also the German one, IF you kiss him
you'll get some sauce along with H."
That any harm is done by kissing the
author does not believe, and he brings
! forward much testimony as a proof thar
he is right. Thus the Italians say. "a
mouth is not the worse for being kissed. 80
and French poet asks: Bah! What are
two kisses? Only two bullets that have
missed the mark" A Norwegian song
says: "Johannesen kissed the girl once.
I twice on the mouth and each time eh.s
was glad of it," According to a German
proverb, The place where one has been
kissed may be wiped, bat the fire i'm the
heart cannot be quenched'
Prof. Nyrop lays stress on the fact that
stolen kisses are the sweetest The
Spaniards say on this point: "If YOUR
mother scolds you. dear girl, because YOU
have let man kiss you give him !is kiss
back, e7d then she will have TO close her
mouth"
Attention is also directed to the young
student who said to a girl: so you are
angry because l kissed you? Wen N YOU
don't like my Kiss give 1t back to me"
The story is also told Of a Danish couple
who were engaged but decided to separate.

peril the professor maintains and as PROOF
he tells the following story: "Iu 1887 Thos
Saverland. of London complained that
Miss Caroline Newton had bitten a piece
out OF his nose while he was trying to
kiss her. Miss Newton admitted that she
had dohe So but claimed that she did not
want to be kissed, whereupon the Judge
dismissed the case, saying: when a man

to restrain her indignant answer-'the
old man of Geneva, the only man who
ever dared to insult me. At last / see
him again. Miserable one, l will kill
him, as 1 have sworn to do.'
She Obtained a Revolver.
Vainly Alexandra tried to soothe the
girl, assuring her that she must be mis-
taken, that an accidental resemblance of
two men was deceiving her; that it was
impossible that man of NJ. Deschanel's
character could have been guilty of the
conduct she accused him of.
Vera abruptly left the lecture room.
Unknown to Alexandra she obtained a
revolver. On Jan. - the learned Des-
chanel lectured again. Vera and AleXan-
dra listened to him. Outwardly calm
Vera had made her friend believe she
had convinced herself that she was mis-
taken; that NJ. Deschanel was not the old
man OF Geneva.
He finished his discourse, the students
trooped from the lecture room. M Des-
chanel halted in the corridor leading to
his private study and was surrounded by
a group of admirers. Vera and AleXan-
| dra were almost the last of the students
| to depart from the lecture room.
Vera did not recognize M. Deschanel,
who stood with his back toward her. I'M
til she was very near him in the corridor
instantly whipped the revolver from her
pocket.
"Vera!" shrieked Alexandra, and tried
| to seize the weapon.
| Too late! The Infatuated Vera touched
the trigger, the pistol was discharged.
| But in that fraction Of a second the he
role Alexandra, with a motion quick as
| lightning, had thrown herself between the
revolvers muzzle and NJ. Deschanel, who
was all unconscious that he had been
marked as a victim.
Alexandra received the bullet in her
breast and sank TO the floor unconscious.
Vera glanced at her, shrieked and fell
fainting.
The scene immensely astonished M.
Deschanel, who did not know that an at
| tempt had been made on his life until he
was so Informed by NJ. Parisse manager
of the college. The professor did not then
| lose his composure. He left the college
as usual arm in arm with his wife, who
| had called for him, and was driven
| straight to his sons official residence. 1t
was only after reaching his own apart
| ment in the Avenue Marceau that the
! shock unnerved Prof. Deschanel and he
| was forced to retire to bed.

hands, seemingly obliyious to what was
passing around her
The jurors. weighing her state of mind,
decided with Alexandra that the unhappy
Vera was momentarily mad when she lir-
ed the fatal shot. When the jurors re-
turned to court everyone could see in their
faces what the verdict would be. In antic-
ipation OF it and led by Prof Deschanel,
the people IN the court room burst into
applause which could not be quickly sup
pressed.
When the verdict of acquittaI was an
nounced Vera smiled feebly and swooned
Michael Zelanine was the first at her side,
and raising her in his arms whispered
the fondest congratulations If the presi-
dent Of the court felt sympathy he did
not betray it. Sternly he ordered Vera
to leave France and never to return.
In few days the newspapers announe-
ed that she and Michael Zelanine had
gone to Russia and that they would he
married.
Leaped From EiffeI Tower.
On March IA last a well-dressed young
man jumped from the top of the Eiffel
tower Turning, twisting in the long, the
frightful descent, he struck the ground
head first Necessarily his features his
form were entirely unrecognizable- Nor
had ne SCRAP of paper, a mark by which
he might have ben Identified
A few hours after this determined, spec
tacular suicide a girl threw herself into
the Seine from the Pont de Grenelle. One
Villeneuve, a carpenter employed at the
Port Royal floating baths, now moored
near the lie des Cygnes, saw the girl as
with a desperate gesture of farewell she
sprang from the bridge Yilleneuve and
another man jumped ina boat and quick
ly rowed to the drowning woman
So vigorous were their. strokes that
their boat reached her as she arose from
her first plunge.
Leaning far out of the boat they seized
her. But she beat at them with her
hands, and repeatedly begged them to let
her die. 1t was not until She had ex-
hausted herself by her struggles that
Villeneuve and his companion could lift
her into the boat.
Silent, almost sullen. like one who has
suffered grievous disappointment, she
was taken to the emergency station near
the bridge, where she would say only
that her name was Muller and that she
was stopping at hotel in the Rue de
PaSsy.
Her attempt at suicide was instantly
reported by the police and the commits
sary sent orders that she must be de-

in her spine and that her survival was
impossible.
She was removed to the Hotel Dieu,
and in that hospital received the most
devoted attention from the Deschanels,
father and son, and their wives. The
newspapers rang with praises of Alexan-
dra's bravery; the government gave the
dying girl d life-saving medal of the first
class.
Michael ZeIanine, who had followed
Vera and his sister to Paris, passed every
moment that the hospital authorities
would permit by Alexandra's bedside. Al
ready deeply in love with Vera, the
weight of his double grief overwhelmed
the handsome young Russian.
At Alexandra's prayer the police allow
ed Vera to visit her dying friend. They
mingled their tears. But no reproach teu
from Alexandra's lips. Instead she sought
to explain and excuse Vera's deed.
Dearest, it was but the result Of a
horrible confusion of Identities, the
heroic girl said after l leave you l
implore you to give up your studies. YoU,
with your wealth of emotion, are untitled
for the rigors and repressions of student
life"
Alexandra frequently interceded with
the authorities for Vera, and prepared a
feet at Vera's trial. After several weeks
welcome death came to Alexandra.
Paris flocked to Vera Gelo's trial in the
court of Assizes last summer. The girls
sufferings had rendered her mi-hysteri-
cal, and alienists were not wanting who
declared she was the victim of hallucfna-
tons.
When the judge first mentioned the
name of Alexandra Zelanine, Vera burst
into a paroxysm of tears. The nervous
twitchings of her face as she sat in the
dock revealed her mental anguish.
So tense was her nervous strain during
the trial that a physician twice admin
istered ether to her to relax it.
But the most dramatic moment of ire
trial was that when Vera was for the
first time convinced of her mistake .:
confounding the estimable M. Deschane
with the unknown old man who insulted
her. M. Deschanel was giving his test
mCny when the girl, who had been staring
at. him as If she hoped to usually peHe-
trate his brain, suddenly shrieked:
Forgive me, I pray you, sir, forgive
me. l acknowledge my fearful mistake
The jurors were entirely sympathetic

verdict Vera sat, her face buried in hel

might find leisure to interrogate her.
The woman shivered and shrank away
when the police We're about to take her
to Jail Finally she said hesitatingly:

life. He will remember me, the unfortu-
nate one in the affaire Deschanel.
"Implore him, if he wishes to interro-

Poetry and Prose of Kissing

DR.. Christopher Nyrop, professor of
philology at the University Of Copenha-
gen, has just written a curious book
which is causing a good deal of talk in
Europe. 1t is entitled History Of Kiss
ing" and is the fruit of long study on
this interesting subject, the author hay
ing searched in all possible quarters for
the necessary material
In defining a kiss he quotes VerIaine,
who says: "A kiss is the accompani-
ment which is played on the keyboard
of the teeth when love sings to an am
orous heart" He also quotes a Latin
epigram, which says: What IS sweeter
than wine? The dew of heaven. And
what is sweeter than dew? Honey. And
what is sweeter than honey? Nectar.
And than nectar? A kiss"
About the sound made by a kiss he has
unearthed many curious sayings. JoEan-
mes Jorgensen says: "The beating Of the
waves against the shore is like the sound
of long kisses" <ierkegaard in a story
remarks: I'VE heard all the evening a
sound as though some one was striking
at flies, yet it was only the kisses of the
loving couple" Still more unfeeling is
the German expression: The kiss sounu-
ed as though COW was drawing her hind
leg out Of bog, and almost as heartless
as this is the Danish phrase: 'He made
more noise when he kissed her than is
made when cows horns are struck off Y
Prof Nyrop spent much time trying to
find out how women regarded kissing,
and became convinced that on one point,
at least, they all agree-namely that men
with boards are far preferable to all
others. In an old Roumanian ballad q
hero says: II am too young to marry,
for my beard has not yet sprouted. What
married woman would kiss me?''
According TO a German proverb "A
kiss without beard is an egg without
salt" In Holland and Jutland young
women are of the same opinion, for they
claim that Kisses are no good unless
they taste well and are sweet" They
also say that kissing a man who has no
beard is like kissing a mud wall"
On the other hand, Prof. NyrOp says
, that women as a rule dislike TO kiss men
whose mouths are moist, and he quotes
the Danish expression, ''IIe is good to
kiss. but only when one is thirsty" and

to one of the lecture halls, where sur
geon, after brief examination, reported
her wound severe. but not necessarily
fatal. When she regained consciousness,
although she was suffering grievously,
Alexandra proved her affection for the
misguided Vera.
81 Am the One to Blame"
Vera was mad for the moment Alex
andra insisted. ''She was not re
sponsible. Harm me? She would lay
down her life for me. Indeed it is I who
am to blame. For as soon as 1 saw what
the mad girl intended to do jumped be-
fore her pistol"
Vera, recovering from her faint, was
overcome by grief at the result of her
crime to which she had been driven by
the resistless energy of her self-respect.
The police hurried Vera away. Alexandra
was taken in an ambulance to the Hos
pital de la Pitie. where the surgeons
found that the bullet had imbedded itself

ture at the College of France. There
Prof. Emile Deschanel is one of the
lecturers, man of the highest character,
universally respected and absolutely free
from the remotest suspicion.
Moreover, he is in no wise associated
with political life except through his
distinguished son, Paul Deschanel, pres
ident of the chamber of deputies, whom
many regard as the~next president of the
republic.
A few weeks passed. Miles. Vera and
Alexandra assidiously attended the lee
lures at the college About Jan Is. of
last year they went to their first lecture
by NJ. Deschanel.
The instant he entered the lecture
room Vera became violently agitated.
Seated next to her, Alexandra was
alarmed by her staring eyes, her clinched
hands. her trembling limbs.
My dear Vera, what ais you? Are
you suddenly i'll. dearest?'
There he is" whispered Vera, trying
