New Styles OfKisSing.
Saratoga Letter.

Saratoga Letter.
Just now there are several new
styles of kissing here. Ladies
practice them among themselves,
and the old-fashioned way is DOOM
ed to extinction. A popular style
is that started by Mrs. Bigby, a
charming young matron Of Bos-
ton, whose bright eyes and dark
hair have attracted the attention
Of lots of visitors at the Springs.
When Mrs. Bigby meets a partic-
ular' lady friend on the piazza Of
the UIited States Hotel she rush
es up excitedly and exclaims:
"Oh, my dear girl, how glad l am
to see you'll Then she rubs her
right cheek against the left cheek
OF her friend as a salutation. The
sensation is exceeding agreeable,
and the fortunate recipient de-
clares that it feels like velvet.
Another innovation in the art Of
kissing is becoming very popular,
although to the unfeeling obs6rv-
er the practice seems rather dan
gerous. The proper manner to
perform this salutation is to bend
the head quickly upon meeting a
friend and bite her gently on the
shoulder. Mrs. Charles Edwards,
a beautiful blonde of Baltimore,
is credited with being the intro
ducer of this style. When Will
liam H. Vanderbilt, who was
standing upon the piazza Of the
Grand Union, observed this mode
Of kissing for the first time a flood
of recOllectlOns rushed through
his brain, and he exclaimed in a
sad tone: Chat is the way that
Maud S. used to greet me before
| parted with the peerless mare"
The wealthy maiden lady, Miss
Sophie Simpson, of Hartford,
Conn, who is here with three par
rots and a score Of cats, is credit
ed with being the originator of a
new style Of osculation, which is
confined mostly to elderly ladies
When Miss Simpson encounters
Miss Tabitha Andrews, who is
said to be her rival for the heart
of old Judge Banker, Of Hartford,
she effusively bumps her forehead
against the frontispiece of Miss
Andrews. The sparks fly from
the force Of this greeting, and
sometimes a bump is raised, but
the elderly ladies declare that it is
a real vigorous and enjoyable
method of kissing.

How It Tasted.

She was maid of many charms,
As lovely as the rose;
She held her poodle in her arms,
And fondly kissed his nose.
Her lover, lying at her feet,
Was envious as could be,
And said, ooh, give kiss as sweet,
AS that, my love, to me-"
She stopped and kissed him on the lips,
Then sprang he to his feet;
She, blushing to her finger tips,
Inquired, "Well, was it sweet?"
lie wiped his mouth, picked up his
cane,
And then prepared to Jog,
Remarking. Sweet! well, to be plain,
1t kind O. tastes Of dog"

Horrors of the Opium Evil.

Frightful accounts of the opium
evil appear from time to time in
the newspapers, and it is probable
that the half has not been told.
A writer in a ST Louis paper tells
of a bright and beautiful woman
who buys $40 worth of opium at a
time. When her supply Of the
drug is out she wakes up in the
night in the utmost agony, and
bites her arms until they are torn
and bleeding.
A celebrated actress gets fairly
wild about two o'clock every aftel-
noon, when she makes an excuse
and gets by herself for few min
utes. When she returns she is a
changed woman, and for short
time pleasant and talkatiye, and
then she begins to drift into
semi-unconscious state. Her eyes
shine and look at you, through
you and beyond you, Then she
will start, beat a tattoo with her
hand, stir up her bangs, brace up
fer few minutes and float away
again. This continues for hours.
At big dinner she will drift over
her plate, rouse herself, take a
fork and separate some portion of
her food, have another relapse,
and so on through a long dinner
without eating mouthful, Some
times she stspends her awful hab-
it and adopts as substitute whis-
ky, tobacco and other things, but
she always returns to the hypoder.

SPEAKING of the Sioux Falls CONVEX

SPEAKING of the Sioux Falls conven-
ton, the Huron correspondent of the
Chicago Inter Ocean truthfully says: at
is as certain as anything can be that the
people of South Dakota, as well as of
North Dakota, are in favor of division
and separate statehood by a large major
ity. In all movements of this character,
enemies are always more active than
friends. So it is in Dakota today. Those
who from whatever motive oppose the
will of the majority are seeking to make
it appear that there is q wide division
of opinion among the people of Dakota
on the statehood question. 1t remains
the fact that, so far as the people of Da.
kota have been able to put themselves on
record, the popular desire for division
cannot be questioned for one moment.
The resolutions of the conventions of
both parties and the pending memorial
in the legislature emphasizes this desire
for division in a name that cannot be
mistaken by honest men.

The Grafton Herald, a Democratic
paper, has this to say concerning recent
appointments of clerks of court by
Judge McConnell:
The Democratic party in days gone
by strongly denounced carpet-bag rule
in the southern states, but if Judge
Mcconnell, an alleged Democrat, is moi
carrying it out IN Dakota as far as he can
W should like to Know. Carpet.bagism
and nepotism were fercely fought and
denounced by the Democratic party in
the past. Mcconnell gives us a speci.
men of his principles by hauling his
brother into Fargo and appointing him
clerk of Cass' county. He then shoves
a Fargo man on Pembina county and a
Grand Forks mar on Walsh. This, we
suppose, must not be called nepotism OF
carpet-bagism in Dakota, but it would
pass for the genuine article south o.
Mason and Dixon's line. We like tc
call a spade a spade, a rock a rock and
a sham Democrat a sham Democrat.
