? 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 oar arduous undertaking. It is one of the few cases on record of mutual benefit, for while it lightens our burden in oving, it gives to our patrons such values as they had never been accustomed to before. Each day since the inaugura ion of this sale, has brought us larger crowds than the preceding ones, the only explanation being that it is becoming thoroughly understood that we are doing exactly what we said we would, . Selling Everything at Cost. It mattters not whether you want Dress Goods, Trimmings, Domestics, Flannels, Blankets, Underwear, Hosiery, Shoes, lothing, 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 VALUES. 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 faot that this is the season of the year when it suits Our Farming Friends Sl'o 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 OF KISSING. Barawell People. According to Prof Caesar Lorn broso, the distinguished Italian crim inologist, kissing is quite a modern practice and originated its a very ourious manner The kiss, as a tokeo of affection, was unknown to the Greeks, and neither in Homer nor in Herodotos do we find any mention of it Hector did not kiss hie Andro msche 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 politan than any man of bis dsy, never dreamed of kissing the en I cbsnttng Circe, and when, after loog wanderings, he returned home to bia spouse, Penelope, he satisfied him self by putting one of bis stalwart arms around her waist and drew her to bim. The people of Terre del Fuego, says LombroBO, have taught civilized nations the origin of the deligbtfnl art of kissing Drinking vessels are unknown in that country, and tbe people, when they are thirsty, simply lie down beside the brooks and drink the water as tt flows by them It is evident, however, that infants could not satisfy their thirst in thfs primi live fashion, and, therefore, their mothers have for ages supplied them with water by filling their own mouths tret and then letting it pass through their lips into the expectant r*? "ths of the little ones In some pi..ces the banks of the rivers and brooks are so high that water cannot be obtained in the usual way, and the mothers in such places drew it up through long reeds Birds feed their young ones in a Similar manner. They first fill their o a n m< utlis with water and then transfer it to the wide open mouths of the little ones This very ancient tnstertiHl practice is, according to Lombn.no, the only source to which the modern practice of kissing can be traced The custom of pressing one mouth to another originated with the women in Terre del Fuego, who could only supply their infants with drink in this manner, and it is pro sumahle thai they learned the lesson from the birds Finally we are told that kissing is an evidence of atavism and a memorial of that early stage in our development, "during which the wife had not yet triumphed over the mother, nor love over maternity M | Lombroso's views on this subject j nays the New York Ueraid ihm" with the general approval of Beiern? | isiw. I hough there are some who point out that this explanation of the orgiu of kiaaing is not in acoordance wiih the one handed down to ua by the old Romans Those latter main tain that the kisn wus invented by husbands, who desired to ascertain in this way whether daring their absence from home their wives bad be?n drinking tbeir wine or net PARKER RYE NONE NONE PURER, III BETTER.
