It's a hard job to get the average voter excited over Constitu- Mons. Nobody reads them any more. People have a vague sense that the documents are there and that when the question of tinker- fing them arises the political highbrows must either do it them selves or keep ghe scalawags from going too far. ' But that a Constitution is a sacred guarantee of liberty and law Ro be read and remembered by all, no word of which is to be changed gave efter close and conscientious acrutiny on the part of every man swt lives under it, is an ideal of our forefathers which we have noi taken the trouble to cherish. j .- How many voters hereaboute have ever read through even once | Phe Gonstitution of the State or the Charter of the City? eS One hundred and four years ago this month the Emperor | Napoleon celebrated his marriage with an Austrian Archduch- ees in the great Cathedral of Notre Dame. ‘The basement of New York City Hall was good enough | for his greatgrandnephew, Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte of Washington, D.

WHOLESALE terminal market in each borough upon the water front, so placed that railroads and retail dealers can get at it, the same to be equipped with retail annexes, banks, pest-offices, restaurants and other adjuncts, making each market a complete commanity in itself, is the suggestion of the Market Com- mission eppointed by the late Mayor Gaynor, which is composed of Oyrus ©. Miller, former Borough President of the Bronx, Mayor ‘Mitchel and George McAneny, President of the Board of Aldermen. »eIn Manhattan the Commission would locate a marketing centre An the vicinity of the West Washington and Gansevoort Markets. trolley freight line can be operated to run around the water front onto the piers to carry foodstuffs from steamehips to the mar- ” the report points out. “This can be done at night and thus the piere and streets for the handling of general merchandise the day. In this way the capacity of the piers and streets doubled.” That using trolley lines at night for transporting foodstuffs effect great saving has long been plain. Suburban trolley might co-operate in the same direction to their own profit as as to that of farmers and consumers. {The plan recommended by the Commission makes an appeal to railroads amd the retail merchants.

A kiss, my Bon, may be many thinge—e benediction or an insult, a sacrament or a sacrilege, a duty or a delight, a symbol or a sin. It is the seal of love or its sepulchre, the beginning or the end. Behold, a woman WORTH kissing is a creature of delicate instinets, wore fragile than cloisonne and finer than cobwebs. But the gentle art of kissing is one that cannot be cultivated. For lo!. there are many seasoned heartbreakers who have never ae [quired it, and there are boys of twenty who are grace of heaven. Yea, one man shall kiss a woman and when he departeth she shall ~ feel that he hath bestowed a blessing upon her, and andther ehall take a kiss from her and she shall cry out and revile him as though he had takes her jewels. * I charge thee assume not that a damsel CANNOT be kissed, neither that she can be kissed EASILY, For in the first thou crownest her with a halo, unto which she will cling desperately, and though it breaketh her heart she will prove thee RIGHT. And in the second thou cheapenest her, and she will cover thee with scorn and contumely that she may prove thee WRONG. Lo! he that kisseth a damsel without first telling her that he LOVETH her is as a woman that luncheth at the “demonstrating” counter upom ntimental artists, by the But he that kisseth EACH woman as though he never had kissed before and never should kiss again is an EXPERT, and bis name esball be cherished secretly among the damsels of the land. For when thou sittest down to the feast dost thou not ALWAYS feel as though thou hadst never eaten before and never shouldst eat again? Why then, because thou hast dined well yesterday, shalt thou not loo® forward with eagerness and joy unto dinner to-morrow? And why, because thou hast loved well last Spring, shalt thou net ! love without kisses 1s as alluring as pudding without sauee; but kisses without love are as deadly and disenchanting as the ora Verily, verily, the fine art of kissing {s one that requireth not practice, And how shall I teach thce its meaning, my Son?
