Scripture as Code

Altoona, Prussia-The City Bank ot Altoona is the creditor to a large amount of tricky tradeSman in the neighboring city of Hamburg, and has found extreme difficulty in getting re- mittances from him. So it proceeded against him in the usual legal way. He begged for time, but the bank had lost patience and wrote him of its re- solve. As answer the manager re- ceived this laconic telegram: "St. Matthew xviii, 26." There was no bible in the bank and clerk was sent to the nearest pastor to borrow one. It was opened at the place indicated and the manager read: "Lord, have patience with me and I will pay thee all" The manager was so struck with the message that he wired back: "All right; we will wait another month, but if you do not pay then. St. Matthew v., 26." The verse reads: '"rhou shalt by no means come out of prison till thou hast paid the utter most farChing."

Many Kinds of Kisses

Someone who has at least theoreti- cally studied the subject says:
 "In the Middle Ages the monks took the matter in hand and must have studied it with great attention, for they divide the kiss into fifteen kinds. These were the decorouS kiss, the dip lomatic, the spying-to ascertain If a woman had drunk wine-the slave kiss, the kiss infamouS-a church penance the slipper kiss-practiced towards tyrants-the judicial kiss, the feudal kiss, the religious kiss, the academic kiss-on joining brotherhood-the hand kiss, the Judas kiss, the medical kiss-for the purpose of healing some sickness-the kiss of etiquette, and the only true kiss-the kiss of love. This does not include the kiss of peace, which was a greeting exchanged be- tween members of the early church, a symbol of which is still eXtant in the kissing of the pax at high mass"

A Marriage Custom in Russia

The girls take hot bath, dress in their best and line up in the market place.
 The men pass along the line, exam ming the human goods with interest and varying degrees of emotion. The middle-aged and well-to-do customers usually regard the girls with critical and busineSs-like attention, while some of the young fellows exhibit con- siderable baShfulness.
 The careful customer looks all along the line before he begins to pay any attention to individuals. Then he stops before an article that takes his fancy and examines her points thor oughly. He runs his fingers through her hair to see if it is her own, of good quality and we'll kept. He opens her mouth and looks at her teeth. He taps her chest to see if it is firm and solid. He looks carefully at her limbs to see if they are straight and strong and capable of dOlng the extremely hard work he will require of her on his farm.
 Having satisfied himself regarding all these points, he mentions to the girl the price he is willing to pay. This will vary from five roubles (about $2.5O) up to two hundred roubles ($lOO), or even more. It is scarcely neces- sary to say that one does not get a very showy bride for $2.5O.-New York American.

Would Take the Job

The King of Greece, complaining of his poverty, solicited Emperor Will liam's influence to have his civil list increased-that is, to get his salary raised. Greece gives her king an- nually money allowances aggregating S33O,OOO and England, France and Rus sia contribute $6O,OOO, making nearly S4OO,OOO. The royal family is not eX- travagant and the Athens court is modest. So it is difficult to see what the king does with his money. Empe- TOT William is said to have replied to the request by saying that one of his sons would gladly run the Greek mon- archy for half what King George re- ceives and save money.-The World.

Old Age Anti-Toxin

Berlin-Dr. Tranjen, of the Bulga- rian army, is experimenting with his anti-old age serum.
 Dr, Tranjen accepts as true the much discussed theory "that the troub- les of old age are due to slow self poisoning.
 "To forestall the self-poisoning pro- cess" he says, "the individual should be inoculated with the old age anti toxin when young. The serum is gain ed in the usual way out of the bodies of old persons, their blood and juices. From those so inoculated a serum is distilled, and this is inoculated into others, giving them the power to fight old age successfully"
