There never was, and never will be. The men who try that are simply fools and soon come to grief-as they deserve. Now many persons are, nevertheless, afraid to buy certain advertised articles lest they be humbugged and deluded; especially are they slow to place confidence in published statements of the marits of medicines. The remedy known as WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION is as safe and genuine an article to purchase at flour, silk or cotton goods from the mills of manufacturers with a world-wide reputation We could not afford to exaggerate its qualities or misrepresent it in the least; and it is not tains the nutritive and curative properties ofject to rent.

THE BACHELOR. GIRL,

The typical bachelor is young and rather flighty. She has by no means renounced' the idea of matrimony, but she detests family life. Whether she lives by her wits or on an allow Apce, she does her best to imitate the young cigarettes, has her meals in restaurants, never man about town. She smokes innumers

goes to bed early on principle, works hard at amusement. She is extravagant, and walks in the shadow of debt when she does walk, Cabs relieve her of the recessity as often as possible, Indeed, it was said of one bachelor wirl that a friend apologised for not hav Dg called on her, when he was in London with "I am very sorry. I did not know the number of your cab,"

The bachelor girl is light-hearted, irrespon sible, and careless of "les convenances." Her.

flistations are harmless, because she generally indulges in a round dozen simultaneourly, and the proverb of safety in numbers is as true as it ever was. She likes to be considered "a dog of a fellow,' but at heart she is generally modest and pure.

Her taste is not of the best. She has pretty hair, yet she goes to the hair dresser to have it brightened and "touched up." She has a good skip, yet sho tesorts to pigments red pad-white-

USEFVE HINTS.

A large number of these accidents occur close to the shore, and the person can be quickly brought to land, but there are not ́always prople on the spot who understand the

correct method of restoring animation.

Therefore, Mr. Henry consider it highly desirable that everyone should possess this knowledge, even though they are non-swim-

mers themselvas,

'The newest and most simple method is that invented by Prof. E. A. Schafer, of Edinburgh University, which has been adopted by the Royal Life Saving Society. This is applicable not only to cases of drowning, but to the effects of partial suffocation or electrical shock.

Briefly, the method consists in first placing the patient face downwards with the face to the right or left, so that the nose and mouth do not touch the ground,
