Most people would know what was
meant by the term bob when speak

to say Offhand what cob" is or was
in similar connection? 1t was used
in polite circles in the seventeenth cen
tury. for it occurs in n letter from the
Earl of EsseX-"So my wife gave her a
cob, for which she seemed very thank
ful"-printed in the new volume Of the
Camden" series, the editor of which
gives the information that the cob was
"A piece of money the value of which
varied from shillings to as much as G

A kissless People.
Continued next week }

The Maori women Of New Yea
land know nothing about kissing
Nose rubbing is their form of salu'
tation, and when two friends meet
they hold each other by the hands,
bend their heads until their noses
touch and then rub them gently
from side to side. This form OF
greeting is not confined to the NO
men, but Is practiccd by the men.
They seldom meet without rubbing
noses. In times of lamentation the
Maori women will sit for hours with
their noses touching and moan for
the loss of some chief whom they
have in all probability never seen.
