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 low obeisance in his presence.

New York, Feb. 49,. Theodore r.

Judgment the time has come to be fair

There is no doubt that in the build

been done which though legally right

If any government, whether nation

HAPPINESS.
The Differences Between tho Sexes IA
This Important State.

This Important State.
E One source of women's happiness is
TO be found, we think, in their love Of
detail. They enjoy every detail OF So
rial life. They love the minutiae OF
their work. They do not love 1t as
man loves his, for the sake Of an end.
They look close at what they are do
Ing, and they do not look forward.
They take pleasure in their children
rs they are. A defect, even though it
pc serious one, destroys their pleas
nre in them far less than 1t destroys
that of man. They are not constant

that defect will mean in the future.

debacle of heaven and earth. For wo-
men time goes little slower. They
take pleasure in each Jewel Of that
mosaic which makes up happiness and
are not fcetted because the pattern is
not complete. OF this quality they
have, no doubt, the inevitable defects
much brilliance, little grasp and a
tendency to frivolity. They are apt to
fritter away their lives and minds on
little things. They become engrossed
with the details of play as well as the
details of work. Men no doubt have
more opportunities of keen pleasure
than women have, but these opportuni-
ties are short lived. The happiness of

The difference between the sexes in
this particular might, we believe, be
thus summed up: A man. is happy

SHELLS THAT SWIM.
These Peculiar Fish Are Mostly Con-
fined to TROPICAL Seas

These Peculiar Fish Are Mostly Con-
fined to Tropical Seas.
The idea of shells being found any
where else except upon the seabeach
or in river beds is a little startling.
Yet the naturalist who pursues his
work from ship in midocean can and
does collect shells by the thousand at
every dip Of his net or bucket.
Swimming shellfish are mostly con-
fined to tropical seas The most ia
miliar is the nautilus, which is, how
ever, not a shellfsh at all, but near
relation of the .cuttlefish; also it is
only seen on the surface at a certain
time of the year. The real ocean she'll
fish are mostly very small. In the In
dian ocean they may be seen by mill
lions. One which bears the appalling
odd popularity of coming to the sur
face at sharp every evening. An
other, the Cleodora tridentata, rises
at z.
Frail as these tiny shellish are, no
storm ever Injuries them. They all
possess the peculiar power of being
able at will to sink few feet below
the surface of the sea, and there they
remain when gales blow, perfectly
safe, and rise again when the weather
improves.
The largest of these ocean swim
mers is about three inches in length.
Almost all are most brilliant In color
and their shells far Trailer and more
glossy than those found upon the sea-
beach.

has had a long conference with A.
Russell Peabody, one of his counsel,
regarding the reports that District At
torney Jerome was paving the way to
apply for commission in lunacy Mr..
Peabody said ThaW expressed a wish
that his counsel should make every
possible effort to prevent the appoint
ment of commission. This, Mr.. Pea
body, said would be done.
Counsel for the defense" said Mr.
Peabody, will fight in every way pos
sible any attempt that the district at
torney may make for the appointment
of such commission
Dr.. Patton May Testify.
The names of two new witnesses
who are likely to be called to testify
should the trial be carried to con-
clusion, have been made public One
is DR.. Francis L. Patton, formerly pres
ident of Princeton university and now
president of Princeton theological
seminary; the other is DR.. Frank P.
Mcclure, the Tombs physician. The
former will appear for the defense,
while Mcclure, it is said, will appear
for the prosecution. Both are ex-
pected to give important testimony re-
garding the prisoners sanity about
the time Of the tragedy.
Through Dr. Patton the defense
hopes to get in evidence letter writ
ten him by the prisoner soon otter his
arrest. 1t is the contention that if
this letter is admitted in evidence it
will have a great bearing on showing
the condition of ThaN's mind right
after his arrest in regard to the kill
ing of Stanford White. Thaw's law
yels have refused to make public this
letter. 1t was written from the Tombs
in the period when Thaw, according
to the testimony of DR.. Britton D. Ev-
ans, was insane. Lawyer Delmas
feels that the letter will be COM
petent testimony to corroborate Dr.
Evans testimony that Thaw was not
of sound mind in August, about two
months after the shooting 1t is re-
called that DR.. Patton called on Thaw
in the Tombs in the summer.
Mcclure Has Long Observed Thaw.
Through DR.. Mcguire, it is stated,
the district attorney expects to lay
the foundation for the opinion of alien
lists that, Thaw was sane on the night
OF June rs, when he killed Stan
ford White. The Tombs physician is
said to be of the Onini0n that Thaw
when he killed White, knew the quail
ity of the act and knew the distinction
between right and wrong, but his value
to the state lies in the long observa-
ton he has had of Thaw and the data
he has given the district attorney.
