Heaven preserve me from the perfume
tory kiss Of two women. There is some
thing about kiss of the kind that is a.
dismal as the Desert of Sahara. There
is not even one oasis in it to mark the
dreary waste. 1t is worse than melody
measured off with a yard stick, or poetry
doled out by the quart. There is no in
spiration about it none whatever Of any
kind. What dull, sodden affair is the
face of a pretty girl who is kissing the
lips Of another pretty girl. How thal
same pretty face becomes Illuminated
with the fire of the soul when it Is kissed
by-well perhaps this is getting to be
an oyer-delicate matter, and something
ought to be left to the Imagination OF
the reader. However, there is no rhap-
sody in the kiss exchanged by two girls,
or two women. 1t is as uninviting as the
fields In winter time.

The widow of the late Senator Logan
Is woman with a discerning eye and can
detect a counterfeit of nobility at first
sight. She chaperoned a couple Of daugh
ters of the millionaire Pullman, of car
fame, to Europe. There they were es
teemed as great catches" and number
less titled gentlemen were anxious to re-
coup their wasted finances by bestowing
their titles upon these rich girls and get
ting possession of their ducats. How
neatly some of these aspirants, none of
whose offers seem to have been desired,
were disposed of by Mrs. Logan it is
treat to hear A first approach TO her,
the only correct medium for such mes
sage, of course, came from a German
gentleman, who spoke for his friend who
would fain contract a marriage with Frau
lein Pullman. ooh, madam, he is a
Baron, and a man of high position"
"And will you tell me what is Baron,
was the quick inquiry of the sharp-witted
woman who was thus addressed. "Oh, he
is a magistrate who owns landed estate"
"a magistrate !" broke in our wise Amer
ican. "A magistrate Oh, you mean a
Justice of the peace Do you know there
are forty-four hundred of them in Chica-
20, where we live?' "But, madam, he
owns an estate, he holds high position
in Germany" He did not know what
he was inviting "Well, don't think it
matters" said Mrs. Logan. Il suppose
each one of these young ladies owns 30
900 or 10000 acres in America in her
own right. They've all the land they
want and wouldn't care for any more. "
And thus ended the suit of the Baron.

The Size of Heaven.

Editor of the Atlanta Constitution
Does any book or commentary on the
Bible tell the size of Heaven? W.
The twenty-frst chapter of Revelation
gives the measurement. The most inter-
esting calculation on the subject is that OF
Capt J. B. Sharkey, a measurer of vessels
in the Boston custom-house. He takes
the statement in Revelation Xxi and
figures it out thus "And he measured
the city with a reed 10000 furlongs. The
length and the breadth and heighth are
equal" Twelve thousand furlongs-7,-
920000 feet-cubed-497 1913 0SS, ,OOO,-
000000,000 feet. Reserving one-half OF
the space for the throne and court Of
heaven, and one-half of the remainder
for streets, we have 124, 1913, ,272, 900, 0,00O,-
100000 feet cubic. Divide this by f.
096 cubic feet in a room sixteen feet
square and there will be 30,921 ,S43, $780,
100000 rooms. We will now suppose
the world always did and always will
contain 9O0,OOO,OOO people and that
generation lasts 31i years, making in all
2,97O,OOOO0O every century, and that the
world will stand million years, or TO-
600 centuries, 29,7OO,OOO,OOOOOO inhab-
itants. Now, suppose there were 100
worlds like this, equal in number of in.
habitants and duration of years, ttal
of 2,97O,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO persons, there
would be more than 100 rooms Is feet
square for each and every person.

There's No substitute for Leather.

Leather is n unique material. There
is no substance in any way analogous to
it. Flexibility and durability are oppo-
site qualities that no other product pos
sesses in such marked degree. In the
tanned skin the gelatin and tannin, the
animal and the vegetable kingdom, are
combined in an indissoluble union which
will withstand the continuous frctional
wear which shoes, harness, betting, &c,
are subjected to better than anything else
1t is the one commodity for which there
is absolutely no substitute. Cotton, wool,
linen and silk are to some extent inter
changeable; wood, iron, stone are fre-
quently used in lieu Of each other, but
Notwithstanding the scientific research
and discovery of the present age, nothing
has been invented to supersede or obviate
the necessity for leather. With the sin
gle exception of breadstufis, none of the
great staples of commerce has such nu-
merous constituency. Every inbabitan
of the country, without regard TO age,
sex, color or condition in life, is to a
greater or less degree a consumer Of 1t.

NIGHT AND WIND.

"The night is light and chill,
Stars are awake in the sky,
There's cloud over the moon;
Round the house on the hill
The wind cresps with its cry
Between a wall and Groom.
az hear the voice of the wind,
The voice of the wind in the night,
Cry and sob and weep,
As the voice of one that hath sinned,
Moaning aloud in its might
In the night when he cannot sleep.
'Sleep? No sleep is about,
What remembering sin
Wakes and watches apart?
The wind walls without.
And my heart is wailing within,
And the wind is the voice of my heart

Martin Weeks Resists Arrest and Uses a
Sharp Knife.
Martin Weeks, a muscular young hood
lum of twenty-one years, was arraigned
before Justice Stilsing this morning for
atrociously assaulting Policeman Leyins.
Policeman Murphy testified that at four
O'Clock yesterday morning he found
Levins at Monmouth and First streets
bleeding from wound in the face
Levins had Weeks and Murphy took
the prisoner and assisted Levins to the
Gregory street police station. There it
was discovered that he had received two
ugly gashes under the left eye, one OF
which it was feared would cause him to
lose his eye.
He was attended by physician, who
sewed up the wounds and said that al
though Levins would probably be SCARED
for life he would not lose the eye.
Policeman Levins, with his eye and
face swathed IN bandages, appeared
against the prisoner. He said that there
was drunken row at Monmouth and
First streets and he ran up to stop the
fight.
Weeks was the most demonstrative and
the policeman attempted to arrest him.
Weeks resisted and on the way to the
station pulled out knife and cut the
policeman with it.
Weeks said that he was too drunk to
know what he was doing and had no in
tention of injuring the officer. He was
committed for trial

STREET AND WATER BOARD.

A Discussion About the New Lincoln
Avenue Sewer.
Before the opening of the Board OF
Street and Water Commissioners meet
ing Counsellor Herbert Stout, represent
ing the property owners along Lincoln
street, appeared before the Committee on
Streets and Sewers and argued against
the final assessments made by the Com
missioners upon those benefited by the
Lincoln avenue sewer.
Among other technical charges he
claimed that the advertisement of the
proposed improvement had not been
properly inserted. Clerk Bouton pro-
duced a copy of the advertisement as it
appeared in one of the daily papers,
which Mr.. Stout was obliged to admit
was correctly inserted; but said he was
sure he had read in some of the papers
the advertisement which was not inserted
in the shape the law calls for.
He claimed that the assessments were
not equitable. as four hundred feet OF
property twas benefited owned by people
who are not assessed.
In response to the request of the Com
missioners, Water Registrar Heller pre-
sented supplementary statement from
the Water Department, showing that from
May / to September 80, 1889, the total
amount of cash received and placed into
the hands of the City Treasurer was
1852, ,SS5.21. The disbursements were S36o.-
911.6S, and rent arrearages since 1871
amounting to si95, ,278 President Somers
announced that man had been sent out
to notify all persons in arrears that if they
did not pay up within five days their
water supply would be cut off.
Two bids for repairing Montgomery
street, from Jersey avenue to Colgate
street, were submitted. John M. Sham
mons was S26,044 and p. j. Condon's
$23, ,522.20.
The bids for repairing Bergen square
are as follows:-Henry McGiying, 49,

263.50; Michael Mullery, $3310.50; Thomas
Harrington, 81, ,991 20, and Dennis Byrnes,
81, sos. Byrnes' bid was thrown out be-
cause it failed to contain one essential
