Reflections OF a Bachelor.

| III jealousy We're to die out hell would
/ be depopulated.
Nowadays n woman IL content to
brag about her grandmother cooking.
\ curious thing about a woman Is
that she can feel absolutely honest
about her dishonesty
1t would be about az sensible for
men to try To liv" up 10 their big feet
| like women DO to their noses when
they are tipped up.
woman brags most about the
| brightness Of her boy, next about her
| husbands fine mind ana next about
| how little she eats.
| 1t is better to have loved and loved
| In vain than never 10 have been fooled
at all.
To be truly happy one must b. on
the top rung Of comfort ana plenty.
with all his friends at the bottom.
\ woman's idea 81 ideal love is the
way she would love the man she loves
II she did not love him in the way she
loves him.
People who are in love can make
themselves miserable when they ar"
| together bemnaning time when they
We're miserable because they We're not
together.
II You want a girl Ia fall in love
With man. first tell her that h is
very wicked
a woman IL like n telephone box-a
good thing 70 stay away from when il
thundcrs.
II David hadn't hit Goliath the first
shot he would probably have insisted
that the sun was in his eyes.
About half the average mans pleas
ure in life consists in realizing how
miserable other folk are.
Everything a man has is his wife's
property ana everything a woman
knows IL her husbands.
When n young woman sets out to
shock man she is unlucky if she
doesn't get shocked herself.
1t is almost always easier for
woman IL IKE a man she doesn't trust
than oarnst n man she likes.
If they We're named anything else
woman would have just as queer a
look in her face when she talked about
her legs-u
Every IdtS STORY u iildu hears IL
acts like it was old to him and every
woman like it was new to her, and both
are making believe.
The difference between a woman and
n cat is that when you tease the eat
YOU know she'll scratch you. but when
it's woman you never know whether
she'll kiss You or tear your eyes out.
We mostly repent only when we
have to.
Children are the links that hold
many a weak marriage chain to-
gether.
If man could take a new wife
every time he wanted a divorce prob
ably he would never want to do either.
To fail in love with woman YOU
can't marry is safe enough. but it's
even more uncomfortable than being
married to a woman you can't love.
1t is a saying that if girls saw more
of men before getting engaged there
would be more happy marriages, but
probably there wouldn't be any mar
riages at all.
Anyway a mannish woman isn't as
bad as womaniSh man.
The woman who doesn't want her
husband to drink can drive him to il
nine times out of ten talking about it.
woman doesn't worry much over
her husbands not loving her if only
she feels sure he doesn't love any
other woman.
Once in a while you meet a woman
who can be sensible even over bust
ness matter. but it's because she really
isn't a woman.
The very woman who will admit that
she likes wicked men better than good
ones can't understand how men feel
the same way about whiskey.-New

THE CURE OF CONSUMPTION.
Hopeful Facts .EIicited at the Re
cent international CONGRESS.

One of the British delegates to the
recent international congress ON tuber.
culosis at Berlin gives the following
hopeful summary as the sense of the
congress with regard to the treatment
and cure of tuberculosis:
q. That tuberculous disease of the
bones and joints of the glands and skin
and abdomen, though dangerous, is not
incurable, and by the modern methods
of operative medicine is in most cases
successfully cured.
b. That tuberculosis of the lungs
(phthisis or consumption) is frequently
cured, and probably more often now
than formerly
@. That there is no specific drug
which has direct influence upon con-
sumption, but that many, both old and
new, have valuable effects upon it's
complications.
d. That abundant food, particularly
of fatty nature, and life in the open
ment than in the prevention of phthi-
sis, and that the hospitals and asylums
for providing these essentials. which
are now numerous in Germany, and
far from rare in England. Austria and
Hungary, France and the United States
are of essential value.
e. That the influence of climate,
altitude, temperature ana dryness OF
the air and soil, of travelling and of sea
voyages has been very differently es-
timated at different periods, and that
while each is in various degrees i'm
portant. popular opinion probably ex-
aggerates their power.
f. That the prospect of improved
success in the treatment OF tuberculosis
in general and of consumption in par
ticular by the advance of pathology
and the progress of surgery and medi-
cine, is hopeful one. almost as hope
full as that of limiting the spread Of
The disease by preventive measures.
