WHY THEY ARE BACHELORS.
One Hundred Reasons ms stated by
English BachcIors why They
Never Married.

The writer was allowed to look at the
book of membership of the largest
bachelor club in the Midlands.
Each member stated after his sigma
ture why he joined the club; and, as no
one is allowed to become a member un-
ill he is 30 years old, these reasons
should be studied by the other fellows
sisters, says Stray Stories.
Taking random 100, the writer found
that 30 members were still suffering
from the wounds of jilting; 20 owned
that they couldn't stand the idea of
having some woman always near them
who had right to continually talk; 12
considered that women got in the way
of mems work. and never helped their
husbands; eight feared the continual in
reference of mothers-in-aw, nine con-
sidered that no man should ally himself
with a creature who spent her time in
gossiping and wearing new clothes;
seven could not find their ideal woman;
six dreaded the noise of children; five,
who had joined at the same time, had
given their lives up to trying to discover
what good women had ever done in the
world, and three owned candidly that
they did not-taking into consideration
the worry of marriage, the greater
amount of work the husband had to d o,
the chance Of not marrying the right
girl and the risk of having their gray
hairs brought in sorrow to the grave by
the doings of their offspring-conside
the game worth the candle.
1t only now remains for some bach
eloress club to state their reasons for
blessed singleness, and the reasons may
be removed.

AMERICAS LOCOMOTIVES.
Wonderful Engines Are Ready for
Any Emergency Which May
Confront Them.

The American locomotive engineer
deems it advisable to design his engine
with large margin of power. If an
express engine is designed to take 300
ton load at 80 miles an hour, and if that
load should happen to be increased to
800 tons, the locomotive is still expected
to be able to take it and keep time, and
usually does so. Such, at any rate, is
the experience of such an impartial and
level-hcaded observer as Mr.. W. NJ. Ac-
worth. If an American express be late
at one point of its journey the engine
is expected to make up the lost time
even If the load be larger than usual.
And, again, this is generally done, says
the Engineering Magazine.
But if an English engine is given q
single coach above its prescribed load
the driver at once insists upon having Il
pilot" and commonly he gets one. Or
should the weather be bad, with strong
side wind or a slippery rail, he demands
an assisting engine, and is accorded one,
as matter of course. Obviously this ap-
plies especially TO the case of single
wheelers, which are so largely used on
some English railways because their
range of power is much more SHARPLY
limited by adverse conditions than is
the case with coupled engines. But in
either case it seems indisputable that
a smaller range of power is given to an
English locomotive than to an Ameri-

face, but some way he felt that this New
Years Eve was not what she wished. o,
was she in trouble, too? He had half
mind to 60 to her; the seat directly behind
her was providentially empty; he could
whisper Marie over the back of her seat
when his courage warranted 1t.
At the next stop he took advantage OF
the stir of the passengers and slipped into
the coveted groove. Blessed privilege! lie
had not been near, SO near her for years,
and his heart was on fire. When he could
wait no longer, he whispered over the bar
rier: "Marie"
She looked up, surprised and startled.
After the confusion had left her lovely
face, she gave him her hand gngerly and
asked in strained tones: How came you
here, Mr.. Reyburn?"
II could not help it" he confessed, flush
ing, but looking straight at her. Il wanted
to be near you once more. You don't know
how miserable l am without you"
There was world of emotion in the un-
dertone, but he kept bravely on:
Il came down to Rockland for nothing
else than that / might get glimpse of you.
/ felt it would comfort me to ride home in
the same coach-to night of all nights"
He stopped and looked at her in such pit
iful, hungry hearted way. 1t was all out
now, this confession of his. He meant to
make it at the risk of everything before his
heart failed him-and he had done so.
Of course she could do what she pleased
with it, and him, too; he had staked and
would win, or lose, all. Putting his elbow on
the barrier and leaning little toward her,
he waited for her to speak. And her face
was a study. Presently she gasped out:
"Then you aren't to be married to-nightY'
The interrogation snapped the last thread
holding Leigh Reyburn's great love in re
serve.
Marie, darling! Could you-did you think
%, Heaven as if | could love anyone but
you'll o, Marie!"
The whiteness of his face was terrible to
see; but it all dawned upon her at once.
"I-I-O, Leigh! she put out both her
| hands, and two great tears stole down her
checks to finish the sentence more eloquent

God knew how famished of heart he was!
He would take the down train, get off at
Rockaud wnen she changed cars for Glad

riding home in the same coach with her:
and even that would be a blessed comfort

pulling on his gloves.
Scarcely had he settled himself in the

AT Rockland he had only a few minutes
to wait between trains, and already the

Purchasing his ticket, he ensconced himself

THE GLAD NEW YEAR.
its Advent Is Marked by Various
Customs In Many Lands.

NN ORE attentions is paid to New Years

u Ia ton, than in any other city in the
United States. The state levee at the
white house is but the beginning of tho
calling that continues throughout the aft
ernoon and well into the night in official
and private houses. In fact, the social
season is formally inaugurated on New
Years day. 1t is grand rallying day, and
men call then who never emerge from their
shell again during the year. Lists are
published in the newspapers OF the houses
where receptions will be held, with the
names of the assisting women. The latter
often attract more callers than the hostess,
and newly arrived families are on the look
out for popular women for their receptions
The affairs are conducted with lavish south

viands--real southern egg-nog or bowls Of

formula, an heirloom in the family, is
served. 1t is a gala day for Washington, and
it is well it comes but once year.
New Years day is made much of in
Europe, and in some countries its celebra'
ton is on more elaborate scale than
Christmas. Gifts are exchanged with reck-
less abandon, recalling the days OF teudaI-
ism, when every landlord presented his ten
ant with fat capon, An orange stuck with
cloves was the common gift OF poor people.
Among the rich, gloves were popular pres
ent, and often a sum of money, called glove
money, served as a substitute. When pins
were invented they took the place OF gloves,
! and every woman was proud or her coIiec'
| tion of pins made from thorns, bone, silver
! gold or steel. The expression, pin money
| was originally used to designate the money
| often presented in lieu of the pins for their
| purchase. Under good Queen Bess the
! custom of giving presents on New Year
+ was at its high water mark, and the mos;
eXtravagant packages were distributed an
! onymously with no inscription but verse
| expressing greetings
According to an old superstition, onei
luck for the year is dependent on the com
! plexion of the first man who calls, If hi
| is a blonde fate will be kind, but if
dark-compleXoned man steps over thu
threshold first, sickness, trouble and finan
cial disaster are apt to step with him. %
firmly was this superstition implanted il
the mind of an elderly woman that sh
made arrangements every year by whicl
her first caller was sure to be of igh
complexion.
The holiday revels in England end witt
Twelfth Night, In America they ar
drawn to a close with the New Yea
celebration. The stripping of the Christ
mas tree, which properly takes place Ney
Years Eve, is frequently made the ea
cuse for jolly party. There is yer
likely to be a package on the tree TO
each one present, containing joke that wi
be as good-natured as it is amusing.

But l have sworn it," he said "and it
would be perjury to think of her now!"
But suddenly gleam of JOY lightened his
face.
"By Jove!" he cried, this resolution is
rull and void! There is a technical error in
it! l have succumbed to the inevitable
force of habit, and dated it 1899, instead OF
1900! Anita, my darling, | am free!"
With a cry OF JOY he coiled the sworn
