PhiladeIphIa RECORD.

Philadelphia Record.
At a recent meeting Of the Missouri
Valley homeopathic association It was
resolved by a small majority. that all
kissing must cease, as the kiss is a
common means OF extending the ravages
Of disease germs. There is no known
warrant for any such afirmations. 1t Is
safe to say that not a single instance
10 known to any member Of the ascot
alton of the spread Of disease by means
OF the kiss. OF course, the good sense
Of mankind has debarred all kissing by
the victims Of smallpox, d%iphtheria and
like acute Infectious maladies, but there
is no evidence tina the kiss OF a person
who is not known to be afnicted with
a contagious disease has ever caused the
spread Of any ailment Even more posi-
tive have been the sanitarians who instl-
tuted a war against, sewer gas. They
have announced that sewer gas is every
where and always a poison and that II
Is capable Of producing typhoid fever OF
dIphtheria. Yet Prof. ssdgwick has re-
Gently charged that this conclusion was
accepted by sanitarians Without the least
evidence, and without Investigation. H
denies tina sewer gas can produce a specific
disease except when its germs are pres
ent in the gas.
The license OF animation Of sanitarian'
hnds a parallel in that OF the earltei
theologians. and It disproves the claims Of
sanitarians that they are men Of science
It is the distinguishing quality OF tbs
scientist that he takes nothing for granted
and believes nothing which Is not dem
onstrable. That ordinary kissing, amonl
persons not one Of whom shows evidence
Of being the Victim Of a contagious
malady. is at all dangerous has yet TO b.
proved. The vast majority OF mankind ha
enjoyed this method OF displaying affection
for centuries. yet except where smallpox
dIphtheria or some other acute Infection
disease has been visibly present. no con
tagion has ever been traced TO H.
Such reckless aihrmations, which hay
never been verified by a single expert
ment. but are based wholly on mere opin
ion. have robbed sanitation Of It's seientth

One result OF the famine in anthracite
coal will be a great increase in the amount
Of bituminous coal used next year, but 1t
does not follow that, the public will get the
benefit Of the difference in cost. From New
York comes the report that the dealers are
quietly arranging a fixed price for soft
coal for next year, which will be far in ad-
vance of the nominal figures. The people
are getting some useful elementary lessons
nowadays in principles Of political economy,
but it cannot be said that the instruction
comes particularly cheap.

While the official reports of many i'm
portant railroads show an increase dur
ing the last one or two fiscal years under
the head operating expenses, it is well
known that the fact Is the reverse Vast
sums expended on other accounts have
been arbitrarily charged to operating ex-
penses. There were reasons why those
who control some Of those properties
have sought to keep down the surplus
without distribution to stockholders and
the operating expense account has been
convenient for this. purpose.

A gentleman who represented a large
church organization called at the White
House a little time ago with a number Of
his associates for the purpose OF paying
their Official respects to the president Of
the United States. He described their re-
ception in these words:
I'VE we're ushered into the presidents
private room. Roosevelt was sitting at his
desk, talking earnestly with two men. We
could see those teeth glistening and his
eyes doing their share of talking, while oc-
casionally a fist would go into the palm OF
his other land with a smack.
after a time the two men went out,
not looking remarkably happy. Roosevelt
sprang up from his chair and rushed over
to us and grasped each Of us cordially by
the hand. L am glad to see you,' he said
in his heartiest tanner, really and truly
glad to see you. It's a welcome relief.
Those men are oficeseekers and couldn't
be made to see anything but themselves.
You gentlemen are at work for something
and somebody else; are doing a good work
Of which you are not the sole center.
Therefore / am indeed glad to see you And
he looked It, too"

A portrait of the late President Mckinley
and another OF President Roosevelt have
been discovered under peculiar circum-
stances in Statuary hall, the capitol. The
hall is undergoing repairs and somebody
discovered the other day that so-called
Concealed" pictures of the presidents had
been drawn in shadowy outline on the imi-
tation marble which forms the walls Of the
apartment. II has been learned that the
pictures we're drawn by Artist Allison, the
painter who some years ago performed curl
ous feats In concealed picture work while
engaged in painting the massive pillars OF
the pension ONCE in imitation OF italian
marble.
The portraits Just discovered in Statusry
hall are cIeverly concealed to the ordinary
observer by the delicate tracery on the sur
face OF the imitation marble, but when ex-
amined closely the pictures OF Mckinley
and Roosevelt stand out in startling dis
tinctness, and can be seen from the opposite
| sides OF the room. Tit portrait OF NC
Klnley is about eighteen inches In height
and is located above the marble statue OF
Roger williams. 1t is an excellent likeness
Of the late president. The Roosevelt picture
is on the south side Of the hall TO the
right Of the entrance to the house corri-
dor. II represents the president as wearing
the khaki uniform OF a cavalry officer II
is smaller than the portrait OF Mckinley
but the detail is elaborate. Each line II
both pictures serves the double purpose o
forming a part OF the portrait and OF thu
imitation marble surface OF the wall. Thes'
pictures will be pointed out to sightseers
II is expected that these curious por
traits will attract much attention from
visitors TO the capitol.

At irregular intervals along the corridors
Of the state, war and navy building are to
be seen neat door mats. They lie on the
marble floor in front of the chairs occupied
by messengers. There is a bit Of human
history connected with their use. Long ago
the messengers found that the constant
walking or standing on the unyielding stone
floors was extremely hard on the feet and
that 1t frequently induced rheumatism, so
they used strips of carpet on which to rest
their feet while seated. One day the super
intendent Of the building ordered that these
strips Of carpet be removed and they were
taken away, much to the disappointment OF
an old negro messenger in the State de-
partment, who declared that his chronic
rheumatic became worse than ever. A
newspaper correspondent heard Of the mat
ter and called 1t to the attention Of Secre-
tary Hay, who promptly directed that relief
be afforded. This resulted in the advent
of the door mat. now a permanent institu-
tion.

A large number OF claims for patents on
devices for registering ballots are being
received these days at the United States
Patent Office. In fact, a surprisingly large
number Of patents on devices for the auto
matte registering Of ballots have been is
sued, yet the field still seems to be an
open one. Rochester, N. Y, was the first
city to use election machines under the
New York state law permitting their em>
ployment. This was in 1896, when the city
authorities purchased a SUFFICIENT number
for all its precincts under a contract which
provided that they should not be paid for
until they were demonstrated to be sue
cessful. Owing to a large number OF mis-
haps the trial was unsatisfactory, and the
machines were returned to the manufac>
turers, who made an assignment and closed
out their business. The same year Worces-
ter, Mass, tried the experiment with an
other apparatus which was equally unsuc>
| cessful. A third invention was tried at
HornelIsvIlIe, NJ. Y, with better results,

graphed by the Associated Press seven min
utes and a half after the ballots were
closed. This machine has since been used
generally throughout New York state. and
has been adopted in outside cities and states
