The price of kisses when taken against
a woman's notion appears to be rising.
The latest quotation was made In Ger
| mantown, Pennsylvania, where Alex Nc
Arthur, book agent, goes to jail for q year
for an unkissed kiss. That Is only part of
his punishment, too, for the husband of
the woman he tried to kiss and didn't, re-,
sponded to her call and pounded Macarthur
go that he was barely able to accompany
the policeman who was summoned to his
aid by neighbors who feared the husband
would kill him.
Notwithstanding the shutting down of
many of the silver mines in the west dur
ing the latter part of last year, it appears
that the production of silver during the
twelve months was largely in excess of
the production during the year previous.
From information which has been collected
by the Engineering and Mining Journal it
appears that the silver output of the United
States for 1892 was 60, ,00e, 900 ounces, an
increase of more than a million and
half ounces over the output for 1891. And
the silver men would like to have the gov
ernment buy 1t all.
The silver men are disgusted with the
news which comes from the gold mine of
Mt. Morgan, in Queensland, Austrslis, to
the effect that the prospecting which has
been carried on makes 1t evident that gold
bullion to the valus of scores of millions
of dollars will be taken from this deposit
before it is exhausted. Transitions in value
are rarely contrasted more strongly than in
this astonishing gold find. Ten years ago
the entire hill which goes by the name of
Mt Morgan was sold for 50, 200. Since
that time it hss paid in dividends to the
stockholders in the company that own the
mine more than s15. 600, 900, with the pros
pect of almost unlimited payments in the
future
A series of experiments is said to have
demonstrated that interesting relations |
may exist between red flannel, monkeys, |
beer and rheumatism. Two groups Of |
Gagged monkeys were abundantly supplied |
with beer by the experimenters, one group |
being clad in red flannel, the other group
left naked. ALI the naked monkeys con-
tracted rheumatism. and all the flannel
clad monkeys escaped. Then the expert
menters, having thoroughly cured the
rheumatic monkeys, clad them in flannel
and let the other group 60 bare. The sup
ply of beer was continued, and the bare
monkeys were attacked by the rheums-
tism, while the fsnnel-clad monkeys re-
covered. The experimenters declare the
beer made all the monkeys apt subjects for |
rheumatism, but that the flannel, by keep |
ing of cold air from the joints, prevented |
