Reflections Of a Bachelor.

Red hair Is to temperament what
alcohol is To to wine.
Women don't mind church SER
vices as much As men because their
knees are so much softer.
Where the devil is so smart is
that he always lets the one he wants
to convince do the arguing.
When a man sits down to write
love letter the less brains he puts
into 1t the bigger the success it will
be.
lou can never make a woman
who hasn't wavy hair believe that
one who has can be absolutely
trusted with men.
When woman begins to dye
her hair it is a sign that all the
gray matter of her head is on the
outside.
The woman never lived who
doesn't believe that she is more
beautiful than lots of other women
she knows.
just because woman loves her
husband Is no sign that she thinks
he has the brains he thinks she
thinks he has.
Nothing pleases a woman so
much as to have a man find fault
with a dress because it does not do
her figure justice.
The first time girl hears a man
speak with admiration of her figure
she bushes with modification; the
next time she losses her head.
When a man is interested in a
woman and she gets married he
can still be interested in her just
the same unless 1t IS TO himself.
When women says a man is a
good husband she means one who
will let his wife make an idiot of
herself rather than be disagreeablc
about it.
If a man will write his wife's
first name all over a sheet of paper
and carelessly leave it where she
can find it, it will take COED many
gossips to convince her that he
doesn't love her.
a pretty girl could marry any
thing on earth that she wanted,
but such is the cOntrariness of her
sex that she usually picks out the
worst little runt she can find and
thinks he is ? god.-New York

THE TORREES SYSTEM.

The bill providing for the Tor
rens system of land registration in
Virginia, and drafted by Mr.. Eu-
gene {. Massie. secretary of the
State Bar Association. was also in
PRODUCED in the House by Mr..
Smith. This measure Is already
pending in the Senate. and was
introduced on the House side to
enable the judiciary Committees
of the respective bodies to consider
1T simultaneously, without the
necessity for joint sessions.
The friends of the Torrens sys-
TEN will seek to secure favorable
report at an early date, to enable
the members of the Legislature To
give the matter full and fair con
sideration before adjournment.
The following reasons are urged
by Mr.. Smith for favorable con
sideration of the bill at the hands
of the present General Assembly:
1T has been thoroughly tested
in other States and countries and
has proved a success and of vast
benefit to owners of real estate
wherever tried: it has been under
consideration in Virginia for nearly
four years; the new Constitution
has made special provision for it.
The general laws are now being
revised and the system can be most
readily incorporated and made to
harmonic with all the other pro-
visions of the Code. The present
Legislature has had unusual eX-
perience in general law-making.
and it is better fitted TO consider
and adopt a general law of this
character than any Legislature we
are likely to have for years"

THE PRESS MUZZLE.

The Pennsylvania newspapers
have evidently hit somebody in the
Legislature pretty hard. A bill
has passed the Senate and House
which requires that all newspapers
published in Pennsylvania shall
print in every issue on the editorial
page the names of the owner or
owners, publisher and managing
editor, and. if owned bya corpora
ton, the names of the officers
thereof. In all civil actions which
may hereafter be brought against
a newspaper, if it shall be shown
that the publication complained of
resulted from negligence on the
part of such owner, proprietor.
manager or editor in the ascertain
ment of the facts, or in the publi-
cation thereof. compensatory dam
ages may be recovered for injuries
To business and reputation resulting
from such publication. a. we'll as
damages for the physical and men
alsuffering endured by the injured
party or parties. Failure TO carry
out the provision requiring the
publication of the names of those
responsible for the publication is
made punishable by Il fine of not
less than $500 or more than $1,000.
An amendment provides when
ever in any civil action il shall be
shown that the matter complained
of is libclous and that suchlibelous
matter has been given special
prominence by the use of pictures.

She was doctors little girl. In her
fathers office she had seen a number
or boxes on which was written, This
side UP with care" In answer to her
question her mother had said, "You
see, when papa gets these boxes he
doesn't know what is in them, and If
1t is something that might break IT
wouldn't be good for II to set 1t upside

The little girl pondered over ii for
some time A few days later she came
to her mother. saying, Mamma, when
God made us did he put a sign ON our

AS soon as great fragment OF mar
bic detached by the blast has stopped
rolling il is more or less roughly sduar-
ed into block Weighing. say. forty
tons
Then the men set about getting il
down. Along certain lines Of descent
offering the least resistance to a body
descending by force OF gravitation a
succession of stout posts has been
firmly driven into the loose stones and
marble waste. The men by means Of
crowbars and screw jacks raise the
block OH to soaped skid of hard
beech wood, of which they have several
at hand. Before doing this they Sc
cure the block by means OF three long
three TO five inch hempen cables, with
which they take turns around the posts
and pay out sufficient rope only to al
low OF the ponderous mass sliding over
the soaped skids by its own weight
and the angle OF the incline, but not to
allow OF its gaining too much momen-
tum
During this descent. besides the men
failing on to the ropes. two or more
men are seated on the block. 4 man
following closely In its wake hands
them up the skid Just passed over,
which they resoap and hand down to
man. who keeps just in front of the
moving mass. to put down in its path
and so provide a continuous slipway.
This last mentioned worker has the
most perilous task. If one of the cables
part at a critical moment or if n mis-
take be made in paying out or slack
ening them, he must inevitably be
crushed.
1t is fine sight to see the men at
the last pinch. near the raiIhead, hand
lowering the marble over rollers on. to

yelling like demons at their work, but
the moment their burden is safely en-
trained every man filings down his tool,
