Freedom Of the Press.

The battle for free press in the
full modern sense was fought out be
tween 1894 and III, beginning with
the prosecution Of Wilkes for attack
ing Butte in the North Briton and end
ing with the successful resistance TO
the proclamation by which the com
mons had forbidden the publication Of
their debates. Six printers who had
infringed the proclamation were sum
moned to the bar Of the house. Five
obeyed, and the messenger OF the
house was sent to arrest the sixth.
The lord mayor sent the messenger to
prison. The house Of commons sent
the lord mayor to the Tower, but he
was released at the next propagation.
and the day on which he left the Tower
marked the end of the last attempt TO
silence the press.-New York AIneri-

Always Waning.

A Frenchman who apparently has q
good deal of time on his hands has
been amusing himself by reckoning ul
the number Of kisses he has given bis
wife during the first twenty years OF
his married life.
He finds that In the first year he dis.
pensed about 100 kisses day. or, say
allowing for birthdays and legal and
church holidays, about 36,7OO in the
year.
In the second year this number was
reduced by half and in the third year
to ten a day, while In the fifth year
his better half had to be content with
two a day, one In the morning and
one in the evening.
What happened in the fifth year Is

rived eventually at one kiss on the first
