Reflections oil a Bachelor.

A man has a mind; a woman has a
brain.
Half the men you meet are suckers
and the other half are fishing for them.
As long as you keep looking at
woman's feet she can never look you in
the eye.
When a man is afraid to talk back
to his wife he generally gets even by
taking it out of other men that he
meets in his business.
Every man tells his friends he would
do lots of things if he We're in their
place which he wouldn't expect them
to do if they We're in his place.
Some girls who talk n lot about what
they would do if men tried to kiss them
couldn't get mosquito bite.
If a man knows a woman as well as
he ought to before he proposes to her,
he generally won't want to.
Every girl under 20 is dreadfully
proud Of the way little babies come 10
her when she holds out her hands to
them.
The best Christian in the world feels
like 4 sneak when he tries to teach his
little child that it ought to love God
better than it does its mother.
After one woman has called on
another woman she doesn't like. each
Of them thinks of some mean thing she
intended to say only she forgot it.
Half of the average woman's Eek
cuses" are only reasons"
People can never fall SO deep in love
that their ears won't stick out.
When a woman is in love she can
never pass a knock -kneed cat without
getting tears in her eyes.
You would think by the fuss some
to believe they had never been kissed
before except by their mothers.
The average girl knows a new coon
song for every verse she can repeat out
| of the Bible.
Every woman always knows what
every other woman she doesn't like
wore last Easter.
Most women are like April, when
they don't come in March, they gener-
ally come in May.
A college girl is girl that studies 50
hard all winter that her mother mas 70
get up and get her breakfast all sum
mer.
When a man says he can never be
happy without woman, it is a sign that
| he never tries.
A womans greatest horror is to be
found dead in some strange place with
| her old petticoat on.
When a man first kisses a widow he
never enjoys it much. because he al
ways feels sort of apologize.
I A cucumber man will marry an ice
| cream woman and then expect to get
along with her like Il Experimenting.
A man describes woman by her
face and man by his clothes; Wo-
man describes a man by his face and a
woman by her clothes.

The Boston "Traveler'' has news
which is important if true" Its spe-
cial correspondent at Washington says
he has learned that one of the objects
of the Boer peace ENJOYS. which had
been kept from public notice until he
dragged it forth. is to open the way to
extensive immigration of Beers into
this country, and settlement in certain
sections of the South. 1t is reported
that negotiations have been opened be
tween several railroads of that part of
the country, and the ENJOYS, with 4
view to securing large tracts Of farm
lands for purposes of colonization. 1t
is said that there are many Beers who
will rather leave their country than
live under British rule when the war
has reached its inevitable end, and
naturally they look with longing eyes
10 this land Of the free. This plan is
as Yet mostly in the air, or at least on
paper, but if it should be consummat-
ed, the result should be a benefit to
this country as well as to the immi-
grant Beers. The people of the South
African republics are sturdy indus
trious and honest; their less creditable
characteristics are largely the result of
the life which they have been leading.

this land they would probably soon ac-

they need to make them desirable cit

Even the Boston Herald begrudging-
" admits that no one had Il better
right to speak at the exercises at An
tietam on Memorial day than Presi-
dent Mckinley. 1t was there that, as
a boy, he distinguished himself for
bravery on the battlefield. and was
recommended for promotion for gal
lantry by his colonel, who was Ruther-
ford b. Hayes. According to the state
ment of the governor Of Maryland, this
is the first monument ever erected in

1t is related that DR.. Byron Porter

and they became somewhat separated.

terminated in an apparently genuine
recognition. said: why, how do you

Again the proposition is made to re-
turn the Southern battleilags, and
scarcely a word of protest is made.
This time it is proposed that when the
Grand Army has its coming national
encampment at Chicago, which the
President will attend, the flags be sent
back to their respective states in the
South. Only Il few years ago this
aroused bitter opposition.
but the war with Spain healed many old
wounds, and the veterans look at the
return of the captured flags in much
different light.

Biddeford Record: The effect of the

Veterans Union was apparent yester-
day, in more ways than one. There
were as many veterans along the
street in the forenoon who refused to
unite with either organization as there
We're in the ranks of both and the at

The two organizations held separate
exercises ut the cemetery, without CON
fict, to be sure, but from the CONVEX
Sation Of several it seemed that their
minds We're quite as much occupied
with a spirit of rivalry as with recol-
lections Of the dead. Both claim to be
in the right. but whatever the reason
is that these two bodies cannot afiili-
ate il is a proposition that everybody
will agree to that they ought to be
Memorial day. and that the spirit that
now exists between the two is more of
a deSecration to the day and its OBJ
jects than any ball game or other kind
of sport or amusement can be. There
are not enough of the old soldiers to
permit of such a split and it is to be
hoped that before another Memorial
day comes the rivalry will cease. If it
is kept up, they cannot wonder if the
general public loses interest in their
exercises.

Turf Farm and Home: Notwith-
standing the fact that farmers all over
the State are planting and sowing
greater areas than was formerly the
custom, there seems to be a strong in
clination in our most progressive agri-
cultural SECTIONS towards what. is hap

Farmers are not willing to go over
large areas to produce the same value
in crops that their neighbors are get.
ting from a garden spot. The result is
rs it should be, very gratifying to all
concerned. The farms titled are neces-
sarily kept in much better condition
and the farmer at all times has his
operations right under his thumb. No
better Illustration of this kind Of agri-
culture can be found anywhere in our
State, we think, than is described in
this issue OF our paper as being con-
Quoted on the rocky, sterile island of

described so graphically in this issue
show conclusively that the old style of
farming has been entirely done away

plan of planting Il little of this and
little of that. and reaping what we
could get. Our Mt. Desert specialists
operate wholly on different plan now.
They study the market carefully and
ascertain what is its greatest demand
or what probably will be when the
crop can be sold. and then they spare
no expense or time or fertilizers in get
