Sanitary Marriage,

There are thousands of young men
and women who, by reason of their in
firmities, ought never to marry. These
infrmities come from our schools. on
account of absence of a proper system
of physical culture. They come from
lily ventilated counting-r and fac
tories from foul tenements and close
parlors. Pale and puny, these young
men and women present every phase
of bodily imperfections-clearly prov
ing that the very first lesson that
should be impressed upon growing
youth is the supreme Importance of
healthy bodies.
No young woman is handsome un-
less healthy. The beauty of health
continues to old age. The Spartans
worshiped the beautiful and useful,
and took means to secure them.
Bodily perfection was attained by
enforced, well-appointed exercise. No
sickly man or woman was allowed to
marry, and all in health were COM
PEELED to do SO; if they refused, they
were punished. Bachelors, after q
certain age, were shut out from the So
ciety Of women, and once year were
publicly shamed. No one was allowed
to marry until full maturity was
reached The result was that for 500
years the Spartans produced the
strongest and bravest men, and the
most healthy and beautiful women
that the world has ever seen. A little
Spartanism would be of incalculable
benefit to, Americans. Dr.. ,Skckney,

Dun 81 Co.'s Agency Report an Improve
ment and Increased Activity.
The review of trade for last week as re-
ported by R. G.. Dun q Co.:
Trade during the week was undisturbed by the
monetary pressure often experienced the
end of the year. and was on the whole improved.
The long foreShadOWed break in wheat specula-
ton came, but there was some recovery; sales
at New York amounted to but II, 900 90 bushels
for the week, and it is still uncertain whether
prices declined enough to permit marketing OF
the large surplus this country has on hand.
Enormous crops in Russia and the Danubian
states, with lower lfreights keep European
prices low, and there is constant unloading
by operators throughout Europe who bought
heavily when the crop scare prevailed. Cotton
was steady with sales of 310,000 bales and coffee
unchanged with 204 900 bags Sold A break in
oil dropped the price So cents, and refined also
declined 10 cents per 100 gallons. No monetary
pressure forced liquidation; throughout the
country the money markets are amply supplied,
though slight clOSeness is noted in st. Paul, and
frequency of failure causes uneGsiness at Mem
phis. The Treasury is still putting out more
money than it takes in-$1, 100000 during the
week. The excess of exports over i'm
ports for November reached 500, 51O-
394 merchandise and rs, 415,415 gold. Trade
accounts from the interior were generally
satisfactory. The If on, STEEL and coal trades
at Pittsburg were dull. Cold weather at Omaha
Reports of railroad traffic show the east-bound
shipments for the week were Ill 600 tons, the
largest ever exported, against 5000 tons for the
corresponding week last year. Earnings con-
tinued good. The year closes with general con-
hdence, rather greater, indeed, than the present
state of prices and rate of consumption in some
OF the important industries appear to warrant.
The business failures numbered 299, against
I'll the week before, and $50 the week previous.
For the corresponding week of last year the fig

PRADO PAYS THE PENALTY.
The Murderer of Marie Aguetant Meets

His Death in Paris with Bravado.
PradO, the mysterious Mexican who muir
dered Marie Aguetant January IA. 1886, was
guiilotined at Paris. France, in the Place de
la ROquette. He protested his innocence of
the murder to the last and declared against
the injustice of this world. He refused to
disclose his real name, and the mystery
which surrounded his life is probably
buried forever. A Paris special says:
about two hundred prominent Journalists,
politicians and others witnessed the execution
which was ~mpleted in fifty seconds without
the slightest mishap. Prado, in walking from the
prison to the guillotine, showed no signs of fear.
His arms were pinioned tightly behind his back,
SO tightly, indeed, that his head drawn far
beyond the perpendicular. His apparel con-
sisted of a heavy wooden undersnirt and dark
trousers. The shirt had been roughly cut away
from about the neck and shoulders. In front

height of five feet AS Prado neared this four
bury men, dressed in blouses of blue and
white striped ticking sprung forward, seized
the condemned man, hurled him onward
against the upright board, flung themselves
upon him, and by their weight bore the
struggling victim, face downward to the top
of the low platform. The board worked on IL
swivel and ran on rollers. In an instant it had
boon wheeled forward until the neck of the man
was under the glistening knife. M. Deibler, who
had stood like man of stone at the right of the

and the head OF Prado lay among the shavings

are 100000 in all or $50, 900 against each of
the defendants. The plaintiff claims that he
leased Oil privileges to NJ. r. and O. N. Hay
maker of six acres of his land in 1877. and
that the defendants by assignment held this
lease, which did not include the natural gas
producer. In January 1876, he alleges. he
leased to the same parties twenty-seven
acres in addition, and under the terms
Of this lease the stone coal, and gas
were to remain with plaintiff in fee simple.
This lease was also assigned to the de-
PENDANTS. The plaintiff claims that this
lease was ante dated to Jan. Is. 1878, and
that he never acknowledged the execution
of the lease, and the name of James c..
Ferguson, Justice Of the Peace. before
whom it purports to have been acknoWl-
edged, was not the signature of said magis-
trate, but forgery; that the procurement
Of the new lease was a fraud upon plaintiff,

mittee cannot again call it up or, in
deed, call up any other bill until every
other committee has had it's turn.
Filibustering for the two hours sends
it to kingdom come" It was thus
that General Weaver scotched Wilkins
bill giving national banks al increase
of 10 per cent. in circulation.
The only remaining chance rests
with the Chairman of committee re-
porting bill. When the calendar is
loaded with measures from his COM
mittee, he asks that a day or days be
set apart for their consideration. The
request goes to the Committee on Rules
"a committee which holds the key to all
legislation. It's five members are o
sort OF close corporation in lawmaking.
ALI are old members, and all are mem
bers of privileged committees. They
can upset the car of legislation at any
time. With their consent and that of
the House, the Chairman gets his tim g
allowance. He then selects the meas
ure for consideration. If any deter
mined opposition is shown, he with
draws it and substitutes another bill.
His allotted time may then be ex-
hausted without the passage of any
bill whatever. 1t was thus that the
elght-hour relief and the prison con-
tract labor bills were coppered.
Escaping all these dangers and pass
ing the House, a bill is only fairly on
the road to success 1t has to encoun-
ter similar troubles in the Senate In
committee and in the Senate Chamber
every Senator has hack at it. It may
be SO battered out of shape that it's
sponsor will fail to recognize it, and it
may afterward be lost in committee of
conference. Shrewd members take adj
vantage of the conference committee.
They accept seeming defeat as a step
ping stone to the advancement of the
passage of a measure. Thus, if an
amendment is proposed which aims to
kill the bill it may be gracefully ac-
cepted. The other house NAV refuse
to accept it, thus throwing the bill into
conference committee. IF this COM
mittee agrees to it without the OBJ
noxious amendment the report is priv
LEGGED, and can hold the floor until
vote is taken, whereas pending the
amendment the bill could have been
slde-tracked by dozen switches.
Even if a bill passes the Senate in
it's original form, blunder in the
Joint Committee on Enrolled Bills
may prove fatal. When it finally
reaches the President it is not safe.
Enemies may Turk in the White House
ready to deal it a deadly blow. With
the Presidents signature it has no sure
lease of life. It's usefulness may be i'm
paired by the action of an overzealous
official, and the Supreme Court may
find it unconstitutional.
