WHY MEN SHOULD DE BACHELORS
An EnGtishrnaE Wins "a Prize for
Writing Twelve Good Reasons.

An English publication recently Of
fered a prize for twelve best reasons
why a man should remain a bachelor.
The prize was awarded 10 a Mr.. Sam
uel Bachelor, whose contribution Is
given bef0w:
/. If n man is naturally selfish, for
goodness sake let him always look
after No. /.
>. If his mother is the best cook in
the world. let him stop with her
3. If, whenever he opens Lis mouth.
he is always putting his foot in ii, he
had better V propose TO a girl.
4. If he q thorough miser, ii Wee
better for him TO remain singular-ly
miserable.
,. If he is generally a woman-hater.
LEI him become a hermit in the Isle of
Man.
q. If he detests children and calls
them pests, he is evidently unciyilized
and unworthy to frequent h haunts
OF a civilized community.
Z. If physically and cOnstitutionally
united for matrimony. ii is nothing
less than criminal for him TO marry.
5. If q man is blessed with a good
sister TO whom he is very unkind and
even cruel. he is certainly unsuitable
for a partner 10 any one else's sister.
8. If a man is earning less salary
than the woman whom he might care
TO marry is earning, let him not marry
her.
10. If a man would be likely 10 pre-
fer after marriage the company nf club
associates and the pleasures of the
billiard table to the sweet companion
ship OF n wife and tile hal!owed hap
ness OF 4 home. let him refrain from
thinking of marrying.
II. Ii n man will be unable TO main
tain n wife as comfortably as she las
been used 10. and unless he has some
thing saved toward future unforeseen
oventualities. he had better remain a
bachelor, for when poverty comes in
at the door love flies out at the win
dew.
l.. If he would be unwilling 10
frankly and candidly tell before mar
Rage everything OF his past life,
which, in the event of his marrying.
would. if found out. cause endless
trouble and lifelong unhappiness, let
him by all means remain single.

sheep for Breeding Uses

Where can | get Il batch of common
ewes, as | want to start a flock Of
Sheep This question is frequently
asked of us nowadays by farmers
from all sections of the Northwest.
where arabic farming is being carried
on. And we are quite unable TO answer
such a question. Sheep were rushed
upon a slaughter market in 1899 and
1894, II even in 1895. in some iocali-
ties. To so great an extent has this
been done that the country is now short
of sheep by several millions. This
fact is now being realized. and farmers
are again beginning to look about
them for foundation animals with
which they can build up focks. 1t
would afford us very much pleasure.
indeed, if we could tell them where to
get such animals. Those who have
them do not care to sell. The price of
breeding animals will undoubtedly go
up higher: hence. those who wish TO
invest in sheep cannot do so at too
early a day. If aged ewes cannot be
got. we would suggest the buying of
eve lambs. They should not be bred
as lambs, but thej would grow enough
good wool the first. year TO pay their
keep, and the second yea they would
bring both wG'l and lamb. Not a sin
gle gcod eve lamb should be sen 20
market the present year for slaughter.
Sheep will undoubtedly be good prop
erty during the years that are immedi-
ately at laDd.-Nort western Farmer.

BEWARE OF ICE CREAM.
British Institute Of Preventive Med
fcins. Says "a Is Deadly.


The British Institute Of Preventive
Medicine has dealt a deadly blow TO
Ice cream. \ very exhaustive inquiry
regarding the patur and authorizations
of this toothsome substance has just
been completed by DR.. Mae Fadyen
and Mr.. Collyer, Il. i. G.. These gentle
men tell us that ice cream has only

water: that the solids consist of fats,
4 per cent; sugar. II per cent: starch,
9 per cent: albuminoids. 4 per cent:
and mineral matter, " per cent. This
all sounds well enough, and would
lead the unwary reader to think that
ice c.eam was all right. but the de-
nUuement comes in the results of mi

and putrefactive microbes of various
kinds. We find no account Of a chem

add the final touch TO the pathological
picture of the ice cream Of the shops.
Ia this country it is known that ice
creams chemically contain n poison
known as t~yrotoxicon. But in London
it seems, what with the bugs and the
microbes and the filth generally. there
