KlSSlNG THE HAND.
The Practice, Was, Instituted by the
Early; Roman Rulers.

The Practice, Was, Instituted by the
Early Roman Rulers.
The practice Of kissing the hands
was instituted by the early Roman
rulers as mank of subsection as much,
as one Of respect. and under the first
Caesar the custom was kept up, buzz
only for a 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-
ice 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 it was the
spontaneous language of the affections,
especially that of love.
Under the Romans if 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 if she died her heritage
descended to her nearest relatives.

ingman's "full dinner pail" is a fore

remain close to the soil. The average

defy food trusts because he is a pro-

With this edition The Colored
American introduces an innovation that
is sure to awaken the people 10 the
fact that Negro journalism is moving
forward. We are issuing a four.cel
ored engraving as supplement, with
Mr.. Booker T. Washington as the in.
itial subject. This is the first time such
an unique and costly experiment has
ever been tried by colored newspa.
per. 1t illustrates, however, that The
Colored American leads, blazing the
way for Its followers. We have no
doubt that our large and influential
clientele viii appreciate substantially
our efforts to give them firstclass
paper.
The portrait of Mr.. Washington is
a fine piece of workmanship, and is
taken from his latest and most approx.
ed photograph. 1t is enclosed in The
Colored American, rolled, to avoid
creasing, and is especially suitable for
framing. 1t ought to find a place upon
the walls Of every church, school house,
business Office and home of every col.
ored man in the country.
1t is our purpose to issue these hand.
some supplements atfrequent intervals.
The series will include only leaders of
the race who have won their spurs by
demonstrated merit and valiant service.

pies paper. and the people will strenth |
en- our arms and enable us to make
further improvements if they will give |
US the loyal and earnest support we

the cat out OF the bag. 1t says free
suffrage for both race means that
should the white men become nearly
evenly divided upon some important
issue. both sides will compete for Ne
gro votes, and thus few dozens of
Negroes will settle the fate of a ques
ton affecting the interests of thousands
of Influential white people. This, he
says, is ''Negro domination. Isn't

thus force terms by holding the balance
