REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.)
No man ought to get married until
he is old enough to know better.
One of the ideas a girl clings to long
est is that she can do anything with
man with her eyes.
Most men fall in love about a dozen
times when they are boys, three times
when they are at college, and after that
as often as they can get chance.
The woman that talks about finding
an affinity is generally the one who
can't find a man.
A woman always acts suspicious of
every new man her husband gets to
know till she has met his wife.

nue.. will have every reason beside the
Maine, Manila and other things to
remember" Monday. That terrific
bolt of lightning which flashed out
while the sun shone about 1850 o'clock
Monday found it's way into her rosi-
dence. No fatality resulted but the es-
cape of the household is miraculous.
The bolt struck in the gable end near
the frame of bedroom window, tore
the frame and windows out, ripped
some of the siding off and passed on
in Striking the chimney it overthrew
the part outside and going on down
tossed all the stove pipes down and
twisted the range in the kitchen partly
around. The whole building seemed to
culver with the shock and dust fell
from every crevice.
Mrs. Lowe, her four children and a
bnarder were at dinner at the time.
The food was destroyed by the dust.
Mrs. Lowe was rendered almost totally
deaf and is still unable to hear prop
crly One son, William, was thrown to
the floor and another son, John, who
was standing. was struck on the nose
by flying piece of plaster and cut
slightly.
The others were only frightened and
stunned by the shock. In the house
neNt about 40 feet away, and occupied
by Mr.. Moraa and family, plaster fell
in every room. Directly opposite Mrs.
loves is the residence of Richard
Philbn. His three children were play
ing about thu room and all were hurled
to the floor, Mrs. Philbin thought they
We're all killed.
No fire resulted and the damage done
can be easily repaired. The persons re-
siding in the range of the bolt are all
thankful for their narrow escape from
death or injury.
