HOW IT WORKED IN ROME.


HOW 1T WORKED IN ROME.
When kissing became the rage In
ancient Rome the Significance attach
ing to It was modified. IL became GUS
tomary for the early Christians TO
kiss each other before the communion
service. as an indication of brother
hood.
By custom the kiss became gradua-
ally a useful instrument, and II be-
came the prerogative OF anyone 10
Kiss any woman at sight. The theory
was that as the use OF wine and IN
toxicating beverages was prohibited
women by law, by kissing woman IL
was possible to ascertain IL she had
broken the law and imbibed from the
lowing bowl. 1t was great in those
DAYS to be a policeman in Rome. But
somehow ugly women were never sus'
pected OF having taken nip, and the
result was that all those naughty Ro-
mans stood around on the corners
waiting for pretty women to pass mat
they might sample their breath and
their lips, too This may or may not
be the origin of the corner loafer.
OF course, this promiscuous kissing
became a great evil and a public
nuisance, especially as crowds would
gather around good-looking women
and tie up traffic. The Emperor Au-
gustus, as we'll as Tiberius. little
later, found II necessary to enact laws
prohibiting kissing on the streets, and
after the ordinances were enforced the
kiss was used in smaller doses, much
as 1t Is used today.
But the Romans were the apostles

The distinction OF introducing the
kiss into Spain and Portugal belongs

of Europe. but they did not introduce
the kiss into England. as popularity
supposed by some. That historical
event will become a part of these
chronicles in another chapter.
The Adventures Of the Kiss in Greece

Greeks, whether they imported 1t from

found the kiss a welcome means o
communication, and 1t became pbpu

was much like that of the Romans
The custom was abused. and a Law
was finally enacted prohibiting kissinl

 Every time the city wishes to move rubbish and refuse from the streets or haul away a car cass it is necessary to hire team and wagon which costs the city from $500 to $4.00 a day. At this rate even hiring a team oc casionally, the city could soon own good team and keep it on the streets constantly. The fact that a team is needed constantly is only too evident. Our physi- clans tell us in no uncertain terms of the disease breeding refuse that is dangerous to the public welfare. The eye of the stranger is caught by it and the city certainly does not profit thereby As a matter of invest ment we believe the city should invest in team, and the satis- faction of knowing that the health of the community is so safe guarded is worth a great deal more.

4 Royal Feast.

Right royalty was the Sunday School Class No ? entertained with seven course dinner last
 night at the magnificent home of the teacher, Hon H. B. Mckenzie. The twenty-one happy guests
 arrived on time, a mixture of glad young hearts and those with
 the frosts of several winters. At the appointed hour the dining room doors were thrown open and a scene of rare beauty met the eye, table decorated by some magic hand, as it were, with feathery streams of aspara- gus, bands of red ribbon, holly berries etc, in the midst of which stood a miniature Xmas tree gar landed with ropes of gold and hung with tiny Xmas bells around which sat dainty little cupids, ready with the arched bow to pierce some young heart and bring it down a victim to their artful cunning.
 To say that the host and host ess and Master Horace were at their best only feebly expresses their charm of manner and hos pitality of soul. After several remarks of admiration for the aesthetic side of the entertain ment, each guest searched for his and her place at the festal board which consisted of the usual attractive menu cards with nal e inscribed. It is needless to say that the menu was all that could please the epicurean taste, and amid laughter and jest we feel safe in saying that justice was fully done the occasion. After all too brief stay after retiring to the parlors the guests bade adieu to this hospitable home with many sincere wish for merry Xmas and glad New Year, with gratitude for large heart, and large service.

SPENCER's GHF,EAT INTELLECT
Philosopher Laid Broad ard Deep the
Foundations Of the Theory Of
Evolution.

1t is matter OF regret, writer
says that Spencer prefaced his scien-
tific philosophy of the Cosmos with
his famous theory of the unknowable.
In the recognition of an unknown
power inscrutable to the human intel
tellecr Spencer fancied he had found
the basis of reconciliation between
science and religion. Science was to
take as its province the known. and
religion the province of the unknow-
able. The proposed terms resembled
those of a husband with his wife as
this basis of domestic harmony, that
he should take the inside of the house
and she the outside. Had Spencer
been in closer touch with the religious
that such a theory of reconciliation
would simply distract public attention
from his attempt to apply the key Of
evolution to the secrets of the mate
rial universe. In this later days he
felt that his system had been preju-
diced by his theory of the unknow-
able, and in conversation he used to
emphasize the view that his philoso-
ply of the Cosmos was quite distinct
from his theological opinions, and
should be judged on it's own merits.
Making due allowance for defects
rising out of the personal equation,
the fact remains that Herbert Spencer
was one of the great creative intel
lects of the nineteenth century. In
many particulars his congratulations
will be modified by advancing knowl-
edge, but this at least must be claimed
for him, that he laid broad and deep
the foundations of the theory of evolu-
ton Among the sceptered immortals
Herbert Spencer holds high rank.
