IoHN cHInAmAN.s cHlLpREN.

As q father John idolizes his boys,
but feels keenly the disgrace brought
by the advent of . daughter. He does
not consider her worthy of name, but
calls her No. /, or as the case may
be. He ignores her entirely In telling
the number of his children, counting
only the boys.
He considers her ~ without mind or
soul, and denies her the advantages Of
education which her brother receives.
As she grows up she is slave In her
own and her husbands house; and not
till she is old does she receive love and
reverence.
If child is taken sick, both John
and his wife think the soul has wan
dered away, and steps are taken to re.
call it. The mother calls at the open
door, "Soul come home" The father
goes out to seek II usually searching
about the nearest bridge.
At his cry of s"Coming, coming" the
mother looks carefully about the floor
and secures the first thing she sees.
This may be flea, or beetle or other in
sects, but is supposed to have within it
the missing spirit. Itais wrapped up
and joyfully placed under the pillow

If death comes instead. the child is
buried summarily and with scant cere-
mony. John considers his own coffin
one of the most valued and most neces-
sary pieces of furniture for his best
room, and his highest ambition is to
have an elaborate funeral.
He and the older members Of his
household have this ambition gratified
in proportion to their wealth and the
number of defendants.

POETRY OF KISSES.

Not all kisses are worthy of consid-
GRAFTON in scientific dissertation. No
one would attempt to define the kiss
given by one child TO another. 1t 10
absolutely meaningless because II ID
merely the qualification Of . harmless
longing to kiss. The kiss that . child
gives 70 its parents 10 an expression OF
revcrential or. ~ least, . respectful
and touching love. And 20 10 the kiss
of the old. 1t u purely ideal; oil the
dross 10 refined out Of II. There ID
sentiment in 1t but no fire. The kiea
that reaches the measure of transport
is the kiss that the lover places on the
lips of his sweetheart, and In the kiss
that the sweetheart gives in exchange
there il the same measure of ecstacy.
Perhaps there is more. Who can sayg
For nature has made the woman the
finer organization of the two and it is
fair to presume that the fine 0rganlza-
tons enjoy In q higher degree the joys
OF existence. The good-natured reader
will overlook all mistakes Of judgment,
am sure, In diagnosing this fieeting
thing. will not attempt to dissect the
kiss of childhood, the kiss OF the old
the kiss of filial or parental love or the
kiss cOnlugai. Inc KISS Oh cnllunOOu
Is pure and unsullied by single emo
ton. The kiss of old age is reverential.
The kiss of final love is tender. The
kiss OF parental love Is unfathomabie.
The kiss of husband and 'wife-well,
those that are not hypocrltical are the
highest type of the kiss. for they are
the blending of purity, of reverence,
of tenderness, of deep sol,citude. Alas,
that there are not more of such kisses
that are genuinel There are other
kisses, such as the purely physical kiss,
that has no artistic lights and shades
about it, no blending OF the spirit and
the flesh. 1t is of the earth earthly. II
Is pure matter, and if there is no soul
in it. why put it IN the category OF
those kisses that have . touch of the
soul in them?
