Cross Purposes.

Marshall Wilder tells of an elderly
lady in Cohoes, who, besides her deaf
ness, experienced much trouble with
false teeth. Consequently she was
disposed to regard this world as a
vale of tears A neighbor, passing her
house one day, beheld the lady sitting
at the window, wearing an expression
Of more than usual gloom. Thinking to
cheer the unfortunate one, the good
hearted neighbor screamed at the top
Of her voice:

CHAPTER V.

The London season was over; all its
patrons had departed to the four points of
the compass and two days after the little
dinner at Richmond Stafford set out
upon a sketching tour. Simply provided
with as much clothing as light knapsack
would contain, besides his drawing mate
rals, he took a ticket ON a brilliant Au-
gust morning for Guildford, intending to
proceed thence to the extremity Of Corn
wall.
A celebrated landscape, about two miles
from Guildford, occupied him the whole
of the first day. He had taken up his
lodging for the night at village inn hard
by, and, returning thither towards even

induced him to turn aside from the road
lie had been pursuing. The path sudden
ly terminated in an abrupt slope, descend
ing into narrow gorge, at the bottom
Of which ran a shallow stream, half con
cealed by ferns and shadowed by over
hanging trees. A broad plank was thrown
across the chasm. Crossing the bridge
and seating himself upon the opposite ris
ing ground, Stafford brought forth his
pencils and water colors, and set himself
eagerly to work.
So absorbed did he become in his occu
patton that he was unconscious of tn,
approach of second person until, raising
his eyes in new direction, he perceived
a lady with a book in her hand, standing
upon the bridge, looking contemplated.
down the valley. The pencil droppet
from his hand, and he could not repres
a slight cry of surprise.
The lady was about twenty years o
age, and lightly dressed in white muslin
relieved by trimming of bright blue rib
bon. From beneath her Leghorn hat he
hair hung down in shower Of colder
ringlets her eyes were dark, her complex
ion pale, her features exquisitely regula
and refined.
Absorbed in the contemplation of thi
beautiful vision, the loveliness of the land
scape was wholly forgotten, and Stat
ford continued to gaze upon her with tn
most wondering interest. After few
moments she resumed the perusal Of tn

FOR PERFECTION IN KISSING
Magazine Writer Gives One Pointer
 Worth Remembering

Why osculation has received so lit tie attention from wise men we can not tell says the North American Re view It may be that thinking and kissing go not we'll together; if so. few of us would require long time to choose between them. Or possibly the subject has seemed to require too delicate handling: or 1t may have seemed trifing We neither know nor care. The most valuable practical lesson to be derived from experience and now set down Is that closing of the eyes is essential to perfection in kissing Aside from this hint to those of congenial spirit, we would merely direct the attention of those who may decry the importance of the topic to the influence of the charm in retain ing hold upon one worth keeping, and rendering less frequent and hazardous those absences which are only too likely to make the heart grow fonder of some one else.

Race Suicide, as Viewed hy\vOman.

Of late 1 have read various ar tlcles in regard to race sui eide. In these, woman is charg- ed with having lost the God -giv- en desire to become a wife and mother. Various reasons are as signed for this, but I have not seen what 1 believe to be the greatest cause of this loss. Is it not because our nation has re- fused to protect the home that the American woman refuses to become a wife and mother? She has wept, prayed and petitioned our state and national govern ments to throw around the homes of this country some protection from the greatest curse this world has ever known. But in- stead of granting her reques t this land of the free and the home of the brave" has gone in to partnership with the home destroyer so the only reply weep ing, petltioning womanhood re- ceives is: Go make homes, be pa tient, bear children, and each year we will only lay about 1OO,. 900 of them in drunkard's grave, and we cannot tell how many of them we will place in aims hous- es, county jails, penitentiaries, and insane asylums.

TRY AGAIN, YOUNG MAN.

Some OF the newspapers are recall
ing the example of General Washington
and the frequent reflections of his offers
of marriage by Virginia women as re-
minders to young men that they should
not be discouraged in seeking wives but
should continue to try and try again.
There is another side to the question. 1t
seems to us that the example of Miss
Fauntleroy, Miss Cary and the other
naughty beauties who declined to link
their tates with the long-legged Vir-
ginian contains something of a solemn
warning to women generally to be care
fui, very, very careful, as to their de-
cllnations. 1t is so easy to decline the
right man and accept the wrong one.
We have wondered frequently what the
feeling of these ladies who declined to
become Mrs. Washington must have
been when they saw him, first general of
all the continental forces, and then the
president with nation on its knees be-
fore him as he once was before them.
No matter how loyal woman NAV be
to the man she has married, there must
be some little qualm in the reflection
that whereas she is rather obscure, she
might have been one of the prominent
and most honored figures in the world.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.

Charlottesville recently went "dry, /"
Staunton is on the verge of it, and
Fredericksburg is preparing for local
option contest. These are said to be
among the wettest cities in Virginia.
Ten saloons closed their doors in St.
Genevieve, Mo-, and for the first time in
172 years the town was "dry." ST.
Genevieve was founded in 1875 and since
its founding drinking places have never
been closed.
No stronger evidence of increasing
public sentiment against liquor saloons
could be afforded than the victory by the
"drys" in Charlottesville. The measure
of the victor's success was only forty
majority, but anyone called upon five
years ago to name city in Virginia
where licensed saloons were safe from
interference of this kind would prob.
ably have given Charlottesville as the
answer. Undoubtedly the result
is chiefly due to the growing sentiment
against the use of liquor. Free Lance

SWANSON IS BUSIEST GOVERNOR.

The busiest Governor in the United
States these days is Claude A. Swan
son, the well-known Chief Executive of
Virginia. Governor Hughes, of New
York, with a recalcitrant Legislature
on his hands, and n persistent Presiden-
tial bee buzzing around in his vicinity,
is having an easy time compared to
Governor Swanson, on whose shoulders
rests considerable part of the respon-
sibility of making the jamestown Expo
sition n success.
OF course, the Governor has none of
the financial problems of the fair to
worry him, such matters being within
thf province of the Exposition officials.
His onerous duties consist in officiat-
ing at most of the ceremonies inciden-
tai to the fair, and in entertaining many
of the distinguished visitors who go to
Hampton Roads, either as spectators
merely, or to participate in some of the
special exercises.
Mrs. SwansC n, like her husband, is
being kept very busy, her duties as
hostess at the Governors mansion in
Richmond and the Virginia building at
the fair consuming practically the whole
of her time. Both the Governor and
his wife are well-known here, where
they lived for years while Mr.. Swanson
was member of Congress. Washing
