A Kissing Match.

At a 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 girl" the most kisses. Various
were the replies this question called
out. Finally young man and the
girl to whom he was betrothed bet
forty dollars that they could kiss
10000 times in ten hours, provided
they would be allowed to take glass
of wine "between." Two persons
were appointed committee to count
the number of kisses, and the work
began. During the first hour they
counted 1000 kisses. During the
second hour the kisses were not
nearly as numerous, for the commit
tee only counted 1000. After the
third hour, during which they man
aged to score but $50, further opera.
tions were brought to sudden stand
still. The lips of the young man
were seized with cramp, and he was
carried off in a fainting condition.
The girl, few days later, was strik-
en- with brain fever, which nearly car
ried her off. When the people who
had won the bet demanded their
money the parents of the girl refused
to pay her share OF it. The matter
was then taken to the courts, and
there it was decided that the bets
must be paid.

To Preserve Strawberries.

Strawberries to be preserved
should be large and ripe, but not at
all soft. They will keep best if gath.
cred when there has been no rain for
at least two days. Having hulled
them, select the largest and finest,
and spread them ous separately On
fiat dishes, having first weighed them,
and allowed to each pound of fruit a
pound of powdered loaf sugar. Sift
half the sugar over them. Then take
the inferior strawberries that were
left and those that are over-ripe; mix
with them an equal quantity of gran.
ulated sugar and mash them. Put
them into a deep dish or stone jar,
and set them in pan OF boiling wa
ter till they become thick juice.
Strain it through bag, and mix with
it the other half of the sugar that you
have allotted to the strawberries
which are done whole. Put 1t into a
porcelain kettle, and boil and skim
it till the scum ceases to rise; then
put in the whole strawberries, with
the sugar in which they have been ly-
ing, and all the juice which may have
exuded from them. Set them over
the fire in the syrup, just long enough
to heat them little, and in a few
minutes take them out and spread on
dishes to cool, not allowing them to
touch each other. Take off what
scum may arise from the additional
sugar. Repeat this several times.
taking out the strawberries and cool
ing them till they become quite clear.
They must not be allowed to boil.
When quite cold, put them with the
syrup into tumblers or jars, and cover
with paper. The addition of pint
of currant juice and pound of
sugar will be a great Improvement,
both to the flavor and color of the
syrup. This may be considered, and
| admit is, tedious way of doing
strawberries, but it pays, both in
beauty of appearance and in the ex-
quisite flavor which the fruit retains.

Take three and a half gallons OF
cold water, three gallons of cider,
and three gallons OF strawberries.
Let them terment. Add to them
eight pounds of sugar, one and one
half ounces of red tartar, finely
powdered, the juice and rind of one
lemon, and one quart of handy. This
will make nine gallons of wine. The
fruit should be picked when there
have been two or three days of clear,
dry weather, and it should also be
bottled when the atmosphere is clear
and fine. The bottles should be per-
fectly sound and clean, and the corks
new. The corks should be fitted in
the necks of the bottles, with the
hand, and then driven in with NAL.

the necks of the bottles, so as to

inch. The bottles must be laid on
their sides in sawdust, in a cool airy

A Broken Hearted Maiden.

George Francis Train lectured be-
fore house full of women at the
Newark Opera House. He read a
long note received from "a broken
hearted maiden,' asking Mr.. Trans
advice in her trouble. Her accepted
lover was poor in purse, and her par
ents would not let her marry him.
"a broken hearted maiden !" said
Mr.. Train. 'oTisn't the heart-it's
the stomach. The reason the girls
use the term heart is because it is
easy to get ryme for it-and SO
hard to get one for the stomach.
Dyspepsia is called broken heart.
Here's one couple to be married"
and Mr.. Train personifed the priest,
saying: care you willing to take
this brown stone-tront, this misera-
BILE fraud called man, this tobacco
favored, gin-smelling carcass for
your beloved husband? p Then with
a shipper, Mr.. Train responded eyes"
for the bride. Turning to the sup.
posed bridegroom he said fiercely:
"And will you take this bunch of
millinery, these false teeth, this false
hair, this miserable specimen of affec.
ton, for your beloved wife ?" The
bridegroom said sYeso through the
speaker, and then Mr.. Train blurted
out: "What man has put together,
let the next best man run away
with !"

LILLIAN LEE.

Written for The Florida Agriculturist
oh have YOU seen that orange tree,
The care OF gentle Lillian Lee I?
Its snow white blossoms rich perfume
Excel the roses sweetest bloom,
1t stands beside her choicest seat
And shields her from the noontide hea;t
And this repays, in part, her care
And labor of her hands so fair.
Oh would that might thus receive
Her smile at noon, her thought at eve;
How gladly would I spend my life
To shield her from the worlds fierce
strife.
Oh Lillian Lee, fair Lillian Lee!
Nv yearning heart goes out to thee.
Reward for all life's toll would be
Thy smile and love, fair Lillian Lee.

Courtesy in Business.
From the Christian Week.

From the Christian Week.
AS we paid our four cents for a
paper in the Office of our largest
daily, the other morning, pleasant
"Thank you," from the clerk, greeted
us. We have thought much about
it since. We should not have
thought it discourteous if our money
had been taken mechanically; four
cents is a small sum. But it was
very much pleasanter as it was, and
the little incident set us to thinking
OF the subject we have put in the
head of this article.
Would it not be much better all
round if there were more courtesy
introduced in our business dealings :?
We go into some shops and offices
where their seems to be the most
utter Indifference whether your wants
are supplied or not. We sometimes
meet officials on railways or steam
boats who are almost brutal in their
manner, as il a gold band around the
cap gave them the right to be inso-
AOho duO ONCiUCdIluS. AHu Cucu we
find others quite the reverse, ready
to answer civil questions civilly, and
to promote the comfort OF those who
are temporarily under their care. 1t
is needless to say that a little cour-
tesy goes great way in making
things smooth and agreeable.
This lesson of courtesy is one, it
seems to us, that young persons en-.
tering in any capacity upon bust
ness life ought to learn. There need
be nothing fawning or simpering
about it. 1t is the best when thor
oughly manly or womanly. But it
certainly is most easily acquired in
youth, and 1t will stand its possessor
in good stead in after years. The
courteous clerk will rightly be the
tavorite clerk. We know that the
homely old proverb is, in one sense,
true, "that fine words butter no pars.
