VI In no other part of the world is kiss.
Ing SO much in vogue as in Russia.
From time immemorial 1t has been tbe
national salute. Indeed 1t is more Of a
greeting than caress.
In public affairs, as in private, the
kiss Ia an established custom. Fathers
and sons kiss, old generals with rusty
mustaohes kiss, whole regiments kiss.
The emperor kisses bis officers. On Q
reviewing day there are almost as many
kisses as shots exchanged. If a lillipu-
tian corps of cadets hive earned the i'm.
perial approval, the imperial salute is
bestowed upon the head boy, who passes
it on with hearty report to his neigh
Dor, be in his turn to the next, and so
on, through the whole juvenile body.
On a holiday or fete day the young
and delicate mistress Of a house will
not only kiss all her maidservants, but
all her menservants, too, and il the
gentleman does not venture above her
hand she will stoop and kiss his cheek.
To judge also from the number of
salutes the matrimonial bond In these
high circles must be one Of uninterrupt.
ed felicity. A gentleman scarcely enters
or leaves the room without kissing bis
wife either on her forehead, cheek or
hand,

JOHN HAYS BIG APRON.

One Of the Cases Where Dishwash-
Ing Produced u Poet.
Colonel Hay was when boy regu-
lar attendant Of the Presbyterian Sun
day school at Warsaw, Ills
The Sunday school lessons partly con-
sisted of committing to memory Bible
verses. and to attain supremacy in this
created quite rivalry among the schol-
ars John Hay was sure to come out
ahead from two to five answers, some
times more, causing those Of his COM
rades who were always behind him to
regard him with envy.
Consequently when some of those boys
heard that John had to wash dishes and
do the churning for his mother and,
more than all, that he wore an apron
while at these duties his jealous COM
rades fairly crowed.
One morning it was agreed by his
comrades to get him out of doors while
he had his apron on and humiliate him
by having two or three girls whom he
rather liked ask him questions in re-
gard to his homework
Young Hay came out to where tho
boys were and answered the questions
by saying that he washed dishes as his
mother taught him, and then, with
twinkling eyes, he gave the dishpan
which he had with him tremendous
fling, contents and all, drenching who
ever happened to be near enough, and,
laughing loudly, ran into the kitchen.
Hay and his big apron were never mo.

eyes set close together under low, re-

what little chin she possessed, gave her
a look most uncanny and repellent.
Altogether more like an animal than
human being, she seemed to me the

ever been my fate to look on. There are

Translated the Pet Kitten,

A well known East End doctor tells
story Of his experimenting days when
he was at collage. A girl whom he
knew and admitted had pet kitten
that in friskins around broke one of its
hind legs. Tho fair mistress was in de-
spair and in extremity asked her med

the pet He consented and took his
fathers messenger boy, who was used
to the surgery, 70 apply the an@sthetic.
The doctor made the amputation and
was sewing up tho flap beautifully,
when the boy gave yell and said the
cat was dead It had been chloroform-
ed to death.
The Doctor knew that the demise of
the pet would kill his hopes with the
mistress He had only one alternative,
artificial respiration, and seizing the
forepaws he set to work. In ten min

Heroes of the Pen.

The intensity Of application with
which the mind follows whatever il
lays hold Of in literary pursuits is ex-
emplifed in the case of Robert Aims
worth. celebrated writer and anti
quarian Of the seventeenth century. He
had been for years engaged in volumi-
nous Latin dictionary, and while fas-
cinated with this heroic work gave 80
little time and attention to his wife
that he incurred her bitterest jealousy,
and before the work was quite complete
she committed the whole to the flames.
Instead Of abandoning himself to de-
SPAR, Ainsworth set to work and re-
wrote it. accomplishing the entire work
In time. The same bitter disappoint-
ment was endured with similar heroism
by Carlyle when the manuscript of his
Frederick the Great" was destroyed

Why Fishes Are slippery.

Fish of almost every sort are when fresh
caught slippery and hard to hold. This
slipperiness Is due to sort Of mucus ex-
uding through the scales and Is Of the
greatest Importance to all finny creatures.
One Of the important functions of the
fish S Shiny coating Is to protect it from
the attacks of fungus, form Of plant life
found In all waters, salt and fresh, foul
and pure. II the fish Is 80 injured that
some spot becomes uncovered by the slime,
barely visible fungus will be likely to
lodge there, and when 1t is once lodged
the process of Its reproduction Is very rapid.
II soon extends over the gllls and kills the
fish,
The primary purpose of the slime Of tho
fish is to reduce Its friction when In mo-
ton through the water and increase Its
speed. 1t also serves as cushion to the
scales, which 1t thus protects from many
injuries. York World.

Thousands Of Cubic Feet Of Gas and

To build $50 pound man only IA els,

OF that inexplicable gas nitrogen there
is about half an ounce to each pound Of
