Kisses on Interest.

naother. It may be that you have , noticed
a timeworn lookupon her face lately. Of
"boiree, Wheel not been brought there by
any eait of yours, still it is your duty to
chaseit away. I wantyouto get up to-

when ypur mother comes and -begins to ex-
press her surprise, go right up to het and
kis e her On the moutle_Yonean't imagine
lioWiliairbriiiiten her dear,face. Besides,
.you owe lid a kiss or two. Away back,
when you were &little girl, she kissed you
•when no one else was tempted by your •
Lever -tainted breath and swollen faeee you
were not as attractive then as you
are now. And through those years of
childish sunshine • and shadows . she was
always ready to cure, by--thee.magie of a
mother's kiss, the little, dirty, chubby
bandit whenever' they were injured in those
first skirmishes with the rough old world.
And then the midnight kiss with which she
routed so many bad dreams, as she leaned
over your restless pillow, have all been on
interest•these long, long- years. Of course,
• she is not so pretty and kissable as you_areas
but if you had done your ehare of work
during the last ten years the contrast would
not be so marked. • Her face has more
• wrinkles than • yours, far more ; and yet
if you were sick that facie 'would' appear
more beautiful -than an angel's as it
hovered over • you,-: •Watching ' every
opportunity to minister to your comfort,
and every one. of those wrinkles would
• seem' to be bright wavelets of sunshine
chasing each other over the dear face. She
will leave you one of these days. These
burdens, if not lifted from her shoulders,
will break her down. These rough, hard
:hands, that have •done so naany necessary
things for you, will be crossed upon her ,
lifeless breast. Those neglected lips that
gave you your first baby kiss will be forever
closed, and those sad, tired eyes will have
opened in eternity, and then you will appre•
eiate your mother ; but it will be too late."

The feat of George Hutchins, a Borden
fireman, will bring him a medal. It was
performed at the burning of a gun store,
described the other- day by telegraph. It
was inapessilale to keep the people far from
the building although , they were told that
it contained explosives. • The, firemen
• learned juat where the stook of powder was
kept, and Hutchins volunteered to go in
after it. He climbed thrbugh a window,
got down on his knees, and crept towards
the spot to which he had been directed.
The smoke was stifling and blinding. His
hands touched -Abe huge' copper box, and

-A LEG ON A. TEAR. ,
Bow is Bahia DIaler Artificial Limb,
Acted trusemadv and Caused it. Westrn
Ruch Ansvo-Yswee•
Major. Todd, of Pangor, Me., lost ,his
right leg at the battle of Fredericksburg,
and, some time ego he purchased an artifi-
cial leg from a man in Washington. It
contained a. system of springs whicb.
enabled the major to Ws it in; stash a natu-
ral mapner , that when he was walking
along the street nobody Would for a
moment auppose that he had not both of
his owu lege.
On Sunday, while the major waft cm his
way to churoh, he slipped up on the ice and
gave the store leg a severe wrench. He
must,have dislocated some of the springs,
for after reaching the. church and taking
his seat, and while 'the oler.gyman was
reading the Soripturee, the leg Suddenly
flew up and rested on the back of the seat
In front of him. The congregation looked
at him in amazement, and he grew very
red in the face. As soon as he took it down
it jumped up again and wriggled about on
the back of the pew, finally kicking Mae.
Thonapson's bonnet to. rage. The major
suppressed it again' and held it down, but
-it instantly began a convulsive movenient
in his own pew, during which it upset the
stools, plunged around among. the hymn
books and hats, and hammered the board
beneath the seat untitit.made such a rad:
ket that the ininieter had to stop. The
-sexton came rushing itt to find out What
was the • matter, and the major, after ex-.
plaining the difficulty in a whisper, asked
the sexton to let him lean on him while he
charged on the front door. A9 soon as the
• major got into the aisle that dislocated leg
'kicked the sexton sixteen or ,seventeen
times in a most insolent Manner., varying
-the-exercusewabytrialfing- eccentrics Swoops
off to one side, duriiig Whichit kicked eight
of the high hats at. the pew doors into
,•black silk chaos.
By the time the major reached the'vesti-
lbule.tbeleg had beeonee perfectly reoldees.
It,flew up before and it flew up behind.. It
butted against the good leg, and darted out
sidewise, and described circles, and tried to
insert its toes in the major's coat-tail poc-
kets, excite whack him on- the nose. When
:the sexton dame with the hack and pot the
'major in it the legbanged through the,
'window.glaee, and When the driver
got down to see about it the. leg SI:trend:
iahed itself • in his face, and cionOluded
thesexeronceby planting a terrible blow in
his stomach. Then the major told the
:driver that he would give him $10 to take
the leg off, and the driver accepted the
'Offer. For several minutes it eluded all
efforts to catch it as it danced about, but
finally he got hold of it and hung on while
the major, tried to Unbucklethe•straps.
Theu it dame offeand rolled • the driver An.
the mud. Hegot up to watch it. It
writhed and. kicked' and jumped and
throbbed ands_hopped_and whenever
would nasTse a dash to one Bide or the other
the orowd would scatter in order to give it
full play. Finally Ben Woolley setbis dog
on it, and earnest exciting canted ensued,
the leg two or three times running off with,
the dog, and it seemed likely that the dog
would get whipped. Mrs_Wcolley-gotea
acrowoar and. aimed a blow at the leg with
the -intent toS smash it. -Butelne-tisierse'd-IS
and nearly killed the -dog -.--As soon as the
.dog retired Mr. Woolley whacked it again
-and-burst it into Hinders, and then- there
was peace. • The major drove home and
got.. his crutches, ;,and...since then he. hail
confined himself to the inmeof a- wooden leg
without springs.
The Rends of Gren•t,Plen.
• It is usually supposed that men of great
intellectual powers have large.and maseive
heads; but, according to a writer in the
new number of the Journal of Science, the
theory which Dr. Gilbert, physician to
Queen Elizabeth, was the fikfit to suggest
is not born out by facts. . An examination
of busts, pictures, medallions, intaglios,
eto., of - the • world's famous celebrities
91MOBt tends the other way. 'In the earlier
paintings, it is true'men are distinguished
by their large heads, but this is attributa-
ble to- the painters, who- agreed with the
general opinion and wished to flatter their
sitters. A • receding forehead is mostly
condemned. Nevertheless thisfeature is
found in Alexander the Great, and,
•to a lesser degree, in ''Jtilius Ccesar.
The *head of Frederick the Great, as
will be seen froin one _ of the por-
traits in Carlyle's work, receded ,dreada,

small heads. Lord Byronat was " remark-
ably small," as were those a Lord Baeon
• and Cosmo di Medici. • Men of genius of
ancient times have only what may..be
called an ordinary or everyday forehead,
and Herodotus, Alcibiades, Plato, Aristotle
and Epicurus, among many ,ethers, are
mentioned as instances. Someare even
love-browed, as Burton, the author of
"The Anatomy of Melancholy ;" Sir Thos.
Iirovviie and Albert Durer. •The average_
forehead of the Greek soulptures in the
frieze from the Parthenon is, we are told,
"lower if auything, than what is seen in
inodern foreheads. -The godethernselves
are represented with " ordinarY,if not low
