r The Success of our Removal Sale Has far exceeded our expectations, and we feel very grateful to those who by their purchases, are reducing to a minimum our arduous undertaking. It is one of the few cases on record of mutual benefit, for while it lightens our burden in gmovins;, it gires to our patrons such values as they had never been accustomed to before. Each day since the inaugura? tion of this sale, has brought us larger crowds than the preceding ones, the only explanation being that it is becoming i / thoroughly understood that we are doing exactly what we said we would, I i Selling Ever y thing at Cost. f It mattiers not whether you want Dress Goods, Trimmings, Domestics, Flannels, Blankets, Underwear, Hosiery, Shoes, .Clothing, Hats or Groceries, the rule applies the same and our positive instructions to salesmen in the various depart? ments are Sell Everything at Actual Cost. Some of our departments are very much depleted, particularly our Dress Goods, Cloaks and Clothing, but when you consider that on January 1st we had $30,000 worth of goods, it is reason? able to suppose there still remains a number of EXCELLENT VALUER j Do not defer your visit until it is too late, as you may find some one else has just bought what you wanted. With us it is a case of "First Come, First Served." While we are very busy we are not unmindful of the fact that this is the season of the year when it suits Our Farming Friends To make their arrangements, purchase fertilizers, and prepare for another year's crop, and we want them to distinctly understand that we "are never too busy to serve them, as it is upon them we largely expect to depend in the future, as they have been our mainstays in the past.

' ORIGIN OP KISSING. BarBwell People. According to Prof Caesar Lom broso, the distinguished Italian crim? inologist, kissing is quite a modern practice and originated \v a very curious manner The kiss, as a token of affection, was unknown to the Greeks, and neither in Homer nor in Herodotus do we find any mention of it Hector did not kiss his Andro mache when be bade her farewell ; neither did Paris press bis lips to those of the beautiful Helen, and Ulysses, who was more of a cosmo poiitan than any man of bis day, oever dreamed of kissing the en chanting Circe, and when, after long wanderings, he returned home to his spouse, Penelope, he satisfied bim pelf by putting one of his stalwart arms around ber waist and drew her to bim. The people of Terre del Fuego, 88ys Lombroso, have taught civilized nations the origin of the delightful art of kissing Drinking vessels are unknown in that country, and the people, when they are thirsty, simply lie down beside the brooks and drink the water as it flows by them It is evident, however, that infants could not satisfy their thirst in this prlrai live fashion, aud, therefore, their mothers have for ages supplied them with water by filling their own mouths first and then letting it pas6 through their lips into the expectant mouths of the little ones In some places the banks of the rivers and ! brooks are so high that water cannot be obtained in the usual way, and the I mothers in such places draw it up through long reeds Birds feed their young ones in a j similar manner. They Sr9t fill their j 'own mouths wilh water and then j j transfer it to the wide open mouths j j of the little ones This very ancient j j maternal practice is, according to i i Lombn.so, the only source to which j J the modern practice of kissing can I J be trucrd The custom ol preying! j one mouth to another originated with ! ? the women in Terre del Fuego, who I ! could only supply their infants with j j drink in this manner, and it is pre j j eumable that they learned the lesson ? j from the birds Finally wo are told j that kissing is an evidence of atavism ] j and a memorial of that early stage in j jour development, '"during which' the wife had not yet triumphed over the mather, nor love over muterniiy 7" I Lombroso"s views on this subject j I my-* tho New York Herald meet j i willi the tr?nerai approval of scient-l ? i st's, though there aro some who point out that this explanation of tho orgii: of kissing is not in accordance w;ili the one handed down to us by j th** old Romans These latter main ! tain that the kiso was invented by huabirids, who desired to ascertain in this way whether daring their absence from home their wives bad been drinking their wine or net Kodol Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat.
