the health authorities of the city to which
he sends his milk and beef with authority
to satisfy themselves that the herd which
produces this milk is free from disease,
aud that the milk itself in the process of
production and delivery is free from liza

accomplish more for the permanent and
increasing prosperity of dairy farming
than is possible in any other way. He
must know that the market is crammed to
fitness with every description imaginable
of artificial foods for infants and invalids,
some of which have proven themselves to
be fair substitutes for cows milk, even
when the latter is good and pure. When

of the existence of what might be
called the spinsters' Eldorado; or, the
bachelor girls Golconda. In the man
ufacturing towns of New England it
ought to be received with delight, be-
cause of the rumored indisposition of
the young men Of that locality to as
sumo matrimonial responsibilities, and
a consequent increase in the number Of
unmarried women.
Recent statistics on the marriage
subject show that in every large city
there has been decrease in marriages.
Some theorists have explained the
matter by attributing it to the hard
times and the dislike of young people
to venture upon a wedding with the
certainty before them of facing all
kinds of deprivations and economies.
Others have explained it by condemn
ing woman's extravaganza or mans
selfshness.
Whatever the cause may be, there
is no doubt of the decrease of eligible
marrying men, Notwithstanding the
fact that there are 100000 more men
in the country than women. That the
men are more to blame for it than the
women is a self-evident fact
Bachelor life today is so pleasant
that men are growing less inclined to
surrender it for the pleasures Of the
domestic hearth. Clubs are so plen-
tiful that man can depend upon them
to amuse him in his spare hours, while
bachelor apartments are perfected to
such degree that the occupant enjoys
more luxuries and conveniences than
he could afford to have in his own
home.
A man with $4,000 Or s., 5000 a year is
fairly comfortable as a bachelor,
whereas as the head of a household
he is continually engaged IN the des-
perate work of stretching the ends to
make them meet. AS a single man he is
something of fugre in society, if he
is ambitious in that direction, and re-
ceives as many invitations as he
cares for. AS married man with

THE POETS DILEMMA.

I've an ending for poem
That cannot seem to start;
1t would please a Hoosier poet
To the bottom of his heart.
I have tried and tried to work it,
But it's clearly no avail;
It's the drumming of the partridge
And the whistle of the quail.
You can fancy how he'd take it,
And he'd marshal all the birds
For their yearly journey southwark
(How he'd find the fittest wordsD
And he'd say that they were flying
Over hill and over dale,
To the drumming of the partridge
And the whistle of the quail.
But for me the lines are useless,
So I'm going to take my gun,
And I'll hasten to the woodland
It's a duty to be done.
There I'll quickly make an ending
AS to start [ seem to fail
To the drumming of the partridge
And the whistle of the quail.

NAPOLEON WEEPS.

During the struggle and the rout at
waterloo the emperor waited for his
troops at Quatre Bras. He had
stopped in clearing of the wood of
Bossu by fire kindled by some grena
d1ers of the guard. A wounded officer.
fleeing along the road, recognized the
emperor by the freight.
Napoleon stood with his arms
crossed upon his breast, motionless as
a statue, his fixed eyes turned toward
Waterloo No news had been received
from Groucy, they thought that he
must be seriously menaced. The en-
peror ordered Soult to send Groucy a
dispatch informing him that the army
had retreated, and telling him to fall
back upon Basse-Sambre.
Soldiers of all branches of the SER
vice passed Quatre Bras, running along
the road and across the fields. Com
mandant- Baudus passing on the road
with other fugitives, saw the little
group of the imperial staff lowering
about the campfire; he approached
them
The emperor asked him if he had not
seen some corps which was not entirely
oisorganized. Not far from Quatre
Bras Baudus had passed the fifth
lancers, commanded by Col. JacQuemi-
not; the men of this regiment were
still marching in order, and so Baudus
told the emperor.
GO, quick!" said the emperor '"Tell
him to stop at Quatre Bras. Even now
he is late, and the enemy, finding that
point occupied, will probably STOP"
Baudus set out at gallop, but met
by the fire of men stationed in the first
houses of the public square Of the vii
lage, he went back to the emperor and
begged him to recede ''since his posi-
ton was no longer covered by any
one
AS he said these words he looked al
the emperor. Napoleon was silently
weeping for his lost army. Upon his
mournful face, white with the pallid
tint of wax, there was no longer any
thing of life but tears.

that income he cannot keep within
sight Of even the fringe of society and
it's doings..
Therefore, he does not marry; at
least, not until he gets to be 35 or so,
and, as he then marries a girl several
years his junior, the girls that grew up
with him are left
But there is another side to it, which
places the crime upon women. The
defenders of masculinity claim that the
reason he doesn't marry is that the
woman of today requires many things
which her mother never heard of, ana
if she doesn't get them she is unhappy.
She expects her husband to supply
her with every luxury that her fathers
home boosted of; in fact, to begin her
married life where her parents leave
off, without taking into consideration
the fact that it took a lifetime for her
father to establish such home. Not
only this, but she expects to maintain
all of her social Connections, to enter
tain as freely as before, and, in short,
to live in way impossible with an in
come of less than $4,000.
The widening of the scope of wo-
mems wants is, therefore, held respon-
sible for the condition of affairs, but as
this can only refer to the fortunate
classes, the commonplace women, with
less exalted matrimonial ideas, are al
SO sufferers, and without being III any
way to blame.
These latter are the kind of women
that Jim Roberts says ought to go to
Klondike "None of your fancy af-
fairs, with silk shoes, who can'tdo any
thing but look pretty, had better try
it; they would drop dead on the way.
Good, healthy, strong women, with
stacks of hustle and common sense,
are the kind to win out; women who
can enjoy life without white and
gold boudoir, and who won't faint at
the sight of work. That the kind );

twists and tumbles and starts and
screams and clippings and bowings,
the eyes of the audience wandered
back to where painted the sad-eyed
monkeys in their striped cotton

disapproval and a settled melancholy

A PICNIC IN JAPAN.

A picnic in Japan is a treat that
does not fall in the way of many
Americans; but it was not strange
that the children of an American
COnsul-General at Yokohama should
have been invited to attend one; nor,
perhaps, that it should be described
in st. Nicholas. One of it's jolliest in
cidents was the appearance of a troupe
of rowing acrobats, who planted
themselves close by and promptly
began their performance. 1t con-
sisted of four boy-tumbIers, mere fat
babies, whose bones were evidently of

sition show drew near, and was re-

this time the theatrical company was
