In Newcastle, England, the Mayor enjoys the privilege of once a year be- ing allowed to 'select and kiss any young woman who takes his fancy among the coal city’s inhabitants. The kiss is rather costly, however, for it is the custom to present the young per- son kissed with a soverelgn ($5), while a | further gift {s made her by the lady Mayoress, no doubt to disprove jeal- ousy. The Sheriff, not to be outdone, also bestows a kiss upon a fair by- stander, at the same rate of expendi- ture. The occasion is known as Barge day, when the Mayor and corporation proceed in a procession of four gayly decorated steamers and two old stake barges to claim the soil of the river Their journey over, the Mayor stands upon the boundary stone, and it is here that the kissing is indulged in.— Exchange. ————— Marylander Grows Seedless Grapes. George B. Snively, a horticulturist, of in producing a seedless grape. He hopes to be able to grow the new grape to a large size. Several years ago he began grafting various varieties of grapes with a definite end in view and this year one vine, which is well developed, has a number of bunches of grapes on it which are without seeds. The vine also bears | that the vine has borne fruit the num- ber of seedless bunches has steadily increased and Mr. Snively believes that ultimately the grapes will all be with- out seeds. The seedless grapes, while smaller in size than the ones contain- ing seeds, are of superior flaver.—Balti- more Sun. —_— An Independent Dresser. Countess Cassini, nlece of the Russian Embassador to this country, persistent. ly refuses to adopt the short walking skirts which have come into a consider- able degree of favor of late. So far from taking to the “trotters,” as they | are called, the sprightly Russian has amazed even the ultrafashionable by the length of her trains and the great size of her hats. Picture hats worn by American matrons pale to insigni- ficance beside the enormous headgear of the Czar's piquant subject. Their trailing frocks look like walking skirts alongside the stupendous trains of the Countess. One of her favorite com- | binations is a purple gown, with a black hat so large that one wonders how she balances it on her vivacious head. An- |other of her striking hats is a big plaque of green straw, adorned with | a wreath of jonquils.—Chicago Chron- icle. | one; WIT AND HUMOR GLEANED FROM MANY SOURCES Spendthrift Son—Father, do you want | me to go through college?
