NEW YORK, Dec 16.-[SpaiaL Tenants
ofthe building at Il Broadway, where the
attempt to blow up Russell Sage was made,
are concerned about the present condition
Of the building, which many regard as pre-
carious On the fourth story in several
places there are large cracks in the side
walls.
''Did these cracks appear directly after
the explo ion?" was asked of tenant.
''No," was the response; "they have
been making their appearance ever since.
Every now and then new one will appear.
can see no way to account for it except by
the theory that the walls are settling"
An engineer who has an Office on the top
floor said: 81 do not think the building
unsafe. When 1 first made an inspection
thought it in very dangerous condition,
but now believe that the repairs being
made will strengthen it greatly. I would
not say that 1 consider it absolutely safe. 1
should be much more comfortable about nv
own personal safety in a newer building"

A Word to Farmers'

What is the matter With the farmers ?
This question has received variety of
answers from mapy sources. Whether
correctly or not at will make little differ
ence, provided farmers are set to thinking
and acting. There is no doubt but that
there Is something the matter with them,
especially in the Piedmont region. Far
mers are not devoted to their occupation.
That is the chief cause of all their tr'u-
,le. a young man starts out with lit
tie money, enough to stock one horse
farm aud begins crop. He has a vague
sort of feeling, that ho will abandon the
business at the end of the year ifevers-
thing does not turn out we'll. The farm
ess that are going to succeed are those
who stick to their farms. If they are
only renters, they determine to lay aside
little money each year until they are
aole To buy-ttths -ttthseiEE>eewwn-llastrtaa-~' lasrta:
When young man abandons the
farm the factory or the carpenters bench
or any other business, be runs q great
risk. In some of these occupations be
may handle little money and wear bet
ter clothes than he needs on the farm, but
10 the long run he does not accumulate
anything aud be is always dependent on
others for his daily bread. The mechan.
ic is often out of a job, the store clerk
is often dismissed the factory hand as
a general thing has no opportunity for
rising beyond certain level. The farm.
or always has job aud home and if
he is thrifty the meal tub is never
empty. Men who 60 to work on Spar

ments.
About seven years ago one armed ex-
Confederate went in below Blacks station
and bought tract ofland on time, pay
ments to be made in three years. He
owned two mules and had enough money
and provisions to carry him through the
year. He met each payment and then
reached out after another tract of land.
Meantime he bought house and lot at
Blacksbnrg. To day, after seven years
of we'll planned work on his farm, he has
paid for this property which is worth
$4,000. He has also been educating his
children and giving them chance. Now
if he had tried farming one year and the
Cherokee mills another and then sought
some piddling work about Blacksburg, he
would not have been worth five dollars
to. day. His family would not have own
ed home of their own. What that one
armed man has done, let our sturdy,
strong. .limbed farmers try to do.-Spar-

Professor Of Kissing.

I had the curiosity to call and i'll
quire into this osculatory science. The
professor is a quiet little man of de.
clining years, who teaches the art of
conversation, how to write letters, and
carries on brisk businessin in the answer
and regret line. He was once a con-
sui to some foreign port, and wears
distinguishing badges Of past Office.
eyes, teach kissing" he said; 1T
is very necessary accomplishment. L
teach the kiss active and the kiss pas
sive; the kiss social and the kiss po-
lite. I will show you my method. "
Thereupon the professor touched a
bell and two rather pretty girls, neatly
dressed, entered his little parlor.
miriam and Fanny, the school
kiss.
Tie young ladies turned toward
each other, held out hands, and bob
bing forward pecked like little birds at
each others cheek.
"NoW the good-by kiss.
This was slower and more solemn
event There was no smack, but they
fingered a moment, saluting each
other on the cheek as before.
"Do you teach the lovers kiss2"
II do, and have much success. My
son practices with his sister. / have
introduced the eye kiss, which is much
more serviceable and proper than his
lip kiss. The accepted lover kisses the
betrothed on the eye lids. 1t is very
afectionate and poetical.
I found that the old man taught
stage kissing. 1t was rather tame and
colorless, being mere mechanical sa-
lutte with closed lips. He assured me
that few people knew how to kiss well ;
that 1t was most neglected branch of
social education, and that his method
was SO correct that strangers could sa-
lutte each other with kiss with per-
feet propriety. Those who have seen
kissing on public promenade, at de-
pots and in cars, viii be pleased to
know that the smack is obsolete, and
that school of kissing will not allow
its pupils to make spectacles of them
selves in publc.--Cor. Detroit Free
