THE TERRoRS OF KISSING.

Medical Record.
In a kissing contest for G5 a side, which
has lust been declared off in a small town
in Lancashire, the challenger sunk ex-
hausted at the seven hundredth smack,
his opponent having scored eighteen hun
dred in the hour.
over in Germany at about the same time
a Young lover wrote to his sweetheart
that he sent her ten thousand kisses. She
sent pack word that that was all well
enough on paper, but that he had not
the nerve to perform the feat in a truly
manly way. This challenge was likewise
accepted. and ten hours time was al
lowed. with brief intervals for malt re-
freshments.
At the end of the first hour the score
was two thousand and the condition of
both active and passive participant good.
One thousand more were added in the
second hour, but at the seven hundred and
fftieth kiss on the third round the young
mans lips became paralyzed and he lost
consciousness. This fate, which some
might consider merited, should prove a
warning to promiscuous kissers as well
as those who concentrate with persist
ence. 1t is not paralysis alone, but in
sanity, which may follow such efforts.

EDIsON,S FIRST CHEW OF TOBACCO.

I well remember the first chew OF
tobacco I ever took, said Mr.. Edison.
was about ten years old, and with
two other little fellows saved up a lot
of scran iron and tin and zinc which
we meant to sell when the holidays
came around.
There was a large boy in the neigh
borhood Il think he must have become
a bunco steerer a%fterward) who knew
of orr hoard. One day when We had
been in swimming he came to us and
said:
" Say, you fellows, il you will give
me that tin and iron and stuff you
have I'll teach you how to chew
"The proposition struck us as being
very fair, particularly as he agreed to
furnish the tobacco. Well, we were
quite willing, so he brought some old
Canadian cut down to a sand bank by
the river. He divided the stuff into
three parts and gave us each one.
Then he said:
CHOW, you must do exactly as L
say, and you must do it right or you'll
never learn to chew
Now then,' he shouted, hold it
up"
eve held it up"
Put it in your mouth he yelled"
I'VE put it in"
'Chew!' he Kissed dramatically"
"We worked away at a great rate
Swallow it, he screeched."
1--WE gulped it down, and then that
young rascal fairly rolled down the
bank with laughter, while we soon
rolled down the other side sicker, L
uppose than any of us had been in
our lives before or since. One of the
boys nearly died, and they had a very
serious time with him. That was my
first experience with tobacco"
