When a Kiss Was Valuable.

The practice of kissing the hands was instituted by the early Roman rul- CTS as a mark of subjection as much as one of respect, and under the first Ca- sars the custom was kept up, but only for time. These worthies conceived the idea that the proper homage due to their exalted station called for less fa- 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 a nature that they never kissed their wives in the presence of their daughters. Then. too, only the nearest relatives were d. 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 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 If she died her heritage descended to her nearest relatives Frank H. Vizetelly in Woman's Home Companion.

 "Yo' say he go long the right trailT muttered the man.
 "Yes," replied Barker.
 'Then he's sure gone wrong. That right trail leads down to the Bo' camp,

 It was too late now to warn the Ger

 When Tom Barker and the negro guide, the latter resting against the Englishman's shoulder, staggered into
 the hut of a friendly Kaffir just before sunrise the next morning, they could obtain no tidings of the German. But they received a rude welcome and a rough shakedown from the long suffer ing Kafiirs, who had during the war learned to respect the English race. The next day Tom Barker, with new guide, started off once more for the British camp on the Tugela. They reached 1t at sunset the next evening, | and Barker reported himself to the commanding officer, who was glad 10 get news of the belcaguered army in Ladysmith, and, although Tom Barker
 begged for a party to go out In search of the lost German correspondent, the
