A peculiar speed -mea suring device for
automobiles has recently been patented.
The instrument is inclosed in a metal
case with glass front. the whole being
as nearly dust proof and air proof as pos

larger one receiving its impulse from the
vehicle tire and the smaller one detected
by the air currents set up by the larger
fan. The arbor on which the small fan
is mounted carries pointer and Is en-
circled by a hair-spring providing the
counter-force. When the speed OF the
vehicle is to be measured, the roller al the

poleon Of finance and a plain gambler?
A New York bootblack painfully real
izes that there is a difference, al
though perhaps he cannot explain it
in logical argument and elegant
phrase, says the Rochester Democrat

by few hundred dollars, he played
the races and won $4,000. This wear
he tried the same game and lost all
his winnings, as well as his original
capital. Being not altogether friend
less, he managed to borrow enough
money to buy new bootblaeking out
fit, and is now industriously shining
footwear and gathering in nickels
and dimes. If he keeps at it he will
soon be out of debt and again become
a modest depositor in some good saw

and il was rather harsh, but it NAV
do him good. Let him reuounce Ma
poleonic ambitions, stick to his busi-
ness and save his money. The races
are treacherous things for those who
play them, and the rocket-and-stick
performance is less productive of hap
piness than that steady thrift whicI
is sure, even II slow, as promoter of
prosperity and builder Of character.

HAND KISSING LEAGUE.
An Extraordinary Organization RE-
GENTLY Formed by Parisian
Exquisites.

Some Partisan exquisites of both
sexes have just formed the "hand-
kissing league" Men belonging to il
vow never to shake, or even squeeze,
a woman's hand. In lieu of that form
of salute they imprint light kiss on
her fingers or her wrist Women be
longing to the league bind themselves
to cut any man refusing TO discard
what our neighbors call "le shake
hand" in favor of the dainty and
daintily named "le baise-main."
The new association, reports Lon
don paper, is framing a code Of hand
kissing. This will define various
forms Of ''baise-main,' and will
specify under what particular circum-
stances each is to be employed. It is
already decided that the slight touch
ing of the tips of two fingers of a
feminine hand by mans lips is the
most frigid form of the greeting
while the kiss on the wrist is a privi-
lege of intimacy.
intermediate usages are the Oscula-
tory salute on the knuekIes, on the
back, and on the palm of the hand.
The last naned form, which is some.

quires the exercise of dexterity by
the lady if she does not want to look
awkward during the performance.
