and this all done by the authorities
from whom our own city officials might
take a lesson. Local option is here il
full force and the law is rigidly enforc

most driven from the town.
Patience is the key of content.
To know how to wait is a secret OF

Salt Lake City.-The streets are al
beautifully shaded with trees, chiefyyel-
low and honey locust, mulberry, hack
berry and two kinds of cottonwood. The
gardens are well filled with flowers
roses, portulacs, marigolds and VERDE
mas being most popular. Whenever
circumstances will permit, nice piece
of well-kept lawn gives an additional
charm to the fower-garden. There is
a piece attached to the garden of the
museum which is perhaps the finest
piece of grass-laWn in the United States.
The water is carried in a small wooden
trunk along the highest point and runs
down through the grass-peat in lines
about twenty inches apart, through
small holes. Another magnificent piece
of laWn-grass is in front Of the palatial
residence of Mr.. VIM. Jennings, but
this is kept green by being watered reg
ularly by hose.
If the world is round how on earth
can it come to an end?
Justice consists in doing no injury;
decency in giving on offence.
Bacchus has drowned more men than
Neptune.
Max AdeIer, in the Ereniag Post,
says:
We are thinking about writing a new
and original dictionary. All the old
dictionaries are too much alike. They
have the same tiresome repetitions Of
familiar words and the same stale def
nitionS. 1t has become mouotonous.
We propose to get up Il dictionary
which shall have a complete new set of
words, none of which ever appeared be-
fore it work of this kind. The def
nitions also will be fresh: and in order
to secure an absolutely correct pronun-
citation a man will be sent to live in the
house OF every purchaser for a couple of
years to teach the accent and emphasis.
and to borrow all the money he can for
the author of the work. 1t is thought
the dictionary will make a sensation.
particularly as it is 50 arranged that
when it is not wanted by the student it
can be turned by spring into a water
cooler, which will not only keep the
verbs and pronoms from decaying in
hot weather but will satisfy want felt
III every family.
Expect nothing from him who promi-
seS a great deal.
Draw not thy bow before thine arrow
be fixed.
