A writer in The New York Recorder
gives the following advice to bachelors :
"Marry your little fatty, John. Fat
drives away the groen-eyed monster,
| jealousy. Look around you in the parks,
the cars. the shops aud streets. All the
| flirting that's going on is done by the
| light weights. And why? Because we
men, we cruel men, hate to be ridiculed.
Wouldn't it look just killing to see me,
weighing 140 pounds, make eyes at 1S0
FOUNDER! Women who measure not
more than five feet four inches and weigh
more than 1G0 pounds are too fat and
matronly looking for such light sport.
The house is the place for them. In her
home q stout woman spreads comfort |;
she: restful to look at; she is not jerky,
In her right place. She will make true
wife, because she soon finds out that no.

be only too glad to have at least one
whole man all to herself, and coddle aud
pet him to her heaat's content. Stout
women are affectionate, romantical and
easily satisfied. Do marry your girl,
John, and be happy. I'll follow your
example after am tired ot flirting with
the pretty girls"
After prisoner has been sentenced
in Kansas to suffer the penalty of death
he must be kept in prison year, and the
law provides that IL nothing has then
transpired to raise question an to his
guilt the Governor may order the e1ecu-
ton of the sentence. But no Governor
has ever ordered an execution since the
law was passed, twenty years ago, and
the State is now maintaining some two
hundred criminals, all Of whom might be
hanged tomorrow if the Governor of the
State was willing to order it. This law
is said to have been passed on account OF
the amount Of desperate false swearing
that was revealed in criminal suits In the
old days, in the border counties. Muir
derers often confessed on their deathbeds
that they had sworn away the life of some
innocent man and thereby saved their
own. The law has in n ore than one case
saved the life of men who had been con-
vcted of murder,
Commenting on some recent remarks
of Senator Pritchard, Of North Carolina,
the Raleigh News and Observer says:
The reason given why the young men
have but little to hope for at its hands.
This is true. Those young men who
have left the Dem ocratic party first tried
to get office in the Democratic party.
Better men, young and old, obtained the
coveted places, and, az they are in politics
for what they can get out of it, they Joined
a new party" These remarks hold with
regard to other Southern States as we'll
az to North Carolina The "young men"
who have obtained high Offices by leaving
the Democratic party in effect, could not
have obtained very humble offices by
remaining in it. They are no loss and
no gain to any party.
The oxygen gas of the air is at once
the great stiln ulant and the great destroy

putreiaction, com bustion and oxidization,
which are all merely different names for
the same process in different forms,
oxygen is doing its universal work. 1t
is no metaphor, but chemical fact, that
the world and everything in it are burn
ing with greater or less degree OF rapid
ity. It is only when the process becomes
very rapid that we can see the flames.
So instead of saying that we are in the
midst of everlasting fire-a saying which
might alarm the limid-the scientific
merely say that oxIdization in its various
forms goes on without cessation.
1t is said in the National Druggist
that the teeth of negroes are no longer
as white and sound as they were half
century ago-that the teeth of the negroes
of this generation are more detective than
those of white people. That conclusion
is probably due to observations made in
the cities where negroes congregating in
unsanitary quarters are subject to a long
list of diseases which have decayed teeth
among their symptoms. But in the
country where the negro lives healthy
and natural life his digestion Is as good
and his teeth as sound as ever,
