Two Water Tanks Burned.

= The Ohio Valley has had two of
her water tanks destroyed by fire in
the past:few days. On last Friday
night the tank at Cerulean Springs
was burned and Tuesday night the
one located at Livingston, about two
miles from Fredonia, was reduced to
ashes. 1t has been a custom to have
fire kept up under the tanks at
night during the extremely cold
weather, and in each of the above
cases the fire caught the timbers and
burned the property. The company's
loss is about $500. 1t is quite likely
that both tanks will be rebuilt at
once, as it would be very inconven-
lent to get along without them.

instructions. But III is unnecessary tor
me to recall to your attention the bene-
fits which spread ali over the civilized
world from the congress at Washing
ton, which gave America, Europe, Asia
and Africa their first true independence
and assured the tranquility of the
future. BY common international ac-
cord, you will remember. it was deter
mined to develop to the utmost all
methods of transit, all possibilities of
communication, to multiply railways,
electric ables and aerial motors,
and give free passage in these rolling
hotels to citizens of all countries on
the unanswerable plea that as all
roads were in common the means of
transport should, like the road belong
to the individual. An admirable svs-
tenn of internal taxes permitted the
realization of this program, and we
must admit that it is this system of
free locomotion which has made ma
les, miscalled patriotism, which ar
rayed one against the other, and the
resultant mental stagnation that
weakened and demoralized the world
until about 1916"
Fantastic as is the philosophers

possibility? The locomotion Of the

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 misspen them. A VIGOROUSLY
bad speller once related that he had
seen in a dream great black cat
with collar round his neck bear
ing the inscription, king Solomon's

friend, who was curious to see If by
any chance correct photography had
been revealed to the dreamer along

EXTINCTION OF THE KISS.
Sanitary Science Invading the Sacred
Realm of Romantic Sentiment.

Sanitary Science Invading the 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-
tious disease is propagated. It is de-
manding the abolition of the practice
as a remnant of barbarous 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 a seal
Of their betrothal, until they are able
to produce medical certificates that
they are free from the transmissible
germs of disease.
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 be
transmitted to the babies. It is .
reasonable precaution, for 1ndoubted-
~ 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 pout-
ing lips Of beauty may convey mate
rial poison along with the rapture OF
love they express so Economically.
The most ardent manifestation of
masculine devotion may bs 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 unscientifc 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.

Richard was regular gamin. His
keen sense of humor, his ready w.t.

shocking dense people and seeing
their funny faces and stolid belief,
and never cared about what harm it
would do him in a worldly sense. I
have frequently sat at dinner table
of such people praying him by signs
not to go on, but he was in vezt
ecstacy of glee. He said it was 80
funny always to be believed when
you were chatting, and SO curious
never to be believed when you were
telling the truth. He had sort Of
