Should Bachelors be

That's the subject which we see
by the newspapers was very inter-
esting debate a few evenings ago,
and the hall wasn't large enough to
accommodate half the numbers of
people who wished to hear and see
the old gray headed 'baches' get it
put all over them" Of course the
poor old bachelors lost after a recon-
nossance by the Affirmative into
every year from the year one to
date. But il the bachelors were rep
rsented by three hen pecked" hus-
bands there would have been diff
ferent, delightful decision, for this

~ know what they are missing, but
we imagine that few ''hen pecked
mollycoddles" could very much en-
tighten that hallful. OF course
these are only our thoughts. Well,
be that as it may, the affirmative
were more than generous in their de-
mands because We think $50 per
year is o. X; in fact, that wouldn' t
stir some of them. Yes, Stree,
Inefe are some nuSDdhQS- WHO are

WHEN MEN WORE SHAWLS.
Lincoln's Partially to his Big Scotch
Plaid-Useful Article of Attire.
Pathfinder.

Pathfinder.
On very rare occasions YOU now see
some old lady wearing a shawl. but
generally speaking tins once universal
garment has ccOmc obsolete.
Those children that are. say, 40
years old or more, can probably re-
member when even men wore shawls
instead Of ovcrcoats. Tor about ten
years they were considered just the
thing. This was the decade Begin
ming with about 1860. President Lin
coin was very partial to his big
Scotch shawl, which, according to the
vogue, he wore, not folded diagonal
~ in feminine fashion, but folded
lcngthwise. This folded shawl was
passed over the shoulders and around
in front, where it Was either held by
the nahdS or pinned by a huge shawl
pin. This ease Of the shawl is about
the only one where re men have ap-
propriatcd an article Of wear from
the womcn's wardrobe-though the
instances where the reverse has hap
pcned are legion.
Even then, the shawl was originally
not Il woman's garment exclusively,
for the Scotch Highlander has his
tartan plaid, and The men of Northern
Italy still wear Il cloak which is very
little more than Il shawl There can
be no question that Inc shawl is more
picturesque as an article of attire
than the close fitting coats both men
and women now wear. The shawl
could in case Of emergency be used to
protect two persons, or to wrap Il
child in, or an extra bed covering. its
fashion did not change every three
months, and it could he used and
passed down in the family until it
was worn out.
Nowadays the only time when such
articles are used is when people are
making an ocean tri, or travelling in
Europe. Travcllin" rugs. which
are nothing more nor less than men s
heavy shawl&. are extremely Eng
liSh; and for travellers they arc con-
sldcrcd very proper and desirable
but outside of Strcamcr, train or
carriage no one who cares for what
people will say would be seen with
one.

A CINGALESE DAINTY.
White Ants Of Ceylvn and Their Nu-

Agricultural Journal Of Ceylon Bo-

1t Is estimated that two-thirds of
the Island Of Ceylon Is undermined
by white ants. The number of these
insects is certainly quite incalculablc; ;
but it is fortunate that their natural
enemies are almost rs numerous.
The workers are proved upon by
true ants and many other insects; by
spiders, lizards and rentipcdes; by
rats, mice and palm squirrels. But
it Is the adult winged insects that are
especially victimizcd. 1t is probable
that scarcely | per cent Of the mature
insects survive the dangers of the
periodic fights.
They run the gantlct of nearly cv-
cry other animal. Birds, bats, suuir-
rcls. rats, toads and lizards all flock
to the feast. Dogs and eats eat the
winged ants with avidity.
