Why starched Clothes Are Unhealthful.

Hygienists have been making
starched clothing the subject of their
Investigations and have established the
fact that starched garments act as a
barrier to the escape of heat from the
body. One, therefore, would suppose
that these starched garments, which,
as everybody knows. heat us so un-
comfortably in summer, would at least
have the advantage of keeping the
body warm in winter, on account of

the length OF time required for this rest
varies with different metals and the

His Denial Reception.

General Starr, gallant old soldier,
had an irrepressible dislike for young
lieutenants fresh from West Point. In
1874 General Starr was In command at
Fort Riley, and one day an orderly
came TO his quarters with the message
that Lieutenant Morrison, Just from
West Point, was at the post ready TO
pay his respects and report for duty.
In response to this message the old
general was starting for his Office,
when his wife, motherly old soul,
plucked him by the sleeve and said,
'Now, general, promise me that you
won't be rough with that young man."
"RoughF said the old man, smiling
amiably upon his matrimonial com
panion. "Why, I'll be peaches and
cream unless the young dog riles me-"
Reaching his Office, the general was
confronted with a dapper little fellow
as spick and span as though he had
Just come from the hands OF his barber
and tailor while he had the half super
cilious air that seems lnseparable from
the first stages OF military education.
Looking the young lieutenant over
for half a moment, the old general said
with great dignity: How do you do,
Mr.. Morrison. am pleased TO see
you" Then as a flush gradually mount

added: II am always glad to see you

when a Kiss Was Valuable

The practice of kissing the hands
was instituted by the early Roman rul-
ers as a mark of subjection as much as
one OF respect, and under the first Cae-
sars the custom was kept up, but only
for time. These WORTHLESS conceived
the idea that the proper homage due TO
their exalted station called for less ia
millar modes OF obeisance, so the prlvi-
lege OF kissing the emperor's hand was
reserved as a special mark OF conde-
Rcension or distinction for officers OF
high rank.
Roman fathers considered the prac-
tlce OF kissing OF SO delicate a nature
that they never kissed their wives In
the presence OF their daughters. Then,
too, only the nearest relatives We're al
lowed TO kiss their kindred OF the gen
tier sex on the mouth, for In those
days, as now, kissing was not mere
arbitrary sign, but It was the sponta-
neous language OF the affections. espe-
clally that OF love.
Under the Romans II lover kissed
his betrothed before marriage she In
heflted half OF his worldly goods in the
event OF his death before the marriage
ceremony, ana II she died her heritage

Negotiations on Between st. Louis

Strikers.
st. Louis, June 19.-Al negotiations
between the officials Of the st. Louis
Street Railway company and the strik-
ing employees are at an end, attempts
to settle the trouble at a conference
Saturday having failed. President
Mahon, Of the International Associa-
ton Of Amalgamated Street Railway
Employees, made this statement after a
conference:
"This is now a fight to the finish.
President Gompers told me yester-
day that he proposes to turn the en-
tire power of the American Federation
of Labor, with its membership Of
1000, OO0, against the Transit company
and fight the issue out, if it takes five
years to do 1t. The boycott to be de-
clared will apply not only to the Tran
sit company, but to every person, every
business man, every association, and,
In fact, any corporation or individual
favoring it in any way"
Dynamite was more freely used
yesterday than on any day since the
strike was inaugurated. In addition
to the wreck of a car on Page avenue,
four other cars were wrecked last
night liz various parts of the city, but
no one was seriously injured. A car
on the Southern division had its trucks
shattered and the roof torn off.
