TELEPHONE CLOCKS.
Put in Like Telephones and Run En
 tirely From Central Office.

Telephone companies are now furnish ing their subscribers at a small annual rental self-winding electric clocks that givs absolutely accurate time.
 The clocks can be placed anywhere in the house says Popular Mechanics. and are connected to the telephone wires by means of concealed wires.
 The telephone clock never stops. for 1t never runs down, and should it vary a second or two in the course of the twen- ty-four hours it will be correct again within few hours. for each day all the telephone clocks in the city are synchron- ized or set.
 his setting is done from the central office at some hour when the telephone Is least likely to be in use, say o'clock a. m. The setting requires only a mo- ment and is accomplished by separate current from the master clock.
 The operation of the telephone clock is simple. The winding is done by means of dry batteries which energize the mag net and cause it to lift alternately two small round weights each one of which fin falling once will operate the clock seven and one-half minutes.
 The system is said to be absolutely safe. The rental of clock is about the same price as people pay for having clocks cleaned each year

ORIGIN OF THE KISS.
Its Earliest Form-The Caress of the
 Ancient Indians.

From the Philadelphia North American
 At yesterdays session of the American Oriental society, Professor Hopkins of Yale read a paper on ''The Sniff Kiss in Ancient India" Reduced to its founda- ton, the paper was a history of the kiss as we know it. The learned orientalst traced it from it's birth and proved that the earliest peoples and earliest times knew it not. That there might be no mistake he labelled the kiss of today the genuine kiss" and the perfect kiss
 Oddlyenough, he finds that the genuine kiss was invented by woman. The de- scrption is given in the epic of ancient India which treats of the science of love.
 She laid her mouth to my month"; recites the poet and made a noise which gave me pleasure.'
 "The early peoples,'' declared Professor Hopkins. knew nothing of the kiss In early form Had they known of 1t they would have told something of 1t in the mass of records that has come down to us for surely an act which conveys such plea sure could not have been forgotten. Even to this day there are races that do not kiss. The Mongolians and cer- tain of the tribes in Central Asia do not osculate. and the Exquimaux, We are told, employ the kiss only as l prophy- tactic.
 ''The earliest form of the kiss is that which we know as the sniff kiss. This is smelling, usually of the head. The 1 father of a newborn son sniffed his head that his days might be long and that l honors might come to him. Returning ! from a journey, he sniffed the heads of | his children in the same manner.- | Gradually with this sniff kiss there | came also a caress. a touching usually of | the head. Gradually. also, the endear- | ment came to be aplied to others than 1 children. The rubbing of noses, which ] has persisted in some tribes, was prob

 The portrait, which is now all but finished, shows the portly chief magis- trate seated in chair or the Regence period. The facial resemblance is eX- celent, but what attracts one most are the hands of M Fallieres, which are re- markable well done, one of them rest ing on the arm of the chair, while the other falls carelessly on the lnee
 M. Bonnat, who is now seventy-four years of age, and who has painted the portraits of six presidents, declares that this is to be his last work, as he thinks he has earned little rest.
 A novel kind of salon is shortly to be inaugurated in Paris. It is to be an ex- hibtion of humorous works by ilustra- tors on all the leading French periodi- calls. and is to be called "Salon des Art istes Humoristes."
 This year it is to be domiciled in the Grand Palais, Champs Elysees, and ac- cording to the latest resolution by the committee in charge artists of all other countries are to be asked to participate. It is hoped that several American car toonists will exhibit samples of Ameri- can cartoons, which arc conceded to be far more biting and powerful, though less artistic, than those of their French col leagues.

 Baroness Edmond de Pourtales nee Miss Barber, has just returned from guest of ex-Empress Eugenie at the Villa

 The Baroness, who has been in rather poor health, and who is the only Ameri- can born lady who is received on abso- lute terms of equality by the French 'haute noblesse," is now feeling splendid and intends to entertain on a large scale this spring, and invitations to her salons are eagerly sought by French and Amer jeans alike.

Two Pound Fish in a Juq.

Bourbon Correspondence of the Indianap-
 oils News.
 A remarkable catch of fish was made here yesterday. While workmen were busy cleaning out old ditch that had been abandoned for five years they came upon an old jug. In the jug was a two pound fish that was as lively as if just taken from the river.
 It is supposed that it entered the jug when it was a minnow. The neck of the jug was much smaller than the fish.

then Brown picked up his bed and walked
to the nearest patrol box Later Williams
