KISSIN G..
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

There are all sorts and degrees OF
kisses from the life-giving kiss Of Cupid
and Psyche to the death-sealing kiss OF
Judas But of all the kisses the kiss of
a man and a woman, equally smitten with
the dangerous disease Of love, is the
ideal: which to my knowledge has been
nowhere indicated in words more art
fully than in Tennyson's Fatima:
20 love! o fire. once he drew
With one long kiss my whole soul
through
Ny lips. as sunlight drinketh dew"
1t is the soul rising to the lips that
makes kiss a full sacrament; that is
an outward act expressing a spiritual
reality.
The mouth is the exit portal Of thought.
the lips coin those sounds that enbody
the creations of the brain. SO 1t is but
natural that the meeting of lips Is the
perfect symbol of unity. To lovers all
the words possible to be said melt into
the mute substance Of a kiss.
To one who feels this the custom of
indiscrimnate kissing Is not agreeable.
Nor" says Montaigne Florio's trans
lation). do we men game much by it,:
for as the world is divided into four
parts. so for four faire ones We must
stomach. as are those Of mine age, one ill
kisse doth surpay one good
1t would be interesting to find a COM
plete history of kissing. combined with a
discriminating classification Of the various
species and gent Of kisses. all by some
learned author who might be old enough
not to be suspected and still young
enough to know what he was talking
about.
For kiss has as many meanings and
connotations as a word, and each kiss
has its accent and pronunciation, SO to
speak. If the performance is hurried, a
mere brushing Of the lips. 1t says some
thing quite different from that touch
where there is a little loathing to part.
There are races, as the Japanese, where
kissing is not the custom, and certain
negro tribes rub noses in sign of amity !:
and there are rational nuisances who
would like to set back our civilization to
this mark: but l can conceive Of no
tyranny more odiOus than that of ply
sicians; by all means let us live antisep-
tically, but I hope never to see the day
when our fear of microbes will be strong
er than our courage to kiss the lips that
ask.
There is the paternal kiss. upon the
forehead; and the French family kiss on
one cheek and then OH the other; the
courtly kiss upon the hand; and the fare
well kiss blown from the finger tips; the
kiss upon the Bible in oath taking; and
the kiss upon the dust of the ground.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
Harry Kirk Elected Clerk to Fill I'm
expired Term of the Late Hubert
Snowden.

All the members Of the city school
board were present last night. Some
routine business was disposed of, but
most of the time the board was in ses-
sion was consumed in the considera-
ton of a second communication from
the Ministerial Association of the city
suggesting that the reading of the
Bible in the public schools be not pro-
scribed. The matter brought on a
prolonged interchange Of opinion. AS
matter of fact the reading of the
Bible is not interdicted, the matter be-
ing optional with teachers. A reso-
luton was finally adopted setting
forth this fact.
DR.. w. NJ. Smith, chairman Of the
board formally announced the de-
cease of Hubert Snowden, who fol-
many years had been clerk of the
board, expressing in feeling terms the
unanimous opinion of the members
that faithful and capable official had
passed away.
A committee, consisting of the chair
man and Messrs. Thomas Carter and
Luther H. Thompson, were appointed
to prepare suitable resolutions in res
meet to his memory.
The board then went into an elect
ion for clerk Harry Kirk was placed
in nomination. No other nominations
having been made, Mr.. Kirk was elect

principal of the High School was read
as was also a petition signed by rs cit
zens, requesting the board to endcavol
to persuade Mr.. Anderson to rcconsid'
er his purpose to retire from our pub
lie school system.
After the transaction of some gen
eral business the board adjourned.

STOLE RAILROAD BRASS.
White Man Fined $40 and CoIored
Boy Sent 10 Reform
School.

Among the cases before the Police
Court this morning was that of Clyde
Sullivan, a young white man, who
had been arrested on the charge Of
stealing journal brass from the South
ern Railway Company. 1t was stated
that the brass which was exhibited in
the court cost the company $3.50.
Justice Cation, in summing up the
case, said that inasmuch as this was
the defendants first offense, he
would not impose Jail sentence, but
would fine Sullivan an amount suffi-
cient to deter others from being
guilty of similar offense. He asses
sed him $50.
A twelve-year-old colorcd boy NAM
ed George Hill was subsequently
placed in the dock to answer a sim
liar charge. Some brass in bag
was produced. 1t was claimed by
the defense that the accused found the
brass where some other boy had left
it. Justice Cation sentenced the boy
to the reform school.
Railroad companies often complain
to the authorities of the theft OF
journal brasscs. They are costly ne.
ccssaries to company, and are Of,
ten stolen and disposed of for small
sums.
