Posting lancis- The new laws providing for and regulating the posting of lands, enclosed :t:ul unenclosed, requires the posting of notices in at least two places on the land to be protected arid the registering of the name of party with the clerk of the super ior court. The registration book is to he furnished by the commis sinners and the tax receiver is re cjuired to take this book with him on his rounds and register such parties as wish to post their lands. This is a brief synopsis ot the law as passed by the hist legislature.— Ex. A New York court basset a valua tion on kisses. A young lady was slicing for bread) of promise and had kept an account of t he times she Lad been kissed which numbered over 1200. She wanted her $30,- 000.00 The court awarded her $ pooo setting the valuation ol each fit $2.37 so to speak. We don’t doubt but that the young lady who would keep an account ol sue tilings, could be induced to sell job lot now at a reduced price oD« .99.

JlitTl'-r Wholly Apart From Color Uliii(S:--i Ms. Color blindness was the topic under discussion. •'They tell me I’m color blind,” said the lawyer, “but I don’t j believe it. Often, I admit. I make mis takes in colors. I-say that pink is red, j I siiy that gr ■■ 11 is blue. Put it is only \ the names of tbs colors lam off in. I am not, I insist, color blind." The ocu list who was in the party nodded ap proval. “Cxactly,” lie said. “These diagnos- ; ticlans of yours mistake your case. They take eoior ignorance for color blindness. Hero they are as wrong as though they should say music igno rance was music blindness—as though, I mean, because you could not tell that a certain struck note was ‘E fiat,’ you were dead to all musical gradations. Some years ago, when the examination in colors of railroad men was inau gurated, a howl went up over the amazing amount of color blindness in America, and many a good man lost his job unjustly. These men had been off in the names of colors, not in the colors themselves. They could in a day or two have been taught what they lacked. Many of them, it is likely, were not color blind. 1 say this be cause recently I heard of an examina tion of Sou railroad men that was con ducted in the proper way on an Eng lish line. About seventy of these men were a little off regarding color nomen clature, but not a single one of them was color blind.”— Philadelphia Ilecord, Orlon<al Sqnaiters. Most artists depicting the east show men sitting erosslegged. tailor farliion. Easterners don’t sit like that. Usually they stick their calves beneath them, sit on their heels and with the soles of the feet pointed upward, a painful pos ture for an occidental. The Hindoo flsually rests on his haunches, with his knees pyramid style and his chin on their level. Try thatmttitude ten min utes and see how yon like it. Traveling eastward, as soon as you touch Turkey you reach a district 1 where sitting on the floor is the custom. I You may then jour soy on for thou sands of miles, also north and south, and the millions in that region are all floor squatters. When you arrive in China, however, then you are among other millions who sit on chairs. Go over to Japan, and then you get among squatters again. The question is, Why should the Chinese, among all the na tions of the east, use chairs? How Hoiiuiiih Toole Their Food. The Romans reclined at their ban- I quets on couches, all supporting them selves on one elliow and eating with their lingers from dishes placed in the center of the table. Each was supplied with a napkin, and knives were used, though it does not appear that every one was supplied with one. Nothing, it would seem, could be more fatiguing than to partake of a repast in such an awkward posture or less conducive to neatness, it being almost impossible to keep the hands clean even with water supplied by .the slaves or to prevent the food and wine from falling on the clothing and the draperies of the couch. Tins manner of eating disappeared dm ng the dark ages so far as the eoi -h was concerned, but the peculiar ity of taking the food with lingers from a Common dish continued afterward for more than 1,000 years.
