Why I am a Bachelor.

I do not marry for many reasons.
/ One reason is,that I am of very at
fectionate temperament. feel quite
sure that it is better for me to love all
women, as I do now, than to have to
profess to love but one woman--my
wife.
$50 writes au unmarried man in Cas-
sell's.)
Let me think Of some more reasons.
As bachelor I get great many
invitation cards and pleasant atten-
tions wherever I go. Ny married
friends don't have anything like as
much luck, and their wives make them
angry by wondering why it is so.
It is exceedingly nice when 1 dine
out to be paired off with an unmarried
girl. My married friends look across
the table at me enviously. Any sort
Of married trump is good enough
for them.
As I am, can do exactly as like !;
20 to bed at or 3 at my own sweet
will and breakfast in bed or up at any
hour. Most husbands can by no
means do as they please, even in SO
small matter as this. They are ex-
pected to be at home by 10 or IL
o'clock, or face cold coffee, cold eggs,
cold toast and cold looks next morn
ing.
Every married man marries for him
self-for his pleasure and comfort.
Am I to blame if I choose to remain
single for the same purpose !? There
|, is no absurder cant than the talk about
it being mans duty to the race to
take wife.
Of course, too, there is the dread
full possibility Of the marriage turning
out i'll. It is next to impossible for a
man to say definitely, ''I can be hap,
| py with such woman for my wife. "
+ know sweet young girls, who, five
years from their wedding day, were
untidy, coarse, negligent women,
either openly loving their children to
the neglect of their husbands, OF
openly Indifferent to both husband and
children.
This sort of thing is frightful to
think of. Married men in some cases
seem to get used to it, but it wearies
and kills the brighter part Of them.
do not write altogether as anovlce
in matters of the heart. I have been
| in love over and over again. Some
how, though, I have always put of
popping the question until some Other
fellow has done it on his own account
OF all these girls whom / might have
married, only one now, as marriec
woman, seems to answer the expecta'
tions had formed Of her. The real
ization of this makes me more ano
more fond Of my bachelor freedom anc
responsibility. Besides, [ have
gray hair or two, and my habits art
| getting fixed. -
An astonishing number Of men like
myself remain single for reasons much
like those I have mentioned. Un
married, we have one bird in thu
hand, contentmont. How can we tel
that we may get hold Of that gay, long
tailed paroquet in the hush, married
felicity, if we suddenly change oul
state !?
There is an ideal woman I should
like to marry. Some day [ may meet
with some one who is tolerably like
her. Then, if [ am not too old, l vii
WOO her.-PaU Nall Gazette.

Examine the Combs of the Fowls.

1t is the easiest thingin the world
when you know how It's done.to tell
when your fowls are in i'll health, even
in the incipient stages Of any disease
or ailment, if you but examine your
flock carefully. The comb OF each
fowl is a true index to the workings OF
their systems. If they be in i'll health,
the comb will lose color and become
far less firm in texture; as the malady
increases, the color decreases, till a
very sick bird will show comb almost
devoid of scarlet color, being OF a liy-
id dull crimson, or else pale or ashyin
appearance. If the cholera or any
other disease should come into the
flock, carefully examine the comb OF
each bird morning and night, and all
those which are wanting in that bright
red color which denotes perfect health
remove at once from the flock to a
place remote, where they should be at
once put under medical treatment.
The comb of fowl is an honest in

Must and Won't.

A little boy once said to his mother,
when he found himself getting into
close quarters about something which
they disagreed ovef: Don't make me
do it, mamma; let me do it.
It is easier to do thing when they
will let us do it than it is when they
undertake to maize us do it.
Little four-year-old Bud was play
ing with his older sister, Ethel, when
some plaything was wanted from be-
low.
".Rud, you go down stairs and get
it.
The young man hesitated, and
looked as if he was thinking, "You
might have said please.
aBut Bud, you must. [ am the
mother. and am the Oldest, and you
must obey me.
The little child straightened him
self up and stamped his little foot,
and said: "Well, Ethel, if [ must |
,cont."
Bud had a great deal Of human ma,
ture, and Ethel was slig ghtly lacking
in tact. If the older brothers and
sisters will nut on fewer airs and less
authority, they will get on much bet,
ter managing their little brothers and
sisters than they do when they try tc
show off their dignity. Patience and
meekness help much about managing
little ones.

Machinery of the Human Body.

In the human body there are about
263 bones, The muscles are about
600 in number. The length Of the
alimentary canal is about 81 feet. An
exchange adds that the amount of
blood in an adult averages 80 pounds,
or fully one-ffth of Che entire weight:
The heart is six inches in length and
four inches in diameter, and beats
seventy times per minute, 4, 200 times
per hour, 100,800 times per day, 36,=
1872, 1000 per year, 2,575, 100000 iii
three,score-and- ten, and ut each beat
two and one-half onnces of blood are
thrown out Of it, 175 ounces per min.
ute, e56 pounds per hour, and seven
and three=qdarters tong per day.
All the blood IN the body passes
through the heart in three minutes:
This little organ pumps each day What
is equal to lifting ,122 tons one foot
high, or ono ton l22 feet high.
The lungs will contain about one
gallon Of air at their usual degree Of
imitation. We breathe on an average
1900 times per hour, inhale 600 gal.
Ions Of air, or 14,40O per day. The
aggregate surface Of the air-cells Of
the lungs exceeds 10000 Square
inches, an area nearly equal to the
floor Of room twelve feet square.
The average weight of the brain of
an adult male is three pounds eight
ounces; of female, two pounds four
ounces. The nerves are all connected
with it directly or by the spinal mar
row. These nerves with their
branches and minute ramifcations
probably exceed 10, 600, 600 in number.
The skin is composed of three lay
ers and varies from one-quarter to one
eighth Of IN inch in thickness. The
atmospheric pressure being about
fourteen pounds to the square inch, a
person Of medium size is subjected to
a pressure of 100000 pounds. Each
square inch of skin contains $500
sweating tubes or perspiratory pores,
each Of which may be likened to lit
tie drain-pipe one-quarter Of an inch
long, making an aggregate length for
the entire surface Of the body Of 20l,-

"Drink It ? Never"

It was a gay, convivial entertain
ment. Mabel Howard had been uni
ted to the man of her choice. Many
young people were assembled and all
were enjoying themselves greatly.
The ruby contents of the wine cup
flashed ruddily in the light and lent
glow to many a manly check, and
made many maiden's eye sparkle
with brilliancy. Few were there who
hesitated to sip the clear, sparkling
fluid.
Perhaps the most beautiful being in
the whole assembly was Mabel How
ard, who had just become the wife OF
Hugh Harrison. She was lady Of
most attractive form and features, ad-
mired by all and respected for her
strength of character and nobility Of
nature. A friend led her to the table,
and pouring out glass of wine from
the decanter, offered it to her, invit,
ing her to drink with him. Mabel
took the glass and holding it at arm s
length, and pointing at the sparkling
wine, she exclaimed:
"Drink it! Drink that which has
been the cause of so much misery to
me? Once had noble and generous
father. No nobler man existed than
he. Admired, respected and honored
by all for his talents and manly beauty,
he was nevertheless ruined by the de-
mon-drink lower and lower he fell,
until he become miserable sot-a
disgrace to humanity. And now he
fills a drunkards grave. One day
frenzied by this, this which you ask
me to drink, he struck my darling
mothcr-his own wifc-a fierce blow,
and fcllcd her to the ground. She
never rose again-for he killed her!
And yet you asked me to drink this!
This, which has brought so much woe
to me! This, which has destroyed the
happiness of so many wives and
daughters, and mothers! This, which
has ruined so many noble men This,
which is a curse and nothing but a
curse to society! Drink it? Neverl'
And she dashed the goblet to the
ground and broke it into thousand
pieces.
A solemn silence rested on the as
sembly. Surprise and astonishmcnt
were visible on every countenancc.
The wine was removed and never
again was it seen on the table of that
mansion. From that evening many a
man, accustomed to imbibc sparkling
wine, refused ever afterwards to touch
the ruinous wine cup.-Gole1en Censer.

fore if, when measuring to locate
break, it be found that the measuring
apparatus indicates a resistance of9OO
ohms, the exact position Of the fault
will be known to be 300 miles from
shore.
With this informatian the captain
of the repairing ship is able to deter.
mine by his charts Of the course OF
the cable, the latitude and longitude
Of the spot where the break occurred
and can proceed with certainty to effect
the repair. When the approximate
neighborhood Of the track is reached
grapnel is dropped overheard and
vessel steams slowly in 9 course DIT
right angles to the run OF the cable.
On deck of the ship thereis a machine
called dynometer, which, as its name
implies; is used to measure resistahce.

that the grapnel has caught the cable.
If, on the other hand, the resistance
varies from nothing to tons and from
tons to nothing again, it is known that
the grabnel is only engaging rocks
and other projections of an uneven
bottom. 1t is frequently necessary to
drag over such ground sew
eral times, before the cable can be Sc
cured.
Having secured one end Of a parted
cable the vessel moors it to buoy and
proceeds to search for the other end.
When both ends are broug ht together
on deck the electrician holds commu-
nication with the shore on both sides
to make sure that there are no other
defective places and that the cable is
perfect in both directions. This hav.
ing been satisfactorily determined all
that remains is to splice the ends TO-
gether and drop the cable once more
back into the sea.

republican party for having passed. IL
plain words the fundamental and care
fully-prts ,rved principle of the Wilson
bill Is not to raise revenue from Gus
toms duties, but 10 give certain favored
home industries an artificial, protected
profit. The sugar schedule illustrates
the cal nature of the bill as well as
any. 1t will be borne in mind that a
revenue tariff differs from a protective
tariff ia this, that the former taxes i'm 4.
ported products. of kind not rails in
the home country, IN order that the tax
on them may all 90 into the treasury,
while the latter taxes imported pro !
ucts whose like is produced in the
home country, in order that part Of
the tax may 90 into the pockets of the
home producers for their "prot' ion."
Now, in accordance with The revenue
principle, commodity like sugar,
nearly all Of which Il imported, would
he substantially taxed, while produc 8
like cotton aud wooden goods, OF hich
there is a large domestic production,
wou'd be lightly taxed or left free alto
gether. But the Wilson bill, instead
Of raising the duties on sugar, or re-.
moved, actually reduces them. A. the
same time il leaves the duties on cot
ton and wooden pods, iron aud steel
products, and all msnuf ,ctured articles
at handsome protective figures. There
is nothing of free trade or revenue
tariff in this; it is protection through
aud through.
1t is somewhat more endurable than
the form and degree OF protection we
now labor under; but it differs from the
Mex nlev law only in detail. 1t is a
bill which the republicans might have
proposed without doing violence to
their tariff principles. 1t is very much
such III | as they probably would
have proposed, if they h d had the
chance after last years elections, in or.
der 10 appease the evident wrath of the
people over the M X nley enormitv.
But the people at that time d. clar,
that they did not want the republicans
in putting the tariff-makiug power in
the hands Of the democrats they GER
tainly did not mean that the latter
should use IL on the rejected republican
principles. That, however, is just
what the democrats have done. Tney
have prepared tariff bill which is es
sentially republican and protective IN
principle, aud with d ffers from the
present republican and protective law
only in details and percenta ,es; and iol

Truth AMI CandOr.

Josiah Poul, for nerly of Groton,
sends the WATCnMAN the following
editorial from the Sun, published in
Temple, Texas, leading democratic
paper:
Congress has adjourned. 1t was the first
democratic body the country has seen for
many, many years, and we all had great
hopes in it, But now we cannot ht feel
ing ashamed at its course Apologize AZ we
may for the extraordinary situation which
confronted it, there yet remains the bitter
fact that the party l. raw and unnanagr-
able when in power. We gained power by
complaining Of the abuses of the republic
in n minority fight. As aj)rity, we are
a failure. Long years Of practice in the
new role of conquerers will be required be-
fore the democratic party Will he able to
Iegslate az party and with success, anu,
with 10 record to go before the people with,
there is but small hope that the party will
be returned to power. There Il in reality
an excuse for the failure. but there Is but
little use in urging it, II the voters were
to cast their ballots in patriotism aud were
to content themselves to wait for that
smoothness OF running that can come only
with time, then there might be hope for a
continuance of democratic administration.
The party is inpeled to great reforms, and
the different sections of the country are
each bent on getting through measures
strictly sectional in their benefits. With
the bringing together of crowd OF such
people, none want to wait their turn, and as
a consequence congress degenerates into a
bowling mob, incapable Of wise legislation.
The Sun sees very dark cloud ahead.
Not that the result OF the financial agitation
~ as it is, but for the discord that prevails.
The Sun, while deprecating the unfortunate
s;t haa fAif in ha mo friu IN nh
OF the intelligence and patriotism OF the
people. and we believe that the democratic
party is the chosen vessel for restoring the
rights and liberties OF the people,"

been invested and great numbers OF
men have been employed in quarryiDg
aud dressing granite. Large accessory
investments in railway construction and
in expensive plants have also been made.
New communities have been built up
and old ones have undergone great
expansion in the prosecution of the
granite industry. All this successful
development and growing prospect a
democratic administration proposts to
cripple or utterly destroy. The tariff
reformer has dealt somewhat more leu
iently with marble and slate. Granite
seems to be the object of his special
maevoence. In this connection the
casual observer might raise the query,
why is large duty on marble in the
rough retained, while granite in the
same condition is sent to the free list?
Lumber is another article in the pro-
duction of which our neighbor on the
north is an active competitor. Here
again the democratic tariff reformer
discriminates 10 favor of the Canuck
against the Yankee. All the old du-
ties in this branch of industry are an
nulled, and lumber including clap
boards, shiug ca, railway ties, etc, etc =,
all the peculiar products of Vermont
forests, are placed in the free list. The
lumberman is prospective companion
in misery of the farmer, the quarryman
and the manufacturer. Disaster to all
her material interests must inevitably
result to Vermont if the Wilson report,
or anything similar to it, ultimately be.
comes a law.
Now what is true of ermont's in
terests as affected by this measure is
also true of The interests of every other
state. A will be injlriously affected,
some in one way and som in ano h ar.
Had Vermont's old-.ime republicans N
ever shown any sigos of waning,
thi, attack upon her interests would
suffice to reinspire her devotion to re-
publican prinei lies. In the next con.
hict with organjz democracy, This
state will lead the attack with vigOr
and unanmity that will eclipse any Of
her former achievements in the way OF
political warfare.

There is little to be said Ia favor OF dd
ualorem duties. As - the income tax,
those who remember how this tax was
levied during The war have for this sys-
tenn of taxation only expressions OF
deepest reprobation. 1t bore severely
upon salaried men whose incomes were
not the subject of question; but the
rich man, with invested wealth, was
quite likely to escape the exactions OF
the tax.gatherer. Possibly the ways
and means committee may propose a
tax on income from investments only,
made payable by the payers instead OF
the receivers of income. 1t is sug-
gested also that corporations of every
description, and those who rent houses,
stores, etc., may be invited to assist in
making good the millions of revenue
the democrats propose to cut off from
imported goods. In any or all Of these
sche m 70 of tax REFORM" the country
will take very active interest.
