HE "LuBnEpr H1s HONEY.

1t is not often that a fond younG
couple will repeatedly expose them
selves to the ridicule of hundreds OF
people for the pleasure of a kiss, but
such is the case with a young man
and a young woman who part a few
moments before o'clock each morn
ing at Randolph street and Columbia
avenue, says the Philadelphia Record.
The young man is tall handsome
fellow, who seems to think there is
NO prize in the world half so fine as
the little woman who clings affection
atety to his side.
They invariably stop at the corner
for few moments, chat before part
ing, and the sad look on both faces is
almost enough to break the ice mans
heart. When it is nearly time for the
whistle to blow the young man takes
his darling tenderly in his arms and
plants on her pretty lips a long, lin
gering kiss.
Numerous remarks, such as ooh,
baby" and Does you Tub your hon
ey?" are cast at the couple from the
mill windows, but do not seem to af-
feet the young mans nerve in the
least. The crowd which assemblies to
watch the occurrence grows larger each
day

Dog Swimming Race.

A dog swimming race was the feat
ure of days sport on the st. Charles
river, near Boston, a few days ago,
and, despite the fact that Tighe, a fe-
rocious bulldog was urged on to vic
tory by having a kitten-he was not
fond of cats-held in front of him
while he swan, Bruno, a smooth-coat-
ed collie, is still the champion swim
mer among the upper set of Boston ca
mines. The race was over a course of
300 yards for $50 a side, and Bruno
won by IL 3-5 seconds. Much inter
est was created by the novel contest,
and it was witnessed by hundreds of
persons from Farrell's bathhouse, near
West Boston bridge. Many bets were
made on the race, with the bulldog as
favorite. The dope" on the stronger
animal seemed bad, however, and his
followers lost heavily. Neither dog
seemed to be exhausted by the swim,
and there is now talk of another match
between the same dogs for a mile for
a big stake.

Joke on the Doctor.

An Irishman applied to we'll known
local surgeon the other day for ex.
animation and diagnosis of his case.
The doctor made a careful investiga-
ton, and arrived at the conclusion that
the man was suffering from a cancer
of the stomach and that it was not
capable Of operation. He was unde-
cided whether or not to tell him his
condition, when the Irishman asked.
DO you know the trouble dockter?"
Il do" the physician replied. 81 fear
you have cancer of the stomach" "Is
that so? And can We rache it?" "I'm
afraid not" Hal" the patient laughed,
picked up his hat and went away. He
thought he had good joke on the sur
geon.

QUEER NEW PLANTS
FROM CONGO.

New species of plants from the
Congo are rapidly becoming popular in
Europe. Among them not one is more
admired than the calamus, which is a
species of palm that grows in the
Ogoue region. 1t is notable for the
fact that in a wild state it remains a
low shrub for several years, then sud
denly develops and. attaching itself to
a tree near it, climbs quickly to its
summit. Its wood is in much demand
in the Congo, long straight canes,
which are used for various purposes,
being fashioned from it.
Another popular palm tree is the

ously Undermined.
Apropos of the recent Alpine disas-
ters in Switzerland, it is worth noting
that the mountain called the Rocher
de la Clusette is likely to topple over
into the busy valley of Travers at any
moment. The valley of Travers lies in
the Jura mountains, and through it
runs the Jura-Simplon railway. Down
its narrow gorge also rushes the River
lie Reuse, small stream in winter, but
a swollen torrent when the warm sum-
mer sunshine melts the mountain
SHOWS. The valley is just about wide
enough for the river and the railroad
in some places, and in others 1t opens
ont so that small cities lie in the en-
brace of the hills and struggle up their
sides. Here and there are hotels much
patronized by tourists, and many
schools for girls are scattered through
the valley. Into this valley may fall
at any time a great mass of the noun
tain. estimated to amount to 1880, 900
cubic feet of rock Close to the foot of
the mountain lie the quaint little cities
of Noirague, LIE Fucil Clusette and
Champ du Moulin, which will be buried
deep when the mountain falls, and it is
only a question of time for it to do So.
Experts who have examined the noun
tain declare that it cannot remain
much longer in the present Estate of
unstable equilibrium" Precisely when
the mountain will fall the scientists
are not able to say. Dry weather will
tend to retard the catastrophe; wet
weather will hasten it. When the land
slides does take place, not only will the
valley be filled with the debris and
much valuable property be destroyed
and probably lives lost-but the River

Two gentlemen had attended a tenn

by dark and narrow lane, had been
thrown out of their conveyance. The
incident was reported in the local pa
