/. Sober. ........... II Dead Drunk
SoBR1srY,-The sober moments
which Immediately succeed to dinner
are the most miserable in existence.
The languor, the sense Of utter indica-
cy, mental and bodily, are dreadful.
After few glasses, you ascend the
first step Of the pyramid, and become
comfortable. In this state you are not
much disposed to talk. There is a
tranquil luxury in your feelings, and a
reverie comes on, which, if you drink
no more, is likely to terminate in sleep.
A philosopher seldom passes this
point, except in company.
Drink on, and you step up to lively.
| Now you begin to talk, and your re-
marks are smart and pertinent. You
have the reasoning power in. high per-
fection. This may be considered a. =
mental aurora, announcing that the
scene cf fancy is about to rise from
! the "purpie wazes."
FREsn-There Is more fire and COL
or in your ideas now, for the sun has
risen. You grow more eloquent and
less logical. Your jokes are capital
in your own estimation. Your prseep-
tions still tolerably clear, beyond your.
self.
VERY FRRs,1-Your conversation
is more and more highly colored.
Your eioquence is impassioned, and
you overwhelm your companions with
food of talk. You begin to suit the
elton to the word. Ideas not quite
coherent, but language still tolerably
distinct and correct. z-.s.
TlpsY.- Now on the top Of the pyr-
amid, you begin to grow giddy. Ges
tsres very vehement, and epithets msch
exaggerated. Argumsntatlve, but not
rational. Words considerably abridg.
ed, and ideas lsmentably obscursd.
Very TlpsY. - You find ont that you
have turn for vocal music, and reg.le

FINED FOR KISSING.

In 1924 trial took place in Connec-
ticut, under the Section of the blue laws
prohibiting kissing. The offenders were
Sarah Tuttle and Jacob Newton. 1t
appears that Sarah dropped her gloves
and Jacob found them. When Sarah
asked for them Jacob demanded a kiss
for his pay, and as the demand did not
seem extravagant, t, she adjusted it forth
with. The fact was clearly proved, and
the parties were each fined twenty shil-
lings.
1t the same law was in force at the
present time, the huge National debt
woald be paid off in less than one year.
