Nearly everone knows it's wrongto
lie, but, unfortunately, that's not al
ways the reason people stick to the
truth the average human being tells
the truth to avoid being caught in a
lie. We always tell you the truth
about the kind of pictures we are
running, not because of any angels
wings we're sprouting, and not for
fear of being caught in lie either !;
here's the reason--we run the best
pictures in the world, and the bigges,
lie we could concoct about their good
qualities would not be strong enough
to touch the truth about them, SO you
see we're good because we can't

the fact that they belong to one great

Monarchs greet one another with kisses
when having visits Of state. This is
matter Of ceremony and more as an in
dication of their equality of rank and OF
the brotherhood of sovereigns than as
any token of affection. Nicholas III ac-
corded an embrace to President faure
when the latter visited St Petersburg
but when King Peter of Servia visited
the court Of Russia he had TO be content
with a mere handshake on the part OF
the Car, the Withholding OF the custom

Monarchs prior to the Reformation
were required TO kiss the Pope's toe, and

OSCILLATIONS WHICH SURVIVE.

There are certain forms Of ceremonial
kiss. however. which Edward VII did not
attempt TO abolish and which still con-
tinue. Thus, archbishops and bishops OF
the Church Of England, ambassadors and
ministers plenipotentiary, CABINET ON
GERS and great dignitaries of court and
of state kiss the Kings hand at the
audience at which he confers upon them
their appointment and the fact that they
have kissed hands on appointment is
ALWAYS recorded in the official Court
Circular" and in The London Gazette.
Similar homage is paid to Emperor
William, to the venerable Francis Jo-
seph of Austria. to the car of Russia
and 20 many of the minor rulers or Ger
many. Indeed. one of the most plctu-
resoue incidents Of the ceremony Of the
accession TO the throne Of Emperor Will
lam was when, at the close of his frst
speech from the throne, old Prince BIS
,,arck and the still more aged Field
Marshal Count Moltke both stepped for
uard and bowed low to kiss the hand OF
the Young monarch Niolii my '

infancy.
In conclusion it is gratifying 20 reflect

A VICEROY'S PRIVILEGE.

Until the accession Of King Edward
not only each peerless but every daugh-
ter of a peer was entitled TO ceremo-
NAL kiss from the sovereign on presenta-
ton at court and at Dublin Castle the
Viceroy, as Lord Lieutenant OF the
monarch, was required 10 accord a SIM
liar sautation 10 every woman pre-
scented, no matter whether young or
aged. married or single, homely or beau
tiful Fortunately. the vast majority OF
the daughters of Erin were extremely at
tractive, so that the Lord Lieutenant
seldom complained. Indeed, the late
Duke of Abercorn was charged with
having caused his aides-de-camp in at
tendance to present for a second time
any particularly fascinating debutante,
in order that he might have an oppor-
tunity of kissing her anew.
King Edward, however, abolished all
this. He justly took the ground that.
since he himself had sacrificed the mo-
narchical prerogative of kissing debu-
tantes at court, there was no reason
whatsoever why the Viceroy Of Ireland
should continue to enjoy it as his rep
resentative.
The Lord Mayor of London ranks
within the city limits as an earl on the
occasion Of a visit in state by the SOW
ereien, and on this ground the Lady
Mayoress was wont TO demand a KISS
from the sovereign as a peerless of the
realm for the time being. George de-
clined TO accord this salutation on the
occasion Of his first visit TO the CITY OF
London after his coronation, ignoring the
cheek OF the extremely mature, portly
and homely Lady Mayoress and so
angry was she at this affront that, turn
ing her back upon the monarch, she
withdrew with her maids Of honor, re-
fusing to return. The subsequent un-
pleasant relations between the King and
the City are asserted to have in a great
measure originated with this fndignlty 10
the better half of the chief magistrate.
