meeting General Hawley of Connecti
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
pure citizen ! respect him, as per-
sonal friend Of years l have the warm
est regard for him. as neighbor
whose vegetable garden adjoins mine,
why-why, 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 a mighty lonesome po.
sltion. SO broad, so bountiful is his
character that he never turned tramp
empty handed from his door, but all
ways gave him letter of introduction
to me. Pure. honest, incorruptible, that
is Joe Hawley. Such a man in politics
is like bottle of perfumery in glue
factory-it may moderate the stencil,
but 1t doesn't destroy it. 1 haven't
said any more of him than would say
of myself. Ladies' and gentlemen, this
is General Hawley.'"

when a Kis. Was valuable.

The practice of kissing the hands
was instituted by the early Roman rul-
ers as q mark OF subjection as much as
one of respect, and under the first Cae-
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 special mark Of conde-
scension or distinction for officers Of
high rank.
Roman fathers considered the prac-
tice of kissing Of so delicate a 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 mere
arbitrary sign, but it 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 If she died her heritage
descended to her nearest relatives

Ditched the Bishop.

''I remember once driving across the

Cyrus Townsend Brady of "a Mission
ary In the Great West" in the Ladies'
Home Journal, "while discussing the
nature of the soul. That Is, the bishop
was discussing. ] was only prompting
by question now and then. We were
on the rear seat of a wagon, with the
driver on the front seat. 1t was a
very dark night. In the middle of the
bishops exposition the wagon took n
wild plunge, there was crash, and
over we went into the muddy ditch.
81 beg your pardon, gents! said the
driver, who had retained control of the
horses as we scrambled to our feet. 4

discussln my immortal soul. which
hardly ever knowed that ! had one be-
fore, that clean forgot where we was

Four Lerged weather prophet..

Though the tortoise Is an excellent
weather prophet, the fact is known to
comparatively few people. Tortoise
farmers on the African coast notice
that even "a hours before rain falls
these curious animals prepare for 1t by
seeking the convenient shelter of over
hanging rocks. 1t may be bright,
clear, sunshiny morning, but the farm.
ers believe implicitly in the tactics Of
the tortoise, who is seldom mistaken,
for the downpour is certain to come
within the time stated.
A pet tortoise would be practical
present to bestow on ones friends.
This curious premonition of the ap-
proach Of rain is shared by many other
animals and birds and may be explain
ed partially by the fact that while rain
is forming the atmosphere Is increas-
ing in weight, but there may also be
some need of moisture which makes
them aware Of its approach or some
habits of life which make them thus
sensitive.-Chicago Record.

the collar button means to humanity.
There have been greater inventions,
surely, but not many that have con-
ferred more unmixed blessing on
mankind.
1.-THE younger person Of today, ac-
customed to the collar button always,
cannot realize what 1t was to be with
out 1t. He can never know what 1t
was to have shirts with the buttons
sewed on-or not, as the case might
be. Not 80 very many years ago, when
the collar button was yet comparative
ly new, before persons had come to
keep, as everybody commonly does
now, lot of buttons on hand, the man
who had lost his collar button thought
himself entitled to the sympathy of his
fellows. but wrung as he might be by
that loss he could not even guess at
the anguish that in the sewed on but
ton days filled the heart of the man
who, when he came to put on his last
clean shirt. found that key button, the
one on the collar band, most important
one Of all, gone entirely or only just
hanging by thread!
