It was Cic ero or a man of hl.s day who rrimitked that it was onerous for a man to Ret along with a wife, hut ini IMnsitile to get along without one.

And w may remark that no man Is a bach elor of his own Initiative mi matter how much he may think so. He is simply a human derelict whom the women have examined ami passed by.

According to llottin, some of the t'nns denoting Inebriety ate as fol lows: Heery, bemused, boozy, bosky, corned, foggy, foil, fresh, hazy, ele vated, klsky, lushv. moony, mtiggv, inii..y, on, screwed, stewed, tight and winy.

Voices Good and They Sing in Tune, According to Traveler in Regions of the North. Music Is one of the chief pleasures and accomplishments of the Kskltnns. At the Labrador missions violins are used by them In the church choir, and forsifs bands are organized. In "Along the Labrador Coast" Dr. Townsend tells of an evening's entertainment with the Ksklmos at Nain. "For over an hour these natives sing to us," he says, "familiar music with KBklino words 'Itock of Ages,' 'Holy Night,' Interspersed with what I take o be secular songs. Their voices are harmonious and the singing Is of a superior order. We return the compli ment In the only way we can with a Kraphophone. It Is Indeed a terrible come-down to 'The Old Apple Tree' and 'Everybody Works Itut Father,' but the I'JjkimoB seem to enjoy It, and greet the songs and their explanation by ll Interpreter with peals of laughter. "A song in which a man beats his wife seems especially to amuse them. A Moravian brother told me that they Getting Into Practice. It Is often pleasanter to theorize than to perform. A young law student, says a writer In the Philadelphia In quirer, was making a study of certain processes of his future profession, lie showed an Inclination to sit in the house and speculate Idly, instead of doing some of the domestic tasks which stood waiting. "Deduction Is an Interesting proc ess," declared the youth to his fa ther. "For example, there Is a heap of ashes in the yard. That Is evl dence lhat the family has recently had fires." "Well, John," Interrupted his fa ther, "suppose you pursue your stud les a little farther by going out and sifting that pile of ashes." Youth's Companion. How the "Toast" Originated. The drinking to one's health Is a very old custom, dating way down the ages. In the six;ee;:th and svon teenth centuries the favorite drinks were sack, canary, clar.'t, sherry to which were adJ 'd hor.ey, sugar, ginger and other spices. On the top of thl3 mixture a piece of toasted bread wps always flouted. It was supposed to give the necessary flavor. Idea of drinking a "toast.' Is used In reference to any sentiment proposed for a speech at a social gathering or banquet. In fact, the making of "toasts" is a very g.aceful ait, worthy of cultivation. t Y Y t t v if Y ; t MAGAZINE BARGAINS.

Charles Dickens would decide on his various heads and then In his mind's eye lik en the whole 8iihj"ct to the tire of a carl wheel he lielng the hub. From the hub to the tire he would run as many spokes as there were suhj-cts to he treated and during the progress of the speech he would deal with each spoke separately, elaborating them as he went round the wheel; and when all the spokes dropped out one by one and nothing but the tire and space re mained he would know that he had accomplished his task and that Ids speech was at an end.
