of surveillance and vigilance to proven,
crime which proved highly successful
and cflicacious. so much so that not q

MUST KEEP IT UP.

There are many reasons in favor OF

beins addei to the community, but
the n eds of most persons change

REFLECTIONS OF a BACHELOR,

Every man believes in married life
for his friends.
Most OF the wrinkles Oh q woman's
face come from her Laving to mile
when she doesn't feel like it.
As soon as o man seems to know O lot
about women al the women who aren't
innocent think he lsa't.
Some girls get so in the habit Of
tlushin while they are engaged that
it migat as we'll be pail, on them.
The AiInpIe in pretty girls shoulder
ten years after is only CT ease in a fat
place:
Most women would rather bnin up
their husbands library than bunch Of
old letters from other men.
II women acted the way they felt,
half tho times they run together and
hiss they would bite each other.
1t takes the average woman TIL she
is 80 to male up her mind whether it
is better to marry a pig that looks like
a gentlemen or gentleman that looks
like New York Press.

CONCERNING WOMAN.

A New York court has decided that q
woman is L OF entitled to latch key,
and fixes IL o'clock al night as the limit
of reasonable hours for her to be on the
street.
The Imperiel Government OF Austria
/ as lately placed women on exactly the
same footing as men in regard to the
practice of mediciec and the conduct
ing of chemistry shops.
An Illinois woman is conducting a
poultry business which yields her $50
per month, besides supplying her large
family with eggs and chickens. A
cleverly devised scratching yard" is q
feature of her hennery, which COM
pelling the hens to work for their food
in winter, seems to account in part Tor
her marked success.
Germany, which is is slow in reform
movements, is allowing women in
creased educational privileges and also
the opportunity to apply what they
know. Eight leading cities now have
female overseers Of the poor. In Bremen
43 are employed and at Bonn 80 are at
work. In the University of Berlin the
current semester shows 81 women
students, as compared with 24l last
year. Zone OF these is aged 81, and is
taking course in German philology
and history. Six are studying theology.
