Kissing the Pope's Toe

THE custom of kissing the feet of persons
L whom it was desired to honor originated
with the ancients. The people 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
followed the Greeks, and then Pontifex Maxi
nus had his great toe kissed by celebrities
The story will be remembered of the old
Briton ruler who appeared to do homage to a
Roman monk after the conquest of Brlton
He was told that it was customary to KISS the
foot of the holy father. He hesitated for a
moment and then, bending down. he suddenly
seized the monk by the ankle and. jerking it
up to his lips, toppled the worthy father over
backward.
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 low obeisance
in his presence.

DIR. TALKS OF FOOD Pres. of Board of Health,

''What shall I eat?" is the daily in- quiry the physician is met with. I do not hesitate to say that in my judge ment, a large percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected food and inn properly prepared food. My personal experience with the fully-cooked food, known as Grape e-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of its merits.
 From overwork, I suffered several years with malnurition, palpitation of the heart and loss of sleep. Last sum- mer I was led to experiment personally with the new food which I used in conjunction with good rich cow's milk Tn short time after I commenced it's use, the disagreeable symptoms disap- peared, my hearts action became steady and normal, the functions of the stomach were properly carried out and again slept as soundly and as well as in my youth.
 T look upon Grape-Nuts as a per- feet food, and no one can gainsay but that 1t has most prominent place in a rational scientific system of feeding Any one who uses this food will soon be convinced of the soundless of the principle upon which it is manufactur- ed and may thereby know the facts as to it's true worth.

OBITUARY NOTES.
Mrs. Margaret S. Wells.

c
 Mrs. Margaret Wells, mother of ex- Commodore William s. Wells, died at the home of her son, 63 Dwight street, very suddenly, Saturday evening. All day Saturday Mrs. Wells appeared In her usual good health, despite the fact that she was in the ighty-eighth year of her age, until early Saturday even | ing, when she was suddenly stricken with stroke of apoplexy. Dr. Hotch- kiss was summoned, but Mrs. Wells died inside of half an hour. l Mrs. Wells maiden name was Miss Margaret stietler, and she was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, eighty | eight years ago. When twenty years old she married Umstead Wells, and the couple lived very happily together uptil the death of MT. Wells, about twenty years ago. At the time of his death he was in the wholesale coal business in New York.
 The couple had six children, three of whom are now William, who lives i'll this city; James, whose home is in Allendale, N. J., and David, ot Brooklyn, N. Y.
 Ex-Commodore Wells, of this city, was the commander-in-ch chief of the Ma val Veterans association of the United States from 1890 to 1892.
 l After the death of Mrs. Wells hus- band she made her home with her son in Brooklyn until three years ago, when she came here to live with her son Will liam.
 Mrs. Wells was sweet, earnest, Christian woman whose entire life was one of nobility of thought, purpose and action. Charitable and kind in all her acts, she made friends with all whom she came in contact.
 Since she had been in this city Mrs Wells had attended St. Johns P. F. church, and Rev. MT. Means, of that church, offlciated at the funeral ser vices last evening at ex-Commodore Wells home. Tomorrow morning MT Wells will take the body of his mother on the 8 o'clock train to Pottstown Pa, where she will be buried in the family lot beside her husband.

VETERANS GRAVE MARKER.
Used. for Part of n Sidewalk, in Meriden.

A soldiers grave stone has been dis
 covered in the rear of a Mill street tenement house, Meriden. and the par
 ties who have seen 1t are anxious to learn whether or not the stone was stolen from a Civil war veterans grave. The marker Is now being used for a stepping stone from a back yard into the house. The Meriden Records attention was called to the matter Wednesday and the informants sug- gested that the discovery be given
 publicity so that in case the stone was stolen from grave of an honored vet eran soldier there may be an un-
 known grave located in one of the cemeteries and the marker now used for stone step may be the means of recovering a grave that has not been decorated by Merriam post members
 on Memorial day.
 The grave stone bears the name of
 Fred E. Quinn, Company A. Fifteenth Connecticut Volunteers. It is in fair ly good condition and may have been erected in one of the Catholic cenae-
 teries by relatives of the deceased or by the state.
 Colonel l.. Upham was colonel of the
 Fifteenth Connecticut, after Colonel Dexter R. Wright resigned. Many Mer- iden men served in this command and a large humber of them are survivors
 The name of Quinn appears in three places in the roster of Company A. According to the records, Fred E. Quinn was a recruit attached to the company,
