There are few physicians who will not recall many cases in which a girl, perfectly healthy till her marrage and a long wedding trip, is never healthy again. The number of women who date a life of chronic invalidism to a wedding trip is not small. So apparent have been these evils that it is reported a custom has arisen by which the demands of fashion for a wedding trip shall be combined witli and yet the newly married couple enjoy a period of repose and quit, all by themselves. The plan is to make ostensible arrangements for a trip, and even drive to the station, but in reality turn back to a hotel, or some intimate friend's in which, all alone by themselves, tho newly married couple shall begin their life journey. Marriage is one of the epochs of life.

It is peculiarly related to tlie physical well being of both parties and to the unborn. To the young wife, there has been long and exhausting excitement in arranging for the event. To this is added an entrance upon physical relations utterly new to her. Surely this is quite enough to bear in the retirement of a quiet homo, or away, from inquiring acquaintances. Certainly this is enough without the discomfort of railway travel, the exhustion of hurrying from place to place, tlie excitement of new scenes and peoplo, and the exposure to extremes of heat or cold, of storms and all sorts of annoyances inseparable from long journeys.

Earnest, Mrs. Myer's Bisters, left this afternoon with the remains for Columbus, Ohio, where her people live. Mrs. Myers was a christian lady, a dear friend and a beloved neighbor. Such was the love and esteem with which she was held in the estimation of this community that a pall of sadness hangs to-day over the entire city.

The husband has down and told the little girl to ask the man something. He caught the question before the girl could sjieak, and answered, directing his remarks to bers "Crazy I No. You pity crasy people, don't youl Well, you never hoard anybody pity me.
