ORIGIN OF THE KISS.

It's Earliest Form-The Caress of the
Ancient Indians.
At a recent session of the American
Oriental Society Prof. Hopkins of Yale
read paper on ''The Sniff Kiss in An
cient india" Reduced to Its founda-
ton, the paper was history of the kiss
as we know 1t. 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
'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
cient 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"
'sThe early peoples" declared Prof.
Hopkins, 'knew nothing of the kiss in
any form. Had they known of 1t 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
prophylactic
"The earliest form of the kiss is
that which we know as the sniff kiss.
This is a smelling, usually of the head
The father of a newborn son shifted
his head that his days might be long
and that honors might come to him.
Returning from journey, ne shifted
the heads of his children in the same
MANNER.
Gradually with this sniff kiss there
came also a caress, a touching usually
of the head. Gradually, also, the EN-
dearment came to be applied to others
than children. The rubbing of noses,
which has persisted In some tribes, was
probably an intermediate process In the
evolution.

lustration. there is often foot or two
of space to be divided between the two
sides. AS our readers who have had
experience in dehorning know, an ami
NAL will always choose to pass through
this small opening rather than into the
chute and thereby cause constant ag-
gravation. The chute proper is mount
ed on two heavy timbers which may be
4x4's or 4x6's, while the uprights are
generally AXIS. The stanchion Is made
to open and close and secured in any
way that suits. The convenient part of
the chute is the trough shaped part
marked II. This Is made of two-inch
stuff and securely fastened to bottom
crosspieces After the animal is secur-
ed in the stanchion halter is thrown
over its head and the halter rope Is
passed through the hole just below the
letter I'll. The letter shows contin-
uation of this rope to the pole which is
used as lever to bring the animals
head into position on the trough.
AS soon as this is accomplished the
rope B is thrown over the neck of the
animal and secures the head firmly to
the trough, when the dehorning opera
tion may be performed. AS soon as the
operation Is concluded the animal is
unstanchioned and one of the sides of
the chute is hinged so that 1t may be
opened for the animal to escape from
the chute. after which is closed and
another animal is driven in.-Montreal

the only ones seen in Uncle Sans
realm had been adjuncts to circuses
When the experiment was first at
tempted there were many misgivings
as to what success would attend the
venture. 1t had been the accepted
opinion that the birds would not thrive
anywhere save In the Dark Continent.
This doubt has passed away, for not
single one of the farms is loser,
and some are yielding considerable
profit.
Outside of the first cost of the birds,
ostrich farming is not costly ven
ture. The food bill is not big one,
and farm of a couple of hundred
acres is big enough to take care of as
many birds as any farmer would want
to handle. The herds have to be kept
in Enclosures, for while many of them
become tame, others never lose their
wildness and tendency to pugnacity.
The ostrich in this country is feel
ing so much at home that it is more
than a dream Of the future that nine
tenths of the plumes nodding over the
American w.snan's hat will some day
be the product of her own country.

NO LONGER GOOD FORM.
People In High Society Say Appendi-
citis Is Vulgar Disease.


citis Is Vulgar Disease.
The fashionable valetudinarian is
threatened with distinct bereave-
ment. Appendicitis has been declared
to be bad form, and those who wish to
preserve true social eminence must
on no account suffer from it. There
was a time when only the educated suf-
fered from appendicitis, because only
the educated knew the anatomical posi-
tion of the appendix, but in these days
Of vulgar equality even the washer
woman knows where to put her finger
when she is asked where the pain Is.
AS a result the supergilded must find
a new disease into whose domain the
great unwashed have not yet found
their way.
An eastern scribe has made inquiries
from prominent physicians and the
worst rumors are confirmed. One great
authority admits that but few opera
tions are now necessary, and that 1--WE
are glad to send our patients from the
surgical to the medical ward. where
bot lamentations and milk diet are
prescribed"
A well-known nursing sister said
frankly that appendicitis has become
questionable, and she added unkindly
that fashions in the medical world vary
as much as in the showrooms of styl-
ish dressmaker. A well-known surgeon
admitted that appendicitis has follow
ed the example of all fashionable crazes
and is dying natural death, and for
no other reason than that the laundry
lady has dared to initiate the duchess
Needless to say. I am not alluding
to genuine cases Of the disease, but be-
cause the fashionable Illness has been
pronounced questionable the large
contingent Of hysterical patients have
turned their attention to the creation
of some new complaint"

A Dehorninr Chute

While there are a great many cattle
that lose their horns by dehorning
fluids and preparations of this kind in
calfhood, there are great many that
come to maturity with an ugly pair Of
horns that create great deal of trou-
bic in the feed yard. We have received
quite number of inquiries of late re-
questing a plan for a good dehorning
chute. Accordingly we have here re-
produced most convenient and salts
factory chute.
One of the good points about this
chute is the hinged doors on the rear
end which make it possible to adjust
the chute to any sized barn door.
Where the width of the rear end of the
chute Is satisfactory and cannot be ad.
justed to the door as shown in the H.

The Lima Bean.

No vegetable is more popular than
the Lima bean, and 1t Is suitable for
all classes Of persons, as well as for
all manner of dishes The difficulty
with Lima beans is the poles, which
are sometimes expensive; but IL strings
are used, as is done for the climbing
flowers, the vines will grow and thrive
equally as well. All that is necessary
is to keep them off the ground, and It Is
not necessary TO pole them IL inconyen-

seryiceable at that season, as they may
then be soaked and used for the same
purposes as when they are green. The

The Family Cow.

Families that keep only one COW
should endeayor to have the best ami.
NAL that can be procured. More labor
Is required to care for a single COW
proportionately, than for a herd. A
cow for the family should give a large
flow Of milk for at least ten months OF
the year, and the milk should contain
not less than A per cent Of butter fat
as cream Is one Of the essentials. II
Is better to have a COW that gives even
richer milk, but the majority of faml-
ly cows are selected without regard to
merits in that respect. 1t is difficult
to rear the calves In such cases, hence
in purchasing the family COW 1t will
be profitable to pay a high price for a
superior animal.

Points In SPRAYING.

r. A. Emerson, of the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station, In a recent bulletin,
gives the following recommendations
FOR this years spraying based on the
results secured last year.
/. Spray with Bordeaux mixture
after the cluster buds open. but before
the individual flower buds open.
2. Spray with Bordeaux and some
poison, such as arsenates of lead, paris
green, etc., as soon as possible after
the blossoms fall, and at any rate be-
fore the calyx lobes of the apple close
3. Spray with Bordeaux and poison
three or four weeks after the flowers
fall.
A. Spray with arsenate Of lead
about July 20.
O. Spray with arsenate of lead
about August 10.
Use paris green at the rate of one
fourth to one-thlrd pound per barrel
Of Bordeaux. Use arsenate of lead at
the rate Of two pounds per barrel of
Bordeaux or water.
Make Bordeaux as follows: Blue
stone, four pounds; quicklime, six
pounds; water, fifty gallons.
Slake the lime, dissolve the blue
stone, dilute each with half the re-
quired quantity Of water, and mix
thoroughly.
Use good nozzles and maintain a
high pressure as uniformly as possible
In order to distribute the liquid In a
Inist-like spray. Take care to reach
all parts of the trees and to avoid
drenching any part. Careless spraying
should not be tolerated.

The Small Garden.

. The small garden Is the one that
gives the owner pleasure. Probably
the majority of those who cultivate
small gardens make no profit. but ac-
tually suffer loss, when the crops are
compared with the prices received and
the cost Of seeds, fertilizers and labor
But there is considerable pleasure de-
rived, the value of which cannot be
estimated. No matter how small the
plot owned or rented may be, the one
who can bestow portion of his time
to the cultivation of crops the coming
spring should do so. There are some
things grown in garden that cannot
easily be procured In market, when the
freshness and quality are considered.
No one can buy tomatoes in market
equal to those taken from the vines
and placed In fresh condition on the
table. If the plot is very fertile, and
Is not equal to more than half an acre.
the amount of produce that may be
grown thereon will supply whole fam
ily from early spring until late in the

beets, carrots, parsnips and early cab

cabbage, two crops can be grown on

Wagon BOX Device.

There are various ways Of removing
wagon box from the trucks, and one
of/these Is described In Iowa Home,

feet and Is set several feet In the
ground, so that 1t will be firm enough
in its position to stand the strain which
is required of it. The platform on
which the rear end of the wagon box
rests when it is to be raised from the
wagon may be made any height so as
to suit the height of the trucks. Two
guy wires should be attached to the

more ready market, because there are
sufficient number to attract purchas.

RIGHT OF WAY
FOR
KOOLAU RAILWAY

Acting Governor MOtt-Smith this
morning approved the reservation
and transfer to the KoOIau railway
of Il right of way through IIauuln.
The road already runs through that
district, but the land for the right
of way has never before been trans
lcrrcd.
The railroad had the usual con-
tract with the Superintendent Of
Public Works, under Section 73 Of
the Organic Act, for right of way
over Government lands. The rcser-
vatiOn Is to make this available. The
trip of land transferred is 10 feet
wide. The road Is now built from
Knhuku through Laie to Kahann.
