Death in q Kiss.

"Remember, said prudent ply
sician to his wife as he was leaving
home for few days, land do no
let the children kiss anyone"
"Is it possible. asked a surprised
third party who was present, "tha1
you consider it necessary to give
such instructions as these? Where
is the danger?'
"The danger is so complicated
and yet so certain that it would
take too much time to describe il
here" said the doctor. "In my case
all kinds Of people visit my Office
to consult me, and they often wait
hours. If one of my children hap.
pens to come in they are almost
certain to talk to it, and you know
almost the first impulse with peo-
Pile who notice children is to kiss
them. Bah (! it makes me shudder
tainted and diseased breaths, lips
blue with can, foul and decayed
teeth. You would kill a stranger who
would waylay your young daughter
and kiss her by force; but the help
less, innocent, six-year-old child,
susceptible as a flower to every
breath that blows, can be saluted
by every one that dares to salute it.
I tell you it was not Judas alone
who was betrayed by kiss. Hun
dreds of lovely, blooming children
are kissed into their graves every
year."
"But, doctor, how can a mother
be so ungracious as to refuse to al
low people to notice her children?'
"There need be no ungracious-
ness about it, or, if there were, which
is the more important, the safety
and well-being Of the child, or the
permitting of a habit of ill-breeding
and doubtful morality at best? Let
the mother teach her child that it
is not kitten or lap dog, to be
picked up and fondled by every
stranger, and instruct it to resist
any attempt to kiss it. Why, there
are agents, peddlers of household
wares, who make it a custom to
catch up prattling child, kiss and
pet it, and 80 interest the mother
that she will buy something she
does not want. l tell you there is
death in a kiss! The lamented
Princess Alice of Hesse took deph-
iberia from the kiss of her child
and followed it in death. Diphthe-
ria, scarlet fever, malaria, blood
poisoning and death lurk in these
kisses" ."-Agnostic Journal.

With q Shillalah.

It was the rule in Ireland at one
time that after an execution the
body should hang half an hour, but
the sheriff from mistaken lenity,
would on some occasions look away
after the prisoner had been turned
off, while the friends of the culprit
would hold up their companion by
the waistband of the breeches so
that the rope would not press upon
his throat.
When the half hour was expired
the deceased was put into 9 cart,
which was driven at a gallop along
the stony road. This jolting gem
orally brought the prisoner to. One
such recovery was so complete that
the resuscitated man sat up in the
coffin and gave three cheers. One
of his friends was so shocked at
this indecent conduct that he hit
the ex-corpse on the head with his
shillalah and finished him. The
question then arose whether the
assailant could not be tried for
murder, but it was ruled that no
man could be successfully charged
with the murder Of ! man who was
already dead in law.

Goodness Saved Him.

Some years ago the Duke of Wei.
lington was sitting at his library
table, when the door opened, and
without announcement in stalked
figure of singularly i'll omen.
WHO are you?" asked the Duke
in his short and dry manner, look
ing up without the slightest change
of countenance upon the intruder.
II am Apollyon. l am sent here
to kill you"
"Kill me? Very odd"
II am Apollyon, and I must put
you to DEATH"
" 'Bliged to do it to-day?"
II am not told the day or the
hour; but | must do my mission. "
''Very inconvenient; very busy ;
great many letters to write. Call
again, or write me word. I'll be
ready for you."
The Duke then went on with his
correspondence. The maniac, ap-
palled, probably, by the stern, i'm
movable old gentleman, backed out
of the room, and in half an hour
was in an asylum.-London lid

What the Third Party Wants.

The Enterprise IS continually
asking what the objects of the thirc
party are in this campaign. The
Chronicle will enlighten it. The fol
lowing dialogue recently occurred
between two noted characters, Uncle
Sam and John Bull, at the tele
phone:
Uncle San-Hello! That you
Mr.. Bull2gs s82%
John Bull-Yes! What do you
want?
U. S.-We want free coinage OF
silver. Can we have it.
J. B.-Not by dog-goned sight,
if the court knows herself and
think she do.
U. S.-Why not? t -
J. B.-Because it would make
silver worth one hundred cents on
the dollar, and we would have to
pay forty cents more on the ounce
for your silver with which we buy
our wheat and other supplies from
India. This would increase the
price of wheat and other supplies
about thirty per cent. We won't
stand it.
U. S.-But, Mr.. Bull, we have
both silver and wheat to sell, and
that's the reason our people want
free silver.
J. B.-The people "be damned" /"
What do we care for the people?
U. S.-But the people are about
to make US trouble about this ques-
|-tion, and something must be done
or they will enact free silver bill
themselves. What will VIE do?
j. B.-Get up q racket over the
seal question; trot out the old tariff
scarecrow or shake the bloody shirt ;
anything to attract their minds
from the money question.
U. S.-But these schemes won't
work any longer. The people are
hungry and clamorous.
]. B.-Feed 'em soup. I'll have
Salisbury to send you a receipt to
make cheap soup. Now, don't
bother me any more. I'm busy at
a game of baccarat and collecting
my rents from Ireland. Good-by.
u. S.-Good-by, John. Have the
Bank of England to take good care
of John Sherman's picture. He's
a good fellow and will stand up for
an "honest dollar"
J. Bob! yes, he is England's
best friend in America. Give him
my best, and tell him we English
men think he's bully boy. Now,
good-by.
U. U.S.-Good-by. We'll try to fool
the people a little longer, but they
are getting on to our racket.-Vir-
ginia (Nev. } Chronicle.

To Keep Away Mosquitoes.

A correspondent who has had
considerable experience in camp
ing says that out of sympathy with
thousands who have elected to
spend more or less of their summer
under canvas he would like to make
known the way in which he once
secured lasting peace from the arch
enemy of the camper, the mosquito.
He was camped ON the bank Of a
lake and the mosquitoes hung around
in clouds, SO that sleep was out of
the question. After trying every
expedient he could think of, he
found among his stores piece of
gum camphor. Taking a piece
about the size of a walnut he placed
it on a tin plate and set fire to it.
II burned as rapidly as pitch, with
a clear bright flame, and apparently
no smoke, butt acted like charm.
In two minutes the hated ping of
the mosquito had ceased and in five
minutes not one of the tormentors
remained within the walls of the
tent. Then covering his one win
dow with mosquito netting, he slept
undisturbed the sleep OF the just.
It may, however, be we'll to state
that while the fumes of gum cam
phor are distasteful to the mosquito,
they are not particularly beneficial
to human beings, and under similar
conditions it would be advisable for
the camper to see that supply of
fresh air is introduced into the tent
before going to sleep.

Sunday Labor.

Prince Bismarck has some pretty
clear convictions on Sunday labor.
He says: "The law imposing absti-
nence from Sunday work under aid
circumstances does not please me,
for / cannot get my conscience to
approve of it. Take this case, tor
instance: / ride through the fields
on Sunday morning, and rejoice
at the prospect of a good crop. In
the distance / see an industrious
workman who is working in his
little plot of ground. The law bids
me take the man to task, for Sum
day labor is forbidden. The con-
sequences may be imagined; the
man goes home in a bad temper;
his wife will hardly believe that he
has not the right to work in his own
plot. The man gets angry and he
COOS to the pub The rigor of the
law spoils the poor mans Sunday.

Interpretation Of keeping the Sab
bath wholly. When l consider the
matter from the gentleman farmers
point of view, ] think that if I see
such q laborer on my ride through
the fields / shall not see him, but
turn my horses head and hasten
away, in order to avoid causing un-
pleasantness to the industrious la
borer, for it might be that my in
reference with his Sunday labor on
the little plot of ground that possi-
bly, supplies him with vegetables or
potatoes for the whole year dis
turbed the peace and happiness of
his household"

application of electricity to domes-

have been forging ahead in the same
field, and with most gratifying re-
suits. Complete sets are now being
manufactured in England, by the
use of which an immense reduction
in the labor of household duties
can be enjoyed. The sets include
an electric kettle, which boils water

A Curious Pig.

An account Of curious pig
comes from Australia. A Mr.. Ii
Mortemore, living at Seriana Greek,
Queensland, has lately shot an an.
imal which he describes as sort ot
tree-climbing pig. For a number
of years wild pigs have been numer.
Gus in that locality. and his theory
is that the original or common pig
has been changed, partly by the
necessities of his wild life, into the
variety he has discovered.
The captured animal weighs about
100 pounds and is pretty fat, with
bristly brown fur, small black spots,
snout and ears like a pig; but the
jaw is furnished with front teeth
like rodent, and has also large
CANNES and powerful back grinders.
The fore feet are furnished with
hook-like claws, but the hind ones
with only two hooks upon each
hoof. The tail is thick, about q foot
long, and highly prehensile, and in
q state Of rest it is usually carried
by the animal in what is known as
Flemish COLL" A Flemish coil,
I believe, somewhat resembles the
figure s.
This last item about the new Aus
tralian pig is impressive. It shows
that this pig 8 ideas about the proper
management for q tail was novel
and striking, and that he must have
devoted some attention to the
subject.
This Aurtralian animal has other
peculiarities. It is furnished with
q pouch, which It appears to use for
carrying q supply Of food while
travelling or migrating to fresh pas
lures. "In drought tho animal
climbs trees and hangs by it's tail
while it gathersits food by its hook
claws"
Mr.. LIE Mortemore intends ensnar-
ing more Of these pigs. He declares
that the flesh is excellent, "resem-
bling veal and ham pie" /"
A pig that climbs trees, carries
his tail in 4 Flemish coil and his
