NEWSPAPERS.

The amount Of money invest
ed in the large METROPOLITAN
newspapers. and the cost of
running same is far greater
than many people imagine.
The Globe. Democrat in it's Sun
day issue alone uses three car
loads, or 100, 900 pounds, of pa.
per. Unless the monthly re-
ceipts exceed 800. 900 no money
is being made. This indicat ties
the great expense necessary to
carry on such a plant. While
this is true of the Globe we
haze no doubt the expenditures
OF many others amount to the
same or more. As the above
figures exceed the estimate OF
the public for metropolitan pa
pc. s, so do the expenses and
cost OF equipment Of maller, or
country newspapers exceed the
popular estimate. We have no
doubt that these plants cost for
equipment and Running expen-
SEES ten times as much as is gen
orally supposed. The machin-
cry and other necessary appli.
anCes are all of the most ex.
pensive character on account OF
patents, and the strength and
nicely of their constructions. 1t

THE SCIENCE OF KISSING.

People will kiss. and yet not
one in a hundred knows how to
extract bliss from lovely lips
more than they know how to
make diamonds from charcoal;
and yet it is so easy.
First, know when to kiss.
Don't jump up like a trout for a
fly and kiss lady on the neck,
ear or corner of her forehead or
on the end of her nose.
Don't kiss everybody. Stand
up to it. Take the left hand of
the lady in your right; let your
hat go where it pleases. Throw
the left hand gently over the
shoulder of the lady and let it
fall down the right side toward
the waist. Don't be in a hurry.
Draw her gently, lovingly to
your heart. Her hand will fall
lightly on your shoulder, and a
very handsome shoulder strap
it makes.
Stand firm, be brave, but
don't be in a hurry. Her lips
are almost open; bend slightly
forward with your head. Take
good aim. The lips meet, the
eyes close, the heart opens. the
soul rides the storms of life
heaven opens before your eyes
the world shoots from unde
you as 4 meteor across the sky
the heart forgets its bitterness
and the art of kissing is learn
ed. From Woman's Life.
