WOMAN Invented
THE MODERN KISS
WAS SNIFF OR SMELL OF
THE HEAD.

THE HEAD.
A special dispatch to the New Yorl
Herald from Philadelphia says:
Professor Hopkins. of Yale, read
paper on 1.-THE Sniff Kiss in Ancien
India" before the meeting of tn
American Oriental Society
Professor Hopkins traced the his
tory of the kill from it's birth, an(
proved that the earliest peoples anc
earliest times knew it not. That there
might be DO mistake be labelled the
kiss of to day ''the genuine kiss" and
"the perfect kiss."
The genuine kiss, Professor Hopkins
said, was invented by woman. 1T
description is given in the epic of an
cient India, which treats of the science
of love.
sShe laid her mouth to nv mouth,
recites the poet, "and made noise
which gave me pleasure.
w ith that discovery grew the fash
ion which has since known no abate-
ment, and observers even say the fash
ion is spreading. Additions to the
epic in later years described variations
in the natural kiss, all based upon that
given by the ''she' of the first nara
tor.
"The early peoples, declared Profes'
sor Hopkins, knew nothing of the
kiss in any form. Had ttey 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 snch pleas ure could not have
been forgotten.
"The earliest form of the kiss is
that which we know as the sniff kiss. ;
This is smelling. usually of the head
The father of a new born shifted his
head that his days might be long and
that honor might come to him. Re
tnrning from a journey, be shifted the
beads of his children in the same man
ner.
"GraduaIly. with this sniff kiss
there came also a caress, a touching,
usually, of the head. Gradually also
the endearment came to be applied to
others than children. The rubbing of
noses. which was persisted in by some
tribes, was probably an intermediate
process in the evolution,
"With the development of the gen
ulne kiss the sniff kiss disappeared
never to reappear. It had served its
purpose and was soon forgotten.
In the discussion which followed the
Rev. Mr.. Chandler, of Madura, India,
and Professor Haupt, of Johns Hopkins
University, called attention to the
fact that the root of the the Hindoo
word for ''kiss' is the same as that
for the word ''smell. Professor Hop
kins declared that in ancient India
the form of entreaty was not kiss me-
but ''smell me.n

A STRANGE WELL.
FRESH WATER AND SULPHUR WATER
FLOW FROM THE SAME BED.

FRESH WATER AND SULPHUR WATER
FLOW FROM THE SAME BED.
A flowing we'll from which both fresh
and sulphur waters are obtained-one
of the wonders of Logansport, Indi-
ana, has recently been visited by a
member of the U. s. Geological Sur
vey, who is making systematic study
of Indiana we'll waters.
The We'll is in Riverside Park and
was drilled by the city two years sgo.
An eight inch pipe was sunk to depth
of eighty feet, and inside OF it a five
inch casing was placed. Fresh water
from a bed of limestone comes up be-
tween the two pipes. and water which
tastes and smells strongly of hydrogen
sulphide gas comes up through the
five-inch pipe from lower stratum IN
the limestone The sulphur water
flows with a volume of about gallon
minute from the drinking fountain,
while the fresh water flows with
somewhat smaller volume from a pipe
twenty feet away. Thus the visitor to
the park can have his choice of drinks.
Samples of both waters were collected
by the geologist and shipped to the
laboratory of the survey at Washing
ton, D. c., for analysis.
The only similar we'll known is ST.
u3ted about fifteen miles north of
Cincinnati, 0 but the Ohio well is

Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico-Mining men
In this section are recalling a story Of CON
siderable interest to the effect that about
two and a half years ago some prospectors
attempted to draw attention to an unknown
property in the mountains near Hermosillo,
but met with little success. The location
at that time was somewhat remote and
difficult Of access, and experienced mining
men have too many disappeintments at the
best in investigating the claims Of over
enthusiastic prospectors, Finally, however,
one of the best posted mining men in the
state reluctantly consented to make the
trip to the property. now known as the
Lluyia de Cobre, but it was remarked that
he and his friends displayed extraordinary
haste and anxiety in at once acquiring title
to the property. 1t is stated that their
Judgment at that time has since been fully
justified by development operations at the
camp The workings Of the mine are now
down to the 4o0-faot level and high grade
ores are being placed upon the dumps pre-
paratory to shipment.

In Effect Today

Goes the agreement made by the Uni
versal Postal Convention, signed at
Rome, Italy May 26, 1906. II reduc-
es the letter rate to foreign countries
more than one-half. We have been
compelled to pay five cents for each
half ounce; now we shall pay the
same amount for the first ounce or
fraction thereof, and three cents tor
each additional ounce. Hence five
cents will displace ten cents postage,
eight cents where we paid twenty,
and six-ounce manuscript will be
carried for twenty cents
More important still is very bene-
fetal innovation. 1t has been vex-
ing question how to pay for return
postage when making inquiries. To
cause trouble and expense at the
same time is very 6isagreeable, but
how escape it since American stamps
are valueless abroad? We may now,
under the new agreement, purchase
a return coupon, that is, for six cents
we can buy certificate which will be
accepted by all countries of the postal
union as the price for local five-cent
stamp. These return coupons may
be used as remittances for small

chasing an international postal order

The uninitiated, like your correspond

one in the crowd who knows where
to go and how to make the points
More than once we found the sug

On the other hand, one finds many
unselfish, genial spirits; men ready
to answer any civil question. and who
really become interested in explain

And this applies to no special class
or order, as we. received this courtesy
from the humblest negro to the court

incident when young fellow, hearing
us asking for a street car to a certain
point, before the police could answer,
touched us on the sleeve and with a
rush said: Here it is; this is your

bunch until we arrived at our des-
