Kissing, een I When indulged in by the a sexes, pro- vid existing condi- tions are compatible, brings ecstacy sublime ; but too often the har- mony of this heavenly rapture is marred, even destroyed, by the dis- cordance that results when the breath of one is obnoxious to the other, — perhaps wreek- ing foul from mouth and gums _ unhealthy and unclean, or teeth decayed and filthy,— then is this divine source of greatest joy and bliss transformed to one conducive to aver- sion and disgust. that many divorces have found in this = pri- mary cause, or that to it is dire attributable the failure of number- less disconsolate indi- viduals to find a genial partner to comfort them through life?

The Naval Cadets Deprived of Their Means of Practical Instruction. | The Naval Academy is confronted with a seri- ‘ous condition of affairs involving the most im- portant branch of instruction at the school, and | | there seems to be not even a remote chance of remedy for at leasta year. For the first time since the academy was founded the cadets are | without « practice ship of any description, and at present there is not a vessel in the navy suit- able for that purpose that could be detailed for the duty. Such a condition of affairs was never known before in the history of the academy and is greatly deplored by the officers of the academy and by the officers on duty at the Navy Department, as it means that the class which graduates next year will be deprived of SR ar aE ry fea on a two years’ sion in the course of practical exercises in seamanship, drills evolutions. When the old obsolete steamer Wyoming was condemned a year ago and ordered to the naval funeral pyre the corvette Ent was detached trom regular service ‘and sent to the academy for use as the cadets’ ractice ship. She was in every way fitted for purpose, but after one year's service she ‘Was, at the request of the state authorities of Massachusetts, turned over to that state for re- and is not world’s to this country until late 7. As a result of the loss terprise the cruises which are the bay in the autumn andearly will have to be abandoned this yoar, as it is not practicable to use a sailing vessel for the pur- ote even if one was available. It has been the Custom to have a steamer for this duty, as it is g.didicalt matter to manenver s siling vessel Uke the Constellation in and out of the harbor, and besides abe does not afford the proper facil” fae ities for great gun drills and ordnance prac- tice. ‘te this reason the loss of the En is felt more seriously than that of the Constellation. The new practice vessel is not yet completed, but may be in time to take the cadets on their next summer or should che not be completed by that time the Constellation can be used probably, aa she wil! huve returned by next summer. Unless some ship is sent to Annapolis, and naval officers say there is not one that cat be used for that p , the practical instruction in for the whole academic year to all the cadets will be missed. ‘This also result in sending the next third claws to sea on the sume footing, so far as practical knowledge of seamanship is concerned, as the cluss that will enter the academy a year behind them. - a A Model of St. Thomas Island. There will be sent to the exposition at Chi- cago ® most beautiful model of the Island of St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, which is thought by some may be a future naval and coaling station for vessels of the United States. It is now being constructed in that island by Dr. Charles E. Taylor and his son Clarence, is about eight feet by four, built toa scale of ‘six inches to the mile, and will be painted in natural colors, showing the roads, country houses, ships and steamers in the harbor, and the pretty town of Charlotte Am: lia, with its two old legendary towers of Bla: beard and Bluebeard. It will be set into a table enameled in black, edged with gold, with terra cotta paintings by Mr. Clarence Taylor of varions spots of interest on the island. ‘The whole be covered with plate glass. coaveananar bess sa A New Light Honse Tender. ‘The light house tender Maple was successfully launced at Elizabethport, R.

There was silence in the menagerie. The birds had ceased their warbling; the parrots had hushed their idle chatter, and the monkeys, tired of their gyrations, had curled up and gone to sleep. All of a sudden there was a tiny squeak on top of the rabbit cage, and the keeper touched the reporter on the arm and moved on tip toe to where the box rested from which the tiny squeak came. ‘The box was of the ordinary variety, covered over with heavy wire netting of small mesh, Inside all wns derk and the reporter was abont to ask what it was used for, when a sound like the singing of a whole colony of locusts ome fren fis eyo. eo “It’s a bi rattlesnake,” waid the keeper as he turned up the gas. The light put his snake- ship in a bad humor, for he dropped the mouse he had just caught and prepared to strike, curling in a moment and ratiling vi iy. “When stretched his full length,” said the keeper, “‘he measures about nine fee@ He is a dandy; the largest I ever saw, and his record isa bad one. He came lly from Montana, and spent the first year of his captiv- ity with acireus. Then he fell into the hands of aside showman. One day, while exhibiting him at a fair, a countryman suggested that the snake was dead. The showman to satisfy him offered a purse of $5 to any one putting their hand in the box. The lad from the plow thought he would win that ‘William,’ aa they call billsof that denomination, and opened the door and patted his snakoshi on the head. He won the $5. Not satis and desiring to impross the crowd he lifted the big fellow out. Instantly he was struck on the fleshy part of the hand, and before medical as- sistance could be’ summoned he was dead. Well, the snake was recaptured and the next day struck his keeper. It diin't kill him, however, for he filled up with bad whisky and the pofson was counteracted. You would be astonished at his appetite. Why, It costa more to feed him than ft doce a horse. In the first place he will not entanything unle it is alive, and I feed him on rabbits, sparrows, Pigeons and mice. Hats he won't touch. Would you like to see him fed?" The reporter eaid yes, and the keeper went to the pigeon cage and took ont a big blue n that had been strutting about, remarking: “You have been trring to impress the rest of these pigeons with your greatness. Now I'll show you how insignificant vou are.” The poor bird uttered and struggled to get away, but it was no use. Agninst the rattlesnake he was pushed and it startled the big fellow. Up went his head, broud and gat, his eyes distended and his Jaws spread out MBeach side, A moment, and with the precision of a marksman ho struck the pigeon back of the neck and all was over. “He was pretty hungry,” said the keeper. “Usually he takes bis time and charms the bird before striking. When I put a rabbit or gainea pig in thorp he is happy. It is his favorite food. “Thear steam escaping somewhere, reporter, as that peculiar hissing n: the silence. “That's not steam,” said the attendant, “it's the man-eating alligator snoring.

He measures fonrteen feet and one ever captured alive. Aton denizen of the St. John’s river in Florida. cently he ate up'a little colored boy playing on the bank of the river. Mr. formerly of this city, decided upon a capture, and while tho big fellow slept he was lassocd and pulled ashore. It took « team of four horses to do the work. A letter describing the captare says the alligator made a lively fight, breaking a man’s leg in the scrimmage. Just then the alligator woke up and yawned, His mouth opened gradually, showing « fine set of molars. The attendant pushed a stick in the cage and took the diameter of bis mouth, It ed twenty-three inches. While these animals are very instructive ther are not near so scarce as the lion-faced monkey. “In the monkey room this little fellow is king. He can make more noise than any two of the others and attracts considerable attention. In appearance he is a perfect counterpart of a lion on asmall scale. This is the most interesting of the monkey family and are very rare.” —————— The Florist: hibition.

One of the most fingrant cases of attempted swindling that has ever been tried at a trotting meeting in this vicinity was exposed yesterday at Point Breeze, near Philadelphia, by the | death on the track of a “doctored” horse. Two heats in the 2.22 pacing class were trotted Tues- ay, and the gelding Grover S., the property of Wm. Shanley, the proprietor of the Lewis House at Binghamton, N. Y., was a hot favorite in the betting. Grover S. won one heat Tuesday and captured the first heat paced yesterday, placing two to his credit. When the horses went away from the pole for the second heat yesterday afternoon Grover 8. had noarty reached the (fret quarter when be jenly fell, and when ¢! Place where fe lay the anal we dead Suspicion was immediately directed to Shan- ley and Joseph A. Lymon, the driver of the horse. Both men denied having given the horee anything, but a veterinarian who was Present made aburried antopsy of the animal's stomach and found traces of poison. After a | brief consultation the judges expelied Shanley | and Lymon from the ‘tracks of the association roFfll Hollister, rod ollister, a produce dealer of Bi - ton, and a friend of Shanley's, wie abe on. | led as an accessory. If Grover S. had only een stupefied by the drug instead of being Keilled and had lost the heut, Shanley and bis | friends would have won between $4.00 and 24,500. Tho unfinished second division of the | 2.29 trotting class was won by Kitty Frazier | and the 2.35 class was unfinish: ee The Storm In Colorado. ‘The snow, rain and sleet storm which set in | in Colorado Tuesday night added a heavy wind to its variety yesterday, and all day jong | an unprecedented storm prevailed. From what | meager reports that can be obtrined from | points tn the tate it is shown that the storm is general in Colorado and also in parts of Utub. | All communication by telegraph to towns in Colorado hat become entirely interrupted. In Denver signs were blown down, cornices: torn off and hundreds of trees were either up- rooted of split by the wind. Several persons were hit by flying objects, but so far as has been learned no fatalities have occurred. Probably the greatest damage was done by fall- | ing eleciric light and street car trolley wires, for at least a dozen horses were killed by being struck by these live wires. As the animals were being driven at the time of their being | shocked to death, it will be seen that their drivers were in imminent danger of meeting the same fate. As a consequence of the breaking of these wires the electric cars on many of the lines are at a standstill. =i Implicated in the Alexandria Robbery. John A. Brice was arrested yesterday by De- tectives Hall and Hagan in Baltimore, while trying to negotiate with Henry Pike, « railroad ticket broker. for the sale of $5,000 worth of tickets over the Richmond and Danville and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. Seven tickets for distant southern points were found on him. The Richmond and Danville ticket office at Alexandria was robbed Sunday night of a large number of tickets, Brice hax an accomplice, whg is thotight to have the stolen tickets.
