STAGE KISSES. -" Nobody on the
stage" said an old actress, who used to
be a reigning star many years ago,
"neither man nor woman, kisses from
choice. At least, have never known it
to be so. 1t is not pleasant operation,
no matter how much the people might
like one another. They are covered with
paint, grease and perspiration, for kissing
is the usual wind-up of an exciting and
passionate scene, and the contact of
the two faces, or even lips, is unusually
unpleasant. Any sort of an actor or
actress, if they know anything of their
art can simulate kissing quite as effect
lively as if the kiss were real. No mat
ter how much one is excited by the scene,
kiss invariably spoils the glamour of
the actress. 1t dispels the illusion and
brings one back to earth. On that
ground alone always objected to being
kissed on the stage, even beyond the
paint and grease kiss. Actresses who
consent to be kissed on the stage must
want to be kissed very badly-that's my
experience"

Eucalyptus Trees and Malaria.

About 100, 900 eucalyptus trees have
been planted on largo tract of land
I'm the Roman Campagna by the Trap
pists, to whom the tract was granted
by the Italian Government. The
vast marshes In the vicinity Of Rome
have eXhaled deadly vapors for many
centuries, and no device hitherto en-
ployed has diminished thoir malarial
influence. But the planting Of euca-
lyptus treessshas already made Tire
Fontane, the abbey of the Trappl5ts,
habitable throughout the whole year,
although the monks have heretofore
been compelled to desert 1t during the
sickly season. The result has excited
the wonder Of the Italian Govern
ment, and intelligent people every
where are discussing the Importance
of introducing the eucalyptus in ev-
cry malarial region where it will
grow. The tree is useful for build
ing ships and bridges, and also for
railway ties, and as its growth is
rapid the considerations in favor of
its introduction are mauy. The euca-
lyptus thrives in France, Spain, Por-
tugal and Italy, and in Australia it
is especially flourishIng. 1t may not
prove adequate for the removal of
the box of quinine pills from the
pocket of every resident of New Jer-
sey, but it certainly will thrive in
the South, where its influence is so
mnch needed to counteract the mias-
ma which produces deadly fevers and
devouring epidemics.

The New RaiIroad Time

1t Is settled that the comprehensive system
OF railroad time-keeping is to be adopted
that there are to be but five standards in this
country (including one for Nova Scotia and
New brunswick and that the whole region
between Maine and Detroit will have but one

meridian of Philadelphia, and runs little

Commodore Shufeldt, in charge of the ma
val observatory at Washington sent a tele.
gram to the convention approving the change
ana promising to try to have the railroad time
standards adopted for local use wherever the

gree OF longitude from Greenwich, or about
40 minutes faster than the present Boston
standard. The second belt will include all

standard time that of the g0th meridian II

second belt ST. Louis is "a few miles west OF
this meridian and in this belt will be includ-
ed the Mississippi valley from the neiRhbor-
hood Of Pittsburg on the east 90 some con

Kansas and Nebraska The fourth belt will
be governed 10y the lO5th meridian, which
passes near Denver. and will include the
Rocky Mountain region The fifth belt will
have for its standard tho time Of the l2Oth
meridian, which is nearly that of Sacramento,
California The boundaries Of these belts
will not be strictly defined by meridian lines,
for that would cause needless inconvenience
but they will be so arranged as to include ter

near the boundary, in one or the other belt,
so as to avoid as far as possible the risk OF
confusion or mistake The time in each belt
will be Just one hour slower than in that east
Of it, and the timetables of all railroads will
be arranged to conform to these standards

therefore, will always be right and as he
passes into a new belt he can either put his
watch forward or back just one hour, or be

long past raising money by lottery was gene

rs a perfectly legitimate operation. The fact
u.s. it is only within the last two generations
that the anti-lottery sentiment has been devel-
oped Up to the FIRST quarter of the present
century, the practice of raising money by lot.
teries for specific purposes was sanctioned by
the Legislatures of most, perhaps all, Of the
states of the Union. In this state such lotte-
ries were quite common. In his history OF
Vermont Thompson gives list Of those au-
thorized by the legislature-and queer list it
is There were twenty four in all, the aggre-
gate amount authorized to be raised being
about $4,000. The FIRST was authorized in
1883 aud the last IN 1904. OF the twenty
four, nine were for the purpose Of procuring
funds for the erection or repair of bridges
five were for the construction Of roads two
were to enable couple Of citizens to recoup
themselves for losses by fire two, curiously
enough were to enable two men to erect brew
cries one was to enable the now prosperous
and wealthy village Of Rutland to build a
courthouse and the object Of the remaining
five is not given In the course Of time the
public came to look at the lottery system in
its true light The legislature made no grants
after 1904: in 1926 a seller of lottery tickets
was made to pay license Of $500, which was
subsequently increased to $1,000 and finally
the selling of lottery tickets was absolutely
prohibited 10y law. Louisiana Is therefore
about two generations behind Vermont and
most OF the other states Of the Union in this
matter-and not only that but she shows no
indication of mending her ways The Louisi-
ana state lottery has 1t is said, become po-
tent factor in tine politics Of the state 1t

time its demoralizing influence is felt all over
the Union. 1t is IA thoroughly corrupt organ

done well to wage war upon It, 1t is to be
hoped that he will find law enough on his side
to enable him to bring the conflict to 10 sue

The ResuItin Ohio.

Though the Democrats won victory IL
Ohio last week they have decidedly lost
ground since last year, when they had a clear
minority OF the total vote cast. On the vote
for secretary of state in lss2 Mr. Newman
the Democratic candidate, secured plural.
~ Of 10, IL over Mr.. Townsend the kepub-
hcRn nominee, and a majority Of 1000 over
all the opposing candidates, the vote stand
ing BIG 974 for Newman against SO, 3lj for
all the others. Out of the twenty-one repre-.
sentative districts in Ohio the party secured
no fewer than thirteen and these were won
by pluralities aggregating 1924, while the
Republicans obtained but eight seats and
their plurality aggregated only 2,sl3. Thus.
on the total congressional vote, the Demo
Gratis led the Republicans by plurality Of
20, 4Ol. This year the Democrats have a plu-
rslity Of less than 10000 over the kepubli-
cans The Boston Herald says IF we reck-
on the prohibition vote at 10000 and
the Greenback vote at 2OJJ, figures which
draw support from the most recent estimate
by telegraph, the Democrats are left in a mi
nority of at least 10000 on the total vote Of
the state. 1t will be seen that instead of
making progress, they have actually lost a
good deal of ground since last year
Full returns on the prohibition amendment
show that it was defeated, receiving 500. asa
votes in a vote OF 71l,Gsl. The law required
that the amendment should receive a vote
equal to a majority OF all cast at the election
1t only received 800, 454, and so may be said
to have failed of adoption by $685. This,
however, was very heavy vote for so radi-
cal q measure il time Of so much excite
ment, and its friends think that another wear
they will succeed. A year OF Democratic
rule may, however, make them ready TO
make sure of more moderate policy, such
as that of the Scott law.
