REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Press.

r l1Ie INFW Tts5.
 When a man is in doubt he can always prove he isn't by arguing about 1t with his wife.
 Even when woman is going on a visit to her husbands relatives she can describe it as a tour.
 It just comes natural for women who don't know how to do a thing to do 1t better than men who know all about it.
 One of the most reputable things about a man not being married is the way he doesn't have to lie about where he was the night before.
 A woman who has no children misses a lot of pleasure at the theatre, not being able to worry whether they are being murdered by huraars.

BROKE.

 Looking in the windows, Wishing that I had Twenty million dollars Just to make me glad; Wishing I could purchase Half a hundred things. Though denied the pleasure That possession brings. Looking in the windows, Wistfully I see Many, many treasures That are not for me. Articles of virtu,
 Costly works of art, Furniture and pictures From a foreign part. Bric-a-brac just suited For my little "den." That would set me dreaming Day-dreams now and then. Money, money, money, Would that you were mine! In the lap of luxury Sweetly I'd recline. Looking in the windows At the brave display, All the zest of living Slippeth soon away. Makes a chap grow weary Of the worlds hard knocks. When he can't afford to Buy a pair of socks.

 Restaurant trade is somewhat fitful. For instance my business is larger now than 1t was before last years panic. This is especially true of the dinner trade. Not only do the people of Bir- mingham eat heartily but a large part of the restaurant business comes from out-of-t town shoppers who always ap- preciate good meals"

PARTING.

Austin Dobson, in one of his exquisite poems has immortalized the tragedy of those who ''pass and come no more" A well-loved friend, one whose path has been our path, whose handclasp has com forted us in the hour of need. turns the corner of a street and all eternity will not bring him back that way again. He is lost to us in his material form for ever He may not be dead. In other lands he may be wanderer, or he may be only few hundred miles away in an other city. but he is gone. It seems some times to be a cruel dispensation of Prov idence which tears us from those upon whom our affections are centered. The man who never makes a friend does not suffer the bangs of parting, but after all' is he any the better for it?

IN HOTEL LOBBlES
ALI Welonme Exhibition.

Curious reports are reaching the head quarters of the American Tuberculosis exhibitions" said physician interested Tn the work. Tt seems that a number even of supposedly intelligent and well read people have an idea that this ex- hibit will be Of a disagreeable or morbid nature.
 "The mere fact that this exhibition has been held in number of public buildings in general use ought to entirely dispose of this fear. The director of the exhibition states that he has on file formal communications from number of public officials stating that there need be no fear in that direction. Librarian S. H Ranck of Grand Rapids Mich, writes that in Michigan they regard the exhibit as educational in every partieu- lar. When it was here there was nothing that was In the slightest degree oo- iectionable or dangerous; In fact the library considered 1t very desirable to have such an exhibition in its building simply for the public education for which the institution stands. Almost the en- tire part of the exhibit was made up of pictures, charts and models, many Of which were of great interest to all classes of people The interest aroused by this exhibit in Grand Rapids is believed to have been the means of saving many lives, both through the spread of popular knowledge with reference to tuberculosis, and also in creating renewed interest in the local organization which keeps in the field one or two home nurses to take care of persons suffering from the ravages of the great white plague
 Another convincing argument ad- vanced by the director of the exhibition is the fact that in such progressive school cities as Cleveland. San Antonio, Milwaukee, Richmond. Louisville Nash vile and many others all of the public school pupils above 10 years were sent to the exhibition during school hours under the care of their teachers as part Of the regular work of the school. And then think of all that the Birmingham newspapers have already said about the exhibition. It is difficult to believe that people could so misunderstood the situa- ton.'
