sort"
And If you want Miss Polite wheedled
INTO crying off the Lords engagement
you may go and see what YOU can make
OF her yourself. | will have nothing to
do with any such undetermined trick"
Left to his own devices. Charlie Pever-
Ill twho had quite made up his mind that
Polne Sitwell should not come to Lords
for all his friends to laugh at her in
their sleeves), resolved to 90 and see her
himself, and try to put it to her, without
otfense, that it would be better for her
not to 90 to the varsity match.
But this was easier resolved upon than
done. Polite, who was a shrewd girl,
and endowed, moreover, with plenty of
proper pride, saw through her lovers real
| object before he had got half through his
opening speech.
Il see what it is" she exclaimed,
breathing quickly and with heightened
color. You're ashamed of me. You
might just as well drop all this pretense
of consideration for my feelings, and say
so straight out, at once"

| SENSE
"Oh, yes, you are" retorted Polite,
flashing upon him a glance of wounded
and indignant scorn. You're ashamed of
showing me to your smart friends. I'm
not good enough to be seen with you at
Lords. Well, it seems to me, Mr..
Charles Peverill, that if l am not good
enough to be seen with you at Lords at
cricket match Pm not good enough to
be seen with you at church at wedding
teither. Pm not going to become
yours, or any other mans wife, ON suf-
ferance, | can tell you. Though / am
only poor girl, still have some pride
So from this moment you may
consider everything over between us, and
very thankful / am to have found out
your true character before it was toe
late. Fancy what it would have meant
to be tied, for life, to man who was all
the while ashamed of me. And now III
wish you goodbye"
In vain he pleaded and protested The
indignant Miss Polite declined to have
anything further to do with him. Thus
was his engagement brought to sudden
and ignominious termination.
The truth was-as George Lascelles had
discovered in his inquiries-that it was
rather the gIamor of having a gentle
man lover, than any true feeling of affec
ton for young Peverill that had infu
enced Polite into accepting his addresses
In fact, her heart was really giver
Though at the time when she accepted
Peverill she perhaps scarcely knew it, tc

station
But Charlie never knew that Lascelles

ORIGIN OF THE KISS.
It's Earliest Form-The Caress of the
Ancient Indians.

At recent session of the American
Oriental society Prof. Hopkins of Yale
read paper on The Sniff Kiss in An
cient India" Reduced to its foundation.
the paper was a history of the kiss as
we know it. The learned Orientalist
traced it from its birth and proved that
the earliest peoples and earliest times
knew it not. That there might be no
mistake he labelled the kiss of today
the genuine kiss" and 1.-THE perfect
kiss"
Oddly enough. he finds that the genu-
inc kiss was invented by woman. The
description is given in the epic of an
Client India which treats of the science
of love.
'She laid her mouth on my mouth" re
cites the poet, land made noise which
gave me pleasure"
The early peoples declared Prof.
Hopkins, knew nothing of the kiss in
any form. Had they known of it they
would have told something of it in the
mass of records that has come down to
us, for surely an act which conveys such
pleasure could not have been forgotten.
Even to this day there are races that
do not kiss. The Mongolians and certain
of the tribes in central Asia do not oscu-
late, and the EsquimauX, we are told,
employ the kiss only as prophylactlc.
The earliest fUrm-Uf the kiss is that
WHICH we KNOW us the SHlH KISS. MS
is a smelling, usually of the head. The
father of newborn son shifted his
head that his days might he long and
that honors might come to him. Return
ing from journey, he shifted the heads
of his children i'll the same manner.
Gradually with this sniff kiss there
came also Il caress. Il touching usually of
the head. Gradually, also, the endear-
ment came to be applied to others than
children. The rubbing of noses, which
has persisted in some tribes, was prob
abb an intermediate process in the eyo-
luton.
With the development of the genuine
kiss the sniff kiss disappeared, never to
reappear. 1t had served its purpose and
soon was forgotten
Thus the sniff kiss proves the mother
and father of all kisses. Blessed he-the
sniff kiss.-Philadelph North American.

The King of Spain's Throne.

The throne room of Spain, which the
civilized world is now watching with
more than usual interest, outrivals in
splendor any in Europe. The ancient
throne stands in the apartment known as
the Room of Ambassadors. The decora-
tions of this apartment include vast crys-
tai chandeliers, huge tables inlaid with
precious marbles. vast plate glass mir
rors. gildings, rich hangings-and above
all the painted ceiling representing the
long line of Spanish kings in the various
picturesque costumes of the provinces.
Here Spanish kings receive on state oc-
casions and here, too, their bodies lie in
state after death. The throne is Of rich
velvet, embroidered. Around il are
grouped four great silver lions with their
heads turned away as if guarding the
occupant -Four broad steps lead up to
the throne from the polished floor of the
room aud the crimson covered fOotstool
is in itself a work of art.
In this room have been gathered for
ages curios and gems from Spanish pos
sessions the world over, at time when
Spain was mistress of the world. And
here in front of the throne hang chan
deliers of rock crystal. which have for
generations been the envy of other Eu
ropean rulers

CYPRESS KNEES.
How They Are Formed-Trees' Curious
Blunt Roots

The cypress knee is a familiar object
in all the lowland forests of the south,
but there are thousands of northern peo-
pie who have never seen them. and there
are many southern people, too, who have
not seen them till they stumbled over
them some dark night, The knee is of
solid wood. has no limits OF leaves, is
anywhere from 6 inches to & feet in
height. and its rounded top and flattened
sides give it very much the shape of n
human leg bent at the knee till thigh
and calf are brought together; hence the
appropriate name of knee"
For number of years / was curious
as To what part the knees played in the
life of the cypress tree. writes a CORE
spondent of Forest and Stream. for they
are part of thu root system and do not
grow independently. They Were not
sprouts, trying TO grow into trees. for
they never developed branches; and the
final conclusion was that their only use
was for people to stumble over. How
and why such useless appendices to the
tree were formed was Il mystery until
one day, when drifting down a deep
channel which had been washed through
cypress swamp, the secret was ex-
posed.
The earth had been washed away
from the roots of some of the trees. ana
roots in all stages of growth were in
sight. None of these roots was less
than PIP inches thick and of uniform size
clear to their tips, or rather clear to
their blunt ends, for these was no tip.
Nature intended these roots TO grow
in soft mud. and they were all right for
that purpose but when the blunt end of
Il root encountered something too hard
to push through il bent or buckled in the
line of least resistance, and this was
generally toward the top of the ground.
and the continuing growth of the root
pushing the bend further upward made
the bend closer, until finally the two
arms Of the bend were close together
aud they grew together, with one sheet
Of bark enclosing both.
