in the rectitude Of the purpose thai

The Art OF kissing


We ind the following worldly and
trappy article in the Portland Sunday
Tunes, q paper which is deemed good
on the subject discussed
Never kiss young girl ifshe don't
want you to. The main Ingredient
that makes kissing agreeable is a
willingness on the part Of the female;
if it deepens into anxiety so much
the better. When e girl claws 3
mans hair and scratches his face
like q fool, drop her at once She is
destitute of good taste a1d natural
affection, and the sooner you make
love to her sister the better As
long as a girl don't elav md yeli aud
struggle ike q panther, g. is perfectly
safe to continuing prospecting Get
2 little behind her, pass the rir hJ arm
around the waist in fror jsse the
left, and if you don't know WLat to
do next, go associate Wi;b the boys
in the first ward. IF you are just be-
ginning to teach a sby young girl
who has only been kissed heretofore
By her brothers aud father, touch
your lips gently 10 her forehead
She will take this for an exhibition of
profound respect When that post
ton has been gained, working the
way down to the lips is as natural
and easy as the course Of q log slid
ing down wood fume Never 81;
down to kiss. II locks awkward iG
case anybody is locking, and seems
awkward anyhow Stand up, and
the closer you press the girl the
higher estimate she will place on
your good taste, common sense and
experience.
Kissi2g married ladies is a separ-
ate branch Of the art, and requires
constant practice. Where tenderness
and a little hesitation and bashful-
ness, if well put on, will 60 q long
way with youoG girl, such non
sense is not swallowed BY a married
woman to any considerable extent
Be warm, vigorous, and hearty, and
above all things be frequent One
of the prime requisites on such an
occasion is quick ear for the foot
step in The hall and a nice calcula-
tiou as to how long the husband will
take to reach the head Of the stairs
A house carpeted with brussels re-
quires eternal vigilance and some
times rare presence Of mind By

a Dangerous Irem

We DO not remember in what jour
nal we Grst saw the following ex-
tract as an original item; but as il has
recently been copied withou. com
ment by several contemporaries. a.
tention should be directed to It. The
article states that:
a poison Of any eoneeiya5le DO
tency, which has been Intentionally
or accidentally swallowed, may be
rendered almost harmless by simply
swallowing two gills of sweet oil
An individual with a very strong
constitution should take nearly twice
this quantity This oil will most
positively neutrslize every form Of
poison with which physicians and
chemists are acquainted. "
The idea that sweet oil will neutral
izs such poisOns as prussie acid, nico-
tine, strychnine, curere, and a nos. Of
others less speedy in action. is al
most too absurd 10 demand refuta
ton. In some cases, when taken in
10 The stOmsch 10 large quantities, II
may serve TO involve acid and pois-
onOus substances and mitigate their
action, until the arrival of physi-
clan with specifics shall relieve the
patient from danger; but it is not TO
be used in all cases, for its admins
tratlon, for instance, Immediately af-
ter the swallow Of q corrosive
mineral acid, such as oil Of vitriol,
would be followed by most fearful re-
suits.
As the great multitude Of poiso1s
known to the physician and chemist
are classified according 10 their var
led mode Of action on the animal
economy, it is evident that the meth
cd Of treatment in cases Of poisoning
must likewise vary. There can be
no one specific for all.
1t is 10 be hoped that no one will be
simple enough to try this antidote,
for if he does the absurd person who
penned the quoted statement may

the graves Of the dead. She had no
flowers, nor money to purchase any.
