CRUSADE AGAINST THE KISS
-Modern .Science Hea Decreed That It
la Dangerous and Should be
Condemned.
Ktselng la Its modern promiscuity
It pernicious sad should be condemaed
^jadsngerout.
Tyhe custom probably bad Its orlsln
lot la affection, but In ausplcloa. Ia
primitive timet, wben the sense of
smell wes perhaps more acute than
that of sight, bringing the faces to-
gether wes s means ot identification
aad of distinguishing friend from foe.
We hsve now other better developed
senses, psychic end physical, whleh
tell us of friendship, sad hlsslac has
become s mark of affection, rather
then s test of it
It Is not against this that the hy-
list—the sensible one—protects,
it agslnet the mesnlngleee and dsn-
habit of pecking at the lips of
 ry one, especially of the defence-
Infant. It Is really an affront
etranger, or even an ordinary
I. to kiaa a bsby on the lips, snd
ie act ehould be resented.
Kleelag among members of the fam-
ily is bygienlcslly permissible, fortu-
It is of course through the
of bacterls that kissing
ful. But each family has Its
itlcated bacteria, ss It were,
at the same epcclee ss these Inhabit
lac other people, but lomewhat nodi
led by eoostsat Interchange. Against
theee each member of the family Is In
a meaeure Immune. They are like aa
Ut-aatared pet dog that respeete the
afalwi of the household with whleh
ft Uvee, aad will not bite them, but
saape and snarls at strsngera.
Kissing ehould, therefore, be a fam-
ily greeting; for etrsagere or ordinary
frteade the haadehahe suScse. Above
all, the baby's lips eheeld be stored.—

The remarkable faculty which cats,

sess of returning in s straight line to

much curiosity on the part of aatursl-
lets. Some refer It to Instinct, tome
to latelligeaco similar to msa, tome
to ss internal mechanism which
mahea the animal almply automata,
but none ot these sttempted explana-
tions does saythlag toward aolvtag
the myatery. One of our ableet mod*
em sclentlUe writers tuppoeee that
when an snUaal la rsrrled to a great
dlttsaee la a basket ita fright mahea
