THE WHEELS OF HEALTH.

There Is no better exercise for young
woman in thoroughly good health than
bicycling ON the contrary, il she suffers
from weakness or disease of the distinctly
feminine organs, if she rides, at all. such
exercise should be very sparingly INDUCED
in. Women are peculiarly constituted and
their general health is peculiarly dependent
upon the health of the specially feminine
organism
Ii is the health of these delicate and i'm.
portant parts that makes the wheels of
general health go round" Their strength
and vigor are as important to woman as
handspring to a watch, or sprocket and
chain to a bicycle. DR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is the best of all medicines for
delicate women 1t makes them strong
where they most need strength. Taken
during the interesting interval, y it ban
ishes the usual squeamishness and makes

CHICAGO MARKET DEC. 20.

Wheat was very strong to-day. A
variety of causes operated to bring
about this result, the chief one being
big clearances and buying of May
wheat by brokers who have been act
ing for those who have been bulling
the December option. There is also a
distinct improvement in the business
of commission houses from outside
buyers, which indicates that the pub
lie thinks May wheat cheap at present
prices and is inclined to get into the
market on the long side. Should this
sentiment become general it will
prove powerful factor in the en-
hancement of values, and those who
have all along been friendly to wheat
say that public buying will increase
perceptibly during the winter months.
Corn was in sympathy with wheat
to day, the trade being active at dis
tinctly better prices. Although on
paper there is plenty of corn in sight,
advices received by Schwartz, Dupee
& Co. indicate that with the constant
advance in wheat there must come an
increased demand for corn, and they
therefore look for much better prices
in the near future.
Provisions were much higher with
the market strongest on the top. The
run of hogs was below the estimates,
and another important point was the
fact that the weights are decreasing,
showing that the best animals have
been marketed. Cash trade continues
good, and the outlook in this branch
of trade is far more rosy than it has
been.

Mr.. Sinclair has written the elders
of the First church to say that he can
not decide whether he will accept the
call until it has reached him; that he
is as happy where he is as he can be,
and is in no hurry to rush ont of Red
wood Falls; that the best way, under
the circumstances, is to wait patiently
until the regular meeting OF the pres
bytery Of St. Paul on Jan. ID, and
give the presbytery it's time to sustain
the call in the regular way, if it sees
fit to do so; to prepare reasons of
translation and appoint commission
ers to present the reasons to the first
meeting of Mankato presbytery. The

They were worshipped as household
