There is*a good deal more mean ing to a kiss than ia generally cred itud to it. It sometimes means true friendship, often denotes af fection and too often it is an act of deception as was the kiss of Judtt*. Promiscuous kissing on the part of tt person, that i* kissing everything at.tl anything, bus in real meaning. It is hot in fact kissing. It is merely the formality of sticking yrur puckered lips against an ob* ji ft at.d making a smacking noise. The purest, swieltst kiss, is that given by a boy to his mother.— When you see a boy, no matter if be is foity or one year old, proud of bis mother and not ashamed to kiss her, nhd not afraid be will be cot frittered n sentimental fool by others for doing it, you bavo f >und inn who has a spark of true manhood in him, uo matter whfet or how bad l.i« g» n ral record may be.

No, tbc boy who kisset bis mother is every inch a man. it is a proud record for any man to bavrq to have it said be always kisser bis mother. What Sort of Old Ago. We find the following going the rout.di credited to an “exchange.” We may have published it before —if so its reproduction will do no barm: Have you ever thought "What sort of an old person you will make?” bhall you be so queruel- an t acid iu your dispo»ition that there will cotro a sigh of re lief from the relatives and neigh bors when the clods of the valley cover you ?—or will you bo so bright and genial that yoilf pret ence will be like a ray of sunshine and throw brightnris on the path of those around you? Will you scatter benedictions from saintly lips, or throw out complaints as you move downward toward life’s . lose ?—Will you be sensitive and troublesome, taking .offenses when none are intended, or will you be generous and agreeable, making your life and the lives of these around you pleasant ? Theso are questions you dare not aat aajtfo, sime your own happiness and that of those you love is bound np in the answer you shall make. You are the architect of your own dc*> tiny.

The cumulative power of money is a fact very generally known,-but not generally appreciated. There are few men living at the age of 65, hanging on to existence by some slender employmeut, or pen sioners, it may be on the bounty of kindred or friends, but might, by exercising the smallest partiule of thrift, rigidly adhered to ia the past, have set aside a considerable sum which would materially help them to maintain their independ ence in their old age. Let us take the small and insignificant sum of 5 cents, which wo daily pay to have our boot* blacked, to ride ia a car the distance we nre able to walk, or to procure a bad cigar we are bet ter off without, and see what its value is in the course of years. Wo will suppose a boy of 15, by blacking his own boots, or saving his car fare, or going without his cherished cigarette, put by 5 cents a day; in ono year he saves $18.35, which being banked bears interest at tho rato of 5 per cont. per on num, compounded bi-yoarly. On this basis, when our thrifty youth reaches tho age of 65, having set his 5 cents per day religiously aside during 50 years, the result is sur prising. Ho has accumulated no less u sum than $3,803.17. A scrutiny of tho progress of this result is interesting. At tho age of 30 our hero bad $305; at 45, $877; at 50,11,607; at 60, $2,002. After 15 years saving his annual in tercst more that equals his original principal; in 25 years it is more than double; in 35 years it is four times as much; in 45 years it is eight times as much, and the last year's interest is $86, or 10} times as much as the annual amount lie puts by. Tho actual cash amount eaved in 50 years is $912.60, tho difference between that snd tho grand total of 83,893.17, viz.. $2,980.67, is accumulated interest. What a magnificent premium for the mini mum of thrift that can be well rep resented iu figures \—lirooklyn Eagle. Cocoannts as Food. The Fiji Times, in speaking of the value of the coconnut as food rations, stales tbut a vessel left San Froncifco with 400 passengers for Sidney, and, In consequence of running short of stores, put in at Samsa, where a largo quantity of cocoauuts wero obtained. Th« weitber becimo so severo that the remainder of tho passage consum. d citghty days, so that men, women, and children were reduced entirely to a cocoanut diet, and wero oblig- lo be contebted at last with one per diem for each adult. "Not* withstanding this diet,” says tho n port, "not a life was lust, and not a single case of sickness occur red, all the passengers landed in a healthy and well nourished con dition.” WnsitE It Goes.—The facts os to whiskey consumption in our country have been continually Ig nored by reformers who deal in beaded rhetoric. Officially consid ered, something over 70,000,000 gallons of whisky are consumed every year; but fully two-fifths of this amount is taken by certain branches of manufactures and the arts* leaving about 47.000,000 gal lons oi proof spirits, including spirits distilled from fruits and imported spirits, to be consumed as drink by the people. As there ere 12,830,349 males over twenty- one years ot ago in the country, the consumption of whisky is less than foor gallons a year for each individual, snd counting the wo* men and juveniles who drink* this pro rata is still further reduced. The wine consumption is about 26,000,000 gallons yearly. When wo arrive at beer, the consumption is found to bo very Urge. Here it U judicious to admit some intem perance. The beer drinkers ah* sorb nearly 63,000.000 gallons of their favorite tipple, ell of which ‘is made in thU country, except pbout 1,500,000 gallons* Daring a dense fog a Mississippi [ learnboat took landing. A trav eler anxious to go ahead, came to tba unperturbed manager of the wheel, and asked why they Stop pe& ‘‘Too much fog; Can’t see the river.” "But yon can eeo the stars overhead.” "Yes,” replied the urbane pilot, "but until the bolter bursts we ain’t going that way.” The passenger went to bed. An Emergency. A man with a weak and humble expression end weariug a summer suit of clothes applied to one of the railroad passenger agents for a dead head pass lo Toledo. "Why do you want to go to Toledo?” "Xo git married.” "And you haven’t any mono)'.” "Not above 25 cents,” "Hadn’t you letter be worth your fare to Toledo before taking a wife on your bands to support?” "You oon’t understand the case,” protested the man. "I’m going to marry a widow worth at least $5,- 000, and the first thing I shall do will bo to remit you the price of the ticket I’m poor, and the widow knows it, but sbe marries me for love.” lie protested so long and earn estly that ho wus finally passed down the road. Two days elapsed and then a letter was received from him, snying: “Heaven bless you for your kindliest! Reached here all right, and married tho widow according to progiammo. It turns out tliut she isn't worth a copper. In this emergency may I ask you to pass us both to Detroit, where 1 have hopes of striking a job V*—Detroit Free Press. Speaking cf newly born iufants, Prof. Genzmer says that tho sense of touch is developed from the earliest period, and refiex uctions are readily excited hy tho s'igkiest stimulation, especially of tho face, aad I hen of the hunds and soles. The feeling of brain is only clearly exhibited after four or five weeks, before which timo infants do not shod tears. Hunger and thirst are manifested in increased general ir ritability, with refiex movements, which cease aftor the first week. Smell and taste are not distinguish able to infants. Hearing is per ceptible in the first or second day of life. They aro very sensitive to light, and after a few days learn to follow the motion of objects by moving thoir head. Between the fourth and fifth week tho conver* genoo of the pupils and power of co ordination in vision are percep tible. A distinct perception of color does not exist under four or five months. Tub Buckicyb von Hubuuatiz. —"They can joke all they please about tho Buckeye state,” said a happydooking passenger; "I don’t care what they say about her, her politicians, her hogs and other things, but I tell you thcro is a thing that came from old Ohio that I wouldu’t take $1,000 for if I couldn’t got anothor.” And he pulled out a big, fat, shiny buck eye.

I know you don’t believe it, but it's so, and 1 know of a dozen other men that's tried it with the samo result*" Differences in faith are inevitable. Men cannot believe alike more than they can look alike or aot alike. Their faith will vary with their temperament, with their edu cation, with their babiteof thought, with the influences around them. Some will be able to believe what others cannot possibly believe.— Borne will accept rapidly what others cannot be persuaded to ac cept—C. JI. Brigham.

A Winneppg, Men., correspond ent of the Montreal Globe says: In early times (jie buffalo was seen as far east as the Atlantic coast, but in recent years he hoe seldom been met east of the Mis sissippi river, and he is still mov ing westward, even across the Rocky mountains. I was told by an old settler that when he camo here 50 years ago the buffalo would come right up to the stock ades around the forts on the lied river to graze, and the half breeds found it more profitable to hunt them than to farm. To give an idea of tho hunting bauds that went out on the plains every sum mer, the brigade that left the set tlement iu lo40 ccnainted of 1,210 carts, 655 cart horses, 586 draught oxen, 483 saddle horses lor the hunt, 1,249 butcher knives, 740 flint lock guns, 120 gallons of pow der, 1,300 pounds of ball, 6,240 gun flints, and the number of per sons iu the band amounted to 1,< 630 souls, men, women and child ren. But it buffalo is rarely seen in the Canadian Northwest now. Only a few stragglers have been met with in tho far West this sea** son. The railroad has driven them away forever. They Have not gone north, as the limit of their natural hahitatiou is 60° north latitude on thi9 continent, bat southwest.— There are some peculiarities in the habits of the buffalo. He is, per haps, the only animal that turns his bead to the storm, his forequar ters being protected with long, shaggy hair, which also gives him a formidable appearance, and es pecially in the spring whon he nheds tho hair on the rest of bis body. A very old one is hard to find anywhere, as the young bucks drive tho old bulls out of the herd, and they wander about tho prairie and soon get killed. If ono or two should be sten alone they may bo put down as outcasts. Maternal Influence. Ex Governor Briggs, of Mas sachusetts, once related the follow ing incident; After reading with great interest the letters of John Quincy Adams’ mother, he one day went over to his seat in Con gress and said to him, “Mr. Adams, I have found out who made yon." "What do you mean?” said he. "I have been reading tho letters of your toothor," was his reply. With a flashing eyo and glowing face he started up, and in bis |>e- culiar snd emphatic manner bo said, “Yes, Mr. Briggs, all that is good in me I owo to my mother.” Speaking of the tclephouo paU ent, the Electrician says: "The value of this patent is enormous, and we very much doubt if it could be purchased for $26,000,000, It is probably by far the most valua ble single patent which has ever been issued.” By six qualities may a fool be known—anger without cause, speech without profit, change with out motive, inquiry without an object, putting trust In a stranger, and wanting capacity to disorimi* nate between a friend and a foe.
