Zone More Kiss, Mammals

rocked my baby boy awhile,
And called out many Q sleepy smile
Unon the little lips, till he
Almost asleep had seemed to be.
Then. in his crib j laid him down,
Ny little lamb, with eyes 20 brown,
And kissed the rosebud mouth 20 sweet,
Then turned to 60, with noiseless feet.
But quick from Mischieaand there Dew
"A little eprite. What did It do
But whisper tony sleepy pet,
don t let mamma go from you yet. !"
Then sat my boy upright in bed,
And shook his tangled, curly head,
Me no seep, mamma, = cried he,
so tum an tbs me, one.tWo.freel"
"Just one kiss more" said, and pressed
The dear form close to my breast,
But, multiplying one by ten,
! kissed him DER and DER again,
Till, thinking he was satisfied
Again left my darling's side,
But, just 40 had reached the door,
Ar0guish voice called: "Jes' one kiss more
Iwent again with kisses sweet
His own dear. cOaxing lips TO meet,
And, while / waited, singing low,
To Dreamland he at last did 60.
All, mel when he shall older grow,
Will mothers kisses please him 30?
God guide us both till life be DER,
And may kiss my boy no morel

A Courteous Manner.

Brusk people underrate the importance of a
pleasant manner. Look beneath the surface,
they say, to the roots of character; pay no at
tention to outward appearance, to voice or
gesture, tone or manners, they may be all
deceptive, and they must be all superficial;
it is what is said or done and not how it is
said or done, that is alone deserving OF notice.
On the other hand, there are some to whom
manner is everything. Each new acquain-
lance has to pass the ordeal Of their criticism.
IL he polished, courteous, graceful, dignifed?
Then they are ready to receive him without
further question; he bears the stamp Of their
order. Is he rough, awkward or shy? Then
they arc not TO examine the kernel that may
be hidden under so unattractive a shell. Both
these views are imperfect and mistaken,
though each contains enough Of truth TO make
it plausible. To depreciate or ignore fine
manners is essentially absurd. Their charm
is irresistible, even to those who fancy them
selves proof against them. Yet it is not so
uueh in themselves or for their own sake that
they delight us in the promise of something
better and deeper. They are signs or symbols
of character, feelings, affections, thoughts,
and il is to this that they owe their value and
their charm.

Some additional points on electric

Some additional points on electric
lighting are furnished from Boston. In
that city 1856 electric lights on the streets
aud squares are burning at the expense
Of the oity treasury. The Brush service
Is employed exolusively in the oity
proper the New England Weston system
has been adopted for the suburbs, and
the two principal squares, Boston Common
and Public Garden, are lighted by 20
lamps OF the American Electric and
Illuminating Company. 1t has been
figured that each electric lamp takes
the place of 81 gas lamps. The
average per Thousand feet paid
by the city for gas last year WAS
&l.76; the cost for gas for each lamp
having four-fset burners was S26.97 the
cost OF lighting and care Of each lamp for
the year WAS s7.35, making the total
average cost per lamp $34.32. The cost
OF 81 gas lamps, each burning a feet of
gas per hour and in use all night, ia
given as $l1l.64. The average cost OF
each electric light, displscing these 81
gas lights, for the same time was 1897. .25.
On q few Of the streets experiments
have been made the past year
with gas-cluster lights, burning 80 feet
per hour. These have cost the city
S149.29 each for the year, against
$237.25 for the electric light, and 1t is
claimed by many that the clusters give aa
much and a steadier light than the
electric. The main benefit Boston has
thus far derived from the use of electricity
seems to have been the reduction in tn,
price of gas which has been brough
about thereby and which ranges from II
to II per cent.

The inoineration OF the body Of the late
DR.. Gross has given the advocates and
opponents Of cremation good excuse for
airing their opinions pretty extensively
in print within the past few days, but
now an inventor OF Grsnoble, France,
comes forward with q different plan
altog ether. Instead OF destroying the
human body after death, he proposes to
perpetuate 1t. His system oontemplates
plunging the corpse into liquid invented
by himself, which has the effect Of
inducing slow petrifaotion, SO that In
about Ave years the corpse is converted
into stone. The inventor suggests some
evident advantages Of this trestmeut.
ons is that II persons will only preserve
their relatives and friends in this man
ner they will, in the course Of time, have
enough petriisd bodies to build q
house with, the walls Of which
would certainly be suggestive oi
many scenes and incidents of the past.
An other sug geslion is that, when statue
Of the departed friend is desired, nothing
could be simpler or more satisfactory
than to have his petrihed corpse nickls
plated, or electro. plated with bronze, AND
mounted upon proper pedestal. Cir
cum speotion, however, should be exer
cised in the use Of such material, as ther,
are some edi8ces in which superfuitJ
of dead heads might prove unpopular.

Among the American newspaper editors
the income of Charles A. Dana Of the
New York Sun is said to be- exceeded only
by that Of Bennett of the Herald. When
Dana took hold Of the Sun he made =
contract with the trustees to edit the
paper at a salary Of $4,000 per year.
He had then some 20 shares in the paper.
He proposed to the stockholders that, in
addition to his salary, when the divi-
dends should exceed rs per cent they
should give him one-hsli Of the surplus
over that percentage. So large dividend
as Is per cent seemed improbable OF
realization and the stockholders readily
agreed to the proposition and and ssnc-
toned contract for ten years to tina,
effect. Within two years the paper paid
over so per cent and for some years past
ia represented to have paid not less than
so per cent. The contract expired .
year or two ago and new contract wsi
made under which Mr.. Dana gets one-hal
Of all dividends over 40 per cent. 1t Ii
reported that his share last year, includ
ing his salary, was $207, 900.

M. ]. Jamin contributes to the Reuus
dss de,lr Mondes for May an interesting
paper in support of the volcanic ejecta
theory OF the red sunsets of last winter,
in which he brings together much cor
roborative evidence derived from optical
and chemical science, and from the
reports of the past. The conclusion
reached by him is that the eruption Of
Krskatoa was one Of the most impor-
tant manifestations OF volcanic force
the world has known; that the
magnitude OF the forces then put
in motion renders 1t entirely credible
that an immense mass Of volcanic ashes
mixed with watery vapor was propelled
from Krakatoa to hight probably almost
coextensive with the limit of the earth a
atmosphere that this dense mass of nne
and principally microscopic ashes fiosted
above or on the surface of the atmosphere
as oil floats en- water, and that it was
gradually difused by the air cur
rents until it had become visibl,
over nearly three-fourths OF the earth't
surface. To the objection that som,
traces Of this volcanic dust ought to hsv
been found on the surface of the onow
Mr.. Jamin replies by adducing evideno
that volcanic dust has actually been thu
found ard at points considerably distan
from one another. Delswaresns, witt
dismal memories of the atrooious wesshe
which prevailed during the greater par
Of March and April, will be perfec.l
willing to believe that there was water
vspor mixed with the ashes in fact tha
the watery vapor preponderated in ths
mixture.

Philadelphia Record OF Sunday.
II Ia probable that not less than
5000, ,00e baskets Of pesotes will be
shipped from the Delaware and Maryland
peninsulAs this summer, and the crop Of
small berries-strawbe berries, black berries
and raspbsrries-wil be the largest ever
seen in that section. The largest ship
ment OF peaches was made in 1875, when
over 5000, 900 baskets found their way
to market. This year tine cop promises
to be q third larger. In addition to the
5000, 900 baskets which 1t is thought by
the best judges will be sent to market, at
least 1000, 900 baskets will be consumed
by the drying factories and canning
houses which have sprung up all over
the iruit section.
A prominent fruit-grower from Laurel,
Del, the largest berry shipping town in
the United States, said yesterday that he
thought that over 100000 quarts Of
berries would be marketed In one day
from the Maryland and Delaware trui,
section. PhiladelphiA commission mer-
chants say that IL would not be eur.
prising to see 800, 600 quartz OF straw.
berries brought to Philadelphia from
Delaware in single day, but they think
that this will not glut the market, be
cause they expect a superior grade o.
