LOVE MAKING.


Billing and cooing are - much .
part of summer time diversions as eat
ing ice cream or drinking soda water,
but billing and cooling ''in evidence
are confined to social strata in which
the fashionable maid and man have not
the slightest cencern, says the Phila-
delphia Inquire-.
In fact, ultra-smart romancers ro-
nance so elegantly that
ic DAVIS find little chance to peck at
their hearts.
Climb az high as you may the
heights of common sense and you will
fail to discover wandering in the dale
Of amatory foolishness single couple
belonging to really good soci.<y will
ing to afford the slightest chance to
the curious for funmaking.
Sentimentalists gaze in amazement
at the latest victims of loves dream.
There is bliEsful maid, an enamored
lover. The pair eschew shadowy cor
ners. They court electric lights. They
are the center of the gayest midsum-
mer groups.
Why? Because shying away from
friends,a and relatives, watching fever
ishly for q chance to look into each
others eyes, hold each Others hands
and whisper silly nothings into each
others ears has too much of 'Arriet
and AIRY mannerisms to suit these
modish young people.
This late century love-makingi is de-
lightful to those who must fill the un-
enviable position of onlookers. There
is no greater misery than being
obliged to put up with the selfishness
of spoony pair blind or Indifferent to
their duties to polite society.
The new order of affairs may well
cause interested people to rejoice. A
reserve SO excessive that a match may
be made and the wedding arrange
ments completed without anybody be-
ing the wiser brings distinct blessing
to all parties concerned.

SPANISH HATRED.
Te Ma1Afest 1t. Pigs Decorated WITH
American Flags and Tor
taFoA for sport.

Rev. Edward A. Steiner, pastor of
the First Congregational church Of
Springfield, O.. who is at present trav-
cling abroad, was in Spain the last
week Of June, and he sends the follow
ing account of his visit, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer:
Il had glimpse Of Spain last week
which was enough to give me the hor-
3rors. Hunger, dirt, pride and fleas in
equal proportions, grand empire on
the eve of great catastrophe. The
hatred of America is intense. The pigs
are decorated with American flags and
tortured as they pass through the
streets. One was nearly killed by my
side, and the brute who did it didn't
know that the genuine Yankee was so
near. The people are hopeless and
helpless, the most of them clamorin1
for peace. The high-sounding dis
patches from Madrid are deceivin9,
there is nothing here, absolutely moth
ing which looks like power; all is de-
epair.
"A Yankee warship at any Of the
harbors would frighten every Span.
lard to death. The rest of Europe, as
far as have seen it, is not much inter-
ested in the war. There is much severe
criticism of America, that such big
nation should go to war with such q
little one, and on the whole I found the
people totally ignorant as to the
causes and the progress of the war.
The newspapers bring few meager
dispatches. mostly from Madrid, but
even these are favorable to America,
and the end of the war and the col
lapse OF Spain do not seem to be far
away. 1t was my privilege to meet
some literary me1 in Spain, who, Of
course. were intensely patriotic, but
broadminded enough to see the mis-
takes of their own people,"

ATransvaaI doctor b credited with
the discovery of new curative treat
ment. He asserts that he can cure per-
sons OF smallpox, fevers. diphtheria
and many other maladies by simply
wrapping them in milk sheets. The
patient Is laid on mattress covered
with blankets. and is packed in sheet
just large enough to envelop the body.
The sheet has been satura ted in pint
and Z half Of warm milk, and is ap-
piled to the body without wringing.
After lying stiH for an hour thus
swashed, the patient IL sponged with
warm water, or put into a warm bath
for few moments to remove the milk.
The treatment il based on the germ
absorbing power of milk, and the idea
Of it is said to have been suggested by
the fact that milk absorbs poisonous
germs from = bucket in which it has
been standing.

BE DIDN'T LIKE THEIR ATTIRE
the Sincerity Of Two Chi.
oa4o Street ProaeAers.

Two itinerant preachers" in 4
wagon, elaborately attired and silk
hated and accompanied by dozen or
more women of assorted ages, caused
partial street blockade at the cor
ner of Madison and Dearborn streets
on recent evening. Attracted by
the singing and the powerful voice ex-
hortations OF the preachers, crowd
of boys of several hundred soon gath
cred about the vehicle, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
A prominent feature of the service
was collection taken up by half a
dozen of the youngest of the women as
soon as considerable number of peo-
pie had congregated.
Near the close of the meeting we'll
dressed and intelligent-looking young
man in the crowd created something
OF sensation by stepping to the front
and requesting permission to ask q
question. The preachers" seemed to
have q suspicion that his intentions
might not be honorable and sought to
ignore him, but he persisted, and,
pointing at the portly pair whom he
was addressing, inquired in q loud
voice
Say, do you fellows ever try to help
anybody except by preaching? Did
anybody ever hear of your feeding the
hungry or clothing the naked? If
caught either of you doing that once,
instead of singing hymns in white
vest. swallow-tailed coat, and plug hat,
for one would feel lot more like ac-
cepting your invitation to be Chris
tian."
Neither of the persons addressed at
tempted to make any reply to this
eccentric broadside, but took their
seats and the wagon quickly departed
in search Of pastures new.

cHIpMUNKs m A CEMETERY.


Greenwood cemetery IL suffering for
the second time in its history from .
too great increase in it's colony Of
chipmunks. Eighteen years ago they
became such q nuisance that . trapper
was employed, and e, 900 small, striped
pelts were the results of his first years
work, says the New York Sun.
This year it was noticed that an un-
usual number were about, even in the
early spring. when the chipmunks frst
appear after winters sleep. Now it
is estimated that there are at least
10000 chipmunks in the cemetery, and
. great deal of damage has been done.
Through their burrowing habits they
have undermined the gravestones, and
even in many cases caused graves to
sink in, when railwater has helped to
hollow out their burrows
The chief enemies of the chipmunks
are the florists, for the animals nip
growing plants at the roots to reach
the sap. One Brooklyn florist says that
since Decoration day he has had to put
in $50 new plants to keep up an original
plat of 150. Florists with contracts
to keep graves in condition have en-
tered strong protests, but outside
florists, who work by the piece, have
been making money.
The eight special policemen on the
grounds have been furnished with poi
soned nuts to scatter about. No di-
minution has yet appeared in the chip
munk army, as they reproduce three
or four times year and increase four
fold in season II not checked. But If
poison fails another trapper may be
called in.

SINGULAR FREAK OF NATURE
An AarQuake IN IN italian Tow1
Which Caused . Great Deal
Of Damage.

The earthquake that took place IL
the Umbrian town Of Rieti. on the
Velino, in Italy, the other day was &C
companied by phenomenon of which
the hrst meager account of the Shocl
gave no mention. According to cor
respondent of the Osservatorie Ro
mano 1t was not an earthquake, but
an "airquake." The air shook or vi
brated like violently agitated liquid:
great rents were made in tall building,
and towers, and walls were thrown te
the ground. The earth, however
seemed tc be undisturbed, and nc
shifting of the street pavement wa.
noticed. From the bishop down to the
beggar, all seemed frightened. It is
said that many felt the air vibrations
and were thrown to the ground, while
others were almost suffocated. 4
dense black cloud hung over the towr
while the phenomenon was passing
The church steeples, the savings bank
the theater, and no fewer than six pal.
aces were more or less wrecked, a.
well as eighty or hundred dwellings
Five hundred tents have been sent te
the place by the government. The peo.
pie, in the meantime, are living in has
tily-built huts and in the half-ruinet
post Office and the churches. Soldiers
have been sent from Rome to the scene
OF the disaster, and they, with the stu.
dents, are busy policing the ruins ane
trying to save some Of the household
goods. King Humbert has sent $4,000
francs from his private purse to re-
lieve the first necessities of the people

earthquake, like shudder, was felt in
Rome. Even there, too, people say
they noticed a peculiar convulsion OF
the air.
