Reflections of a Bachelor.

Women have more ways of loving
than man, but men have the most
love to love with.
The only thing that can cure man
of love is to have it bad enough.
Love, with woman, has no rival.
It is always either the biggest thing
or the smallest thing in life.
Down in her heart every woman
thinks man ought to begin propos-
ing to her by apologizing for daring
to fall in love with her.
The world will forgive a woman for
everything except what she can't
help.
After all, love is nothing but a
game of solitaire between you and
yourself.
When a man leaves his heart in
the hands of woman he always finds
it again with callous spots on it.
When girl lends a book. to a man
to read she always marks the things
in it that she thinks look the deep
est.
Tell man a woman loves him and
the first question he asks is, ''Who?"
Tell woman man loves her and
the first question she asks is,

AUNT CHARETTE.

They had raided Aunt Charette In
answer to repeated complaints from
the respectable element in Fort Kent
the officers had come up there and had
swooped on the liquor dealers. And
chief among the liquor dealers was
local wholesaler. She was thrifty,
was Aunt Charette. She had credit.
She could roll in $500 worth of "mor-
son." or white rum at one time. The
smaller dealers up and down the ST.
John from ST. Francis to Frenchville
found it more convenient to buy Of
her.
Gold beads and black silk dress
o. Sundays did Aunt Charette wear.
Broad was she, with amplitude Of
waist and scarcity of lap. She sat all
day long in her little sitting room and
interrupted her knitting only long
enough to answer calls at the door,
Sometimes the caller would be a man
from Conner with gray wool trousers
and peaked cap. Another would be a
l.
under the seat of his narrow buck
board.
They told her whether they wanted
morson or cherry rum or @wheesk' or
alcohol. Then Aunt Charette went
out in the little dark leanto shed, rat
tied the funnel and clinked the jugs
and at last came pudging back with a
broad smile between her big gold ear
rings.
And she always knew whether to
give or refuse credit All sorts of
queer accounts had she-scattered all
over the countryside.
Uncle Charette was very silent
partner of the firm. He used to tell
the priest that he had tried and tried
to induce Aunt Charette to give up the
business of selling liquor. Still Uncle
Charette had discovered years before
that he would not have to go into the
woods winters any more; that there
was always spare change for him to

Louisville Woman Has Erected Cot

Mrs. George Leave of Louisville is a

Now you and | and all the rest of us
know that this isn't the way the pro-

it isn't the way the authorities like to
have it operate. And then, too, there
was an old woman, who had never been
away from home in all her life, who
had grown-up children, who had knit
ed in that little kitchen there in the
village of Fort Kent and had looked
out through the little window at the
passersby until she had become one of
the local landmarks. There wasn't one
person in the vilalge who wanted to
see her go down to Houlton in that
manner.
But there she and Uncle Charette sat
without looking at each other. Every
one knew that Aunt Charette had
money enough to pay the fine Uncle
Charette's name on the bond would
keep her at home.
But Aunt Charette would not answer
a word. And all Uncle Charette would
say was:
"She think she batter go. She'll be

SEVERITY OF EARTHQUAKE
GREATER THAN FORMERLY.
ARE ALSO MORE NUMEROUS
Record of These Destructive Distur-
Dances in the United States the
Past Thirteen Years-Compariso
With Early Records-Some Cata-
cIysms of History.

One of the scientific facts which
does not seem to be popularity real
lied is that earthquakes are rapidly
increasing in frequency and severity.
While it may, no doubt, be true that
there have not been as carefully kept
records of the earthquakes which oc-
Cured previous to the Christian era
as since, still the fact remains that
within the last few years this in
crease continues in an increasing
ratio, and cannot be reasoned away
as fact.
Az far as the records go, during the
1876 years between 100 B. G. and
A. p. there are but sixteen earth
quakes reported, or one in every liz
years. During the period between
A. D. sc and 1850, a period OF LISA
years, there were 204 earthquakes, or
an average of one to every eight
years. This means fourteen times
more than the preceding period. The
period between 1850 to 1865, but fif-
teen years, there were fifteen earth
quakes, or an average OF one to every
year. From 1865 to 1868, a period of
three years, there were fifteen earth
Quakes, or an average of five to each
year.
Professor Fuchs states that in the
year 1885 there occurred ninety-seven
earthquakes, and that during the year
1886 there were 104. In the month Of
January, 1869. alone there were
eleven earthquakes, two of them great
and destructive. In 1868 the estimate
is that 100000 persons persisted by
earthquakes. Chambers Encyclope-
dia states that sit is estimated that
100000 people have persisted by
earthquakes" Commenting on some
of these facts the Christian States
man of July II, 1875, said: ''The con-
tinual occurrence and great severity
of earthquakes have distinguished
the period in which we are now living
above all others since the records Of
such phenomena began to be gen
orally perceived" The great earth
quake of 1868 was the one in which
the resulting tidal wave carried the
United States steamer Wateree over
pile inland at africa, Chile, then
Peru. 1t is calculated that over 10000
persons persisted in South America in
this earthquake. The whole coast of
Peru, from Callao to Inquique, was
destroyed, and there was loss Of life
on the coast as far south as Valpar-
also. The late earthquakes in Japan,
whose effects were felt in the Phil
ippines, and the severe earthquake in
the East Indies are matters of very
recent history.
Here in the United States we have
not been free. The severe shocks OF
1865 and 1868 in California and the
more recent one of 1886, when $5,OOO,.
900 worth of property was destroyed
in and around Charleston, S. c.,
should lead us to consider the ques-
ton Of earthquake probabilities in our
architecture.
One who has been a resident of
South America at any time, or even
of Europe, and especially in view Of
the facts just stated, it is 225, or an
average of the first five years of 23.f
and of 45 per year for the second
period.
