Philadelphia "Progress" says: "Most any girl who is frank will toll you yrf, that most girls do swear on occasions. Their swearing is not shocking, except as all swearing is shocking, and that any bad done by the weaker sex is worso than if done by ours. Girls swear as they smoke cigarettes, when nobody in about, and because thoy think it does them good. Thj keep their swearing as a secret gratification, or no one is better satisfied than- thrim selves how badly the habit would fit them. Tho swearing of girls, such as it is, is a mere declaration of power and independence; wo can awear if wo choose, and wo swear when we want to. But they are careful, very careful, as to when and where. No girl ever swears when real angry. Then she cries. Swearing is a weapon she does not know how to use. Her swearing means noMiing. It never even goes up as high aj tlio blgD. It is all small, very small d's, and a combination of genuine oaths so mixed that all their vigor is gone. Alaska's Civil Government'. The bill providing for a civil government of Alaska has passed both branches of congress and is now ready for tho sig nature of the president. The bill pro vides that tho territory of Alaska shall constitute a civil judicial district, the temporary seat of government of which is established at SitKa. A governor shall be appointed, with authority to aee that the laws enacted froiil the dis trict are enforced, and who shall be exoflieio oommanderin chief of the militia, with power to call it out when necesfary to due execution. A district court is established, which shall hold at least two terms each year, one at Sitka and ono at Wrangel. A clerk, district attorney nnd marshal are also provided for, and authority given for tho appointment of four commissioners, with tha power and jurisdiction of rnor3 of tho United States or -I!?riLr-arthV be applicable.

Kissing, -in England, was certainly known and practiced in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and prac ticed with an easy familiarity which shows the custom was general. In deed so general was tho uso of tho kiss that it was as usual as tho bow. A gentleman taking a lady to her seat from the dance invariably kissed her, and if he had not would, have been voted a very badly-bred fellow. The litaturo of kisses is carious. Tho is a story retailed iu tho ''Broad Stcne of Honor" of an Enclish knight riding through France to the Field of the Cloth of Gold. His horse cast a shoo at a certain villago, the seigneur whereof had departed to thd same ren dezvous, but the seigneur's lady hospi tably entertained the traveler. She came out of her castle, attended by twelve damsals. fair to p - - 7 aUU, baid tho dame, "lorasmucu as in r.as land ye have such a custom as that a man may kiss a woman, therefore I will that ye shall kiss me, and ye shall also kiss all 'these my maidens." Which thing tho knight straightway did and rejoiced greatly thereat. The quantities of tho last phrase undoubt edly indicates the jciitig man's feelings the at salute with considerable exacti tude. In Africa, and other parts of the world outside the circle of civilization, kitsin" is as yet an unknown art. An African traveler once ofiored a kiss, under favorable circumstances, to a young lady of King Alumbo Jumbo's courl, but she recoiled in great alarm, absolving that she was "not jel worthy to bo eaten. The Baker City, Oregon, Reviello give the following relative to the re cent stage robbery near there, already noticed in these columns: "A posse consisting of Geo. Sally, Jacob Clark, John Lemocs and John Fur man has arrived in town nith W. S. florrell, who confesses to the crime of robbing the stage. It seems that his home is in Indian valley, and that tha man who was with him was his uncle. He seems to bo a young man, is slender and very tall, and posesied of just enough brains to enable him to an gwer every question the officers ask him. His partner escaped. Gold Hoalth. The following, interesting extract from a French periodical we copy froni "Health:" "It would be impossible td deny tho vast inflrfence wbicn1 the con dition of the teoth exercises upon tho general health and many stomach af fectionp. Dyspepsia; for instance, which is so often supposed to spring from romote causes is,- in reality; most frequently one result of swallow; ingimperfeatly masticated food. Rea umur's experiments havo long since proved that food cannot be digested unless it is properly broken up. Ho caused some sheep (o swallow tubea full of grass, saturated with saliva, but not chewed. Two days afterward, ex amination showed that this food had not undergone any digestivo change. Spallanzani still moro conclusively proved this by causing a sheep to swal low two tubes, the one full of masti cated, and the other of whole grass; The chewed grass was digested; tho' other remained uncharfged. "Tho state of tho teeth not onfy affects 6ne's bodily health, but also in fluences character. A bad conditio!! of the teeth, by tho prolong suffering it occassions, whieh are eggravated by tho most trivial causes, ends by ren dering tho disposition morose, irritable; and thenceforward inclined to soe oulj tho dark sido of ovcry thiiig; ".But if it be true that the character can be influenced by tho state of thd teeth, it is also true that tho teetli rapidly decay under the influence of overwork Two" 'English doctdtf; Messrs. -Leitherwood and Harlan, be lieve that they have noticed that thd teeth of thoso who deyoto themselves1 entirely to study undergo rapid changes, and that a period of rest; retards tho evil. They then put the further ques tion: Aro these occurrences attribu tatlo to an overexcited brain, whosa excessive stliildation makes it assimi late to itself those phosphatic elementa which would otherwise go to nourish the., teeth? Or is "Ji is decay 08Ei WVf...U - bUUDhUHt ... UMiui4a facts which have been cnlle'J' from different isolated observations, Messrs: Leitherwood and Harlan Cud them selves compelled to adroit that if tho brain bo overstimulated by work, thd excess of phosphorous which it then" consumes can only be gaintid at tho ex pense of thoso organs which require this substance for their development; as tho bones and the teeth. Ho ad vises that tho studies of children! shall bo carefully watched, and &0 regulated as to be increased Or lessened in accor dance with the condition of their teofh; Solfatara. Tho following description of tha' solfatara, or "hot earth" in tho vicini. ity of Linkville, is taken from tha "Wtst Shore": On Maj. Q. A. Brooks' land near Linkville, Klamath Co., is about ati acr of ground which is kept hot b Vapor that ascends from some mysterious' source of h"ntpy,'yT Jffst benealh tha surface this earth is too hot to hold the hand upon, and at twelvo inches form the surface in BOmd places is sends the mercury up to 205 dig.- Far enheit. Whether this heat is of ehem cal origin near the surace Or is from di rect connection with the vast molten interinr of the earth, is as yet a matter of pure speculation, but the theory of chemical derivation seems tho mora rational. How that may be,- the hot earth, which is a kind of red loam in composition, has been found to have astonishing curative properties in cases of rheumatism, lame bask, diseased and stiffened joints and many other affect ions. A number of remarkable cured are reported already, two of them be ing of acuto affections of the back. Prospective brides may bo inter ested to' learn' that there are thirty two days in the year on which it is unlucky to marry, according to tho au thority ot a manuscript dated in the Gfteenth century, lhese days are January 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 15; February 6, 7, 18; March 1, 6, 8; April G, 11; May 5, 6, 7; June 7, 15; July 5, 19; August 15, 19; September 6, 7; Oc tober 6; November 15, 16, and Decem ber 15, 16, 17.
