IF YOU WANT A KISS.

There's jolly fresh proverb
That is pretty much like this:
That a man is half in Heaven
When he has woman'S kiss
But there's danger in del laying.
And the sweetness may forsake ii;
SO, tell you, bashful lover,
If YOU want kiss, why, take it.
Never let another fellow
Steal march on you i'll this
Never let laughing maiden
See you spelling for kiss
There's royal way to kissing,
And the jolly ones who make it
uave motto that is winning
Ifyou want kiss, why take If.
Any fol may face cannon,
ANYBODY wear a crown,
But a man must win woman
If he had her for his own.
Would you have the golden apple,
You must find the tree and shake it,
If the thing is worth the having.
And YOU want kiss, why, take it.
Who would burn upon desert,
With forest smiling by?
Who would give warm sunny weather
For a black and wint1y sky?
Oh, / tell YOU there is magic,
And you cannot, cinnot break 1t;
For the sweetest part of loving
Is to want kiss, and taxi it.

London Smoke.
London Paper.


A new and unexpected agency is having a
most beneficial effect in contributing to the
abatement of the smoke nuisance in London.
The relative clearness of the London atmo-
sphere within the last twelve months has
been plainly apparent, and the smoke cloud
which obscures the London atmosphere ap-
pears to be progressively tightening. Mr..
Ernest Hart, chairman of the smoke abate-
ment exhibition in London, frequently point
ed out that the greatest contributors to the
smoke cloud Of London were the small CRATES
of the enormous number OF houses of the
poor, and a great deal OF ingenuity has
been exhausted with relatively little success
in endeavoring to abate the nuisance.
The use of gas first was urgently recon-
mended but had hitherto been difficult, owing
to it's cost and the want of suitable appar-
atus. The rapid and very extensive growth
Of the use of gas for cooking as we'll as
lighting purposes, by the working classes,
due to the introduction of the penny in
the-slot system, is working a great revolu-
ton in the London atmosphere During the
last four years the Sourh London Gas COM
pany alone has fixed $4,000 slot meters and
nearly $4,000 small gas cook stoves in the
houses of the workingmen. This movement is
still making great progress, and we hope
means may be found to extend 1t to the
houses of the more comfortable classes. The
enormous Improvement in the London at
mosphere and the clearing away of the smoke
pail which hangs over London may then be
anticipated. Great progress has already been
made, and still may be hoped for, in the
clearing OF the London air.

Free Passage for stranded Miners.

Wellington Wash.) Enterprise
The Alaska Commercial company's steamer
Excelsior was in port for load Of coal this
week, and is now on her way to Alaska. On
her return voyage she will bring probably
the most unique cargo that ever passed down
the coast 1t will consist of as many Of the
stranded miners the vessel will carry. To
come we'll within the law, she has cargo of
eight enormous bales of life preservers
number of patent RATS, and two extra life
boats. She Is also well stocked with pro-
visions; In fact, enough to stand siege. A
frail board covering has been put over the
forward deck. Many people call her trip
mission of mercy, but it is in reality nothing
more or less than a mission Of protection to
the rich company to which the steamer be-
longs. This company induced those miners
and prospectors into the Alaskan country last
spring, and as upward of $500 of them are
