You are a mixture of the signs Aries, which Mars rules, and Taurus, which Venus rules, and therefore Mars and Venus are your ruling planets. You are medium height or above; medium to light complexion: the eyes have a peculiar sparkle and sharp ,sight and , are of a medium to light color. You are very active and energetic* and quite ambitious to push business; yet, if this time is correct, you have no constitution that will allow you to carry out your ambitions, and your worst ailments will be in some way connected with you. head. You have a great love for the beautiful in art and nature; you are possessed with a great ability to talk, write and work fine embroidery and paint; you have natural ability in some of the fine arts. However, only those that know you well will fully appreciate you, and the first half of life will be uphill work, the last half will be some better. Marriage is unfortunate for you. “Flax,” Smithboro, HL Data proclaim you a mixture of the signs Libra, which Venus rules, and Scopio, which Mars rules, and, therefore, Venus and Mars are your ruling planets. You are medium height; wellset figure; medium complexion; hazel eyes; hair was flaxen when young, but has been getting some darker as you have grown older. If you had been ' ' born a few minutes earlier there would be indications of a dimple in your chin. You are endowed with the indications ' of both the gentle, confiding, modest Venus; also the bold, aggressive, refractory, warlike Mars, and you will act In accordance with whichever one of these happens to be called forth. - You are fond of anything that relates to chemistry and mystery; also the beautiful in art, such as music, painting, drawing, sketching, etc. You need some special instructions or you will get rid of all the money you can make and have nothing left to show for it. Marriage fortunate. “Mrs. Helena,” Cairo. According to data, the sign Sagittarius, which Jupiter rules, was rising at your birth, and, therefore, Jupiter is your ruling planet or significator. You are medium height or above, with a well-set figure. The complexion very clear and healthy; the hair medium to light; eyes light; you are noted for being of a cheerful, happy disposition; you do not allow anything like the blues to come near you; you are also noted for being fully appreciated by all, and you can secure and hold a good position at any time you wish; you have had a very eventful life and have been a great traveler, and the last half of life has been the most fortunate; you can always command a good salary if you wish, and. will make and handle large sums of money during your life, yet will meet with many losses. You are a great lover of horses. You have ' great ambition for a large business. You have a remarkably strong constitution. Helen. Dubuque, lowa. You have the zodiacal sign Libra rising, and therefore Venus is your ruling planet. You are medium height or above; slender figure; medium to light complexion, hair and eyes. If born four minutes earlier you have Uranus also for ruling planet, and that would denote a little darker shade to the eyes. You are cheerful and happy most of the time, yet will be subject to short spells of the blues, and if anyone does you an injury you are not apt to forget it very soon; yet you will forgive them and be very just to if you had any dealings with them, for you are a lover of justice, and have also a great admiration for the fine arts. You will have very strong intuitions at times, yet this will only be spasmodic in its actions. Marriage will be more than average fortunate for you. FACTS ABOUT GAMES. 4 On the old-time cards used in India the vizier is repiesented as mounted on a horse, a camel or a tiger. It is said by some writers that the game of dominoes was known to the Jews in the time of Solomon. Dice of ivory and marble have been found in the ruins of Roman houses in various parts of Great Britain. Both Aeschylus and Sophocles, in their tragedies, allude to the game of dice as being common In their day. The Arabic cards are believed to have been originally associated with necromantic or fortune-telling practices.

INDIANA LEGISLATURE. January 7. The two branches of the Indiana legislature were organized at H o’clock Thursday morning by the election of the caucus nominees of the Republicans, Henry C. Pettit of Wabash being chosen speaker of the house by a vote of fifty-two to forty-seven for Allen Swope, the Democratic nominee, and the other officers being elected by the same vote, one Democratic member being absent. After the officers of the house were sworn in and a committee on rules appointed the body adjourned to meet Friday morning. As soon as the senate was organized by the election of a secretary, assistant secretary and doorkeeper, a resolution was offered to proceed to the election of a president pro tem. This was ruled out of order by LieiitenantGovernbr Nye, who declared that there was no provision in the constitution for such an officer. An appeal to the senate was taken from his ruling, and the chair was not sustained, the vote dividing on party lines. Committees were appointed to notify the governor that the two houses were organized, and he replied that he would communicate with them through his biennial message.' January 8. As soon as the upper house got back into its own chamber Senator Shively of Richmond introduced an anti-trust bill. It defines a trust as “a combination of capital, skill and acts by two or more persons, firms, corporations or associations of persons. (1) To restrict trade. (2) To limit or reduce the production or increase or reduce the price of merchandise or commodities. (3) To prevent" competition. (4) To control the price to the public of any article of merchandise. (5) To make or enter into any agreement by which they shall bind themselves not to sell any article of commerce below a common standard figure.” The bill provides that any company or corporation which joins a trust shall forfeit its right to do business in the state, and provides further that the officers of the company or corporation joining a trust may be fined SSOO. The attorneygeneral of the state is directed to prosecute all companies or corporations that become members of trusts, and as an incentive it is provided that he shall receive a fee of SSOO for every conviction. Prosecuting attorneys are also authorized to begin prosecutions. Gov. Matthews’ retiring message, arraigning the trusts created a storm of applause. Democrats, Republicans and Populists joined in the applause, which lasted for several minutes after the message had been read. The big press associations “edited” the message and only sent out certain portions of it. This coming so soon after the “horrible butchery” tof Gov. Pingree’s message has caused much indignation. The message in full is printed elsgwhere. DOWNED BY A GIRL. A Fair Amazon’s Yawn and Glgglo Spoiled the Oration. “I see,” said the old graduate with an expressive rubbing of his hands, relates the Detroit Free Press, “that some of our western colleges are arranging for a sort of battle royal to come off annually in the debating arena. I like that sort of thing. It teaches young men to reason quickly and accurately while they are on their feet in presence of an audience and to express their ideas intelligently as well as impressively. Great thing! I used to.be something of a debater myself.” “So you were,” laughed an old classmate present. “Guess I’ll have to tell them about the time we went over to Big Ford to clean out the district school debaters there.”

“Never mind, now," “Too good to keep. Old Tom, there, and I roomed together. We thought ourselves mighty strong on the debate for freshmen. When we heard they were going to discuss the good old question of capital punshiment at the Ford we thought it a golden opportunity to show our paces as well as gel needed practice. In order to annihilate the rural orators we prepared ourselvea on opposite sides of the question. It was a howling winter night, but we drove ten miles and whetted our wits all the way by wrangling over the subject for discussion. After we had warmed up at the big box stove the battle'ppened. When I had heard one or two of those young country fellows roar forth their arguments, nailing their points with gestures that would fell an ox, I revised my former proud estimate bf Tom and myself. The flowers of rhetoric were not scattered profusely but there was a wonderful amount of meat in what they had to say. I got through my effort all right.” "Oh. of course.” “But poor Tom! He had soared beautifully to the very zenith. He was making a peroration worthy of immortality. When he had both hands aloft and was dealing directly ’with the angel of mercy a'Tair amazon on the front seal yawned and then giggled; Tom stopped as though he had been paralyzed. He never started up again. The judges solemnly decided that Tom’s side had been knocked galley west, and on the way home he stopped on the top of the bleakest hill to swear me to secrecy."

THE TRADE REVIEW.! YEAR 1897 BEGINS WITH GOOD PROSPECTS. Unsound Business Concerns Have Been Swept Out of the Way —Feeling in the West Is that Trade Is Now on a Firmer Basis. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: "The year 1897 begins with one clear advantage— last year has swept out of the way a great number of unsound concerns which in any time of activity would have been dangerous to business. Os the 15,286 commercial and banking failures in 1896, with liabilities of $276,815,749, a large share represented crippling losses in previous years, or the violence of speculative storms in 1895 or the first half of 1896, while thousands more resulted from the fury of the political tornado last fall. Banking failures amounting to $50,718,915 during the year averaged $156,156 each, and were 145 per cent larger than in 1895. “The commercial failures amounted to $226,096,834, a little over $1,000,000 having been added by the last day of the year, but the average of liabilities, ; $14,992, was smaller than in some years of great prosperity. “The failures of brokerage and other commercial concerns averaged $58,418 each and increased 183 per cent over 1895: manufacturing failures averaged $28,808 each and increased 34 per cent; trading failures increased 18 per cent and averaged only $9,606 each. “Over four-fifths of the increase in manufacturing and trading failures was in: Lumber and manufacturing, which was 170 per cent; dry goods, 50; woolen manufacturing, 161; clothing trade, 20; shoe trade, 87; leather and shoe manufactures, 167; grocery trade, 33; machinery, 70; milling, 117; furniture, 90, and printing, 97 per cent. In ten ether branches the increase was moderate in amount, and in five, with the unclassified manufacturing and trading failures, the liabilities were smaller than in 1895. “While banking failures have not ceased In the west, apprehension about them has almost wholly subsided, and no serious influence upon general trade is now expected. Many sound concerns were doubtless caught by the epidemic, but practically all the important failures are traced to a disregard of law and of banking sense, “It is felt in the west that all business will be the sounder after its purging. The return of money to New York has exceeded shipments to the in- | terior by $2,000,000 to/ the week. “Wheat roee to 92 dents on Monday, but has declined again to 89.25 cents. The western receipts were 1,000,000Hiqin last while; the Atlantic exports, flour included, were 2,037,900 bushels, against 2,337,936 last year. The trade accounts indicate a great quantity in the farmers’ hands, enough to permit more than 100,000,000 bushels to be exported in the 1 remaining six months. “Cotton started up a shade, but the receipts from the plantations are still too large for low estimates, and the condition of the cotton mills foreshadows a curtailment rather than a large consumption. “The prices of wool are a shade lower. In woolen goods the only change is a reduction of 7% cents in Clay worsted and mixtures, and orders are not frequent. " "The orders for boots and shoes have almost ceased, except for a few qualities, which have been advanced only 2% to 5 cents in price, but pobbers are buying a little more as stocks run low. Leather is stiff and hides a shade stronger.

“The aggregate of the gross earnings of all the railroads In the United States reported for December, or a part of the month, is $36,437,085, a decrease of 2.4 per cent, compared wilh last year, and 8.9 per cent compared with the corresponding time In 1892. Compared with 1892, the roads reporting for the month chow reduced earnings, the greatest loss being on grangers and other western roads. As a whole, the return so far made for December compares much more favorably with preceding years that the first complete report for November." HONOR JACKSON’S MEMORY. Illinois Silver Democrats Attend a Banquet. Silver democrats gathered at the Tremont house, Chicago. Thursday evening from many far places for a midnight mass in honor of Andrew Jackson. The banquet was attended by every prominent silver democrat in the state. Mr. Bryan’s toast was “Andrew Jackson.” Gov.

A HAPPY WIFE. SHE RELATES TO A REPORTER THE SECRET OF HER JOY. For Many Months She Was Sad and Worried Because of Illness — She Gives Thanks for the Discovery to Which She Attributes Her Present Good Health. (From the Chronicle, Chicago, Ill.) Eleven years ago there came to Chicago from Toledo. Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Sanders. They had been hard wording and industrious people but had met with serious trouble. Mr. Sanders wasabiacksmith.but was obliged to give up his work at the forge owing to the loss of an eye, from a spark from the anvil. Mrs. Sanders, like many another woman became broken down in health by hard work. She was a seamstress, and careless of her health, sewed early and late. The confinement and the stooping incident to such work broke down her liealth.and it was thought she was going into quick consumption. Instead, she developed a violent case of typhoid fever, to which, by the way. any one is liable whose system is run down and whose vitality is depleted. This confined her not only to the house but to her bed as well. When she finally rallied, it was to find herself so weak and debilitated that for six long months she was barely able to crawl about, and her physicians could not restore her strength. She was reduced to a skeleton, could not eat, could do no work, and as she expressed it, she could not have endured this much onger. This description of the after effects of typhoid will be recognized as faithfully true by any who have had the disease; and it is these after effects to which a physician must give faithful attention, liis patient is not out of danger until the strength and appetite return. Mrs. Sanders, however, bccameconvinced that her physicians were not helping her to mend, and sought other means. She came to the conclusion that a preparation which would enrich the blood, would build up her health. She accordingly made use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, now extensively used us a blood purifier. The effects were satisfactory. They-were more than that, they were wonderful. She began to mend almpst at once; Iler pains decreased, her strength and weight and appetilie came back, and she became robust. To Anyone suffering from the effects of over-work or worry, or from a debilitated state of the system from whatever cause, this article will be of interest, and these pills a welcome remedy. Mr. and Mrs. Sanders live at 1155 Lincoln Ave , Chicago, and to prove the accuracy of the statement and her honesty of purpose she swore to the facts as below: (Signed) "Mrs. S. J. Sanders.” Sworn to and subscribed before me this fifth day of October, 1896. A. F. Portman, Notary Public.
