OTTAWA Ill,
Pity the Sorrows Of the Poor Old Bach
elor.


What an unhappy life bachelor must lead
he is all alone day after day, month after month,
and year after year. When he comes in out Of
the field at noon he has to get his dinner or go
without it, and at night when he comes in after
a day of hard labor, he does not find supper
on the table awaiting him, and pleasant face
at the door to greet his coming with smiles and
a hearty kiss Instead of this he finds his door
shut and the fire out, and all is silent with the
exception of some birds who are perched on
some tree close at his door; they sing 80 sweetly
that it seems as if they had come to enliven
his life and make it happy as possible: Some
bachelors try to tidy up their homes when Sat
urday comes, but everything is in muss and
they meet with poor success in trying TO make
their homes seem more cheerful. When Sun
day comes the bachelor has to spend his time
all alone unless some kind neighbor takes pity
on him and drops in for friendly chat; or
perhaps he goes to church. His bed is not
made, his stove blacked, his floor swept, his
dishes washed, or his knives and forks secured
very often. There are no flo wer-beds in front
of his door in which beautiful flowers might
have been IL he had not have been a bachelor.
He has no loving wife to mend his clothes, sew
on buttons, or do his washing. He has to hire
his washing done or do it himself lat which he
would make poor show, think. Indeed, it
seems TO me AZ if . bachelor led very lonely
and unhappy life Well, do not wish to take

NEW YORTs QUEEN OF BEAUTY
A Young Lady Of New YOrk's Highss
Circles Sitting as. a Vailed
Model for the Artistic Med
loal Club.
New Yert Sunday Ner,.l

New York Sunday Nevs.l
At the meeting Of the Photographic
section of the American Institute on
Tuesday, Mr.. Oscar G.. Mason, Off
cial photographer to Bellevue Hospital
Medical College. exhibited magic Lam
tern pictures Of a very mysterious
young lady. In explanation, he said
that there exists in this city a very
private and select coterie, or organiza-
ton, which may be called the Artistic
Medical Club. 1t consists of thirteen
OF fourteen members, each one of
wbomis aphysician. A speciality with
them is the study Of tn human form
ia its most perfect development, and
to get the best attainable living model
has been a leading ambition with
them. One of their number bethought
himself of a young lady having an adj
mirably %proportioned figure and men
toned the fact to his colleagues; butt how
to get her to sit Tor an artist in the
various positions required seemed for
a time an insurmountable difficulty.
She belongs to the very best society.
and her feelings, as well as those of
her family, would naturally revolt at
any proposition to hat effect. The
medical gentleman thought chat by a
little fnese he could get over the diff
iculty. He was the family physician,
and as such had exceptional privileges
accorded him. He made certain
measurements, comprising the young
lady's height, size of waist, ETC., and
found them all to approach remark
ably close to the ideal standard Of cor
~rectness. Tho greatest deviation
from that standard did not exceed the
sixteenth part of an inch. The young
lady never wore cOrsetS, tight shoes or
any of the other cramping articles that
go to constitute a fashionable lady's
mske-ap, and was in consequence the
embodiment Of health as well as a
model of grace and symmetry.
The physician who undertook to get
pictures of this charming person took
an opportunity TO breach the subject
to her parents, explained to them that
it was in the interests of art, and that
the whole would be done with the
utmost delicacy possible. They men
toned the matter to their daughter,
who refused at first to listen to the
proposition. But after several months
of negotiations between her parents
and the doctor, she yielded consent on
certain conditions. some Of which were
the following: That the artist who
took" her should never see her face
so as to be able afterward to recognize
her; that he should only be accom-
panied by one other gentleman, who
should be a physician and a member
of the club, and that she should be
accompanied by two lady friends.
On the stipulated conditions, she
allowed herself to be photographed in
various attitudes, her face alone being
concealed by a heavy vail Of drapery,
and the artist to this day does not
know who she is,
More health, sunshine and Joy in
Hop Bitters than in all Other remedies.
