COST OF A KISS.
He Had to Start Over Again for
Merely Asking one.
The Police Court reports in the
London papers sometimes quote
the price of a kiss, which usually
ranges from half a crown to half a
sovereign, according to the tem
perament of the Magistrate. How
ridiculously cheap this is, will be
seen from the following account of
the cost of merely asking for a kiss,
which has been sent to me from
India.
“Probably you will hardly cred
it the story, but it is quite true,
and, though the names are with
held by the Allahabad paper which
gives the facts, the parties are well
known. An officer of the Madras
Medical Service was h< Iding o; e
of the most, desirable civil surgeon
cies in the province, and there re
ceived a visit from a civilian and
his wife. While driving with the
lady in a dogcart, the doctor ask
ed her for a kiss.
It was very wrong, especially as
there was a native servant sitting
behind the couple, and he met
with the stern repulse which his
impudence and imprudence ii v t
ed. This exemplary woman after
ward wrote to the doctor that she
had told her husband of his con
duct,
“The doctor then wrote an a' -
ject apology, which the husband
submitted to the Madras Govern
naent. Without being allowed to
say a word on his own behalf, the
doctor was forthwith officially ad
vised to resign the service to avoid
dismissal.
Since then the Madras Govern
ment has been induced to modify
its decision. The offender is gra
ciously permitted to serve the fur
ther nine months necessary to
qualify him for the lowest scale of
pension, but he has been transfer
red from his civil surgeoncy back
to military service and packed off
to a remote station in Upper Bur
ma h.”

What is Forbidden Fruit?
Many are the attempts to iden
tify the forbidden fruit. Some say
it was the fig, others the
grape, others again the pomegran
ate ; but the most ‘ Arabian Night
ish” description paints it as an
ear of wheat, which looked like a
ruby and was as big as an ostrich
egg, and grew on a tree whose
trunk was like gold, its branches
like silver, and its leavesemeraled.
Our parents were expelled about
8 o’clock of the afternoon of Fri
day, the 10th of May, having re
sided in Eden seven years, two
months, two weeks and three days.
Adam was banished to Ceylon and
Eve to Mecca, and they remained
apart for 200years. Adam, accord
ing to some accounts, spent halt
his time weeping, with his face to
the earth ; others, less charitable
aver that his solitude was cheer- d
with Lilith, who resumed her form
er relations with him.
When he repented and rejoined
Eve, he begged that something
might be given him from the hap
py garden of innocence which he
had forfeited, and lo l in answer
to his prayer, three mighty arch
angels were sent to him —Micheal
bringing gold; Gabriel, frankin
cense, and raphael, myrrh—mys
tic gifts, in after years associated
with the offering of the Magi,
whom early Christian tradition
I identified with Enoch, Melchise
dek and Elias.

The Geometer's
ling Bridal
‘■See that couple r» o
seat?’’ inquired the conductcv ofjß
Georgetown cable car to a Post re- I
porter. The reporter nodded in the »
affirmative and the conductor con- >
tinned:
Bride and groom; third pair of
’em I’ve carried to-day.”
“Can you distinguish newly
married people every time?” ask
ed the reporter.
“Can I?” repeated the conduc
tor, staighteniug himself up ami
assuming a sort of know-it-all air;
“yes; I can spot ’em quicker than
lean a .ounterfeit nick'e. Don’t
know why it is, but somehow they
always give theirselves away. They
didn’t appear to know how to act,
look sheepish like, and stare at the
buildings in a manner that shows

Every couplethat is married with
in 50 miles of Washington comes
here ou a weddin’ trip, you kuow.
Yes. sir ;I can teli’em every time,”
and the ticket taker nodded his
head in a knowing manner.
About this time the car stopped
at Tint taei t saeet an 1 the avenue
io take on a very pretty young la
dy, who seated herself immediate
ly behind the supposed bride and
groom. Hardly had the car started
again before the young lady recog
nized the alleged bride as an old
friend, and, leaning forward, said
to her:
“Why, how do you do? I haven’t
seen you for a long time.”
The lady who had been picked
out for a bride g.e el her friend
cordially, and then turning to her
companion, the groom, said:
“Let me introduce my brother,
Mr. —, from Richmond.”
The reporter and two gentlemen
seated near began to laugh, and
the conductor was apparently con
siderably annoyed.
“Os course, any fellow is liable
to miss it sometimes,” he hasten
ed to explain, as he swung himself
back to the rear platform of the
car. When the car stopped at the
Treasury Building, one of the gen
tlemen who heard the conversation
increased the discomfiture of the
conductor by yelling, as he jump
ed off the car •
“Good-by, conductor; take good
care of your bride and groom.” —

A Cure for Love.
A Louisville girl has discovered
a novel panacea for a broken heart,
which common humanity demands
should be given widespread circu
lation at once for the benefit of a
suffering world.
The story was overheard in that
queer but popular public confes
sional, a street car. The clever
creature said to the other girl:
“Oh, Louise, I felt perfectly dread
ful all day yesterday. Harry ana I
have fallen out, and w'e are both
so obstinate that we never will
make up—never! My life is a per
fect wreck.
“I cried until I couldn’t cry any
more, and was just desperate to
know what to do with myself, when
suddenly I heard a hand organ
out in the street—the first of the
season. 1 rushed out and brought
the man into the parlor —monkey
and all —ami kept him there all the
afternoon.
“The antics of that monkey near
ly killed me. Os course, it nearly
ruined me financially, but, good
ness! when one has a broken heart
something has to be done.
