The Proper Length of a Kiss.

The Proper Length of a Kiss.
The extent and character of a
lawful kiss has been a subject of
judicial consideration in Milwau-
kee. An engaged couple, seated
on a couch before a window in
full view Of passers by, were
swept into an oscillation of such
intensity that a neighbor COM
planned. You know there are
many kinds of neighbors in this
varied world; and this one APP
parently was the kind which is
bound to feel grouchy if others
are happy. Taking note of what
evidently was none Of his bust
ness, he held a stop watch on the
blissful pair and took oath be-
fore the judge that the kiss last
ed 20 minutes. Being themselv-
es unconscious of times fight,
the happy lovers weren't able to
swear that the neighbor was mis-
taken. They admitted the kiss
in fact, were proud of it; and
based their defense on the con-
tention that engaged couples,
within the shelter of the mater
nal home, have a right to kiss as
often and as soulfully as they
please. This sounds like pretty
good law at least like what the
law, if it were good, ought to be.
But, alas, the Judge must have
been a crusty fellow. He ruled
that the neighbours protest was
well taken; that being engaged
gave the defendants no right to
stage a public exhibition and by
way of ACCOMPLISHMENT fined then
$40 apiece plus costs. Do you

The price named for the bird, the

Isn't 26 cents rather high?" she
timidly queried. "If remember right

cents"

the quick response of the butcher.

Should we provide windows for those

scientific ventilation and heating were
provided, but the walls were left un.

soon the poor inmates grew pale, and
a great languor fell upon them. They
fell sick, and one or two died. Then
it was that the committee decided to
open windows in the walls. In came

WORKING WITH DULL TOOLS.

l criticized a carpenter working for
me recently for using dull tools. He
excused himself by saying that he had
been too busy to sharpen them. He
had been working for weeks with a
dull saw and with plane which had
notches in it, leaving ugly ridges on
the boards he was planning. This man
had probably wasted more time in
working with dull tools than it would
have taken to sharpen them several
times, to say nothing of the inferior
work he was turning out.
There are multitudes Of people who
never do good work because they
never prepare for it, never put them
selves in a position to do good work
they never sharpened their tools;
never trained themselves for it, and
they go through life botching their
jobs.
Every youth should put himself in
superb condition to make his life a
success. He should prepare himself
to do the best work of which he is
capable.
One great reason why so many
people make botches of their lives is
because they didn't start right, they
never learned their life trade. 1t
does not matter what a youth decides
to do in life. he should endeavor to
be an expert in it, an artist instead
of an artisan.
Our intelligence offices are con-
stantly filled with people, no matter
how good the times, who have never
half learned to do any particular thing,
never learned any trade. The great
majority Of house servants do domes-
tic work because they never learned

DUST BOXES FOR WINTER USE
One Of Most Economical and conVen-
lent Ways Of Keeping Fowls Free
From All Kinds Of Vermin.

The dust wallow is one of the most
economical ways Of ridding fowls Of all
kinds of vermin, especially lice. If
for no other reason, this ought to be
sufficient to make it worth while to
have a dust box in the poultry house.
Some appear to believe that fowls
kept free from lice can do without a
dust wallow. In the first place there
are very few fiocks of poultry, if any,
entirely free from vermin, and in the
second place the fowls appear to en-
Joy taking a dust wallow. Remember
it takes a comfortable hen to be a
good layer.
In the spring and summer dust boxes
are unnecessary because the fowls can
enjoy outside dust wallows. In the
winter, however, dust boxes are neces-
saTV. A small box, say three feet
square, will nicely answer the purpose
o. dust box for flock of so or less
hens. There are three common forms
u dust boxes. One is an ordinary box
Oiaced in front of a south window, an
other is an especially constructed cOv-
cred box placed on the inside of the
house in front Of a south window, and
the third is the outside dust box, built
as a lean-to on the south side of the
house. A glass top makes it more
pleasant. The latter is the most desir-
able, because it is out of the way,
makes it possible to renew the busting
material from the outside, and has a
greater tendency to keep the dust out
Of the house, although not entirely.
Then, too, this form does not take up
valuable room in the house which it
would in case it were not placed on
legs up from the floor.
Dust boxes should always be located
l. front of a south window. 1t isSad-
Eisable to cover them to prevent the
dust from being thrown all over the
interior of the house, to keep the fowls
from roosting in the same or on the
same.
One Of the best busting materials is
an equal mixture of fine sand, sifted
coal ashes and road dust, procured
during the summer from a much trav
.eIed highway. The proper depth of q
dust box is about twelve inches, six
inches of which should be filled with
busting material.

As to kissing.

The kings and high officials of Eu-
rope, when they meet, always embrace
and kiss each other, no matter what
their relations have been in the past
or may be in the immediate future.
This is kiss of respect. 1t may be
given on the lips. the cheek, the brow
or the beard and is nicely adjusted, ac.
cording to the age and rank of the
giver. From this close personal con.
tact it passes through many forms; ;
kissing the hand, parts of the clothing
and even the ground ,trodden upon,
according to the idea of respec. OF
fear inspiring the one who performs
the act.-Chrlstian Herald.

as fresh ones, and turkey eggs cost
anywhere from 25 cents to 81 each.
The Mammoth Bronze is a very
large and beautiful bird Of the color
the name implies. We have raised the
Bronze for a number of years, and
find this breed possesses more good
points than any one of the others we
have known of.
The Bronze is more vigorous and
therefore less difficult to raise than
the White Holland or Narragansett.
The latter is about as large in ap-
pearance as the Bronze, but is some
what lighter in weight.
The White Holland and Bourbon are
becoming more popular than formerly,
on account of their domestic habits.
They are rather small in size and
quite tame in habit preferring to stay
close at home
When buying breeding stock it is
best to secure the male bird from one
breeder and the females from another,
so that the birds will not be akin.
Turkeys selected at random from a
Dealers flock may or may not be re.
lated, but 1t is not safe to take chances.
Inbreeding is disastrous with tur-
keys. Do not keep more than six
hens with gobbler, unless he is an
old one.
We find that two-year-old hens with
yearling tom produce finer turkeys
than young hens. Never keep young
hens with an old male bird.
If the hens and gobblers are both
young the eggs will seldom hatch well,
and the poults are less vigorous than
if one or the other is more mature.
Turkeys should not be crossed.
