ORIGIN OF THE KISS.
It's Earliest Form-The Caress of the
Ancient Indians.

It's Earliest Form-The Caress of the
| Ancient Indians.
At recent session of the American
Oriental Society Prof. Hopkins of Yale
read a paper on THE Sniff Kiss in An
Client india" Reduced to its founda-
ton, the paper was history Of the kiss
as we know It. The learned Orientalist
traced it from its birth and proved that
the earliest peoples and earliest times
knew it not. That there might be no
mistake he labelled the kiss of to-day
1.-The genuine kiss" and 1.-The perfect
kiss"
Oddly enough, he finds that the genu-
inc kiss was invented by woman. The
description is given in the epic of an
clent India which treats of the science
of love.
"She laid her mouth on my mouth"
recites the poet land made a noise
which gave me pleasure"
THE early peoples" declared Prof.
Hopkins, knew nothing of the kiss In
any form. Had they known of it they
would have told something of 1t in the
mass of records that has come down to
us, for surely an act which CONVEYS
such pleasure could not have been for
gotten.
Even to this day there are races |
that do not kiss. The Mongolians and
certain of the tribes in central Asia
do not osculate, and the Esquimaux, we
are told, employ the kiss only as a

Grant Mouser Of Ohio and Washington
Gardner of Michigan were the chief

TARGET PRACTICE IN NAVY.
Modern and Economical system Has
brought Splendid Results.

Contrary TO popular belief, target
practice In the navy is not now the ex-
pense TO the government it was a few
years ago, Under the present dispensa-
tion 1t has been reduced to cost that
is mere bagatelle to what 1t formerly
was and its value has at the same time
been enhanced In the matter of eff
cheney. This is due very largely to the
Intelligent and persistent effort of Lieu
tenant Commander William f. Slmms,
who is now attached to the bureau of
navigation In Washington and has
charge of target practice.
While naval attache of the American
embassy in Paris Commander Slmms
worked out the system which supplant-
ed the old and expensive plan in the
navy. He received his first hint from
Sir Percy Scott OF the British navy
while they were both serving In Asiatic
waters.
The system is as simple as 1t Is In
expensive and efficient. 1t consists
merely in the use of targets attached to
the booms or yard arms of warshlps, so
arranged that they take on the swels
and undulatlng movements OF the
water, thus giving the marksman a per-
feet reproduction of the movements Of
a ship at distance. At these targets
the big guns of the ship, every shot OF
which costs a pile OF money, are not
fired. Instead small fire arm Is at
tached to the big gun exactly parallel
with the huge weapon and this small
piece is used by the marksman.
The gun Is set at varying ranges so
as TO accustom the gunners to the ac-
tual conditions that prevail when firing
ut an enemy, and by this means points
ire scored and accurate records of them
ire kept In order that grades of indl-
-idual craftsmanship may be preserved.
Under the new system the marksman-
hip OF our navy has been brought up
o the highest standard in the world

With Spain 1t was lower than that OF

FACTS OF THE FAN.

The Pope lately presented to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania a pair of the
splendid fans carried before him in an
Easter procession. The fan has a dis
tlnct ceremonial position in many coun-
tries. 1t plays a more dignified part
than in this land, where its presence
suggests heat, flies and mosquitoes. In
tie Eastern world it is an implement
of tradition. A Sanskrit poem attrib-
utes the origin of the fan to King
Mas daughter, who having charge of
the sacred fire on which her fathers
glory and success depended, famed it
lest the flame should expire.
A Chinese legend makes Lang-sin.
daughter of great mandarin, respon-
slble for the fan. At a feast of lam

removed her mask, a daring thing for
chinese maiden to do, and waved il
rapidly to and fro, near enough to her
lace to conceal her features. Her la
u'es quickly followed her example, and
the fan was evolved.
Chlnese and japanese fan etiquette
is elaborate. In Japan there are fans
Tor the court, for the kitchen. for dane

dies playpretty fan games. One of them
is performed while the fair owners are

then and then only can one be said to
be really hungry. Another paternal
recommendation which the professor
makes Is the old advice of our grand
mothers, that we should always leave
the table with a slight sensation OF
hunger not entirely appeased
1t appears that we lose every Nay

grams of muscular flesh or analogous
tissue. An lnhabitant of Paris, for
instance, recuperates on the average
to the extent of 102 or 1o3 grams a
day.
As a guide to what we should eat
the professor tells US that the best
meat is that of animals fattened on
pasture land-beef and mutton. Then
comes poultry and pork fed on pro,
