ALL ABOUT KISSES.

Some wag with plenty of time on
his hands has conceived the idea OF
hunting through the works of all
the prominent English and American
authors for the purpose OF gathering
all the adjectives with which they
qualify the word kiss.
The result OF his labor is that
kisses can be as follows: Cold,
warm, icy, burning, chilly, cool low
ing, indifferent, balsamic, fragrant.
blissful. passionate, aromatic, with
tears bedewed, long. soft, hasty,
Intoxicating, assembling, delicious
pious, tender, beguiling, hearty,
distracted, frantic, fresh as the morn
ing, breathing fire, divine, satanic,
glad, sad, superficial quiet, loud,
fond, criminal, heavenly, execrabie,
d avourine, ominous, tervent, parch-
ing, nervous, soulless, Supplying
Slight, careless, anxious, painful,
sweet, refreshing, embarrassed, shy
mate, ravishing. holy, sacred, firm,
trembling, electritying, ecstatic,
hurried, faIthless, narcotic, feverish
immoderate. ascivious, sisterly,
brotherly and paradisiacaL. The
task seemed interminable, and he
gave up at this stage.

A SMILE WAS ON His FACE.

Ii waS through train.
And the weary night dragged itself
reluctantly along.
Little boY, SAID the gentle, soft voiced
young man, who had been trying for
hours in vain to sleep, as he leaned
across the aisle and spoke TO restless
wide awake youngster who was taking
his first ride on the cars and didn't
want to sleep anyhow. Do you see
that fat cid gentleman near the middle
of the car, with his head leaning back
On the seatP
That old man that's snorin' so loud 2
Yes.
Been snorin' ever so long, hain't ne !?
l think he has. In fact, l am quite
sure he has. You see him, do you3
Yep.
You'd like 10 earn dime, wouldn't
you, little boy!
Bet l would.
Well, I'm his physician. He's
travelling for his health. You see this
half of a lemon, do you7
Yep.
About this time every night l pre-
scribe lemon juice for him. What |
want you to do, little boy-here's your
dime-is to go quietly down tine aisle,
get in the seat behind him, and
squeeze the juice of this half lemon
right into his open mouth.
Mebby he won't like it.
Yes, he will. It's the way always
administer it. He'll swallow it, and
be a great deal better. Here's another
dime. Go and give him lemon juice,
and say nothiug about it.
When the tumult had subsidized. and
the suddenly awakened passengers had
become comparatively calm again, it
was noticed that mild looking young,
man who occupied seat across the
aisle from a restless, wide awake young
ster was fast asleep, with heavenly
smile on his youthful, innocent face.

FAVORITE DISHES OF FAMOUS
MEN.

Basing his remarks on the famous
and urtranslatable pun of the phllos-
opher. Feuberbach, Der Mensch ist was
er isst (Man is what he eats), Swiss
physician contributed recently an artl-
Gle to the Basler Nachrichten on the
favorlte dishes of famous men. In
certain sense, he says the words OF
Feuberbach are true. There Is no
doubt that the food eaten has great
influence on the temperament of man.
kind, and that, on the other hand, a
man shows certain characteristics in
choosing certain kinds OF food. When
John the Baptist nourished himself,
with locust and wild honey, it was just
as much in keeping with his character
as the preference of Zoroaster for bread,

by summer on a seaside pizza.
Two or three pillows were flung into

bed-was covered with dull green
chenille and piled with pillows in all
conceivable shades. A steamer

chair also, and a few floor cushions
lay piled against the wall for the
convenience of lowly minded per
sons who liked to sit on the floor.
But not straight backed chair nor
a nerve rasping rocker found a rest
ing place in the lounging room.
The curtains were sheer white
muslin, through which the city
roofs were seen dim and rather
attractive There was piano lamp
with stand OF wrought iron and
dull red shade, and table lamp of
dull red. A couple of antique
lanterns swung, one in front of the
window and one in the middle of
the room. There was an unpreten
tlous little teatable, SO that that the
lounger need not starve. And
burned with a pen on a dark piece
of wood were certain scraggy letters
which read: Loaf and invite your
soul. That hung or the wall oppo-
site the door, and was an injunction
religiously obeyed.

Philosopher, ate as a rule only honey
bread. vegetables and fruit. The
Carthaginlan General, Hannibal, was
often satisfied with olives, while the
Roman soldier, Sulla, was one of the
greatest gourmands of his day. His
favorite dishes were the flesh of the
wild ass, chickens drowned in certain
brand of wine, the brains OF ostriches
and cranes, and snaiIs. Mahomet pre-
tefred mutton and milk to all other
edibles and drink. Charles the Great
ate venison with especial pleasure, and
King Henry " of France ate melons
and oysters whenever possible. Charles
MI of Sweden was often satisfied with
simple bread and butter. Frederick
the Great preferred polenta, and En-
peror Joseph II. of Austria, omelettes
and hard bread.
Napoleon l. adds the article, was
passionately fond of coffee. He drank
daily from 20 to IS cups and never
felt any evil effects from 1t. Emperor
William I. liked to eat oysters and
Holsters.
Artists, poets and thinkers seem to
have liking for a greater variety of
dishes and drinks than kings and
princes. Goethe loved champagne
Schiller ham and klopstock patties,
salmon, smoked meats and peas. Les
sings fayorlte dish was lentlls. Kant
also manifested a preference for lentlls,
for Pomeranian pudding and baked
fruit. The philosopher Lelbpi,z was
fond of thick milk and apple cakes.
Lord Byron was anything but gour-
mand. He often ate one meal day,
consisting usually of old Cheshire
cheese, cucumbers and cabbage, wine
or liquor. He drank great quantities
of tea. Torquato Tasso was addicted
to eating sweet things, even putting
sugar on salad. Moses Mendelssohn
had the same taste. He once laugh
ingly remarked that sugar could not be
sweelened-with sugar.

SPRING SONG.

Sing me song OF the early spring,
Ofthe yellow light where the clear air cOols
OF the little willows bourgeOning
In the amber pools.
Sing me song OF the spangled dells,
Where hepaticas tremble In starry groups.
OF the violets swinging their golden bells.
As the light wind swoops.
Sing me song Of the shallow lakes
Ofthe hollow fall of the nmble rill.
Ofthe trolling rapture the robin wakes
On the windy hill.
Sing me a song of the cleaning swift,
OF the vivid Maryland yellow throat,
OF the vesper spairows silver DRIFT
From tho 1ise remote.
Sing me a song of the crystal cage
Where the tender plants in the frames are set,
Where kneels my love Armftage.
Planting the pleasant mignonette.
Sing me song Of the glow aiar,
OF the misty air and the crocus light,
Of the new moon following a silver star
Through the early night.

A LOUNGING PLACE.
An Attractive Part OF the Homo for Every
one in the Household.

1t bore the inviting title of the
loungine room, and was something
distinct "the den." In the den were

ment in the north side of the house
where the sun seldom shone, relates
the Chicago Tines
In the first place, she had it re-
papered, going without new party
dress to do it, tor the family coldly
refused to aid and abet her beyond
giving her the room. A dull green
cartridge paper OF most restful shade
was chosen, and a deep two foot
trieze of dull red poppies such as
never grew on land or sea, waved
drowsily on the same green back
ground. There were only a few
pictures hung-etched landscapes
and sea scenes framed simply in oak.
The designer of the room maintained
that many pictures would distract
the eye and fatigue the mind.
The floor was covered with matt
ing striped in lines OF dull green and
red, and a couple of long black fur
rugs were thrown on it where they
seemed most needed. The room
