REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR


A woman talks about her intuition be-
cause she has got to have some way to
account for thinking thoughts upside
down.
The time man begins to love his
wife the hardest is, about the time he
discovers she doesn't love him so much
as he thought she did.
The difference between a man and a
woman when they do wrong Is that he
doesn't care. while she insists on find
Ing an excuse for 1t.
When woman imagines a man look
ing at photograph of her she always
puts on most fetching smile. hoping
some way the photograph Will do the
same thing.
When woman comes home and says
there was nothing in a shop worth
looking at she means the crowd was
so small there was nothing worth get
ting into scrimmage for.-New York
Press.

The advertising business Is good
barometer of the condition Of trade.
Remington Brothers. one Of the leading
newspaper agencies of the country,
find their business increasing SO much
that they have taken larger quarters,
and removed to the New York Life In
surance Building. No. 3i6 Broadway.
This Is said to be the finest office build
ing in the world. being 400 feet long.
and built OF white marble. There Is,
perhaps. no other agency that has sue
ceeded in getting SO many OF the best
advertisers OF the country for patrons
as Remington Brothers. The secret
Of their success Is that they produce re-
suits. Advertising to-day is a science,
and without the use OF proper methods
and papers large sums OF money are
wasted. Remington Brothers are us
ing methods and newspapers that give
advertisers results. Naturally, enter
prislng firms need the services OF an
agency that can plan advertising and
make it successful.

Statesmen and the Correspondents.
There Is a great deal OF speculation
regarding the gathering Of distinguish
ed Republican leaders, including the
President, Speaker Reed, some mem
bers Of the cabinet and others at Jekyl

The adjournment of the California

OF the Delaware assembly under similar
circumstances, and the probability OF
the Pennsylvania aggregation OF fac
tons doing likewise. creates situation
which is anything but agreeable from a
party standpoint. In each state the
failure is due to the lack of q patriotic
endeavor of certain factional leaders to
compromise differences and agree on @

thing else. were counted Of higher value
than the necessity Of having the state

Congress by its quota OF senator's.
1t Will not embarrass the Republican
majority In the senate to have these

Tho Worlds Gold Product,

The production Of gold in the United
States and In foreign countries seems to
be a subject oc which few people give
much study. which fact accounts for
the small amount Of knowledge OF what
the world is doing on this line among
some Of our thoughtiess political theo-
rlsts who contend that gold is scarce
and rapidly exhausting. The CONNER
cial and Financial World, of New York,
publishes some facts and figures which
may reveal enough to correct some i'm
perfect ideas that are prevalent.
The figures are taken from official sta
tistics, and are interesting and reliable.
They show, for instance, that the
United States is the greatest gold-pro-
ducing country in the world. and that
its production Is constantly increasing.
In the calendar year OF 1896, the total
production In this country was S53.O0o,-
600. in twenty-five states and territories,
California, Colorado. South Dekota and
Montana being the larger producers.
100000 and $l4,o00O00. respectively In
California and Colorado, to $4,000. 900 and
s5,000.O00 in South Dakota and Montana,
the figures being in round numbers.
The other states and territories range
from s2.600,0o0 In Arizona. down to as
low as 5000 In each OF the states OF
Maryland and Tennessee. At that time
the Klondikc was doing nothing phe-
nomenal and the production of 1896 was
but s2,o55.o0O.
These are the latest official figures,
though estimates of the last two years
show big Increase. In the details Of
this country's gold and silver produce
ton. the records made by some OF the
individual gold and silver mines since
they were opened UP years ago are
enormous. but 1t Is unnecessary to re-
peat them here.
We remarked above that the worlds
product Of gold Is constantly increasing.
which Is true. but comparison shows
that the Increase In the United States
was. In 1896. three times In percentage
that OF the remainder Of the world.
The publication above mentioned notes
that In the year 1896. while the increase
In the worlds product was eight per
cent. the increase in the United States
was twenty-five per cent. and declares
that "the extent OF collaborating terri
tory In the United States Is so great.

Wherein Woman is Superior to Man.


Atchison Globe: In three things only
are women superior to men: they are
superior to men rs nurses, rs teachers
of young children. and no man can
trim hat equal to woman. In all
other respects men are the superiors OF
women. The best cooks are men; the
best housekeepers are men. Although
nearly every girl takes piano lessons
and studies music. all the great piano
players and musicians are men. These
facts have been demonstrated by
thousands OF years of experience. Wo-
men who are trying to become lawyers,
and who imagine that they can divide
up the worlds material rewards with
men, should remember that they carry
n serious handicap: nature intended
TINT women should travel In certain
paths. and will not reward them In 9TH
er directions. Women are natural
nurses and natural teachers. They
should be natural housekeepcrs and
cocks. theT would be IL they didn't
fritter away 80 much Of their time in
running after foolish things.

The Japanese are discussing the adj
visibility Of adopting the English lam
guage, or that recourse be had to the
English alphabet In their own language,
in order to rid themselves of the COM
plexities OF their own language, which
Is worse than anything OF the kind In
the world. 1t is said that to read liter
ature in japanese under the present
system would require the learning OF
many thousand characters. each with
many variations. Since Japan Is ad-
vanclng along other lines, and getting
in the procession Of progressive civiliza-
ton, she can do no better than to adopt
the Roman letters. at least, If not the
English language. That would be u
long step forward.

When the End viii Come.

Some significant information appear
cd in the Associated Press dispatches
from Manila, published in yesterdays
morning papers, which confirms prevI-
Gus reports that the FilipInos are weak
ening In their allegiance to their brutal
leaders, and If left to themselves would
be glad to have the Americans assume
control and give them protection. These
facts are found In the statement that
Filipino prisoners declare that the SOL
diers OF the insurgent army are weak
ening. and that the generous treatment
Of native prisoners by the Americans Is
having powerful influence on the SOL
diers.
This bears out what has been all
along contended that the leaders are the
ones to be dealt with vigorously and
effectively. 1t is essential to peace.
The natives can be easily managed. and
will be glad OF the relief afforded them,
when the leaders are brought to terms.
1t seems to be the idea conveyed In the
official dispatches. as well as in the re-
ports OF the conservative and fair
minded press correspondents.
