What q Newsboy Thought.

Two dirty, ragged, wicked little
newsboys sat up in the gods gallery.
The play was Hamlet" The curtain
fell on the last act. Hamlet had killed
the false Claudius; the Queen is dy-
ing by poison; Laertes writhed at
the feet Of the princely Dane, him
self dying of secret hurts. Neither
boy had spoken nor moved from his
position, clutching the grimy railing
with grimier hands. The crowd about
them rose noisily. 1t was time to go.
Then the younger of the two spoke,
his eyes big with excitement;

bully extry to hollerl"-Kate Fields

Spelling In Dreams

That incorrect spelling may be said
to be inherent in the understanding
seems to he 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 a 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 it on the cats collar2"
The dreamer took a pencil and
wrote, king Solaman's Cate. "

Pixies on Patents.
How to get $500 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce people to
keep track of their bright ideas we offer a
| prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on
the first of every month to the person who
submits to us the most merltorious invention
during the preceding month. We will also
advertise the Invention free of charge in the
National Recorder, weekly newspaper, pub.
lished in Washington, D. c., which has an
extensive circulation throughout the United
States ana is devoted to the interests of in
ventors.
NOT so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
The idea Of being able to invent something
trkes most people as being very difficult
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount Of money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. AL
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. Unfor.
tunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like

and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
| to the author.
The prize we offer at the end ofeach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply for patent on
his invention through us, and whether he Sc
cures the prize or not, the inventor wi u hav

EXTINCTION OF THE KISS.

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
iustifies 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. 1t 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 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 undoubted-
ly the danger exists, and as the germ
theory of disease is moro generally
accepted peril of such contact is ap.
preciated tho more intelligently.
II, then, there is serious risk for
children in careless kissing, say the
preachers of sanitary science, it is q
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 80 Economically.
The most ardent manifestation of
masculine devotion may be 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 stop to
the practice of unscienti6c 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 a pesthouse
the very temple in which the love Of
all ages has offered up its worship.
1t 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-
bic the claws of birds. They cling
to the 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 its roots to strike still deeper
into the soil until the hold is so great
that nothing can uproot it or cause
1t to lose its hold. -Boston Transcript.

graded and smoothed that one horse
can draw mountinous van along their
surface, and maintained to the re.

LITERARY NOTES.

George w. Smalley, the famous
American editor. author, has been grant
ed two months holiday by his paper,
the London Times, and has gone abroad
ON special mission for The Ladies
Home Journal. He has engaged to
prepare short series of articles for
that magazine, and is gathering the
material for them in Europe. The
work will necesstate his spending part
of the summer in England, and the re-
mainder in Germany.
Ian Maclaren g new short story, the
last he will write until after his Ameri-
can visit, has been secured by The La
dies Home Journal, for publication in
the October and November issues. 1t
Is called "1he Minister Of st. Bede's ~
and is said to be in the brightest and
cleverest Maclarenesque vein. Besides
it's charm as delightful romance, the
story is said to be notable for the ad.
mirable character that the author has
created for the chief personage-th
minister of st. Bede's, as the loyal
lover of an humble Scotch lassie.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

An Important Factor in the Progress Of
Smaller Cities and Towns.
The importance of supporting the
local newspaper is not felt as keenly
as it should be by the dwellers in the
smaller cities and towns. The news.
paper is in reality as important fac
tor in local prosperity as the church.
Its influence is brought to bear for the
benefit of its locality in many wavs
that the church does not compass.
The intelligence and relative posi-.
tion of one town as compared with
Others is to be accurately gauged by
the quality of its newspapers and the
amount ofconfidence they inspire. The
newspapers of town usually present
good evidence of the moral standard
which governs it; for that newspaper
which gives its constituency what that
constituency demands is of the only
kind which has stability.
A town which can show well SUD.
ported newspaper, means town whose
inhabitants are quick witted people Of
keen, active interest in what concerns
them and their neighbors, while one in
which newspaper drags out wearily
generally argues itself the abode of
people with sluggish livers or torpid
temperanents, to whom the world pre-
sents little interest beyond the limited
range of experience Immediately
bounded by their own senses.
The excuse which is sometimes Of
fered that the local paper is not of
sufficient interest to warrant the ex.
penditure of the small price of its sub.
scription, should avail these short
sighted moles nothing. Such people
should be told to patronize the home
industry and foster its growth into
more pretentious affair by their en-
couragement. Newspaper men are not
slow to respond to encouragement; in
90 cases out of 100 their hearts are in
their work and they need but the sign
of disposition towards it to call forth
their best efforts.
The newspapers status in town is
an index to most of those qualities by
which one judges of its desirability as
a place of residence and its CONNER
cial prosperity.
1t is the positive duty of every man
to help make his town known, increase
It's prestige and add to it's reputation of
being live, wide awake place, by
subscribing to the local newspaper

GOOD ROAD HINTS.
Some Things That Are Essential to Permanent
Improvement

Some Things That Are Essential to Permanent
Improvement.
Until we have a radical change in
the system of highway laws and high
way management much improvement
would result in the condition of roads
if the commissioners and overseers
would see to it that the side ditch on
the upper side of the road is opened to
proper depth to carry ell the water in
the spring and sluices put across at
proper intervals to let the water away
from the road, and especially that the
roadbed be made higher than the ditch
and not 30 wide and fat as in many
cases they are. Many and many rod
of road is nothing but mudhole, and
all because of carelessness in not low.
ering the side ditch and raising the
roadbed. Again, many rods OF road
are sometimes made muddy by not
making water bars across the road to
turn the water off. and so 1t is allowed
to follow down the entire slope for
long distance, when bar Of suitable
height would prevent all and the pub
lie would be better accomodatel by a
few minutes work of the overseer.
But we shall never have good roads, in
the strict serse of the term, until the
rocks and stones which now lie dor
mant waiting the action OF some mas.
ter mind are broken into small frag-
ments, and each year the time now de
voted to working" is utilized in draw
ing a plentiful covering of crushed
stone. In other words, when our roads
are macadamized and the water turned
off and kept off, then, and not until
then, will our roads be permanently i'm
proved.-G. w. Guernsey, in Orange
Judd Farmer.
