SUBSTITUTES FOE KISSING.

Some rude races have strange substi,
tutes for kissing. Of a Mongol father a
traveller writes "He smelltd from time
to time the head of his youngest son, a
mark of paternal tenderness usually
among the Mongols instead of embrac-
ing." In the Philippine islands. we are
told, "the sense of smell is developed to
so great degree that they are able, by
smelling pocket handkerchiefs, to tell to
which person they belong, and lovers, at
parting, exchange pieces of linen they
may be wearing, and, during their sepa-
ration, inhale theodor of the beloved be-
ing" Among the Gttagong hill people,
again, it is said, the manner of kissing is
peculiar. Instead of pressing lip to lip,
they place the nose and mouth upon the
check and inhale the breath strongly.
Their form Of speech is not "Give me o
kiss" but "Smen me-" In the same
way, according to another traveller, tho
Burmese do not kiss each other in the
Western fashion, but apply the lips and
nose to the cheek, and make a strong
inhalation" Moreover, "the Samoans
salute by juxtaposition of noses, accom-
panied not by rub, but by hearty
smell" There is a scriptural precedent
Cor such customs. When blind Isaac
was in doubt whether the son who came
to him was Jacob or not, "he smelled
the smell Of his raiment, and blessed
him."

STOVES AND HEALTH.

Prof. Ira Remsen, of the Johns Hop
hns University, has been investigating
the effect of cast-iron stoves on health
whether the stoves do or do not allow
deleterious gases to escape. The verdict
is in favor of the stoves. Prof. Rem
sen finds that carbonic oxide-the gas al
legged to be go deleterious- not ssvd
through red-hot cast-iron even of the
thickness of an eighth Of an inch. More
over, careful examination did not In
any one instance detect any deleterious
gas given out by wellconstructed fur
mace. Where carbonic oxide gas is
found, its presence, it is declared, is not
due to its passing through cast-iron IN
any appreciable quantity.

Ex-Gov. HENDRICKS, of Indiana, says
a word for ministers sons, among whom
he thinks that bad ones are really rare.
They make the best of our authors,
teachers and editors. When men of
this kind have become worthless" he
thinks "it may have arisen from their
want of business training, by which they
did not learn thrifty business habits, and
yet lacked the religious stimulation of
their parents"

But Gcd did something IL me see.

And took from me that ecpl again.

TRATEL IN TOWN.
HosU Anserica's Street Car Has SolUed the
Universal Problem.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.]
Those OF the present generation who
have been always accustomed to the use
of street railways can hardly understand
how their forefathers could manage to
get along without them. To the city
man they are as indispensable as ordinary
railways are to the public at large, and
yet thirty years ago they did not exist.
In 1852 the first attempt at railways was
made in New York, and 80 complete was
its success that, from that day to this,
they have been introduced in every
town, from it's peculiar business or its
population, they could benefit. Even
in SO young town as Leadville sys-
tenn is already in existence. In Europe
they were not introduced until 1869, or
nearly twenty years after they had been
proved success in this country. In
that year the eccentric George Francis
Train thought he would be the first to
show the stupid Briton the enormous
advantages of street-railway locomO-
ton over the numbering and unwieldy
bus.
He had plenty Of money, and had he
adopted the proper style of rail might
have made fortune but the only
place he succeeded in getting conees-
sion, Birkinhead, his T rail proved
nuisance, and In Westminster and Dub
lin, where he was permitted to lay down
short lengths by way of specimens Of
what it was Like, the people utterly re-
pudiated it. After his litigation with
the Elbow Vale Company, which was
senseless proceeding on his part, as ne
clearly owed the money, he gave up the
job and returned to the States.
Two young Philadelphians, Morton
W. Fisher and Dillwyn Parish, then,
perceiying the rock upon which Train
had split, devised fiat rail, three inches
wide and one inch deep, with a concave
groove running longitudinally half an
inch deep on the upper surface, little
on one side of the center, the wheel Of
the car running on the larger or top di-
vision, with tie fange In the groove, the
smaller top division being transversely
serrated to prevent the horses slipping.
This rail was spiked down on the
three-inch side of longitudinal sleepers.
three inches by six, tine sleepers girded
together by rods in the usual way, the
road-bed being prepared for Welsh set
paving by foundation of concrete SIX
inches in depth. The upper surface of
the rail was made perfectly level with
the paving. both sides between the rails
and outside to width of eighteen
inches. This kind of "tramway,"
which is the name street railways are
given in Great Britain, proved accepta-
BILE to the British Board of Trade, was
sanctioned by Parliament, and adopted
all over that country. In few years
Fisher and Parish had built tramways
in Liverpool, Glasgow, Dublin and Lon
don, and in many other towns, and be-
come millionaires through being the first
to introduce an acceptable rail. Now,
not only in Great Britain and Ireland,
but throughout the continent of Europe,
to Australia and India, street railways
are nearly as common as in the States,
where they originated.

HAVE STUDENTS 4 RIGHT To FOfEF
This question is one which has been
decided by no less authority than the
Supreme Court Of Iowa. The test case
which brought out this decision was sub
stantially and briefly as follows: A
student was attending an institution OF
learning In one of the cities OF that
State. When the time came for an cleo
tion to be held in the city In which the
institution was located, the student went
to the polls and offered his ballot, but
the judges of the election declined to
receive it, on the ground that the student
was nots resident there, but was only
living temporarily In the place where
the institution was located, and that the
place where he had resided previous to
becoming student in THAT city was his
home, and there, if anywhere, was
where he had the right to vote. The
question is one of great Importance, and
cannot be decided by a simple negative
or affirmative. The highest legal
authorities admit the difficulties attend
ing decision and call attention to the
point that much depends upon the inten-
tion of the citizen. The mere fact that
a citizen takes his personal effects, or
some of them, and goes from Illinois to
Iowa, for example, with the intention of
settling permanently in the latter State,
provided he finds suitable place there,
does not make him cease to re citizen
of Illinois, and of a certain county,
town or voting place. The Supreme
Court ofs.the State Of Illinois has decided
that question. wide Wilkins vs.. Mar
shall, 80th ILL.,. page TIL There have
been many cases involving students
right to vote in the place where is
located the institution which he is
attending. rThere ale instances where,
no doubt, students obtain residence at
or near their seats Of learning, but, gen.
orally speaking, such persons are either
without home elsewhere, or else pro-
pose settling in the city whose colleges,
seminaries or universities they are
attending. In some cases it is held by
local authorities chat, if students pay the
regular poll-tax, they are entitled to vote.
This may be considered a safe plan,
inasmuch as most students are supposed
to hayeno more filthy lucre than they
know what to do with, and might decline
to bid any Of it farewell, even to get a
chance to vote.--Chjcago Inter Ocean.

"Why is it? Why is it?" Mr.. Nor
gan reasoned with himself, his keen eyes
upon his disreputable yet distinguished
friend. "This man has in himself all

Why is it? Mr.. Morgan was angry at
himself that he, knowing men in gen.

son remarked to him when they bade
each other goodnight, "not another

friend rather more than ever.
