Kissing Dangerous.

kissing may be an art, an exercise, a
duty, and pleasure under favoring cir
cumstances, but give US the favoring cir
cumstances first always. The indiscrim-
mate kissing of patients is uncaIled for,
unexpected, and unwise. The kissing of
children, unless they are your own, should
be with limitations. And the kissing of a
corpse, however dear the dead may have
been, should not be allowed. Many con-
tagious diseases have thus been trans
mitted and it is always fraught with dan
ger.
The daughter of Queen Victoria, Prin-
cess Alice Maud Mary, lost her life from
kissing her four-year-old daughter just
dead from diphtheria. Besides, after I'M
dertakers have prepared a corpse for bur-
ial, very many times, the preparations
used for the preservation of the features
of the dead. and placed on the face for
that purpose, are deadly poisous.

THE San Francisco Bulletin pays Sacra-
mento the compliment Of saying that in no
other instance in-tne political history of
the State has there been such careful and
well ordered arrangements for the comfort
of a State Convention, as that made by
