kissing is Doomed.

Some recent observers have remark.
ed that the kiss as salutation, except
among near kindred or friends, is pass.
ing out of use. We should be glad to
believe that this is so, but in many por.
tions of the country it is certain that
the kissing habit is still almost univer.
sal among women. Those between
whom an actual dislike is known tc
exist touch each others lips in their
calling rounds, and even on the street
and at railroad stations.
At a certain girls school some years
ago, where the kissing furor was prev
alent Gas is the case in most schools OF
the sort), a society was formed, which
was dubbed A. K. l.. These mystic
letters stood for the words Anti-Kissing
League, and the society embraced al
one time most of the solid" girls OF
the school. We understand that it is
no longer in existence, but its influence
was most salutary and is felt even to
the present time. If the teachers in
girls schools and colleges would only
take the matter of kissing in hand and
create public sentiment against the
indiscriminate indulgence in the prac-
tice there would be much less OF the
absurd '.mash' epidemic among the
callow maidens in our educational ill.,
stitutions. ns.-ihiindeiphid Press

Stage.Struck Young Ladies.

The seasons crop of young ladies
with phenomenal genius for the stage
appears likely 10 be unusually large.
Already several have been heard from
and the returns from remote counties
are not yet in. Out west there is
young debutante named Stella Rees,
about whom the paragraph writers are
industriously ravlng. Sac has begun
her stage career and the customary
enthusiastic illusions to her youth,
beauty. and talent are coming into
New York in such bulk as to threaten
the machinery of the postoifico with
untowtrd clogging up. In the metro
polls. whiting for the opportune mo-
ment for flashing respondent upon the
dazzled community, is a young girl
from Georgia named Hussey. She has
already given two recitals before small
invited audiences of critical people,
and i'll that capacity she has attracted
marked attention and very consider
able degree of commendatiOn. What
she will accomplish when she appears
with the regular surroundings of the
stage is quite another question. Miss
Hussy is very young girl. should
not think she could be over 10 or 10,
and she shows good deal OF orlginati-
ty and power in her recitation. She
will probably appear in tragedy before
the season grows much older. The
third of the series of expectant stars
who have thus far approached the yisi-
BILE armament this year is little Miss
Speyer, with golden hair, big black
eyes, and the taste for defamation
which usually betokens coming debut.
The success of Miss Anderson and Miss
Mather both of whom began at the top
of the ladder instead of its lower end,
has been responsible for vast deal of
this kind of thing. Not many years
ago most ambitious young ladies could
be really convinced that, without the
experience which actual employment
on the stage involves, there can be no
more than very small chance in a
profession which depends largely upon
the skillful use of its technicalities.
But this assurance is nowadays met by
a reference to Miss Anderson and Miss
Mather, and the cloud of debutantea

The Farmers Daughters DOwry.

They tell in England profitable
anecdote about Mr.. Bakewell, of Dish
ley, who was an eminent agriculturist
and breeder of stock. He was also re-
garded as q very wise and shrewd
man, and his neighbors were in the
habit of resorting to him for counsel
and advice. On one occasion an old
friend went to pay him a visit for the
purpose of explaining to him his posi-
ton, and at the same time begging
him that he would recommend him
what TO do. He had lived all his life
upon his own farm of 1000 acres; he
lived very we'll, but he had never saved
q shilling. He had three daughters,
and the eldest was about to be mar
ried. He highly approved of the match,
but the intended husband expected
give him. Should he mortgage his es-
tate, or what should he do? Mr.. Bake
well begged him to spend the night
with him. and promised, the next
morning, to give the result of his cogi-
tations. Accordingly, the next morn
ing, when they met at breakfast, Bake
we'll said: 81 have made up my miud
what you ought to do; give your SON.
iu-law one-fourth of the farm, keep the
remaining three-fourths. and do not
part with any portion OF your capital
and stock, and work the remaining
three-fourths with it. Do it better than
you have hitherto done, and your in
come will be rather increased than di-
minished." His friend followed his
advice, but at the end of two or three
years another daughter would be mar
ried, and the perplexed father again
resorted to his friend Bakewell for adj
vice under this new difficulty. Bake
we'll coolly said he had watched his
proceedings and seen their results; he
must do in this case as he had done be-
fore; he must give up another fourth
of his farm, and keep the original can
ital and stock. The father seemed
somewhat puzzled, but as the first ex-
pertinent had succeeded, he determined
to try it in this case also. Last of all
the youngest daughter was to be mar
ried, and, in utter despair, the poor
father paid another visit to Dishley to
explain his perplexity. ''Well, said
Bakewell, s'tell me honestly whether
your income has diminished by having
your farm reduced one-half?' The
father acknowl edged he thought it had
not "fhen," said Bakewell, 'you
must give up another fourth of youl
farm, and Keep the remaining 25C
acres for yourself, and, to tell the
truth. you will then have just such Il
farm as your stock. your capital and
your head are fit for, and will be q
better and happier man than ever. "
Old Bakewell used to tell this story
with great glee. and declared his friend
left as much stock and capital upon
the 25O acres as he ever had upon the
1000, and, as he believed, made ;
better income out of it.-AmericGa

mors, allays the intense itching, (par-
ticularly at night after getting warm
in bed,) acts as a poultice, gives in
slant and painless relief, and is pre-
pared only for Piles, itching of the

Applejack in New Jersey.

Besides the coons and weasels living
in New Jersey, writes Prentice Mulford,
there are many human beings, descend
ants of the Dutch. There are, it is
said, still hereabout some very old
people who speak Dutch-or could if
they wished. Applejack is the favorite
beverage among this class, but they do
not commence its energetic manufact-
ure until nearer the sea coast-about
Long Branch, where popular belief in
clines against the killing of the fish
hawks whose frequent nests are con-
spicuous on the taller trees (sugeest-
ing bushel baskets lodged thereon).
Kill a fishhawk," says a Dutch de-
scended Jerseyman of this section,
land your cows will give bloody milk"
They believe it and believe in apple
jack too.
l drank once a huge applejack punch
concocted for me by one Of these land
lords (they were building the Long
Branch iron pier at the time), and in
fifteen minutes after the fluid had be-
gun the assimilating process with my
organization saw countless iron piers
stretching away in dim tapering per-
spective far down the Jersey coast
1t is one of the most insidious of stimu-
lants in its effects, and may not give q
hint that it means business until it has
been within you fifteen OF twenty
minutes.

Two Humorists.


During the war, Ferd. Hamilton was
once assigned to duty as orderly to
General Faean. Hamilton's character
is a study. War, pestilence, nothing
could destroy his peculiar individuali-
ty. One day General Pagan called on
q gentleman who lived several miles
from the camp. Hamilton accompan-
led him. He rode at regulation dis
tance behind the general. As they
neared the house, Pagan stopped at q
large, heavy gate. of course, expecting
Hamilton to dismount and open it.
Hamilton rode up and stopped. Pagan
looked at him; he looked at Pagan.
Pagan got down without saying word
and opened the gate. Hamilton rode
through and waited until the general
caught up with him. Pagan hitched
his own horse and. taking seat on the
gallery, began conversation with the
man whom he had come to see. Ham,
ilton hitched his horse, took a seat
near Fagan, leaned back, lighted cob
pipe and took an active part in the con-
versation. Pagan was strict disci-
plinarian, but he had such a sense of
humor that, excusin9 himself, he went
behind the house and laughed until he
grew red in the face.
In the same command there was an
other humorist, practical joker nam
ed Henry McNette, who is now a pilot
on the Arkansaw river. just at this
time in the history of the Confederacy,
rations became scarce. Parched corn
and sweet potatoes do very we'll once
in long while but are Objectionable
when taken as steady diet McNette
noticed that Lieutenant Nowlin fire.
quentiy visited a farm house, the ele-
giant country seat of Judge Beach. He
had often seen the handsome Miss
Beach and he knew that Nowlin was
paying special attentions to her. One
day McNette went to Judge Beach $
house and rang the door bell When
a servant appeared, McNette put his
hat under his arm and asked if he could
see Miss Beach,
lis this Miss BeachP' MeNette ask
ed as he humbly bowed to the young
lady.

Lieutenant Nowlin, who is very
i'll, ordered me to come over and ask
you to send him broiled chicken and
anything else that you think he might
relish"
well, sit down there" said the
young lady. She would not allow any
of the servants to prepare the meal
She broiled the chicken herself and,
nicely arranging the spread" gave
it to McNette, who again bowed hum
bly,. He went down into tho woods
and feasted. .sThere was enough for
three men," he said in speaking of the
affair, ''but on that occasion ! was
three men myself.
The next day Nowlin called on Miss
Beach.

said.
''Why?' he asked.
s'Because of your illness. &

A Bohemian Ballad.

All, me unhappyi Loveless all my days
Darlzen to nights that brighten unto day;
And yet no Beauty is it mine to praise:
Though / console me with the saw that says
Confound it!-every cat at night is gray.
True as all proverbs: and can but grieve
That men do not the laws OF cats obey;
For then some comfort /, too, might receive,
Though now incredulous, must believe
Yes, must-that every cat at night is gray.
Ninon worship wheresoe'er she go,
And yet she f1outs me in her pretty way.
Ahl NinOn mine, why such aversion show?
You of all others SURELY ought to know
What quantities of cats at night are gray.
Margot is plain, of sweethearts has but few,
And for that reason willingly might stray
Stayl recall an axiom that, as new,
Margot for me from her experience drew,
Which says that every cat at night is gray.
Shall take heart? Musette has long evaded
All my attentions, though would shed stay
The port must be surprised and not blockaded
When one she may be easily persuaded
OF me, that every cat at night Is gray.

as many as you have" replied Gen.
Butler. 1t was some time before the
doctor saw what the crowd was laugh
