When a Kiss Was Valuable.

The practice Of kissing the hands
was instituted by the early Roman rul-
ers as mark of subsection as much as
one Of respect, and under the first Ce-
sars the custom was kept up, but only
for time. These worthless conceived
the Idea that the proper homage due to
their exalted station called for less IA
miliar modes of obeisance, so the privi-
lege Of kissing the emperor's hand was
reserved as a special mark of conde-
scension or distinction for officers OF
high rank.
Roman fathers considered the prac-
tice of kissing of so delicate nature
that they never kissed their wives in
the presence of their daughters. Then,
too, only the nearest relatives were al
lowed to kiss their kindred Of the gen.
tier sex on the mouth, for in those
days, as now, kissing was not a mere
arbitrary sign, but 1t was the sponta-
neous language of the affections, espe-.
cially that Of love.
Under the Romans if lover kissed
his betrothed before marriage she in
herited half Of his worldly goods In the
event Of his death before the marriage
ceremony, and II she died her heritage
descended to her nearest relatives

How Twain introduced HawIey.

"Only once did Mark Twain appear
in public as political speaker" says
VIII NJ. Clemens in Ainsiee's. LAS a
conscientious Republican in his politi-
cal preferences Mr.. Clemens took an
active interest in the presidential cam
paign of 1880. While visiting in Elmi-
ra, N. Y, in the fall of that year he
made short speech one Saturday
night, introducing to Republican
meeting General Hawley of Connect
cut. In the course of his remarks Mr.
Clemens said:
General Hawley Is a member of
my church at Hartford and the author
of Beautiful Snow" Maybe he will
deny that. But am only here to give
him character from his last place. AS
a pure citizen | respect him, as a per-
sonal friend of years have the warm
est regard for him, as neighbor
whose vegetable garden adjoins mine,
why-why, l watch him. As the au-
thor Of Beautiful Snow" he has added
a new pang to winter. He is square,
true man in honest politics, and | must
say he occupies mighty lonesome po-
sition. So broad, so bountiful is his
character that he never turned tramp
empty handed from his door, but al
ways gave him a letter of introduction
to me. Pure, honest, incorruptible, that
Is Joe Hawley. Such man in politics
Is like bottle of perfumery in a glue
factory-it may moderate the stencil.
but 1t doesn't destroy it, l haven't
said any more of him than | would say
Of myself. Ladies and gentlemen, this
Is General Hawley'"

General Starr, gallant old soldier,
had an irrepressible dislike for young
lieutenants fresh from West Point. In
1874 General Starr was in command at
Fort Riley, and one day an orderly
came to his quarters with the message
that Lieutenant Morrison, just from
West Point was at the post ready to
pay his respects and report for duty.
In response to this message the old
general was starting for his office,
when his wife, a motherly old soul,
plucked him by the sleeve and said,
"Now, general, promise me that you
won't be rough with that young man."
Rough" said the old man, smiling
amiably upon his matrimonial COM
panion. why, I'll be peaches and
cream unless the young dog riles me-"
Reaching his office, the general was
confronted with a dapper little fellow
as spick and span as though he had
just come from the hands Of his barber
and tailor, while he had the half super
cilious air that seems inseparable from
the first stages of military education.
Looking the young lieutenant over
for half moment, the old general said
with great dignity: How do you do.
Mr. Morrison. l am pleased to see
you" Then as flush gradually mount
ed over his weather beaten features he
added: Il am always glad to see you
young men from the Military academy
You-you-(her the general ended with

Tired Metals,

1t is fact Of comparatively recent
discovery in chemical metallurgy that
metals lose their vitality from repeti-
tons of shocks and strains and may be
said, as the expression Is, to suffer
from fatigue-that is, they may be
worked till their molecules fail to hold
together.
AS Is Familiarity known, bars Of tin,
rods of brass and wires Of any metal
will separate owing to fatigue If bent
backward and forward continuously
But by careful experiments, however,
the fact is made to appear that a rem
edy exists for this condition Of metals
If the overstrain does not border on
rupture, and this remedy is very much
like that which Is applied in the case
Of an overworked human frame
namely, rest.
Feather edged tools recover their vi
tally better than any other. OF course
the length of time required for this rest
varies with different metals and the
amount of strain to which they have
been subjected.
Hard metals such as iron and steel,
use up one and two years time in the
process. On the other hand, soft met
ais, like lead, retain their cohesive
force longer and also require less rest,

Harder 10 Say No rh.n Ye,.


He was most worthy young man,
with fondness for discussing socio-
logical and moral questions, and once
started on his hobby he could scarcely
be headed in any other direction. He
had been quite devoted in his attention
to one young woman for as much as
six months, but she had been unable to
bring him to his senses, though she
was willing to confess that she had
tried repeatedly to do so. OF course
she had done it in the delicate ways
women have In those matters, but
what he needed was club.
Not great while ago he was calling
as usual, and as usual he was neglect
ing sentiment for something that only
made a girl tired. This time he was
moralizing on the temptations of life
and the proneness Of people to yield
without making the proper effort
against them in whatever form they
might appear.
However" he said in conclusion,
displaying a commendable spirit of
charity for the weak, ut Is a very diff
cult thing for any one to say Mo-"
Here was an unexpected chance for
her.
"And conversely" she responded
slowly so he could get the full force Of
it, 1T should be very easy for one to
say Yes"
He looked her straight in the eyes at
last, and hush fell upon the scene.
"Um-er-um," he hesitated, Miss
Kate, am l a chump"
ut is very difficult for one to say
No." she said with a pretty little
smile, and later she found 1t quite easy
to say Yes. Washington Star.

principals were well supported and the
company made 4 great hit. Harris
was particularly strong in his part and
everywhere had the full sympathy of the
audience. Many of the situations were
particularly strong and lost nothing
through the work Of the company, but
rather the company added strength.
The stage settings We're particularly
