The thriftiness and commercial abil-
ity of the Germans are well shown in
the last new trade invented in Berlin.
Everyone knows that even the neediest
newly married couple have a certain
enaJaraS de releases owing to their
wedding presents, including many
duplicate specimens, and such willful
waste is especially calling to the prov
ident German housewife. An ingen-
ious gentleman accordingly hit upon
the idea of calling upon brides in Ber-
lin and offering TO exchange or buy for
each their duplicate presents. The
great art in giving presents is no doubt
to select things which look as if
they cost more than they really do,
and the new Exchange and MART in
Berlin must cost many disappoint-
mcnts; but the trade seems to be
thriving, ard there are already some
half II i"zrn persons engaged in it

kiss me again"

kiss me again.
Sibyl Sartoris spoke these words In |
n grave, calm manner that betokened
the serious import in which she held
them, and as Herbert Holdfast bent
tendorly forward and pressed his lips
softly TO hers she looked up to him in
the shy, cat-on-thc- back-fence fashion
that had so witched him in the golden
hued days of courtship-those days
when all the world seemed filled with
sunshine, when every breeze spoke in
whispers of his love for this beautiful
girl, and the cloudless skies seemed
only to reflect the deeper azure Of her
eyes.
There was no tint of deception in the
pure nature of this girl, and her every
act was the result of reflection, often
profound. Brought up in Boston, she
had all her life been accustomed to put
to its best use the power OF discernment
which thoughtful mind gave her.
Surrounded rs she was by the mystic
influences of Emerson, tho Concord
School of Philosophy, and several large
warehouses where Mackerel were sold,
it is small wonder, that when, standing
on the threshold of womanhood, she
beheld suitors for her heart and hand
approach; she had analysed with critical
care the hopes and fears of each-had
subjected the character of every wooer
to the rigid scrutiny of mind that,
seated cross-legged on tho starry sum-
nit of psychological research, looked
upon man as only viviiied protoplasm,
and the deepest emotions of the heart
as merely the manifestations Of too
active nerve centre.
Herbert knew this. He knew that
this girl--the rounded curves of whose
figure and the dewy sweetness of whose
lips would have made an anchorite leave
his job without pang-had naught Of
passion in her nature. And SO when
he had complexion, so gladly--with
her request, there stalked from out the
banquet halls of his imagination where
they had so long been unwelcome
guests tho sheeted ghosts Of Doubt and
Apprehension. He knew now that
Sibyl loved him with love that would
never fail-a love that, securely built
upon q foundation of respect and ad-
miration, was now crowned with the
large, roomy, mansard roof of death
less, neyer-changing passion. Hor
words proved it. Never before had
she even 50 much as limited at q kiss,
and when he had sought to take one
she had submitted to his caresses more
as dutiful wife than I'm ardent lover
But now all was changed, and it was
she who sought the bliss that large.
well-rcgulatcd, three-story-and-base-
ment kiss alone can give. The thought
was ecstacy.
"You love me better to-day, Sibyl,"
he said. than you did yesterday. Is
it not so, darling?"
"No," she answers, standing there
calm and pulseless as clam at high
tide.
Then why" he says. did you ask
me to kiss youP"
because" Sibyl replies, 81 desired
to acertain whether or not you had
been drinking Medford rum. - Chicago

these, in timelincss, is the status of the
