Some ladies are beginning to complain
of the kissing business now practiced be-
tween members Of their sex. 1t is de-
clared that the practice Of one woman
saluting another with kiss whenever
she meets her after an absence is becom.
ing too common, and that the osculatory
welcome should be limited to ladies who
are very dear friends-and to gentlemen
too when properly authorized. Many
ladies who do Tot like to seem rude are
compelled to kiss other ladies of their ac
quaintance when they meet them be-
cause it seems expected, and to refuse to
return the salutation would be embar-
RAISING.
Last Saturday morning Mr.. j. Bolton
Watson, who resides about five miles
North of Anderson, had his barn, stables
and corn crib destroyed by fire. Over
5000 bundles of fodder, about 400 bushels
of oats and about 90 bushels of corn were
also consumed, aggregating a loss oi
about six hundred dollars. The fire was
accidental, having been caused by Mr..
Watson's little son, who, while playing
near straw pile, popped match with
his knife, igniting the straw, from which
the fire spread. The wind was blowing
considerably at the time, endangering his
dwelling house and other buildings,
which were near the barn.
The following curious puzzle is said to
beat the celebrated "l3 IA 15," and is well
worth investigating: Take strip of pa
per or cardboard thirteen inches long and
five wide, thus giving q surface Of sixty
five inches. Now cut this strip diagon-
ally as true as you can, giving two pieces
in the shape of triangle, and measure
exactly five inches from the end Of each
strip and cut in two pieces; take these
strips and put them into the shape of an
exact square, and 1t will appear to be
Just eight inches each way, or sixty-four
square inches, a loss of one square inch
of superficial measurement with no di.
minution of surface. The question is,
what becomes of that inch?
