WHERE KISSING is UNKNOWN.
How People Of Different Lands Ex'
press Feelings of Endearment.

HOW Peopie OF Difterent LANDS Ex'
press Feelings of Endearment.
A caress, kiss, kindly touch are
supposed to be signs of love every
where, while frown expresses dis
pleasure. A study of the psychology
of peoples shows that the kiss is
only one expression of affection.
There are places where kissing is un-
known, this mode of expression be-
ing only 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 endear-
ment. Paolo Mantegazza, the great
Italian psychologist, says: Fear, re-
ligion, interest, space and time may
separate lovers, but the kiss they
have exchanged will hold them to-
gether" For all this Darwin assures
us that kissing is unknown among
the Malays, the jewellers of the
Friendly Isles, the Andamans, Fue-
SIouO, CuC I AuoIi Oh
ians and the Somals of Africa.
The Malays express their feeling of
endearment by touching noses. They
say much tenderness is expressed by
bringing the noses in contact. They
believe it is by the nose we breathe,
and the bringing of the noses in con-
tact 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 occasionally, but it is Gus
tomary for friends to greet each other
with the eye. When a 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 if a great sorrow had befallen
them. Suddenly, by some uneXplain-
able reason, their grief turns to joy
The man then calls on his other rela.
tives and goes through similar per-
formance
African husbands never kiss their
wives. They would consider this
too familiar expression of devotion.
A Mandigo wife meeting 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 hus-
bands with wonderful dignity; they
PROSTATE themselves, throw sand on
their heads and never think of rising
until their husbands make the COM
mand. The Tongans are more siren
uous in their expression; they tear
their hair, and even beat their
breasts.
But the New Zealanders prefer to
believe that the soul has it's nearest
approach to another soul through the
nose. After long absence the hus-
band gives vent to his joy in the
tangi-a bitter crying and moaning
spell which transforms itself grad
ually into merry laugh. In Poly
nesia, when a husband becomes dem
Onstrative, he strokes his wife's face
with his hand or foot. The Austral-
ian holds his wife by the neck and
pats her on the back.

ROBBERS LOOT A TRAIN.
Great Northern Overland Held Ur
Near Seattle. Wash.

Year Seattle, Wash.
The Great Northern overland train
leaving Seattle at $40 Monday night,
was held up n the express car dyna-
mited about five miles from Ballard. at
S:45 p. m. 1t was IL O'clock before the
train pulled into Edmonds, and meager
reports were sent to the Seattle office.
Sheriff Smith and a posse, armed with
rifles. s%hotguns and revolvers. and led
by trained bloodhounds, went in pursuit
OK the band of robbers. Two boys who
attempted to rob the passengers while
the adult bandits dynamited the through
safe in the express car are in jail. Mean
time it is reported that the h~ighwaymen
obtained a big shipment of gold from
the Alaskan mines. The amount stolen
is estimated all the way from $1,000 TO
500, 900.
Three men, well dressed in rain coats
and wearing SLOUGH hats. did the work.
Conductor Grants report of the holdup
shows that at least seven nal were in
the gang that committed the robbery.
The o 1,tor believes three or four of
the gang We're further down the track,
but did not take any part, possibly be-
cause the train had stopped too soon.
When once inside the car the robbers
began dynamiting, the first explosion
being of six sticks. the second of twelve,
and the third of eighteen. No one was
injured seriously, although a continual
fire of revolvers was kept up. After
securing the contents of the safe the
three men started off in an e~asterly d.
rection.
The train was tagged and as the engi-
neer slowed up two or three men climbed
over the tender and pointed revolvers at
his head. When the train stopped two
of the robbers jumped off, making the
engineer and fireman follow, and all
marched TO the express car door. ''Open
the door," the robber commanded the
messenger. He refused and the robber
placed an extra heavy charge of dyna-
mite against it, which he exploded. The
explosion tore the ear almost TO pieces.
The safe was then dynamited. The
train was delayed two and a half hours
and then was pulled into Edmonds. max
ing a brief report before proceeding to
Everett.
While the robbers were engaged on the
safe, two who had been riding on the
blind baggage slipped off and went
through the train. attempting to hold up
the passengers. They had no guns, but
took advantage of the timidity of the
passengers while the shooting was going
on outside. The boys assert they never
met the hOldups until they got on the
train and are in no way connected with
their work. The idea to hold up the
passengers occurred to them after the
explosion.

Il think the sensational stories print

welt the other day. LAS far as l can
judge, after having beer in the anthra-
cite coal field for some time, everything
will work out tremendously in the end
Il can see no reason why there should

have not seen the railroad presidents
who are also presidents of the coal COM
panies, and / do not expect to hear from
them for some time, but / do expect that
in time there will be a reimbursement
along the lines on which we are now
working"
Mr.. Mitchell said, in response TO a
suggestion that large supplies of coal
were now being stored away in anticipa-
ton of a strike. that he did not take
any stock in that story. This is the
time of year." said he, when coal is
always stored in large quantities"
Mr.. Mitchell says the response to his
efforts TO increase the strength Of his
organization has far exceeded his expec-
tations. The coal situation was not dis.
cussed with the President, he said.

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. Especially
There is deep interest in Green
county over the cure Of the little
daughter Of l. n. Whipkey Of Rheuma-
tism. She was a great sufferer for five
or six years and nothing seemed to do
her any good till she tried Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. She began to improve al
most at once and now she is cured and
a run and play as other children do.
Mr.. Whipkey says:
II am indeed thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter: they saved her from being a
cripple perhaps for llfe."
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved
that Rheumatism Is one Of the results
Of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism Is
caused by Uric Acid In the blood. II
the Kidneys are right there can be no
Uric Acid in the blood and consequent
ly no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kidney
Pills make the Kidneys right.

ODD FACTS ABOUT OLIVES.
Some of Them Which Grow Seasick on
the Voyage Here.


A large percentage of the olives COM
ing to this country, the dealers say,
suffer with the human malady Of sea-
sickness o their ocean voyage. AS in
the human being, the seasickness Of the
olive is the result of the vessels roll
ing and pitching, which in some way
affects the strength OF the brine in
which they are packed, and in conse-
quence the olive turns dark and sick.
and must be cured quickly or it will
succumb to the attack.
A large importing house in this city
has two expert chemists or doctors
who examine all olives at the steamer
dock upon their arrival. The seasick
olives are at once taken from the brine.
carefully washed and deposited In
strong clean brine, which in most cases
has the salutary effect desired. Some
olives revive and are then none the
worse; In fact, they are often improved
In quality. The importation OF olives
reached 100000 gallons here last year.
The finest grown come to the United
States. In France they eat the cres-
cent olive, which Is homegrown. About
5000 gallons of these come to this
country, but they are considered In
ferior to the Spanish. In England the
edible olive is small, cheap and oily.
Most of the fine Spanish Queen olives,
which grow within a fifty-mile radius
of Seville and nowhere else, come 10
this country and constitute between 20
and 10 per cent Of the entire importa-
ton. They are not popular In Spain,
as they are deemed too expensive, and
the Spanish people prefer to ship them
and obtain the money. The constitu-
ton Of the olive is very delicate, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
From the time the crop is gathered un-
til it Is finally packed in the bottle
there is not a moment which Is not
fraught with the intensest anxiety on
the part of all who handle the fruit
Some three years ago there was a 10
per cent advance In the price OF olives
owing to the shortage Of the crop. The
price, however, has been maintained
and importers believe 1t will remain
high. Olives are usually imported In
the bulk, as the duty on bottled olives
Is 40 per cent ad valorem, while in bar
rels there is a specific duty of 10 cents
a gallon, which is much cheaper.
