Chfnese saIntatfons.

BY far the greater part of the AGO.
100000 of China have never practiced
kissing. In fact, the kiss is unknown
to the native Chinese. When one Chi
naman greets another, each clasps his
hands in front of his breast and raises
them to his face, slightly inclining his
head as he asks if the other has eaten
rice" Or, if the salutation is to be
deeply r%everential, he kneels and
bumps his head in the obsequious
"kow-tow."
Those natives who have seen for
eigners in the familiarity of their own
homes, look upon the kiss which is So
frequently exchanged, as the most dis
gushing of the many disgusting and
the many Objectionable habits of the
foreigners. Even the nurses, who
sometimes attempt the kiss, share this
opinion.-London Mail.

O-I-C

When a preparation has an adver-
tised reputation that is worldwide, it
means that preparation is meritorious.
If you go into a store to buy an article
that has achieved universal popularity
like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for ex-
ample, you feel it has the endorsement
of the world. The judgment Of the
people is infallible because it is i'm
personal. The retailer who wants to
sell you something else'' in place of
the article you ask for, has an ak to
grind. Don't 1t stand to reason? He's
trying to sell something that is not
what he represents 1t to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an ex-
ira profit out of your -credulity. Are
you easy? Don't you see through his
little game? The man who will try
and sell you a substitute for CASCAR-
ETS Is a fraud. Beware of him! He
is trying to steal the honestly earned
benefits of a reputation which another
business man has paid for, and if his
conscience will allow him to go so far,
he will go farther. If he cheats his Gus
toner in one way, he will in another
and 1t Is not safe to do business with
him. Beware of the CASCARET sub

ago the water company was granted a
thirty year franchise by the city. the lat
ter reserving the right to purchase the

notice was served by City Attorney ]. Nj.
Lewis and the company made n proposition
to sell the plant for $4,000 of which $50, 900
