TAKING THE OATH.
Kissing the Bible and Other Forma ol
Legal Swearing.
Once again has attention been
drawn to the danger of “kissing the
book.’’ The medical officer of health
to the Wareham rural district coun
cil attributes the death of a police
constable to acute ulceration of the
throat, which was produced by the
insanitary state of the Testament he
pressed to his lips before giving evi
dence at the petty sessions a few
days before he died. It is strange
that the people who complain of the
danger of kissing the book should
be unaware that no witness is
obliged to incur it. The oats act,
1888, provides that “if any person
to whom an oath is administered
desires to swear with the uplifted
hand, in the form and manner in
which an oath is usually adminis
tered in Scotland, he shall be per
mitted so to do, and the oath shall
be administered to him in such form
and manner without further ques
tion.”
There is nothing in the Scotch
formula which explains why this
provision should be practically a
dead letter in the courts. The oath
that is supposed to be binding on the
other side of the Tweed is in these
words: “I swear by Almighty God
and as I shall answer to God at the
great day of judgment that I will
tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. ” Not many
months ago a county court judge
allowed a witness to cover the Bible
with clean paper before he kissed it,
and the practice seemed to be spread
ing until it was suggested that it af
forded a complete justification of
the propensity of many witnesses to
kiss their thumbs.
“Kissing the book” did not be
come a part of the ceremony of oath
taking in England until the seven
teenth century. It is clear that the
practice did not prevail in Coke’s
time, since in dealing with the ad
ministration of the oath he makes
no reference to it. “It is called a
corporal oath,” he writes, “because
the witness toucheth with his hand
some part of the Holy Scriptures.”
England is almost the only country
in which “kissing the book” is
known. The witnesses at a French
trial have a very simple ordeal to
pass through before they unfold
their tales. The judge, seated be
neath a crucifix, says, “You swear
to tell the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth?” and ths
witness, lifting up his right hand,
answers, “I swear it.” The expres
sion “the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth” is used
injtaly asd Bejigum as well as in
Efogland and Francj£ The Austrian
jvitaess is swdrfi a- cru loifix;
between two lighted candles, and,
with his right hand lifted, makes
this declaration: “I swear by God
the Almighty and All Wise that J
will speak the pure and full truth
and nothing but the truth in answer
to anything I may be asked by the
court.” A witness in a Spanish
court is required to kneel on his
right knee and to place his hand
on an open Bible. “Will you swear
by God and by these holy gospels
to speak the truth to all you may
be asked?” inquires the judge.
“Yes, I swear, ” answers the witness.
“Then if thus you do,” says ths
judge, “God will reward you, and, if
not, will require it of you.”—St.
James Gazette.
The Yukon River.
“The River Trip to the Klondike”
is the title of an article in The Cen
tury by John Sidney Webb. Mr.
Webb says:
The mouth of the Yukon is about
100 miles broad—that is, from one
side to the other side—but there is
nothing to suggest a river about
it nothing but small streams,
sloughs, islands innumerable and
disconcerting. It is like being
brought face to face with a hundred
gates, only one of which opens the
way which you are seeking, while
the others lead to destruction. This
is the difficulty in navigation at the
starting point and the sort of thing
encountered all the way to Circle
City. It is touch and go, or touch
and not go, and you may get through
or may stick on a bar and not budge
an inch for many weary days or
weeks. Eighteen hundred and fifty
miles of river are before you on
your way up to Dawson, and it
takes about 15 days if you meet with
no accidents—days of vast, wonder
ful and ever changing scenery,
nights of silent grandeur, when you
seem to be all alone, surrounded by
an untrodden wilderness, silent,
awesome, mysterious.
The Gateway of the Orient.
It was, I believe, Fromentin, the
eminent French scholar and art
critic, who remarked that the sud
den view of the orient through the
gateway of El-Kantara presented the
most contrasting picture of life and
nature that was to be found any
where on the surface of the earth.
How nearly true this statement may
be it is hardly possible to determine,
but it is certain that it would be dif
ficult to find elsewhere on the globe
a more striking closing of one world
and opening of another. Through
El-Kantara passes the solemn tread
of the camel trains, whose destina
tion is the silent Sahara and the
deeper Sudan. In it are offered up
the fervent Moslem prayers for a
safe journey and return. The giant
buttresses of the Atlas mountains,
red and purple with the glow of the
morning and twilight sun, look
down upon a tempestuous mountain
torrent which has cut its way
athwart their core, and grim and
crag eaten rocks, buried deep within
their own bowlder masses, wall off
with heights of 8,000 to 5,000 feet
the gray and yellow panorama of
shifting sands —the warm heart of
the southern Sahara.—Forum.

HOW WILD ANIMALS DIE.
Hanger Gets Them Even if They Escape
the Hunter’s Gun.
What becomes of all the dead
birds and animals?
Some of them, hastened in their
exits by villainous saltpeter, go into
cooking pots or yield up their blood
dabbled feathers for woman’s adorn
ment. But how about those who
die a natural death?
It is the rarest thing to find the
bodies of wild animals, except such
as have plainly died in conflict or
by accident. At salt licks the ground
is often covered with the bones of
animals who have been killed in
fights with each other.
In tropical countries the bodies of
dead animals rapidly decay, and
their smaller bones are devoured
by greedy beasts of the pig and
hyena types. But the same scarcity
of animal remains is noted in the
arctic regions, where decay is al
most unknown. Here big beasts
like the Siberian mammoth have
been “cold storaged” for many cen
turies and actually eaten at the last.
But each succeeding spring does,
as might be expected, disclose the
skeletons of birds or animals who
have died during the year and been
buried by the snow. Yet birds
swarm by the millions in summer
on the arctic tundra, and seals, rein
deer, foxes, walruses and other land
and water animals are there. Nor
den skjold notes this strange absence
of “self dead” polar animals. Not
one did he see, though there were
plenty of traces of man’s wanton
waste of life in creatures dead of
gunshot wounds. “The polar bear
and the reindeer,” he writes, “are
found in hundreds, the seal, walrus
and white whale in thousands and
birds in mih ons. These birds must
die a ‘natural death’ in untold num
bers. What becomes of their bod
ies?”
It is strange that on Spitzbergen
it is easier to find the vertebra of a
gigantic lizard of the trias than the
bones of a seal, walrus or bird which
has met a natural death.
It is probable that animals most
universally hide themselves when
they feel the pangs of approaching
death. Their chief foe is hunger,
coupled with old age. Distemper
kills foxes and wolves as well as do
mestic dogs and cats. Chills and
heart disease count animal as well
as human victims. Old animals die
of indigestion, especially when their
teeth become too poor to permit of
chewing their food.
Tumors, diphtheria and consump
tion are frequent animal complaints,
and anthrax, influenza, glanders and
cholera claim •theirjsh&re. Rabies
cpmes in epidemicstamong wild api-
well'as fame ones/. It
so common among fo-xes in 183# ‘J 1
1838 in France and Switzerland that
fox hunts were organized for the
protection of domestic animals.
All this, however, doesn’t explain
what becomes of the dead animals.
Perhaps that will cease to be a mys
tery when we find out where all the
pins and shoe buttons go.—New
York World.
A Law Against Bachelors.
Bachelors have a hard time in the
Argentine .Republic. There a law
inflicts a fine upon any person of
marriageable age who rejects a pro
posal. Here is the statute: People
of marriageable age of either sex
who refuse an offer to wed without
reasons which are considered valid
in law shall not be permitted to mar
ry thereafter without the permis
sion of the government. They shall,
moreover, pay an indemnity sum of
not more than £IOO to the person
whose offer they have refused.
Young men and women under 20
years old are exempt from the law
and can marry as they please. Aft
er they are 28 the men are obliged
to pay a heavy tax if they remain
single. The women propose as well
as men, so an unmarried young man
between 20 and 28 years old in that
country has a troublesome time.
Not only is he made to pay a tax
for being a bachelor, but if he re
fuses a proposal he has to pay the
proposer a fine. Naturally, there
are few old maids in Argentina.—
New York Ledger.
A Time Limit Motto.
A Parsons father is happy in the
possession of a parlor motto which
reads, “God bless our home,” until
10 o’clock at night, and then, with
a clicking noise suddenly changes
front, and “Time to skip” meets the
gaze of the astonished young man
caller. The Parsons boys are said
to understand it. Kansas City
Journal.
An examination was made'bf some
electric belts sold by a street fakir
at Ottawa. It was found that be

perspired a little, the mustard was

sation, and the deluded victim be
lieved a current of electricity was
passing through him.

Scotch writer, who died in 1716,

to make all the ballads of a nation
he need not care who should make

TRICKS OF MANNER.
Showing How Use Doth Breed a Habit Ta
a Man.
Mannerisms,personal peculiarities
and facial tricks in those with whom
we are thrown into close relations
affect our nerves after a time. They
are like jarring notes which destroy
a melody and wear on the listener
until he can think of nothing else.
There is my friend Annabel, for
instance. Annabel is one of the
wittiest, the m«st generous women
I know. But when Annabel is angry
or hurt and does not want to say so,
but does want to say something dis
agreeable about somebody, she has
a trick of running her tongue with
the rapidity of lightning back and
forth across her lips after every
statement which she is not sure of
your accepting. I can hardly stay in
the room with her after a few mo
ments, and were I to see her do this
thing without being near enough to
hear a word I should know exactly
the frame of mind she was in. I
have tried to tell her how unpleasant
it is, but it means telling her as well
iomething about her mental traits,
and I hardly dare to do that.
Then there is Adolphus. Poor
Adolphus! He lectures just at pres
ent, and everybody flatters him, and
he has never guessed that he is not
everything that is perfect or that
half his audience turn away and
say: “Will nobody tell him? We
forgive him because he
good things to say, but we shut our
eyes while we listen!”
And that which Adolphus does is
to begin by making an exclamatory
remark, like “Art is long!” perhaps.
Then he pauses, scrapes his throat
and standing for at least 50 seconds
with indrawn lips he rolls his eyes
about over his audience to see how
his statement has been accepted.
I knew a clergyman long ago who
never gave out his text without
pausing directly after to use his
handkerchief in that good old fasht
ioned way which meant a long rej
sounding blast throughout the
church.
Mrs, Dayton never says anything
about domestic, political or religious
affairs without lifting her hands and
wriggling her fingers before you.
Mr. Garrison never addresses a pret
ty woman without cocking his elj
bows or getting a little strut in hib
walk. Mr. Edmunds fills out his
chest and straightens his shoulders
when he sees one coming to whom
he must take off his hat. Old Gen
eral Randolph never to the day of
his death gave up the habit of fold
ing his napkin, putting it into a sil
ver ring, taking a last drink of wa
ter, and then wiping his lips witl)
the napkin he had just folded.
• tlie -result of mental
conditions, and' our responsibility
for our children is very great along
these lines. Lack of training always
tells, and the duty of the parent be
comes a serious one when the first
syrnjitoms of peculiar personal hab
its appear.
It is easy to correct the child when
young, not by severity or by mak
ing it self conscious, but by making
it repeat an action quietly before
you without the trick of manner or
of voice which had marred it.—Lil

Bazar.
Easy Care For Dyspepsia.
“As painful and annoying as dys
pepsia is, it may be easily and quick
ly cured if the sufferer will only pa
careful in his daily diet,” writjefl
Mrs. S. T. Rorer in The Ladies’
Home Journal. “Abstain for a given
time from all solid foods. Live for
at least one week on milk, one-quar
ter barley water or koumiss. Then,
as the stomach grows stronger, take
pure milk, sipping it and swallow
ing it slowly. You may take alsu
the raw white of an egg shaken with
a cup of milk, Barthelow’s food,
plum porridge, a little scraped beef
broiled and finally broiled beef, boil
ed rice and pulled bread. A glass of
cool, not iced, water should betaken
the first thing in the morning. A
cup of warm, not hot, water half an
hour before breakfast. For breakfast
three ounces of milk mixed with
one ounce of barley water. This
schedule should be followed every
three hours throughout the entire
day for one week, taking the last
glass of milk half an hour before
bedtime. Koumiss may be substi
tuted for the milk or used alternate
ly.”
Plain Lying.
I heard Mr. Moody say the other
day that a lady had come to him
asking how she might be delivered
from the habit of exaggeration ! to
which she was prone. “Call it ly

mising answer, “and deal with it
as you would with any other temp
tation of the devil.”—Rev. F. 18.
