Here Is Il simple question in sentiment
Can actors and actresses kiss each other
in mimic love without danger of heart
hurt? We used to be told that stage
kissing was counterfeit, aud perhaps most
of it was, and still is ; but there has lately
grown into usage at least here in New
ork. palpably genuine kind of oscula-
tiOn in comic opera and burlesQue. 1t
began in "NanOn.' where the pretty Sadie
Marinot smaCked the handsome William
T. Carleton in all actuality and ferVor
right on the lips four times per evening.
1t WAS done 80 close to the fOOtlights, and
50 deliberately that no room was left for
doubt The story was told that hei dis
liked It,, ana they quarreled, but she
deemed the thing essential to the pros
perity OF her role. ana got the manage
meut to sustain her in it, enough she
hated the man she kissed. Carleton il
now travelling, and Clara Wisdom, who
mad been IN the chorus here, kisses INN
quite as heartily as Miss Martinot did in
the same character. There is deal of cooling
Yum in "Thc Mikado.' Behind the
scenes OF the two theatres III which the
opera has been running | was amused 10
lind persons deeply and unconcealedly
interested in those particular episodes OF
the piece. In one instance it was Jciler-
son Bernstein, the new husband OF
NeruOna Jarbeau, who eye-witnessed
every hug and salutation which his welded
Yum Yum received from her Nanki-Poo
Each kiss was a resounding suction of
lips. In the other case, the admired OF
maidens, COurtice Pounds, was the stage
lover, and his japanese bride was the
far Geraldine tlmar. Their kisses were
on cheeks and chins, never bringing their
mouths together. "They doit in excellent

discretion" assented member of the
company. "Do you see the smallish,
pretty woman in the chorus yonder in
green She is not requisite on the stage
Just now, and her companions of the
chorus are in the green room. She is
smilingly watching the love passage be
tween Nanki-Poo and Yum Yum. 1t

FARM AND GARDEN.


They are at it already. The departing
footsteps of the late cold snap had not even
ceased to be heard when howl rose from the
croakers that the peach buds were killed, the
winter wheat frozsn, and the beef cattle on
the western plains dead with the cold.
Don't you believe them. This country is
so big and so fertile that farmers will never
want. No cold. however polar, no heat
however torrid, no drouth however arid,
no rain, however so long con inued, was
ever yet powerful enough to cause n famine
in America, hardly even n noticeable
scarcity
Remember that, and shame the croakers.
