Old False Teeth
Various Modes Of Greeting.

Savages rarely osculate. The salu.
tatlons of the Mongols, Malays Poly
nesians. the Eskimos and LaplandeTs
consist chiefly of smelling each other
and rubbing noses; while in Tibet, in
stead of greeting by an adhesive touch,
the mode OF salutation consists of ex-
tending the tongue, but this Is done
simply because the custom of the
country does not permit OF any phys
ical contact. North American Indians
do not kiss excepting in the presence
of death, when they profusely fondle
and kiss the feet OF their beloved de-
parted ones. The native Australian
and Fiji islanders salute with a hug
like bear. The Celtic race is not
especially demonstratlve and rarely
kiss In public un'res It is in greeting
after long absence. then men vcr;
rarely kiss each cher and the women
