It is generations since real American

Brave young men and reckless boys talk
Of organizing expeditions to wooded hills

couragement comes from the difficulty in
locating the "varmint." According to all
accounts the cries have been heard all
along the coast.
One faction. perhaps the strongest nu-

Grand Company OF SO People in
DEWEY H0MEWARD BOUND |!
RAILROAD OVER WHITE PASS.
Takes Only Nine Days to Reach the
KIondil6e From Vancouver.

tFrom the New Orleans Picayune)
The White Pass and Yukon Railroad
was fully opened to business from Lynn
Canal across the mountains to lake Ben
nett in the last week of July. The rapid
ty with which the Klondye has been
brought into touch with the rest of the
world is illustrated by the fact that on
July 20 many of the European newspapers
printed a despatch sent from Dawson on
the previous day telling of the good feeling
there over the vast improvement in COM
munications that the railroad would intro
duce, and adding that the journey from
Vancouver TO that town would now require
only nine days. The road was practically
completed to the lake on July H. but was
not fully opened till fortnight later. The
company is little more sanguine even
than the people of Dawson as to the short
ening of the time to tnat town. for il de-
clares that Dawson may now be reached in
eight days from Seattle, Tacoma, Victoria
or Vancouver. Up TO this time the
overland journey has certainly been one of
hardship and danger, and has cost a great
deal of money. Today the terribly trying
and arduous part of the trip may be made
in few hours, and at a cost which, though
hardly comparable with the railroad rates
in Illinois, is still almost bsgateie when
measured by the large expense OF packing
freight over mountain passes that are
among the most toilsome and formidable
i'll the world.
AS the construction was begun early in
June last year, the first section of the
road TO Lake Bennett has been completed
in about thirteen months. This time would
have been considerably reduced if it had
not been that about two months after the
work began the news of the discoveries
at the Atlin gold fields caused a stampede
of workmen. One morning I 700 men were
working on the road. and next day the la
Dor brigade numbered only 500, all the
others having departed for the new Ell
Dorado. This was on August S last year,
and from that time there was the greatest
trouble to keep on hand sufficient force
of laboFers. The difficulties were much
augmented, also, by the unusually heavy
snowfall last winter, and during February
and March last nine men were employed
in shoveling snow for every one actually
engaged in railroad construction. Railroad
builders were probably never so bundled
up before to keep them from freezing TO
death, for the work was pushed on steadi-
ly in spite of the elements, and the larger
part of the line was built with the ther-
mometer from 20 to 80 degrees below zero.
1t is said that the company intends TO
push the road on to Dawson as soon
there is any prospect that the development
of the country will warrant this additional
enterprise In other words. having joined
the sea with navigable waters by steam
road. they will rest on their cars for
while.

Origin of the Kiss.
drom the pan Nan Magazine. J


Down to Homerie times the kiss bore a
solely maternal significance. Thus, in Ho-
mer, Kuveos meant only the kiss of father
to child, or the kiss of the supplicant, like
the Proci who kiss the hands of Ulysses.
The kiss never occurs in the love scenes
between Venus and Mars, Ulysses and
Circe, or Paris and Helen Qliad iii, nor
yet between Hera and Laos, who are dis
tinctly depicted as in the bonds OF love
Gliad XIV. In the scene with Andromache.
Hector consoles her not with kiss, but
with caress of his hand. Even in the
ancient Egyptian the definitions Of kiss"
Excepting bach, which is an obscure
point refer to embrace, and not to kiss
ing with the lips In ancient Sanskrit
poetry, again, the kiss is always maternal,
and the kusiami tSaHskrit for 'kiss'0 is
exclusively filial; although later books go
so far as to differentiate twelve varieties
of the kiss The wife of Califa in the
Ramayana, bewailing his death, recalls
the hand. not the lips, that caressed her
So also the wife of the King OF Camoodla;
while the father Bali kisses his son. And
again: And the mother licked her son S
face with her tongue, and made lamenta-
ton like yearning COW bereft OF her cali,
the father fondling him the while y It
would SEEM then, that the kiss, which
among ancient and unciviized peoples is
unknown as a symbol and harbinger of
love, sprang from the entirely maternal
act CT feeding commonly pract'ced by biris,
and very frequently too, by sayages. We
are told that the F'uegians do not use
any kind of cup, but assauge their thirst
by sucking up water from the spring
through a reed child would die CT thirst
if the mother did not supply his needs by
filing her own mouth with water and
fhapca introducinf, n into the mouth of her
babe. From this act the first kiss was
probably evolyed-a kiss not amorous,
therefore, but maternal. Children kiss only
when they have been taught to do so. and
not before they have attained the age OF
six months
