NEWEST THING IN KISSES.

r air women NOW Press Each Otner'S
Cheeks in Salute.
The new scientific kiss is not kiss
at all, says the Deroit News-Tribune.
Those great men who study the dark
ways Of the willy germ and the ubiquit-
our gacillus frown upon lipkssing as
an indulgence leading to disease. Con-
sequently, when two fair women meet,
they formally lift their wells and the
velvety right cheek of one is pressed
for an instant against the satiny left
cheek of the other. This is as nice a
substitute for the old and dangerous
method OF greeting as the most demon
stratingly affectionate individuals
could desire.

clare that it is mot half-bad," though

It is considered as rude to offer to
press the cheek of your friend without
lifting your veil as it is to kiss lip
fashion through the dotted mask, or to
offer your left hand for shaking.

Chance for IN Entsrprlslne Man.
Charles Rothschild has offered q
reward OF $1,000 for a specimen Of the
arctic fox flea to add to the collection
Of insects in the geological museum at
Tring Park. It IL said that only two
perfect specimens Of arctic fox zdea
exist in collections. Here would seem
to be an excellent opportunity for an
enterprising American to start flea

STATE LOST MONEY.
characterization of Lease Law Cost
Washington Several Thousand
Dollars.

Olympia.-The State Land Com
missioners office here has discovered
errors by a prior administration III
the work of computing rentals on
about 100 harbOr areas leased prior
to 1901, by which the state has lost
several thousand dollars. COrrec
tions will be made in the leases at
once and holders notified.
Computations have not been MADE
Of all leases affected, but on the har
Dor area in front of Seattle alone the
state loses over $1,000. The correct
rental for these areas should have
been about $4,000, when it was figured
at but 1892. One lease in Whatcom
that has been paying the state Sloe
should pay 1914. One in Anacortes
that should pay $3.50 has been paying
| s1O9. No computations have been
made on Tacoma leases as yet
The errors seem to have been
made from a neutrality-suspicious. OF the
law and the method by which it rpe
scribes the computation. The law re
uuires that the rental shall equal one
per cent OF the assessed valuation Of
| the abutting tide lands, and where
the tide lands are OF less width thar

no attempt will be made to make rh4
