the race, and to all such the following from the
Chicago Herald cannot fail to prove of INTEREST,"
Every student of history knows that the Spar
tans worshiped the beautiful and the useful and
that they took the means to get them. Bodily
perfection and mental activity were attained by
wel-appolnted exercise and healthy parents. The
sickly and the constitutionally diseased were not
allowed to marry the healthy were punished if
they did not marry. Men that were unmarried
after certain age were excluded from the society
OF women, and once year were exhibited IN pub
lie as a warning to other and younger men. Young
men and young women were not allowed to marry
before they had attained maturity or cut loose from
parental leadstrings.
This Spartan system, which was purely for the
welfare of the State was in force for five hundred
years, and no Drawer nor stronger men, no more
healthy nor more beautiful women were ever seen
than in old Sparta.
Few would wish to see Spartanism revived in
these days, but we may learn some valuable les
sons from that ancient State. We may also learn
something from our newly-born sister republic,
Brazil, where there is remarkable and self-im-
posed family custom in regard to marriages in the
higher classes. The man about to marry is re-
CURED to furnish certificate from one or more
physicians that he is free from diseases of GER
tain class, and that he is free also from all signs of
any of the diseases that are transmissable to the
offspring. And further than this, the physicians
must testify that SO far they can learn there is
reason 10 believe that the marriage will be other
wise than in accord with sanitary laws. We, as a
people, are taking more interest in the proper
kinds of physical culture than before. Our women
are coming to know that they can dress just as
well without dstorting their bodies and imperiling
their health. But the day of the truly sanitary
marriage is long way off. Meanwhile, great
many people are getting married that should re-
main single.

and many weeks before the day came, had settled
in her own mind the precise present she should
bought them yet-oh, my, no! Why suppose that
anything should happen (life is so uncertain, you
