THE CHARJIJF KISSING.
it Is Impossible to Scare the Sea
soned Kissing Man with Sinis
ter Talk oi Microscopic Reptiles.
Once more the warning goes
out ihai kissing is dangerous. This
lime it is voiced by Miss Ellen M.
La Motte, the ranking officer in
Dr. Bosley's corps of fair and ac
complished nurses. The contact
of lip and lip, says Miss La Motie,
affords an ideal opportunity for
the voyaging of pathogenic organ
isms. Most of these germs, when
they enter the body at all, do so
by way of the mouth. Of such
sons are the germs of diphtheria,
tuberculosis, meningitis, influenza,
the simple cold and all the familiar
juvenile plague. Therefore, it is
ihoughtless and often cruel to kiss,
and sometimes suicidal to be kiss
ed.
Tlius speaks science, and its
mandate should be observed as to
babies and by invalids. But the
great majority of folks, no doubt,
will keep on kissing. We have
often wondered at the enormous
popularity of the exercise. Why
do people kiss? The act itself is
ridiculous as a spectacle and unsat
isfying as a amusement. It sole
physical acconipiiniment is a feel
ing of suffocation, and on the
physic side of it is frequently em
barrassing, particularly if an un
suspected rudience reveals itself
say, by satiric whoops and cat
calls. It has none of the charm
of other pleasures, such as solfeg
gio, eating and automoboling, for
example. Kissing will neither
build up the anaemic nor soothe
the neurasthenic.
But ii still thrives, and no jere-
maids on its perils will ever work
its abolition. The man who makes
a practice of kissing the fair sex is
a man attracted rather than repell
ed by danger, He knows that every
kiss he steals is full of fearful haz
ard. The girl herself may black
his eye, stab him with a hatpin or
call for the police; and then again
she may choose to regard his idle
favor as an offer of marriage, and
accept him before he can escape.
Yet again, her father or brothers,
detecting him with his arm around
her neck and gazing into her fore
head, may rush him and hail him
as a relative, touching him for
small loans, calling him by his first
name and seizing offensively upon
all the other familiarities which
relatives-in-law affect. Finally,
the mother of the girl may knit
him pulse-warmers and send him
ameteur remedies for his rheuma
tism and red nose, and her little
sisters may giggle every time they
see him.
No; it is impossible to scare the
seasoned kissing man with sinister
talk of microscopic reptiles. He is
used to larger game, and he loves
danger. It is his pleasure to fare
out into space upon a gossamer
strand, blown by strong winds,and
with fathomless abyss of matrimony
yawning beneath him. In such
grisly perils he joys.—Baltimore

MINISTERIAL DIPLOMACY.
At a dinner given by the prime
minister of a little kingdom on the
Balkan Peninsula, a distinguished
diplomat complained to his host
that the minister of justice, who
had been sitting on his left, had
stolen his watch.
“Ah, he shouldn’t have done
that," said the prime minister in
tones of annoyance. ‘‘I will get it
back for you,”
Sure enough, toward the end of
evening, the watch was returned
to its owner.
“And what did he say?” asked
the diplomat.
“Sh-h,” cautioned the host,
glancing anxiously about him. “He
doesn’t know that I have got it
back.”

IN A BEAUTIFUL MORNING.
For the storms that have driven the blue from the skies
Give the dark of thy tresses—the gray of ihine eyes.
And song shall be sweet where the heart knew but sighs,
In a beautiful—beautiful morning !
Thy tresses were midnight, but ever thine eyes
Made the sun of the morning in splendor arise
In the varying blue and the gray of the skies.
In a beautiful—beautiful morning!
You knew, dear, but only Love's tenderest art,—
And now, as the lights and the shadows depart
Let me dream with your dark tresses over my heart,
In the beautiful-beautiful morning !
Let me dream, when no longer your eyes I may see.
That love in some bright world untrampled will be—
That your dear lips will steal through the mosses to me
With a kiss in a beautiful morning!
OUR STAY IN DEATH.
When on my day of life the night’s falling.
And in the wind from unsunned spaces blown,
1 hear far voices from out of darkness calling
My feet to paths unknown.
Thou who has made my home of life so pleasant.
Leave not its tenant when its walls decay;
0 Love Divine, O Helper ever present.
Be thou my strength and stay !
Be near me when all else is from me drifting—
Earth, sky, home’s picture's, days of shade and shine—
And kindly faces to my own uplifting
The love which answers mine.
1 have but thee, my Father ! Let ihy Spirit
Be with me to comfort and uphold;
No gates of pearl, no branch of palm I merit.
No streets of shining gold.
Suffice it if—my good and ill unreckoned.
And both forgiven through thy abounding grace—
1 find myself by hands familiar beckoned
Unto my fitting place.
Some humble door among thy many mansions.
Some sheltering shade where sin and striving cease,
And flows forever through heaven’s green expansions
The river of thy peace.
There, from the music round about me stealing,
I fain would learn the new and holy song,
And find at last, beneath thy trees of healing,
The life for which I long.
—John Greenleaf Whittier.
A SABBATH SCHOOL THOUGHT.
The Railroad Quldc on the Road
To Heaven.
In our common schools, acade
mies, colleges and universities,each
have their course of study, and text
books for the same; and as a stu
dent masters each branch, the text
books are laid aside and he gradu
ates to a higher. But in the Sab
bath School it is different. We
have our text book tor the whole
course, and that course should be
for life. In the Bible there are
truths which the merest child can
understand and depths of thought
which the most learned cannot
fathom. It may be called the rail
way guide on the way to heaven,
and the Sabbath School lunch
counters along the way at which
we may refresh ourselves. One
of the grandest sights for mortal
eyes is a whole family from the
tottering grandparents down to the
prattling child, all in school and
studying the same lesson, and that
lesson for eternity. A person
should never be too old, too rich,
or too wise to cease being a Sab
bath School student.

Young Edwin Higbee made his
parents quicken their respiration
and look up from their papers the
other evening in a hurry.
"Father, ” began the young man,
“how far should a fellow go with
a girl?”
“'X^hy, er-uh that depends,”
stammered William T. Higbee, the
parent. “What do you mean?”
“Well, 1 went just as far as 1
could. I didn’t know whether
she or her folks would like it if I
went any further. So I just ”
“How far did you go?” broke
in the father, excitedly, wonder

the family he might have to face
some day with such a Don Juan
for a son.
“Oh, I didn’t go any further
than the gate. I had a notion to
walk clear up to the door with
her, but I didn’t know whether 1
ought to or not, so I just stopped
at the gate and said good-bye

DEDICATION OF A HOME.
A World of Care Shut Out, A
World ol Love Within.
Not long ago Mr. and Mrs. C.
N. Page, of Des Moines, Iowa,
formally dedicated their home.
And why not ?
Churchas are formally dedicated
to their uses and temples of learn
ing and of justice and of charity
and of pleasure.
Why not dedicate the holiest of
all—the home,
The home is more needful and
more precious than any stately
place where men and women con
gregate on whatever mission.
Hearthstone and fireside are great
er than pew and pulpit, forum and
and foyer.
Take up the old book of Deuter
onomy, There you will learn that
a man was excused from war if he
had builded a house that was not
yet dedicated. The home was
first.
In the olden days a home meant
much. It was to be the abode of
many generations, It was built to
stand. It passed from father to
son.
Nowadays we build houses only
10 tear them down after a few
years or sell them. Many of us
are like birds of passage, W'e
make our nests first here and then
there. We are in too big a hurry
to dedicate them. Even the old
customs of an evening’s “house
warming” have passed away. Es
pecially is this true in the middle
west.
This Des Moines dedication was
notable.
A dedicatory hymn was written
for the occasion and sung, and the
minister offered a dedicatory pray
er. The two boys of the family
then lighted the fire on the hearth,
and the two girls lighted the even
ing lamps. Then the four-year-old
brought “papa’s slippers.” Father
and mother read alternate verses
of the poem “A Foretaste of Heav
en,”
That was all save the remarks
of a few neighbors and congratula
tions.
The four walls of this home, thus
set apart for holy uses, will house
real affection that dwells within all
the better for this distinction. Its
every precinct will be hallowed by
this joyous and loving consecra
tion.
A home that is built upon the
foundation of faith and hope and
love, where dwells light and purity
and truth, where the voices of hap
py children are heard and patter
ing feet, is heaven in miniature.
Let us have more home dedica
tions.
You are less than nothing if you
do nothing.
