RUM0R OF JERKS DROPPED
Superintendent C,rricr of Car Service
 Department. Denies it.

It was reported on credible authority yesterday that at least fifteen of the clerks in the car service department of the New Haven road at the yellow building had been informed that their services woule not be needed for an indefinite period commencing with the end of this week. It is understood that good share of these clerks, at least half. are male. The eeason for the action is said to be the failing off of the freight business of the road of late, due to the unsatisfactory financial conditions.
 A F. Currier, the superintendent of the car service department, denied to Journal-Courier representative last evening that the rumor vas net cor rect. He said that only two or three boyse were to be laid off.
 The fact that such an action has been expected for some time gives a certain credence to the report that it might not otherwise have.

CUSTOM OF ORIENTAL NArIoNs. s.
Salute by kissing the Foot Is az Old
az History.

The custom Of kissing the feet Of
persons whom it was desired to honor
originated with the ancients. The peo-
pie Of oriental nationals used to kiss
the hands and feet or hens of the
clothes of the persons they wished to
show respect for.
The ancient Egyptians got this GUS
tom from the Assyrians, and later the
Greeks adopted the habit from the
Egyptians. The Romans followed the
Greeks, and then Pontifex Maximus
had his great toe kissed by celebrities
The story will be remembered of the
old Briton ruler who appeared to do
homage to a Roman monk after the
conquest Of Briton. He was told that
1t was customary to kiss the foot of
the holy father. He hesitated for
moment and then, bending down,
he suddenly seized the monk by the
ankle and, jerking it up to his lips,
toppled the worthy father over back
ward.
The toe Of the sultan OF Turkey Is
kissed by subjects of high rank. Those
Of more lowly position are merely
allowed to touch the fringe of his gar
ment to their lips, and the poorest
classes must be content to make a low
obeisance in his presence.-Illustrated

Life Judged by Failures.

Life is often best judged by it,
failures. What We attempt is fire.
quently much more important than
what We do. The result OF the "a
nous Charge of the Light Brigade
was more glorious than II they had
captured some strong position in
disobedience to the commands of the
officers whom they had sworn to
obey. 1t is not necessary to go a.
far as Stevenson did when he said
that, whatever else we are meant
for, we are not meant to succeed.
But It is necessary to recognize that
we are meant to be true, success or
no success. 1t may be a nobler thing
to lead in vain forlorn hope than to
plant our colors on the very citadel
OF the enemy. Failure to be faithful
10 the only failure.-Sunday School
