A marriage was performed in Peo-
ria, ILL.,, the other day between an
American girl and Chinaman. 1t
was a runaway match from Chicago.
The bride was Miss Lizzie Fairman,
and her step-father, a saloon-keeper,
opposed the match SO violently that
the couple were forced TO clOpc. The
groom was a Chinese physician named
Ling. He is about 30 years old, and
claims to have good practice, not
only among the people of his own
nationality. but also the better class
Of Americans. In cCn.ersaJlOn the
young lady stated that she had known
the doctor for about five years, and
was thoroughly in love with him, "a
he was with her. She saw no OBJ

Don't Kiss Cats and Dogs.

II is said that an Italian savant,
having noticed with some disgust tho
the habit that many ladies have OF
kissing their pet cats and dogs, has
made n careful examination OF tho
saliva Of these animals, which may be
interesting to those indulging In such
osculations. The saliva OF the cat is
especially rich in all sorts OF minute
bacillia and contains a new form sell
dom absent. and so fatal that rabits
and guinea pigs inOculatcd with it
died in twenty-fOur hours. The dogs
saliva contains an even greater num-
bor OF bacteri, some of them OF par
ticularly disagreeable character, plus
occasional flakes and the eggs OF the
intestinal worms. Nor is the horse
free from these death dealing organ
isms. For among the diverse "bacilli,
streptococci and sprlllia," in its saliva
were three forms of noxious descrip-
