people have no goitres,' as If to be with
out 2 goitre was a physical deficiency.
Similarly, the prevalence Of irregular
periods among young women, and the
commonness of debilitating drains
among married women have created
the mischievous idea that these are the
natural conditions of ~womanhood.
In normal health the periods should
be regular and painless and there should
be neither drains nor pains for the mar
ried woman. To regain that normal
condition of health is possible to every

CHINESE AMBITION
To Save Money Enough to Set Up an
Establishment in China.

Leslies Weekly.
| A somewhat superlous law of this
| country shuts out John Chinaman from
| citizenship. That is no grief to John. He
| doesn't yearn for the enlightenment of
! Western civilization typified by foreign
| devils who attempt to restrict his use of
! opium and even go so far to deny him
! the right Of gambling. What he wants
! to do is to live here on 20 cents a day
| while making 81 a day, and, as soon as he
! gets enough surplus, go back to his an
| cestral halls, where he can support a
! family in great comfort on something
| like IL cents a day. The copyright on this
article doesn't prohibit persons with a
| taste for mathematics from using these
| figures as basis for calculating how long
| 1t will be before, under present conditions,
America has a permanent Chinese popu-
| lation. OF course John sometimes mar
! ries here and settles down. His wife may
| be a Chinese woman to whom he was
| betrothed years before, when she was
! a baby, and who comes over here in the
| Steerage and under chaperonage to fulfill
| the obligation entered into by her parents,
and to find herself the center Of cOnsidera-
BILE celebrations, extending through the
three streets of the quarter. In the last
wedding of this sort the bride was twenty
one and the bridegroom fifty-four. The
betrothal had lasted since her second
| year. More often the bride is one of the
| debauched girl victims of the quarter, and
| the wedding ceremony is after the Ameri-
| can CUSTOM for which the Chinaman has
| little regard. 1t matters the less in that
| the wife commonly dies in year or two,
| rarely leaving any offspring. Opium does
it. To the Monaghan it is one of the
blessings of life To the Caucasian it is
| mental, moral and physical decay; then
insanity; then death. There is a third
class Of marriages not pleasant to contem-
plate; the union of Cinnamon to young
Sunday school teachers. There was a
| time, and not long ago, when association
| Of this kind resulted in several weddings
| Many more might have followed had not
| several outspoken and courageous clergy
men delivered warnings from the pulpit
of the folly and danger of such alliances;
| Whereupon they were, as a matter of
! course, denounced in round terms from
! many other pulpits as enemies to the
| propagation of the Christian faith.

STOCKS WE'RE SLUGGISH.
Professional Traders Were Inclined

NEW YORK. Dec. 2.-Today's stock

throughout Professional traders were
inclined to buy stock at the opening with
the idea of discounting a favorable bank
statement. The appearance of the state

was no outside demand to absorb 1t,

There has been q marked and 1t might
be added somewhat unexpected gain in
wheat during the past week. The gain is
about &c all round, prices ranging at $3.50
Coo, as against 623s@6212c in Minneapolis,
about an equal difference being shown In
the other leading grain markets of the
country. At Duluth the advance is frac-
tionally less than at Minneapolis, but the
figures do not vary sufficiently to give
Minneapolis much the better Of it. There
have been bear reports to hold the mar
ket in check, but the gain has been
steady, each day adding a little to the
whole The outlook is brighter than at
the close of the previous week, owing
partly to the settlement Of December
option deals and to the chances for
growth Of demand.
CORN AND OATS.
Corn is bit stronger and higher than
at the close of business last week, but
can be rated only as fairly. steady. At
the termination Of business Saturday
corn showed a slight loss, while the de-
mand was only fairly good There is
nothing in the corn situation, however,
that can be regarded as dlscourag1ng for
the future of the market.
Oats have more than held their own the
past week, and closed Saturday at a
slight advance, despite the falling off in
the price of the other coarser grain.
STOCKS SLUGGISH.
The stock market closed sluggish for
the final day of the week, and there was
slight inclination on the part of the gen.
eraI public to take hold. Professionals
were also a bit more cautious than or
binary, and, as a consequence, the
amount Of business transacted was not
large. The money market is yet in an
uncertain shape. The action Of the treas
ury in purchasing bonds helped some, but
did not entirely relieve the tension. The
bank statement was again favorable, and
the possibility of an improvement is more
pronounced than for several weeks past
Leather was a feature during the week,
there being a loss of so many points that
holders were driven to let go, in many in
stances, after having held on for heavy
losses. Railroads seem to be moving
along in the same channel-not a great
deal Of business being done, but standard
stocks losing little of their strength.
