On entering one of these women's
restaurants it gives man queer feel
ing to see one on two lonely little tables
in dark corner marked reserved for
gentlemen" This he feels is turning
the tables on him with a vengeance,
and, as a rule, they are rather Stunned
by men who go to restaurants for the
purposes of eating only. Women like
them well, however. They are, as
rule, more economical feeders" than
men and like to go where they can
order q 10 or Is cent meal without
feeling snubbed Some of the checks
run higher, of course, but not much
higher, as a rule.
They feel at home in these places
and frequently take Off their hats as
we'll as wraps and spend three-quarters
of an hour over cup of tea without
feeling in the way This is one of
their most conspicuous failings from
the proprietor's point of view. Where
100 women will not order more than
half as much as 100 men, they will
occupy the tables twice as long. Still
there is more profit in the food women
buy than in mems. Men eat mostly
meats, in which there is remarkably
little profit, but women incline to ice
cream, cake, charlotte russo, fruits,
pie, tea, chocolate, ETC., in which there
is plenty Of profit to the dealer New

THE MORN AND EVE OF LIFE.

"Oh, flames star Of heavenly birth,
Enlightening every human sky
Commissioned to exalt mankind
And lift its low ambitions high
And wealth's a bird. Of plmnage grand,
That scars unlimited and free.
Bedecked with power, with rank adorned
Who envies not its libertyY
And loves flower surprising sweet,
That blossoms in the fertile heart,
And to each thought and word and deed
Doth beauty. grace and balm impart
Fame. wealth and love I'll seek and find,
They'll bring me joy and peace of mind;
A mans the maker Of his fate"
Thus sings gay youth, with hope elate,
For the morn of life has come;
All things are bright
With n rosy light.
How fair is the rising sun
ayes, fame's star Of heavenly birth,
That shines with an inspiring ray,
But stars are tickle. transient things;
They fade with coming of the day.
And weaitb's bird, of plumage grand,
That knows no law save its own lust,
And yet, its naughty pinions cleft,
How oft its feathers trail the dust
And loves q flower, surprising sweet.
That charms the gazer's heart and eye
But, of the earth conceived, begot,
1t blooms to wither and to die.
Fame, wealth and love tho one may find,
They'll bring not joy nor peace Of mind;
A mans the creature of his lot"
Thus signs old age, by hope forgot.
For the eve of life is come;
All things are drear,
The night draws near.
How sad is the setting SUM-

A Somewhat Ancient Toad.

Local antiquarians and biologists In
England are enchanted at present with o
live toad found in the course of railway
excavations at Greenock.. The toad is
certainly from 10000 to 10000 years
old, as the stratum clay In which 1t was
found certainly dates from the glacial
period. Its mouth is sealed up; 1t
breathes slightly through the nostrils,
and though the eyes are quite expressive
II does not seem to see.-Public Opinion.
