WHY THE MEN DON'T PROPOSE.
Br Helen OUtlelJ.
Tliwo Is no denying ttio fact that imn. oven
more than women, are less Inclined to marriage
than formerly, Prudence enters mow nnd more
luto iuntrlmonl.il calculations. Young people
wish to begin whew their fathers and mother
left off. and when It Is out of tho question that
they should do so, hesitate to begin nt nil. Tho
laboring classes may be ready nnd willing to wed
as soou as the man has accumulated tho 500 for

forgetting, by the world forgot."
"Certaluly, I want to get married." said a society belle.
"I atn 27, which I think Is old enough for a young matron;
and a married woman has so many more privileges than n
gtrl. I would like to help and to share in my husband's suc
cesses; besides, I positively adore children. lint It is so
difficult to And the right sort of man to marry. In the
first place, ho must have at least $5,000 a year. If I were
really In love. I would bo willing to risk marrying on that,
but on less, never! And so fow marriageable men have
even so much. I wonder why It Is that all the nlco men are
.poor! Where did you meet your husband?"
fEvcn though a man be possessed of what old fashioned
folk were ,wont to count a fair competence, he Is apt to
tfllnk many times before he asks a woman who has been
brouirht ui In luxury to share It with blni; to live, perhaps.
in a tint arid manage with one maid of all work. Usually
he does not ask. and by the time his fortune Is made, he Is
wedded to club life and bachelorhood, and has lost all
Inclination' for matrimony.
.Sometimes Edwin forgets himself, and Angelina finds
that she shares his passion. Then comes the struggle be
tween lovn and worldly wisdom. Fcrhaps they turn their
backs upon the leeks nnd fieshpots of society, and go out
Into the wilderness of poverty. Then comes the test of
character, as well as of affection, nnd, while some fall by
thy wayside, there be others who attain the" promised land,
which Is far better than that which they left, and lire (to
enjoy the results of their courage, meanwhile proving that a
dinner of herbs, and love therewith, Is better than roast
meats flavored with discontentment.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY AND ITS DEVELOPMENT.
By Dr. renllatnS Braaa, Vnlrtrttr ot Strfbarg.
Wireless telegraphy is most easily understood
by following Its historical development. Mar
coni's first attempts in 1890-07, resulting In the
sending of message seven miles. Involved no ab
solutely new principle, but were only a practical
application of Hertz's discoveries, made several
years before. Hertz first produced rapid electri
cal oscillations, and showed that they traveled
through space with the speed of tight, according
to Maxwell's theory, nnd reappeared as electrical oscilla
tions and sparks In suitably arranged conductors nt a dis
tance, lie also proved that the electrical ether waves, like
light waves, could be reflected and focused by concave
metal mirrors. Starting with waves twenty feet long (In
air) and oscillating fifty million times a second, bo worked
down to waves one-tenth us long and ten times as rapid.
Next Professor Itlghl, of Bologna, by means of his "oscilla
tor," produced wives so short that be could repeat Hertz's
experiments on a lecture table. The oscillator consists of
two metal balls placed between the terminals of an Induc
tion coll. When the coll Is worked sparks pass between
the balls and an electrical oscillation is set up within them
Which produces ether waves whoso length is nearly propor
tional to the size of the balls.
Of the present state of wireless telegraphy, omitting
attempts to bridge the ocean, It may be said that It Is pos
sible by comparatively simple mean to send tneages more
than a hundred utiles, nnd that coimmiulcnllou Is easier
over water than over laud.
Itecently wireless messages ,havo been sent to and from
moving trains ou the lierllu-liusseii military road, It Is not
probable that perfect secrecy ever will he attained. Tho
message Is, so to speak, trumpeted out to the world, and all
who have enrs mny hear It. Aud these ears -tho receiver
If not already In tune may be attuned without much dim
culty. Indeed, by the uso of a sensitive microphone con
tact, any message may bo read without tuning. The waves i
may pcrhnps bo confined to definite direction by mirrors
and lenses, but It will bo long before they can thus Ihi
kept together as well as the bonni of a flashlight, and even
that scatters widely. Dr. Zenncck has proved that a sec.
ond vertical wire as long as the rending wire, erected near
It and connected to earth, Intercepts the waves and hence
prevents them from reaching distant stations In that direc
tion, and 1 have found that two receiving wires receive
signals only when their plane nearly coincide with the
direction of the Incoming wares. In .this way tho bearing
of the sending station can b determined to within ten
degrees -a result of special Importance for nautical and
military purposes.
An International congress for the regulation and unifi
cation of wireless telegraphy Is soon to Ihi held. Among
tho subjects which should be considered. In my opinion,
are the compulsory exchange and forwarding of messages
by stations and ships having apparatus, the feasibility of
regulating tho wave lengths used, and the prohibition of
powerful stations covering great distances spanned by
ordinary telegraph, except where they do not Interfere with pmilfc
the proper and peculiar use of wireless telegraphy In Its "
legitimate field. I

EXTENSION Or THE INDETERMINATE SENTENCE.
Br J. rrintlt rort, Juttlc at Snrremm Court tt flew Jrter
Up to this time, so fnr as I know, no State
has applied the indeterminate sentence to persons
confined In all of Its penal Institutions, (liven
I the right conditions and an Impartial, non-partisan
tribunal to control discharges, I would favor
Its application to all offenders. I would go still a
step farther. I would have neither tho minimum
nor the maximum term fixed by statute, ami,
possibly, not by the sentencing court. The proper
way to cure thoss who are really criminal I ns you cure
other diseased persons namely: keep them under treatment
until they are cured, or so nearly that they may lie dis
charged. The state has as much right to protect Itself from the
criminal as from the dangerous Insane. A confirmed crim
inal should not be permitted to perpetuate his species, to
contaminate his fellows, or to go abroad wlillo his mora!
nature,' Irresistibly or pervcrtcdly. leads to depreciations
upon society. Such a one should be confined until cured,
or apparently cured, and then only discharged, under
parole, with power to retake him upon p relapso Into crime.
A board of managers of a penal Institution Is not al
ways tho safest boly with which to leave the liberty of tho
prisoner. I would require all applications for release, Imv
fore expiration of term, to come through them, but If they
refused to permit an application fur parole after a reason
able term of service that the court might consider It, !
would give the prisoner the right of revluw and of n henr
lug before the discharge court. This court could lo com.
posed of a Judge, designated by the (lovernor, and of the
several wardens of the penal institutions of tho State or n
majority of them. The Judgo should bo president of the
court, and no prisoner, once discharged, should be re
manded, except upon the order of the president of the dis
charge court, mado upon verified facts duly presented, and
filed ns a matter of public record.

GOOD BLOOD

SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
You know when rich, red blood Is courninp; through
the veins, for it ohows in the briflitnn of the eye, the
beauty and clcarnesn of the complexion, the smooth, fair
akin, and robust, healthy constitution. It is good blood
that imparts strength and cncrjry to the body and kcena it in a state ot
healthfulncfls and vigor, Good blood is the foundation of good health, and
to be physically and mentally sound it must he kept pure aud untainted.
l'copie wuu good uiooa possess strong,
steady nerves and arc blest with good
appetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep, If wo could
always maintain tho purity of the
blood then we tnfght enjoy perpetual
health, but it becomes infected and
poisoned and most of the ills that afflict
humanity nnd undermine tho constitu
tion are caused by an impoverished
or polluted condition of this vital fluid.
When the blood is diseased the skin
loses its healthy appearance, and tho
complexion, its freshness and beauty
and becomes red and rough and full of
pimples and splotches. Itching, scaly
eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes
break out upon the body when the
blood is too poor or too thin and acid,
and is not supplying proper nourish
ment to the svstcm. Debility, poor
appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep
and nervousness more often come from
nliifrfish. imnure blood than nnv other
cause. To build up the blood, restore its lost properties and make it rich
nnd nutritious again is tho only rational treatment, and tho proper way to
get rid of skin troubles. There is no remedy like S. S. S. to accomplish this
ana it uoca i. promptly unu iiiorouguiy,
8. S. S, antidotes and removes from tho
blood all poisons and humors, and restores
it to a normal, healthy condition, and in
vigorates and tones up the general health.
When rich, red blood 1b again flowing
through your veins nil skin eruptions
disappear, the appetite improves, the complexion clears and you get rid of
those miserable depressing feelings and nervousness, and enjoy once more the
blessings of good health. 8. 8. 8. is nature's remedy for all blood and skin dis
