The Kiss Of Peace.

Fishwives and other market women
have long enjoyed a reputation for tru-
culence of speech and manner, not only
in England but in most parts of the
world. a Russian Colonel, who has late
lv been appointed Chief Police Master of
one of the most popular towns of The Bal
tic Provinces, has hit upon novel but
truly Oriental plan for the civilization OF
these charitable DANES. He knew that
preaching a moral HON ly would be ofno
use whatever where the hearers were two
women who we're cursing one another at
the rate of 100 words minute, who were
only prevented from tearing one another
faces by the strong arm OF the police

of the new Magistrate in every case of

He knew very we'll tnat although kiss

Russians, il is not much IN use with the
women of Muscoyy. least of all with
tishwives. Tie excited ladies were bur

and without the presenees of witnesses,
the fishwives were Informed that they
must repeat the kiss publicly in the
open market place. A small
fine was the taken from each, and they
marched out into the mercantile areopa-
gus, and were then compelled, in the
midst of their sisters in trade, to kiss

Not a Case of Suicide.

There was a picnic In Eby's Grove,
near DAYTON, Ohio, one day recently.
Some Of the young men wandered down
the river. In a secluded nook they dis
covered 8 pile Of female clothing, they
looked into the river for signs of life or
death but saw nothing. A newspaper
reporter of the party took down all the
surroundings, rummaged among the
clothes, and found there were several sets
or suits of them, little and big. In one
of the pockets lore letter wae found,
written by Hal to Julia. The clothing
was tenderlv bundled up and taken to
the picnic camp, stuffed und II buggy
seat, and the party started home feeling
very sad 1t did not occur to them at
once that it was little strange young
woman and two or three little girls
should commit suicide all at once. 1t
was perhaps Julia and her little sisters
who had thus plunged into eternity. 1t
was very sad case all agreed--disap-
pointed love perhaps-and on the theory
of suicide The love letter would be u
coed thing for the account. Tie clothes
were taken to the police office. The re-
porter was satisfied that he had good
thing. The account was read evidently.
for early in the morning an angry father
came raging into the police quarters de-
handing the clothes. His daughter had
taken walk on the river bank with two
or three little neighbor girls, and the
place being secluded and the temperature
warm, and the water inviting, they con-
cluded to take bath. Soon they heard
voices in the woods, and hid themselves
in the bushes. They huddled together
as quiet az mice until the intruding
Young men had come and gone-gone

etc, and Is taxed in iwo states. The line
between Tennessee and Virginia is the
centre of Main street, and 1t gives rise
to many funny scenes; as, for example,
the runaway couple need no coach and
four, but, arm in arm, step across Nam
street and are welded. The fugitive
commits crime in Virginia, goes to the
payment on the other side of the street,
and talks defantly to the sfficer on the
opposite side, who has warrant for his
arrest. A misstep or too bold DISPOSE

Fishes from Volcanoes.

Fishes are found in very curious places,
where they are in no danger from boys
with rod and line. They live in great
numbers in lakes in the Mammoth
Cave, in kentucky: and. as no light ever
reaches them, they are without eyes. In
other caves, however, in similar dark
ness, they have very good eyes, though
have no occasion t. use them. In bor-
ing for artesian wells in the great Desert
of Sahara, the engineers struck stream
lowing hundreds of feet under ground,
and the stream was full of fishes, as per-
fectly formed every way as fish in com
mon rivers or lakes.
Bu- the most extraordinary place In
find fishes is in q volcano. Fire and wa
ter don't mix very readily; but somehow
fishes get into a volcanic crater, and cote
out of It very rapidly, without swim
ming or leaping. Two hundred or more
years ago the volcano Imbavura, peak
of the Andes, burst out with violent

How Not Bore.


None of the books Of etiquette that we
have yet read give prescriptions which
will cure the tendency which most of US
have to bore other people. The reason
is that none of us suspects he is CT can
be bore under any possible combina-
ton of circumstances. The supposition
is so Wild and Absurd as to be discounte-
nanced at onee. And yet so often are we
bored by othet people that it would only
be reasonable for us to conclude that we
too mi ght sometimes place ourselves in
the same unenvlable light. To know
when to come and when TO 90, when to
be silent and when to speak, what TO say
and how 10 say it, to be properly aware
how to express those thousand little tones
and acts which endear one, it is difficult
to explain precisely how, is either nst-
ural gift or an art obtainable after long
years of training. Yet he who is not
master of these things will run the risk
some time or other OF being considered a
nuisance We all ought to learn how not
to bore We owe it to our neighbora as well
as to ourselves. tits knowledge we exact
from them. If they do not betray it We
ell personally aogrieTed and are apt to
C, rsider them, for time, our enemies.
One certain way of not boring IS never
to give people to much of our company
I his is rule difficult to observe. There
are times when we are too ready to believe
that our friends want us more than they
realty do. We take their profestations
literally, and when they say they could
live with US for ever and day, we posi-
lively give them the day. THIS Is a great
mistake. Probably six hours of the day
would have been quite sufficient. But We
are unwilling to belitve that our faseina-
tions are so weak as not to stand longer
trial, and yielding TO that weak prejudice
in our own favor we become unmiligable
bores. 1t would be well ii we could mold
the hand glass up to our failings in this
respect and see ourselves as we really are.
