No Blanks In this Competition.

This is n competition of rather an unusual
nature 1t Is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or Architectural plan,
all the competitors rsklng the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only u
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose com
petitve plan for club house on a certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
something Of very little use to him. But the
person who patents a simple and useful de-
vice in the Press Claims Companp's Compe-
tlton, ne Il not worry if he fail to secure The
prize. He has substantial result to show
for his work one That VIII command lis val
ue in the market ut any time.
The plain man who uses any article IN his
daily work ought to know better how TO I'M
prove ii than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view Get rid Of the rid of the idea that an
improvement can be too simple to be worth
paenting. TIE simbler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Company's twenty five hundred dol
lars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred Of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.

Smelling In DreamA

That incorrect spelling may be said
to be inherent In the understanding
seems to be proved by the fact that
when bad spoilers see inscriptions or
written sentences In their dreams
the words are misspelled as they
would misspell them. A VIGOROUSLY
bad speller once related that he had
seen in dream a great black cat
with a collar round his neck bear
ing the inscription, king Solomon's
Cat"
THAT is very interesting" said a
friend, who was curious to see if by
any chance correct photography had
been revealed to the dreamer along
with his vision. won't you please
write that sentence down for me, just
as you saw 1t on the cats collar2'
The dreamer took a pencil and
wrote, king Solaman's Cate. ~

EXTINCTION OF THE KISS,

Sanitary Science Invading tho Sacred
Realm Of Romantic Sentiment.
The kiss of affection and romantic
love is celebrated In the song and
story of all ages. Sacred literature
justifes and honors the holy kiss Of
religious sympathy and fellowship.
The meeting Of the lips has always
been with our race the universal and
natural and spontaneous expression
of the most tender sentiment.
Now sanitary science pushes itself
forward to degrade the kiss to the
level of sewer gas and the many
agencies by which noxious and infec-
h6us disease is propagated. 1t is de-
manding the abolition of the practice
as a remnant of harbarous ignorance
Of the laws of health. Itwould subor-
dinate romantic sentiment to cautious
prudence and forbid the lover to en-
brace his sweetheart, even as seal
Of their hetrothal, until they are able
to produce medical certificates that
they are free from the transmissible
germs OF Q1SeaSe.
For several years past prudent par,
ents, under the instruction of their
physicians, have guarded their young
children jealousy against the indis-
criminate kissing which was once in
vogue, lest those poisonous germs b
transmitted to the babies 1t is
reasonable precaution, forundoubted-
ly the danger exists, and as the germ
theory of disease is more generally
accepted peril of such contact is ap
preciated the more intelligently.
If, then, there is serious risk for
children in careless kissing, say the
preachers Of sanitary science, it is a
risk which older people must avoid
also. Even the cherry red and poutr
ing lips of beauty may convey mate
rial poison along with the rapture Of
love they express so romAntically.
Tho most ardent manifestation Of
nasculi-e devotion may b the
means of planting the seeds Of dis
ease which will bring forth a fruit
full crop Of maladies sent down
through generations So says science
Accordingly the secretary Of the
Ohio board of health has been urging
the Pastors union of Sandusky to
use their influence to put a stop to
the practice Of unscientitic kissing or
kissing which Is not carefully re-
strained by sanitary laws. He also
warns them Of the danger Of using
the same wine cup in administering
the rite of the holy communion to
different persons. He would not let
women kiss each other after the pre-
vailing fashion, and of course he dis
countenances the kissing OF babies
by every chance conner, and he would
prevent kissing among the babies
themselves
Thus cold and prudential science is
invading the realm Of tender and 70
mantle, poetic and religious senti-
ment and destroying as pesthouse
the very temple in which the love Of
all ages has offered up its worship.
It is an appalling revolution. New

How Trees Restrict Winds.

| There are pines SO lofty that they
resemble cathedral towers, and roots
of pine tree are peculiar and resem-
!,.o the claws of birds. They cling
{ ne light, sandy soil of the south
with an animal-like grasp that defes
the widest winds to shake them from
their hold. The oak is always made
stronger by the wintry winds which
cause it's roots to strike still deeper
into the soil until the hold is so great
that nothing can uproot it or cause
1t to lose it's hold. Boston Transcript,
