Old Time kjssind Customs.

The English distaste for kissing is a
thing of comparatively recent growth
In the seventeenth century our habits
were the wonder Of the foreigner
Nicolaus de Bethlen, Hungarian. who
visited these shores in 1858. relates
that my brother and I behaved very
rudely on one occasion. being unaware
that it was the custom in that country
to kiss the corner of the mouth Of la
dies instead Of shaking hands. as we
do in Hungary. We were invited to
dine at the house Of a gentleman Of
high rank and found his wife and three
daughters. one Of them married. ready
to receive us. We kissed the girls, but
not the married ladies. and thereby
greatly offended the latter. Duval
apologized for our blunder and told
us that when saluting we must always
kiss the senior lady first and leave the
girls to the last" -London Express.

PROOF OF GENTILlTY.
Sleeves That Hid tho, Hands Showed
the Wearers Didn't Work.

The practice observed among Span,
ish hidalgos Of allowing the finger
nails to grow into claws was to dem
onstrate that they had never done any
manual work. The same custom ex
lists among the Chinese for the same
reason
Among the Romans the wearing OF
long sleeves, which came down over
the hand. was the fashion in artistic
cratic circles. This advertised to the
world that the wearer did not enga &c
in any labor and freedom from EN-.
ployment was the condition of re-
Spectability.
English boots and shoes have been
designed more or less for the same
purpose as that of the Chinese, who
bind their women's feet in proof OF
their gentility. AS early as the time
of William Rufus peaked toed boots
and Shoes had their points made like
scorpions tail, and a courtier nam
ed Robert stuffed his out with tow
and caused them to curl round in the
form Of a rams horn. a fashion which
took nightly among the mobiles. It
is plain that the purpose Of this fash
ion was to show that the privileged
wearer was not dependent on any kind
Of labor or fleetness Of foot for his
daily bread.
The practice Of wearing tight fitting
boots and shoes is an old one. fol-

ARCHAEOLOGY.
The Aneients Were Unconscious Aids
to the Modern Science,

The Ancients Were Unconscious Aids
to the Modern Science.
Arthur L. rockingham, writing in
the North American Review on "Where
Archaeology Comes H." notes that,
though it is customary to consider the
science as a modern study. dating
from the middle of the eighteenth CEN
tury, there has been at all times a
| certain amount of unconscious archae-
ology.' Illustrating this, he says:
"When the late Babylonian King
Nabonidus, about $50 B. c., stated that
he was restoring in the original style
temple built more than 1000 years
before him by King Naramsin he
was, or thought he was, doing the
work Of an archaeological scholar
When the Roman priests. under the
Antoine emperors. continued to use in
their sacrifices only the primitive
black earthen cups that had been in
use for nearly thousand years. since
before the founding of Rome. they
were practical archaeologists.
when the Emperor Augustus in
sisted on having copies of the best
works Of Greek sculpture Of different
ages and styles made in the exact
manner of the originals. including ar
chaic works. he was obliging his sculp-
tors to be archaeologists. The EN-
peror Claudius. who wrote on antiqui-
ties and used archaicisms, was lam
pooned by scurrilous Romans as
pedantic archaeologist, and Hadrian.

forts at resurrecting ancient Hellas.

meme and Alexandrian styles Of sculp-

AN ENGLISH PENSI0NER.

Superannuated at Birth and Drew the
Stipend All His Life.
The wife of an English cabinet min
lister had promised to stand godmother
to an infant and. calling on the parents
a day or two previous to the christen-
ing, expressed her regret that her hus-
band had nothing left at his disposal
Of any Importance and that the only
thing he could do for her godson was
to put his name on the pension list as
a superannuated general postman.
The offer was accepted. The pension
was regularly paid to the parents dur
ing the minority of their son and to
him afterward as long as he lived. He
thrived in the world, became an alder
man and attained a considerable age
often declaring that he had more pleas
ure in pocketing the few pounds he
drew half yearly from this source than
he derived from the receipt of any 9th
er portion of his income
He died a few days after one pay
ment was due, and one of his executors
came to town to announce his decease
and to receive the money. On asking
the clerk who paid him if it was neces-
sary to produce a certificate of the
death he was answered.:
"Oh, no, not in the least. I will take
your word for it. My father paid his
pension as long as he lived, and have
paid it myself for the last thirty years.
am quite sure that the old gentleman
must be dead by this time"

FEASTED ON LOBSTER,

tie DID st on the Sly and Repeated
Sorely Afterward.
Some years ago the government
transplanted about 10000 eastern lob
sters in Monterey bay. Before ship
ping wooden pegs had been put in
their claws SO that they couldn't fight
with each other en- route to this coast.
Before transplantng those in charge
Neglected to remove the wooden pegs,
with the result that the Holsters all
died.
The government accordingly sent an
other shipment and this time saw that
the pegs had been removed before
planting the lobsters
Some time thereafter the Albatross
steamed into Monterey bay, under the
command Of the United States fish
commission, looking for results Of the
transplanting. Lobster traps were set
at different points, but nary lobster
was captured. The government then
posted notices offering $1,000 for a
specimen Of the transplanted Holsters.
Two years passed. A Santa Cruz
fisherman. out in his little smack.
caught one of the Holsters. Then,
thinking that there was law against
catching them. he sneaked the lobster
to his home, cooked it, ate it and de-
stroyed all evidence. Later he divulg-
ed the secret to some other fishermen.
Il caught lobster sixteen inches
long," he said

DOG CATCHER USES AIRsHIP
Hopes With AeropIane to Trap Stray
CANNES That Have Become Wary
Has Amassed Fortune.

Montclair, N david Steinfeld,
who is official dog in ten towns
in Essex, Union and Norris counties
and who has amassed small fortune
from his work, announces that he has
awarded a contract for a small aero.
plane and a large net for use in his
work. He adds that he will try 1t on
the stray and unlicensed dogs in Mont
clair first.
Steinfeld has been hunting dogs so
long In the three counties that the AMI
mails recognize him half mile away
and rush for shelter long before he
gets within striking distance.
He has reprinted his wagon, put on
false wigs and whiskers and resorted
to other expedients in his efforts to
fool the unlicensed dogs, but without
avail. Now he says he will try the
aeroplane, soar few feet above the
ground, load his machine with fresh
beef bones, and then, after all the dogs
assemble beneath his machine, drop
the net over them and alight and sep.
arate the licensed from the unlicensed
dogs.

FLYING TESTS FOB BERLIN
Airships Will Start and End Summer
Competition at German Capital
Limited to Germans.

Berlin.-A great flying competition,
limited to German aviators, will take
place early in the summer. The fight
will be over a circuitous course be-
ginning and ending in Berlin and will
include Magdeburg, Hamburg, Bremen,
Dusseldorf and Dessau. The decision
to hold the contest is the result of the
failure of plans for joint competi-
ton by French and German flyers.
caused by the objections Of the chau-
vinists.
Withdrawal Of the French aViators
aroused much bitterness In Germany
and the officials of the Aviation Engi-
neers' Verein, who are in charge Of
the preparations, are on their mettle
to make the independent competition
a brilliant success. The contest has
unique interest from the fact that
special attention will be paid to the
military phase Of aviation. 1t is pro-
posed to offer. a special prize for ma
chimes carrying two passengers, SO as
to admit Of their taking military OBJ
seryations.
