Struck) a bit of luck to-day (says a columnist in the Christchureh btcir.) Going past a -book shop 1 saw in the window "The i Gompieat Bachelor, and I bought it. The first article is headed, "11 you can't find the toiopsner," and gives twelve dirfereni ways ol opening a can when the correct implement cannot be found. The next article gives ten ways of eating-tinned tongue. -.Tins pimple dish is apt to pall on bachelors s after the fifth day, but if the directions of the 'book are followed there is no necessity for a cihange under three weeks. All that as needed is for the imagination to be stimulated. A slice of lemon upon it, and a tongue can pass for flounder or sole; with mint, or apple sauce, it becomes automatically lamb or pork. Pick it up and eat it with the fingers and it is a wing or leg of fowl, and by suspending it from the Ceiling 011 a, string, and tying the hands, it tastes like a treacled bun, while served with a ~ couple of slugs at is lettuce or cress. The third section is largely statistical. states that if all the time wasted on making

beds was put end on end, at would reach from-here to punedin and back fourtoctti times, and further on it says that if plates were not washed up but were scraped once a year, the fat thus saved would pay off the National Debt in three months. The fourth section gives forty-four ways of opening cans if the tin-opener is lost, and the other twelve schemes won't work. No married man should be without it.
