REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

\ The only kind of genius most people
have is for getting rid of money
Generally when a man is having a
good time it is at doing something he
can't afford.

intelligence.
A mother even thinks the baby has
the stomach ache in a much more in
tercsting way than other children.

lie can ask a girl what sermon was
preached ir her church, and she will
tell him he proposed to her.-New

HolD to Spoil the Day.

The day of an entire family is often
made or marred by breakfast table
manners. If the atmosphere is disa-
greeable, if even one person starts the
day swapping, every one at the table is
apt to be disgruntled before the meal is
through. 1t should not be any more
difficult to smile in the morning than at
midnight; indeed the man who has
lived through eighteen hours of strenu-
GUS modern life would seemingly have
more excuse for irritation at the end of
it rather than at the beginning, yet
strangely enough, more people feel
cross at breakfast than at any other
time. There are people to whom get
ting out of bed is more of temper
test than direct insult. They consider
the rising gong personal enemy and
seem physically incapable of smile or
pleasant word until they have been up
several hours.
