FHrtIna Frowned On.

Cassell's Magazine: The saying that
all the world loves a lover" is a rule
with some important exceptions.
In some parts of Russia, for instance,
it is n crime for lovers to kiss in public.
Two amorous couples were arrested in
Odessa not long ago for this Ubiquitous
conduct. The crime was committed in
a restaurant where the young people had
been dining, and the punishment was a
short term of imprisonment.
1t seems strange to have to link with
Russia in this respect the free country
under the stars and stripes. But it is a
mournful fact that in some parts of the
great republic lovers are frowned upon.
Several towns there have enactments
against counting in public, and many an

before the court n fined for billing
and cooing." In one case sever young
men were prosecuted for flirting with the
lady students at a local college. These
desperate criminals, however, were let off
on payment of costs and an apology.
What curmudgeons some of the au-
thorities are may be judged by the fact
that at one popular resort is a notice

tinguish from the genuine, and many
are exact replicas Of the choicest gems
In the museums. Ancient arms and ar

things are perfectly reproduced. The
bronze lamps such as were used by the
Pompeiians are very pretty, whether
they are new or old, and the modern
ones have an advantage in that they
can be used. Genuine ones are very
scarce.
