Old Maids.
An Illinois editor is about to IdHiic
a epcelal number of his newspaper for
the bachelor girls of the town! Old
batches who altu single blessedness,
would better lake to the woods. With
the old maids, tlie editor und the
"devil" linked against them, there Is
salvation only In tlie better pail of
valor. Another editor, a Wisconsin
scribe, nolilled tho public ho would
print u list nl forty bachelor women
willing to wed. The announcement
caused a panic and the editor wus le
gally barred from serving humanity
according lo his prenrraiu'cd scheme.
The editor .should retaliate by print
ing the mimes of all tho old maiilr, in
town who don't want to get married,
thereby suggesting by Inference thoco
who do! Thin would be a much
briefer tnsk und would offend no one.
There Is more t lit ii one way to get un
old maid married.

The chairs commonly used in thea

verse direction, resulting by the Im
mediate congestion of the entirely too
contracted aisles. Tlie object of a re-
cut Invention Is to provide a chair
which will materially enable the pub

or emergency. Hide rraines or the
clialts are placed In rows and parallel
to each other, each of which serves
for the attachment or a folding seat
and a back. When nut In use the
hinged sent is turned up alongside
ono side frame. The hinged back
closes in next to It. A spring engages
with the edge or the bnck. preventing
it rrom accidentally dropping. The
sent being folded toward the back,
the. latter Is Ireo rrom connection
with the next side frame, thus all'ord
