Mans Many FauIts.

"Bab" entertainingly analyses man
in the following terms =
A man is an animal that would
scorn divided skirts and yet spends
two hours selecting the kind Of cloth he
wants used for his trousers.
A man is an animal who can be
fiattered and c0axed into anything
but once you start to drive him the
mule-like nature is uppermost.
A man is an animal who thinks he
is little tin god on wheels, and
never realizes that he isn't until he is
down fiat on his back with the ma
laria and woman has to wait on him.
A man is an animal who is desira-
bic when you are in trouble, because,
the brute in him being greater, he can
swear more and hit out straighter
from the shoulder than you can.
A man is an animal who eats the
very best he can get, and who prefers
to drink the same quality, but free
quently becomes tank for holding
bad whiskey.
A man is an animal made for the
benefit of women, and the more she
can get out of him in the way of kind
ness and love the more has he fulfill
ed his duty in life but, with all his
faults-we love him still

ais a Husband worth Having ~.

Our spirited contemporary Wopsais,
has been asking its readers, as a
!" prize conundrum, "ls a husband
worth having ?" Since the question
has arisen it is satisfactory to note
that the three winning correspon-
dents all answer in the affirmative.
Being married, also, they speak wit
connaissance de cause. In fact, the
great majority of answers quoted
more or less confidently pronounce
that taking one thing with another,
subject to exceptions, remembering
also how society is organized-it is,
upon the whole, rather better to have
a husband than not. To tell. the
truth, the issue is not encouraging.
As the first prize winner says. @This
momentous question would have been
laughed to scorn fifty years ago"
We might put it more strongly all
round. Fifty years ago it would
hardly have been safe for a respect
able journal to PROFOUND the query,
unless in joke. Twenty years since
no one would have replied seriously.
At the point we have reached nobody
is much surprised; the answers are
many and grave, and their purport is
by no means decided. Remember
ing that women are by nature conser-
vative, very slow to adopt new ideas
in others, this hesitating tone seems
significant. 1t is rather alarming to
speculate how the question will be
treated ten years hence. Ladies who
reply fail to grasp the abstract view,
as might be expected. They all de-
clare that good husband is worth
having, and bad one decidedly not,
These, however, were not worth a
question-theY speak for themselves.
Probably women will be more logical
in the years to come but goodness
only knows to what conclusion more
accurate reasoning will bring them.-

HOW PEOPLE SAY GooD-BY.
OBSERVATIONS ON THE sUBJEcTFRoM
A TRAVELLING SALESMAN OF
CHICGO.

"When I'm on the road" said
travelling man at the Sherman house,
81 make a study of the different
manners in which different people
bid their friends good-by. A busi-
ness man comes on the car with his
wife, gets seat for her, puts her
bundles in the rack, presses her hand,
and perchance gives her matter of q
fact kiss and is done, and the whole
has been done so quietly tnat no one
has taken any notice of it. A young
lady accompanies her young lady
friend to fhe train. After going from
one end of the car to the other and
back again they find a seat that will
answer. The young lady is going up
the road ten miles and will be gone
till the next day. sWell, good-by,
Lii says one. I do hate to say
good.by,' says the other. / wish
youwere going with me- 'Oh, 50 do
r. well, good.by.' sGood-by.'

so good-by.' Another kiss. Good
by And thus they 60 on as long as
the train will wait for them.
"Then there is the lovers good-by.
1t is very different from any other.
In many good-bys there is much
more said than is meant, but the
lovers mean much more than they
say. The sly look that flashes from
eye to eye has whole world of
meaning in it for them. And the
good-by clasp of their hands
.telegraphs whole volumes of affection
from heart to heart. And when they
kiss-well, there isn't a person in the
car but would like to steal a taste of
of their bliss. And sometimes there
are amusing things occur in the hur-
ry attending the good-by salutations.
A train | was on stopped at an Iowa
town one day and ian honest country
couple entered the car. Their ap-
pearance and manner indicated that
they were unaccustomed to travelling.
"The wife was provided with seat
and the husband, who was to be left
alone went outside and talked
through the open window to her.
She was giving him detailed instruc-
tions how to look after the household
during her absence. The engine be-
gan blowing off steam and it was
necessary for her to speak very loud
to make her husband hear. The
noise suddenly ceased just when she
was in the middle of one of her
sentences, but she did not seem to be
aware of it, and the passengers all
smiled as she shouted on the still air;
And don't forget to change your
underclothes every Sunday | don't
know of anything more mixed with
tears and smiles than are the good
bys spoken at the railway stations" -

During the session of the Metho.
dist Conferences last week, one of the
ministers vent into a drug store
about dusk on chilly evening and
asked the proprietor for good, mild
cigar. After paying for it he added:
Z. = IS there any place around your

The druggist quite agreed with
him, aud said:
"Step behind my prescription

Two minutes later another good
minister came into the store, bought q
mild cigar, and asked if he might be
permitted to smoke in the store, be-
cause:
sour Bishop has Just been preach,

almost in the exact words of the pre-

How English Women Live.

/ greatly admire the Englishwoman for
her utter refusal to worry or be worried,
and the consequence is that she looks
young at fifty, writes Edward w. Box in
The Ladies Home Journal. She under
takes no more than she can comfortably
carry out, and thoroughly believes in the
coming of another day. By this I do not
mean that she procrastinates; she simply
will not let the domestic machinery
grind her down to i'll health and early
old age. Sheis frequent bather, and re-
CARDS health as the prime factor of life, to
be looked after before everything else,
though the breakfast might be an hour
late. She sleeps nine hours, and takes a
nap during the day at that. She arrangeS
her days work in the most systematic
manner, and her little memorandum
slip always shows two vacant hours: they
are for rest. She eats heartily, but the
most digestible food. In the most mod
est home, no matter how little there may
be on the table, there Is nothing but the
best. She would rather have mouthful
of good food and go partly hungry, than
eat q whole meal OF cheaper things. She
is true economist; regulates her ex-
penses carefully, and is true believer in
the allowance system. There are some
things about the English woman which
her American sister dislikes, just as it is
Uice DerSd; at the same time, there are
others which would make our American
women happier and healthier if they
initiated.

his captaincy of the club. McGuirk has
been a loyal friendto me, and I would
be an migrate if l said word against
him. What has caused the late unpleas-
antness between McGuirk and myself is
this: When we purchased the franchise
from Ginsberg | gave him his choice to
either captain the club or look after the
financial interests and not play.
"'Fl have nothing to do with the busi-
ness interest of the club, but will captain
the club he said.
"'All right said I, so I quit playing
and got the present excellent team to-
gether without one dollar of advance
money. After everything was running
smooth McGuirk steps in and wants to
look after the business end, and tells me to
do this and that, instead Of looking after
the club interest on the field. But it is the
same old stOry-too many cooks spoil the
broth. / am not the cranky or nervous
individual some make me out to be, and
members of the club will prove l worked
hard to make the game a success"
