t6- "The trouble with too many
women" says the cornfed philosopher,

p@- Chicago is fastening towards
100000 mark in population. She
intends to outcount New York by the
year 1900, if she has to annex strips Of

I9- A Christian, when he makes a

I@ A reporter calls woman who
had buried four husbands a "marital
uuadrilateral." This is good but why
didn't he say four-cornered widow,
and then everybody would have un-
derstood him.
H6- It is hard to form any idea of
the immense numbers of people in In
dia. If every man, woman and child
of them were to stand in row, hold
ing hands, the line would reach three
times round our earth at the equator.
p1r With the ships building now in
England, and the vessels captured

Ha- Though the Prince of Wales and
most of the royal families are martyrs
to indigestion, Queen Victoria has new
er suffered from dyspepsia. She at
tributes this to her eating little, but
often, and to her taking whisky at
meals. She drinks it clear without
water.
t@- Greely, the Arctic explorer, prob
ably experienced wider range of tenn
perature than any other living man.
He recorded GO below zero at Fort
Couger, in Lady Franklin Bay. On
another occasion in the Maricopa des-
ert of Arizona, his thermometer in the
shade ran up to ia.
t@ Josh Billings says: "Most men
will concede that it looks foolish to see
a boy draggin' heavy sled up hill
for the feetin' pleasure of ridin' down
again. But it appears to me that the
boy is a sage by the side of young
man who works hard all the week, and
drinks up his wages on Saturday
night"
r@- "Confound it," exclaimed Jack
son, "what stupid fellow that jewel
ler is" "How SOP" inquired his
friend. "Wby, 1 told him the other

all present-day hygienists. Patients
on the sunny side of the hospital ward
recover soonest. The person who al
ways walks on the sunny side of the
streets outlives his shade-seeking
brother by 10 years. Sleep in rooms
where the sun has shed its rays all

IB- In Hindostan the marriage cere-
mony is short and simple, and no
courting precedes it. The arrange
ments are all made by the friends or
relatives of the principals. When
bride and groom are brought together,
in many cases they see each other for
