How 10 be a Guess.

All my life I have been accustomed
to a great many guests. It often
puzzles me that some people who in
many respects were not as agreeable
as others, were so much easier and
pleasanter to entertain. 1t has only
lately dawned upon me that there is
talent in being, entertained just as
in entertaining.
If one and all of us could cultivate
this gift we would have more and
beartier invitations. In watching one
of the most. successful of visitars [
learned these simple rules.
1. Be always ready for everything.
1t you must fail in any one particu-
lar, never let it be breakfast. When
you are late for this meal you keep
back the whole households plans for

2. Always look interested, and, if
possible. say often how agreeable
you think things. 1t is much easier
to work for friends pleasure if one
thinks she really is getting it and APP
preciating the trouble taken. Re-
member that often what is great
delight to you is excessively tiresome
and stupid to your hostess. The

Paid with Kisses.
Chambers journal.

A curious case of kissing comes to
notice from Newborn Town. Some
time ago Mr.. Finch, a jeweler, sold
to young lady named Miss Waters
what was described as a beautiful
set of real jet, the bargain being that
he vast to receivein paymenttherefor
100 kisses, to be paid at the rate of
one kiss daily. Mr. Finch was to call
at the lady's house every morning,
Sundays excepted, to receive his
daily kiss which Miss Waters under
took and promised to duly deliver
him. For thirty consecutive days,
Sunday exceeded, Mr.. Finch punctu-
ally called upon Miss Waters, and
duly received the salutation. On
the thirty first day, however, Mr..
Finch made complaint that Miss Wa
tiers was not fulfilling her contract,
inasmuch as she insisted upon per-
mittipg him to kiss her cheek only.
He maintained that this did not
constitute regular kiss, and de-
manded that he should he allowed to
put his left arm round her waist and
kiss her in the highest style of the
art. To this however a firm refusal
was returned. The lady offered Mr..
Finch a choice of cheeks, but insist
ed that the contract would not bear
the construction he put upon it
There-upon Mr. Finch in great indig-
nation, brought an action for breach
of contract against the lady. This
action raised several new and inter-
esting questions, sawong the most
important of which was "What con-
stitutes, in the eyes Of the law,
kiss %
The plaintiff set up further that
there was difference between active
and passive kisses, that Miss Waters
had promised to give him certain
number Of kisses-not merely to al
low him to take them-and that Civ
ing these kisses was an act which re-
quired the use of the lips. The case
was the subject of controversy in the
press and elsewhere, but the writer,
unfortunately has never been able to
discover the legal proceedings which
were Instituted and has conclude d
that a compromise of of some sort
must, as at one time expected, have
been brought about.

A WOndesfulDream.

A daughter of the late Harvey
Jewell, who was so well and favor
ably known in Boston in legal and
business circles, and brother of the
late Marshall Jewell, had recently a
very queer and unusual experience,
and one calculated to make deep
impression upon the strongest mind
Some weeks ago she had dream in
which she distinctly saw, an under
taker drive up to her residence with
a hearse. He was peculiar looking
man. His queerly shaped nose, which
looked as if it had been broken and
twisted to one side, gave his coun-
tenance an expression which would
have made identification easy and
certain. He came directly toward
her, and as he said, care you all
ready 2" she suddenly awoke.
The dream seemed a very pecul-
lar one, but did not attract very
much attention in the household un-
til few days or week later it was
repeated with the very same charac-
teristics, down to the care you all
ready 2" and the awakening.
And now comes the strangest part
of the story Some little time after
wards the young lady was visiting in
Cincinnati, and went to an apartment
hotel to call upon friend. She
stepped into the elevator with others,
and was startled to hear care you all
ready?" from the man in charge
She was still more startled on look
ing around and beholding the exact
picture of the dream, even to the
mishappen noise. 1t made such an
impression on her mind that she re-
qnested to be let out of the elevator
at the first landing. She stepped
out and the other occupants went
out at the next landing, while the
man remained. The elevator machin-
cry gave out, suddenly she car went
up and then down, and the man was
instantly killed. Boston Globe.

A young lady in the rural districts
wrote us asking advice about how to
have dress made. Now, we didn't
know what to say. But we wanted
to accommodate her, so we got a
fashion magazine, copied descrip-
ton of a dress, and sent it
to her. Yesterday the queerest crea-
ture we ever saw bounced into our
office. "Do you see this dress ?"
she demanded. 'I've worn it in
here to let you see it. This is the
thing you advised me to make; look
at it. Then she went on. She had
caused the dress to be made up,
worn it to the city, expecting it to'be
in right style, and found it to be
terror. Investigation showed that
the magazine was of 1914.

The Efficiency ofPrayer.

The Jersey City Journal in re-
cent issue says; "a venerable dar-
key Baptist preacher, Or exhorter,
beat a lawyer in a Georgia Court the
other day very handsomely and
piously. The colored preacher had
sued white man to recover S25
which he alleged was due to him.
The defence was a ''set-of," the white
man claiming that he didn't owe the
sooty person anything. The defend
ants lawyer was a Methodist, and in
his plea he took occasion to say that
while there were some good men
among negro preachers, as a class
they Were very great rascals, and
Baptist negro preachers were worst
OF all. The negro plaintiffs counsel
was a solid Baptist and in his reply
he earnestly defended the moral char
acter of his client, the plaintiff, and
this so excited the old preacher that
he suddenly, in open court, raised
his hands and eyes heavenwrrd fell
upon his knees, and exclaimed, Let
US join in prar.' The court, lawyer rs
and bystanders looked on in amaze
ment, while the old darkey prayed
earnestly at the top of his voice
The jury for the plaintiff gave judg-
ment for the full amount claimed,
and the white Methodist lawyer will
be cautious in the future how hepro-
vokes a Baptist minister to get in his
prayers in trial in court.

How Money Came into Use.

! Know money NaIne INTO Use.
United States Economist
What is money! How did 1t come
into use? Obvious it is tool-an
Misunderstanding else 1t is not
an object sought for its own sake, to
be kept and used. 1t is acquired
solely for the work it does-a mere
machine. The dollars which man
carries about in his pocket are dis
Enctly intended to be to work is sole
ly to be given away in exchange for
something else. Money is the tool
of exchange, the instrument of OBJ
tanning for itspresent possessor some
commodity or service whichis desir-
ed. But how did the necessity raise
for inventing such tool? Many
economists answer that a measure of
value was needed, continuance
which could enable men to compare
with each other the several values or
worths of the commodities they han
die. The farmer to know how many
sheep he ought to give for cart
Thus money was devised to meet this,
want. But this is an entire mistake.
A measure which should tell accu-
rately the worth of one commodity
compared with that of another was a
want created by civilization as it de-
veloped itself. A far more urgent
need made its appearance at an ear
lier period.
Money got over the greatest diff
Guilty which the social life encounter
ed. Human beings, unlike almost all
animals were formed to make differ
emit commodities for each other
How were they to be exchanged 4?
How could the men who mutually
wanted each others goods be brought
together for exchanging? A farmer
was in want of a coat, but the tailor
had no desire to obtain a calf he
was in want of shoes. Here were
two sellers and two buyers, yet nei-
Their could produce what he wanted.
Money came to the rescue. The far
mer sold his calf to the butcher for
money, and with that money he pro-
cured the wished for coat. The tai
lor repeated the process with the
shoemaker. Thus money solved the
difficulties, -Four exchanges were
brought together instead Of two, and
two articles were sold and two
bought with money and by this en-
ployment of common tool for ex-
changing. the greatest principle of
associate life was established-the
division Of enjoyment
1t is plain that the money first
bought the calf and then travelled on
to buy coat 1t circulated; it re-
manned permanently in no hands,
1t fulfilled the one service to ex-
change, to place two different articles
in different hands. Each man who
obtained the money intended to pass
it away in turn. Thus the concep-
ton, tool, comes out transparently.
1t performs its function 10y subsli-
tuting double barter for single; the
farmer first barters his calf or mon
ey, then barriers away the same mon
ey for a coat. This conception of
money dives into it's essence; that
money is tool must never be left
out of mind; it governs every
thought, every word about money.
If money was never til ought of only
as tool, the world would be saved
a vast amount of idle speaking and
writing.

Belle, aged Il, daughter of Rev. Ezra Tin ker, of Norwich, fell backwards into tub of boiling water, Tuesday, and was terribly scalded. Her recovery is doubtful. On Tuesday as O. B. Phillips, ,of Sufield, was standing in front of the postofice at Ware house Point, grocery team ran into his boy, Edward D. Phillips, aged years, and knock ed him over. Then Mir. Phillips two-horse team started and ran over the boy breaking his neck and fracturing the base of his shull. Death was instantaneous.
 After the severe thunder storm of Tuesday evening had passed Mir. Charles w. R. Dow, manager of the telephone line of Norwich, went to the sink in his kitchen to draw wa ter. Just as he laid his hand on the iron handle of the pump he noticed a flash of lightning from the clouds rolling eastward. He received shock that threw him senseless to the floor. It w9s an hour before he was able to speak. There Is nothing to indicate that the house was struck by lightning, and the cause of MT. Dow's shock is not yet sat- isfactorily explained. It is, perhaps, an ex- planatory fact that MT. Dow's telephone wire is grounded in the well into which the pump descends.
