Reflections of a Bachelor.

Some men are fortunate;
others are only lucky.
A woman may have some
sense and not have any sense
of humor, but no woman can
have a sense Of humor and not
have some sense.
Probably women invented
skirts so they could make their
feet look smaller by having the
heels of their shoes put way up
under their insteps.
There was probably a lot OF
scandal before the flood be-
cause the women could track
Noah's family back TO Eve and
nobody knew who Ewes father
was.
There are three habits that
no amount Of treatment will
ever cure a woman of when she
once gets them; The garnet
habit, the twin habit and the
bare-neck photograph habit.

Hiram Young, one ''yaller

Brought to Reason.

He was out walking with a
young lady WHO had decided
antipathy to cigarettes, but not
being aware of her prejudice he
lighted one of the little rolls.
and began smoking with great
gusto, inhaling the fumes deep
into his lungs and then blowing
great rings up at the moon,
which gazed TRANQUILITY down on
his folly.
Offended by his presumption,
she said, with dangerous unban-
ity, "Do you know l can read
fortunes in cigarette-smoke ?"
Indeed !" exclaimed the un-
suspecting youth. "Perhaps
You'll condescend to read mine. I"
Oh, certainly, if you wish it,
Then she gazed up in the air at
the delicate blue wreaths of
smoke. She hesitated, evident
ly puzzled about something. Il
am undecided which of the two
things is to befall you.' she ad-
mitted. "Your fortune is not SO
easily read as fancied it would
be-"
"What are the two thipgs?"
"Why, | can't determine
whether you are marked out for
lung disease or lunacy,' was the
answer. "Cigarettes have such
diverse effects on people Of your
temperament"
A moment later the cigarette
lay glimmering in the gutter

'"The quantity of quinine taken by

among the Americans and English all
through that region that the drug is
necessary for the preservation of life,
and tfey keep full of it from one years

"rley generally keep the stuff in

One would suppose. as matter of
course, that such enormous quantities

Since psychologists have attributed

The President is a Prisoner.

One would naturally think that the
chief executive of so great nation az
ours would not only be exempt from
some obligations which fall upon the
average citizen, but would enjor GER
tain privileges peculiar to the highest
office within the gift of the people
This is not the case, however. The
fact that the President of the United
reason possessing citizen tn er
whom custom holds prisoner within
limited bounds is brought out very
forcibly by Sohn Elfreth Watkins, Jr,
in an interesting article on "Some
things the President Does Not Don in
the October Ladies' Home journal. 1t
shows that in the spending of his
leisure time the President is more re-
stricted than the janitor who daily
empties his waste basket. For he
must not leave the country, even for
day. This is an old, unwritten law.
Neither can he go aboard foreign
warship, even when anchored in our
harbors and when flying the colors of
friendly State, or make a formal call
upon any one except q President
elect, an President, President of
foreign State or a reigning monarch
visiting our capitol He must not re-
ceive any but intimate friends on
seat of honor at any formal dinner
He must never occupy the left side of
a carriage seat, or cross the threshold
of foreign embassy's residence in
Washington, for that is foreign ground
These are only few of the many laws
with which custom restricts our Presi-
dents.

New York State Justice.

The swiftness of Justice in dealing
with Czolgosz suits the temper of the
American people, and will commend
itself to the approval Of sensible men
the world over.
There have been long dragged out
trials of assassins which have formed
opportunities for revolving displays of
morbid sentimentalism, producing in
the community at large al emotion of
disgust which has extended to the
administration of the law itself
When Guiteau was tried for the
murder of Garfield the case opened in
the federal court in the District of
Columbia, where the proceedings
began November 7, 1881, and were not
concluded till the 25th of January,
1882. Then the case was carried be-
fore the Supreme court of the District
The wire drawn technicalities of Gu-
teau's lawyers and the rawlings of the
prisoner exasperated the people 1t
was not until June 80, 1882, that the
tedious, solemn farce was finished
and the atrocious criminal paid the
penalty of his crime by death.
At Buffalo, in state court, Justice
has not moved with leaden feet. All
seemly devices to ensure absolute
firmness have been observed, but the
trial of Leon Czolgosz for the murder
of President Mckinley has consumed
only two days, and now the prisoner
is under sentence of death, and in all
probabilities will meet his doom about
Oct. 2Sth.
There has been no chance allowed
the despisable wretch to pose as a
hero. Reporters for anarchist news
papers were not given opportunity to
sensationalize on the subject. All in
courtroom was orderly and tair.
To day Czolgosz is in his cell await
ing his turn in the electric chair.

Meat Not COrruptive OF Morals.

There is not particle of evidence
that a moderate amount of meat in
a diet tends to corrupt mans moral
nature or to make of him cannibal
or a murderer, nor is there any cor
roborative evidence of the assertion
often made that a vegetable diet will
soften a mans manners, improve his
morals, correct his taste, and make
gentleman of a villain. The man who
robs the bank is as apt to eat vege-
tables as beefsteak, and the minister
who, il a peaceful life and an upright
conduct, leads his flock towards better
things. has been known to indulge in
beefsteak. In fact. we must put aside
all such notions, at least for the pres
ent. as being possible solely in mag
inatiOn and not resting upon any
chemical or physiological fact.-Every-
body's Magazine.

Ear-SpI ting Mus ACcpmpan tho
Wedd ny Marches In Morocco
Weddings in Morocco are evening
functions, never take place in the
blaze of noon. A procession, the long
er the better, is sine qua non. The
lady is nearly enveloped in gauZe and
muslin and packed into a trim little
red box just as if she were an auto
matte doll or the newest thing en-
hats, 50 that she can no more be seen
than diamond wrapped up in wadding
and shut in a Casket. The box is
fastened on the back of a mule or a
horse and when these details are sat
isfactorily settled the procession starts
relatives and friends of her future
lord. ride in state or sOlemnly march
on foot to the sounds of weird music
which would madden a European. The
instruments are ear-splitting. But the
vocal sounds uttered by the women
folk, by way Of wishing the couple
good luck, are simply sOul-scathing.
The loo-loO-loo, lee-lee-lee shrieked
out with shrill voices are as terrible
as kaffir women for the dead.
And if the family have proper sense
of what they owe themselves. they are
not satisfied with even this but invest
in gunpowder. and keep firing all the
way to the bridegrooms house.

Il would require, according to re-
cent calculations. printed in the Scien-
TIT. American, a steamship of 935 feet
long. 81 feet wide drawing 80 feet Of
water driven at 80 knots by engines
having 10000 horse power, to make a
four day voyage to Europe. Each one
of the triple screws would need an en-
CINE of about 81 600 horse power. The
daily consumption of coal would be
about LOO tons or $500 tons for the
voyage The coal bunkerS would be
filled with a provision Of some 5000
tons. 1t is not at all likely that a
four-day boat will ever be built on
such a plan The newly devised steam
