The fact that the kissing Labit furnishes an easy vehicle for the dissemination of disease germs is of itself o sufficient reason for its abandonment. Many instance have heen vited to demonstrate its dan gerous character in this regard, ard medica! men have repeatedly sound ed the warning azainst its continu ance. A little thought will empha size the point in the readers mind. I he woman who goes about kissing all her women friends and acquaint ances and their children, old or young,sick or well regardless of the condition of their blood or lungs and oblivious of the possibility that they have recently been kissed by a dozen other persons respecting whose hygienic conditions'she has 16 knéwledge can hardly plead that the practice is innocent of danger. ‘Fatal diseases may be and somes times are communicated by the im pact of the lips and the mingling of their moisture and of the breath and disorders that are less immedis ate or direful in their effects,but no less certainly to e dreaded, are more casily and often propagated by the habit. The person whom | you kiss may be entirely free from any dizease or unhealth ful condition yet her lips may car ry a.poison recently taken from those of another person. You may be yourself the innocent means of transmitting the disease germs from one to another.

But the unchallenged admission that some danger does exist has been sufficient to pracii cally substant’ate the case against the kissing habit, and the warrant for its banishment is being signed and executed by an enlightened womanhood. ' | The kissing habit has been cars ried to its greatest extreme among Englis‘mpeuking people, and peo ple ot other blood are often amazed und amused by the universality and ‘heapness ot the kiss among the Enzlish nationis, It is not necessa rilly an argument in its tavor how ever,that it is thus found to be ap | weeompainiment of the highest civilization for it may be promptly retorted that vice and crime also increase with civilization, and that even civilized and refined people often keep slive barbarious praes tices inherited trom savage ances iry. The kiss in its proper function tas a fine significance and may b made the vehicle ot the purest em» otions the honest expression of legitimate feeling a greeting full o zenuine volui tary sympathy and iove.
