There are more unmarried

A bill is now before the
British Parliament prohibiting
the women of Scotland from

window while cleaning it.
Out in California when a
man has kicked his wife out
of bed three times she is enti-
tled to a divorce.
There is a girl in Turner,
Me., who smoke*, chews,
shaves, swears and wears a
man's hut. What more could
she do to entitle her to the
right of voting?—Buffalo Ex-
press.
The champion widow lives
in Iowa. She sees that the
graves ot o even husbands are
kept green. She takes no note
ot men but by their loss.—N.

A woman in Fultonville,

A St Louis man 25 years
old is the victim of a queer

that he is 70 years old. There

bares her shapely arms and
sets a lot of fleas free on them.
They feed their till on her

carriages and cannons weigh-
ing ever so many hundred
times more than their little
selves.
An Afghan woman asked
the asmeer for a divorce be-
cause lier husband was grow-
ing bald-headed. The verdict
was that the head should be
anointed with sour milk; that
the woman should lick it off
until the scalp shone again;
that then she should ride
through the bazar on a donkey
with her face astern, mid that
the husband and wife should
dwell in harmony.

Charley—"Why, . yon see, I
go to a first class hotel and
register my name. A few min-
utes later I receive a telegram
from my partner (who is in
the racket, you know). Then
I look astonished and walk
about, the room for five min-
utes in an agitate 1 manner,
and finally tell the clerk that
Pm sorry, but I'm unable to
stop to dinner, I've got to
leave right off—important
telegram ,jnst received. Good
day. Then go back to my
farm house and eat mush and
milk with an itppetite born of
sell-denial and a spirit of dare
to do right. The landlord of
the hotel doesn't care to spoil
the looks of his register so
my name is permitted to go
unscratohed. When the able
correspondent copies the ar-
rivals mv name is copied with
the rest and is printed in sev-
eral thousand newspapers and
read by a hundred thousand
people. By working ibis thing
three times a day I shall be
able to have myself reported
as staying at about every first-
class hostelry in New Hamp-
shire, and set all the other
fellows wild with envy 1 tell
you there is nothing like it,"
