HEALTH BEFORE BEAUTY.

The modern young woman ts a devotee
of physical culture. She has beta taught
*o believe that vigorous exercise im
proves her hea.th. and it does. She has
alio been convinced that indulgence is
outdoor sports enhance* her beauty,
which it doe* not. It la remarkable how
the feminine type haa changed during
the last <5o or 70 year* When oar
gran dmo* her* were celebrated and
loaned a* beauue* a diSerent ideal
reigned. The toast was then something
petite, of a pink complexion of a de
lictoua plumpness and animated by a
lively and natural emotionalism With
the introduction of athletic* and open
air exercises—admirable in their *ay—
we developed a different type, says a
health exchange %
The girl of to-day is tall, but she has
achieved height at the sacrifice of other
and more cardinal properties Du
Maurier s dream of the '7v • is unreal
ised. and so far as we can see will re
main unrealized. The fact U that wom
an Is not suited to the sports and exer
cise which she has adopted for many
year* past.
The result Is that oar women bar*' de
teriorated physically.
Bicycling Is not a suitable fm' .f* for
■woman, riding and frying and tha rest
of the gamut do her no good The one
exercise which if not only natural, but
stimulating and healthy, that it walking,
women have abandoned
The modem girl begin* early and con
tinues till her marr.age. and often
afterward, the unnatural athletic* which
ruin her figure and frequently her
health. She shoots up tall, fiat-chested,
colorless, and lacking in reasonable pro
portions . Wried and atrophied by
rough wear and unseemly habits, that
delicate form shrinks and withers from
the norm of health and beauty. No
longer have our girls the pleasant con
tours and healthy lines of muilebriety.
They tend to become asexual and to con
form to a standard, which Is not theirs,
but man s
The chief charm In women. as well as
the end nature had in view for her. is her
femininity. When that goes she loses
her birthright
The woman of today is inferior to her
mother and her grandmother :n beauty
and in health. Whereas she should have
benefited largely by the improved hy
gienic conditions of modern life her false
training has prevented her from doing
so. She gets better air probably, but
she lives more unhealthily, because she
is striving to conform to an impossible
standard
Our grandmothers (whatever their
faults) w ere the mothers of healthy chil
dren. If doctors were canvassed to-day
what report would they make as to the
motherhood of their patients? With
the decrease of muliebriety must neces
sarily go a decrease in the conditions
■which make for healths and beautiful
c hildren.
Not only are modern families smaller,
hut their conditions are more artificial.
e are rearing our daughters in a way
that roust incapacitate them largely for
the position for which nature designated
them.
TIME FOR THINKING.
The House Itrntnl Wouldn't Take
Uuile til of the Sena
tor's Salary.
A story current in Washington just
cow tells of the house-hunting experi
ence of a certain senator from the north
west, whose romantic marriage to a
Delaware lady recently received much
attention in the pres.-, relates the New
York Times.
It appears that the senator was shown
through one swell mansion by the own
er thereof in person, a woman of con
siderable moment in Washington so
ciety.
"I am not at all anxious to lease my
house during my absence from this coun
try,” explained the lady, as I shall, of
course, have to let it furnished, and I
have feared to do that because of the ex
pensive fittings 1 have placed in it. In
your case, however," she added. ”1 shall
be only too glad to rent you the house,
knowing as I do that In your hands
there will be no danger that my furni
ture will not be well taken care of. !
will lease for $4,500.”
The senator did not reply, but contin
ued to gaze out of the window just as
he had done all through the woman's
talk.
"Why. senator!” she exclaimed,
“w hat on earth are you looking at so in
tently?"
"I’m not looking at anything in par
ticular," he replied, softly, "I'm think
ing.”
“Thinking?” echoed the lady.
“Yes.” answered he. "I am thinking,
or rather wondering, what, if 1 should
take your house. I should do with the
remaining $500 of my salary."

JOin A1.KVAMU.II DOW IE.
Efforts made during the night by
Dowries supporters are said to have
netted nearly $25,000, and it was said
that Dowie might rome to Chicago
w ithout delay to take steps toward do
ing away with the receivership
Judge C. O. Kohlsaat. who appointed
the receivers on the petition of credit
ors, issued an order Wednesday, re
straining the prosecution of any suits
against Dowie pending the results of
the receivership appointed for Zion
City.
In Zion City all title to real estate is
vested in Dowie The tract of land on
which Zion is built was bought on a
five-year payment plan Several pay
ments are due, the last one falling
September 1. when Dowie paid up the
interest and asked for more time
Mortgages on the land are held by
the original owners, and foreclosure
would mean forfeiture of the lots and
houses of the followers of Dowie.
The followers of Dowie apparently
were not dismayed to find Zion City in- 1
dustries in charge of the "unhealed ”
In passing the bank and seeing the
deputy custodians on guard the Dowle
ites shrugged their shoulders and
smiled “Dr. Dowie w ill make fools i
of them all,’’ declared one of the
Dowiettes “He Is laughing up his
sleeve at them now."
The policy which might be pursued
by the receivers was discussed by At
torneys Solomon O. Levison, of coun- i
sel for the receivers, and V V. Barnes
Dowies attorney. “We do not intend
to lay paralytic hands upon Zion." said
the former. Attorney Barnes declared
that Zion would pay dollar for dollar.
A proposition to make Dowie man- !
ager under the receiver appeared to
meet with favor with the present
court's officers.

St Petersburg, I>ec. 3 —The inquiry
has been made at the foreign office re
specting the announcement from Paris
that a basis for an agreement between
‘ Russia and Japan had been reached.
It was ifpossible to secure any con
firmation beyond the statement that a
mutual desire for peace exists, to
which both negotiants have expressed
adherence. With this end in view,
they have both decided temporarily to
( put aside questions whose decision, on
account of the position of each, is
found to be impracticable. The nego
tiations. to far as Russia is concerned
are confined to delimiting the rights of
railroad, telegraph, etc . of each in
Corea Japan holds in abeyance the
Manchurian questions. concerning
which Russia declines to treat, on the
ground that they are matters between
her and China, until she ascertains
whether a satisfactory arrangement is
reachable regarding Corea.

of the ci’y officials who were arrested
ten days ago on 'he charge of bribery
as the result of Lant K Salsfcury's con
fess: oa to the prosecuting attorney,
hare decided to waive examination in

the result of a conference of attorneys
for the implicated men A majority in
sisted that several aldermen who have
not already confessed were weakening,
and that they would take ’he stand and
tell all they kne-r, the conviction of
the others tht’s being assured. It was
their contention that it was better to
plead guilty in hope of lenient treat
ment.

This step has occasioned satisfac

have been satisfied a'.! along that Sal
bury was telling the truth in the mam.
Just what portion of his confession, if
any. is not true, I am unable to de
termine. but results so far bear out my
be lief in the truth of the major portion
of it He may have dragged in certain
innocent ones, but he certainly has
landed many of the guilty ones ”
