They socereded in finding several knives and revolvers secreted about the deck; but the would-be pirates were not visible. On necending again to the drek, however, they soon learned from a quarter master that several Chinese with small bundles had gone ashore again almost immediately on thels arrival at the kern-ine anchorage: 10 they rightfully concluded that, the villains had some- how got the tip-perhaps from some interested friend among the crew-prasibly as unsuspected fireman hovering about in a black mask of coal- dust and root, and bad wisely decamped in time to save their necks and reserve their energy for a more favourable opportunity aboard some unuspicious aner pred craft whose crew have half forgotten the Namoa dister and have allowed themselves to be lalled by the lapse of time into a delusive sense of security—a thing to be sigor-usly guarded against as imminently perilous to Hfe and helpful to the slow enemy.

In deference, doubtless, to such illustriouse precedents, the Jews became a very "picultory people. The kiss as the check, as a mode of salutation, or as a mark of respect or cubjection, became customary among them in common with all Eastern peoples.
The "holy kiss" and the "kiss of charity are especially enjoined by Holy Welt. Nor were the Greeks behindhand in the adoption of this delicate amenity. their great men, a practice still extended to They kissed the bands of Royal fingers and the Papal toe.
Indiscriminate kissing is less prevalent among the English than perhaps any other Europeau nation. The French caress one another upon all momentous occasions, as, for example on the happy conclusion of a duel, after each of the combatsota has done his test to slaughter bis opponent by necessitating his exposure to the cold air in his shirt-sleeves. The Russians also are a very "klasing" people. Their Easter saintation is a kiss, when everyone caresses every« one else on the smallest provocation with warmth suggestive of the traditional hug of the Muscovite hear. Even the austere majesty of the Cast relaxes, and the "Little Father" em braces his family, retinue, Court, and mitendants, his officers on parade and the sentinels on guard, and even a select squadron of private soldiers.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF KISSING.
Spring Is coming, and visions of kisses under the May tres, and under the nose, and under every other conceivable condition, are beginning to inflams the fervent fancy of imaginative youth. So much so, that I think this is a occasion, as the after-dinner speaker not unfre quently observer, on which a few appropriate wouls might be spoken?
We are kissing nation no longer, so our dramatists may afford to mildly salirise the osculatory proclivities of the "poor Parlyvoo."

Then why view of the subject. But unfortunately common hot help yourself? This seems a COMIMÓN-SENSO sense is of no avail in an encounter with an fo- furlated big brother who has more musde than enlightenment, and whose hoots are as thick as ble bead.

To begin with. What is a Klis? Most of us have some sort of impressien, though we might get care to undertake to define one; perbaps from a subtle conviction that it is a thing so indescribably turns that it defies analveis. Nor, so far as we know, is there really sathafretery and comprehensive definition of a kis extant. The exdemical mind has tackled the problem, but with no conspicuous, success. Once a mathematician defined a kiss to be "the approach of two coves having the asme bend as far as the point of consci Unimpeachable, perhaps, from a scientific point of but somehow there is a nonse of something smitted, th of sentina, perhaps, bring of rapture. It is no comprehensive enough, in fact not sufficiently embracing, But it may be Professor Dryandust conducted bis kissing researches by deputy, and not in propria persona
This reminds me of the dictum of a much mare practical searcher after truth. Josh Billegs, despairing of a satisfactory definition of a kiss, and le nenting that the more s mas attempts to analyse it the more be can't, boldly declares that the best way to define a kine is to take one.
