HOW TO KISS.

Minute aud Circumstnntfnf Dfrec-
tions for All Cases.
There is n boy connected with this
Office who mixes the ink for the rollers
and does the useful generally, who
claims to be able to give points to any
body in the art of kissing. The fol-
lowing Is the result OF his mature ex-
perience: '.Ncver kiss young girl II
she doesn't want you TO. The main In
gredlcnt that makes kissing endurable
is willingness on tho part of tho TO-
male. III Ii deepens into anxiety so
much the better. When girl claws
mans hair and scratches his face like
little fool drop her at once. She is
destitute of good sense and natural af-
lection. and the sooner you begin max
ing love to her sister the better. AS
long as a girl don't claw and yell. and
struggle like panther. 1t Is perfectly
safe to continue prospecting. Get n
little behind her. pass the right arm
around the waist in 'front.' take her left
hand in your left. and IL you don know
what to do next 60 and associate with

IF you are just beginning to teach
shy girl, who has only been kissed
heretofore by her brothers and father.
touch your lips gently to her forehead.
She will take this for an exhibition Of
profound respect That position gain

Is as natural and as easy as the course
Of log sliding down the wood flume

"Never sit down to kiss. 1t appears
awkward in case anybody is looking.
and seems awkward anyhow. Stand
up. and the closer you press the girl
the higher estimation she will place on
your good taste. common sense and
experience.
Kissing married ladies is q separate
branch of the art and requires con-
slant practice. Where tenderness and
little hesitation and bashfulness IL
we'll put on 60 long way with young
girl, such nonsense Is not swallowed
by married woman to any consider
able extent. One of the prime requi-
sites on such an occasion Is quick
ear for the footstep in the hall and
nice calculation rs to how long the hus-
band will take to reach tho door after
he has passed the head of the stairs.

The tall building of the Newsboys' home
formed the background, and beneath its
friendly walls sat a little cripple, His
crutches were discarded for the moment, as
he sat at rest. Around were the busy
trucks, the hurrying men and all the buzz
and hum of city life. In the distance the
elevated cars rumbled and ratified, and the
very air seemed filled with an endless din
and noise-but the boy sat unconscious of it
all. In his hands was piece Of rubber hose
and he held one end of it to his mouth. No
found from it was apparent, except to him
self, but his preoccuped manner and perserv-
erance proved that it was source of amuse-
ment. His cheeks were inflated and his
fingers danced up and down the solid piece
of hose as if he were a musician and the
whole world listened to the melody which he
made. But nothing reached the ear of any
except the player, still he kept on untired

A big steamer came into this port the
other day, having made an amazing quick
run for her last day out. One of the officers,
in speaking of the trip, said: When we took
our pilot aboard, 400 miles off shore, we had
just time to get up 10 the harbor within the
doctors hours by running our very best. If
we missed the doctor we would have to lie
below the city all night, with nearly 1000
passengers on board. We determined to
make the run. The whole force of stokers
was put to passing coal from hand to
hand, and every lump was brushed
free from dust before it went into
the furnaces By doing this We made
certain that the coal would take fire at
once and that the furnaces would not be
loaded with clinkers. The men worked like
steam engines, with the promise of an extra
allowance for each, and we reeled that 400
miles off like dream. We caught the doc
| tor in time and got our passengers ashore
before night The company was several
hundred dollars in pocket by its saving on
their keep for twelve hours, everybody was
pleased, and the old ship got feather in her
cap for having shown the cleaneSt pair of
| heels she had ever shown since she was built.
1t was an exciting run, but it would have
been more exciting for any vessel to have
got in our way. Going as we did, we could
have sliced a full rugged ship in half like a
knife cutting through new chess. ALFRED

Avoid the risk of using these by resorting
to 3he safe as well as effectusl anti-phlog~

which encourage rheumatic tendency, a
wineglassfull of the Bitters prevents i'll

Some little time ago you induced some ac-
tors and actresses to make some touching
condolences about the suporstitions that
swayed them. That such an emotional being
as an Ellen Terry should sometimes be
governed by omens, might be expected, but
who would have thought that the Napoleon
of finance, jay Gould, would give way to
such ridiculous fadsl 1t is said that if you
watch him as he starts to go up or down
stairs of the elevated station you will in
variably see him place his left foot on the
first step, even If he has to get ont of step to
do it. If by accident OF through absent
mindedness Mr. Gould should start off with
his right foot, he is certain to recollect it
before reaching the top of the stairs, and he
never fails to return and start over again.
Another reported popularity of the wizard
is his distaste to blonde men. His children
are all of dusky hue, and his wife is as
dark as any of them. All the clerks in Mr.
Gould's office, and there are dozen of them,
are of dark complexion. Most of them
have jet black mustaches and long hair, and
the office might be taken for little section
of Mexico. There is not light featured
clerk in Mr. Gould's immediate employ, and
his friends say that he does not care to do
business with men who have yellow mus
taches or very light hair.-Pall Mall Budget.

A PHYSICIANS HERolSM.
How D,. Beard Approached Dissolution.
Dying Like a Scientist


Dying Like a Scientist.
DR.. Beard approached dissolution as a
scientist. Like Mr.. Palmer, he was an agnos-
tic who neither denied nor affirmed the pos
sibility of those things which to sacred men
are deemed certainties. Dr. Beard, though
an alienist who made great reputation in the
treatment of nervous and mental diseases of
others, carried his own nerves on his cuticle.
He was high strung, capable of periods of
great mental exhilaration and a man of su-
preme intellectual courage When it was
perilous, even physically perilous, for any
body to doubt the sanity Of Guiteau, Beard,
utterly careless of the threatened loss of his
practice and even his life, gave to the wretch
most exhaustive examination, both before
and behind the prison bars, and he staked
his reputation on the assertion that the poor
wretch was the victim of irresponsible delu-
sion that would make his hanging judicial
murder, and he did not finch in asserting
this then most obnoxious opinion.
Only few months later Beard laid down
upon his bed in an uptown hotel to die.
| Pneumonia had fastened upon his delicate
lungs, and he knew that his illness was NOR
tai Did he then bewail his fate, cut off in
his prime, and when his life plans were far
reaching, and aimed for the benefit Of man
kindi Instead, he dictated to his wife his
experiences as a sufferer. He jotted down
with feeble hand what Beard intellectual
made of Beard moribund, and when his
breath came fast and short and with the
agony of pain from each inhalation he still
made effort to preserve his experience with
the hope that physicians might thereby learn
something Of this disease which would help
them master it when others were afflicted.
Once when he returned from the realms of
unconsciousness he made feeble effort to tell
its story, and the only agony he seemed to
suffer during his illness arose from his failure
more fully and satisfactorily to preserve the
record of his illness
We have read of suicides who with curious
intent have swallowed poison or filled their
lungs vito noxious gas and have set down in
a diary their impressions until the words be
came vague, the lines faint, and then the
pencil dropped And such record possesses 6
ghastly fascination for those who read it
like the echo Of one who shouts as he passe,
over the Styx; but Beard thought he wa,
serving humanity when he gave his last mo
ments to the record of his dying experience
and he was right. Physicians have read tina
record with profit and perhaps have beer
enabled to save lives thereby.-New Yorl
