Fifteen Kinds of Kisses,

The monks of the middle ages divid-
ed the kiss into fifteen distinct and sep
arate orders-the decorous, or modest
kiss; the diplomatic, or kiss of policy;
the spying kiss, to ascertain If wom-
an has drunk wine; the slave kiss; the
kiss infamous, a church penance; the
slipper kiss practiced toward tyrants;
the judicial kiss, the feudal kiss. the
religious kiss kissing the cross. the
academical kiss, or Joining solemn
brotherhood; the hand kiss, the Judas
kiss, the medical kiss for the purpose
of healing some sickness; the kiss Of
etiquette; the kiss of love, the only
real kiss.-London Tit-Bits.

A strange but authenticated circum-

Salad Plants.

The chief value and advantage Of
salad plants are derived from their sa-
line matters. In these they are com
paratively rich, especially in potash
salts. Cooking generally extracts these
from vegetables, and consequently such
vegetables as can be eaten in an un-
cooked state present these unchanged
and in most agreeable form in the
crisp, cool and succulent leaves, which
also serve to introduce large amount
Of water into the system.

The COlOring Qualities of Pepper


Canaries when fed with cayenne pep
per gradually change their color, pass
ing from yellow to red. Cayenne pep
per contains Il tinctorial substance, an
Initiative principle and an oil. When
the last two substances are extracted
by sleeping in alcohol, pepper loses its
coloring properties, but an addition of
olive oil restores them. From this fact
the conclusion is drawn that the oily
principle of pepper is the necessary
vehicle Of color Experiments made
with white hens gave similar results.
These hens have also the quality of be-
Ing able to indicate changes Of tenn
perature by marked change of plum
age. The yolk Of their egg is bright
