The Hand Kiss.

The kiss of the hand Is undoubtedly
ancient and therefore Is not derived
from that OF the lips. but probably the
converse is true. The hand kiss is
loosely asserted to be developed from
servile obelsa noes in which the earth.

ed. the hand aud cheek succeeding In
order of time aud approach to equality
Of rank. But 1t is doubtful If that
was the actual order. and II is certain
that AT the time when hand kissing
began there were less numerous grada-
tions Of rank than ut later stage.
kissing of the hands between men
Is mentioned In the Old Testament;
also by Homer. Pliny and Lucian. The
kiss was applied reverentially to sacred
objects, such as statues Of the gods, as
Is shown by ancient works of art. and
also among numerous etymologies by
that of the Latin word "adoro." aud II
was also metaphorically applied by
the inferior or worshiper kissing his
own hand and throwing the. salute to
the snDerlor or statue.

NAMES CHARGES
AGAINST SCH|vELy
ExtOrtiOn and Petty Graft Attributed
to Insurance Commissioner
Quiz Board i'm Spokane.

SPOKANE, June What J. H.
Schively, state insurance commission
err facetiously referred to as his Slid
ing SCALE of fees charged newly Or
ganized companies will be the princi-
pal fact against him in the impeach-
ment proceedings at the special ses-
sion of the legislature, according to
George A. Lee, assistant attorney gen.
eral, who has been working with the
investigating committee.
ION Schively's system of charging
insurance companies as much as they
would give will be based the charges
of extortion to be made against him.
said Mr.. Lee. "A fee of $35 is re-
quired by the state from companies
seeking admission to do business, but
Schively charged anywhere from 49,
to $685., the latter rate having been
wrung from a company at least once
of this he would tn n over to the state
but the legal fee, half of the rest being
diverted to his own purse. He divided
the surplus with Secretary of State
Nichols who was in on the deal
$4,000 in Extortion Fees.

work demanded. The Herald has al
ready outlined the proceedings
Interesting features of the adua-

the respective schools of the gifts of

school a rest room, fully and nicely
furnished, was the gift of the class
Rug, lounge, pillows, cushions, mottos

all such things, much of the furniture
being the work of the pupils, were
presented. At Summit View there
was presented a vase and a jardinier

teacher, and he as an assistant dur
ing her absence.

1--WE have heard from as out of 500
insurance companies with whom
Schively did business, and from these
we find that he collected $4,000 in ex-
tortionate fees. Some would not pay
all he asked. and from these he took
what he could get. Correspondence,
cancelled checks and other evidence
will be turned over to Governor Hay
by the investigating committee as
proof of Schively's extortion.
Charges Petty Graft, Too.
In other respects we believe him
to be guilty of reprehensible practices.
He failed to make annual reports on
the business done by insurance COM
panies, although required by law to
do so and to look into the conditions
of these organizations.
Then he charged each company 81
for brief certification to be affixed
to the annual statements required to
be published. This is a petty graft,
but is none the less a reprehensible
practice.

the actions of the legislative commit

time ago, but of late l have lost track

LONDON. JUNE 6.-Another link
in the worlds chain of railways is
shortly to be forged, and the master
who will direct operations is Sir John
Jackson, head of the firm of Messrs
Sir John Jackson & Sons, who have
obtained the contract. When it is
stated that this railway-which is to

of it will add one more triumph to

of engineering achievements.
Sir John Jackson did not. like

Big Contract on Hand.
At present his firm is engaged in
three great enterprises in widely sep
arated corners of the globe: One at
Davenport, where they are complet-
ing the admiralty docks, a contract
running into $2O,OO0,OOO, one at
Simonstown, South Africa, where
they are engaged on a similar lob
and the third at Singapore, where
they are building a harbor. But Sir
John reckons that the contract which
he has just taken up is going to be
the hardest he has yet tackled.
The distance between africa and La
Paz is about $50 miles as the crow
flies, but the actual length of the line
will be 300 miles. The first thirty
miles from africa is mostly desert and
at one part of the line water for
drinking purposes will have to be car
ried many miles. The part of the
Andes to be crossed is still unsurvev-
ed, and the population consists most

PORTRAIT IS
DEEP MYSTERY
SCIENTISTS ARE BAFFltD
Wcarcr of Spectacles Finds Her
Photograph on Ono of Lenses
She Had just Shed Tears.

LONDON, June 6.-Quite uncon-
taken portrait of herself without the
use of camera. The facts are re-
markable, and the interesting phen-
omenon will probably arouse much
curiosity in Photographic circles.
What apparently happened was
this: The woman, wearing an ordin-
airy pair of spectacles, was reading
the other evening about the hard lot
of Mr.. Milton Wellings, the composer,
whose famous song, Some Day." is
fraught in her own case with many
painful memories.
Behind her on the table was a
small paraffin lamp, which threw a
light over her right shoulder AS
she read, a tear stood in each eye.
Almost simultaneously the lens in the
line of the lamplight became blur
red. She thereupon removed her
spectacles-to find the blur an ex-
cellent snapshot of herself in profile.
Mr.. Wellings' song Some Day.
has always been a great favorite of
mine" said the woman to reporter
yesterday 1.-TWO years ago l happen
ed to sing it in the presence of a
young couple. The young man showed
such an admiration for the song that
unpleasantness arose, and the result
has been an unhappy one.
When the Tears Come.
Il was sitting, as I generally do
when I read, with the lamplight be-
hind me. My right side was turned
slightly towards the light. During
my reading 1 paused to think of those
words in Some Day:
Are you dead or do you live?
"a tear came into each eye. Sud
emily the right lens became blurred:
the sight was obscured. 1 thought
my eyes must be tired, and, with the
idea of resting them, 1 took off my
spectacles
Then l CHANGED to look at the
right lens. There was something upon
it. The tear, l am positive, had not
touched it; it was quite dry. What was
this blur?
Profile Portrait in White.
Il held my spectacles up to the
light. I was amazed. There on the
right lens I could see quite distinctly
profile portrait of myself in white,
showing my head and shoulders The
coil of my hair, the pattern of my
blouse, the lace collar, even a bit of
my brooch, were all recogniza BILE.
THE portrait is in just the same
condition now as it was when / first
saw it, How it got there l am at a
loss to know. / have worn the glas-
SEES very long time-they were orig
inally my mother's-but nothing of
the sort has ever happened before"
Can't Explain Photograph.
The spectacles have been submitted
to well known oculist for examina-
ton. He was unable, however, to
express any definite opinion as to the
process by which the picture appear
ed on the right lens. He suggested
that tears may have trickled down the
woman's check on the lens, and that
in wiping it she had unconsciously
caused the formation now upon it.
In regard to this suggestion the
lady declares emphatically that no
tears trickled down her cheek, and
that she made no attempt to wipe
the lens. Moreover, when she is
wearing the spectacles there is an ap-
preciable space between her cheek
and the lower rim of the lens, so that
it could not catch any falling tears.
What is the explanation?

W0MAN'S WORK WAS
ALTOGETHER TOO HARD
Had to Milk Herd of COws-Carcd

OMAHA, Neb., June 7.-Simply be-
cause her husband insisted upon kiss
sing her before meals. after and be-
tween meals, and also because he
wanted her to milk the cows, Mrs.
Anna e. Howell, aged 20 years. be-
lieves is good and sufficient cause for
divorce from her husband, E. r.
Howell, aged SO. At the present time
Mrs. Howell is proprietress of a
fashionable boarding house in the
swell residence portion of Omaha.
However, the rupture in the domes-
tic relations of the HoweIls reached
the critical point when they were liv-
ing on farm and conducting a dairy
just outside the limits of South ON
aha. According to the petition filed
in court by Mrs. Howell and verified
those We're strenuous days for her,
for it was work, work, and never

One WOman's Long Day.
The plaintiff in the case alleges that
she would arise at o'clock in the
morning, milk eighteen cows prepare
the milk for the wagon, turn the cows
into the pasture, get them up in the
evening, do all the housework, care
for three small children, and prepare
the meals.
She says the husband drove the
wagon and sold the milk and that

Hardships for Two Years.
The wife adds that the round of
milking continued daily for two years
and that while she perhaps was not
affectionate to the kissing point she
loved her husband and always was
a true and faithful wife.
She adds that when the husband
was sick she took care of him and
that when the frost was on the corn
she went out into the field and gath
