KISSING MUST BE STOPPED.

At medical meeting at Utica, n. T., re-
Gently, DR.. NJ. o. Terry read paper on
kissing as medium of communicating dis
ease, in which he says that" Lives are daily
sacrificed and disease communicated by the
promscuous habit of kissing" He says that
kissing as a custom should be abandoned
among women as greeting.
This advice, taken in connection with the
advice of the state COW doctor, relating to
the CHAMBERS, will probably throw damper
on the habit Of kissing.
DR.. Halcombe thinks the CHAMBERS in
horses was brought here from Missouri.
Now there are many Missourians living here
who have friends arriving from that state
daily. just imagine woman arriving here
from Missouri with the CHAMBERS, being
met at the depot and kissed BY her lady
friends. Why the disease would spread all
over the city in few days and no kissing
among friends or lovers would be safe. just
imagine a young fellow going to sit up
with his girl. who might possibly have been
exposed. He would be sure to come in con-
tact with the virus, and then we would not
only have to have the state COW doctor but
also city COW doctor. A quarantine would
have to be established and the animals kept
apart.
In view of the fact that the itch prevails
to such an extent in Louisville, Ky, that
nobody feels safe to shake hands with
Louisvillisn, that mode of greeting will pro-
baby have to be stopded also; therefore,
hereafter the proper thing to do when
friend from the east arrives, is to stand of
about rod and bow at him or her, as the
case may be. This may appear cold man
ner Of greeting, but at any rate it will have
the merit Of being reasonably safe.

The Philadelphia Ledger.


Twenty years ago tho public was startled
by the announcement in The Public
Ledger that Mr.. George W. Chii,ls had pur-
chased that newspaper from Mr.. Swain. and
would thenceforth be its publisher and pro-
prietor The consideration paid was $50, 900.
and when it is considered that Tae Ledger
vas then losing scores of thousands annu-
ally, tie amount was large; but Mr.. Swain
had founded the successful penny press of
this city; he had grown old in penny jour
nalism, and he could not advance with the
progress Of the age Mr. Childs brought
young blood, broad business intelligence and
tireless energy to his task, and the news
paper that no bought FOR sl50,0j0 twenty
years ago, now pays $500. 900 annual profit,
and is the most permanent newspaper prop
erty in the United States.
Soon after purchasing Tho Ledger, Mr..
Childs announced that the price was ad-
vanced from to 9 cents per copy. The
paper on which that announcement was
made was thin, dirty in color, brittle and
would now be regarded as poor quality of
wrapping paper; but it cost % cents pound,
and that imposed n loss OF $1,000 or 5000
week upon The Ledge. Now Mr.. Childs
aas nearly doubled the size of Toe Ledger,
prints it on excellent paper. and instead of
loss Of 81, 200 or more a weak, 1t clears that
much every day. The brood, enduring
foundation Of its success is its entire relia-
bility in all its departments, and in that it
reflects the ripe business Judgment and quail
tiles of It's successful publisher.

The south bound train arrives at the union

THE REVIVAL.


The interest at the Baptist church contin-
ues undated. Last night according to an
nouncement the unconverted only met at
the Baptist church, protesting Christians as
sembling for prayer at the same hour at the
Presbyterian church. Major Penn addressed
those at the Baptist church from the text:
This year thou shalt die because thou hast
taught rebellion against the Lord" 1t was
pronounced the most powerful he has thus
far delivered and the large audience, many
of whom could not obtain seats, gave the re-
vivalist the closest attention throughout. He
treated the subject in the most intelligent
and impressive manner and deep
feeling prevailed all hearts though no OPP
portunity was given to rise or come for
ward for prayer.
The preacher brought wildly before the
minds of the impenitent that no other SO IA
vorable revival services would hereafter fall
to their lot, and that four reserved seats
would be kept for those who wished prayer
for themselves and their loved ones. At the
afternoon meeting several conversions are
reported, and it was considered the most
spiritual Of any yet held.
All christian workers, Of whatever name,
were earnestly requested to pray Tor the con-
version of their friends and neighbors.
Meetings every afternoon at 230 and even
ing promptly at 7:a0. Tonight the sermon
will be on the Operations of the Holy
Spirit on the Human Soul"
