Even the conductor recognized that

Economy CARRIED TOO FAN.
Old Mans Thrift That Led Him Into
Ridiculous Action.

President J. G. Schurman of Cornell
was discussing elective college
courses. OF which in the freshman and
sophomore years. he disapproves.
"A freshman of 16 or IT, said Pres
ident Schurman. lis too young to
choose for himself the courses best

enough. 1t will make mistakes.
I'm its immaturity, its proneness to
error, it is like the mind of an old
man in my native Freetown. He,
though old. was mentally undeveloped,
and saw nothing wrong or ridiculous
in piece of economy that he put in
practice in the cemetery.
THE old man had lost four wives,
and desired to erect for each a head
stone. with an inscription commemora-
tive of her wifely virtues.
But inscriptions. he found. were
very expensive. He economical in
this way:
He had the Christian name Of each
wife cut on small stone above her
grave-"Emma." Mary" Hester"
Edith" Under each name a hand
pointed to large stone in the CEN
ter of the lot, and under each hand
were the words:

Saiutation in Russia.

In the remote ages people saluted
the moon. sun and stars by kissing the
hand. 1t was the custom OF the earliest
Christian bishops to give their hand to
be kissed by the ministers who served
at the altar. The custom soon de-
clined. however, as a religious cere-
mony, but it is still continued as a
court ceremonial. the kissing of the
hand Of the sovereign being regarded
as mark Of the highest favor in most
Of the kingdoms Of Christendom, says
the New York Tribune.
1t has long been matter of history
that the beautiful and fascinating
duchess OF Devonshire bribed with a
kiss many reluctant voter in the
famous Westminster election, and the
equally beautiful and bewitching

ments had been thinned by cruel re-
verses. turned recruiting sergeant and,

There was time when it was the GUS

hypocrisy was satirized by John Wes.

the kaaba. The Romish priest on
Palm Sunday kisses the palm. There
is curious tradition about the origin
of kissing the toe of the sovereign
pontitf. 1t is said that one of the Leos
substituted the toe for the right hand
as the object of salute because his own
right hand had been mutilated by mis-
adventure and he was too vain to en-
pose the stump. In Iceland kissing is
severely repressed by the civil laws,
and the consent of the woman to the
salutation does not release the male
transgressor from the liability to
heavy punishment. In Russia the
Easter salutation is kiss. Each men,

how all their fond anticipations had
