DOESN'T LIKE HER.
And Gives Iwenty-One Alleged Reason for His Attitude.
A correspondent, whose sex, says ts Westminster Gazette, we decline to ¢!i
Vulge, sends us the following 21 au wers to the above question, “Why Hate Woman:”
1—Because she stabs me in the er’ with her parasol, offers no apolog, and looks as if I did it.
2—Because she pushes for u place ‘1 trains and omnibuses, and, being i: never makes any room for other pe» ple.
3—Because, in public, her prattle audible unceasing, and include: the biographies and characteristics (5 all her friends by name,
4—Beacuse she discusses frocks wit} ber sister opposite, and describes fat rics and fixings as if at her dress- maker's.
5—Because she climbs to the top of Omnibuses, to descend from which demands grace and decency,
6—Because she thinks the only way to make an omnibus stop is to prod the driver if she cannot reach the con- ductor.
and
©. fan . ‘ (—Because, being of the class for Which omnibuses are not, she spoils
her coachman and ruins her horses by her ignorant or inconsiderate use of them.
8—Because, being of any class, she loves a “remnant day” and dotes on bargains.
$—Because she mislays her bag, loses her handkerchief, and carries her purse in her hand.
10—-Because she recites, plays violins and rides on bicycles
1l—Because she reads accounts of weddings and lists of presents in la- dies’ newspapers.
2—Because she walks three in a@ row upon the pavement, and expects every one else to make way for her.
13—-Because she worships priests and deacons, as well as illustrious per- sons and cavalry officers.
14—-Beacause she is “fluent but not lucid,” and more concerned about the mumber of her facts that the truth of them.
15—Because, in nine cases out of ten, she can neither sew, read aloud, nor make tea.
16—Because she is always writing letters, and wanting me and others, to answer them.
17—Beacause she is the slave of fash- fon; and that, not only in clothes, but in art, music, manners, religion, flow- ers, jewelry, language and furniture.
18—Because she does not value any- thing simply because it is “good” (fol- lowing a fashion set in the days before
woman existed), but because it is “worn,” or “done,” or even “talked about.”
19—Because if she is “nice” ghe is
sure to be conventional, and if she 1s not conventional she is generally not “nice.’
20—Because if you tell her a secret,
.she passes it on at once to other friends—‘‘I don’t mind telling you,
dear, but it musn’t go any further.” 21—Because she is often careless ag to food, and thinks cheapness the finest

WOMAN’S CHAT.
The value of exercise, if properly indulged in, cannot be overestimated. If carried on in conjunction with eare- ful dieting and regular hathing it will give any woman a clean, healthy skin —a pure and lovely complexion. It is especially good for women of bilious or dyspeptic tendencies, and will de much toward strengthening the ner- yous woman who is always irritable and tired.
The pale woman should eat a good- ly quantity of rare beef and drink milk as much as she can. Red wines, clarets, etc., are also good for her. The fleshy, red-faced woman, on the other hand, should eat sparingly of such things, and indulge in much vegetable food and a large amount of fruit.
The beauty of the skin depends in a great measure upon cleanliness. If the» pores are clogged with foreign matter and the excretory process can- not go on properly black heads and kin- dred skin disfigurements appear, and the skin becomes dull and unhealthy in appearance.
In order to clear the complexion the unhealthy secretions must be cleared from the and gentle massage is best for this purpose, and after such a process some emollient should be earefully applied and rubbed in.
After this process use some astrin- gent wash to act as a tonic on the pores, which need strengthening. Ben- zoin is the most excellent thing for the purpose, and should be used: in most cases daily, and not over strong.
pores,
Buttermilk as a face wash, possesses more medicinal virtue than almost any Other liquid used for the complexion.
Taken internally, it is also very fine —especially for the rheumatic troubles of any sort—and as a means of purify- ing the blood is unequaled; for this reason it is so good to drink in hot weather, when the blood is apt to become overheated, It should, there- fore, be particularly taken when the face is inclined to be blotchy and full of spots.
Wrinkles are best treated by appli- cation of some fatty emollient which will act as a food to the pores,
The condition of the mind has much to do with wrinkles, and though it is absurd to say, “Don’t worry,” it is a good plan, at least once a day, to relax completely and rest for an hour or so.
The juice of one lemon te. eight ounces of elder flower water makes an excellent lotion for sunburnt faces; rub in a little of it while the face is still wet.
To have bright, glossy hair one must spend a certain amount of time on its
sare. A good brushing for ten minutes twice a day is most beneficial, and every woman who wishes to appear
well groomed should practice it.
All sorts of hair brushes are recom- mended, the latest being of whale- bone. These are espcially good for the scalp, making it feel as though if were being massaged. Used 2¢ nigh’, and drawn slowly through the hair, the effect is very soothing and often ures headaches, especially pervous mes. ‘

Dr. Mary Walker has bought 135 acres of land near Oawego, N. Y., for the pur- pose of forming an Adamless Eden in the shape of a colony of women who will till the soil, ride astride and bind themselves to wear bioomers for life.
Two Neglects and the Resu}t.
Neglect cold in the head and you will surely have catarrh. Neglect nasa! cat- arrh and you will as surely induce pul- monary diseases or catarrh of the stomach with its disgusting attendants, foul breath, hawking, spitting, blowing, &e. Svop it all by using Dr. Chase’s Catarrh Cure, 25 cents a box cures.
Lord Cadogan, who is an enthusiastic cyclist, has made no public appearance in Ireland as yet on a bicycle. Perhaps conrt etiqnette—which is rigidly observed at Dublin Castle, and by special royal command—may interfere between a lord- lientenaut and his “bike.”
HANDSOME FEATURES. Sometimes unsightly blotches, pimples or sallow opaque skin, destroys the attrac- tiveness of handsome features. In al! such caees Scott’s Emulsion will build up the system, and impart freshness and bibay.
The Earl of Dunmore has purchased a farm near Johannesburg, South Africa, for $35,000, and proposes building a large house and taking up his residence there. Lord Henry Paulet is another British nobleman who has succumbed to the at- tractions of South Africa.

The common ant ever-present warning of kidney tronbie, back ache and weakness in back are quickly relieved by Dr. Chase’s Pills. The original and only 25 cent Kid- ney-Liver Pills. When all other remedies fail they cure.
A silk worked screen inscribed “This screen, the work of Queen Anne, was pre- sented to the Right Honorable Richard Hill, Ambassador to the court of Turin, 1703,” came under the hammer in Shrews- burv at the sale of the effects of the bank- rupt Viscount Hill, fetching $430.

A Caution! A Warning!
If, on blowing the nose in the moraing, lumps and flakes are discharged colored with blood, especially on one side, lose no time in applying a remedy. Catarrh of the very worst kind has become seated, the walls are sore and full of smail ulcers, and if not soon cured will be hard to cure and eradicate. “A stitch in time saves nine.” Use Chase’s Catarrh Cure.
Another poor fellow who finds himself rich by Kaftir speculation in London is Florence O. Driscoll, a once penniless en- gineer, who came over to this country as a delegate to our World’s Exhibition. He has since figured conspicuously in the mining boom, and Harold Frederic says he could retire to-day with a fortune of $2,000,000.
Science Triumphant at Last,
Miller’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Qil is the outcome of the latest scientific re- searches. There was always a prejudice against taking Cod Liver Oil on account o* its disagreeable taste, but Miller’s Emul- sion is agreeable to the palate, and that is one reason why it has become so popular with the medical fraternity, the hospitals of the country and the households wher- ever consumption or lung troubles pre- vail. Mhuller’s Emulsion is the great nerve strengthener and blood maker, and cures Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis. Scrofula and all Lung affections. In Big Bottles, 50c. and $1, atall Drug Stores.

Gentlemen,—About three or four weeks ago I had an attack of Itching Piles. tried two or three different remedies re- commended by druggists as the “best and only cure,” etc., but got no relief.

THE MANITOBA HARVEST,
The Farmers of the Northwest Will Have Pleaty of Meney to Spend,
Wiyyirec, (Special) Oct. 7.—The pros- pects of a good year for the Manitoba farmers are now assured, thanks to the abundant harvest. One of the causes for the sickness prevalent last year will now be obviated, as the farmers will have more money to spare for the purchase of the ne- cessities of health. One of the straws which shows which way the wind is blow- ing is the fact that druggists are ordering the well-known remedy, Dodd’s Kidney Pills, in unusually large quantities. The inhabitants of the province are well aware of the value of the medicine, and only the financial stringency has prevented its uni- versal use.

The Neue Blatt informs us that the term “honeymoon” was not suggested oy the sweetness: of that period of dliss, but originated through a custom of the Germans of old, which compelled the newly wedded to drink nothing but mead made of honey during the thirty days following the marriage.
A shepherd at Chambery, Savoy, em- ploys a horse instead of a dog to kecp the herd together. The horse under- stands the orders given him, and car- ries them out as intelligently as the best trained dog.
Bicycle accidents are very rare in St. Petersburg, Russia, for the simple reason that the authorities do not al- ww the use of the bicycle in public ®xcept by riders who have given sat- isfactory proof of proficiency before a severe board of examiners.
The Russian Government has decid- ed to run church cars on the Siberian Railway. The Paris Libre Parole cyn- leally observes that this offers a chance to make one’s devotions by steam and to send up one’s prayers by express.
A European authority asserts that By rubbing vaseline over a ball to be fired from pistol or gun, the eye can follow the progress of the missile through the whole distance of its flight. Its course is shown by a thread of smoke, said to be due to the combus- tion of the vaseline.
At Bilboa, Spain, a beggar died late- ty at the age of 103 years, There are said to be quite a number of centenar- lans in the land of the Hidalgog and the beggar’s death would hardly have been deemed worthy of public notice if the autopsy of a body had not dis- closed the very extraordinary fact that the deceased Lazarus was a consump- tive for certainly not less than half a century.
A private belonging to a regiment of
Highlanders lately rode through the streets of Glesgow on a donkey. He was arrested and fined {3 3s or one month’s imprisonment, for attaching

Not content with this, the City Council is noW considering a prop- osition to make a cash allowance of 30 centimes (10 cents) per diem for each one of these waifs, involving an ex- penditure of 2,011,944 centimes annually. L’Independence Belge says that in time of peace Russia has a standing army of 858,000 men; next comes Ger- many, with £80,000, and then France with 512,000. In case of war Russia and France could put in the field 9,700,- 00 men, against the 7,700,000 soldiers of the three countries forming the Triple Alliance—Germany, Austria and Italy.

Tales of superstition from Darkest Europe are more plentiful than black eats. The latest is from the Bukowina, a dependence of Austria. A soldier of the reserve died lately at Bojane, and the military authorities requested his parents to send back his military pass- port. In reply came the information that the order could not be complied with, because the passport had been put in the coffin, “that the dead man might have the less difficulty In enter- ing into heaven.”
L’Independence Belge vouches for the fact that tattooing is growing in favor among the English aristocracy. A soyal prince bears an artistic design on his right arm. A member of the House of Lords had himself tattooed with his full name and title, and the date of his birth; the nobleman’s wife and children are marked for life in a similar manner. And the Belgian pa- fer sneers at this “relapse into bar- barism.”
