At a time like the present, when the marrying age of the average man of the middle classes is being more ancTmore postponed, the phywi cal ills of bachelordom come ^in creasingly under the notice of the medical man. It is not] good for man or woman to live alone. In deed it has been well said that for solitude to be successful man must etiher be an angel or devil. This refers perhaps mainly to the moral aspects of isolation, apd with these we have no concern. There are certain physical ills, however, which are not the least among the disadvantages of loneliness. Of these there is many a clerk in London, many a yoimg barrister, rising perhaps, but not yet far enough risen many a business man or journalist, who will say that one of the most trying features of his unmarried life is to have to eat alone. And a premature dyspepsia is to his medical man. the only thing ever takes ~him There are some few happy dis posed individuals who can dine alone and not eat too fast, nor too much or too little. With the ma jority it is different. The average man puts his novel or his news paper before him and thinks that he will lengthen out the mea^ with due deliberation by reading a little with and more between the courses. He will just employ his mind enough to help and too little to interfere with digestion. In fact, he will provide that gentle mental accompaniment which with happier ptopl'* conversation gives to a meal. This is your solitary's excellent idea. In reality he becomes en grossed in what he is reading, till suddenly, finding his chop cold, he demolishes it in a few mouthfuls, or el.so he finds that he is hungry, and paying no attention to the book, whirh he flings aside as he rushes through liis food as fast as possi ble, to plunge into his armchair and liter :mre afterward. In either case the aely man must digest at a dis advantage. For due and easy nutrition food should be slowly taken and the mind should not be intensely exercised during the process. Everyone knows that violent bodily exercise is bad just after a meal, and mental exer tion equally so. Wise people do not even argue during or just after dinner, and Observation of after dinner speeches will convince any one that most speakers neither en dure themselves nor excite in their hearers any severe intellectual effort. In fact the experience of countless generations, from the red Indians of the woods to the white shirted dinners of a modem party, has perpetuated the lesson that a man should not eat alone, nor think much at this time, but should talk and be talked to while he feeds. Most people do not think much when they talk, and talking is a natural accompanient of eating and drink ing. How does it fare with the many solitary women of today No better, we know, than with the men, but differently. Alone or not, a man may generally be trusted at any rate to take food enough. (We suppose, of course, that he can get it.) With a woman it is different. She is more emotional, more imagi native and less inclined to realize the gross necessiteis of exiscance. Therefore the woman doomed to dine alone often as not does not dine at all. She gets dyspepsia because digestion has not sufficient practice a man gets it because his functions practice it too often in the wrong way. Men and women are gregari ous animals. 1 3 lectually we improve wtih compan ionship. Cenertinly it is not good, to eat and to drink alone. It is a sad fact of our big cities that they hold hundreds of men and women who in the day are too busy and at night to lonely to feed with profit much less with any pleasure.—Lon don Lancet. THE ONE EIFFCIENT MEDIUM. A New York advertiser says: a4™ January IVI2 4 'A man may or may not read a poster in away to receive a distinct im pression, for the mind is not always receptive. A man may read a cir cular or he may toss it into the scrap basket. The daily newspaper, how ever, he buys voluntarily bceause he wants to read it. He may not read my advertisement the first day or for many days, but some day he will read it and will take it all in. That is why I regard the newspaper as the one efficeint medium of pub licity. "—Philadelphia Record. MORMONS MUST WED. There is consternation among the employee of the Desert News, he official organ of the Mormons church, in this city, is the result of a matrimonial edict that has been issued. The News in addition employing the usual force necessi tated by an afternoon publication, operates a bindery, job office and book store, and in its various de partments employs in the neighbor hood of 10 men. The edict is said to be the result of a conference between President Joseph Smih, the present head of the church, and the manager of the News, News, at which it was agreed that all male 9mployes who were not reamed on or before June 30 next would be asked for their resigna tii ns. It is estimated thatt he order will affect twenty five employes of the paper, and some of the number who are not matrimonially inclined aro in sore distress, while others fear that they will not be able to make a perfectly satisfactory selection within the time specified. There are oithers who fear that their po sitions will go glimmering before they can settle upon some other maiden who is willing to leave her happy home for them on short no tice.—St. Paul Globe. WIFE OWNS HER HUSBAND'S BEARD. A novel action recently came be fore the civil court at Marinsburg, West Prussia. A Russian, who was very proud of his long beard, un dertook in conversation with three of his friends, to shave it off if any one would pay him 100 marks. The money was offered to him the fol lowing day. He was about to com ply, but his wife interfered, and caused her husband to be served with police notice not to shave off his beard, as she claimed a part pro prietorship in pursuance of the Rus sian law. The friends are now su ing the husband tor the nonperfor mance of his contract. MID YEAR EXAMINATIONS. Worthington High School, Janu ary 27, 28, 1902. Monday, 9:15 a. m.

SMALLPOX INFECTION. Contrary to what is sometimes thought, it appears to be established that laundries do not diffuse small pox, the process of washing being an effectural disinfectant. On the other hand, those who handle dry linen incure great risk. Some rather staggering facts have been brought to light by the prevailing epidemic in London. It seems that, the anti-vaccinationists have been only too successful. Out of 81 children attacked, under 15, 57 (con siderably more than half) had not been vaccinated, and 38 died. Of these 38 one child only had been vaccinated. In another group, out of 24 vaccinated children' who con tracted the disease—in some cases very probably before the operation —one only died. Of the cases in London up to the present time, al most exactly one in three has proved fatal, the mortality being three times as great among the unvacci nated as among those who were pro tected by vaccniation. Neither these nor any other figures show how large a number of persons ex posed to the contagion escaped the disease altogether in consequence of vaccine protection.—Batimore Sun. CALIF ORNIA WOMEN FARMERS Chicago Chronicle: Some of the finest farms in California are owned and managed by women. Chief among such several fine fruit fawiw in the southern part of the state, where preserves, jams, and jellies »re put up in large quantities. At the state fairs superb specimens of these natural products are always entered by fair competitors, one of whom owns 250 acres ofland and raises, in addition to fruit crops, ex cellent varieties of grain, hops, anil tobacco. Women have also won marked success as florists in Califor nia, though some of them began wtih scant capital and little know ledge of floriculture.
