The Kiss of History.

The ancient Teutons observed the
kiss solely as a symbol of love and
friendship. With them, as with the
Anglo-Saxon race to-day, the firm
handshake was the usual form OF
salutation in public. In medieval
times the kiss became the symbol of
other sentiments. The vassal had to
kiss the sword of his feudal lord. The
"osculum gladij correcti" was the
symbol Of fealty. In courts of justice
the crucifix on the Bible was kissed, q
