self is very anxious to continue his
venture The real estate loss in the
fire was nearly covered by insurance
and the leader of the simple life set
tlement can see no reason why the
hall should not be rebuilt at once, the
colonists seeking temporary shelter
at some neighboring house in the
meantime. Sinclair isesaid to be sup
ported in his wishes by Edwin B. Jork-
man, Anna G. Moves and Percy Russell,
his fellow inoorporators for the Home
Colony Company. as the project was
officially styled.
y Many Of the colonists, on the other
hand, are said to feel that they have
had enough of the simple life, as prac-
ticed at Helicon hail. 1t is learned that
the course Of events at the stately man
sion had not run as smoothly as things
Utopian are supposed to move, and it
was pretty broadly intimated by GER
tain of the colonists that in spite of
the servant and other problems, they
HAD about decided to return to their
former manner of life. Conditions were
altogether too crowded and opinions
too divergent to make Of Helicon hall
the quiet, blissful abode its founder
had intended. In fact 1t may be al
most positively asserted that, If the
colony is re-established, many famil-
lar faces will be missing when it moves

Kissing the Feet.
The custom of kissing the feet of
persons whom it was desired to honor
originated with the ancients. The peo-
pie of oriental nations used to kiss the
hands and feet or hens Of the clothes
Of the persons they wished to show
respect for The ancient Egyptians got
this custom from the Assyrians. and
later the Greeks adopted the habit
from the Egyptians. The Romans fol-
lowed the Greeks, and then Pontifex
Maximus had his great toe kissed by
celebrities. The toe Of the sultan OF
Turkey is kissed by subjects of high
rank. Those of more lowly position
are merely allowed to touch the fringe
of his garment to their lips, and the
poorest classes must be content to
make a low obeisance in his presence.
