once prosperous bear makers is to in- vent an equally popular Taft emblem. Probably the most novel scale of prices existing in New York is that embodied fin the schedule just issued covering the price of kisses.
 The value of such oscu1atory saIu- tations has long been a matter on which the courts of the city have dif- fered widely. The price as determined by them has varied from minimum of cent to a maximum of several thous- and dollars. But while the law has never been able to establish schedule Ecommercialism urged on by charity at last has.
 At aM entertainment to be given next week to raise funds for the beneflt of the destitute crippled children of the city. kisses will be sold by young wo- man who has volunteered her services. The following is the remarkable price list which she has established, scientifically arranged in a manner en- tirely new:
 Boys under Is years of age. IS cents. Young men between the age of i9 and 25. 25 cents.
 College students. so cents.
 Men from 25 to 40 years of age, ST. Old men. $135.
 Theatrical managers s2.
 Miilionaires. s5 cents.
 Children, 10 cents.
 Politicians, free.
 Just why mfilionaires should be ac- corded such a low price is not known. but 1t is claimed that this surprising list has been systematically worked out, and that the figures in each case Is calculated to result In the greatest

 The new siXteen-s story building of the Lawyers Title Insurance and Trust Company. at 166 Broadway would be considered a skysraper almost any where else. but in lower Manhattan there are several buildings that quite look down upon 1t from their upper stories. This fact has caused the com pany to order It's name painted flat on the roof of the building where 1t will be visible from scores of windows in the Singer and City Investing build ings by day. as well as to the man in the moon and the inhabitants of Mars by night.
 The scheme of painting a sign on a fiat roof 200 feet above the street level Is certainly original and is a strik- ing commentary on the number of per sons whose business will take them still higher up every day and who are thus worth reaching by means of this novel form of advertising.

Berlin, July 16.-The unusual heat and the resulting desire of the Der linars to go bathing. have given the city fathers who guard the morals of the German metropolis many unhappy hours.
 As Berlin is situated far away from any seashore. its overh eated inhabi- tants have seized the large fresh wa ter take Wannsee for bathing purposes and horrified the authorities by bathing from the beach in the open.
 A few days after the discovery of tn e usefulness of Wannsee as a bathing resort, hundreds of thousands of Der liners were lining it's shores. and they all wanted to go swimming at the same time. The like of the scene had never been seen in Germany. Men, wo- men and children were bathing promis- cuously. wearing only the merest ex- cuse for a bathing suit. which for the men was hardly more than a belt.
 On the shore primitive tents were put up. consisting of two sticks sup porting a sheet, and in thees tents people dressed and undressed When leaving the water, they promenaded sn the shade of the trees, where low ing couples were flirting. and where men and women in more than primitive bathing suits were playing tennis or cricket.
 Big Tat Germans wearing little more than Adam could be seen sitting like Cerebusses outside the tents which did not conceal from the passeFby that their female relations were undressing or dressing.
 This was all very original and amus- tng to the observer who came with opera glass and cameras, but it aroused the Indignation of the "sittliche" press, which feared that the body was kept clean at the expense of the purity of the soul. A newspaper crusade in the Interest of virtue and morality follow ed. which forced the city fathers to take action.
 Now there are at Wannsee separate tents for ladies and gentlemen and tents for families.
 The authorities hesitated to make

It was stated that her world famous black powder cured man and beast of every known disease. The judge asked what the powder was made from and the wise woman replied with much dignity.

An extraordinary story proving that ancient approximations concerning witches are not yet dead even in en- frightened Germany, was told the other day at the trial of a woman named Krakow, at Mecklenburg- -Schwerin. She was charged with dcfrauding a family named Rolienhagen of a sum of s225.
 The Rollenhagens live at Greves- muchlen, little town not far from Schwerin. and Frau Rollenhagen being a sufferer from dyspepsia. often talked over her sufferings with her nelghbor. Frau Krakow. The latter declared that she knew a witch at wismai who could, by charms, cure all diseases. All the witch wanted was sample of Frau Roiienhagen's hair. the rest would be easy.
 The necessary locks were shorn, and Frau Krakow. paid a visit to Wismar, returning with a black powder. which Frau Rolenhagen duly swallowed. Her dyspepsia soon afterwards disappeared and her faith In the witch was firmly established.
 Accordingly when. her daughter was discharged from her position for theft she once more sought the help of Frau Krakow and the latter declared that there was no doubt. the girl had been bewitched into stealing. and advised her to consult the wise woman of Wis
 
 cordIng to Frau Krakow, suggested drastic measures. The witches could only be laid. she said. by boiling four horses livers for four hours and af- forwards placing them in four fiower- pots. upon each of which she was to place a twenty mark piece. The pots were then to be placed at a crossroads by Frau Krakow.
 This was done but the witches then began to y9nsuit Frau Rollenhagen in anonymous letters containing fishes tafis and the wise woman advised through Frau Krakow the purchase of a special witches broom for eighty marks With this broom Frau Roi- ienhagen beat a shirt daily for two hours. being assured that every blow was felt by the witch. She beat until the broom broke.
 Then the wise woman insisted that the heart of groupdmoie be cut out. roasted and hung around the girls neck in a silver locket to keep her out of the hands of the police.
 The wise woman then demanded l50 marks and Frau RoIienhagen's son-in- iaw brought the matter Into court in schwerin. The trial ended with Frau Krakow being sentenced to one years Imprisonment

 this demand. but they had most gem ial idea. To De allowed to use the same tent, couples must bring along at least one baby or child to prove they are married. Married couples who have no children do not come into consideration at all.
