THE HEALTHY KiSS. At the fifteenth annual convention of the Pennsylvania Homeopathic Medical Society, held at Wevnorsville, Pa., Dr William F. Snow, secretary of the American Social Hygiene Association, gave this recipe for kissing: Cut out a square of tissue paper. Subject it to a bath in a sanitary solution. Place over the mouth. Then: KISS. But don’t wear out the paper or break, through. These precautions, Dr Snow said, would make kissing safe. ■ A LEGLESS WONDER. Although Ben' Schmidke was deprived of the use of his legs early in

life, by disease, he has paid no attention to the serious handicap. Pie is the owner of a clover huller and engine, and operates the engine, getting round with the agility ot a squirrel. His method cf locomoton is on his hands and knees. When he wishes to jump Irom any ordinary height, he goes head first, alighting on his hands. Baskets and buckets he carries by placing the pail in his teeth. He owns good horses and takes care cf them himself. Schmidke scornfc charity and is always cheerful.
