“LIFE: HERE has recently been published a very clever book by Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Learned, Mrs. Learned has with great judgment and d F cretion selected from the world of literature « $ tations which her husband has illustrated. ‘The introduction has been written by Wallace Invin and is as follows: 10- The Son of Adam, doomed to stray ‘ From Eden’s pleasant sod, Still wonders ina dreamy way ‘Throughout the Land of Nod, He goes about avoiding trees And wom F He takes to i ‘The species serpentine. n's wiles serene, wer wh he sees Yet woman peeps from shades and nooks, F Or plain or picturesque; He finds her in his games, his books, He finds her at his desk Until, poor man! He can’t forego | The yearning for a wife. Love makes a Purgatorio Of Adam Junior's life. In vain he flams his brain with fibs His heart will not believe. He knows he'd give a dozen ribs To reconstruct his Eve. Coffee made in the "Uni- versal® tastes just as it smells. That rich, fragrant aroma is pre- served because there is no escaping Ream. No boiling water to release the unwholesome properties which cause the bitter taste. The valve you see at the base of the tube forces the water as it increases in temperature up on to the ground coffee in the filter cup, through which it percolates into the reservoir beneath. The water must boil in other machines before it can be forced up the tube on to the coffee. By the time the boiling point is reached in the "Universal,® coffee that is fresh, wholesome and nutritious can be drawn from the faucet. Percolating Coffee Machine Produces a pure, wholesome, delicious cup of coffee that just touches the right spot. Can be used in any room in the house, any time, and for every occasion where coffee is to be served. One of the most useful and convenient articles you could have in your home. But, ah, the beauties that entice Are just beyond his reach. He swears the Fruit of Paradi Is verily a Peach. I, happy day! In bridal gown They take the golden train For Eden, where they settle down And start to raising Cain. y Following are some of the extracts from the If Adam b example wh be M d had before his eyes the warning he set, it is doubtful if he would have as casily fooled as are his sons.—Lisle de Vaux omar It may have taken a hundred centuries of ev tion to change a monkey into a man, but it takes only a few minutes and a pint of whisky to change a man into.a monkey.—/Terman Lee Meader. : An unmarried man is but half of a perfect bein and it requires the other half to make things right, and it cannot be expected that in this imperfect state he can keep the straight path of rectitude any more than a boat with one oar or a bird with one wing can keep a straight course In one sense men are not fickle except in trifles. y change their clothes, their language and their bits, but they always preserve their evil inclina- ons, are firm and constant in wrongdoing, and in their indifference to virtue.—La Bruyere. us Anon. The "Universal" is a model of simplicity. By raising the glass dome all the working parts—the filter cup, spreader plate, tube, and valve are removed from the machine at one operation, ‘The body is made of one piece of copper—no seams, no joints. It is inseparable from the base— easily handled; lined with a coating of pure tin—easily cleaned; heav- ily nickel plated—will not tarnish. Hardware dealers and housefurnish- ing stores sell the "Universal® in diferent atyles and sizes. May we send you our free booklet? It fully descnbes the Universal® principle of fering the water through the coffee before the iched. It i worth the pow how to get the best oat of coffee.

If heaven had looked upon riches to be a valuable thin would not have given them to such a scoundrel. —Swift. At twenty men love women ; at forty, girls; at fifty, themselves. —Minna Thomas Antrim. The cigarette is for the trivial moments of life, the cigar for its fulfilments, its pleasant, comfortable retrospections, but in real distress, in the solving of questions, the fighting of difficulties, the pipe is man’s cternal solace.—Katherine Cecil Thurston, “The Masquerader: The man who is dainty, pretty and unspeakably smooth when he makes love to you has had alto- gether too much practice.—Lilian Bell Man is the sum total of all the animals. —Professor Oken. One of these fellows with pink tea instead of red blood in his veins, who hadn’t any opinions except your opinions, until he met some one else.
