THOUGHTS OF A BACHELOR.
Reflections of Cynic Who Thinks He

Reflections of "A Cynic Who Thinks He
Knows About Women and Men,.
Most men believe in ghosts; lots of
them live with them.
When woman has a child that's bad,
she says he is mischievOus.
The man who chooses his wife for the
way she looks on the street is not the worst
kind of fool.
The best thing in electricity is that it
will make women quit complaining of
how the gas kills their plants
An engagement ring is one girl puts
on her finger as to show OFF before the
other girls. a wedding ring is one wom-
an puts on TO remember something by and
then forgets what it was
Praying for a husband doesn't take the
place of watching him.
Men who think they know too much TO
get married generally don't know enough.
Some women don't dress for their hus
bands for fear they might not feel at home.
Men would have more respect for babies
if they believed they really understood the
language women talk TO them.
Tailor made gowns may have lots of
style about them, but the average man
likes the woman best who wears something
soft and fussy around her neck.
When you hear girl talk about her
boudoir, she has generally rugged up a
corner of her bedroom with some sofa
cushions and japanese lantern.
Married women and bachelors waste q
lot of good time feeling sorry for each 9th
or.
There never was homely old maid who
would admit that no man ever kissed her.
A good many men who wear nightshirts
always speak of their pyjamas because they
think il sounds sweller
Most mems ideal of wealth is to be able

every pair of trousers they have.
When a girl tells you how nice another
girl thinks you are, you can tell just how
much she thinks of you herself by the way
she says it.
The first month a man is married he
says ''my wife, every ten minutes. After
he has been married five years nobody
would ever know he had a wife.-New

A Full Length Radiograph.

A New York physician has been able
TO make q photograph OF the entire
form of woman. The negative, life
size, taken of her has been Just de.
veloped and is nearing perfect. The
subject is FIVE feet four inches in
height. The film, or plate, is six feet
long by three feet wide, and on it
stands out clearly and distinctly the
framework of bone OF the woman's
body, with all its joints; the casing of
flesh, indications of rings, bracelets,
hairpins, shoes and garters and, even
more interesting yet, lines and mark
ings that show the folds and texture
of her dress Just as it rested when she
lay on the film with the Crookes tube
suspended on bracket over her. 1t
took half an hours exposure to make
this negative, and the result gives the
body in perfect detail, except that the
hips are very faint, and the film needs
to be held in certain lights 10 make
them plainly vislble. The film was
stretched on board lying ON the floor
and was covered with three layers oI
black paper to prevent ordinary day
light striking it.
Flat upon 1t the subject was laid,
upon her back, fully and completely
clothed, care being taken that even
her dress covered her shoes. Four and
half feet above the floor, suspended
over the subject on q long.armed
bracket and midway between her head
and feet, was the Crookes tube. 1t was
an induction current of high poten'
tiallty that fed this.
