"When one considers what the

high place she has now woa for her

ORIGIN OF KISSING.
Barswell People.


According to Prof Caesar LON
broso. the distinguished Italian Grim
inologiss. kissing is quite a modern
practice and originated iE very
curious manner The kiss. as token
of sfectioD, wss unknown to the
Greeks, and neither in Homer nor in
Rerodo,us do we find any mention o1
it Hector did not kiss his .Andro
mache when be bade her farewell ;
neither did Paris press bis lips to
those Of the beautiful Helen. and
Ulysses, who was more of cosmo
politan than any man of bis day,
never dreamed of kissing the en-
chanting Gree, and when. after. long
wsnderiugs, be returned home to bic
spouse, Penelope. he satisied MIN
seif by putting one of his stalwart
arms around her waist and drew her
to him.
The people of Terre del Fuego.
says Lombroso, have taught civilized
nations the origin of the delightful
art Of kissing Drinking vessels are
unknown in that country. and the
people, when they are thirsty, simply
lie down beside The brooks and drink
the water as it flows by them 1t is
evident, however. that infants could
not satisfy their thirst in this pyimi
tive fashion. and, therefore, their
mothers have for ages supplied them
With water by filing their own
mouths fret and then letting it pass
through their lips into the eSpec,ant
mouths of the little ones In some
places the banks of the rivers and
brooks are so high that water cannot
be obtained In the usual way, aud the
mothers in such places draw it up
through long reeds
Birds feed their young ones In q
similar nanper. They first 6iI their
own mouths with water and then
transfer !, to the wide open mouths
of the little ones This very ancient
maternal practice is, according to
Lombrcso, the only source to which
the modern practice of kissing can
be traced The custom OF pressing
one mouth to another originated with
The women in Terre del Fuego, who
could only supply their infants with
drink in ,his manner, and it is pre-
sumab!e ;hst they learned the lesson
from ,oe birds Finally we are told
that kise!pg is sn evidence OF atsv'sm
and memorial Of that early stSse IN
our development during which
the wife had not yet irinmphed over
the mother, nor love over maternity
I4ombroso views on this subject
says .he New York Herald meet
wah the general approval OF scent
ista. though there are some who
point out ,ha, this explanation OF the
orgin Of kissing is not IN accordance
with tie one handed down TO US by
the old Romans These latter main
tain that the kiss was invented by
