NEVER LET A GIRL
BITE YOU.

We are never quite safe. Here
comes Prof w II. Miller. OF the
University of Berlin. with the assor-
tion. made in lecture at Middle
town, Connecticut. that the bite of
a pretty girl would often bring a
quicker and more horrible death than
the bite OF a serpent" He has made
"a special study of the bacteria of the
mouth, and told his Middleton au-
diencc, largely made mp of callow
college youth, that only short time
ago he had experimental ON beau
'iful girl I'm Germany aud found that
an arrow dipped In saliva from her
mouth would send itsvictim in death
Ihrocs more terrible than one dip
ped In the venom of the most deadly
snake"
The moral of this story is that Il
~ never ShIe 10 let pretty girl bite
you. and ordinary prudence would
seem to make attractive young men.
If. indeed, there be any such. boware
tho very foolish and haIf-bntbaric
custom Of kissing There rs danger
In the kiss OF q pretty girl as wcll
as In her bite, and the man who
risks either kiss or bite is tak-
ing his life in his hands. Nothing
Is said about the bite Of am ugly girl
and there viii bo come scientists
mean enough TO suggest that the
Berlin professor has received re-
tainer from the homely creatures
although We must confess that we
do not know any Of the fair sex who
could be so described and that The
German doctors theory has been i'm
vented for The sole purpose of crowd
ing the pretty girls out Of competition.
