A New Way to Raise Money.

Many peculiar methods have been
adopted to obtain the needed cash
but the following account of a
kissing Fair" from the Rome
(Ga.) Courier, shows that method
has been discovered that will never
fail to raise the 'needful' ifthere is
any of it in the community.
KISSING FAIR
If any had supposed it would
turn out the way it did, the scheme
would not have been adopted, but
the object was charitable one and
the Committee on Invitation were
very careful to avoid the presence
of any disagreeable or unpopular
person. The following price-lists
were finally adopted. For one go
as-you-please squeeze of one min
ute, and one kiss-terms cash in

The gentlemen were all gathered
in the dining room and all the Ia
dies in the parlor. In the library
was committee of two-a lady and
gentleman (the latter being time
keeper)-and they called in the
gentlemen, one by one. Each was
shown a schedule of prices and q
list of the ladies present, and when
one selected the lady he wanted te
kiss, she was called in, and the
transaction occurred in the presence
of the Committee. In cases where
the squeeze was prolonged beyono
the schedule time, or an additiona
smack taken, a fine of double price
was charged for every minute in ex
cess. and in several cases the fines
were heavy, but were paid without
a murmur. The whole affair was
confidential, and none but the Com
mittee were to know who klssef

Sleep as a Farm Crop.

society, and in our artificial habits, that sleep
will no longer grow. as a wild plant, and
take care of itself. We must cultivate it We
do corn and potatoes. There is no health
without sound sleep; and thrift on the farm,
as everywhere else, depends largely upon
physical vigor. Sleep is powerful medicine.
which helps to cure rritability Of temper,
peevishness. unessiness Of any kind, like ner-
vous dyspepsia. 1t is good for broken spirit.
We might change the hymn little. without
damage, and sing, Earth has no sorrow that
sleep can not cure Sleep, to be perfect,
and restorative. should be prepared for. that
not a single discomfort should interrupt it.
We should get ready for it just as We pre-
pare for days work-haye the tools all
ready and every hindrance removed"
We'll, how are YOU going to get it when
it don't come ?" inquired Mrs Bunker.
1T will come" continued the Doctor, ''if
you get ready for it, like any other vel
coined guest The sleeping room, If possi-
bic, should be in the most quiet part of the
house, above the first story. well summed and
ventilated, with as little furniture as possible
in it-conseerated to sleep. Put away your
feather beds and eomfortables, as unfriendly
aids to sleep. and wood bedsteads and bed
cords, with their untimely squeaking. Have
solid iron bedsteads, with sheets and blank

"Doctoring' Farm Animals.

1t is poor practice to be continually dos
ing animals. When We see farmer fire.
quently visiting the drug store for medicines
for his stock, the impression is tha, there is
something radically wrong in his manage
ment. He is the "sick one" and needs the
aid Of good physician-some one to show
him that sickness rarely happens on well
ordered farm that clean, warm stables, and
plenty of good feed, pure water in abun-
dance, ETC., are far better than their oppo-
sites with all the physic that the largest
drug store can supply. Nothing is more
clearly proved than the importance Of care
and keeping of the right sort, for the health
Of farm animals and their profitable growth
and increase. Sickness will sometimes
come with the very best Of management,
and when it does it is better to employ only
skilled hands to cure than to doctor" and
to ''physie" and perhaps kill the valuable an
imal yourself, that under proper treatmen,
might have been saved At q triHing expense.
