HOW WOMEN STAND.
A Woman CalIs the Attention of Women
to IA Defect of Their Sex.

10 IA btlect OF sex.
American women, be it said to their
credit, are beginning to apply the rules
cf physical development. Three women
were discussing the general interest in
physical training for women in a res
taurant not long ago 1t was one of
those little places where man feels
himself conspicuous, for it was patron
lied almost exclusively by women shop
tvis. One of the takers was white
haired, another was middle aged and
the third was an athletic looking girl
just out of her teens. The middle aged
woman turned out to be a teacher of
physical culture, and she talked in such
clear, practical way that pretty soon
all the women at the nearby tables were
listening to the conversation of the trio.
II all started this way:
81 wouldn't order chocolate cellars if
were you, said the middle aged wom-
an to the girl.
"Why not;" asked the girl. I'm
not in training now. AS long as l was
ON the basket ball team wouldn't have
dreamed of giving such an order, but
I'm Il graduate now, and chocolate
eclairs are so goodr"
''They aren't good for you,' insisted
the middle aged woman. You told me
yourself that you were never in such
perfect health as when you were i'll
training and confined yourself to nu-
tritious, wholesome food.
THAT'S So" acquiesced the girl
meekly, but without countermanding
her order.
Physical culture teachers as a rule
make three mistakes" continued the
middle aged woman, sailing her rare
roast beef vigorously by way of empha-
sis. 81 think the first question they
should put to pupil is, How do you
stand?'
Standing is a lost art, and, as for
sitting, so far in the history of this
world of ours it has never become an
art Few women know how to stand
correctly. Watch em as they file up to
the desk there to pay their checks.

with her abdomen thrown out and the
upper part of her body held back She

and yet her habitual method of standing
is just the cause of the trouble. Glance

all wrong. You can see that her abdom-

House PASSES THE BILL RAISING
THE RATE FROM $40 TO
$25.
COUNTRY AGAINST CITIES
AND THE MEMBERS FROM THE
RURAL DISTRICTS HAD THEIR
WAY,
VICTORY FOR THE COMMISSION
Voting Machine Bill On the Table
Several Proposed Measures Here
tOfOre Killed Are Dug Up.

A ha1f-hour was spent by the house
yesterday afternoon in a discussion of
the subject of fish and fishing. The
matter came up on the third reading Of
Mr.. underleak's bill to raise the license
fee upon pound nets used in interna-
tional waters from SO to $25. Mr.. I'm
| derleak explaining the bill, said that
the license fee charged by the Canadian
government was $50 per net, and that
the records Of the state fish and game
commission show that these nets were
owned and controlled by a close cor
poration, making it a practical monop-
! oily. although nominaHy each company
could own not more than fifty nets. He
also stated that there was a standing
offer of $50 a net for the exclusive privi-
lege of fishing with the use of pound
nets in the international waters con-
tiguous to the United States.
Henry Johns opposed the bill. He
said it was an unfair discrimination
against the poor fishermen on the
northern frontier; all that they caught
was sturgeon, for the roe to be made
into imported Russian caviar. Mr..
Donnelly took exception to the remarks
of Mr.. Johns, saying that he was OPP
posed to the wholesale slaughter Of
fish and game, which Mr. Johns had
justified as an evidently natural result
of the progress of civilization
Mr.. Douglas said the $25 license fee
was too low rather than too high The
city members, a a rule were against
the increase, but the country legisla-
tors favored it. and the bill was passed
Some misunderstanding arose in the
consideration of a bill Oh F. 1889 by
Mr.. Snodgrass to authorize the pur-
chase by county commissioners, city
and village councils and township trus-
tees Of voting machines and their use
at any election. Mr. Snyder sought to
amend the bill so that it would not
permit only one patented machine
which automatically conceals'' the
vote Of any member. Mr. Stockwell OBJ
jected to any change in the bill, thus
forcing the friends of the measure TO
vote for a monopoly or against any
voting machine at all. Mr.. C0e attempt
ed to get around the objection by lay
ing the bill on the table and then TAX
ing it UP under a suspension of the
rules. This failed. and the bill remain
ed upon the table
Mr.. Goss introduced a resolution
which recitas that numerous important
bills are being retained in committee
and directs that all bills now withheld
be reported out by April14 The reso-
luton was opposed by Mr.. Meyers,
Speaker Jones and fudge Littleton, on
the score of economy of time, etc, and
upon motion Of Mr.. Meyers the resolu-
ton went to the committee on rules

WHAT Is YOUR TRADE?
Each Trade or Occupation Has Its
Special Disease.

SpeciaI disease.
1t is we'll known among medical men
that certain diseases are more readily
developed in certain occupations than
IN others That each occupation has
its attendant physical weakness. Engi-
neers, railroad men and similar Occu-
patiOns suffer mostly from kidney
troubles and men who are often expOs-
ed to the weather suffer from rheuma-
tism, while clerks and professional men
in fact the army Of people whose bust
ness keeps them indoors, are Oftentimes
great sufferers from piles and cOnsti-
patton. In this connection the follow
ing letter is of interest to people whose
occupation will not allow sufficient out
door exercise.
Mr.. A. +. Calhoun, notary public and
jeweler and matchmaker, Of Circle
vile, w. Va, writes as follows:
[ had been a severe sufferer from
piles for years and had tried many
remedies with but little benefit. when
about three years ago saw the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure advertised and sent for
it.
I was badly afflicted when I got them.
but after only two applications the
piles disappeared and from that day to
this I have never felt q symptom of
the disease.
1 feel that [ cannot recommend them
too highly to sufferers from piles
The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from
cocaine, opium or any mineral poison,
absolutely safe. pleasant and painless
sold by druggists at 80 cents per pack
age. If there is any constipation the
Pyramid Pills should be used with the
pile cure. The pills are rs cents per
package.
Any druggist will tell you that the
Pyramid is the best known and most
successful and popular pile cure ever
placed on the market and its reputation
as a safe and radical cure has only
resulted from the personal recommend
alton of people who have been cured
of this distressing ailment.
Send to Pyramid Co, Albion, Mich,
for valuable little book on the cause
and cure of piles.

BEEN.
SENATE SPENDS A HARD DAY,
TO A FINISH ONCE FOR
ALL.
REArPoRTIoNMENT IS HUNG UP.
Senate Also Struggles With the
VoIuminOus Game and Fish Law
Prepared In Committee.

The senate yesterday killed the de-
partment store bill. although not until
a most valiant fight had been made
for it by Senator Theden, Senator
Sperry, Senator RingdaI and others
The discussion occupied all day, with
the exception Of an interruption oc-
casionally caused by the reappOrtiOn-
ment report or other similar incident
the only other momentous work done
being the taking up Of the other spe-
cial order, the big game and fish bill,
which was left unfinished till this
morning.
When the senate went into commit
tee Of the whole on the department
store bill, Senators Theden and w. Z.
Johnson had tilt over whether or
not there was a lobby against the
bill. in which Senator Theden had a
little the best of it from the daily
prominence of the lobbyists, whose
faces are as familiar to the sergeant
alarms as those Of any of the senators
themselves
Senator Theden moved that the bill
be passed, Senator W. E. Johnson
that it be indefinitely postponed, but
If it was to be passed he sent UP a re-
arrangement of the grocery cIassili-
cation at the request of the retail gro
GERS of Minneapolis The amendment
was accepted by the author.
Senator Knatvold wanted the bill
limited to cities of over 5000.
Senator Johnson, continuing, de-
clared that the dry goods classification5
were equally unsatisfactory, and then
took up the attitude of labor thereon.
He read a report from district assem-
bly, No 10, Knights of Labor, Minneap-
dis, being that headed by such promi-
hent labor agitators as z. A Malone.
Thos- H. Lucas and others, in which
the Minneapolis department stores
were praised as in accord with the
teachings Of the order, to bring the
producer as nearly to the consumer
rs possible.
Senators Schaller and Sperry op-
posed the knatvoId amendment The
tmaller cities do not want the evil
that was driven out of the big ones.
Senator Ringdal opposed the Knat-
Fold amendment to require a 10 per cent
petition Of the electors and a 10 per
eent petition from the class which
would be taxed under the bill before
dty councils could take steps to in
Ititute the license tax.
Senator McHale thought the bill
Ihould apply to all cities.
Senator Thorpe said he was sur-
erised by the remark of Senator John
lon showing that his constituents had
Topped" completely around. Why
lid he not submit a bill to give his
constituents what they wanted. rIuck
should have it's reward, and business
enterprise, but there should also be a
limit to the aggression of a trade that
lad developed vicious tendencies and
vas a menace to the safety of the
nation.
Senator Potter said the bill was op-
posed by the smaller grocers in the
outlying districts, although it would
De an advantage to those nearer the
heart of the city. The laboring people
If his constituency also opposed the
bill
Senator McHale said the bill was a
Iuzzle, but yielded to motion for a
loon recess.
After the recess Senator McHale said

mittee. but he did not feel that exact
justice had been done to everybody
A slight delay might adjust these diff
ferences, and he held the bill in its
present form must receive its third
reading to have q roll call
He moved that the committee be
given one more day and report at II
o'clock tomorrow, in order that all in
terests might be harmonized, and he
felt this would be accomplished. The
motion carried.
The game and fish bill was then
taken up, having been special order
since morning, and it was taken up
section by section.
The first provided for a commission
Of five as at present. Senator Potter
offered an amendment to make a state
game warden at a salary Of s., 500 q
year supercede it. This was beaten
after short discussion Of the commits
sion idea in general by Senators Greer,
Miller, Ringdal, Hanson and others.
Senator Wyman wanted the bill
amended SO that the bill should apply
only to game Of the state of Mime
sofa. Otherwise, he thought, the bill
would be unconstitutional, Interfering
with Interstate commerce. Senators
Fuller and Culkin said that could wait,
and it was withdrawn.
Section 2 fixing the terms of Office at
S1A years CACSPl l1dLl the nISL OOd10
shall be two for two years, two for
four and one for six years. was
adopted.
No objection was made to section 5.
but Senator Roverud wanted to strike
out subdivision Il Of section 4, giving
the commission the right to employ an
attorney, who, If the county attorney
did not prosecute, might take his place.
Senator Sperry said the county attor
ney should be the judge Of when an
offense had been committed. Senator
Culkin said the theory of the law did
not make the county attorney a judge
or dictator, and If he did not enforce
the game laws, some one else should.
Senator Schaller said that the adOp
ton Of the section would lessen the
expense on each county where prosecu-
lions were to be made, but the private
prosecution was against the spirit of
the government.
An adjournment was then taken IN
til this morning.
The Wing reform school certificate
bill was referred to the author, on mo-
ton Of Senator Wyman.

Mr.. Lloyd started uphill fight in oppo-

MED the opportunity Of amending it so as to
give the board the power to lower as we'll as
raise assessments. He thought the BILL as
drawn was unfair to the cities. Mr.. Coe also
entered a vigorous protest to the measure.
The house. after extended debate had been
had, showed him scant courtesy, however,
and his words fell upon deaf ears. There
were calls for the previous question but Mr..
Cray was recognized, and called attention to
representation on the state board, which was
the basis of his opposition TO a bill which
