MOB BURNED OFFICER TO DEATH.
Lieut.. Kursk Killed Drunken Soldier
Crowd Incinerated Him in Car

The temper of civilians and soldiers to-
ward the officers of the army was horribly
demonstrated at st. Petersburg yesterday.
A detachment of ninety soldiers. COM
manded by Lieut.. Kursk, arrived at the
railway station. There the lieutenant, dis
covering that two Of his men were intoxi-
Gated. ordered that they be seized and
bound. The others in his command were
reluctantly obeying him when one Of the
tipsy soldiers insulted Kursk most grossly.
The lieutenant, in a fury, drew his re-
volver and shot the soldier dead.
1t happened that religious procession
was passing at the moment. A thousand
of these pilgrims, forgetting their piety.
rushed at Lieut.. Kursk, hurting stones at
him. His soldiers made no effort to defend
him.
He ran to the frst-class car on the train,
in which were his wife and their baby.
The mob pursued him and bombarded the
carriage with stones.
The lieutenant's weeping wife and babe
left the carriage for the rioters assured
them that unless they sought safety they
would be destroyed with kursk.
The frenzied people threw kerosene on the
carriage and set it on fire.
When Lieut.. Kursk who behaved bravely,
tried to dash through them, they drove him
back, and he was burned to death in the
car

WHERE KISSING IS UNKNOWN.
How People Of Different Lands Express
Feelings Of Endearment.

Feelings Of Endearment.
From the Cleveland Leader.
A caress, a kiss kindly touch are sup
posed to be signs of love everywhere, while
a frown expresses displeasure study Of
the psychology of people shows that the
kiss is only one expression of affection.
There are places where kissing is unknown
this mode Of expression being supplemented
by caressing with the hand the nose, the
tongue, clapping of hands and various en-
braces.
Western civilization holds the kiss as the
kindest expression of endearment. Paolo
Mantegazza, the great Italian psychologist,
says: Fear, religion, interest. space and
time may separate lovers, but the kiss they
have exchanged will hold them together"
For all this Darwin assures US that kissing
Is unknown among the Malays, the dwell
ers Of the Friendly Isles. the Andamans.
Fuegians. the Taitians. Papuans. Austria
lians and the Somals of Africa.
The Malays express their feeling Of en-
dearment by touching noseA They say
much tenderness Is expressed by bringing
the noses In contact They believe 1t Is by
noses in contact has the same influence on
the soul. A traveller told them to kiss
with their lips. but they said: mo, no, the
soul Is not In the mouth"
The Andaman islanders also refuse to hear
Of the joys of kissing. They rub noses oc-
cas1onally. but it Is customary for friends
to greet each other with the eye. When
husband is away and returns home, he
shows his joy by sitting with his arms
about his wife's neck, and they weep and
howl as II a great sorrow had befallen
them. Suddenly. by some unexplainable
reason, this grief turns to joy. The man
then calls on his other relatives and goes
through similar performance
African husbands never kiss their wives.
They would consider this a too familiar ex-
preston of devotion. A Mandgo wife meet
Ing her husband who has just returned
home, throws herself on the ground as a
token of greeting. In Loango the women
kneel. and as they rise they clap their
hands.
The Dahomians greet their husbands with
wonderful dignity; they PROSTATE them
selves. throw sand on their heads and never
think of rising until their husbands make
the command. The Tongans are more
strenuous in their expression; they tear
their hair, and even beat their breasts
But the New Zealanders prefer to believe
that the soul has its nearest approach to
another soul through the nose. After
long absence the husband gives vent to his
JOY In the tapgi-a bitter crying and moan
ing spell, which transforms Itself gradually
into merry laugh. In Polynesia, when a
husband becomes demonstrative, he strokes
his wifes face with his hand or foot The
Australian holds his wife by the neck and
pats her on the back
