Ki.sinr on the st.<e.

Nobody on the stage" said an old actress, who used to be a reign ing star many years ago, neither man nor woman, kisses from choice. At least I have never known it to be so. It is not a pleasant operation, no matter how much people like one another. They are both covered with paint, grease and powder, and the contact of two faces, or even of the lips, is unusually unpleasant.
 Any sort of an actor or actress, if they know anything of their art, can simulate kissing quite as effectively as if the kiss were real "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Story About Ex-Governor Curtin.

Ex-Governor Curtin stopped of here on his way to Philadelphia. While governor, he said, "a friend of mine called to see me, and in the course of conversation asked me whether could tell him where to get good horse, as he wanted to buy one, but wanted a first class ami nal
 II told him I was no judge of horses, but pointed to Dr. Ruther- ford, an old Harrisburg physician, now deceased, who was present, and said, The doctor there can give you the desired information
 'The doctor said. Do you want a first class animalf
 T do, said the friend
 Well, sir.' replied the doctor, you can't go amiss in buying any horse you see within a radius of forty miles of Harrisburg, for all the bad horses have been bought up and turned over to the government for the use of the army.'"-Harrisburg Patriot.

Kitty's Idea

The bright sayings of Kitty, one of the servants in an Asbury Park ho- tel, are a constant source of amuse- ment to the guests. The other day she was shown a Chinese Testament printed on rice paper. "Bedad, said the girl, after she had looked the little book over, it do be as queer in looks es the Chinamen do be them selves. No wonder the hathen have crooked eyes if they have to read the loikes of that. New York Tribune

crr,ons rricks of memory.

One of the queerest freaks of the mem
orv is the trick-often enough noted for
that matter-which some peoples men,
ories have of seeming to recall only the
things that the mind never made any
effort to remember, and letting so irrev-
ocably al the things that the mind did
consciously attempt to store up. Pos
sibly tle Listener has once before told
the story of friend of his, whose occu-
patton IS more or less literary. who can
remember but one single piece of poetry,
and that was piece of doggerel that
his seat mate in school once learned! All
the divine verse that he himself has oft
en- labored to commit is gone forever;
but this piece of doggerel which the
other boy labored to learn, but probably
totally forgot in month or year,
sticks fast in his mind.
Everybody's memory has tendency
to hold fast to mischief and nonsense
and let serious and important things go.
However, this very characteristic of the
memory is thing that can be made Use
of if we know how to do it. If we are
bright enough at the right time to take
in these Useful things somewhat after
the easy and enjoyable fashion that we
take the agreeable nonsense, the chances
are that they will stick by us.-Boston

Rirds and sxmnathx.

A pair of terms have been seen to aid a
wounded companion on the water. In
this case they lifted it from the surface
and tried to assist it to fly. The terms
not only showed sympathy but were
able to translate it into action. Other
birds, either less intelligent sorIess indif-
ferent to the danger which the presence
of a human spectator suggests, exhibit
the same concern for wounded mates or
companions by flying round them or
alighting- near the sufferer. st. John
mentions case of sheIdrake which
would rot. leave its wounded mate, and
peewits will sometimes return and
hover over wounded birds, especially
early in the year, before the full grown
young have learned the extreme caution
which marks their behavior later in the
sesson.-London Spectator. ~

them both out.
The preacher stopped in the middle Of
his exhortation. The walls blazed forth
with horrors traced in burning, snaky
outlines. There was convulsive gasp,
a scream from 200 throats and STAN

window, and, though rheumatic, out
ran all his parishioners. Then my
ghostly confederates appeared, uttering
dismal groans. Scores of the terrified
