THREE KISSES. J : 4 ' Philadelphia Ledger. ; The purest kiss In the world is this The kiss that a mother lays On the child's fresh lips As he blithely trips To meet the world and its ways.

Baltimore Sun "The boy or girl haa emotions, passions, longings or ambitions, perhaps inherited tendencies, which lead him or her to a more or less definite course of action. Each in dividual nature must be studied; if during the formative period, outside influences are to be made to control or guide it. The energies which all healthy children develop must be given rational or useful employment or they wifl find employment that is neither rational nor useful. Too often a boy is left to himself, aDd falls into evil ways for wanted guid ance. He engages in games that are hurtful to him, morally or phys ically, simply because be has no others offered him. And yet, if properly guided, he would find as much employment in cricket, for example, as in card playing, and would meet with better associates. Or, if fond of reading, he may waste his time over trashy novels, or flash of newspapers, sim ply because he has never had his attention directed to the wealth of improving litera lure to be found on the shelves of every public library. "Boys who are curidns and al ways in mischief simply because they are are of an inquiring turn of mind may be transformed into scientists if their attention is directed to the wonders of nature. To resist their tendencies is to invite rebellion; to humor their likings and turn them to useful account is to give them good training. No greater error is committed than the effort to make boys or girls of one pattern. They must be humored to some extent" and thoughts and energies simply guided in the right direction. Re gard must be had both to their dis positions and. to their capacities. Much unhappiness is caused b over training. The child whose mental capacity is insufficient to enable him to follow a given course of study should not be forced through' a scheme id education for which he is unfitted. The results will not compensate him for the suffering he endures, for if he should be trained to a profession when he should have been a mechanic he will biing upon it no honor, and in that case it can not honor him "The frivolities of the day are due as much to the neglect of parents as to the faults of the children. The child cannot be expected to know the pernicious influence of flash lit erature or the benefits and delights afforded by good books; he cannot be expected to- discriminate between appearances and real worth or to se lect in the amusement world the edifying and avoid the demoralizing. This is the duty of his more expe rienced 'parents and they should dis charge it with due regard to the nature, disposition and inclinations of the chila. - The captain does not attempt to sail his ship directly against the wind but he uses an ad verse wind to help him on his course by a careful observance of the laws of nature. So also the parent or guardian mtist observe natural , laws in dealing with the child's nature and guide it in the right way, not by positive resistance, which nearly always fails of its purpose, but by an intelligent use of the child's own inclinations and desires."

Applicant Will there be a chance to get up in the world ? -' -fropnetcr-At.half past three in the morning. -,.-' . " ; Baltimore Sao. People do not always recognize that besides those who have a good or a bad name, respectively, ttfere are a great many who have, so to speak, no name at all. Good names and bad names are acquired, and very many people do nothing' to distinguish themselves as either good or bad. A bad name may be acquired very quickly and some times undeservedly, but a good name is only earned by long years of upright conduct. It is -this in part which gives it value, for in gaining r it habits are established which help to preserve it A good name is reckoned as of value chiefly because it promotes the business in terests of its possessor. The man who has a good name is accorded credit according to his known means and can borrow without collateral. As the saying goes, his word is as good as his bond. But he enjoys, other advantages,- He is respected and trusted, his word is accepted us truth.. It is fardifierent witn tha man . of bad name. He has no cieiit. Men do hot care to deal with him even when he offers his bond and gives collateral security. ' They are afraid of some trie whereby they may te cheated. He is neither respeotea nor trusted, and his word 13 always doubted Between these two clas3 es there is a third, the members of which are without a name. They are neither trusted like those who have a good name' nor distrusted like those who have a bad name. They may get credit if tney enter security; tney may be beiieved if their story s supported by evidence, or is improbable; but they enjoy no such advantages as the trusted man with a good name. Many -of the members of this intermediary class are in a transitional stage. They are establishing, but have not yet established, a reputation. If they should prove through long years to be trustworthy and honest, they will be rewarded with a good name; if they should discredit themselves by dishonesty or lyiilg they will ac quire a bad name. The man who knows himself to be trustworthy, but haa not yet established a repu tation, sometimes chafes under the cold distrust of the world", which has, not yet taken his measure; but it is useless to fret about it. The good name cannot be forced; it is developed by natural processes. Apart from moral considerations, which would lead to such conduct as insures a good name, the young man who desires to attain success should guard his reputation jealous ly and seek to lift himself out ot the class without a name to the on above it. Hecaido this only in one way, and that is by being scru pulously exact, honest and truthful. He should also guard against care Ie8an683 and neglect of engagements, obligations or duties, for the world measures a man in various ways, and if it finds him tardy in fulfilling engagements and careless in the performance of duties, it will sus pect that he may carry these bad habits into his business dealings. It is not enough, therefore, to be honest in business affairs. One must be honest in all things, great and small scrupulously exact, punctual in meeting engagements, considerate of other people. It is the men who observe all these" da ties who slowly build up for them selves a good name, leaving behind them some who may be equally hon est so far as the mere payment of a debt i concerned. The man who worthily enjoya a good name does not stand upon the letter of his bond, like gfaylook; he is a just man and pays a debt just as cheerfully, if equity requires its payment, as he would pay one thai could be col lected by law. Extending the range of obligations beyond those in whioh money is concerned, it may be said that the man of good name is one who respects equity as well as Jaw, while the man of doubt ful reputation or no name is one whose honesty is felt to be depen dent upon the legal hold one may have upon him. A good name canr not be bought in the market' place it must be earned, and when it has been acquired it becomes, as Cassio .gays, the immortal part of one's self. Whire Is"fqoI Killer ?

The other person xepresent ed herself to be a wealthy widow of Denver, CoL Her name was Ellen Dunellon. The correspondence seemed to. cause mutual pleasure and photographs were exchanged. Finally the couple were married by mail. Certificates were exchanged and each went before a magistrate with vows duly signed and sworn to. They j were man an wife, but had ?ever met. , Wilkins expected, when he got to the west, to settle down as the re spected pastor of a little parish. Threeu'weekg ago he left the home of his birth; with scarcely his fare. Yesterday a letter received from him tells the- gad story that the af fair was a huge joke. There is no suoh widow.

The human family living on earth today consists of about 1,450,000, 000 souls not fewer, probably more. These are distributed literally all oer the earth's surface, there being no considerable spot on the globe where man has not found a foot hold. In Asia, the so called "cra dle of the human race," there are now about 800,000,000, people, densely crowded, on an average of about 120 to every square mile. In Europe there are 320,000,000, aver aging 100 to the square mile, not so crowded as Asia, but everywhere dense,: and in many places over pop ulated. In Africa there are, approximate ly, a 10,000,000, and in the Ameri casNorth, South and Central 10,000,000, these latter, of course, relatively thinly scattered over broad aryas. On the islands, large and small there are probably 10,000,000 more. The extremes of the bheka and the whites are as 5 to 3, the re maining 700,000,000 intermediate, brown, yellow and tawny in color. Of the entire race 500,000,000 are well clothed that is, tbey wear gar meats of some kind that will cover nakedness; 250,000,000 habitually go naked, and 700,000,000 only cov er the middle parts of the body; 500,000,000 live in houses, 700,000, 000 in nuts and cave3, the remain ing 250,000,0004virtually having no place to lay their heads. Pearls of Thought ,x A fool carries his name in his mouth. The wren has a sweeter song than the peacock. A man's good name is sometimes stolen goods. A woman who looks much in the glass spins little. All churches have some members who talk too much. The trouble about vanity is that it always mak.es one so poor to tote it. Chance opportunities make us known to others and still more to ourselves. ' 5 Punishment is a fruit that, unsus pected ripens with the flower of the pleasure that concealed it. Pleasure must first have the war rant that it is without excess. Every man is a hyprocrite who prays one way and lives another. It is even more explosive than outright ignorance. When two young people marrj for love they both marry a fortune, although they may be as poor as a couple of Job's shabbiest turkeys. If a mischief becomes public and great, acted by princes, and affected by armies, and robberies be done by whole fleets, it is virtue, it isglo ry- : The blossoms of passion, gay and luxuriant flowers, are bright and full of fragrance, but they beguile as and lead us astray, and their odor is deadly.

M organton Herald. There is great need of an addi tional Superior Court Judge in North Carolina, whose duty should be to hold courts in districts where the regular presiding judge is pre vented by sickness or other cause from holding his courts. At the present writing three out of the twelve Superior Court Judges in the State are too sick to preside over the courts. In the meantime, their courts are on hand, witnesses are summoned, litigants are preparing to attend court and in several in stances the jails are filled with,pria oners awaiting trial. This means a heavy outlay of money by counties and individuals, all for nothing. The work of a Superior Court Judge is very trying on the health, and many of them must occasionally succumb to the great physical and mental strain. It seems clear that some provision should be made to haye the places of those judges who cannot attend their courts su pplied, so that there might not be such ex pensive and wearisome delays. There should be at least two gaper numerary judges, one in the East and one in the West, who might be paid for the time actually in service, with such a reasonable salary in ad dition as would compensate them for the loss of practice incident to an acceptance of a position on the bench. Both in the point of econo my and . in the wholesome expedi ting of the courts, the State' and the taxpayers would be gainers by some such arrangement. - , . - If you wish to seoure a certain and speedy result, when using Ayer'g Sarsaparilla, be careful in observing the rules of health,-or , the benefit may be retarded.

A man grows lean upon it, - PILGBIUS IT "HAGAB'S WELL' Usui's Faaoos Ztiazen, the Source of Cboisra and the World's Danger. New Tor Herald. The Herald has already adverted to the danger of cholera in Mecca, and shown that the city is a menace to the whole world. The inhabi tants of Mecca live crowded -together, and surrouad their homes with refuse and filth and foul the water -supply. Among the religious ordi nances, which are to tne Mohamme dans commands, is that of pilgrim age to Mecca From Turkey, from a belt of country extending eastward across Asia to the farthest confines of Malay,. and from the whole of Africa, pilgrims set out e7ery year, turning their steps toward Mecca in obedience to this command. Some fall sick by the way, many die; from about 60,000 to over 100,000" each year attain their en?i; months and sometimes years have been de voted to the task, and sufferings and hardships undergone which it would be difficult tiTdescribe' While Mecca may be well enough suited to the inhabitants in ordinary times, it is not in any way prepared for the strain which comes upon it during the annual pilgrimage, and if a disease such as cholera oe then introduced it straightway spreads like wildfire. The constant cause is the drinking of cholera polluted water. Not long ago a cable dispatch told of a pilgrimage of ten thousand persons, of which more than one half never returned, having died by the way of cholera. The proceed ings of the pilgrims and the way the live also tend to the spread of the disease; The march to Arafat, the night spent there in devotion or in the crowded coffee booths, 4.he stand by the Hill of Mercy, the rush to Mina, the sacrifices,' the fearful stench from the thousands of slaughtered animals, the tawaf or seven fold circuit of the sanctuary, each of the mny thousand pilgrims kissing the black stone as he passes, the blazing heat, the intolerable thirst, the religious fervor which leads them to accept everything as holy which belongs to- Mecca, all drive the unfortunate pilgrims to the consumption of the vilest fluids under the name of water. The famous Zemzem is the repu ted "Hagar's Well" of Mecca, where it is supposed she drew water for her son Ishmael At the best of times there is bnt little water in the well and the pilgrims swarm around it Every one wishes to drink of and to bathe in thes miraculous waters. Each pilgrim, in turn, stripped to tho waist, stands beside the well while a bucket of the water is poured over him; of this he ea gerly drinks a3 it flows from the bucket, the rest flowing over his na ked body, soaking through his loin cloth and" streaming back into the well to be used again. His place is immediately taken by another and another, and so on, e:ch drinking the washing of the rest. One day this year there were 999 deaths in Mecca, and from June 8th to June 25th there were 2,201 deaths that is in 17 days. When we con sider what is done at- this well alone these figures are not to be wondered at. When the pilgrimage is over, the roadside for a dozen; miles is strewn with the dead bodies of the faithful, killed by a draught of dir ty water after all the difficulties and dangers the unfortunate people had overcome. . "ClotBre." ' , Statmaille Landmark. There has been gome discussion of a proposition to apply cloture in the ' Senate as a means of getting . vote on the bill to repeal the Sher man act. What is cloture ? The word is a French word Anglicized and is used "closure as often at otherwise. As to "closure" Web ster's dictionary tells us that it is "a method of putting an end to a de bate and securing an immediate rote upon a measure before a delibera tive body. It ie similar in effect to the previous question. It was fir sr. introduced into the .British Houso of Commons in 1882. The French word cloture was originally applied to this proceeding." ' - There is under existing rules no method of closing debate in the Sen ate A minority on any question can talk until it drops in its tracks and as long as it can talk it can stave off action. It must talk, real ly or professedly, about the subject of which the pending measure treats, and it can rest itself by sending tcr the clerk's dosk, and having read, extracts from books or articles from newspapers treating the subject of legislation. Thus, during the cur- Lrent debate, Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, the chief of tne obstructionists, h;i filled page after page of the Con gressional Jlecord with editorials from newspapers, which he has beg ged leave to submit as part of his remarks. The House of Represen tatives has the "previous question," alluded to in the quotation above. When legitimate debate upon any sudject has been exhausted in the House' and it is desired to bring the question to a vote, a member calls for the previous question. If the call is sustained by a majority of the members, debate ceases and a vote is taken. The effect of a clo ture or closure rule in the Senate would be the same as that of the previous question in the House; It would provide that on a day named the torrent of talk should stop and the public business proceed. The Senate, however, is vary jealous of its "traditions" and it is not likely that its members would agree to a cloture rule. The Senate prides it self upon the freedom of debate and for the sa ke of a sentiment it toler ates the most flagrant abuse of this liberty. Wattorson on tho Tariff.
