The Habit of Kissing.

In some sections of the planet, travel
ers tell us. the kissing habit is un
known. 1t is difficult for the average
American to credit such statement.
The mother who fondles her babe, the
extremely young person who is deeply
in love with the matchless lady, the
married couple who have not ceased
to be lovers, all these and divers 9TH
ers think it an amazing thing that
there are babies and more or less
charming girls and good wives in the
world who have never experienced the
peculiar sensation accompanying
kiss. Here the kissing habit is wide
spread and there is little reason to
suppose that it is in danger of going
out of fashion.
1t is true that stern-faced scientists
have been telling us for manv years
that infection turks in the kiss. They
eXhort mothers and lovers and Others
to resort to some less dangerous method
of manifesting their affection They
are becoming increasingly urgent with
the flight of the years and with the
discovery of new forms of bacilli that
delight to lay in wait for the human
race. They tell us that tuberculosis
and various other deadly diseases are
communicated by the kiss and they
are at the present moment earnestly
engaged in the effort to organize Anti
Kissing leagues in all sections of the
world. They are in deadly earnest.
The Morning News admits that there
is large measure of truth in the de-
clarations of the scientists. 1t holds
with them that danger turks in the
kiss. 1t has observed the reluctance
with which children submit to the
salutes of some grown-up persons and
| it supects that relcutance is the re-
| suit of nature 5 warming signal to the
young whom it seeks to protect and
preserve 1t holds that those who are
troubled by dangerous or infectious
diseases should be compelled to forego
the ocsulatory salute. That much it
will concede.
But the News is not yet willing to
join the league that would ostracise
the salute so dear to millions of the
human race. 1t is not prepare to ex-
hort the mother to refrain from kiss
ing the child of her love- 1t would be
far from exhorting the wife or the
husband to give over this charming
evidence of continued affection for
each other as they advance in years
and approach the goal of human life
And it is sure the young persons who
are mutually attracted toward each
other and with whose hearts the god
of love plays such tender pranks, would
scoff at such cold blooded advice.
The scientists are right There is
danger in the average kiss. But it is
likely that human nature is going to
be too strong for the scientists and
that a fashion which probably came
into the world when Adam looked up
on the first woman and pronounced
her good to look upon will not vanish.

Rats Are an Expensive Pest.

by the Biologica Survey of the De.

The Truth About STARVING.

Novelists write a lot of nonsense
about the extreme suffering that ac-
companies starvation. 1t is all poppy
cock, says Dillon Wallace In the Out
Ing Magazine. Any healthy person,
with a normal appetite. efter missing
two or three meals is as hungry as he
ever gets. After awhile there is
sense of weakness that grows on one,
and this increases with the days. Then
there comes desire for a great deal
Of sleep, a sort of assitude that is not
unpleasant, and this desire becomes
more pronounced as the weakness
grows. The end is always in sleep.
MISS, Mrs. and Mistress.
Miss is an abbreviation of "mis-

the term Of honor to young girl"

century, however, it was used respect

CHILD SUICIDE GREAT
 PROBLEM IN GERMANY
BY LADY HENRY SOMERSET.

in Germany is reaching us, too, and we shall as a nation do we'll to pause and think whether in our foolish narrow minded quarrels as to what exact form religious teaching shall take, we are not robbing the child of that which Is the best possession of child life
 London has been much excited over the fact that the Hon. Miss Herbert has ded- icated her house and estate in the New Forest to the foundation of a Theosophist school, which Mrs. Katherine A. Tingley proposes to establish. I am much amused in reading the solemn way in which the principles which are to be taught there are set out, as though they were a new moral discovery made by this lady. Kath- crime Tingley has simply taken the Ser- mon on the Mount and appropriated it's teachings. She says that in training the young the Theosophist society recognizes that the body being the human temple, needs to be cared for as well as the mind. Our thoughts travel back to tho saying of one who told us that we were the Temple of the Holy Ghost. Again she tells us that brotherly love is the foundation of the Theosophist religion, and mot simple sentiment" It is per haps true that the basic principle or Christianity Is brotherly love. There Is nothing wanting, however, In Christian teaching; 1t Is the representatives of Lndt nave Dee1l dt lduil, diu we need not open Theosophist schools in order to understand the importance of training the young, or the foundation principles of loving one another, nor do we need a Purple Lotus Mother to show us what has been taught us by the earli- est saints down to the present time that the highest calling of man and wo- man is to love all in order to give all to humanity.
 Miss Herbert, who has identified herself with the Theosophst experiment in edu- cation, is the daughter of the Hon. Au- bernon Herbert, who on this very prop erty some thirty years ago gave shelter to Mrs. GirlDy and her congregation Of Shakers, who believed that they were immortal and could never die. This strange illiterate body of men and women created a sensation for a time, when they used to pass in and out of the forest clad in white, but when death laid his hand on some of the community their faith was shattered and the sect soon broke up. In one of the deep glades of that beautiful forest MT. Hegbert lies buried.

When he tied up with Ryan, the manager of the Amalgamated inter ests in Montana the alliance became a very strong one, and it's influence wide spreading.

ally anticipated and that there will be q decided relaxation in interest rates dur ing the early part of next year, the change being so marked and so over whelmingly indicative of improved condt- tons that general confidence will be re- stored and wheels of activity quickened to an extent now hardly hoped for. He notes with satisfaction the reflex action in the currents of moneys which has followed the stoppage of expansion and speculation in every quarter. No new en- terprises have been started in the last six months and work is being continued on old contracts only where it is compul- sorry. This is leading to an accumulation of cash in every center and In a curtail- ment of indebtedness. The process Is all ready beginning to make itself felt in all parts of the country. It will not be long until funds begin 10 flow into New York, where they will become available TOT those who have most urgent need for capital for legitimate purposes. The west and southwest are full of money and every state west of the Alleghenies and north of the Ohio is lending it's surplus on eastern paper. He noted the fact that a recent report quoted Kansas as having S15, 000,000 loaned to the east commonwealth which only few years ago was in the depths of depression, and whose credit was Dy-WOrd m lne cast. from this argument was made that the west was in reality more nearly able to finance it's own crop movement this year than at any previous time in history. Such being the case demands upon west ern balances In eastern banks will not be excessive, 1t being to the advantage Of the out of town banks to keep their surplus undisturbed In New York and oth- CT eastern centers.
 The net result of the facts and reason ings outline in the foregoing In that market prices for railroad stocks are dragging on the bottom and that no fur ther important decline may need be looked for in that class of securities. As for industrials the outlook Is not so assur. ing. great majority of the mills and factories are still going under full head on old business. Of new orders there has been a very marked decline in near ly everything. This Is especially true of the manufacturing institutions specializ- ing in copper product. Expansion In the eectrfying industry is one of the things which seemingly can best be postponed until times get better. The slump in copper metal Is directly attributable to this fact. the shutting down having led to an accumulation of copper and to shrinkage in copper stocks in New York, Boston and elsewhere.
 In this connection an interesting story is told bearing on the fortunes and achievements of Thomas F. Coles and
