EXTINCTION OF THE KISS.
In tho intorvnl between the morning
and afternoon sessions of the Stock Ex
change the spectators and operators sat
-fa tho broker’s office studying the ques
tions as they had been marked up on the
blackboard by a junior clerk. They spoko
but little. Some wero making mental
calculations, some were bililding air
■castles, a few were hugging themselves
■with delight because fortune was in their
favor, and others looked grim and en
deavored to conceal their chagrin and
regrets at losses by the operations of the
morning. -Not a few were wrestling
•with Bassanio’s problem, considering
■whether another arrow would discover
that already lost. In gambling tho hope
that another fling at fortune will bring
her down never fades. But those who
gamble daily recognize that such reason
ing is not sound, and where, as in Wall
atreot, all the investments are based upon
theorizing as to cause and effect, some
thing more than unreasoning faith in
fortune’s favor is necessary to open tho
purso strings of its followers. Tlieso men
wero veterans, and tho gambler's passion
was subordinated to cold calculations.
An old but gay and sprightly man
came upon tho scene. Ho wnB the pro
prietor of tho office, a big broker, widely
known and very popular. Ho was ro-
puted to bo tho possessor of great wealth.
Upon his favor depended tho fortunes of
some of the men in the chairs. Should
ho withdraw it at a critical moment they
might sink out of sight overwhelmed by
Tuin, wrecks to bo pointed out by tho
curious in after days as somo of the “has
boons” of Wall street. He addressed them
■on tho subject of gold shipments, argu
ing from his own view points as to their
effects upon the prosperity of the com
munity. Ho had the manners and voico
of a stump speakor. He intorlarded his
tomarks with jokes and reminiscences
* *nd talked volubly. A handsome gray
haired man, with smooth face and erect
figure, watched him and tho others close
ly. When tho broker had finished and
disappeared into ills privato office, this
man said quietly to tho friend, a visitor,
who sat beside him:
“I know now just about how all of
theso men stand. Did you observe them
while Jones was talking? Did you no
tice how somo of thorn laughed loudly at
his jokos, while others only smiled, and
still others remained impassive? Did you
see how thoso who laughed loudest strove
to catch his eyo, aB though to say: ‘See
mo; I appreciate your humor; I am im
pressed with your remarks.-. The others
here may not follow you, but I am all
cars.’ And the meaning of all that is
that they want to curry favor with him
and win his personal good will, so os to
bank ngainst it should they need his
financial assistance.
“I always pay attention to the crowd
when he talks, for by observing them I
can tell how much margin each is trad
ing on. The man who laughs loudest
and is most obsequious is very close to
sinking. Ho fears he may go under any
moment, and his laughter is a desperate
appeal to save him. It rings in my ears
like ihe cry of tho drowning wretch who
yells: ‘Save mei Save mol’ I can al
most see him struggling in the waves
and tearing his finger nails on the glassy
sides of tho rocks against which he is
dashed in his attempts to pull himself
into safety. Every time that man roars
at one of Jones’ jokes, and holds his
sides as though they would split, I feel a
throb of sympathy for him, for I know
his o»se is very desperate. The man who
laughs moderately, looks knowing and
has a fairly contented expression has a
fair margin up and feels safe. But the
man who looks at Jones with an air of
indifference or has the courage to frown
upon him is tho object of my deepest
envy. That man repoBes on a financial
rock so high and solid that an earth
quake would recoil from it. And, de
pend upon it, every other man in this
place envies him too. If they dared, they
would stroke his coat and rub shoulders
with him in tho hope of gaining luck
thereby.
“I will never forget the sensation
caused once by a man getting up here
and calling Jones loudly by his firs,
name. That ‘William’ still rings in my
ears. There was dead silence for fully a
minnte after it had been uttered. Every
one of us expected to see the raBh man
struck by a thunderbolt or consumed by
the withering scorn of Jones’ lightning
glance. I felt my blood congeal with
horror, and several of the others told me
afterword that they looked for some
thing awful. But Jones looked as sweet
as an angel, and we all could have wor
shiped the daring one on the spot. He
received a dozen invitations to drink
within 10 minutes and was overwhelmed
with offers of cigars. His margin, 1 after
ward discovered, was 10 per cent. There
is a report that another man called Jones
Bill some years ago, but I don’t believe
It. If anybody did that, it was an out
rider. No customer with a proper con
sideration of the possibilities of the fu
ture could so far forget himself, even
though his immediate conditions were
most prosperous."—New York Sun.
A HISTORICAL
Sanitary Stiiruce lavn<M»R the Sacred
Realm of Romantic Sentiment-.
The kiss of affection and romantic
love is celebrated in t-hb song and
story of ull ages. Sacred literature
justifies and honors the holy kiss of
religious sympathy and fellowship.
The meeting of the lips has always
been with our race the universal and
natural and spontaneous expression
of the most teuder sentiment.
Now sanitary seieuce pusheB itself
forward to degrade tho kiss to the
level of sewer gas and the many
agencies by which noxious and infec
tious disease is propagated. It is de
manding the abolition of the practice
as a remnant of barbarous ignorance
of tho laws of health. It would subor
dinate romantic sentiment to cautious
prudence and forbid the lover to cm
brace his sweetheart, even as a seal
of their betrothal, until they are able
to produce medical certificates that
they are free from the transmissible
germs of disease.
For several years past prudent par
ents, under the instruction of their
physicians, have guarded their young
children jealously against the indis
criminate kissing which was once in
vogue, lest those poisonous germs be
transmitted to the babies. It is a
reasonable precaution, for undoubted
ly the danger exists, and us the germ
theory of disease is more generally
accepted peril of such contact is ap
predated the more intelligently.
If, then, there is a serious risk for
children in careless kissing, say the
preachers of sanitary science, it is a
risk which older people must avoid
also. Even the cherry rod and pout
ing lips of beauty may convey mate
rial poison along with the rapture of
love they express so romantically
The most ardent manifestation of
masculine devotion may be the
means of -planting the seeds of dis
easo which will bring forth a fruit
ful crop of maladies sent down
through generations. So says science.
TWELVE SWORDSMEN SLAIN BY ONE
MAN BEFORE AN ARMY.
A Scene More Exciting Tlinn Any Battle
In the Annals of Modern Hlutory—Two
Great Armies a* Witnesses of tl*e Terri*
ble Work of One Sword.
To give an idea of what a bravo man
can do if he knows fencing thoroughly
and but keeps cool and collected in dan
ger, we will relate a historical duel. So
extraordinary is this combat that it
would be held a romance had it not been
witnessed by a whole army. The hero
is Jean Louis, one of thtr great mastors
of the beginning of this century, and
the duel happened in Madrid in 1818.
Ho was tho inaster-at-urms of the Thir
ty-second regiment of French infantry.
The First regimeut, composed entirely
of Italians, formed part of'the same bri
gade.
Regimental esprit do corps and rival
ries of nationality caused constant quar
rels. when swords were often whipped
out or bullets exchanged. After a small
battle had occurred in the streets of
Madrid, in which over 200 French and
Italian soldiers had taken part, the offi
cers of the two regiments, in a council
of war assembled 1 , decided to give such
breachos of order a great blow and to re
establish discipline. They decreed that
the master-at-arms of the two regiments
should take up tho quarrel and fight it
out.
Imagine a whole army in battle array
on one of tho large plains that surround
Madrid. In tho center a largo ring is
left opon for the contestants. This spot
Is raised above tho plain so that not one
of tho spectators of this tragic scone—
gayly dressed officers, soldiers in lino.
Spaniards, excited as never a hull figlil
excited them—will miss one phase of the
contest. It is beforo 10,000 men that tho
honor of an army is about to be avenged
in tho blood of 80 bravo men.
Tho drum is hoard. Two men, naked
to tho waist, step in tho ring. Tho first

A HYPNOTIC IMPOSTER.
1 —TT—a
An Engll.limnn Who Cmild Do Many Thing*
For Teacher* or Hypnotism.
Tho subject who came to me had been
a shining light in the profession, and I
have reason to know that ho was ex
ceptionally gifted. He had performed to
crowded houses under soveral great
artists at the Aquarium, and elsewhere
in London and the provinces. Ho had
figured at seloct seances of scientific hyp
notists. He had been privately operated
on by medical men anxiously soeking
after truth. And, by his own statement,
he had humbugged them all. What
proof had 1, thou, that ho was not hum
bugging me? Ample proof. Ho offered,
in the first place, to do under my direc
tion everything which he had done in
public and privnte seances when under
supposed hypnotic control. I contem
plated, in tho first instance, accepting
this offer and giving a demonstration to
a select circle, and it was solely owing tc
myself that this was not done.
As a preliminary, I asked him to ex
hibit a few of his powers for my private
edification. He complied without hesita
tion. He firtlt of all passed himself into
tho “cataleptic” state and lay on tho
floor rigid. Two members of my staff
took him in this condition and laid him
across tho backs of two cliuira—tho back
of his head resting on one and his heels
on the other.' He remained so for several
minutes. On a lines being made over
him with the hand, his body became
arched upward or downward. Two
fairly robust individuals next sat on his
body, and the “cataleptic” supported
them without sighs of inconvenience.
He then himself thrust a needle into his
arm and through tho lobe of his ear. to
prove that he was insensible to pain while
in tho cataleptic state.
Next he showed how one side of his
face could be drawn down by toothache
(“suggested” by the operator), while the
ether side was distended in a broad grin.
Again, at tho “suggestion” of tho oper
ator. the grin and the toothache changed
sides, and so on. Ho offered to swallow
an ounce of cayenne pepper in a glass of
water, but unfortunately 1 had no cay
enne pepper at hand. I asked him
whether he could tako a wineglussful of
ipecacuanha, and ho professed readiness
to do it at once The cayenne pepper 1
could partly understand. It would ho
u mere question of standing a certain
amount of pain. But 1 asked him how
he managed to control the effect of the
ipecacuanha. “Wo only do it for a
time.” he said. “You can learn to do it
with practice, like the rest of the tricks
But wo always bring the stuff up after
the performance.”
lie also expressed his readiness to
drink oil. Among novel tricks which
he offered to perform was that of “slow
ing” the pulse while under hypnotic influ
ence. Of this he claimed to bo tho orig
inal inventor. I asked him whether all
the “subjects" wero equal imposters.
“All," he said. He know them all per
sonally and would answer for them. He
ridiculed the mere suggestion that there
could be anything genuine in hypnotism,
whether in Paris, London or anywhere
else, but here he may have spokon be
yond his knowledge.—London Truth.
