KISS, AS SCIENCE SEES 1T.
Unromantic Sons of Research Have
Definition Which Takes Away
Half It's Beauty!

What we call a kiss according
to an unromantic SCIENTIST is the
contraction of a muscle known as
the orbicularis oris, which sur
rounds the mouth. The muscle is
first contracted and then relaxed.
the upper lip being at the same
time lifted by the two elevator"
muscles at each corner of the
mouth, while the lower lip is
drawn down by the two CORE
spending "depressor" muscles.
Even more depressing is it to
learn that the origin of the kiss is
probably nothing more poetic
than the lick which the monkey or
some other animal bestows upon
its offspring. kissing, however,
is not necessarily an instinct with
all human beings, for some races
of men never practice it. Among
these are the Maoris of New Yea.
land, the Eskimo, the Papuans
and the Australian "black fel
lows"
1t might be argued from this
that the kiss is ESSENTIALLY a civ
ilized institution. And certainly
the argument would receive sup
port in the fact that the japanese
have lately adopted kissing
among other customs of civiliza
ton.

TELLS HOW TO I'VE LONG.
London Professor Gives Twelve Stat
utes Which Must Be Followed If
Longevity Is Desired.


Prof. Boyd Lanyard, of Lon
don, England's leading author of
works on hygiene, gives - rules
in the New York World, for those
who desire to live a healthy and
long life:
L. Avoid every kind of excess,
especially in eating and drinking.
2. Do not live to eat. Select
those ailments most suitable for
nourishing the body andnot those
likely to impair it.
8. Look upon fresh air as your
best friend. Inhale its life-giving
oxygen as much as possible dur
ing the day, while at night sleep
with the bedroom window open at
the top for a space of at least four
or five inches. Follow this out
even in the depth of winter. 1t is
one of the great secrets of long
life.
4. Be clean both in mind and
body. Cleanliness is next to god
~liness." 1t is a fertilization
against disease.
5. Worry not nor grieve. This
advice may seem but cold philos-
Ophy and to be easier to give than
to follow; nevertheless, l have
known persons Of a worrying dis
position almost entirely to break
themselves of it by a simple eff
fort of the will. Worry kills.
6. Learn to love work and hate
Incidence. The lazy man never
becomes a centenarian.
Z. Have a hobby. A man with a
hobby Will never die of senile &c
cay. He has always something to
occupy either mind or body; there
fore they remain fresh and vigor.
GUS.
s. Take regular exercise in the
open air, but avoid over exertion.
8. Keep regular hours, and in
SUR sufficient sleep.
10. Beware of passion. Remem-
Der that every outbreak shortens
life to a certain degree, while occa-
sionally it is fatal.
II. Have an object in life. a
man who has no purpose to live
for rarely lives long.
II. Seek a good partner in life,
but not too early.

WOMEN WASTE VITAL FORCE
Fair Sex Loses Much Nervous Energy
Through Errors Which Might
Easily Be Avoided.

Women according to a lady
doctor lose much nervous force
through errors which might be
easily avoided.
One notable instance is seen in
their manner of walking. MANY
women have an uneven gait, a
nervous, jerky step that jars the
whole body and keeps most of the
muscles tense and drawn.
A good way of correcting a bad
walk is to carry a waltz tune in
the mind, and keep step to it as
far as possible without actually
dancing. After a time the walk
will become regular and buoyant,
and, the habit once formed, there
is no occasion of continuing the
device of keeping step to a tune.
Women lose much of their vital.
ity in needless excitement and in
misplaced sympathies. Their
emotions are easily drawn upon,
and instead of reserving their
powers for important occasions,
they dissipate them on the small
est provocation. The remedy
here is to practice self-control. It
is one of the finest Of nerve tonics.

ORIGINALITY IS A POWER.
By Fostering This Characteristic One
May Attain Great Things
in Life.

There are a thousand people
who will do faithfully what they
are told to one who can lay out a
programme or execute it; a thou
sand who can only follow to one
who can lead. 1t is a rare thing to
find a young man who has the
power of accomplishment, the
ability to put a thing through with
the force of originality, says Ori-
son SWEET MardeR, in Success.
Whatever your work in life, do
not follow others. Do not imi-
tate. Do not do things just as
everybody else has done them be-
fore, but in new, ingenious ways.
Show the people in your speciality
that presidents do not cut much
of a figure with you, and that you
will make your own programme.
Resolve that, whether you accom-
plish much or little in the world,
it shall be original-your own. Do
not be afraid to assert yourself
in an original way. Originality is
power, life; imitation is death.
DO not be afraid to let yourself
out. You grow by being original,
never by copying; by leading, new,
er by following. Resolve that you
will be a man of ideas, always on
the lookout for improvement.
Think to some purpose. There is
always a place for an original
man.
There is nothing else which will
kill the creative faculty and para
lyze growth more quickly than fol
lowing precedents in everything,
and doing everything in the same
old way. l have known progress.
sive young men to stop growing,
become hopelessly rutty, and lose
all their progressiveness by going
into their fathers stores, fac
tories or places of business, where
everything was done in the same
cld-fashioned way, and prece-
dents were followed in everything.
They lost all expansiveness.
There was no motive for reaching
cut for the new and original, be-
cause their fathers would not
charge; and / have seen these
splendid fellows, who might have
become great and grand men,
shrivel TO pygmies in their ia
TIERS RUS.
How many of our business
houses are weighted down with
machinery, old, antiquated meth
DDS, ponderous bookkeeping, and
out-of-date appliances, when new
devices, or new methods, with
shortcut way of doing things,
would enable them to economic
greatly on room and get along
with less help; but they cling ia
the old with a fatal t%enacity.
This is why so many old con
Germs, which have been strone
and powerful for generations
gradually shrink, shrivel, get into
ruts, and fail, while their newer
competitors, the bright young
men who have gone out from these
houses, do things in a new way
adopt up-tO-date methods, keepul
with the times, and 90 on tC
greater success.
