GERMAN DEFINITION OF A KISS.

Monks of Middle Ages Divided =
Kiss Into Fifteen Varieties.
The dictionary informs the breath
less seeker after truth that q kiss is
"a form OF salutation expressed by the
contact, with pressure, of the lips
which definition, though clear and con-
else. seems to leave something to be
desired. ,
Jonathan Swift testify remarks:
Lord! / wonder what fool it was that
first invented kissing''-and many more
are the d~isgruntled speeches which have
been made by men and women ever
earth.
1t is probable that eyory mothers
son Of us-and daughter, TOBIAS some
scot of an idea what a kiss is, in spite
of the reticence OF the language Of Sol
ons, but it is doubtful If anyone ever
clothed the idea more appropriately
than the lover who in 1870 wrote the
tract is taken. 1t is translated from
the German.
What is a kiss? A kiss is, az it
We're, a seal expressing our sincere at
tachment; the pledge of our future
union, a dumb but at the anne time
audible, language OF q living heart; q
present, which at the same time 1t is

of an ardent attachment on an ivory

for a Iove-wonnded heart a sweet bite
of the lip an affectionate pinch which
Is eaten with scarlet spoons; a sweet
meat which does not satisfy hunger;
a fruit which is planted and gath
cred at the same time; the quickest
exchange of questions n answers Of
two lovers the fourth degree Of love"
The monks of the middle ages d.

be read in many ways. High-nown and
a little sentimental. but non-committing,
would be the ordinary persons verdict
on it. But il would not be classed like
that by Bride, a romantic girl already
disposed to view the writer with mere
favor han he deserved.
"He has no right to write TO her so,@
Moyra declared, and while she sat with
the book and the letter still on her kaee
the Rector entered in search of her. She
was worried and perplexcd, and almost
without intention she told her trouble to
him..
The Rector was inclined to "~pooh-pooh"
the whole matter. Bertram was a senti-
mental lad who was naturally attracted
by Brides uncommon beauty. 1t was not
at all likely that Bride would take such
little courtesies and attentions seriously.
But it Is likely she does so already"
Moyra answered irritably. "She hasn't
a scrap of ambition in her, and, if she
gets the idea that she is in love with
him, she will never lose it. You know
what she is! Her affections are slow,
but they are lasting. And surely you
don't want her TO marry Bertram Char
teris, even IL he means anything, which
l doubt exceedingly. He is incapable of
more than a Airtation," she added bitterly.
"Of course | don't want him to marry
Bride. / look to her to make the match
Of the family. I shall write to Lady
Sarah as soon as the holidays are over.
But am afraid, Moyra dearest, you are
a little prsjudiced against young Char
ferris. You should let bygones be by
Cones" I;
The tears sprang to Moyra's eyes.
ooh, father" she said, do you think
there is any thought of myself in the
matter? You misjudge me cruelty il you
do" and the Rector protested vigorously
that he had never intended to imply h a
any selfish motive influenced her words.
Christmas is essentially the children's
festival. To those who nave eaten of the
tree Of knowledge, who have much to re-
member as well as to hope, the sigh OF
regrets for the years that are past comes
reader to the lips than the jest for the
future, yet Angus Robertson enjoyed the
whole day thoroughly.
The church was very crowded, and the
Rectory party had to separate. Aileen
saw that the Fentens occupied the bench
behind her own and went off to the tran
sept, leaving Robertson to take her place
with Moyra.
1t was the first time he had sat with
her. He listened TO her quiet voice con-
Tossing humbly her many sins and trans
gressicns-dear saint, there were few in
that church who had a lighter confession
to make. none who made it more sin
cerely--he saw the grave, sweet eyes
homes of silent prayer"-upraised, he
listened to the sweet rise and fall of her
gentle voice as she joined in the old
hymns, and he knew that voice and eyes
belonged to the woman he loved. He
realized then that slowly, almost I'M
knowingly, she had found her way into
a heart whose affections were slow to
move yet tenacious to hold. He had wan
dered the wide world over, and in this
slight, quiet girl, with no striking gifts
of mind or beauty, he had found the
woman he most desired. A happy Christ
mas What else could such a festival
be to him when it had brought such
knowledge?

VOICE OF THE GOOD SPIRIT.

By Rev. A. W Snyder.
Hear what the spirit saith.-Rev. 2: %.
An old Indian once asked of a white
man enough tobacco to fill his pipe. The
kindly white man put his hand in his
pocket and took out a good handful.
The next day the old Indian came to
the man and gave him a 25-cent piece,
saying: '"This is yours. I found it in
the tobacco that you gave me yester-
day"
The man said 'Why didn't you keep
it?"
The old Indian replied: "Oh, that's
what the bad Indian said"
"Why, what do you mean?" said the
white man. 4
The Indian said: "Why it's this way
with me. 1 am not one Indian; I am
two Indians. One is good and the 9TH
err bad; one a good spirit and the other
a bad spirit. All last night these two
kept me awake. The good Indian in
me said, Return the man his money ;
it is not yours; give it back and the
bad Indian in me said, No, no; keep
it, keep it. They troubled me SO I
couldn't sleep, and at last l said, I
will not keep it; 1 will not have it,
And then / felt good, for the Great
Spirit said, That is good; that is
right"
Now hat old Indian may not have
been consciously a Christian, but he
was one in spirit and in truth, Tor a
many as are led by the spirit of God,
thew are the sons of God" In us all
there are the two spirits. One is the
Good Spirit, the other is a pad spirit,
land these,'' says st. Paul, are con-
trary the one to the other"
The appeal of Jesus Christ is ever to
| the good Indian that is in US. He Is
always saying, See who o are;
know your own father; you are Gods
child: be like Him." sFollow Me-"
NV sheep zeal my voice and / know
them and they follow Me and I give
them eternal life and they shall never
perish, neither shall any pluck them
out of My hand"
These are His words and His apos-
| tles we're true to his teaching in say
ing: Live to the spirit n We shall
not fulfill the lusts of the flesh and
Hear what the spirit SAITH
The sum of the matter is this: Give
the good Indian that is in thee a
chance.
Hear what the spirit saith" and
Heed His call to newness of life"

The claim made some tire ago that
steadiness might be impaired to ships at
sea in heavy weather by means Of a gyro-
scope was received with some in~credulity
by practical mariners. Recent dispatch
= from London, however, indicate that
the matter has been put to a Thorough
test, with most gratifying results. The
experiments were made in the North Sea,
off Tynemouth, under the direction of DR..
Schlick, the inventor. The vessel used
was boat of the torpedo class, the See
bar, 116 feet long. The water during
the three days of the test was such as to
cause considerable rolling of vessels of
even greater dimensions. The effect Of
the gyroscope was most remarkable.
While the vessel heaved up and down
with the waves, the deck remained almost
horizontal. 1t is said that arrangements
are being made to install the apparatus
IN several commercial lines.

Groans contribute nothing to growth.
The greatest good is that which leads
us to know the greatness Of true good
ness.
Many a man has found the real
riches of life by looking into the faces
of the poor.
There is no virtue in the elation over
finding a fault that makes you forget
to fix it.
The blatant liar may do no more
harm han he who speaks truth with
bated breath.
TO open your heart to your brother
is the best way to lift your heart to
your Father.
You are sure to be disappointed in
the inventory of our blessings if you
count only your gains.
1t is not always the preacher who
talks the most poetry who is doing
most to make life a poem.
1t is better to put warm clothes on

garments for many.
The people whose sensibilities are all
on top of the skin always are pushing

CHAPTER yIr.-(Continued.)

1t was d novelty to Moyra to have to
Obey a law, but she submitted meekly to
che gentle-handed giant who was evident
" determined to have his own way. Pri-
lvateIy she thought it was rather pleasant
10 obey now and ngnin, and she certainly
enjoyed the conversation that went on
around her, sinking in a very frank and
friendly fashion each time she met Angus
grave eyes. She almost forgot the worry
that a certain brown paper parcel lying
"a the hall table at home had caused her.
They had coffee and sandwiches, ac-
cording to a time-honored custom, In the
vestry, where a large party assembled,
Of which Terry was the bright and shin
ing light. But when they returned to
the church the workers began to drop of,
and then Moyra insisted upon helping.
No one approved Terry's work upon the
choir stalls except himself, and she was
bnsy there, with Mr.. Robertson near
enough to break stubborn pieces Of holly
and drive In necessary nails.
The church clock struck the half-hour
after two as Aileen emerged from the
porch. She shivered a little and drew
her furs closer around her as she walked
quickly up the hill. She had not gone
TAR before she met Mrs. Charteris, q stout,
phlegmatic lady, a widow with little IN
terest In life beyond herself and her fat,
wheezy pug. As in duty bound, Aileen
Atopped to exchange the s~ensonable greet

Laughing ones that yet had a little con-
fusion lurking in their depths.
