WAS TOO FERVElT'
Law Saw More Love Than Re.
Iigion in Mans Kiss.
Exhaustive Legal Opinion by British
Judge Laid Down Fine Distinction
Between the Salute Amatory
and the Salute Religious.

The islanders Of Lewis, the island
In the western Hebrides. off the coast
of Scotland, which is coming so much
into prominence since its recent pur
chase by the soap king. Lord Lever
hulme, have many quaint customs, one
of which was strikingly revealed In
an action for divorce triec! in court at
Edinburgh. The story is well told in
the Judgment pronounced by Lord
Sands.
The action was at the instance of
Alexander MathesOn. fisherman OF
Portnaguran, Stornaway, against Mrs.
Isabella Mclean or Matheson. 6 Port.
naguran, and against William Camp
bell, merchant Portnaguran, as CO.
defender. His lordship granted a de-
cree of divorce and found the CO.
defender liable in expenses andf4O
damages.
His lordship said he thought it was
proved that, considering their previ.
ously distant relations, there was a
remarkable intimacy between defen-
der and codefender. The codefender
kissed the defender both when they
were alone and in her house before
her children. This in itself would
have been conclusive had it not been
for one circumstance. The defender
and the cOdefender were both members
of the United Free church. There was
evidence that could not be disregarded
that there was certain practice of
kissing between communicates. though.
InfD pr;t t;al,t Il
the salutation seemed to pass only be-
tween persons of opposite sexes. The
existence of such a practice seemed
somewhat startling, but his lordship
thought II was explained by the evil
dence taken in relation to what was
matter of public knowledge among
those conversant with religious con
ditions in the highlands.
1t had been the practice for only
mere handful of the adherents of the
church to participate in communion. al
though the communion season was
far more solemn action in the high
lands than in the lowlands.
Since the split in the Free church,
however, in 1900. the sections which
adhered to the United Free church had
tended to become much more like their
brethren in the soul, and thus It man.
lfested itself among other ways in
many younger persons becoming COM
municants. This caused an awkward
complication as regarded the kissing
custom. II might be all very well for
elderly saints to greet one another
with n chaste oriental salute, but 1t
was a different matter when 1t came to
young married women being promiscu-
ously kissed by casual male acquaint-
ances who happened to be fellow COM
municants. This extension of the Gus
tom was therefore disapproved Of by
many, but to a certain extent the Gus,
tom prevailed. Such being the state
Of matters, the kissing INDUCED In
by the parties to this case had not
the conclusive character of undue fa-
miliarity.
1t was proved that the cOdefender did
more than kiss the defender; he also
put his arms around her. fact which
he admitted. His lordship felt that re-
ligious custom did not Justify this ex
tension of the embrace.

WIRELESS IN THE POCKET
Small, Cheap Apparatus That IL Real
iy a Marvel Of Ingenuity.
Costs Only IS.

1t Is now possible to pick up wire
less message from any Of the big ssa-
tions within reasonable distance IN
this country with the aid Of an ordin-
ary umbrella, patent pOcketbook and
telephone.
The umbrella will act as the aerial,
the pocketbook contains a miniature
receiving set, and, of course, the tele-
phone must be high-resistance In
strument.
1t has even been possible, inventors
of the pocket receiving set say. to use
an ordinary bedstead as an aerial.
You must not expect with this sim
Pile installation to get in wireless
touch with Paris, Berlin or Moscow.
but if you want the mild excitement
of picking up messages from home
station within reasonable distance you
must follow these directions:
Take your umbrella with you and
the pocketbOok, select nice lofty po-
sltion, and having earthed one corner
of the pocketbook-say to water
pipe or something equally damp and
handy, hold your umbrella out at
arms length. There should also be a
telephone handy. and it would be more
convenient to use the headGear worn
by telephone operators.
Having rigged yourself out as hU-
man wireless station all you have, to
do is to listen. YOu will be as rock
in wireless sea with invisible waves
of understanding running down the
stick of your umbrella.
1t is claimed for this pocket receiv-
ing set that it is comparable in sensi-
tiveness with the most expensive and
elaborate tuner on the market.
The cost of the pocketbOOk is about

RESEMBLE ACRES OF LILIES
Visitors Beautiful Description Of the
American Cemeteries In France
Exquisite In Uniformity.

Though American relatives usually
want to plant flowers on the graves
OF their sons or brothers in the Amer
lean army cemeteries in France. an
army ruling forbidding this has been
adhered to. The cemeteries, a uni
form stretch of green grass with white
crosses, look like "acres of white ILL.,
ies," according to Miss Elsie Goddard
Wellesley graduate who has returned
to this country after having had super
vision of the Y. w. G. A. rest huts
built for the comfort Of relatives WIS.,
iting the graves in four of the Ameri-
can cemeteries in France. "At first
every one wants to plant flowers on
the grave they love-" says Miss God
dard, "but they soon see that the army
ruling keeps the cemeteries most beau
tiful and impressive because Of the
uniformity. Cut flowers can be placed
on graves and flowers can be planted
in the flower beds near by, but not
on the graves. The French people
who are eager to decorate the graves
in some parts are often surprised at
this ruling, but our cemeteries, as cared
for, are wonderfully impressive. Aft
ter visiting them few Americans want
to take the bodies Of their boys home,
though they have been determined to
do it before they came" The Y. w. c.
A. and Red Cross combine in main
tanning rest huts at Romagne, Bony,
Belleau Woods and Fere-en-Tardenois.
mo matter how prepared mother
and father are for what they expect
to see, the first sight of the field of
American graves overwhelms them"

JAFFA GATE IN JERUSALEM
Passasewsv Through Which General
AIIeuby Entered 10 the Real
Article, Writer Says.

Jerusalem has seven gates ~and a
transportation problem handled at
present, as Of old, along purely East
ern lines. There are dOnkeys, horses,
camels-even carriages and the
ubiquitous fivver and all that traffic
concentrates naturally at the gates,
Just as, to increase its force, water
used to be made to flow through a
small opening in the 0ld-fashioned tide
mills at home. AS for telephones, who

out of the Jaffa gate, writes William
ID. McCracken in Asia. This is the
widest opening the city has, since
William II of Prussia had it enlarged
to permit his spectacular entry-a
symboiical pageant that he staged to
represent his taking possession of the
holy city by agreement with the sui
tan In COnstantinople. But wide is
the gate which leadeth unto destruc-
ton. The real Jaffa gate is narrow
one at the side of the wide passage
way; and this was the one used by
Gen. Allenby when he entered Jerusa..
lem after its capture, modestly, on
foot, carrying the cane that the Brit
ish officer affects as his only scepter
of power. This gate Is now closed
with heavy iron bars and will not be
reopened until the exact political
status of Jerusalem has been deter
mined.

FIRST TO ADOPT UNIFORMS
How the Present Regulation Of Attire
and Martial Music Came Into
20 General Use.

The early Lacedemonians were the
first who availed thmselves of mar
tial music for regulating the march,
as well as making the will of the lead
ers Ineligible without words to the
practiced ears of the warriors The
learning of the various melodies,
which, that they might remain unin-
telligible to the enemy, had much va
riety, was one of the chief occupa-
tons of the army training school. They
also first adopted military uniforms,
choosing red that the enemy might
not perceive If he had inflicted
wounds.
Lacedemonian troops were wont
to wear their hair long as a sign of
freedom, privilege which was not
allowed to mechanics, as it was not
permitted to slaves to bear arms. AT
the opening and during the continu.
ance of war the military officers al
ways accompanied the army and
drilled ii in the morning with march
ing, in manipulations and evOlutions
they ate with the warriors, exercised
them In their songs of praise to the
gods and heroes, and slept like the
private soldiers on their arms. Al
the conclusion of n war the king gave
an account of his administration of
it. Men who died in battle were hon
ored the same as other immortalized
heroes. The whole country put on
mourning when the king died and
business was suspended for 10 days.

ELDERLY CAN "coME BACK"

Advancing Years.

Or. I. Leo Nascher tells how he made

article In Peoples Magazine for May
"It is something any elderly person

weeks vacation he looks and feels

dreds of cases in which this has proved
true, 1t is logical to ask If we cannot

ITO restore the spirit and buoyancy

quires the WILL not only the desire, but

Most old persons have the desire, some

and feel younger than they look. And
if they went about it the right way
they usually succeeded.

HOW
SIDEWALKS VARY IN THE
CITIES OF OLD EUROPE.

HOW===
SIDEWALKS VARY IN THE
CITIES OF OLD EUROPE.
The sidewalks and pavements
in different countries vary as
much as the people. In many
towns of Holland the sidewalks
are private property, and one Is
not expected to step across them
unless entering the house TO
which the walk belongs. In many
cities the streets and sidewalks
end in canals, especially In The
Hague and Rotterdam.
In many Swiss towns side
walks are under arcades, the
masonry houses being built to
the curb. Under the arcades are
paved sidewalks, which in sum-
mer are swarmed with tourists.
In Chester, Eng, some streets
have sheltered sidewalks SIM
liar to the Swiss sort, but they
are even more curious, since
they are raised to the second
floor. The island of Malta has
flights of stairs for sidewalks,
that lead to the sea.
In certain old German towns
the sidewalks seem to be re-
garded as incidental, sometimes
narrowing to II foot or two. An
Italian nobleman had the court
yard of his palace paved with
slabs of stone, each piece of
which had been brought from a
different part Of the world. The
famous Rue de la Republique, in
Lyons, is laid In glass blocks,
eight inches square, so system
atically fitted together that wa
ter cannot penetrate. Tomb
stones have been employed for
paving in some places in Eng
land, and in Africa human skulls
have been used. .
