In the Snuff Belt.
the Hickory Index-Renorter.

From the Hickory Index-Reporter.
a lot of cracked Drained editors and
other nasty tobacco chewing and beer
drinking things TT call themselves too
nice to endure snUT dipping are trying to
persuade the next legislature to prohibit
the sale of snuff in this state. Let the
men quit chewing and smoking and cuss-
ing before they prohibit the sale OF snuff
Some members of the legislature and
other men have such narrow minds that
they cannot grasp the problems that con-
front our future prosperity and happi-
ness. so they must pounce down on the
good old women who dip snuff. II the
state legislature should pass law pro-
hibitins women from dipping snuff and
still allowing men to chew and smoke. we
will stump the state in favor of woman
suffrage.

Experiments With Kissing Germs

From the North American Review.
We come to the danger of the mustache
as recently demonstrated by scientific ex-
periments of the highest order, followed
by conclusive results. OF these the most
important have been made by a noted
French professor, whose studies of all
questions relating to the now thoroughly
established germ theory" have won for
him great fame. He enlisted the services
of two men, one shaven, one bearded, and
walked with them through several streets
of Paris. the Louvre several large stores,
finally fetching them in a crowded tram
car to his laboratory. There, waiting with
subdued expectancy, was young woman,
who-probably the first experience of the
kind in the history of her seX--had been
hired to be kissed. When the professor
had made certain. by the use of antiseptic
preparations, that no germs fingered upon
the lips of the maiden. the shaver young
man applied his lips to hers in the Gus
tomary manner. The professor then
passed a sterilized brush over the young
lady,s lips, dipped it into test-tuba con-
tanning a sterile solution of agar-agar and
quickly sealed the top. The girls lips and
face even. having been thoroughly ster-
iiZed second time, the bearded man fol-
lowed the example of his shaver COM
panion and the sterilized brush and the
test tube were again called into play in
the same manner. During each of the
operations the young woman held her
breath in order that no accidental germ
might be drawn upon her lips from the at
mosphere.
After four days the tubes were opened.
The first, taken from the shaver man, was
speckled with dots each of which was a
colony of yeast germs, such as cause mold
but are practically harmless. The second
from the mustached man, literally swarm
ed with malignant microbes. The long

Senator Allison has been a

with President Mckinley and
president Roosevelt. He enjoys
the fullest confidence of bis

There has been but one member
of Congress whose tenure of Office

Senator Allison. This was Just;n
5. Morrill, of Vermont. who was
in the House IL years and then
followed it up with 30 yerars in
