A Kissing Match.

At party of young people in Paris,
conversation happened TO turn on the
subject of kissing, and the question
was propounded who of the young men
present could boast of having given or
being able to give ''his grip the most
kisses Various were the replies this
question called out. Finally young
man and the girl to whom he was be-
trothed bet 200 francs that they could
kiss 10000 times in ten hours, provided
they would be allowed to take an Occa.
sional glass OF wine between" Two
persons were appointed committee to
count the number Of kisses, and the
work began. During the first hour they
ct united 1000 kisses. During the second
hour the kisses were not nearly as nu-
merous, for the committee counted only
900. After the third hour, during
which they managed to score but 100,
further operations were brought to a
sudden standstill. The lips of the young
man were seized with cramp, and he
was carried of in fainting condition.
The girl a few days later was stricken
with brain fever, which nearly carried
her of to a land where kissing under
any form is unknown. When the ptOple
who had won the bet demanded their
money the parents of the girl refused to
pay their share of it. The matter was
then taken to the courts, and there i
was decided that the bet must be paid

A Man Gets II Wife After He is Dead.

lFrom the Philadelphia North Amrrican
The appeal of the Fidelity Insurance
Company from the decree Of the old Com
mon Pleas Court raises curious point.
In 1863 a libel in divorce was filed by
James " Peterson against his wife,
Sarah Peterson on account of desertlon.
The proceedings went on, and in 1865 a
divorce was decreed. Somewhere about
the 9th of November, 1877, James V.
Peterson was drowned in the Potomac,
In January, 1873, the Fidelity Insurance
Company was appointed administrator
of the estate of the decedent, and the
next month the company was served
with a writ to show cause why the di-
vorce granted thirteen years before
should not be set aside, and Sarah Peter
son be decreed his wife. In December OF
the same year the rule was made abso-
lutte, and once more Sarah Peterson was
Mrs. Peterson. The grounds ofopenlng
the decree were, according to her state
ment, that thedivorce had been obtain"d
without her know edge; that it is true
she was away from him at the time he
brought proceedings in divorce, but that
it was by his direction, she living at her
mothers house by his request. She
alleges that she received letters from
him during her absence, in which he
called her his wife, and that after the
time when the divorce was granted she
lived and cohabied witt, him, and that
she never heard of any proceedings in
divorce until after her husbands death.
The court, In setting aside the decree OF
divorce, protected those who had pur-
chased real estate from Peterson in the
interim, by providing that Sarah should
record a release OF dover of all those
properties: An appeal was taken to the
Supreme Courtby the Fidelity Company,
as administrators of Peterson's estate.
They argue that the only purpose OF
Mrs Peterson is to obtain possession OF
the property left by decedent, and that
the testimony did not show that she
was absolutely unacqusinted with the
oceedings against her.

The Network of London Railways.


1t will rather startle the metropolitan
reader who thinks of the various rail
ways in and under and around London
as the simplest and most ordinary
means of locomotion, to be told that the
rails used by the companies within
radius Of six miles of Charing Cross
would form single line from London
to John O'Groat's house, a distance of
75O miles. This estimate does not in
clude the rails in bays and sidings, but
it includes all double, treble or quad
ruple tracks. Leaving all duplicate
lines aside the incredible number of 260
miles of railway is in daily opera ion
within the metropolitan district. From
Hendon and the Alexandria Palace on
the north to Penge and Streatham on
the south, from Forest Gate and Wool
wich on the east to Acton and Willesden
on the west, thirteen different companies
hold sway, not including the East Lon.
don, whose line is worked by another
com pany. There are also six short lines
varying from four and three-quarter
miles to one mile in length, owned and
worked by the companies jointly. The
Brighton Company owns the greatest
mileage in the me.ropolis-thirty seven
miles. 1t is closely run by the Great
Eastern with thirty-twO. Then comes the
London and Southwestern with twenty
seven the London, Chatham and Dover
and Northwestern follow with twenty
four each. So far as using the lines is
concerned, the London and Northwest
ern run over more than onefourth of
the whole metropolitan system. The
trains of this great company use the
lines of five other companies, practically
adding forty-four miles to their own
system. The Great Northern has run
ming powers over the lines of six com
panies, embracing thirty-six miles. The
mixed nature of the metropolitan system
is apparent in the fact that over the
London, Chatham and Dover Railway
five companies run their trains. The
Metropolitan Company's lines are open
to four companies. The Southeastern
alone uses no other lines, though it has
running powers over the East Lon
don. If we add to this astonishing
system of locomotion the seventy miles
Of tramways now open, the omnibuses
which carelessly traverse the metropolis
from one end to the other, the thousands
of cabs, the passenger steamers which
play on the river, the magnitude of the
means daily employed by the people of
London in getting from one part OF the
" New Babylon" to another will strike
the observant mind. With all this vast
traffic the injuries of life and limb, save
in the cases of street accidents, are com
paratively few. With trains flying
above ground and under ground, over
complicated points and through crowded
functions, collisions seldom occur and
seldom result in loss of life.
