ORIGIN OF KISSING
Invention of Saint Paul Caused Trouble Easily
Understood

Originally kissing was form of
mere salutation, corresponding to the
suction among the Eskimos of rub
bling noses. Thus, in the very olden
days, it seemed to many a seemly and
even pious act to kiss the feet of
idols. just as even now millions would
rejoice in the opportunity-after the
modern manner, of course-to kiss
the toe of the pope.
st. Paul extended this phase of the
ceremony by inventing and enjoining
the "holy kiss" or kiss of charity, Sig
nifying Christian love and brother
hood. So far as we have been able
to learn, this method of presenting
evidence of fellowship served satisfac-
torily while confined to the brethren:
but gradual, and apparently not un-
willing, participation in it by the SIS
tiers gave rise to uncertainties n the
minds of so many husbands of selfish

a bit Of pathos, all contribute to make
the evening one never to be forgotten.
I have not had the opportunity of ex-
aiming Mr.. Bancroft's face as well
az 1 would like; he is taciturn and
sits in the shadow, and I am rather
shy after my brilliant performance
of the afternoon.
Bancroft, my cherubic friend
cries father. finishing the story of his
success in the gold mines of Mexico
and his ventures in the copper fields
Of Chill, you conclude that story, my
lad, and tell US all how 1t was that
we came together"
Thus appealed to, my fathers friend
tells how he left the United States
for South American port as a sail
or; how he suffered. being "green,"
on board the vessel; how at last, when
nearing their destination, the port Of
Africa, fearful temblor, or earth
quake, came. and the vessel was
wrecked, all on board perishing save
three.
1.-The three-what became of them?"
say l, leaning forward, rather pleased
with the narrator's voice.
"Of the three, one was left on a
desert isle, having become crazed after
days and days on the sea in an open
boat" ".'
How cruel in you! And did he
die alone, forsaken by all who loved
him, with no hand to help him, no
one to hold his dying head?" say 1,
quickly, my breath coming in gasps.
A great fear seizes me, l know not
why.
The gentleman hesitates and looks
at father, who in turn looks sharply
at him; then father suddenly bolts
from his chair, as is his custom when
excited over any matter, and strides
the floor.
"Of that man who was left on the
barren island" continues the narrat-

contagious diseases peculiar to man
and beast, and this is gradually
spreading to a close inspection of
vegetables, SO that parasites may not
be introduced and injure the plants
of the country. Hawaii maintains a
close quarantine on vegetables and
fruits. an agent of the agricultural and
horticultural department meeting all
shipments that arrive. and giving
them the most minute Inspection If
the smallest insect or fungus is found
the whole consignment is promptly
fumigated, or, if it is deemed neces-
sary, destroyed. Thus the crops and
cattle are protected as much as pos
sible from the introduction of new
diseases.

HOLDS UP STAGE; RIDES IN 1T
old.Fashioned Bandit Takes Money
from Men, Spares Women.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-The Murray
stage, used for the conveyance of pas.
sengers on the line between Bingham
Junction and Sandy, was held up by a
masked robber at Loendahl.
The driver and the men passengers
in the coach were ordered from their
seats. The robber faced them with
drawn revolvers and they readily com.
piled with his demand for money and
valuables. Only six dollars was oh.
tanned from the party, but the driver
secreted considerable sum of money
under the seat. The women passen
gers were not molested.
Thinking he had obtained every
thing of value, the bandit took a place
alongside the driver, sitting on the
secreted money, and rode with the
party to the end of the stage line
where he dismounted and escaped.
