KISSING A DANGEROUS HABIT.

In these days of bacteria there is no
more foolish ard dangerous habit
than that Of kissing. The germs of
disease carried about in the mouth and
on the lips of human beings are as
numerous as the sands on the sea
shore, and there is no more certain
way Of sowing and spreading disease
than that of oscillation. Lovers may
be pardoned for indulging in the anna
tory delight of kissing, and tender
parental affection may be excused for
thus gratifying the endearments for
offspring, but the general habit is
most pernicious. 1t is nothing but a
habit; it means nothing and yet young
mothers go into society and kiss
around generally, carrying back to the
nursery the seeds of lifelong disease.
Especially do we protest against the
habit of subjecting defenseless babies
to the custom. We are often surprised
that mothers encourage everybody to
kiss babe" We have seen mothers
insist upon old snaggle toothed wo-
men, coughing and hawking old men
whose breath would knock one down
in close room, kissing the babe, poor
innocent, pure thing Why, the people
would not be 80 offensive to the olfact
cries if they were not diseased from
the tip OF the tongue to the pit of the
stomach, and still they are permitted
to kiss babies and children at their
own sweet will, and if they
do not they are sidered
by mothers unfeeling. There lie
not one man or woman over AZ
who do not carry on their lips, teeth
and in their mouths thousands upon
thousands of bacteria that they scatter
broadcast through the nurseries of the
country by kissing. The thing is toe
general anyhow and entirely too pro
miscious. Even a stranger will stop {
baby carriage on the street and if thu
nurse does not permit them to kiss thu
baby she is considered Jude and illna
tured. Give us rude and illnaturet
nurses if they will put q stop to thi
pernicious disease breeding custom.
meansrnothing we have heard ladie
who kissed others apparently yer.
willingly and with delight, remark at
forwards, my goodness thatIwoman'
breath nearly paralyzed me- Evel
the association that subjects one to tn
intimacy of person by fondling
kissing and contact is resented
by a refined, we'll bred woman or man
But persons who have arrived at tn
age of discretion may kiss as much a
they please, although kissing is not al
evidence that they have arrived at al
age of discretion. They can do a
they please, but our plea is for tn
innocents, the baby in the nurse
arms, the tiny little lady toddlin
along with her doll. This is the elias
of people we plead for. Do not subjec
them to the diseases of i'll health O
age by kissing them. The little thing
cannot defend themselves and yo
may leave on their tender lips bacteri
that will blossom into diphtheria
scarlet fever, consumption or the NOR
fatal germ of cancer. Give the littl
tots a fair chance to preserve their vii
gin purity of health and quit this pre-
miscuous habit of kissing.

measures by blocking the wheel of leg

HISTORY OF THE MATCH.
The Little indispensable Is Less Than
Hundred Years Old.
From London Notes and Queries.

So From London Notes and Queries.
The lucher match has attained its pres
ent high state of perfection by long Sc.
ries of inventions of various degrees OF
merit, the most important of which re-
suited from the progress of chemical sci
ence.
Starting from the ingenious finder box
of our Saxon ancestors, the first attempt,
so far as l know, to improve on the old
sulphur match was made in 1905 by Chan
eel, a French chemist, who tipped cedar
splints with paste of chlorate of potash
and sugar.
On dipping one of these matches into a
little bottle containing asbestos wetted
with sulphuric acid, and Withdrawing it,
it bursts into flame. This contrivance
was introduced into England some time
after the battle of Waterloo, and was
sold at high price, under the name of
Prometheans. l remember being struck
with amaZement when | saw a match
thus ignited
Some time after this man named
Heurtner opened a shop on the south side
of the Strand, opposite the Church of ST.
Clement Dane. 1t was named the Light
house. and he added this inscription to
the mural literature of London
To save your knuckles time and trouble,
sc Heurtner S hyperion
An ornamental open moiree metallique
box, containing fifty matches and the sui
phuric acid asbestos bottle, was sold for a
shilling. 1t had large sale, and was
known in the kitchen as the Hugh Perry
Heurtner also brought out Vesuvians,
consisting of cartridge containing chlor-
ate of potash and sugar and a glass bead
full of sulphurio acid. On pressing the
end with pair Of nippers, the bead was
crushed and the paste burst into fame.
This contrivance was afterward more
fully and usefully employed for firing the
gunpowder in the railway fog signals
We now come to Walker He was drug
gist at Stockton-on-Tees, and in 1927 pro
duoed what he called Congreves, never
making use of the word lucifer, which
was not yet applied to matches.
His splints were first dipped in sui
phur, and then tipped with the chlorate
ofpotash paste, in which gum was sub
stituted for sugar and there was added
! a small quantity of sulphide of anti
mony.
The match was ignited by being drawn
through fold of sandpaper with pres
sure; but it often happened that the
tipped part was torn off without igniting.
or, if igpited, it sometimes scattered balls
of fire about, burning the carpet and even
igniting lady's dress. These matches
were held to be so dangerous that they
We're prohibited by law in France and
Germany.
The first grand improvement in the
manufacture took place in 1888, by the in
PRODUCTION Of phosphorus into the paste,
and this seems to have suggested the
word lucifer, which the match has ever
since retained.
When phosphorus was first introduced
to the matchmaker, its price was four
guineas per pound, but the demand for
it soon became so great that it had to be
manufactured by the ton, and the price
quickly fell to half a crown per pound.

A woMAN's HAND


is pretty valuable. Many man has given
up all he possessed to get one, but that
was sentiment, not law. An, Illinois
woman recovered 81, 700 for the loss of a
hand or at the rate Of So 400 pair. This
is somewhat more than a woman's wrists
are valued at. A Miss Jones, nurse of
Chicago, was paid for one fractured wrist
at the rate of $4,000 pair. The arm of
the woman of to-day is worth more than
a whole woman-and beautiful one at
that-was worth in days gone by. Miss
Sweely of Ottawa, Ill, was given $4,000
for one, but that was small figure and
only goes to show that the Illinois arm
has not the legal value of the Massachu-
sets arm. A Mrs. Shaw of the latter
state was awarded $4,000 for the loss of
one arm and the Gripping of another in
a railway accident. A new trial was Sc
cured by the railway company and the
arms were found TO be worth 200 On
a third trial they increased to $22, 800, or
Sll,25O each. The next time you shake
