COMING OF AGE IN AFRICA.
Initiating the Young as FulI-FIedged
Members of a Tribe.

All the peoples in the world have
been given to marking the coming OF
age of their young folk with some kind
of ceremonial In central Africa this is
quite serious business. A few of the
customs in use among certain tribes
are horrible; but in the main they
show kind of good sense.
Among the Yao people. the principal
figure in all the initiation or coming
of age mysteries is a man called the
RATHER of the tails. He makes play with
a bunch of wildcat tails, wildcats be-
ing creatures which play a leading
part in the witch doctors medicines.
This official communicates ali kinds
of knowledge to the young ideas of his
tribe during the couple of months de-
voted to their initiation ceremonies.
He lectures on the customs of the
tribe and on morals. He teaches un-
selfishness, for instance, and among
these tribes the man who refuses to
share his food with another is ieered
at as "uninitiated."

DON'T KISS THE BABIES
Oscillation Dangerous to the Very
Young and the Very old, Says
Famous French Physician.

gain the youthful lose. Statisticians
point out that length of life is greatest
among schoolmasters, or those whose
life-work is carried on among young
people. The same soulless statisticians
hold that the reason why that fair
creature of rare bloom and extra
domiciliary heart-burnings, known as
''the old mans darling" is a common
enough phenomenon in human society,
must be attributed, not so much to
profound love on the part of the adj
mfrer, as to the keen interest he may
feel of prolonging his own life-span.
AS if to back up the learned DR..
Martinez, Lady Violet Greville gives
to the world a woman's ideas on kiss
ing, writing as follows in the London
Graphic:
There is an idea abroad that kiss
ing is injurious Mothers are urged
not to kiss their babies, lovers not to
kiss each other, and parents to refrain
from embracing their children. A
great deal of kissing might be very
properly dispensed with. The formal
peck at the parental cheek morning
and evening, the ELUSIVE embrace of
female friends ready to destroy each
others character with jealousy and
spite, the foreign habit of bearded
men clasped in each others arms, the
false kisses of the wheedling wife, or
the specious smack on the cheek of
the husband who is arranging a soil
tary holiday, all these might be sup
pressed; kissing, too, is an art and
not all it's votaries have studied the
rules.
Some kisses are horrible. There is
the slobbery kiss, the Indifferent kiss,
which wounds ones armour propre to
the quick, the salacious kiss, the hur-
ried kiss, usually administered be-
tween couples at railway station, the
brutal kiss, the clumsy kiss. But for
lovers, for mothers, what can replace
the kiss? The reverent, inspired, pas
sionate, tender kiss, the expression of
all that is noble and best in human
nature? The kiss of forgiveness, the
kiss of pity, the kiss of charity, which
elevates and restores self-respect, who
would part with these? The kiss is,
perhaps, the most perfect expression
of love, but it should be kept for the
intimate, the ecstatic, the supreme
moments of life, and never, never,
given in public"

An INTELLIGENT Child.

A small boy was playing with the
scissors, and his kindly old grand
mother chided him.
"You mustn't play with the scissors
dear. 1 know little boy like you who
was playing with pair of scissors
just like that pair, and he put them in
his eye and put his eye out, and he
could never see anything after that. "

problem is to separate or isolate them

This nature is constantly doing, and
we have only to accelerate or short
circuit her processes in order to re-
store Immediately these combustible
substances to their elemental state
and have them ready to reunite at our
bidding in the phenomenon of combus-
ton. Burning, or combustion, is sim
ply the manifestation of the ac-
ton of chemical affinity. We burn the
elemental substances, hydrogen and
oxygen, by bringing them together I'M

alton of the affinity which causes them
to unite in a new chemical compound
which when condensed is water. We
separate these elements by Subiecting
their compound, water, to conditions
which overcome or neutraliZe this af-

entirely unnecessary and that there
is right within our grasp an unlimited
supply of fuel substance available

self-producing- will be a revolu-

nous French physician, DR.. Martinez,
who writes of promiscuous baby-kiss-
ing in his Archives de Medicine des
Enfants"
To kiss a woman may be to show
evidence of soul or soulfulness, sug-
gests the doctor, hut to indulge in
promiscuous kissing in Babylon is to
provide the evil gods who reign in
Tartarus with an easy method of in
ficting baleful ills upon the sons of
men. For, says the heartless medico,
the little round-eyed mite is nothing
less than a sink of contagion. And
whenever you kiss one you are liable

He was a beggar, with old. worn
clothes. unwashed face, unkempt hair
and unbrushed shoes. He waded up
to the counter of bank in Lombard
street and told. between his sobs,
tears, groans and signs, how his stom-

sympathetic clerk drew forth new
shining tAree-penny bit, which he laid
kindly and gently into the beggar's
quivering and blackened hand.
Nov, my poor friend, what do you
propose to do with that money!" Sc
riously inquired the generous clerk.
The beggar looked down at his
soiled and tattered garments. He
scanned his benefactor curiously for a
moment, and then, in tremulous tone,

During these ceremonies the boys
receive new names, and if you want
to insult them past all forgiveness you
have merely to address them by their
childhood names after they have
passed through the initiation cere
monies.
The unyago, or period of initiation
with girls, lasts only one month, and
includes ali kinds of practical teach
ing as to agriculture and household
work, the grinding of corn and the
like. Many of the ceremonies in use
are purely symbolical; as when the
girls are made to support house roof,
to indicate that they are to be the
pillars of their future homes. But
there is also much practical teach
ing, including a full and biooGSur-

combination with oxygen is 10000
heat units per pound. The heating
value of the best coal is about A.
900 heat units per pound. Heat units

But what is the secret of the pro-

Capt. Warren was asked.
"The secret of the production of
hydrogen for fuel lies in the success
full manipulation of that mysterious
force in nature called chemical affin-
ity of elements-in other words, the
isolation of the hydrogen under Ger.

through combustion with the oxygen
