REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press
 Too many cooks in one month spoil the broth.
 I here is no doubt that mosquitoes, how ever fastidious their taste, lack modesty.
 A womsn's idea of really being loved is to have you tell her so a different way every time.
 About the time a bachelor finds he can live alone very comfortably he discov- CTS some woman who can't.
 The modern way of tanning a shrew is to buy her everything she wants and >Iryemise her what she doesn't want

GREAT IMPROVEMENT
 IN FOREIGN COMMERCE

cur in pig iron, a decrease of nearly three million dollars; steel rails. nearly five millions and metal working machinery nearly a million dollars.
 In other articles of manufacture which some months ago showed a mark. ed reduction, there has been a decided re. action and a return of normal condi. tions. In manufactures of copper, which during the early part of the year show ed a very great reduction, the figures for ten months fall but three million dol lars below those of the corresponding months of last year, while those foI the month of April are nearly three million dollars greater than those for April. 1901. Exports of mineral oil, which also showed a decrease during the earlier part Of the year in comparison with the same months of the preceding year. are for the ten months ending with April 1902 nearly three millions greater than those of the same months of 1901. while the quantity exported is about 80 mill lion gallons greater than in the cor responding months of the preceding year. Exports of paraffin, which show ed a material reduction in the early
  months of the present fiscal year, are for the ten months ending with April, a million and @ half dollars in excess of those of the same months of the preced- ing year. The largest increase, however Is in exports of cotton goods, which for the ten months ending with April are $26, 436,379, against s15115,561 in the cor responding months of the fiscal year 1900. This increase in the exports of cot ton goods Is chiefly to China, to which the exports were largely suspended in 1901 owing to the disturbances then ex- isting in that country. but are also much larger than those of any earlier year. The total exports of cotton cloths alone to China from the United States in the ten months ending with April 1902 are 272, 439, 390 yards valued at $13,- S14,26l, against 44,66o,272 yards, valued at 2, 494247 in ten months of 1901, and 164.- 334,S55 yards valued at $7,S10,S23 In ten months of 1900.

THE LOVERS RESOLUTION.

By George Wither.
 Shall I. wasting in despair, Die because a woman's fair? Or make pale my cheek with care Cause anothers rosy are? Be she fairer than the day. Or the flow'ry meads in May, If she think not well of me. What care how fair she be? Shall woman's virtues move Me to perish for her love? Or her well-deserving known Make me quite forget my own? Be she with that goodness blest Which may merit name of Best, If she be not such to me,
 What care I how good she be? Great, or good, or kind. or fair, I will ne'er the more despair; If she love me, this believe, I will die ere she shall grieve; If she slight me when I woo, I can scorn and let her go, For if she be not for me.
 What care I for whom she be?
