FOR PERFECTION IN KISSING
Magazine Writer Gives One Pointer
Worth Remembering.

Why OSCILLATION has received so lit
tie attention from wise men we can
not tell, says the North American Re
view 1t may be that thinking and
Kissing go not well together; if so.
few of us would require long time to
choose between them. Or. possibly.
the subject has seemed to require too
delicate handling; or it may have
seemed trifiing. We neither know nor
care. The most valuable practical
lesson to be derived from experience
and now set down is that closing of
the eyes is essential to perfection in
kissing. Aside from this hint to those
OF congenial spirit. we would merely
direct the attention Of those who may
decry the importance of the topic to
the influence of the charm in retain
ing hold upon one worth keeping. and
rendering less frequent and hazardous
those absences which are only too
likely TO make the heart grow fonder
of some one else.

BIBLE MANY CENTURIES OLD.
valuable Manuscript Treasured in the
Cottonian Library.

In the Cottonian library in England
is an old manuscript copy of a part of
the Bible in Latin. This was used at
the coronation of English sovereigns
800 years before the stone of desti-
ny was brought from Scone to West
minister by Edward l. In other words
the use of this Bible for the purpose
in question dated back to the year
1000. The Bible is a quarto of 217
leaves, containing the four Gospels.
and seems, from the style of the writ
ing and illuminations, which are very
beautiful, TO have been made about
the end of the ninth century. The Tes-
lament escaped destruction in the fire
at Ashburnham House in 1871, of
which it bears evidence on its crum-
pied leaves and ruined margins. There
is some evidence that the son of Ed.
ward the Elder, Athelstan the Glori.
Gus, who was King of the West Sax.
ons from 925 to $40, owned this Bible
and presented it to the church OF
Dover.

UseIessness of KilIina Authors.

There is really no use killing an
author to prevent the country pro-
ducing others, because the man with
a book in him is like a bird that must
lay an egg. We might start a new Or
ganization to discover people likely
to write books and strangle them be-
fore they find a publisher. but even
that would fail, because it is not pos
sible to tell who can write a success
full book until 1t is written. The
literary faculty arises in the most I'M
expected ways, and even dogma can
not anticipate it's uncertainties.-Sa

hOhanmedsn MOsQue-
According to one OF the tenets Of the
Mohammedan religion. 1t is q sin to
make picture Of any living thing. The
elaborate decorations OF the palaces
aud mosques OF the east are almost ex-
elusively made up OF ingeniousIy inter
laced geometric designs, arabesques or
flowers. intermixed with sentences Of
the Koran.
There Is belief among Mussulmans
that at the day OF Judgment Allah will
demand that the artist who has made
the image OF living thing shall endow
that Image with life and that, failing to
do this. the artist will be sent to perdi-
ton for his sin
A gentleman who visited a mosque IN
Algiers found that the tiles with which
the building is decorated, which are
very old and beautiful. are adorned
with flights Of birds. He expressed sur
prise at this and asked II the command
against such representation were a
modern edict-
"Oh. no." answered the pious AIge-
rian to whom he addressed the uues-
ton These are not pictures of living
birds"
But they are painted as If flying
across the tiles." the other said in some
establishment.
Yes" the Mussulman replied. '.but
DO you not see that about the neck Of
each there is a fine black line? That is
to show that the artist painted only
dead birds. and the command of the
Koran is not violated"

Game DuCk.

Game duck OF all sorts should be
roasted quickly in hot oven and are
considered best when very rare. The
blood should always follow the knife
when carving the breast OF a duck. 1t
Is not possible to limit the roasting of
duck TO any number OF minutes; il
depends entirely upon the temperature
OF the oven. If a game duck is being
roasted for men. It should be much
rarer than when IT is to be eaten by
women.

THIRD DAY.

| The features of the third day in the
Mississippi legislature were the trans.
mission to each house of the final mes.
sage of Gov. Yardaman, which was read
int full in the house, the reading being
interrupted by the approach of the din
nef hour, and the session of the joint
ass embly for the election of librarian,
which consumed practically all Of the
afternoon.
Ih the senate, after Secretary Rob
ersdn had concluded the reading Of about
a fourth of the message, the further
reading was dispensed with. The mes.
sage was pronounced by those who fol-
lowed the reading as one of the most
complete and comprehensive that has
come from any governor OF the state,
and as more than one Of the legislators
declared, most complete and satisfac.
tory accounting for successful stew
ardship.
But the feature of the day, from
human interest viewpoint, was the joint
assembly at $3.50 for the election of
state librarian, contest which has ex-
cited interest not only at the capital,
but all over the state. The hour for
this joint meeting was set for $3.50,
and by pm. the galleries and side
aisles were crowded with men and wo.
men, while many of the gallant and
chivalrous young men Of the assembly
had vacated their seats for the accom-.

that it was his constitutional require.
ment to start that body on the road TO

anything else was undertaken prayer
would be appropriate, and requested
Bishop Charles b. Galloway to lead in
an invocation. All standing, this dis.
tinguishsd divine offered up sincere
and impressively phrased invocation to
the God of our fathers, the giver OF
all good, and the guide and director of
men, for grace, strength and under
standing to do his viii, that they might
know their duty to home and land, and,
knowing it, perform IT,"
The next matter of procedure was the
swearing in and handing the certificates
of election to the senators.elect, who
were called up in fours by Acting Sec.
retary Murry, and were given the oath
by the presiding officer. This consumed
some little time, as the oath is rather
long, but was accomplished smoothly
