THE practice of dcfacing natural
scenery with advertisements is not so
prevalent in the United States as it
was generation ago, and public SEN
timent is steadily growing against it.
The practice has recently developed in
England to such an extent that lovers
of nature recognize that some definite
action must be taken. The Thames val
ley. the most picturesque mountain
spots in Wales and the loveliest corners
of Dcvonshire have been greatly injured
by advertisements. The wcll-known

SANITARY scientists there are in this
age of realism who classify the kiss with
sewer gas and other agencies by which
noNious and infectious disease is propa-
gated. They advocate the abolition OF
the practice of kissing as remnant of
barbarous ignorance of the laws of
health. Such views are due to the germ
theory of disease and their transmissi-
bic qualities. Prudent parents, under
the instruction of physicians, guard
their young children jealously against
the indiscriminate kissing once in vogue,
lest poisonous germs be transmitted tc
the babies. 1t is reasonable precau-
ton, for undoubtedly the danger exists

warn him; but he was glued to the table.
Just rs the clocks were striking 2 a. M, how
ever he felt that he could move; and swiftly
gliding away from the attic, he hurried down
into the street and strained every nerve to
direct his course towards Highgate.
But every effort was vain; he was drawn,
against his win, to a house where an habitual
criminal whom his Lordship had let loose upon
society was engaged in preparing poisoned
food for family.
Having assisted in the mixing of the poison,
he passed on and found himself in a room with
q swindling company-director whom he had
let off with six months instead of 80 years /;
and here he assisted in the drawing up of q
