tn. H..a kiss.

The kiss Of the hand Is undoubtedly
ancient and therefore Is not derived
from that Of the lips, but probably the
converse Is true The hand kiss ls
loosely asserted to be developed from
servile obeisances in which the earth.
the foot and the garments were kissed.
the hand and cheek succeeding In order
Of time and approach to equality OF
rank. But It Is doubtful II that was
the actual order, and It ls certain that
at the, time when hand kissing began
there were less numerous gradations Of
rank than alta later stage.
kissing Of the hands between men Is
mentioned in the Old Testament. also
by Homer. Pliny and Luclan. The kiss
was applied %reverentlally to sacred OBJ
jects, such as statues Of the gods. az liz
shown BY ancient works Of art. and
also among numerous etymologies by
that Of the Latin word ''adoro." and II
was. also metaphorically applied by the
inferior or. worshiper kissing bis own
hand and throwing the salute to the
superior OF statue.

THE world has as yet made no de-

About writins ones Name,

People who sign their letters with

compliments to their correspondent by
egotistically assuming that their hand.

portaAce to him or that they and their

further Identification is unnecessary.
Having their signature cut from the

incloses a reply is q bad compliment
which many persons bring upon them
selves by an objectionable eligibility.
It is singular fact that accidental mis-
spelling or mispronunciation Of ones

SCHOOL FOR POOR CHILDREN.
John ID. Roc1<cfelIer, Jr., Gives $780,
900 for Establishment of In
stitutiOn of Learning.

John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., son of the
president of the Standard Oil COM
pany, has subscribed $25OoO0 for the
founding of an institution of learning
for poor boys and girls. The school
is now in course of erection in Tenth
avenue, between Forty-seventh and
Forty-eighth streets, and will be COM
pleted and ready for occupancy by
March l next. Not until the other
day, when the announcement was
made in report of the 61 Baptist
churches in New York was 1t general
ly known that young Mr.. Rockefeller
was building the big structure for a
school and that it was to be supported
by him.
The erection of the institution is in
charge of c. NJ. Hill, whose knowledge
of the sort of learning that will best
benefit children of the poor has led
Mr.. Rockefeller to turn over the en-
tire management to him. Mr.. Hill
will be assisted in his work by the
Baptist ministers of New York. In
connection with the school there will
also De rel1ef station, where poor
persons will be provided for.
The school is to be run on the same
lines as Cooper union, except that Mr..
Rockefeller plans to make it more of
a school for the poorest of the poor
Others who want learning will be
taught, but the school is primarily in
tended as school for the poor. Sci
entific studies, it is expected, will be
subordinated, though science will be
taught in some of the higher grades.
The school will have night and day
sessions. Not one cent will be charged
the pupils. 1t is expected that it will
be kept open during the summer
months. Lectures by interesting
speakers are expected to be one of the
features of the school.

ON THE TABLE
Went the Resolution Of Representative De
Almond OF Missouri.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
Washington, D. c., Jan. 15.-The
House military affairs committee to-
day decided to lay on the table the
DeArmond resolution, calling on the
Secretary Of War for information as to
what protest, criticism or suggestion
Gen. Chaffee or any ether American
officer in China has made concerning
locting or other improper conduct, to
whom it was made and the result.
The committees action was based on
a letter from Secretary Root to Chair
man Hull, setting forth "that the sub
jeot to which the resolution relates Is
so intimately connected with the dip
lomatic relations and negotiations con-
cerning the critical and delicate condl d.
tion now existing in China that think
it would be very inadvisable to at
tempt any public statement or invite
public discussion upon any branch of
the subject at this time"

LEPRosY REPORT A SURPRISE
Conditions In the Philippines Much
More Serious Thnn Supposed
Isolation Now Planned.

An appended report to Gen. MacAr.
thurs review of the civil affairs of the
Philippines for the last fiscal year
gives some rather startling facts re-
garding the introduction and preva-
lence of leprosy in the islands.
According to the estimates of the
Franciscan fathers, says Maj. Guy L.
Edie. the writer of the report, there are
no less than 10000 lepers in the archi-
pelago, the major portion of these be-
ing in the Viscayas.
Leprosy was introduced in 1888. when
the emperor of Japan sent ship with
15O lepers on board TO the Philippines
as a present to be cared for by the
Catholic priests. Thus the seed was
planted, and as no practical methods
ever were adopted to eradicate the
disease or prevent its spread. it has
taken firm root. A house to house
inspection begun last January found
more than 100 lepers concealed in
dwellings. These were sent to San
Lazaro hospital in Manila, but many
others escaped into the surrounding
country. commission is now. en-
gagged in the work of selecting suta-
BILE island or islands for the purpose of
isolating all the lepers in the archi-
pelago.
