Reflections of a Bachelor.

There are lots of weddings that
arn't marriages.
1t is significant fact that women
of the street never dress in a man
nish way.
AS soon as a man gets an idea
that he is literary he begins to wear
his hair mussy.
A woman would rather man said
he loved her and didn't than love
her and not say SO.
When you see girl on the street.
Car with a music roll with closed
ends, it generally confirms an old
newspaper or her lunch.
With most men marriage is the
means and the woman is the end,
but with most women the man is the
means and the marriage is the end

sheep business, and many instances
can be cited in proof Of the state
ment. A few however will suffice.
A young man near Manville three
years ago bought 1000 sheep on
time. The sheep paid for them
selves out of the earnings of the
business and in figuring up the
value of the flock the young man
finds it to be worth 81, 900 at cur
rent prices. Another young man
near Douglas about the same time
purchased 1,500 sheep and the
other day sold the flock and made
a net profit Of something over IS,
600 for the three years investment.
Is it to be wondered at that the
sheep are crowding out the cattle,
and now with the added Stimulus
of a tariff it will make it the most
profitable business to be found
anywhere, for some years to come"

Mrs. Hannah c. W. Bentley re-
turned home on u ednesday, Aug
ust Is, from her outing, in the
vicinity of Hebron, Utah, where
she has been taking in the various
sights that are to be- seen and
regaling on the beautiful air that
is so recuperating to the languid
people of this warm Dixie CLINE.
While there she had the, priv
lege of visiting the Enterprise
Reservoir and the land which the
conal will cover, and is SO will
pleased with the prospects she is
making preparations to locate q l6O
acre claim on the Desert, that
portion Of land being among the
best that reservoir will cover. The
present season corn has been
grown on the Desert without any
irrigation and the prospect for a
good yield is magnificent. There
is an excellent opening for young
men who have no homes to procure
them one under the confines of
this reservoir and canal, there be-
ing an abundance of land subject
to entry, and instead Of the cry
now being uttered young man,
go West" it should be CHI anged to
"Young man, go to the Desert" or
to the town called Enterprise,
secure you a home and a valuable
farm, before it is too late and the
opportunity has vanished.
Prepare while you are young to
be blessed with plenty i'll your old
age so that want will not stare you
in the face. Be careful and saving
and lay up all the surplus grain
you can raise, for the future and
you will find it will come in quite
handy for rainy day, compaTativ-
ely speaking.

Wool Markets and Sheep, a
strictly radical tariff organ and
protection journal, is evidently be-
coming populistic when it says
editorially: "The bill that has
just passed is shoot of the same
old fraudulent act. In the third
class they open wide a source of
fraud. All improved woods cost
ing over ten cents pound is ad-
mitted under seven cents pound
duty. They allow them to skirt
and trim the feeces, and scour
them within eight percent shrink
age. Don't talk about protection!
There is one gap in this debauched
statute that destroys the intention
of both first and second classes.
Ii unwashed wool as defined is the
unit protection this fraudulent gap
in the third class makes the pro-
lection on medium and coarse wool
of first and second classes only
two and onethird cents a pound
SO much for Theodore Justice, who
planted the seeds for the fraudu-
lent act to germinate."

Th ere is not much snap to business as yet but
the little gain in the volume of trade noted last
week has been maintained, notwithstanding the
unfavoraDle weather, and merchants generally
feel very much encouraged at the outlook for an
increased business. The Flour situation has
improved considerably, and millers are very
firm in their views and holding to the late ad-
vance; both jobbers and retailers have been
buying more freely, and we look for steady
market for some time to come. Corn has been
firm most of the week, but Today prices closed
easier in the specu alive markets under the in
f1uence of fine weather and in sympathy with
Wheat. In Groceries, Sugar firm with affair
inquiry. Teas are less active on account of
the agitation and the uncertainty of the
proposed duty. 1t is possible that the duty
will yet be abandoned but the question will be
kept open until tie last moment with the def
mite purpose of keeping the importers in uncer-
ainty. The prevail ny opinion here is tnat a
duty will be imposed. The dry fish market is
steady and rather easy; from first hands 81 so
is asked for Cod, with butlittle selling 81 be-
ing about the market price. Mackerel are at
tracing some attention owing to the light catch
for a few weeks past: the Chape Shore catch
has been a failure and vessels are now seeking
southern waters; last sales at Gloucester in
fiishermen's order Sill 81; the first landed a
few weeks ago sold at $6 5J@S7: the OF salt
Mackerel to date for The season has been 6S2
bbls against 2ssl for same time last year. Rice
flrmer and held 1sc higher. Coffees quiet and
steady. Provisions lower for Pork and Lard.
Eggs steady. Cheese easier. Lemons firm and
