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.” Speaking of Kisses- There is a better market for kiss es in Rochester than iu A young woman has just recovered i verdict of S4OO against a man in the former city who had kissed her against her will.whiie tie Brook lyu woman who sued a man for a similar offense secured !the convic tion of the guilty man and his sen tance to pay a fine of SIOO.

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 HUSTLc R of Rm „J Fill LED. 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.

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.” — Washington Post. 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. [ A EABY'S TOILET |l 4 T g not complete jj,_.
