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. .OO JPer Annum in Advance. 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 neath a strip of gauze was a layer of dry mustard. When the wearer perspired a little, the mustard was moistened and set up a burning sen sation, and the deluded victim be lieved a current of electricity was passing through him. Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun, a Scotch writer, who died in 1716, wrote to the Marquis of Montrose, the Earl of Rothes and others, “I once knew a very wise man that be lieved that if a man were jjermitted to make all the ballads of a nation he need not care who should make the laws of a nation.” The Suez canal is 88 miles long and reduces the distance from Eng land to India nearly 4,000 miles for ships.

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 lie Hamilton French in Harper’s 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 ing, madam,” was the uncompro mising answer, “and deal with it as you would with any other temp tation of the devil.”—Rev.
