EthnoIogy of Kissing

The kiss was unknown, think,
among the aboriginal tribes of Amer.
lea and of Central Africa. From the
most ancient times, however, 1t has
been familiar to the Asiatic and Euro.
pean races. The Latins divided 1t
into three forms-the osculum, the
basium and the suavium; the first be.
ing the kiss of friendship and respect
the second OF ceremony and the third
of love. The Semites always knew
the kiss, and Job speaks of It as part
OF the sacred rites, as 1t is today In
the Roman Church.
The Monaghan kiss, however is not
the same as that which prevails with
us. In II the lips do not touch the
surface of the person kissed. The
nose is brought into light contact with
the cheek, forehead or hand: the
breath is drawn slowly through the
nostrils. and the act ends with a
slight smack OF the lips. The Chinese
consider our mode of kissing full Of
coarse suggestiyeness, and our writer's

Family tradition has handed down
the following ancc1ote regarding the
bnbyhood of Il gentleman. now grand
father. who is noted among his many
friends and acuuaintanccs for his
marked decision of characters: When he
was two or three years old, he was
taken very i'll, and his family in alarm
sent for the village doctor. That worthy
came and prepared a powerful dose
after the custom of those days, which
the small sufferer was forced to take in
spite of much kicking and squa ling.
The next day the doctor came again
and once more fixed up the cup Of good
old fashioned medicine and set 1t be-
fore the fireplace to warm. The baby
watched proceedings intently up to this
point then suddenly slid from his
mothers lap and, toddling unsteadily
to the fire. kicked the cup under the
backlog.

material is burned gumbo. the very
mud which makes the roads so bad,

one OF the best r,adbuil,iing materials

Yhe credit of making the first prac-

longs to the railroads. For several
years they have been using burned
Eunlbo as ballast for their rOadbeds In
Illinois, Missouri Iowa and other
states of the middle west. 1t was first
intended as substitute for crushed
rock In regions where rock could not
easily be obtained, but it demonstrated

this is thrown three or four inches of

from twelve to twenty inches of mud.
When the wood is fired, a slow COM
bustion goes on, which converts the
mud into small. sharp cornered and
exceedingly hard pieces, so that the
product has the appearance of red
gravel.
The railroads find that they can

that would make Munchausen turn
green with envy. One Of the most cele
brated of these Is his story Of the wild
men Of Prester John, which is as fol-

"In the court Of Prester Iohn there IS
wilde man and another in the high
street of Constantinople whose allow
ancc is every day quarter Of raw
mutton, and when any man dyeth for
some notorious offence then they are
allowed every day n quarter Of mans

fast to post every day, the one in

high street of Constantinople. each OF
them having a mantell about their
shoulders. and all over their bodyes
they have wonderful long haire. They
