Kissing,


When INDUCED in by
the opposite sexes. pro-
vided existing condi-
tons are compatible,
brings ecstacy sublime;
but too often the har-
mony of this heavenly
rapture is mared, even
destroyed, by the dis
cordance that results
when the breath of one
is obnoxious to the
other, perhaps wreck
ing foul from mouth
and gums unhealthy
and unclean, or teeth
decayed and flithy,
then is this divine
source of greatest joy
and bliss transformed to
one conducive to aver
sion and disgust.
And who will gainsay
that many divorces have
found in this their pri-
mary cause, or that to it
is directly attributable
the failure of number
less disconsolate indi-
viduals to find a genial
partner to comfort them
through life?

The "squawks."

NIX. EDITOR Noticing an article IN
your paper about "Squawks," I asked a
fisherman what kind of birds "Squawks'
are, why" said he, "a regular squawk. u
That settled it.
I think the kind of bird meant is the
bitteru-the 60taNyWs StellaSiS. It's name
seems to differ with localities. In some
places it is called the quay-bird, the bull
squash, the night bird, the plum pud-
ding, the thum gugin, and the stake dri
yer. It frequents constantly, branches
and marshy places, aud unless started
up from its solitary retreat, is seldom seen
on the wing earlier than an hour before
shutdown. Their place of nesting is in
pine groves, bordering on their feeding
grounds There is another called the
little bittern often seen in branches. They
are not larger than king fishers.
The great bitteru has a harsh voice,
and when unsteady inclined makes tbs
marsh resouud at night with plum-pud-
ding, plum-puddine, which, if calm, can
be heard for mile The sound is made
by filling the throat with air till it fairly
bulges and then letting it out something
like turkey gobbler, only with deeper
bass. They got the name of stake dri-
yer from their habit of standing perfectly
erect from foot to point of bill aud then
a most singular note that sounds
precisely like that made by an axe when
a stake is driven in the marsh. As they
stand erect, the crop is inflated and the
sound reed out with great energy.
They are very dangerous to handle care

Wheat Stacks Burned.

Cooper Davidson, on the Campbell
farm at Slaughter Beach, was the victim
of an accident which might have been
much worse on Monday last He had
commenced to thresh wheat with an
engine and machine owned by T. f.
Robinson of near Milton, and had got
out about 400 bushels vixen the fire &C.
Cured. 1t was caused by plugged tube
in the boiler giving way and blowing the
burning coal over the stacks Of wheat
and threasher. At the beginning of the
season two new tubes had been put in
the boiler but a plugged tube that had
gone through the previous seasons work,
was permitted to remain, and it was this
that gave way last Monday with such
disastrous results. The boiler did not
explode-simply this plug blew ont and
scattered the burning coal. In less time
than it takes to tell this, every stack was
a mound of flames and before even the
belts could be removed the thresher was
burning so fercely that no one could go
near it. Mr.. Davidson lost about 100
bushels Ui wheat ani the owners loss on
thresher aud engine is not far FROM $500
more. The engineer was badly scalded
down one side but he was the ouly man
out of the many ON the yard who was
hurt.
