AN 11 Til KM K AKKsn MAW KIVHS THAT A
LIST IS ISTKIIKSTINII.
There wum an old belief that unless a
maiileii was kissed under the mistletoe at
Christmas she would not he married dur
ing the ensuing year.
When Fox was eoiitestina the hard-won
seat at Westminister, the beautiful Duch
es of Devonshire offered to kiss all who
voted for thefireat statesman.
In (lie eerenioiii.il of a betrothal a kiss
has played an important part in several
nalions. A nuptial ki.-n in ehureh, at the
eoneliiMon of the mai rini.'e servioo, is sul
einnly enjoined l.y Iho York Missal and
the Saruiu .Manual.
The beautiful Lady (I ordoii, when the
ranks of the Scottish roirimenls had been
sadly thinned by eruel Badajos and Sala
manea, turned recruilin Berpjeant, and, to
tempt the gallant lads, placed the rooniit
ii'S shilling in her lips, from nhenee each
who would might take it with his own.
In Finland, according to Bayard Taylor
the women resent as an insult a salute up
on the lips. A Finnish matron, hearing
of our English custom of kissing, declared
that did her husband attempt such a liber
ty she would trcut him with such a box on
the ears that ho should not readily forget.
In Wesley 'sjournal, date dime lli, 17."
is given the following description of a duel
between two officers at Limerick: "Mr.
li. proposed firing at twelve yards, but Mr.
J. said, 'no, six is enough.' So they kiss
one aiiolher (poor farce) and before they
were five paces asunder both fired at the
iustant."
Thceodoof .lustiuiaii lays ''that if a
man betrothed a woman by a ki and ei
ther parly died befoie marriage I he boils
were entitled to half (he donations mid the
survivor to the ulber half; but if (he con
tract was made without the solemn kiss
iho whole of the espousal gifts must bo re
stored to the donors and their heirs-at-law."
Tho Mohammedans on their pious pil
grimage to Mecca, kiss iho sacred black
stone and tho four corners of tho kaaba.
Tho Itumisli priosl kisses the aspergilliuiu
and Palm Sunday the palm. Kissing the
Pope 'a toe was a fashion introduced by one
of the Loos, who, it is said, had mutilated
his right hand and was too vain to expose
the slump.
In Iceland kissing had deterrent
penalties of great suvcrity. For kiss
ing another man s wife, with or with
out her consent, tho punishment of ex
clusion or its pecuniary equivalent
was awarded. A man rendered himself
liable for kissing an unmarried woman
under legal guardianship without her con
sent, and even if the ludy consented iho
law required that every kiss should be
wiped out by a tine of three marks
equivalent to 1 10 ells of wadinal a quan
tity sufficient to furnish a whole ship's
crew with pilot jackcls.
In Russia the Eastct salutation is a
kiss. Each member of tho family salutes
the olher; chance acquaintances on mecl
in kis; principals kiss their etnploji'es;
the general kiss's his officers; the offioirs
kiss iheir soldi, rs; iho Ciar kisses his fam
ily, Mimic, conn and attendants, and even
his I'tliceis on parade, iho sentinels at the
palace gaits and a select parly uf rivate
soldiers - probably elaborately prepared
ti r his "royal salute." In other pails
the poorest serf, meeting a high born dame
in the slrect, has but to say, ' Christ is
risen," and lie will reeiive a kiss and the
reply, "He is risen, truly."
Home, in his quaint old "Table Bunk,"
givus in account of a curious kissing fesli
ral held in Ireland: ' Easier Monday
several hundred young persons of the town
and neighborhood of Polsfciry, county
Down, resort, dressed in their best, to a
pleasant walk nur thi: town called 'Tho
Waller.' Tho avowed object of each pi r
son is to mc (ho fun, which consists in the
lien kissing the females, without reserve,
whether married or single. Th'ia mode of
salutation ia quite a matter of coulee; it ia
never taken amiaa, uor with much show
of coyness. The female must be ordinary
indeed who returns home without having
received at least a doicn hearty busses."

'SETTER" HORSE.
It V UN, I, All!'.
I heard a good story the other day
about a horse, and must tell it to the chil
dren. A man had a horse who would sit
down whenever he was touched in the
dank. Ilo would just squat down on bis
hindquarters like u dog. The man hied
to break him of it, but ho couldn't and
nobody would buy hitn. Ono day a sports
man came along and made his acquaint
ance, and Ihey took a rido together to
limit partridges. When they found a
covey the man touched his heels to the
horse's Hanks, and he sat down. "What
makes your horse do that?" said the
sportsman. "Why, he's a setter," said the
man. "He sets birds just like a dog. '
So the sportsman thought bo was a most
wonderful horse, and he swapped for him
and gave !?"ill to boot, and ho got on him,
and after n while they catno to a creek
that was pretty deep, and us the sportsman
held up bis legs lo keep them out of the
water his heels touched the horse in the
flank and down ho sit iu the water.
When ho got him up and out and was all
dripping wet, ho was mad us a wet hen,
and said, "Well, sir, what made this horse
do that way in the water?" "I forgot lo
tell you," said the Ulan, "that he sets lish
just as well as he does birds."

Teeth are just as easily starved
tin
stomach says a lecturer. Tho fuet is
that you and Jour fathers have from
generation to generation been industri
ously starving your teeth. In ono way
it is a blessing to have boon brn of poor
parents. What food the poor give their
children is of a variety that goes to
make strung bonos and tooth. It is the
outside of all the grains of all cereal food
that contain the carbonate and
phosphate of lime and traces of other
earthy salts which nourish the bony tis
sues and build the IV, one up. If we do
nut furnish to the teeth of tho young
that pabulum they require they can not
possibly he built up. It is ihe outside
of corn, oats, wheat, b.irley and the
like, or tho bran, so called, that wo sill
away and feed lo the swine, that the
teeth actually require for their proper
nourishment. Tho wisdom of man has
proved his folly, shows in every suc
ceeding generation of teeth, which become
more and more fragile and wiak.

The women of the country should give
more lime to rest and relaxation and less
to routine housework. They should make
fewer pies and less cake and do more sit
tiug down in tho rocking chair on the
porch. They would bo far mure useful
in their families as the years go by. Tho
woman who slays at home every day but
when she "goes to mooting" ou Sunday,
who is always "doing for tho family," will
soou uot only have no idea beyond the
fatuity circle, but none there to its advan
tage. She will bo worn out physically and
mentally early in life, and her children will
begin to ignore her before they are gone.
HOW TO STOI' COUCHING.
In a lecture once delivered by tho cele
brated Dr. Brown Scquard he gave (be fol
lowing directions whiih may prove sei
viccahlo to persons troubled with a nervous
coiie.li: "Coughing can lie slopped by
pros-ing on the nerves of the lips in the
neighborhood of the nose. A pressuro
(hero may prevent a cough when it is
beginning. Sneering may be slopped by
iho same ruechauism. Pressing also ill
the neighborhood of I he ear may stop
ciughing. Pressing vciy hard on (lie
lop of tin mnnih in.ide i n' menus
of stopping coughing. And I may say
the will has immense jsiwer, tisi. There
was a French surgistn who ued lo say,
whenever he entered ihe wards of Ihe
hospital: ''The 6rst patient who coughs
will be deprived of food to day.' It was
exceedingly rare that a palient eougliei
then."
The son of a butcher had great dilliculiy
iu fractions, although his teacher did hU
very best. "Now lei us suppose," said thr
teacher, that a customer comes to your
father to buy five pounds of ineul, and he
had only four tu Sell what would he do?"
"Keep his hand on iho meat while he was
weighing it,"was iho candid reply.
"0, my friend, there are some spec
tacles that a pcr.sou never forgets!" Raid a
lecturer after giving a graphic description
of a terrible accident he hud witnessed. "I'd
like toknow wherethoy sell Vm," remarked
an old lady in Iho audience who is
always mislaying her glasses.
THE BATTLE FLACS.
A llt.ANl'K AT THE I'AI'TI ItKli cliNKKIil.il
ATE KLAUS WHICH I'AI'SEl1 SI I'll I NIIEA-
SONIMI UAUK.
New rliWrl,.
Carried by an elevator live stories up.
under the roof of iho War Department,
almost burning in this Washington sum
mer weather, the key being turned by iny
guide iu the door of an attic room, 1 stood
an instant later iu a little space hardly more
than ten foot square, nearly within reaching
distance on all sides of these haltered me
mentos of the war, the very mention of
which lias set aliro the hearts of si.xly
n ill' h hi of people a few rags saturated
Willi the explosive wash ul patnoliMu.
Hut the first thought on seeing theui in
this pent-up space of attic is of the sniall
uess of the cause to the si.o of tho effect.
The Hags heaped abont the room appear ut
fust sight only u handful at the must, but
counted separately there are "otl iu all,
over five hundred of them h.'ing Confed
erate und the remainder Federal flags re
captured Iroiu their captors. Hue-halt
of the entire numb -r aro attached to their
staves as they were originally taken, the
Hags of the two sections being stacked in
separate masses against two sides of the
room, facing the other half folded nod
protruding from pigeon holes on (lie op.
posile walls. The sight of the Stars and
Strikes keeps ulways familiar, liut the
lirst look at tho dark red heap of the buii-
noi's of rebellion, pile hero against the site
of Iho attic, blots out twenty-live years
from the memory and brings back us it
were yesterday lb" red years wh 'ti they
waved at the head of their regiuienU
There is hardly a flag among ihcui all that
has not its history recorded iu the book
in tho hands of the keeper of the rooui.
All nearly aro riddled wilb bullets, and
many, like those carried through such bat
lies as the Wilderness and the second
Bull Run, were shut literally iuto shatter
and almost unrecogni. ible sprays ol rug.
The contrast in the appearance ol' the
Southern und Union standards is signili
cunt of tho history of the war. Tho latter
aro rigged on clean, polished poles and are
of firm, rich material, many of them of
silk, showing an abundance iu the North
of the fabrics of which Ihey continued to
make. The majority of the Confederate
Hags are of the wrelehedest shoddy bunt
ing, Uiisciuble in eoloi, as iu substance,
while great numbers of them are mounted
on rude, unliarked gads and saplings, has
tily cut from the woods on tho march
recalling the blockade and the pinching
days when war had fallen on n section
without manufactures, and tho intense,
desperate purpose of a people forgot so 'in
liuoss and absoibod every (bought but the
winniuu of their figh(.
Many of (ho Hags lying folded in the
boxes and takeu out to be exhibited by the
guardian ol the room recall still more the
narrow straits of rebellion on its last legs,
being literally independent of discrimina
tion iu color and made of patches from
women's dresses and underskirts of nearly
every hue and material pitiful reminders
of the Spartan poverty and courage that
wore still to fail of their end. There arc
some exceptions, however, in this store
room of battle trophies, to these mementos
of the sterner days of the w..r for the
South. The atti U'laiit drew from the pig
eon holes ou the walls and unfolded for my
inspection throe or four magnificent ban -ners
of heavy silk, fringed with tassels of
gold ami urnaiucntod with pictures iu oil
und rich otiihroderiugH on a field of bin".
These Hags represent the early aud halcyon
days of the Lost Cause, when they were
made by local ussociutious of ladies nnd
presented lo the military organizations
which carried iheiu. t Ine of those flags
belonged to the Appatachicola Guards,
whoso name is stitched in gold letters on
its folds above the exultant mottoes: "Tn
God is Our Trust'" "Our Rights We
Will Maintain'" The finest of ihem all
is the banner, "presented by the ladies of
Norfolk to the Norfolk Licht Infantry,"
will) an oil pun rail of Washington in the
litre ol its liel'l, the mottoes ou ttio re
verse side being the same ns those of I lie
flag jiisl described. The days when the
Confederates armies could afford such lux
ury in ensigns quickly passed away, h w
ever, as is cvidcuccdhy ibis collection, rep
resenting every person of the war. In
tliO bcgillllillg of (lie, rebellion design
ol Iho flag carried by tho Southern regi
ment was that of Ihe Stars and Bars
two red burs and oni white changing at
a later s'riisl to a rod Hold with the South
ern 'runs, resembling the British Union
Jack. A study ol the record kepi by Ihe
War Department of the name and capture
of each of these flags, though a work of
days, would be of intense interest to the
veteran soldier. It would reeall to him
tho episodes of triumph on half the fields
of the rebellion. The sight of the flags
themselves would do something more
quickening his heart-heats with memories
of (lie great nght. 1 hat not a lew of these
standards have been the Collin's of deadly
personal encounter is evident from the
numerous Wood stains Mill traceable upon
(hem. The staves, also, of muuy of them
are ragged with the gnaw of builds, the
lead ill some instance piercing Iheir e
tree and remaining imlicddcd in ihe wood
F.verylhing, in fact, iu the apiearanoe of
the whole collection, as it is piled here in
the narrow garret, faded and soiled and
tattered, shows that these ae no banners
of holiday parade, but have passed through
the fire and extremity of actual war the
sorrowful weeds blasted and fallen from its
wratli
