NURSES LIVES uNRoMANTIc.
Seldom Marry Physicians or Patients
They Have Attended.

1t is generally supposed that there
is a good deal of romance about the
life of professional nurse and that
large hospitals are matrimonial
bureaus where men and women fall in
love with incessart regularity. Elk.
actly the opposite is true. Nurses, as
a rule, do not marry men whom they
have nursed as patients, nor do they
select for husbands the physicians
with whom they come in contact in .
professional way.
In the last year and Il half but one
engagement among the nurses at the
Chicago hospital has been announced,
and the incident was so unusual that
j. created no end of comment. The
affair was, in fact. an extreme novelty.
although the female attaches of the
institution are unusually good looking
This proves that nurses do not
lead the romantic lives that they are
credited with by the outside world
said a physician. II have frequently
heard it said that men who had been
seriously i'll often married the trained
nurses who had taken care of them
This is nonsense. have employed
hundreds of these women nurses in
the course OF my practice, and have
yet to hear of a match resulting from
one of them. AS general thing the
patient takes an aversion to the nurse
who has cared tor him. and the better
sne has locked after him and the more
strictly she has enforced the doctors
instructions the less he has cared for
her.
Physicians sometimes fall in love
with the nurses they meet in their
practice. but such affairs. instead of
being common. are rare. If any girl
enters the profession with the idea of
capturing husband she is cpt to find
herself sadly sold"

Marriage by Proxy.

A curious custom among the rul-
ers Of the old world is marriage by
proxy. For instance, Francis H.,
the ex-king of Naples, was welded
by proxy in 1859 to Maria, duchess
of Bavaria. Of course the marriage
by proxy goes no further than the
ceremony. Exactly why it should
be done at all is not clear by past or
present history, unless to save the
prince the trouble of going after his
wife and give her decent excuse
for coming to him.
In the case of Francis he had nev-
er seen Maria, and their first inter-
view is said to have been attended
with considerable disappointment.
In fact, if the young man had not
been already married by proxy he
would probably have never married
the lady at all.

Weekly Market Letter.

The following market letter is fur
n;shed by Edwards, Wood & Co.,
Grain commission merchants,
Chamber of Commerce, Minneapolis,
80 Board of Trade, Duluth.
April 3. wheat closed today at 695
and II respectively for the May and
July options. Du,ing the week the
May wheat has been down to 694 and
up to II cents: The Easter holidays
and the Chicago election interfered
with trading, all exchanges being
closed on Friday, all foreign ex-
changes closed on Saturday and
Monday and the Chicago Board
closed on Tuesday. The markets
have been very dull, price changes
beng determined almost altogether
by crop news. The latest reports
concerning the condition of winter
wheat are more hopeful. The Cincin-
natl price current says "wheat is
fully maintaining a fairly good con-
dition." The government report
says "There is marked improvement
in the Central Valleys aud some
damage in California from heavy
rains" Primary receipts for last
week were p million bu. compared
with over 4 million bu. for the same
period last year; exports we're $780,
600 bu. compared with 100000 bu,
last year; northwest country elevator
stocks decreased p million bu. dur.
ing March to 2,289,OO0 bu., the
smallest amount on record for April
1st. The United Kingdom, Cont
mental and Argentine stocks COM
bined are over eleven million bu.
smaller than for the same period last
year. The small receipts and rapidly
decreasing stocks must affect prices
before long.

INDUSTRIAL COMBINATIONS.

The effect of industrial combin-
atoms, better known as trusts, upon
society is subject that is being freely
agitated all over the United States
Not only through the columns of the
press is the result of these conbin-
atoms being discussed, but the peo~
pie everywhere in political speeches
and debates are voicing their senti-
ments regarding the vast aggregation
of capital, which is so common in our
day. The following upon the SUBJ
ject was written by William R. Mer-
RAM, director of the census, for the
March Atlantic Monthly:
I think is undeniable that great
wealth in the hands Of a few man
and especially in the hands of bright
and able men, is always more or less
dangerous to the state. Even though
they may be men of high character
and personal integrity, they will prob
ably hold that efforts to influence by
improper inducements, the acton of
legislators and assessors and of men
in authority who may, under certain
circumstances, have the power to do
things adverse to their interests, are
permissible, on the principle that the
end justifies the means. The politi-
cal influence of these large aggrega-
tons of capital is the chef danger,
and the one which will be the hardest
to eradicate. 1t may safely be pre-
dicted that there will be some sort of
supervision over them sooner or later.
This supervision ought not be such
as to interfere with the pursuit of the
business for which they we're incor-
porated; but it ought to give their
transactions such publicity as will
not only protect the investors who
buy their securities, but rlso convey
to the great mass of consumers some
conception of the profits which arise
from the existance of Industrial com.

sizes and shapes he rapidly concludes
that he has entered land Of cruelty
where man hath no bowels of COM
passion for the dumb brute. The

monger, the general dealer, all con-
7ey their goods through the streets

wealth in dogfesh; more often we
see pair cheerfully plodding along;
occasionally the load is heavy
enough to tax the energies of three
