FEMALE HISSING.
Tea L.'t'ILS or TUE INDISCRIMINATE, FRAC.
TI010 AMONG 'WOMEN.
Much ridicule hat been expended,
and rightly, upon the almost univers-
al habit among women, even those
not especially inti, ate 'with each
other, of 1(1881ng whenever they meet
or part, says the Philadelphia Press.
The kiss, as a salutation, belongs
properly to another and more bar-
barous gnarter of the globe than Am-
erica, and to a time long ago. It is
legitimately an expression of profound
affection, and to use it commonly or
slightingly 10 to degrade a beautiful
and tender ceremony. Some recent
observers have remarked that the kiss
all a salutation, except among bear
kindred or dear friends, is passing
out of use. We should be glad to
believe that this is so, but in many
portions of the country it is certain
that the kissing habit is atilt almost
universal among women, Theeo be-
tween whom an actual dislike known
to exist touch each other's lips 111
their pulling rounds, and even on the
street and at railroad stations,
At a tiertain girls' lichee' some
years ago, where the kissing furor
was prevalent—as ,the
the case in most
Scheele of the sort—a society was
formed, which was dubbed the A. K.
j1, These mystic•lottors stood for
Love is to man a thing apart,
'Tie woman's whole existence,
nye some poet. This is undoubted-
ly true, speaking broadly, as society
is organized at present, but the gen-
nine, large love is, and ought to be,
the underlying basis of the character
of every man as well as of every
W0111101.
The love to which the pont alludes
is too apt to be a sickly sentimental-
ism. It is impassible to cberieh
such unhealthy fancies in tbo busy
life which every women ought to live
i1) common with her husband or her
brothers. 'This dreamy romanticism,
which 1s ready to make a hero out of
the first etuptd youth who happens
along is responsibie for a Targe pr0•
portion of the bad matches, the brok-
en hearts and unsettled minds which
infest society. If womomen could
only be taught that they aro not to
think of marriage excepting no a hap-
py chance, and 1111 something not in
the least essential to the complete-
ness of their lives, a great step for-
ward would be taken 111 their pro-
gress. With Loth men and w01110n
the period of youth must necessarily
he more or lose haunted With dreams
of love. This is natural and inevit-
able. No thoughtful person would
have it otherwise. But when roman•
tic ideas absorb the whole power of
mind, rendering efficient practical
work impossible, as is the cage with
many silly young girls, the question
becomes a serious one. How shall
we elevate these young women, and
give to love and marriage the proper
space and weight in their minas ?
We believe that it can be done only
by uprooting from the feminine mind
certain iugrained and longinnculated
notions, namely, that woman lives
but for marriage ; that any kind of
light occupation or none at all will
do till the expected "inexpressive he"
appears, and that the mastery jof
some sort of useful and remunerative
business is not just as much a duty
of woman as of man.
We fear that the frequent kiss of
average womanhood, is but, in some
sort, an expression of the sentiment-
alism which is characteristic of a
large part of the female sex of the
human epeeiea at this period. It is
not unlikely that the disappearance
of the too social lip touching, if we
ever live to see it. may mark not only
a restoration of the kiss to its true
affectional eignifioanao, but au ad.
vancement of women to a higher
grade of intelligence and sensibility.
North Huron Teachers.
A convention of the teaoher0 of North
Huron was hold at Bruise'0 on q'hurtday
and Friday 10 d; 11 inst. Thu attendortr o
was fair, and the meeting 10(10 one of the
moot inter-oliog that has yet bean held.
All the subjects 10 the 1i:warn were taken
up Ina Dna ; the papet'o read were to the
point and ieu,iiie, and thediseuuslen there-
on 1131(8 interet lug and profitable. One
noticeable Lain re was (ho unu-many large
number of young men wlto took part in the
dismission, and judging by the oloar and
poiut.ed manner in 0111011 all expressed
themselves, we should say that the profess-
ion in North Huron is nut retrograding at
any rate, D, M. Malloch, President, oc.

iness 0110 to 0111;81)11 a eomtnitlee, compos.

reports of the proceedings to local papers—
which was in itself a 0enstble move, and
one wbiolt 00 aro sure will bo duly appreci-
ated. For the following report, therefore
we are indebted to W. H. Stewart;—
i nn OPENING AMEBAS.
Mr, Malloch gave his address on "School
Disoipliue," in which he gave some useful
flints to the toaohors. Ile thought persua-
sion and kindness should never take the
place of a»113000y, lie urged upon tench-
ors the necessity of giving the pupils plenty

be difficult 10 keep pupils engaged. W. H.
Stowart thought that the little pupils should

important factor in securing discipline. 81t',

of Drawing in a very nice manner, show-
ing how simply this subject may be taught.
Mr. Duff followed with an address en
Time Tables for Ungraded Schools. Mr.
Duff presented two styles of time tables,
either of which he thought was good,
Quito a lengthy criticism followed.
