ORIGIN OF THE KISS.
Its Earliest Form-The Caress of the
 Ancient Indians.

At recent session of the American Oriental society Prof. Hopkins, of Yale, read a paper on The Sniff Kiss in Ancient India" Reduced to its foundation, the paper was 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 labeled the kiss of to-day the genuine kiss" and ''the perfect kiss
 Oddly enough, he finds that the genuine kiss was invented by a wom- an. The description is given in the epic of ancient India which treats of the science of love.
 "She laid her mouth to my mouth" recites the poet. and made noise which gave me pleasure"
 'The early peoples declared Prof Hopkins. knew nothing of the kiss in

BABY IN TERRIBLE STATE.
Awful Humor Eating Away Face Body Mass of Sores-Cuticura
 Cures in Two Weeks.

"My little daughter broke out all over her body with humor and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doc tors, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away. Her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little ones face and body were as clear as a newborn babes. 1 would not be without it again if it cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five cents.

[ ter the front room. take off her hat and place it with chatetlaine bag on the table. Burns slid into the house, looked into the bag. and found a letter there. In it's place he put dummy. This was easy, as there was no ad- dress on the outside of the envelope. But this left Burns in the dark as to whom it was meant for.
 Later in the afternoon Mrs. Chev- ins came out and Burns followed her. She crossed the ferry to New York and went to Courtlandt street. As she was turning into doorway Burns sent one of his men to say to her: Be careful, You are being watched"
 She turned, and left the entryway. Burns immediately entered, and sure enough there was an engraver's office. Of course Burns got the plates and Gen. Frederico Mora and Ricardo de Requisens are serving their terms in prison.

right. At another time 1 thought a disguised in false whiskers and wear ing blue goggles. l never use a dis guise, except change of clothes. But can take one of my men and let you talk with him; then bring him in tomorrow and let you see him and you would not believe him the same one knows meat least all the graft CTS do-so it would be useless to try disguise"
 Burns methods all through the Ruef case have been surprisingly open. When he started out to capture Ruef after his friends, the sheriff and the coroner, had been pretending to search for him in vain for a week, Burns assembled his posse in half a dozen automobiles in front of Heney's office; with Ruef's lawyers offices but half block away. He had ten men with him, but the open way with which he went about the job made the attorneys for the grafter think it must be all a ruse, and no effort was made to follow the party. They went straight to the resort at the Troca- dero in the outskirts of San Francis co, where Burns knew that Ruef was in hiding. Burns had the house sur rounded; then he walked in and sur prised Ruef at dinner. He had his man back at Heney's office within three hours.
 Surprising a Bribe-T Taker.
 Of his present work Burns himself says: This San Francisco case is one of the most interesting I have ever had. Of course municipal graft cases are all somewhat alike. You know who the men are who have got official favors. The first thing to do is to single out the official who you think will accept bribe, and then get at him by inducing him to accept what he thinks is a bribe. Of course your money is marked. Then you surprise him in the act. After that you have him cold. Through him you get at the bribe-givers.
 When I started in on this work in San Francisco I expected to get after each of the supervisors singly, but one of the newspapers got wind of il and published the story how we were working on enc man. That spoil ed things for us, and I had to resort to other methods"
 What Burns had done was to induce the proprietor of a skating rink who had fallen out with Mayor Schmitz to have an ordinance in his favor intro duced ir the board of supervisors. Then he arranged to buy the vote of one of them-Lonergan by name-for $500. Burns was concealed in the room when the marked money was passed. He bounced forth at the psy, cholegical moment when Lonergan was taking the bribe.
 Take the money" said the trap

Every one here in town knows his automobile. But, do you think if he wanted you tonight he would stop a block away and send his machine back? No, sir. He would go straight to your door, Foot, toot, and ring the bell"
 Never Wore Disguise.
 Burns himself has this to say about his work as detectiye:
 People seem to think that there Is something uncanny about detective work. They imagine we go around held out promise of ultimate immu- nity every man jack of them was will ing to squeal.
 It looked easy. All things are easy to those who know how Burns has not been doing detective work for nothing these 20 years.
 Countcrfeiters Caught
 An illustration of careful detective work is Burns method in running down two counterfeiters from Gen. tral America They were Gen. Freder- ico Mora and Ricardo de Requisens. 1 These two men had been making commercials in the United States of the 100 peso notes of Costa Rico. Our government was asked to apprehend the counterfeiters, and Burns was en- trusted with the job. Others had worked at it before, but all Burns had
 
 in burlap in which $3,000,000 of the counterfeit notes had been stuffed for shipment to Costa Rica. On the bur lap was the mark, xxx 1854.
 Starting from this, Burns found that the burlap had been originally used in packing a shipment of overalls from factory in NeWburg. It was the | shipping number In Newburg Burns went over the books of the factory and found that those particular over alls had been shipped to a dry goods store in Long Island City. There they told him that they had recently sold ] a piece of burlap to an old lady by the name of Mrs. Chevins. It did not i look promising.
 But, when Burns learned that Mrs. Chevins had a son-in-law, one Ricar- do de Requisens, who hailed from Cos ta Rica, he thought the trail was get ting warm.
 De Requisens was living with 8 young widow from Pittsburg at the house of his mother, Mrs. Chevins. Burns placed De Requisens and the widow under arrest. Then he sent one of his men to the jail with an al legged message to the effect that if he would produce the plates of the coun- Ierfeit notes the government would abandon his prosecution.
 After the messenger left, De Requis, ems was visited by his mother-in-law, When she left him Burns followed her to her home in Long Island City l Through window he watched her en-

Chamois Skins from Sheep.

Chamois skins in a majority oi cases, according to United States consular report recently issued, are really an oil tanned sheep or lamt skin lining. The supply of skins from the chamois is very limited. Enough could not be obtained in a year to supply the United States for more than a single day, fair average crop from Switzerland being only about 5000 to 5000 skins. The cha mois skin is heavier than the skin oi the sheep or lamb, and much coarser For strength and durability the cha mois is preferable, but for ordinary use and appearance the oil-tanneC sheepskin lining would, in most in stances, be preferred.

San Francisco.-William J. Burns, the United States secret service agent who trapped every member of San francisco's corrupt board of supervis- ors into full confession of their guilt, is called ''the king of detec- tives'
 Although Burns has this interna- tional reputation as detective, it is hard for his intimates to remember always that Burns is 8 detective. Thus Francis J. Heney, the prosecu- tor with whom Burns has worked through the land fraud cases in Ore gon and in the San Francisco poodle cases, finds his associate a source of Gontinual surprise.

Remarkable Typewriting Feats.

A woman in a typewriting contest in Paris recently won victory over more than 150 competitors by writing l6,5O0 words in four hours. A man wrote 1000 words, but he made so many mistakes that he was ruled out. An American woman has surpassed the French woman's record, for in the ordinary course of business she half hours, and made three copies as she went along.-Xouth's Companion.

"OId kinq Cole"

"Old King Cole" the merry mon- arch of the nursery rhyme, has been identified with Cole, Coel, or Coil, a semi-mythical king of Britain, who, according to Robert of Gloucester and other old chroniclers, succeeded As clepiad on the British throne about 225 A. D. He it was who built the walls around the city of Colchester, so named in his honor. Saint Helena is supposed to have been his daugh- ter.

Courts Acoustics Bad.

The acoustic properties of the courtrooms in London's new criminal courts building are so bad, it is said that the other day prisoner who had been sentenced to six months thought he had been sentenced to 12. He said to a warden: One of the peaks gave me six months and another of 'em gave me six months before" Also, besides echoes, "reverberations" are complained of.

THE BANNER.

Messrs VIM. G. Tanfield and Joseph
Crawshaw, Of Minneapolis, arrived here
Monday and spent two days at the Ban
ner with Manager Steele. They are in-
terested in the Banner company and
this is their first visit here They ex-
pressed themselves we'll pleased with
the progress being made on the mill
construction and much surprised at the
development made in the mines, which
they inspected quite thoroughly, going
through nearly all the drifts and up
raises. They also took a trip to Dewey
and visited the Trade Dollar mill.
The upraise shaft north in No. A drift
45O feet from the tunnel was broken
through to No drift on Wednesday.
This shaft is three compartment 5xl2
feet and gives good air for the miners
working in that part of the mine, as
we'll as those pushing No. 4 drift further
north All the way up for the 100 feet,
this shaft has neen in good grade of
ore, thus blocking out enough milling
ore to keep the mill, when started, run
ming an indefinite period.
The work in drifts No. 2 both north
and south from the tunnel shaft, also
show high grade ore identical with that
on No. l, on the original Banner upper
drift.
So much ore is now blocked out that
all the energies of the management are
now directed toward the completion OF
the MILL which it regrets to admit, is
being much retarded by the condition OF
tne-weather aud the difficulty in getting
material in as required. The sheathing
is however now OH the roof of the main
euilding and the iron roofing will be
put on as soon as it arkfves ard the
[. weather will permit, ana the setting o.
the machinery will rfien begin.
The gel tlemen visiting here this week
however, state that they will not b'
disappointed # it is we'll along iu th'
spring before the mill is completed
We may add that part OF the pur
pose OF these two gentlemen visiting
