What Kisses Have Done.

That kiss has been of importance in
history we all know, and that women's
kisses have made and unmade King
doms. The most famous of kisses al
ways seem to me that one, or that many,
given by the Duchess of Gordon when
she recruited an entire regiment, the
Gordon Highlanders, better known as
the Ninety-second, by having each m an
take the Queens shilling" from be-
tween her teeth. SO that he had, if he
wanted, good opportunity to kiss her.
It is almo st unnecessary to say that the
gallant lsddies who fought so well at
Waterloo did not resist the charm of a
lovely woman's mouth. However, re-
member the kiss in vogue and just re-
member this, too:
You will find, my dear boy. that tho dearly
Which with rapture you snatched from the
half-wflling miss.
Is sweeter by far than the legalized kisses
You gave the same girl when you've made her a
Mrs.
This is slangy, but it's the sad, sad
truth.
Do you know how to kiss2 If you are
q man you give q semi-scornful and
misunderstanding smile at this ques-
ton and make no answer. If you are a
woman you laugh q merry laugh and
wonder what kind of kiss you are ex-
pected to be acquainted with. Why, the
latest, of course. And it is?-For yeur
sweetheart to stoop over you and kiss
you just back of your shell-like ear. If
You are wise that is where you put lit
tie perfume, and the chances are that
he will kiss you not once but twice
there and tell you that kissing you is
like putting ones lips to the heart of
great red rose. This is natural in him,
but it shows that he does not realize the
difference between q kiss made perfect
by art and that which is fower-like by
nature. What do I mean? That the
next thing to kissing flower is kissing
o baby. You take that in your arms,
you look in its clear eyes-eyes that
have never been saddened by looking
on anything but the pleasure of life
you put your lips to its rosebud of a
mouth and then you kiss it, and then
you know that you have inhaled the
perfume of flower the flower of the
hock.-Ne,c York Graphic.

Novels That Mean Some thing.

SO complete and searching has been
the survey of social life by the novelists
that the society of to-day, with all its
gradations and differences, could be re-
produced from the pages of fiction.
From the days of Fielding to those of
Charles Reade, English life has never
missed faithful record at the hands of
those who have comprehended it be-
cause they have pierced it with their
sympathetic insight. Every great po-
itical movement like Chartism, every
striking political incident like the Cor
don riots, every form of discomfort ard
agitation among the lower classes, has
had fit and often lasting record. While
George Eliot has set forth the tremen-
dous force Of inheritance and environ
ment, the vigorous and often coarse
brush of Dickens has painted, on a great
canvas, the homely life of the common
people; and the inimitable art of Thack-
cray, equally akin to irony and tears,
has made us permanent possessors of
the social habit and character of the
last century. The virile genius of
Biornson, in the latest work of his hand,
Flags in the City and the Harbor,
deals with some Of the most obscure
problem of social and family life;
Turguenief has made Russian character
under the pressure of sbsolutism COM
prehensible to us; Tolstoy commands
the attention of q new constituency Of
readers, deeply moved by the marvellous
fidelity with which he reproduces phases
Of experience, hidden processes of char
acter, at once remote and familiar; while
of lola it must be confessed, whatever
we think of his themes and his art, that
he at least assumes to lay bare the very
heart of certain social conditions in
France. Fiction is unquestionably the
most attractive and influential form
through which men of literary genius
express themselves to-day; and no fact
Of social significance. no human relation
ship. no class limitation. capacity, or
condition, will escape the instructive
search for life which possesses the gen

Night Air Far Better than FsuI Air

Night Air Far Better than Fsul Air.
An extraordinary fallacy is the dread
of the night air. What air can We
breathe at night but night air? The
choice is between pure night air from
without and foul air from within. Most
people prefer the latter, an unaccounta-
BILE choice. What will they say if it is
proved to be true that fully one-half of
all the diseases we suffer from are occa-
stoned by lpeople sleeping with their
windows shut? An open window, most
nights in the year, can never hurt any
one. In great cities night air is often
the best and purest to be had in twenty
four hours. l could better understand
shutting the windows in town during
the night, for the sake of the sick. The
absence of smoke, the quiet, all tend to
make night the best time for airing the
patient. One of our highest medical
authorities on consumption and climate
has told me that the air of London is
never so good as after 10 o'clock at night.
Always air your room, then, from the
outside air, if possible. Windows are
made to open, doors are made to shut, .
truth which seems extremely difficult Of
apprehension. Every room must be
aired from without, every passage from
within. World.

Sea Birds Still the Troubled Sees,


"Ol on troubled waters" has proved
to be so efiicacious in smoothing rough
seas, that mariners have begun 10 pro-
vide their ships with cans of fish oil and
oakum bags to be used in times ofgreat
storms against the buffeting of the
waves. Science might have learned
lessons from Dame Nature centuries
ago, and utilized oil for the safety of all
men who go down to the sea in ships.
Lieut.. Gibbons, of the navy, referring
to the use of oil ut sea, said q few days
ago: ITO close observers of sea-birds
on their own element during bad
weather it must have been shown that
however rough the ocean may be where
there are birds resting on the sea there
is scarcely q riple to disturb them. All
fish-eating birds, cape-pigeons, petrels,
ETC., EJECT oil from the mouth when
captured; and, doubtless, they adopt a
similar expedient to aid them in stilling
the waves when searching for food in
the sea. In the South Atlantic and
South Pacific oceans I have frequently
witnessed seo-birds floating in spaces of
seemingly quiet waters, when the sea
around was rough. The unusual smooth
ness of the water where the birds foated
was evidently induced by the quantities
of oil deposited by them upon the water,
either voluntarily or involuAtarily.-

Broadway.
There was considerable excitement raised
last evening about $50 o'clock on Broad
wav. in close connection with the Tenth
ward primary. The trouble was started
by drunken fghtin the Old Homestead
saloon. If any police officer ever deserved
praise for his patience and courage in
dealing with AN ngly and abusive prisoner,
Oaicer Dippold is that man. Fred Lea
yenworth, q Broadway character, had been
drinking heavily all day long and by eve
ming time was ready fol- a 'sscrap" Of any
kind. He succeeded in finding one in the
saloon and began the affair by smashing
glass, etc. Officer Dippold was on the
scene soon after it began and Immediately
took Leavenworth in charge, who resisted
dercely. The officer was compelled, after
exhausting every peaceable means to quiet
his prisoner, to strike him over the head
With his club. Leavenworth was locked
M with three charges to his credit In
the melee Dippold lost both hat and
shield, but recovered them soon after.
