KISSING THE HAND.
The Practice Was Instituted by the
Early Roman Rulers.

The practice of kissing the hands
was instituted by the early Roman
rulers as a mark of subsection as much
as one Of respect. and under the first
Caesar the custom was kept up, but
only for time.
These worthless conceived the idea
that the proper homage due to their
exalted station called for less familiar
modes of obeisance, so the privilege
of kissing the emperor's hand was re-
served as a special mark of condescen-
sion or distinction for officers of high
rank.
No such restriction, however, was
placed on the emperors themselves,
who, if they wished to confer signal
honor on any of their subjects, kissed
either the mouths or the eyes of those
they wished specially to favor. the kiss
generally intimating some promotion
or personal satisfaction for some
achievement.
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 allowed to kiss their kindred of
the gentler sex on the mouth, for in
those days, as now, kissing was not a
mere arbitrary sign, but 1t was the
spontaneous language of the affections,
especially that of love.
Under the Romans IL 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 il she died her heritage
descended to her nearest relatives.

THE GIRLS OF KASHMIR.
Why They Are tot as Beautiful ms
They Once Were.


They Once Were.
The girls of Kashmir In former times
were sold and carried away to the
Punjab, in India. They commanded a
large price. and parents In moderate
circumstances for centuries past have
been In the habit of parting with their
daughters to place themselves In easier
circumstances, and the daughters have
generally been quite willing to escape
from life OF penury and labor to one
of opulence and ease.
A laboring man in this part of India
cannot earn over 81 or So a month,
while many receive for their daughters
as high as $1,000. There are some cases
where $1,000 was paid, but the usual
price has been from 800 to $500.
The practice became so common as
well as so damaging that a severe law
was enacted prohibiting any one from
removing any woman from the coun-
try, but 1t is said that the business
goes on now as 1t has done for hun
dreds of years, and to that practice
may be charged the fact that the wo-
men Of Kashmir are not as beautiful
as they once were.
The process Of taking all the beauti-
full girls away, leaving only the ordi-
nary and ugly ones to continue the
race. has lowered the standard Of beau
ty. Most of the women and girls per-
form field labor as much as the men.
and their dress is of the coarsest and
plainest materials, consisting of gar
ment like a nightgown made of white
cotton. There is no effort to have 1t fit.
The condition Of women in Kashmir
is very sad one. but one from which
there does not seem to be any present
escape. 1t is constant struggle to
live, without the least hope of any ac-
emulation or OF ever seeing better
days.
The men only receive about 8 cents q
day and the women generally about 8
cents, and that will provide only the
coarsest food.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

CURES FOR TOOTHACHE.

"Never since my tender age had | eX-

eminent preacher that when his own

Unfortunately ordinary men do not
seem to have such efiicacious faith.
When the excruciation begins, they
must bear it philosophically and on
Shakespeare's authority toothache
finds out just the weak place In the
philosophers armOr of patience. In
the middle ages the devout who were
racked with pain had special patron

the emperor Philip, among other
cruel indignities had her teeth pulled
out. In consequence she became tooth
aches tutelary saint, as her emblems-

pinchers" testify.
And there would seem to have been
yet another martyr, st. Blaize, who
took cognizance of the disease. He was
honored In the little town of st. Bla-
zey, in Cornwall, where candles Of
fered upon his altar were supposed to
be an infallible cure for toothache.-

DIVIDEND
IS CUT OFF

BY action of the Board Of Directors
of the oahu Sugar Company the pay
meut Of dividends has been disCOntin-
ued until further notice. This step was
taken at called meeting of the COM
pany and was directly due 10 the re-
cent reports of the falling price of sug-
ar. The price now means Il reduction
of sl2 ton from that secured Tor the
crop last year and n decrease Of s23
from the price of two years ago. The
reports made to the board showed that
the permanent Improvement account
has been charged with 100000 this
year and the falling off in receipts has
made it Impossible for the company to
pay bills and keep up the dividends,
and the latter were shut off so that
the debt of the plantation might not be
piled up higher.
The plantation not yet being fully de-
veloped. the charges would have been a
burden where next year, with a full
plantation working. there will be no
trouble in taking care of the entire
work of the plantation and yet having
"A good, dividend to pay.
The crop this year will be In the
neighborhood of $4,000 tons. There is
still one great field to harvest and this
is a conservative estimate. The esti-
mate Of Manager Ahrens for the year
was $1,000 tons, but owing to increased
yield some Of the plantation men
thought there would be 30, 200. This has
now been abandoned.

high sheriff was dissolved, Judge Estee
holding that he had no jurisdiction to
cnjoin Territorial court from enforc-
ing its judgment against Wilder's
Steamship Company as garnishee.
In the afternoon the matter was
brought up again on Hollands petition
for his money. T.. u. McClanahan APP
pcaring for the defendant claimed that
the judgment rendered by Judge Dick
ey barred the proceeding In Federal
Court. MIR. Dillon for Holland contend
ed that seamen's wages could not be
attached for any debt, and the court
sustained this view. Judge Estee seld
however. that he did not wish to make
the company pay the debt twice, both
to the Chinese who had garnisheed IT,
and TO Holland. and he took the mat
ter under advisement The 500 over
