THE MARRIED cYNlc.

Who shall be considered qualified
TO speak with wisdom on the subject
of women If it is not he who has had
ffty-fve wives? Obendaga is a Sen
egalese chief, whose spouses have
numbered precisely two score and IF
teen. Obendaga has studied all of
them. He believes that he knows
something of womankind. What he
knows he has crystallized into max
inns of great pith and piquancy. Here
are some of them:
When a woman weeps. pat her once:
If she still weeps. beat her twice.
II you do not Ike a momans ear
cut 1t off; she will hear no less. and
may look more beautiful.
Despise not all women built like CO.
coanut trees; in every forest must be
some cocoannt trees.
A yellow woman is like muddy wat
er. fit only for cooking.
When you want woman. take her
if you can; If you cannot make her
feel her loss.
A woman fights with glances;
man with spears. Some glances are
sharper than some spears.
One of my best wives hated me
when l married her. and loved me
when I told her to die.
One wife is like one meal every day,
and that one meal always boyada. the
same food; the stomach viii not stand
1t.
Talk little TO women; listen much.
They talk for many and listen for few.
Better to have woman fear you
than to think she can wave doga to
lover behind your back. A woman
admires lion that will eat her more
than a monkey that Will chatter for
her peanuts.
The less clothes a wife wears the
more she has to hide in her head IL
she would keep it from you. Clothes
are foolish; tattooing is far more or
namental, and does not chafe. Tailors
are like monkeys tails. good only for
hanging.
Children? They are incidents Great
men deal only with events.
Marry much. Do not take it seri-
ously. Often bad wives make good
widows. 1t is hard to be the widower
of good wife. No man ever was the
widower OF good widow.
When the cooks spoil the broth in
our land We put them in the pot to
make more. 1t solves the question OF
food.

BULLS EYES.

1t is good thing for some mems
wives that they never marry.
There is a good deal of cant about
fair play; 1t is often an excuse only
for meddling.
Many man spends seven-eigthths
Of his life earning money enough to
enable him to spend the other eight
in comfort.
There are times in the lives Of all
people when they expect to be hum.
bugged. On such occasions they are
disappointed If they are not.
When a man turns to look at a
woman he sees only her face and fig.
ure; when woman turns for the
same purpose she sees only the dress

Meaning of Horse Power.

horse power is the force required
to lift dead weaight of 81. 600 pounds
one foot minute. To find the horse
power OF an engine multiply the area
of the piston in inches by the average
steam pressure in pounds per square
inch. Multiply the product by the
travel OF the piston in feet per minute
and divide that product by $4,000. If
an engine is rated at 73 horse power

ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY
Was the Trial Trip of the Automobile to
 the Grand Canyon Of Arizona.

the Grand Canyon Of Arizona.
 Regarding the trial trip of the automobile, the Phoenix Republican has the following to say:
 "Grand View, Grand Canyon, Ariz, Jan. 7.- The automobile party which left Flagstaff on Sat urday reached here on Sunday, having been delayed by the lack of water and poor fuel. The distance is seventy-two miles and the actual running time was nine and a half hours. The object of the trip is to demonstrate the practicability of the automobile as a means of trans portation over a mountain road to the Grand Canyon.
 On Thursday we were informed that the great automobile trip to the grand canyon had not then been completed, notwithstanding the above telegram.
 It appears that the auto left Flagstaff under the most favorable circumstances, having in tow a trailer which it was said would not impede the progress of the machine We understand that this trailer was discarded when a little more than half the distance had been covered, and the journey then re- stunned. Trouble with the fuel and water supply caused the gentlemen in charge to abandon the machine while still several miles from the Grand View hotel, to which place they journeyed on foot and there hired a conveyance and went over to the Bright Angel hotel, from whence the above message was sent out.
 It is noticeable that the message states that the party arrived while nothing is said of the arrival of the machine.
 According to the latest report it is the intention to haul the trailer over to the station at Apex, on the Grand Canyon railroad, where it will be loaded on the cars and re- turned in that manner.
 Verify, the way of the auto is hard in Arizona.
