SMELL INSTEAD OF KISSING
Peculiar Way In Which Many Of the
Monaols Pet Their Little
Children.

Many Of the Mongols pet their chill
dren by smelling their heads instead
Of kissing them. In the Philippine
islands the sense Of smell is so devel-
oped that many OF the people by mere
ly smiling a handkerchief can detect
its owner. Lovers when separated
often give each other handkerchiefs,
and In their. absence they keep each
other In mind by inhaling the scent
Certain races still salute each other by
smelling. They apply the nose and
mouth to a persons cheek, and In this
way draw long breath. They do not
say Give me a kiss" but Let me
smell you
