tigern in the imported alute, Though the
Saxon statistics are not probably exttet, it
is historical that in England, not so many,
years ago, it would have boon tho impera-
tive duty of a visitor to have kissed all the
ladies of tho household, even without pre -
liens aormaintanoe. Such was the experi.
once of many surprised ltterary foreigners,
notably Erasmus,
The contemporary drama shows the usage
to have lasted into the Georgian era, and it
is to be noticed that the perforinanee was
generally called mo "salute," sometimes
" the salute."
The history of the early, Christian church
affords instsuction on this topic. At first
the kiss was an adopted sign of fellowship
—" Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss"
(I; Them, v., 26). It early passed into cere-
mony, as the kiss of peace gtven to a newly
baptized convert, and in celebrating the Eu-
charist. But, as it was fennel to have some
qualities not adaptodto religious and spirit-
ual use between the sexes, it was ordered
that:only mon should kiss =wand women

The awkwardness of this praotice'op .per
haps the experience of promiscuous kissIng
even when limited twthe same, sex, as
liable to convey contegiottediseases, induc-
ed another amendment, by which the cere-
monial kiss in the Roman churchwas only
passed between the ministrants, and a relic
or cross called the osoulatorium calm svas
passed to the people for their lips, .
It may perhaps be suggested that 01 0
reason f or the very long delay in the prac-
tice of the mutual kiss was in the general
use by one or both of tho sexes of nose -rings
or labrets,,either of which would prevent
the approximation requisite. If such use be
not admitted as a cause sofficiens, it at least
affords evidence that the kiss was not ous.
tomary among the people by whom nose -
rims and labrets wore worn. Indeed, Pi of.
Dalt gives instances where, la:trots being
oommoo and the kias unknown, the tongues
are protruded in affectionate salute.
Tho kiss of the hand is undoubtedly an•
oient, and therefore is not derived from that
of the lips, but probably the converse is
true. The hand kiss is loosely assert04 to
be developed from servile obeisances in
which the earth, tho foot and the garments
wore kissed, the hand and cheek succeeding
in order of time and approach to equality of
sank.
But 11 10 doubtful if Oat was the actual
order, and it is certain that at the time
when hand -kissing began there were less
numerous gradations of rank than at a later
stage.
Kissing of the hands between num is men-
tioned in the Old Testament, also by Homer,
Pliny and Lucian., The,,kiss was anPliod re-
verently to sacred objeots, ouch as otatues
of the gods, as shown by ancieut works of
art, and also among anmeot etymologists, by
that of the Latin word adore; and. 11 1005
also metaphorically applied by the ipferior
or worshipper kissing his own hand and
throwing the solute to the superiov or statue.
In republican Rome the kissing of the
hands of superiors was common, liut the
greeting Was mere energetic than the em-
perors could endure, and mon courtiers of
even important ataticn were compelled to
kneel and with the right hand carry the hem
of the emperor's robe to their lips.
Even this became a too precious, or,
through proximity, a too dangerous privi-
lege, and they were allowed to salute at a
distanoo by kissing their own hands as when
they adored the gods. The sign of
Rome's decadence has survived in the local-
ity.
Tho mouth kissing the hand, by whioh
Job described a species of idolatry, is a

practice has ceased it survives, in phrases.
