Poison in Kissing.

Lives are daily sacrificed and dig
eases are daily communicated by thu
promiscuous habit of kissing. AS a
custom it should be abandoned among
women in their greetings.
In the sacred precincts of the fireside,
death has laid its relentless hands on
me Of its members, the common prac-
tice Of kissing is liable to induce septi-
camia, and thus other precious lives be
exposed to the venomous sting Of death.
As you car more easily see the action
of a drug when given in a large dose,
so you will see more pointedly the dan
ger arising from kissing by giving an
illustration of a malignant disease.
There Is 10 longer any doubt in re-
gard to the inocubility and in
fectiousness Of consumption. It is
not ali established fact that it is
not contagious. When you remember
that o die by its insidious hands
than from any other cause, but few fam
lilies or relatives of families can be ex-
empt from it. This being true, should
not persons visiting such unfortunate
individuals do away with the accus-
toned mode of greeting by kissing? A
disease which has resisted the treat
ment Of the most skilled up to the pres
ent day should be prevented if posi-
bic. Is human life to be sacrificed for
the sake of conforming to a custom !?
Change the custom; and other ways of
greeting will be equally popular and
much more sensible and safe.--Dr. O.

F0cuity.

about $50O,OOO.

Our architects are we'll aware that

Mr.. Archibald Dunn. president of the
Northern Architectural Association of
Great Britain, in an address reprinted
in a recent issue of "Architecture and
Building" speaks in this sense of the
stupendous works of the Egyptian
builders of the Nile temples. He says
that it almost passes belief that the
blocks of granite used in building
those wonderful structures could have
been handled at all and lifted into
their places For example, many of
the stone slabs forming the roof of the
great temple of Karnak weigh upward
of so tons, and some of them are be-
lieved to weigh from 100 to 800 tons
each. Yet all these huge stones are
set without mortar, and today, after
all the centuries that have passed since
they were placed, they are found to be

which is cut out of a single block of
syenite, calculated to have weighed
1900 tons before the artist commenced
upon it. He observes that to bring
such block of stone from distance
OF l35 miles ''was feat which would
daunt the courage of modern engi
neer, although aided by powers and
appliances unknown to the ancient
Egyptians" These huge blocks of
stone were quarried by means of wood
en- wedges, which were inserted and
afterward swelled by water, and Lord
Armstrong was Of opinion that no en-
gineer of the present day could detach
them from the quarry by that ancient
process Sun.

Lake Does Not Freeze.

There are other wonderful things In
Canada's Yukon country besides gold
nuggets. One Of the most curious and
at the same time most valuable is Lake
Selawik, which, according to the Cath
Ollie Sentinel of Portland, owes its dis
covery to Father Tosi, a Jesuit mission
airy. This lake is described as not far
from Dawson City, and it never freezes
over even in the coolest winter. This
body Of water is sixty miles long by hf-
teen in width, and while at a great dis
lance from the sea its waters ebb and
flow regularly. Lake Selawik is fresh
at all times, and owing to the warmth
of the water it becomes in winter a
kind of Mecca for all kinds of fish from
the various streams connecting with the
lake. The abundance of salmon and
other fish should prove a boon to the
miners and give a supply of food which
must be very welcome in winter.-Fic-
