success. II says; "Ehere is but
one man in New York, the State
from which every question Of

conditions, and that man is 1Ioratio
Seymour. 1t simply becomes n
question now as to whether Sey-

Don't Kiss the Babv.

Everybody is expected to kiss the
baby. The timid little girl who shrinks
from the proffered oscillation is order
ed by her parents to kiss the visitor.
The visitor has q slight or severe sore
throat. The diphtheric germs are con-
veyed to the lips of the reluctant child
and find Judgment in the throat. A
violent attack Of diphtheria results and
spreads, through the family usually by
the same direct infection. The heart
broken mother bows her head to the in
scrutable dispensations of Providence,
and wonders why her darling should be
taken-her darling, whom she had
kept at home safely guarded against
all exposure. The doctor talks learnedly
about sewer gas and bad water-and
these may be the vehicle but never the
origin Of the contagion-but the fatal
disease was impaired through the lips
of that thoughtless visitor. Many wise
mothers will not permit strangers or
friends to kiss the children. Their ex-
ample should be followed. Under the
motto, God bless our home should be
suspended another, Don't kiss our
children If indiscriminate kissing
were only nasty it might be tolerated,
but as it may be, and often is deadly, it
should be abolished.o

other evening the boy came into the
room with it, and asked his father to
play somthing on it by way Of instruc-
ton. "What shall I playp Old Hun
dredr" That vas agreed to, and the
professor whacked away, and when
through handed the harp to the boy
who, in his matter-of-fact way, replied,
why, that was only ninty-six." He
thought the name of the tune meant so
many strokes. "Old Ninty-six" would
not be q bad name for the historic tune
as it is often sung in churches.
