Very Ancient Institution --Different

Kissers.
KissinRistheoldcstol all thcinnrticu-
late utterances of affection. The hiss
has a history above all others. Men
used it to salute the heavenly bodies. A
passage in Job, written U. (J. 2130, illus
trates this. It passed to the Greeks, and
from them to the Homans, and denoted
humility and homage. In Ilomer, Priam
is represented as kissing the hands and
embracing the knees of Achilles while
he sues for the dead body of Hector.
Examples are numerous of this kind of
kiss.
The custom of kissing was unknown
in Eugland till 449, when the Princess
Rowcna, daughter of liengist, king of
Friesland, pressed her lips to the cup and
saluted Vortigern with a “ little kiss."
From a passnge in “Evelyn’s Uiary,” it
appears that men kissed each other in
the stiects oflxmdon toward the end of
the seventeenth century. The Spanish
conquerors found it the custom preva
lent in the new world. The kiss of
peace was anciently given by the faith
ful one to the other, n9 a testimony of
cordial love and affection. After the
priest had given the salutation of peace,
the deacon ordered tho people to salute
one another with a holy kiss. It was
also given before the Eucharist until the
twelfth or thirteenth century. Toward
the end of the third century the kisB of
peace was given in baptism. Henry If.
of England refused to give Beckct the
kiss of peace, at Hint timo the usual
pledge ol reconciliation, in 1109.
Shakespeare was very fond of kissing.
You cannot read a single play of the
"great master” without nn abundanco
of talk about lips and kisses. Tho fol
lowing is taken from one of his very
deep tragedies:
“IIo kissed—tho last ol many double kisses.”
“We'll o’on but kiss Octavio, and wo'll fol
low.”
" Thoro is gold, and boro
My bluest veins to kiss; a bund that kings
Have lipp’d, and trembling kissing.”
“ Givo tno a kiss—o’on this repays mo.”
" I shall roturn oncu more to kiss those lips.
This is a soldier's kiss.”

A corespondent, writing from Colora
do Springs to the Louisville Courier-
Journal, says: Persons sullcring from
any of tho following diseas s will he
greatly relieved, if not permanenth
cured, by a sojourn here, especially if
they will subject themselves to medical
treatment suitable to the climate and
their changed condition. The iron and
soda springs at Mani’.ou, five miles
distant, witli which there is almost
hourly communication by rail or coach,
will prove reliable adjuncts in the good
work
“Cotnmond unto his lips thy luvoring bund;
Kiss it, my warrior."
“Como, then, and (oko tho best warmth ol my
lips.”
And in Cymbeline ho says:
“ Or ere I could
Givo him that parting kina, which l had
sut
Betwixt two charming words, ootnos in my
father,
And, liko the tyrannous breathing ol tho
north,
Shakes all onr buds from growing.”
KISSING NOT I.O0AL.
Kisses are not loenlized. Tho lips
though generally associated with tho
idea of kissing, nro not the sole recipi
ents. The forehoad, checks and hands
all come in for a share of tho honor.
And each one 1ms in Iho rite a peculiar
value and signillcanco of its own.
Kisses on tho ci.cok express regard, and
nru closely allied to kisseo on tho fore
head, which signify blessing nnd esteem.

They arc mud

tage of being non-comn.ittal. Then
there is the kiss of custom, the kiss of
duty, ‘he pre-con jugal kiss, tho lillal
kiss, the playful kiss, tho kiss of be
trayal and the kiss of passionate dovo-
tion and intense temperament:
" A man hath givouull earthly bliss,
And all his worldly worth lor thii—
To wuMo his wholu heart in ono kiss."
The llev. Sidney Smith snid: “Wo
are in favor of a curtain amount of sliy-
losh when a kiss is proposed, but it
should not be too long, and when Hie
fair one gives it, let it bo administered
witli warmth and energy—let the,o be
a soul in it. If she closo her eyes and
sigh immediately after it, the effect is
greater. Shoslruld ho careful not to
slobber a kiss, but give it as a humming
bird runs his bill into a honeysuckle—
deep but delicate. Tliero is much vir
tue in a kiss when well delivered . Wo

our mouth which lasted forty years, and
we bolievo it will bo one of the last
things we shall 1 (link of when we die.”
. Gilbert Stuart, the portrait painter,
is said to have met a lady in the streets
of Boston who necosted Lfm with: “Ah,
Mr. Stuart, I have just seen your like
ness nnd kissed it, because ft was so
Much like you.” “And did it kisr you
in return?” “Why.no.” “ Then,” said
'be gallant painter, “it was not like
me."
When Cliaries II. was making his
triumphal progress through England,
certain country ladies who were pre
sented to him, instead of kissing the
royal hand, in their simplicity held up
their pretty lips to be kissed by the king
—a blunder no one would more
willingly excuse than tho lover of pretty
Neil Gwyn. Georginna, duehess ol
Devonshire, gave Steel, the butcher, a
kiss for Ins vote nearly a century since
and another equally beautiful woman!
Jane, duchess of Gordon, recruited her
regiment in a similar manner. A kiss
from his mother made Benjamin West
nn artist. ‘Kiss me, mol her, before I
sleep! How simple a boon, yet how
soothing to the little suppliant is that
soft, gentle kiss. The little head sinks
conteutedly on the pillow, "for" alTT

in the bright and sunny dreams of in

Farming Under the Sea.
Everywhere upon the coasts of Eastern
New England may be found, ten feet
below the water mark, the lichen known
iia carrageen—the “Irish moss” of com
merce. It may be torn from the sunken
^^mywherc.nnd yet the little sea-
nrising from malarial causes or over
work, mental or physical.
Consumption in its earliest stages;
diseases of the liver, stomach, spleen,
bladder and of nn uterine nature. Bron
chitis and asthma, organic and func
tional scrofula in all its protean forms,
nasal and phnrynsjcnl catairh, especially
when contracted in damp locilities, and
chronic malaria poisonings and its many
complications.
I know that bronchistis will bo re
lieved, if not entirely cured. Have n
ease in my own family. Mrs. C. had
been afflicted with it for several years
before we enme here. Three months’
residence has nearly entirely relieved
hor.
I had determined to advise no one to
come here, either for health or fortune,
but the certainty of finding relief from
bronchitis and asthma is so clearly mani
fested in the ease of Mrs. C. and others
that for i nee I break my resolution,
and urgo nil persons afflicted with these
distempers to come.
Insomnious persons will be greatly
bonetited by this climate. I e innot
give the rcastn. Some attribute it to
an unusual amount of ozone in the at
mosphere. I speak from personal ex
perience on this subject. In no other
land have I ever found sleep so gentle,
so sweet, and so rofreshinr-. The sleep of
adults is ns profound and en'm at that of
infants, nnd there no is courting of the
charmir. She comes unsought, liko a
good angel, and spreads her oblivious
mantle ovir wearied soul and body,
nnd you know nothing till next morn
ing, when your llrst perception will bo
tho unspenknblo glory of Cheyenne as
you gaze on its purple sides through the
open window.
There is another class that may rely
on finding relief—tho obese. If there
lie any unhappy wight who desires to
lose some of his avoirdupois, let him
come. Opo singular fenture in our
population is. there nre no fat people
hero. If tho 1’rineo of Wales lied only
known tills in his day, he would have
avoided Beau Brummel’s heartless in
quiry. People afflicted with con
sumption nnd Bright's disease in tho
advanced singe, or laboring under or
ganic disease of tho brain or heart, or
nervous nffeolton depending on organic
lesion, hud better remain away.
In tho case of consumption in nn ad
vanced stage, however, this much can
bo siid: The patient’s pathway to the
tomb is smoothed by an almost utter
absence of physical suffering. Death
generally ensues suddenly and without
pain, life simply going out like a
candle.
About Presidents*

Setting Hens.
There is no use trying to get a hen to
iuit setting when she has got her mind
lair ly made up that setting is her best
hold. A New Jersey woman put her
head together to deviso a means of dis
couraging a hen from setting. She
got a east-iron egg, heated it red-hot
and put it in a nest under a hen. For a
moment tho hen seemed to feel that hor
situation was anything but pleasant, but
liko tho boy that stood on the burning
deck, whence all but him had lied, the
lien concluded Hint she could not go, so
she dosed her eyes, shut her teeth to
gether fiimly and with an expression of
resignation she went on hatching the
red-hot cast-iron egg. The lady who
bad placed this infernal machine under
the hen was out in tho garden picking a
mess of potato bugs, when she thought
she smelt feathers burning, and drop
ping her basin of bugs she strode to the
barn and found that the red-hot ogg had
set lire to the nest, burned the hen to a
skeleton and was getting into the hay-
Jolt. She yelled fire and looked around
for something wet to throw on t he lire,
but all she could find that was wet was
a load of pine kindling-wood that a coal-
dealer had sent to the house, and not
having time to run the kindling-wood
through a clothes-wringer, she faiuteu
away and the barn and hen were de
stroyed. There is no use trying to teac h
a hen anythmg about setting.—Mil

What a Rock Did.
An enormous piece of rock recently
fell in a narrow canon between Rock
Creek and Chamberlain flats, in Clicik-
i.tat county, W. T. It came from a
ledge above a road, and nearly crushed
a traveler and his horse. It then went
over the precipice, flying through the
air a distance of some 1,700 feet, went
through a band of stray sheep below,
numbering about seventy-five, killing
outright about forty-five of them, while
the rest were hurled through the air
against the surrounding rocks, and
maimed or injured.
Mark Twain on tho Alps
Mark Twain gets off' the following in
his new book, “A Tramp Abroad:”
We were at the Rigi-Kulm hotel
the Alps. It was night. We waited ’o
see the sun rise in the morning. We
curled up in the clammy beds and went
to sleep without rocking We were so
sodden with fatigue that we never
stirred nor turned over till the booming
blast of tlie Alpine horn aroused us. It
may well he imagined that we did not
lose anytime. We snatched on a few
odds and ends of clothing, cocooned our
selves in the proper red blankets, and
plunged along the liniis and out into the
whistling wind bareheaded. We siw a
tall wooden scaffolding on the very peak
of the summit, a hundred yards away,
nnd made for it. We rushed up the
stairs to the top of this scaffolding, and
stood thoro above the vast out-lying
world, with hair flying nnd ruddy blank
ets swaying and cracking in tbe fierce
breezes.
"Fifteen minutes too late, at last!”
said Harris, in a vexed voice. “The
sun is clear above tho horizon.”
“No matter,” I said, “it is a most
magnificent spectacle, and we will see
it do ‘
the rest of its rising, anyway.”
In a moment we wero deeply ab
sorbed in tho marvel before us, dea l to
everything else. The great cloud-barred
disk of the sun stood just above a limit
less expanse of tossing wliite-caps, so to
speak—a billowy chaos of massy moun
tain domes and peaks draped in iraper
ishahlc snow, and flooded witli nn
opaline glory of changing and dissolving
splendors, while through rifts in a black
do
cloud-bank above the sun radiating
lances of diamond Just shot to the
zenith. Thcclovcn valleys oftlio lower
world swam in a tinted mist which
veiled the ruggednessof their erngs, and
ribs, nnd ragged forests, nnd turned all
the forbidding region into n soft, and
rich, nnd sensuous paradise.
We could not speak. Wecould linrdly
lid
breathe. We could only gazo in drunken
ccstacy nnd drink it in. Presently Ilp.r
ris exclaimed: “Why, it’s going
down!”
Perfectly true. We had missed the
morning horn-blow, and slept all day.
This is certainly very amusing,
though tolerably "sleep,” but tho per
formance the next morning got away
witli it by a large majority. ’1 bus:
The next morning, however, we were
up before daylight. Fully clothed and
wrapped in blankets we huddled our
selves up to ttie window with lighted
pipes nnd fell into a chat, while wc
waited in exceeding comfort to see how
an Alpine sunrise was going to look by
By-and-
candlo light. By-ana-bye a delicate,
spiritual sort of effulgence spread itself
by imperceptible degrees over the lofti
est altitudes of tho snowy wastes—but
there tho effort seemed to stop. I stiid,
presently:
“There's a hitch about this sunris r
somewhere. It doosn’t seem to go.
Wlmt do you reckon is tho matter with
itP
“I don’t know It appears to hang
fire somewhere, I never saw a sunrise
net like that before. Can it bo that the
hotel i9 playing anything on us P”
“ Of course not. The hotel has merely
a property interest in tho sun, nnd lins
nothing to do with the management of it.
It is a precarious kind of property, too;
* would prob-
a sue,cession of total eclipses woul
ably ruin this tavern. Now, wlmt can
bo the matter with this sunrise P”
Harris jumped up and said. “ I’ve
got it! 1 know what’s tho maltor witli
It ! Wc’vo been looking at tho place
where the sun set last night 1”
It was "perfectly true,” nnd when
they turned around to look tho other
way they were too late, the sun was
already up.
Value of a Doctor’s Services.
I win called at midnight to visit, a
gentleman who had just returned from
a late dinner, ,vhore ho had succcoded
by hasty eating in lodging a large fish
bone in his throat. I provided myself
witli an emetic, a pnir of oasopliagus
mafia de-
forcops and other paraplicr
signed to give him relief, and hurriedly
repaired to his room. I found him pae
ing up and down the floor with a look
of inlonso distress and anxiety, ocea-
siona’ly running his lingers down his
throat and gagging. He told me in tones
of despair that ho thought it was all up
with bin-, but bogged mo, if the least
glimmer of liopo remained, to proceed
at once in my efforts to relieve him. He
extrnvngantly declared,in t he generosity
of spirit begot by tho vividness of his
fears, that liu would give $1,000,009 to
have that fishbone removed. I assured
him tlmtsuehcaseswcre frequent,and or
dinarily notaUendcd with much danger,
before pioceeding to carry out measures
for relief. IIis lears underwent same
diminution on the strength of this, and
he then declared that $50,000 would no
more than repay the skill and art re
quired to extricate the unwelcome in
truder. I smiled, and proceeded to in
troduce the forceps, but after several
attempts failed to grasp the bone. His
fears again induced him to mention n
fabulous sum as the mred of the service
that would expel the object of his ter
rors. I then gave him the emetic, its
depressing effect causing his generosity
to rise again, barometric-like, to a very
high pressure, in a little while the
emetic disburdened him of tho greater
part of his dinner, nnd witli it up came
the fishbone. IIo gave a sigh and look
of relief, nnd, solemnly looking toward
me, said," Doctor, 1 wouldn’t have that
thing in my throat again for $5!" My
fee eventually resolved itself into the
“ valuable experience ’ that the occa
sion afforded mo. — New York Medical

Jealousy of Ants.
The jealousy of ants toward intruders
ell
is well known. Strange queens intro
duced into their nests'are very often
ruthlessly slaughtered, yet it is believed
that communities must occasionally
adopt queens. With the view of testing
how far a temporary acquaintance might
assaugo dislike and passion, Sir John
Lubbock introduced a queen, protected
by a wire cage, into a quoenless nest,
but when the ca/ro was removed some
days alter the queen was at once at
tacked. Nevertheless, Mr. McCook has
observed the adoption by a colony of a
fertile queen. Such difference in con
duct, Sir John suggests, may be due lo
the fact that his own ants were living in
a republic, for it is affirmed that bees
long withouta queen are slrongly averse
to accepting another. Furthermore, if
a few ants from a strangs nest aro put
with a queen they do not attack her,
and if other ants are by degrees ad dee
the throne is ultimately secured.

A French Sketch of American Girls.
Here is a pen-and-ink sketch of nn
American girl, which is imere tinsr as
showing how a Yankee girl se ms to
French eves: Stylish to the backbone
Independent ns independent can hr, but
very pure. Is devoted to pleasure,
dress, spending money; shows her moral
nature nude, just as it is. so as to de
ceive nobody. Flirts all winter with
this or that ono and dismisses him in
tho spring, when she instantly catches
another. Goes out alone. Travels
alone. When the fancy strikes her she
travels with a gentleman friend or
walks anywhere with him; puts bound
less confidence in him; conjugal inti
macy seems to exist between them.
She lets him tell what he feels, talk of
love from morning till night, but Bhe
never gives him permission to kiss so
much as her hand. He may say any
thing; lie shall do nothing. She is
restless, she gives heart nnd soul to
amusement before she mairie-. After
marriage she is a molher annually, is
all day, hears nil night nothing
alone
exeopt discussions about pntent ma
chinery, uncxplosive petroleum, cliomi-
oal manures. She then will let her
daughters enjoy the liberty she used
without grave abuse. As notnimr seri
ous happened to her, why should Fanny,
Mary, Jenny be loss strong and less
ndruil than their mother? She origi
nates French fashions. Parisian women
detest her. Provincial women despise
tier. Men of all countries adore her
but will not marry her unless she lms
nn immense fortune. Her hair is ver
milion, paler limn golder hair; her black
eyes nro bold nnd frank, she spreads her
self in a carriage os if she were in a ham
mock, the natural and thoughtless pos
ture of her passion for luxurious ease.
When she walks she moves briskly and
throws every glnnce right and left.
Gives many of her thoughts to herself
and few of them to anybody else. She
is a wild plant put in a hot-house; feels
cramped in Europe, nnd pushes hor
branches through the panes without the
least hoed of the frail plants that vege
tate on all sides of her. Werosh" bet
ter understood, were she criticised less,
she would bo ostoemoi at her true value.

How a Murder Was Discovered.
From a private letter by Sir J. U.
Gefroy, lately governor of the Bermuda
isl n ls, Professor Moseley extracts an
account of a singular discovery ot mur
der. In the autumn of 1878, a Bermuda
woman suddenly disappeared. Her
husband was suspected of liaving caustd
her death, but as no trace of the missing
wotnnn could be found, there seemed
li lie probability that the crime would
be detected. A week nffer the disap-
pea mice, however, some Somerville
boatmen, looking out toward the sen,
were si: uek l y observing in the LongB iy
channel, the surface of which wes ruf
fled with a slight breeze, a long streak
of calm, such as a cask of oil usually
diffuses around it when in water.
Ihe feverish anxiety about the mi-sing
woman suggested some strange connec
tion between this singular calm and the
mode of her disappearance; and the
spot being found to lemain. severa’ men
visited the place in a boat two or three
days after it was llrst noticed, and drag
ged tho bottom of the channel. The re
sult was the finding of the nearly flesh-
l'ts skeleton to which a heavy weight
was fastened. Some bits of clothing
proved the identity of the body. The
husband was a fisherman, and Long
Bay channel being a favorite fishing
ground, he calculated, truly enough,
that tho fish would very soon destroy
all means of identification; but it never
entered his head that as they did so,
their ravages, combined with'the pro
cess of decomposition, would set free the
oily matter which was to write the
traces of his ciime on the surface of the
water. The husband was found guilty
and executed. Professor Mosely be
lieves this case must be of unusual in-
tirest to medical men.

mine, oceasionei by Hie whooping, yell
ing, dancing savages. Mr Thomas,
foreman of the Idaho, concluded it was
a fandango, as did others who board the
racket and snw the flames. The other
day Mr. Thomas happened to pass the
spot where the remnants of the lire were
still smoking nnd fragments of the
barbecue wero scattered around. A
close inspection showed that the fire had
been built to “ wipe out" a squaw. The
skull, fragments of bones nnd a brass
finger-ring were picked up. Mr. II.
Joseph now I109 the ring, a cheap affair,
such as is often worn by the squaws
about these parts. It is smoked up, and
bears evidence of having been subjected
to grent heat. It is getting to be a seri
ous matter for dusky maidens in these
parts lo flirt with white trash, and the
Shoshono lords propose to squelch that
—byeremat:
business os in days gone by
