KEEP YOUR PROMISE.

A boy borrowed tool from carpen-
ter, promising to return it at night. Be-
fore evening he was sent away on an
GRAND, and did not return until late
Before he went, he was told that his
brother should see to the article re-
turned.
After he had come home and gone to
bed, he inquired, and found that the
tool had not been sent to its owner. He
was much distressed to think his promise
had not been kept, but was pursl1aded
to go 20 sleep, and rise early and carry
1t home next morning.
By daylight he was up, and Nowhere
was the tool to be found. After a long
and fruitless search, ne set off for his
neighbor's III great distress, to acknow-
ledge his fault But how great was his
surprise to find the tool on his neighbors
door-stone! And then it appeared from
the print of his little bare feet in the
mud, that the led had got up in his
sleep and carried the tool home, and
gone to bed again, without knowing it.
OF course boy who was prompt in
his sleep was prompt when awake. He
lived respected, had the confidence OF
his neighbors, and was placed in many
offices of trust and profit.
If all the grown folks felt as this boy
did, there would be good many tracks
of bare feet found some of these bright
mornings; and what piles of tools and
books would be found lying at their
owners doorsi-Parenohgscal Journal.

THE TRUE ARTOF KISSING.

People will kiss, yet not onein hun
dred knows how to extract bliss from love
ly lips, no more than they know how to
make diamonds from charcoal. And yet
it is easy. First know whom you are to
kiss. Don't make mistake, although
mistakes may be good. Don't jump up
like trout for a fly, and smack woman
on the neck, or on the end Of the nose,
OF slop over on her waterfall Or bonnet
ribbon, in haste to get through. The gen
tleman should be little the tallest. He
should have clean face, and kind eye,
mouth full of expression instead of to-
bacco. Don't kiss everything including
nasty little dogs, male or female. Don't
sit down to it. Stand up. Need not be
anxious to get in crowd. Two persons
are plenty to corner and catch kiss.
More persons spoil the sport. Stand
firm. It won't hurt any after you are
used to it. Take the LEFT hand of the
lady in your right hand. Let your hand
go to-any place out of the way. Throw
the left hand gently over the shoulder
Of the lady, and let the hand fall down
upon the right side, toward the belt.
Don't be in hurry. Draw her gently
to your loving heart. Her head Will fall
lightly upon your shoulder, and a hand
some shoulder strap it makes! Don't be
in hurry Send little life down your
left arm, and let it know its business.
Her left hand is in your right. Let
there be an expression to that-not like
the grip of wise, but a gentle clasp, full
of electricity, thought and respect. Don't
be in hurry. Her head lies earelessly
on your shoulder You are nearly heart
to heart! Look down into her half clos.
ed eye! Gently, yet manfully, press her
to your bosom. Stand firm and Provi-
dence will give you strength for the or
deal. Be brave, but do not be in q
hurry. Her lips almost open! lean igh-
thy forward with yonr head, not the
body. Take good aim. The soul rides
the storm, trouble and sorrow Of the lips
meet-the eyes close-the heart opens
life don't be in hurry -heaven opens
before, the world shoots from under
your feet as meteor flashes across the
evening sky don't be afraid, } the nerves
dance before the just created altar of love
as zephyrs dance with the dew trimmed
flowers the heart forgets its bitterness
and the art of kissing is learned. No
noise, no fuss, no futtering and squirm-
ing like hook-impaled worm. Kissing
don't hurt and it don't require brass to
make it legal. Don't jab On beautiful
mouth as if spearing frogs! Do not
muss her hair, scratch down her collar,
bite her cheek, squizzle her rich ribbons
and leave her mussed, rumpled and fun
muxed Don't grab and yank the lady
as if she were struggling colt.

Five Hundred Thousand Years Ago

The New York Nation condenses from
an English scientific periodical some in
teresting speculations Of DR.. Alfred Rus
sell Wallace, of the probable antiquity
of the human species. They may well
startle, it says, even those who have long
come to the conclusion that 5000 years
carry us but small way back to the
original home. In fact, DR.. Wallace's
5000 years are as but day. He reviews
the various attempts to determine the hui
man remains of works of art, and finds
the bronze age in Europe to have been
pretty accurately fixed at three Or four
thousand years ago, the stone age OF the
Swiss lake dwellings, at five to seven
thousand years, ssand an indefinite an
terror period" The burnt brick found
sixty feet deep in the Nile alluvium, in
dicates an antiquity of 10000 years;
another fragment at seventy-two feet
gives 80, 900 years. "a human skeleton
found at the depth of sixteen feet below
four hundred buried forests superposed
upon each other, has been calculated by
DR.. Dowler to have an antiquity OF 81,
600 years. But all these estimates pale
before those witch Kent's cavern at
Torquay legitimates. Here the drip OF

our computations, giving us an upper
floor which divides the relics of the last
two or three thousand years from de-
post full OF bones Of an extinct mannalia
and glutton and indicating an arctic
climate.
Names cut in the stalagmite more than
1000 years ago are legible-in other
words, where the stalagmite is twelve
inches thick and the drip still very
copious, not more than hundredth of a
foot has been deposited in two centuries
"a rate of five feet MO, 600 years be-
low this, however, we have a thick, much
Older, and crystalline Il. e., more SLOW
~ formed) stalagmite, beneath which
again, in solid breccia, very different
from the cave-earth, undoubted works
of art have been found. Mr.. Wallace
assumes only 1000 years for the up
per floor, and 25, 900 for the lower. and
adds 10000 for theTimmediate cave
earth, by which he arrives at the sum of
half million years that have probably
elapsed since human workmanship were
buried in the depths of Kent's Cavern.

A Garbonized Relic Of an 0ld-Time
Forest.

Says the Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise:
Virginia City Coal Company, Ell Dorado
Canyon, Lyon county, has been encoun-
tered the trunk OF d tree four feet in di-
ameter, a lone relic of an ancient and
extinct forrest. Where cut through by
the shaft this old tree is found to be
perfectly carbonized-turned into coal
Outside, the old log is completely crust
ed over with iron pyrites, many of
which are SO bright that the crystals
shine like diamonds. These pyrites
also extend into the body of the log,
filing what were apparently once cracks
or windshakes. and even forming clus-
ters about what was once the heart of
the tree. This relic of an old-time
forest lies far below the two veins of
coal the company is about to open. The
finding of this old trunk is evidence that
the country was at one time, ages and
ages ago, covered by forest of large
trees though the native timber growth,
when the country was first visitsd by
whites, as far back as the Indian tradi-
tons extend, was but a slrubby species
of nut pine. A few miles from the shaft
in which this carbonized tree was found
are to be seen on the surface the petrlti-
ed remains of many large trees. In the
early days of Washoe, before the pro-
spectors had broken them up for speci-
mems, pieces of tree trunks, two OF three
feet in diameter and twenty or thirty
feet in length, were to be seen lying on
the surface of the ground. However,
these trees and even the one found in
the bottom of Tie shaft of the coal mine,
may have come from the foot hills of the
Sierra Nevada mountains have
drifted out when seas of water every
where covered our present valleys. The
water lines visible on our hills show that
the whole country was filled with lakes,
and the petrifed trees lying here and
there on the surface of the ground pro-
badly foated out on the water of the ex-
tlnct lakes, and finally sunk to the bot
tom in places where they now are
found"
