Should Kisses Be Sold?

Post Dispatch.
At recent matinee performance IN
London, Mrs. Brown-Potter sold a
kiss for 500. She delivered the kiss.
and the kissee was n darksklnned
gentleman from India. His name il
Dhunjibboy BonaniU The 500 re-
ceived for the kiss is to swell the fund
for the wives and children OF South
African war heroes.
" as it right OF Mrs Potter to sell
a kiss, even fora charity? Is il right
for any woman to sell kisses?
In considering these questions, it Is
well to note that men never sell kisses.
Is this fact owing TO the other fact
that the men usually control the
finances? Or is it because no man
has ever happened II think Of offer
ing kiss 10 the highest woman bic
der, for a charity or ANYTHING else ?
Would such an offer have any takers
among the female part OF an audi
ence'
A conventional. kiss, such as Mrs.
Potter would give on a public occa-
sion, is nothing but a pursuing up OF
the lips followed by temporary con-
tact, 1t appears that this is worth
500 when performed by woman.
What would be the value OF Il man :
kiss of this kind, ..at iauction. Gould
it be sold at any price and for any
| object?

ArmIess Artist Dead.

Brussels. Feb. 7.-Charles Francois
Felu. an armless artist, died Monday
in his 10th year. He painted with
his feet, and copied hundreds OF the
bestsmasterpieces. Many specimens
of his work are now in America.
While working he held his palette
with his great left toe and manipu-
lated his brush with his right foot,
and with great skill. He always
shaved himself. He had written a
successful tragedy.

Germany Not Il Party.

Berlin, Feb. 7.-Germany will not
join with France in her attempt to
wrest Egypt from England by diplo-
macy or otherwise unless some unfor-
seen occurrences arise. A high per
sonage at the foreign office said:
Germany will not join a move
ment to reopen the Egyptian ques-
ton. Aside from the question wheth-
er France and Russia mean honestly
Germany is of the opinion that II
would be unfair to seize a moment
when England is deeply engaged else
where for such steps.
Dr. Leyds spent the day at Weimer
where he rendered his congratulations
to the Grand Duke upon the sixtiett
anniversary of his Joining the Prus
sian army.
