Then the total wiping of New York

This, by the way, was to take place in

Reflections OF a Bachelor.

No woman has any beauty TO brag Of.
Genius is talent with its sleeves
rolled way up.
As general thing, woman IS wise
enough To pretend to believe her nus
band when h tells her she was his first
love.
1t is probable that no man ever got
up to light the gas in the dark Ia get
something for his wife without bump
ing himself on something that WASH
there when they went to bed.
Every woman has an idea that she
can make her eyes flash" when she
wants 10.
Even in the face OF a great loss no
life can be wholly bitter that has
its beautiful memories.
When people think the world is too
small ii is generally because they
think themselves too big.
1t costs a lot more to get divorce
than it does to get married, but it's
generally worth the difference.
womans idea Of j real romance is
a girl who waved her hand at a man
She didn't know, ana in three days
they We're married.
Most men never have half as clear an
idea what they said when they stood
up To get married as they have of what
they wanted to say.
The first thing a girl generally says
right after she has been proposed to. is
that she is perfectly sure that no man
could ever know just how she feels.
\ woman is as curious about coming
back to a subject she knows she has
no business to talk about as the tip of
your tongue is when you have broken
one of your teeth off and left a Jagged
point on it.-New York Press.

The custom of favoring newly
welded people with showers of rice
and bombardments of old shoes is
firmly established, and pleasant enough
when kept within proper bounds. But
isn't there Il tendency to carry these
attentions altogether too far, in some
cases? For instance, at Kennebunk
the other day the bride and groom
tried to get away without the usual
attentions. They had a close carriage
carry them out on the Biddeford road
and thence by way of the Ross road to
West kennebunk where they boarded
the lis train for Boston But their
enterprising friends We're too vigilant
for this strategy to succeed. Follow
ing in another team they intercepted
the bridal party at the station, deluged
them with rice. boarded the train with
them and accompanied them to North
Berwick, whittier another party of six
of the friends were fastening over the
| Western division of the Boston &
Maine. This party also succeeded in
| intercepting the train and there was
another period of rice and uproar.
