Reflections OF a Bachelor.

1t takes two to make a quarrel, unless
one of them is Il woman
y girls pocketbook is about like her
heart, only it won't hold as many SAM
pies.
If men didn't believe that women were
better than they are. they woula believe
that they We're worse.
After a woman has had one baby, she
looks pityingly at all the old bachelors
she knows; after she has had three or
four. she begins to wonder if they aren
looking pityingy at her.
The woman who marries a man to
make him better. two years afterward is
generally putting in her time taking care
OF her complexion.
Every love has infatuation in it, but
every infatuation hasn't love in it.
A woman is never quite so happy as
when she can be happy in a sad way
A girls idea of politics is generally
shaped ike something to beat eggs with.
Lots wife probably looked back to
make sure she hadn't forgotten to lock
the back door.
When a girl is so anxious for a man
that she VIII take up with anything. she
is said by the women to be very "sus-
ceptible."
The less ideas a girl has on the cur
rency question the sweeter she is.
"A woman can generally explain every
thine except her explanation.
No girl who can afford to wear lace
pettlcoats is in very great danger of be-
coming a prude
A woman's idea of real pleasure is to
have two kilograms come in succession
when the family next door are all sitting
out on the porch and they don't speak.
The reason why most married men
don't go out more without their wives IS
because they always hate so to be led by
themselves around roomful of people
and introduced ito them all-New York

SHE NEEDED BLOOD.
APale, Tired Girl Made Rosy
And Healthy.

Thousands o. women are to be met on every

The remedy for weak and ailing women Is
DR.. Clarke's Red-Iron-Pills. The iron In theli
composition is gentle but effective tonic. II

the same time purifies and enriches the blood,
SO that good health and long life is bound
to be the result.
Mrs. Manson Peabody, Honeoye, N. T.,
writes
81 needed blood; was pale and run down
The little blood did have did not circulate
MY limbs were quite numb during the night
and In the day time my mind seemed to nc nj
times almost a blank. My blood must have
been in a very bad condition.

A Joyiul Home Comina.

Dear Union Signal:-The many friends
Of Mrs. Mary III. Hunt will rejoice with
her that her son. Capt. Alfred r. Hunt,
commander of Battery b of the Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers. has returned in safety
from Porto Rico, his post in the war with
Spain. The city of Pittsburg. the home
of this battery, went almost wild with
JOY in welcoming the return OF their pet
military organization without the loss OF
man.
Composed of young men from the best
families of one of the largest industrial
centers in this country. the hardships and
perils these young men heroically en-
dured in the struggle for liberty for an
other race is evidence that prosperity IN
our country has not brought decline n
the elements of character that go TO
make heroic defenders of human freedom.
When they enlisted last April these
young soldiers went from homes of COM
fort and luxury ITO camp on the snow
covered ton of one of the Allegheny
mountains. From that cold, wet expos
ure they were sent TO the VIGOROUSLY
unhygienic conditions of the semi-tropi-
cal Chickamauga camp. and after weeks
Of endurance there. were taken to Porto
Rico on the overcrowded. stuffy cattle
cane-swamps, and at last to face the en-
envy with guns all loaded. only waiting
the command to fire, when a reathess
rider shouted. The war is over, the
Hungry and with nothing to eat that
day, they had to comfort themselves
with the thought that Battery B had the
distinction of having loaded the last gun
on the Western Hemisphere in the Span
ish-American war.
Then came the time of waiting for
transportation, and another unspeakable
voyage, home. But they all come: NOT
one of their number was left behind to
fill a soldiers grave on that foreign
shore. There had been sickness among
their number-that was inevitable from
their surroundings-bu this battery, a
Pittsburg paper said, had mo canteen
because the captain would not allow II
and there were not men enough in the
organization who drank to support one"
understand and obey, as best they could
under the conditions in which they were
placed, other laws of health. Imprisoned
with alcohol, they could resist or throw
off other poisons which they could not
avoid. and therefore. with the blessing Of
to come home.
The soldiers in home camps in the
North, who took typhoid fever from the
cool well near the vault of the farmhouse
where members of the family had been
sick with the same disease, point with
CHASTITY significance to one lesson of this
war which is emphasized by the condi-
ton of our Southern camps, viz, the
great need of more universal knowledge
of all hygienic laws among all our people.
that require the study of hygiene by all
pupils in all our public schools and the
goth century American will show the
world that he can if he must, not only hit
the mark every time with bullet or she'll
but can as well take such care of his
dier's worst enemy since the beginning OF
time, the diseases of the camp, the
march apd the field; -

Our New Tropical Possessions.

When the new order of things is estab-
llshed in the Philippine Islands, there is
likely to be a great rush to Uncle Sam S
latest possessions. There will be a
scramble for wealth similar to that
which occurred when the Klondike gold
fields were discovered. No matter what
business man is engaged in, he thinks
more of his purse than of his health, but
wealth is worthless withost good health
