THE BACHELOR,s SOLILOQUY.

To be, or not to be, that is the question
Whether tits better, in the main, to suffer
The slight discomforts of unmarried fortune,
Or to take arms against this life of bubbles
And by proposing, end them! A wife! to flirt
No more; and, by wife, to say we end
The heartache and the thousand nervous
shocks
That bachelors are heir to. TITS a consum-
nation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To try to keep
Accounts! perchance outrun-aye, there's
the rub,
For in that dream of bliss what bills may
come,
Which now we shuttle off with little toll,
But then must pay. There's the prospect
That makes men shy to venture on wife;
For who would bear the quick inrOads of
time,
The comic song, the fat mans company,
The pangS of secret love, the cOquette's play,
The solitary lodging wherein burns
The impatient spirit at its lonely fate,
But that the dread of something past jest
That undiscovered station, from whose bourne
No bachelor returns muzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear the ills we have
Than fly to others we know not of;
Thus caution does make towards of us ALL
And in state of weak irresolution
Our fix d intentions fail and come to naught,
While enterprising girls, with wit and beauty,
Thus on our guard to attract us vainly try,
And languiSh in detection.

Religious Notes.

There will be confirmation in the Church
of st. Louis, st. Paul, next Sunday.
On Monday evening last Bishop Ireland
departed for Ireland. He will return this
week.
On the I'd of May Bishop Grace confirmed
forty-three children in SOnetto, near Ma
pie Plaine. Hennepin county.
Rev. DR.. Seaver, pastor-elect of the Con-
greatiOnal church. corner of Holly avenue
and Mackubin street, is expected to occupy
the pulpit May 81.
Rev. and Mrs. E. Jay Cooke spend Sun
day with their former parishioners at North
field Rev. Lucius Waterman of Faribault
officiating at st. Johns
1t is expected that Rev. Mr.. Gamble of
Morgan Park theological seminary will be in
the field to take charge of the West Side
Baptist interest on Sunday the 18th.
On May Bishop Ireland administered
the Sacrament of Confirmation to 116 chill
ydren in Delano. The Catholic population
of that place and surrounding country is
made up of Poles and Germans, there being
only three Irish families in Delano. The
town is steadily increasing in population
and business. There are twelve saloons in
the place, and Bishop Ireland took occasion
to deliver powerful discourse in the even

A Shoe Dealer on the Sizes of WON
ems Feet.


From the New York Mail and Express.
Speaking of sizes, does the average diff
fer in various parts of the cOuntry?" asked
the reporter.
II don't know just what foundation it
has OF what Investigations have been made
into the subject" said the dealer, ''but it is
generally recognized that the ladies of the
East wear the smallest shoes. It is said
range from from 1 a to 215. In Ohio it
probably ranges from the latter figure to 81,
and many shoes half size larger are dis
posed of there. Shoes get larger as you
progress to the West"
''How about the Chicago girls?"
''The bellies of that city have to some ex-
tent been slandered, but it is a fact that
their pedal eXtremities are larger than the
ordinary. The sizes probably run from
numbers 3 to 4, SO you see that although
not as diminutive as they might be, the feet
Of the young ladies are not so large that
they merit the widespread attention be-
slowed on them. AS between Chicago and
st. Louis think nature in this respect dis
tributed favors with an impartial hand. An
exception to all that has been said, however,
is the case of a Sandusky belle, While only
II years of age she wears number "a shoe.
Ohio does not thus take position in the
background even in the case of feet. A New
York boot and shoe mandatory recently
issued to the trade circular of which the
proportions of this young lady's feet formed
prominent feature. After much trouble
the manufacturer secured a piece of paper
large enough to contain an outline of the
last from which the shoes were made, and
in addition filled the publication with poetry
appropriate to the subject 1t attracted
great attention, and was much commented
upon at the time"
''What is the average size of shoes worn
by mem"
81 think that it ranges from numbers to
s. 1t is for number Z, however, that we
have the greatest demand. Once in while
we have call for numbers II or 70, but
few men require protectors of such ample
dimensions. AS in the case Of the women,
the shoes worn by Eastern men are smaller
than those of their brethren in the West. y

uncommon occurrence after all, is it, Mr..

we started for Paris on our wedding trip

When we returned to London the old
governor was the first to greet us.
| could not make out what had come over
him; he seemed embarrassed, and anxious
to avoid meeting my eye, and turned the
conversation whenever it touched upon
home topics.
At last when we were alone he came up
to me and put his hand slyly upon my
shoulder. ''Charlie, my boy, don't call
your father an old FOOL but you see the
house was lonely after you left it, and had
no companion to amuse me in your absence
and so, and so-in fact, Charlie, Miss
Damian is now Mrs. Carew, and your step
mother.
''Bravo, governor" exclaimed, "and a
charming stepmother, too. Acceptmy best
wishes"
So, you see, Aunt Barbara did not re-
quire Ethel for chaperone after all!

were trying to dislocate her neck, but the
seemingly desperate feat is accomplished
easily by use of kick, a twist and glide.

lite one with learners. Upon recovering
