Ancient Use of a Kiss.

A Roman woman iu the ancient time was not allowed to drink wine except it were simple raisin wine. and. how ever she might relish strong drinks. she could not indulge even by stealth first. because she was never intrust- ed with the key of the wine cellar and. second, because she was obliged daily to greet with kiss all her own as well as her husbands male representatives,. down even to second cousins. and as she knew not when or where she might meet them she was forced to be wary and abstain altogether, for had she tasted but drop the smell would have betrayed her. So strict were the old Romans in this respect that a cer- tain Ignatius Mercurius is said to have slain his wife because he caught, her at the wine cask--a punishment which was not deemed excessive by Romnus. who absolved the husband of tbe crime of murder.

The Nice of Austria.

"Tbe Nice of Austria" is the name by which Gorizia, or G0ritz. is known among It's habitues. owing to it's mild climate. Curiousiy enough. the city furnishes link with the French Bour. bons. for in a Franciscan convent there lie the remains of Charles X. of France. the last of the Bourbons: of the Duke of Angouleme. his son, and of the Due de Chambord, who died as recently as lS83 Gorizia. under Aus. trian rule, was the capital of the crown land of Gorz Gradisca and first appears in history toward the close of the tenth century. when it was bestowed on the church. lt'is still the seat of an archbishop. and its special industry. significantly, perhaps. has long been the printing of Hebrew books for the east-London Spectator,

BIG CONTRACT IS MADE FOR T1HiS


 All the tie timber on the McPher- son ranch has been taken over by the Engineering Commission, and al ready bids have been received for cut ting them, says the Seward Gateway.
 The number of ties, it is estimated, which can be cut on the ranch will he from forty thousand to sixty thou sand, and MT McPherson receives five cents tie, which brings the money to be received by him to about $250O. The Alaska Transfer Company has made the lowest bid for cutting the ties on the ranch and delivering them bat the contract has not yet been signed. The total price for cutting end delivering them will be over $20, 900. The bond to be put up by the successful bidder is $5,000. The con- tract makes about half the total fig ured on at the present time for the supply of ties. J. D. Johnston is the lowest bidder for the cutting of 339 piles.

Nothing c0nld ex ceed the ordinary gravity Of his de meanor. which indeed caused him to be placed on the commission of peace. but now and then. without any uppar. ent provocation. he would burst into such laugh as no one ever heard be. fore except in one place.

 Only those who have given the sub feet close consideration and have been familiar with it personally can have wen a remote idea of the power of the women COT nected with the presidential administration. meaning the wives of lie president the vice president and ,'le cabinet officers. This power of the women first began to be marked in President Andrew JacksOn's time. anu t has. continued almost unabated up to he present hour. It is an unseen ,,ower. It is not proclaimed from the ,ousetops.
 Ii takes some time for the wives of the cabinet officers to reach q fair foot. ng with the wives of the president md vice president and among them. selves. They cope from different sec tions of the country and must accns toIo themselves to a vastly different enYironmept. the official life of Wash ington. In thousand little ways and in as many big ways they ran make or mar, help or hurt. hasten or retard the policy Of presidential administration.

 Rlotd ordeafs For Candidates For Our . Army and Navy.
 The physical requirements Of Amer ican soldiers and sailors are of high standard as compared with those Oi other countries. The tes, for hearing for example. in our navy and army is more severe than of any ether country
 One of these tests for admission t" sur Naval academy may he taken as typical example of the thorOughness with which the candidates faculties are tested. In this test the ticking of a watch must be heard at forty inches in quiet surrounding. and this ticking must be heard at that distance by each ear separately In addition to this. the candidate win be rejected if there iS the slightest suggestion of any dis eased condition about any portion of the ear.
 In ali the foreign navies. as well as in eur own. the severest tests of hear ing are imposed upon the men who are to undertake submarine service. In this service even an officer will not he accepted If the surgeon is able to f'nd any evidence that he has ever been af- fiicted with ear trouble at any time. Thus a slight inflammation of the ear which occurred in childhood may dis qualify the officer for submarine serv- ice. though his bearing may be ss, good that he would be readily accepted in any other branch of military service~

KEEPING CUT FLOWERS.
Methods by Which the Fading Process

Methods by Which the Fading Process May Be Delayed.
 Roses. carnations and orchids have been found to keep three times as long if small quantity of sugar be added to the water. writes Mabel H. Wharton Of Oakland. Cal, to Popular Mechan- ics. A small lump of starch has also been found beneficial Other flowers begin to bleed as soon as they are cut. and the precious sap running out of the stem causes the cells to collapse Immediately To prevent this the end Of the stem must be quickly closed, and this is best done by soaring in J flame. OF by placing directly fin hot wafer
 The florists of California go so far as to boil the stems of the brilliant poin settias or Christmas flowers. for which they are so famous. The stem is first stuck through large sheet of paper to prevent the steam from rising directly into the flower and injuring 1t.
 Carnations and chrysanthemums will keep almost twice as long if placed in fresh water daily, and 6 small piece is clipped from the ends of the stems each time. While cutting this piece of keep the stem under water so that no air bubbles are allowed to enter the stalk and thus retard the upward flow of water 4....,,.. .,.
 If large headed flowers, such as chrysanthemums or peonies. are to be sent some distance insure their arriy ing in good condition by wrapping each blossom separately in waxed paper.
