clergy have access, and plainly intimated that the deed had probably been perpetrated by some fanatical member of the Irreconcilable party at the Vatican, with the object of producing a panic and thus bringing to an end the course of Father Agostino's sermons.
There is ground for believing that the insinua- tions of the Prime Minister were well-founded. For the Daly persons in whose eyes the ardent patriolism and fervideloquence of Padre Agostino find no favor are Just those: members of the Ireconcilable party who seek to frustrate every move of the Pontiff toward a "modus vivendi" with the Royal Government.

Kissing has been fas ages the keynote of poetry and art. Even the grave Theodore Tilton betrays himself in the verse:
Leaming French (a full tổ slips. Do as I do with the lipka
Here's the right way, you poreciva i Alner, aimer c'est à virra
And the self-contained Josephine Hust once wrote a poetic love letter, in which she says:
And were this moment an angel pastested
Of the peace and the joy that are given the blast,
I would fing my white robes un epingly down

To nelle once more in the haven of rest,

Jare not ka kinne.
I dare not leg a smile,
Lest hastag that or this
I might grow proud the white.
No, not the most share

with the Romans. A law was passed, so the CHINA COAST METEOROLOGICAL atory runs, that the women should drink no wine, and the husbands, in order to satisfy themselves that their wives were obedient, used to make a practice of tasting their lips. This duty became so so much of a pleasure that the custom was con tinued, and the people from other parts of the world who went to Rome of course conformed to the universal decree that they must do as the Romans did, and in every case the practice of kissing became a habit which they not only retained but transmitted to their children.

The story is all right as far as it goes, but it's little bard to make a nineteenth century individual believe that men and women lived in. this world 6,000 years before they learned what delight there is in the meeting of the lips. It would be much more reasonable to tell one that Eve's rosy Jips lured our universal grandfather to disobedience by, other means than spoken argument. Scientists have tried to analyze kisses; they give long dissertations upon the
contact of the terminal nerves," and all that di sort of thing, but I'll guarantee that the wisest of them forgets all about terminations when he kisses the woman he loves.
I wonder that some one hasn't written a book sciting forth the different styles of asculation, for, although the fashion is such an old one and so universal
IT ADMITS OF MANY VARIATIONS. We all remember how mother used to kiss us when she came to tuck in the blanket and say "good-night". It is something we can't forget, and wouldn't if we could, for the memory goes with us, clings to us, and with some it is the only clean thing that does. I hold that a man or woman cannot be wholly bad who once had
a good-mother's kisses. There will be one white

Then there is the kiss of friendship that usually falls on check or braw, somewhat frosty sometimes, and as a rule quite un- satisfactory. 1 don't think kisses were in- tended for Platonian tokede, If you ask
me where all the sweetness and tenderness and ecstacy of kissing culminates I will answer you, upon a maiden's lips when her lover's first carcas falls there. Some one with the true artist's sense of eternal fitness ought to paint a picture of a dainty golden haired girl in white, standing by a rose-tree in full bloom, with the Jane sky abovë her, and the air filled with bird songs and balmy zephyrs. You could not paint these, but the public imagination is pretty well educated- her girlish dimple hands prisoned in stronger ones, her innocent eyes uplifted with all her love mirrored in them, her sweet, soft lips, full and rosy, parted a little for the caress from the mustached mouth so near.
