Those who think the French are romantic are due for a shock from Prof. Edouard Malespine. He is conducting a scientific analysis of the kiss. That sometimes delightful indoor sport wasn't relished a bit by our soldiers when they suffered French generals to osculate their cheeks in exchange for a trifle; of metal and a bit of ribbon. But the | women--Canadian, French, English, Irish, Esquimayx--the women like it. No photographs are published with the news despatches concerning Prof. Malespine, so it is hard to say whether he has many subjects in his laboratory. But certainly he has com- piled some important looking statis- tics. One of the things the profes- sor wants to determine is the horse- power of the average kiss. Yes, he puts it just that way -- the horse- power, Most folk thought science had gone far enough in insisting on the hygienic kiss. But horse-power! As well measure the current in the electric shock the first kiss gives, or compute the miles that every moonbeam or a summer's night has travelled ere it shines upon a pair of lovers. "Kissing remains in the last ana- lysis plain, barbarous nature," the professor declares. Well, let it go at that. If kissing is barbarous, who would be civilized? ------ MANLY PULCHRITUDE. Women have become accustomed to the charge that they ar spoiling their beauty, either by phint and powder, or by strenuous ercise, which is destroying their roundness and softness of the feminine con- tour. * They have heard these things 80 often they have become {ndiffer- ent to them and keep right on deco- rating themselves in whatever way fancy dictates. But men have been indifferent to mere facial beauty, the general op- inion being that they have no time for such a trivial consideration; and this indifference has been increased perhaps by a tradition that the ug- lier a man is the more he appeals to womankind--perhaps through their pity. So it must be a rude awakening for men to learn that in the opinion of one of the best known clergymen of England, Dean Inge of St. Paul's cathedral, the degeneration of tha male countenance is such as to cause alarm. The dean asks what is the matter with the faces of our men to-day, and he adds that they seem more at home among the pigmies. He compares the countenance of the leading men of to-day with the "magnificent countenances" of the Victorians. ' Of course there have been men to come to the defence of the mas- culine pulchritude of to-day, but so far the dean seems to be having the best of the argument, THE AMERICAN CAMPAIGN. The campaign in the United States reminds one of those wrestNng mat- ches in which many minutes of time are occupied by the contestants in circling warily round one-another looking for a good hold. None of the three participants has yet ex posed himself by reaching for a ho'd on an opponent, and none of them Seems in the least anxious to do so. It is quite conceivable that the date of the election will find them still circling round, though it is more probable that the strain of the pro- cess will provoke one or two of them into some unguarded( gesture whica will be taken advantage of by the third. The sudden prosperity of the ag- ricultural sections gtves added strength to LaFollette, for the far- mer is never so conscious of his grievances and so determined 'to enforce them as when he has money and ' leisure. This strength fis drawn mainly from that of the ap- parently stronger of the other two candidates, the Republican, and makes the issue more than ever un- certain, But it is the least alarm- ing uncertainty that has prevailed in an American election for many 4 quadrennium. Mr. Coolidge is as respectable as Mr. Davis, and Mr. Davis is as equable and comserva- tive as Mr. Coolidge, and the Ame- rican business man is playing golt|. with the calm of one who knows that the world fs in good hands. About & month before the election, Just for the sake of the excitement, he will probably pretend to discover that there is a serious risk of Mr. LaFollette being elected; but the securities sold under the influence of that emotion will be bought back 7 § 2 THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG share to the reward of capital and of speculation. In spite of many superficial think- ers, it is not always an economic vir- tue to "put money into circulation." In times of extravagance and high profits and excessive activity it is more likely to be a vice. But if there is a time when it is likely to be a virtue, it is when a substantial number of workers who are willing to. work are unable to obtain em- ployment. And at such times economic vir- tue begins at home. If one has a hundred dollars which might be left in the bank, or might be spent in a motor tour in a foreign country, or might be exchanged for a piece of luxury mechanism largely if not en- tirely - made in a foreign country, or lastly might be spent in hiring an unemployed fellow-citizsen to make over and improve one's garden --- there is no question which is the more virtuous expenditure, and there is little question that (if we caa afford it) it is better to make over the garden than tosleave the money in the bank. Irregularity of employment is caused almost wholly by the varia- tions in the selling power of fairly large corporations; for their power to buy labor and raw materials' ic merely an anticipation of their fu- ture sales. This irregularity of employment can be more or less ef- fectually combatted by two means; decreases In corporation employment may be met by increases in state or public employment, and by increases in private employment., There are certain grave risks and difficulties about the extensive use of public em- ployment as a counterpoise to dimi- nishing corporation employment, and in any case no Canadian government is making any systematic effort in that direction. There remains the individual; and it happens that this is a work in which every little helps. It may not look very important in the statistics that there are oaly 99 workers idle in a given tewn in- stead of 100, but to the one worker and his family (and also to others who depend partly on his trade) the difference is incalculable. Giving employment is more diffi- cult than giving charity, but it is indefinitely kinder and more efficient. It preserves the self-respect of the beneficiary, and (which is ecoromi- cally if not spiritually important) it causes no diminution of the wealth either of the individual or of the community. In a city like Kingston there are in almost every household a number of little jobs, not very urgent perhaps, certainly not urgant enough to press for doing when la- bor is busy and hard to get, but which can advantageously be done in times of slack employment by any worker who is not imbued with that strange delusion that he must not perform any work except that of his special craft. The moncy for these jobs can be taken out of past savings, or can very often bc con- currently faved by abstaining from expenditures that bring little good to Canadian labor. \ KINGSTON IN 1851 Viewed Throwsh Our Files THE EDITOR AT THE JUBILEE. Boston, Sept. 30.--I .saw that municipal authorities of Canada were directed to attend at nine o'clock this morning at the mayor's room, thence to proceed in procession in coaches furnished by the authorities, for which purpose every hackney: carriage in Boston had been secured. Determining not to walk while others rode, and having my coronership of Kingston to fall back upon in case no carriages were provided for the press, 1 proceeded to the mayor's room, where I found members of al- most every corporation of Canada, suite and followed by municipal of- ficers called off in succession by the grand marshal. When Kingston was d Mr. Alderman McKenzie step- , followed by me, and is 5 and resol t my public perform- ance should not discredit the city, the functions of whose mayor, by a chain of untoward circumstances had de- volved upon me to execute, My three companions being younger and more excitable, were gayer and more vola- tile in their demonstrations of re- spect to the ladies. As the latter bowed, kissed their hands and waved their kerchiefs, the young men fol- lowed their kind example, and such a reciprocity of salutes--such a get- ting up stalrs--never before was wit- nessed, Somehow or other, , the ladies' eyes seemed particularly di- rected towards our coach; it may have been imagined on my part, but I felt a part of the show, been the attraction of the worthy alderman who sat on my right. ---- That Body of Pours By lames W. Berton, M.D, Your Best. A speaker sald a very significant thing recently, "The greatest enemy of the 'best' is the 'good.' " You are born with a good menta- lity, a good mind, and as you jour- ney through public and high school, perhaps through the university, you are able to get by because you have a "good" mind. If you are not a hard worker, nor ambitious you "get along" fairly well because you have this "good" mind. What you 'could do were you to Go your very best with that good mind is not for me to say. But what about that body of yours? Your folks gave you a "good" bedy. You were able to attend school regularly, to play the games of childhood and youth because your parents gave you a "good" body. You were satisfied to be on the team or one of the spares, even if you were not a star at the game. And now you are into manhood and womanhood, what about it? Oh, well, you have pretty good health, an occasional headache, a lit- tle tendency to constipation, a bit tired toward evening, but still yod bave "good" health. You are at your work every day. You go out evenings although you're a little tired the next morning. You think you can really say that you are in *'good" health. It is just here that I want to re- mind you of the words I quoted above, "The greatest enemy of the 'best' is the 'good.' If you are satisfied with just "good"health and you are young or middle aged, can't you see what you are missing when you don't try to attain your "best?™ You have a "good" bédy, a sound constitution, why not get all it can give you, that is not just your "good" but your "best." You have really no excuse for not being at your best. And falling away from thdt standard is your fault and yours only. For oné who is constitutionally sound not to attain his real "best" health is not only wrong, but actu- ally foolish... g : Why with the start you have of a "good" body, and "good" health you have hinety per cent. of the job done for you. 'Why not get that other tem per- cent, by going into the matter of the little things that are keeping you from attaining par. A little thinking on your part, perhaps a little chat with your doc- tor, and the exercise of a little will power will give you what you are entitled to--your best. BB ! July 81st. . As the Dominion of Canada grad- ually added one province after an- other to its confederation of govern- ments, it became recognized as the main British administration of Am- erica. Here and there were British- owned territories which it was deem- ed wise to place under Canadian jurisdiction to centralize governing power on this continent. For this reason there was passed an Imperial Order-in-Council, on this day in 1880 which declared that from and after tember 1st, 1880, all British ter- es and possessions in North I cannot help thinking it must have -- | | MEN'S SILK HOSE Plain Grey, Green, Brown and fancy designs. 2 Pairs for $1.00 - BIBBY'S Headquarters for « Suits Cases, Travelling Goods, Trunks, Club Bags.

BROOKS Secretary. American Meteorological Society, Tells Hew. Summer Drouths, July, and perhaps even more, Aug- ust, are subject to summer drouths; convectional rainfall is on the wane and cyclonic storms of autumn strength have not yet begun. In the continental interior, during the early summer the stock of winter moisture has been gradually used up and the air heated, to greater and greater heights, making condensation more dificult. In July and August the rainfall may be less than half the average in from 10 to 20 per cent. of all the years in the Eastern Unit- ed States. West of the Mississippi these percentages are much higher, On the Pacific coast where rain rarely falls during the summer, the "average" is gomewhat misleading. for in 80 per cent, or 90 per cent. of the seasons the rainfall is less than half the average. The frequency of drouths also has been computed for the states east of the Rockies. For purposes of tabulation a-drouth may be consider ed broken by a 1-4 inch of rain oc- curring within 24 hours. During 20 seasons, March to September, 2§ day drouths of this gort have occur- tic coast and 30 to 40 times in the Mississippi Valley. Passing west- ward to' the Great Plains drouths in- day drouths in 20 years having been recorded in western Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, and the Dakotas, or more than twice the number on the Atlan- tic coast. In the case of 30-day drouths the difference is still more marked, with over 30 such drouths plains and only 9 to 12 on the At- lantic coast in the 20 year period. Platforms and Pledges. President Coolidge has made it clear to his campaign managers and others that he means if re-elected to take the United States into the world court. He wrote the world court plank in the Cleveland plat- form, he believes in it, he is deter- mined that the promise of that plank shall be fulfilled. Mr. Davis is for it also.
