Law Saw More Love Than
ligion in Man's Kiss.
Exhaustive Legal Opinion' by British
Judge Laid Down Fine Distinction
Between the Salute Amatory '
and the Salute Religious.
' The Wanders of Lewis, the Island
in the western Hebrides, oft the coast
of Scotland, which Is coming so much
Into prominence since Its recent pur
chase by the soap king, Lord Lever
hulme, have many quaint customs, one
of which was strikingly revealed In
an action for divorce trie tn court at
Edinburgh. The story Is well told In
the judgment pronounced by Lord
Sands.
The action was at the Instance of
Alexander Matheson, fisherman of
Portnaguran, Stornaway, against Mrs.
Isabella McLean or Matheson, 6 Port
naguran, and against William Camp
bell, merchant, 9 Portnaguran, as co
defender. His lordship granted a de
cree of divorce, and found the co
defender liable In expenses nnd40
damnges.
His lordship said he thought it was
proved that, considering their previ
ously distant relations, there was a
remarkable intimacy botween defen
der and codefender. The codefender
kissed the defender both when they
were alone and In her house before
her children. This In Itself would
have been conclusive had It not been
for one circumstance. The defender
and the codefender were both members
of the United Free church. There was
evidence that could not be disregarded
that there was a certain practice of
kissing between communicants, though,
In deference probably to British Ideas,
the salutation seemed to pass only be
tween Dersons of opposite sexes. The
existence of such a practice seemed
somewhat startling, but his lord ship
thought It was explained by the evi
deuce taken In relation to what wa a
matter of public knowledge among
those conversant with religions con
dltloas in the highlands.
It had been the practice for only i
mere handful of the adherents of the
church to participate In communion, al-
' though the communion season was i
1 far more solemn action In Uie high
lands than In the lowlands.

however. In 1900, the sections which
adhered to the United Free church had
tended to become much more like their
brethren In the soul, and thus it man
1 treated Itself among other ways In
many younger persons becoming com
munlcants. This caused an awkward
complication as regarded the kissing
custom. It might be all very well for
elderly saints to greet one another

the conclusive character of undue fa
mlllsrlty.
It wts proved that the codefender did
more than kiss the defender; he also

tension of the embrace.

SAINT TO HAVE NEW SHRINE
Mining Operations In Cuba Caused Col
laps of Church of the Virgin
of Cobre.
Wrthout popnl sanction, the Virgin
of Cobre became the patron aalnt of
Cuba. Harry A. Franck relates In Uie
Century Magazine the legend of 300
years ago which tells of how two men
and a negro slave boy from the vil
lage of Cobre, not far from Snntlago,
went to Nlpe bay to gather salt, and
there they found floating on the water
an Image of the Virgin, bearing the
Child ou one arm and holding aloft
a gold cross
The figure Is of wood, about 13
Inches highland gaudily decorated
with the silks and jewels slwsys giv
en by tiie pious believers. Her priest
ly attendants have bern richly shower
ed with worldly gifts, snd her shrine
was surrounded with costly votive of
ferings, until someone ran away with
most of them about the time Spanish
rule In Cuba waa abolished.
Some time ago copper was discov
ered In the hill beneath the figure of
the Virgin of Cobre. An English com.
psny contracted to tnsks good any
damage their mining operations
might cause to the venerated shrine.
During their tennre the church suffer
ed no Injury, and th mine was worked
to what was considered the limit of
Its real productiveness; under old meth
ods, and was abandoned.
But when the world conflict sudden
ly mad cojner worth Increased exer
tion, C! re was taken over by an Amer
ican syndicate. The mine had mean
while Oiled with water, and when the
new company began pumping this oat,
the old supporting timber gsve wsy
snd the church of the Virgin above
began to sink until. In time. It fell
completely out of sight. A new shrine.
