Death to Insects.

Professor Lintner, New York state
,ntomologist, has made a microscopic
examination Of the insect collections of
single electric light, and estimates that
he debris which he inspected repre-
iented SO, 600 insects. As many of the
mailer forms of insect life probably
constituted the larger portion of those
attracted to destruction by the light,
lie believes that the average number of
Insects destroyed in a night by a single
electric light is nearly 100, 000
The larger portion Of Professor Lint
ler's specimen collection from one light
consisted of minute gnats, midges, crane
lies and similar small two winged in
iects. No mosquitoes were discovered
lmong the victims, as they are not at
racted to the lights. There were, how

THE KISSING HABIT.

What can be purer, tell me, Or so trustfnl and
true as this
The futterng kiss of a baby meeting its mother S
kiss2
Kisses that leave a memory enduring through al
ter years,
Embodying love and tenderness, unfettered by
doubts and fears
tits on her babv's kisses the heart Of the mother
lives,
Lavishing on its rosebud mouth the love sue SO
freely gives;
Wasting wealth Of tenderness that only IhoIher
knows,
The past and future united in the kisses she be
slows
What is more blissfu tell me- than the kisses that
love has blessed,
The kiss Of a youth and maiden, his lips upon her
lips pressed?
When they kiss for their loves sake only, simply
its sweets to taste
And waken their throbbing pulses, in the luxury
Of waste,
TIL they'd barter the world and its riches, think
all well lost, for this
To know the passionate sweetness that is merged
in lovers kiss,
One kiss that is longer than twenty, twenty than
one more brief,
Making their lives all sunshine-unshadowed by
dread or grief.
What is more sacred, tell me, than the kisses SO
softly pressed
On the lips of an aged mother by those her heart
loves best?
sader children gathered about her, to woman and
manhood grown
The kiss of filal affection, hers always, and hers
alone.
mothers love of a lifetime, its devotion she
deems repaid
In kisses of reverence holy, on her trembling lips
thus laid;
They brighten and cheer her pathway that leads
to eternal peace,
And comfort the heart faithful till its throb
bings forever cease.
Say not kisses are out of fashion or that they have
been tabooed;
Take back the sweeping assertion and all that the
words include.
The kisses of sister and mother, the kisses Of
lovers true,
The kisses of father and brother, think what they
may mean to you

Memorial to wendell phillips,

The proposition to erect in this city a
memorial hall of such a size and char
acter as to appropriately indicate the
extent Of Boston's veneration for one
of her most eminent citizens-Wendell
Phillips-will undoubtedly call forth a
quick and generous response. 1t is the
intention to dedicate the hall in 1898
The building is to be essentially a
Cooper institute" for Boston, with
memorial features that will make it
stand to the period it commentaries as
Pilgrim hall and Forefathers' monu-
ment to the first settlement of New
England and as Faneuil hall and Bunk
er Hill monument to the revolutionary
era.
The work of collecting the necessary
money is in the hands of a legally cor
porated body, of which Gen. Benjamin
f. Butler is president and Gov. ]. @.
A. Brackett is treasurer, with a repre-
sentative and efficient board of direc-
tors. There is already quite an amount
assured toward the building and the
advisory board having the matter in
charge Is now moving to secure the ad-
ditional means, with particular and
Immediate reference to money for the
land on which the building is to be
erected. Boston Herald.

A Successful American Artist.

Hubert Herkomer, the lately elected
Royal Academician, whose picture the
"Last Muster" has made him famous,
was at one time an "Ohio boy, although
born in Bavaria. His parents brought
him to Ohio when he was . years old, but
they were not successful there and re-
turned later to England. There he was
naturalized and went to Munich. From
MUnich he returned again to England,
where he began to make comic cartoons.
He was employed for a time on The
London Graphic. His father was wood
carver and his mother music teacher.
