Candy and Gossip.

1t is reported that all the women stem
ographers in the general offices of the
Grand Trunk railway are to be dis
charged for the reasons hereinafter set
forth, to-wit:
Because they are too much addicted to
the chocolate cream and caramel habit.
Because, when not indulging in various
kinds of confections, they are engaged n
nihbling at solid food.
Because they talk too much. and espp-
cially about matters in which the railroad
company as common carrier and cor
poratiOn organized for profit is not now
and cannot under any circumstances be
come interested.
Because the average woman employe
has no thought for the future that is as
sociated with the development of the
cOmpany'S interests her main purpose
being to kill time until she finds Il hus-
band.
1t is possible that some of these
charges are well founded 1t is possible
that women employees as a rule. and par
ticularly when they are thrown together
in large numbers, are prone to carry
feminine weaknesses into the daily ruu-
tine of business life, to the extent of ciI-
dangering the balance of those masculine
minds which are more or less influenced
by their delightful presence.
tits possible that half a dozen caramel
eating women in a general office are ca.
pahlc of throwing n Well-organized rail-
way system ont of gear. and that no
discipline was ever established that has
been sufficiently rigid 10 prevent thu
average woman from forgetting business
if there is anything more interesting al
hand.
But with this admitted the fact re
mains that if candy lunches aud gossip
only can be eliminated. women as a RUE
are not only faithful and honest buI
competent employees. This fact is well
recognized.
Men are not perfect. We believe that
this will be admitted even by railway
managers. And it is frequently the
fault Of the men rather than the fault
Of the women that the women do not
adhere more strictly to the office rules.
When there are no men the women do
better. When there are few men the
women do not do 50 we'll. When there
are as many men as there are women.
neither the men nor the women 10 quit,
as well as they ought to do. And man
is az much inclined now as he was in
the Garden Of Eden to throw the blame
on the woman when anything goes
wrong.
Still for wOman's sweet sake. let III
hope that the action of the railway con-
pany in question may teach her that.

Meal Monday.

The students in the Scotch universe
ties annually enjoy their "Meal Mon
day." but few of the undergraduates
remember how the holiday was insti-
tuted. In faroff days, when learning
was really nourished on "a little oat-
meal" the students before leaving
home for the universities provided
themselves with quantity of meal
sufficient to make ''halesome parritch"
half through the session. BY the end
of January their meal kists" had run
low, and "a day off" was given In
which the student was expected to
journey half way home, meeting at
this point his parent or brother, who
brought with him second load of the
simple diet. The holiday was fixed on
a Monday so as to allow the under
graduate the benefit of the preceding
Saturday. In times past the journeys
would often extend to fifty or sixty
miles. The modern student goes home
for Meal Monday" but he travels
with a week end ticket and has no
thought Of the painful journeys of his
ancestors.

Telling a Cows Age.

A cows age is indicated by her
horns. At the age of two a ring of
thick material forms at the base of
each horn, and one ring is added every
year after this becomes apparent. To
find the age, therefore. count the rings
and add two. In the case of a bull.
however, the first ring does not appear
until he is five years old, and one an
nual ring appears after that. so to the
number of rings on bulls horns five
must be added. The result attained is,
however, only approximately correct,
for not only is the time of appearance
of the first ring uncertain. but occasion
ally two rings appear in one year, and
then again sometimes year is omit
ted, no ring being formed. A dishonest
dealer can also change the apparent
age of the animal by filing off some of
the rings from her horns, so that COM
plete reliance on this sign is sometimes
very deceptive.

1t is we'll known TO the few medical

Of toxic matters from the intestinal
tract, and melancholia, whether in mild
or severe form, Is generally due to this
cause. Violent paroxysms of temper,
whether In children or adults, are often
properly referable to a bad state of the
blood from this auto toxemia, as are In
deed the exceedingly exuberant spirits
of old or young at times. Just as we
observe in alcoholic poisoning, some
individuals are made temporarily jolly
and good natured; others are made
ugly and unreasonable.
