From Noah's N. Y. Times and Mes
sanger we take the following questions
aud answers:
QUEsTIoN-whRt meaning have kiss
es given on different parts of the facef
AHSwHR-A kiss on the forehead is
one OF respect, and kiss ON the cheek
is one of regard, but a kiss on the lips
is one of affection.
OUESTIoS-'.What does Pan -Angli-
can mean, and what does the Pan-An-
glican Council now held in London
meet for?"
ANswER-Pdn is Greek word siRni-
fyinR all, and anglican means English.
The Pan Anglican Synod or Council is
n meeting OF all the bishops of the En-
glish or Episcopalian Church. Some
eighty bishops are present atit, and its
ostensible purpose is to settle certain
difficulties in the church, and perhaps
bring about n rdpprOGchnleRt, or Hp-
proclamation of the Anglican and the or
thodox Russian churches. The Synod
has already adopted and issued an ad-
dress "condemning HatioDalism, Pope
ry, and Mariolary, and seeking to pro-
mote unity III the Church" Respect
ing "RituaIism" or the "Ritualists," "
il does not appear that anything is to be
done, one way OF the other. This Is II
great point gained for the Ritunlists,
who only want 10 he let alone.
QUESTIOH-'Can my husband NwhO
has been IL drunkard for several years,
but is resolved to reform) cease TO take
liuuor all at once, or must he gradually
give it up? Which is the safest plan Z
Some Tell one thing and some another.
What is your opinion
ASswER-It has always been our
opinion that it would be useful to alb
stain from it wholly. and at once, with
out substituting some other stimulant;
but DIR. Day, the Superintendent of the
Binghampton Inebriate Asylum, takes
IA very different view. he says, in Il re-
Gently published letter, that he has
treatedt two thousand fivehundred cases
of inebriety during the past ten years,
and that when he began to practice he
held the theory that liquor could not
with safety be entirely Withdrawn from
the ha abiIual drinker, but he soon found
this to be a grave error, and abandoned
it in toto. Absolute abstinence Will
cure the inebriate, he Insists, and that
nothing short of it will keep him cured
after he is raised up from a life of ine-
briefly and degradation.
QUEsrIoN-Is il proper, when you
pass YOUR plate at the table, to lay your
knife and fork on the side of the plate,
or take them of and lay them on the
table?
ANswER-Etiquette sometimes en-
dorses both habits; but the better one is
to place your knife and fork in the
plate and let all be removed together.

of life took kindred but less consid-
cradle elevation. Our city stood as if
besieged till spring relieved her; and it
was much the same every winter.
Mechanics and lAborers lived a while
on the scanty savings of the preceding
summer and autumn; then on such
credit as they could wiring from grocers
and landlords, till the milder weather
brought them work again, The earn
ings of good mechanics did not aver
age eight dollars per week in 1872,
while they are now double that sum;
and living is not twice as dear as 1t
then was. Meat may possibly bei but
bread is not; fuel is not; clothing is not;
while travel is cheaper; and our street
cars have enabled working men to live
two or three miles from their work
without serious cost or Inconvenience;
thus bringing Yorkville or Green
Point practically as near to Maiden
Lane or Broad street or the Eleventh
Ward was. Winter is relatively dull
now, but not nearly so stagnant as it
formerly was. In spite of an inflated
currency and high taxes, 1t is easier
now for a working man 10 earn his
living in New York than it Was thirty

A remarkable swimming Ieat occur

we have no reason to doubt them.
"Truth is stranger than dcuon." A

at Menomone, and while there got
into "A fight, during which he WIS set
upon, by six men, who beat him un-
mercifully, cutting his head in a fear

eyes. and very near killing him. 10
save his life he escaped from the house
and plunged into the river. The Me-
nomoue House is mile above here, on
the Wisconsin shore, but II WAS q race
for life, and he struck out boldly for
the Iowa shore, after divesting himself
of his boots, pants and coat while in the
water. Taking his money, some $50,
from his pocket before leaving ms
pants, he grasped 1t firmly in one hand
and swan down the stream, landing at
RhOmberg's distillery, mile distant,
with nothing on his person but shirt
and hat. f.t.
Arriving there nearly exhausted, he
procured pair of pants from Work
man and came TO this city for medical
treatment, which was rendered py Dfs.
STABLES aud Phillips. He was intoxi-
Gated and fell asleep while stitches
were being taken in his wounds. His
money WAS wet, but in good state OF
preservation, and after being patched
up he WAS sent to Jess boarding. house
for further repairs, the most needtnl OF
which WAS u quiet nights rest and re-
cover from his debauch. A drunken
man sometimes performs wonders; so
does a man when in fear OF his life. If
he had been sober it is doubtful II he
would ever have undertaken the Teat OF
swimming a mile In his under gar
ments, with II clenched list. A Tempe
rate man would have gone to the bot
tom before going half that distance.
