Always WSnind.

A Frenchman who apparently has a good deal of time on his hands has been amusing himself by reckoning up the number of kisses he has given his 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 3G,700 in the year.
 In the second year this number was reduced by half and in the third year to ten . 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 wrapped in mystery" but at the same rate of progression" he probably ar rived eventually at one kiss on the first of January every leap year.

Queer Virginia Oysters.

But. sure enough. did you know there. were some oysters. and Virginia oys- ters at that. which cannot live always under sheets of water? The seaside oyster does not grow in deep water say over ten feet, and the most and best of them grow in water so shoa that it is dry ebb half the time. These latter are the most prolific seed bear CTS we have. but they will die # planted in deep water or in the Chesa peake bay. The inside or bay oyster should never ebb bare to thrive best Singular, isn't it, that the Virginia oysters, one and the same bivalyes, can lead a double life, but only one phase of it at time! The seaside fellow must be out of water good portion of his time to thrive. while the bay and river fellow will die in sum. mer and freeze in winter if exposed tO the air.-virginia Citizen.

A pleasing, good, high grade, truly favored, amber colored cup of coffee can be had-and without the real eof. fee danger, or damage to health, by simply using Dr. Shoop's new substi- ute, called Health Coffee. Pure, whole some, toasted cereals, malt, nuts, etc, make Dr. Shoop's Health Coffee both healthfal and satisfying. No 20 to 30 minutes tedious boiling. "Made in a minute" says Dr. Shoop. If served as coffee, its taste will even trick an ex' pert. Test it and see. Morehead & Lunn.

Ereadonn of the Press.

The battle for free press in the full modern sense was fought out be- tween 1764 and l771, beginning with the prosecution of Wilkes for attack ing Bute 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 be left the Tower marked the end of the last attempt to silence the press.-New York Ameri- can.
