DISPENSER of Kisses.

A Frenchman. who apparently has
been amusing himself by reckoning
up the number of kisses he has given
his wife during the first 20 years of
his married life.
He finds that in the first year he
dispensed about 100 kisses a 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 day, one in the morning
and one in the evening.
What happened after the fifth year
is wrapped in mystery" but at the
same rate of progression" he prob
ably arrived eventually at one kiss on
the first of January every leap year.

The Road to Content.

1t is frequently said that family
can live for much less in England than
In America, although the details are
seldom given in support of the state
ment. A committee of representative
English workingmen, which visited
that there is practically no difference
in the price of food in the two coun-
tries, and that in some parts of Eng
land provisions are more expensive
than in New York. Rent is higher
here than in Great Britain. But even
with the greater rent the American
workingman is better off, for his wages
are so much higher than those paid on
the other side that, as the committee
has reported, the American can save
two dollars as easily as the English
man so cents. The contented workman
is the one who saves 50 cents or two
dollars, rather than the one who com
plains that his wages are so small that
he can save nothing. The newspapers
noted the death the other day of a
man in Scotland who had never
earned more than eight dollars week,
yet had educated two of his five chill.
dren well enough for them to enter the
learned professions, and had a surplus
of movable property worth $1,000.
There is in a New England town. re-
lates the Youths Companion. a shoe
worker who. when he was young
man, resolved that he would save
enough ont of his wages to be able to
retire and live on his interest at the
age of 60 He retired at the age of IS,
with a home and a competency; yet he
never received more than $l5 a week.
1t is men of this type the world over
who are the bon, and sinew OF their
respective countries. In democracies
such as England and America they
control in a real sense the national
policies. The cost of living does not
trouble them very much, for they have
schOoled themselves to adjusting their
immediate wants to the necessity of
providing for a future when hey may
rest from thier labors.

Three Dailies For Greeley.

correspondent Of the Denver Repub
lican Greeley is likely to have three
daily newspapers by June 18th. D. A
Thompson. recently from Los Angeles
returns to Greeley TO take charge OF
the Weld County Republican and its
recent editor will publish a daily to be
called the Pioneer. This, it is said
will force tie Greeley Sun, semi
weekly, and the Greeley Tribune, pub
lished since 1870, into the field as

Small sympathy need be expended
on the New Workers who were taken
in by fake pictures, which they ina
gined were works of art over which
old masters had labored, whereas they
were copies by art students If New
Yorker or anyone else desires to
spend his money for age rather than
for art let him do so. but if he admres
the pictures Of the old masers for their
great beauty and superior merit,
where is the harm if he gets one of
the same kind, only more beautiful
and several hundred years fresher?
Indeed, we have long thought that the
printing presses should be started up.
so that everybody who desired them
could have the old masters. We do not
see why a line of old masters should
not be put on the market which would
make the originals look as if they had
been dragged from a secondhand
store.
