Good and Bad Breakfasts.

To eat Scotch breakfast, for ex-
ample, one requires to have passed some
time in mountainous air and active ex-
ercise. Given these conditions, the por-
ridge, the Finnan haddocks, the ONE
lettes, the ham, the trout, the cold grouse,
the marmalade, the hot scones," the
strawberries and cream, the tea and
coffee, and the rest, are all that frugal
taste can desire. But Mr.. Hart thinks
that tea is not the right beverage at
breakfast. 1t is stimulant to the
nerves, and the nerves should not be
stimulated SO early in the day. To be
sure, pipe afterwards should make
that all right, but people who do not
smoke, il they be truly wise, should
avoid tea at breakfast. The French
take wine, and good deal of it, but
how Frenchmen can breakfast as they
do and achieve any sort OF work after
ward is great mystery. They begin
the day with roll and some coffee (also,
+" nerve-stimulant," we fear) and get
through much business before noon.
But how they can attempt business for
three hours after their exorbitant second
breakfasts no Englishman can hope tC
learn. Breakfast should be digestible,
warm, abundant, unexciting, nourish'
ing" Eggs, bacon and toast, day after
day, for all one's life, are abundant, and
may be nourishing, but are only too GER
tainly unexciting."
Mr.. Hart suggests porridge as goot
for breakfast, and so it is if the othel
items of a Scotch breakfast are to follow
BY itself it is not very filling at tn,
price. Here hominy has slight ad
vantage over the northern dish, bu
hominy is less exciting. Like the buck
wheat cakes of distinguished artist, j
"gets a little monotonous." Hominy
eaten with milk and sugar, but it is still
better with salt and pepper, or an,
thing that will give it character. i
breakfast we are all too much the slave
Of routine.

Mormon Land Monopoly.

The Terfitnts bf Utah is divided into |
two nearly equal parts by the Wasatch I
Mountains. On the east of these noun
tains lies the Uintah Indian reservation
larger than Connecticut and Rhode |
Island, and the territory is bounded al
most entirely on the east by the Ute
reservation in the State Of Colorado,
Becatise Of the location of these reser
vstions, agricultural settlements cannot
be expected 10 exist in Utah east Of the
Wasatch range for many years, for far
mers settled there would live in constant
fear of Indian iucursions. The farming
settlements Of Utah are, therefore, con
fined to the foothills and valleys on the
west aide OF the mountains, where the
land is irrigated, without the use Of
capital, by the mountain streams, which
are fed by the SHOWS which lie on the
heights. Not more than one-fftieth of
the land In Utah can now be irrigated
In this way for lack Of natural streams,
and water cannot be supplied for the
remainder until the sinking of artesian
wells for lhis purpose has proved sue
cessful and much money has been ex-
pended in building long irrigating
canals. But experience shows that the
now barran lands Of Utah will become
wonderfully productive wherever water
can be brought to them.
Wherever the land could be irrigated
by natural streams, and could, there
fore, be used for agricultural purposes,
the thrifty Mormonsingeniously secured
II against appropriation by any persons
except those Of their own faith. Little
colonies of from 200 to 500 persons were
systematically arranged along the west
ern side Of the Wasatch Mountains, and
these colonies were incorporated as cities
by the Territorial Legislature of Utah.
When Congress threw open the public
lands to settlement under the Pre-
emption law, in 1841, and the Homestead
law, in 1862, it was provided that any
lands within the limits of an incorpora-
ted town, or selected on the site of a city
or town, could not be taken by farmers.
In order to control the farming lands in
Utah, the Mormons blanketed with a
series of incorporated cities almost the
entire area which could be irrigated by
natural means and without great ex-
pense. In many cases the land of one
corporation joins the land Of the corpo-
ration next to it, so that traveller can
20 a great distance in Utah without
passing beyond the limits of some incor-
porsted city, although he is frequently
miles from house or habitation. IN
this way the Mormons practically shut
out from the Territory all who are
opposed to them. When a Mormon de-
sfres to acquire the United States title
| e Ia La 4e
of one of these corporations, no one
objects, but il Gentle attempts to get
title the Mayor Of the city files in the
United States Land Office at Salt Lake
City an affidavit that the undesirable
settler is within the limits Of an incor.
porated city, and is, therefore, seeking
to secure title in violation Of the laws
Of Congress.

Credit Versus Cash.

capital would become the instrument Of

absolute cash system become the fact,

capital. Men who threaten public credit
By their unfaithfulnsss are public ene-

Two systems Of slavery.

san fInhcheo Aalisl
The war against Chinese immigration
has commenced, and, like the war
against slavery, is not likely to cease
until the evil complained Of is abolished.
A Supreme Court of the United States
once gave a Dred Scott decision, but
that decision only intensified the feeling
against the institution which demanded
such decisions from our Courts. The
Supreme Court may declare the Cali
fornia laws in conflict with the Burlin-
game Treaty, but such decision would
have only a temporary effect. The
modification or abrogation of the Burlin-
game Treaty will be demanded, and
with the treaty the objections to the
new law will fall to the ground. Cali
fornia has reached turning point in
her history. The State, with una
nimity rarely displayed in a State
Legislature, has declared against the
employment of Chinese by corporations
under State control. It is as broad
declaration as can be made against that
class of labor. The act was placed IN
the statute book with the aid and CO.
operation Of all parties. 1t is an express
sion of the will of the people. The
question for large employers of labor 70
decide is, if they will accept the situs-
tion as final, or continue the contest.

Small Change in the West.


In truth, a person who waits for
change in the shape Of two, three or
four cents is looked upon with something
like scorn in the West. Is your bill
seventy-eight cents? You pay eighty,
or the obliging shopkeeper says: "Call
it seventy-fve."
| recalled an incident which one of
the merchants of Salina related when
speaking of his recent trip TO New York
for goods. After making his prepara-
tions for returning he went to settle his
bill, which proved to be $40.03. He
paid $40, and was turning away when
he was recalled by tsp on his shoulder,
and the three cents were pointed ont.
In scornful amazement he threw down
ten cents, and again started away.
Here is your change, sir" said q
voice, in no wise overwhelmed by his
contempt.
The merchant waved his hand and
bowed.

Closing Exercises OF tho Spring Session.
NEAR RoyEY's Polsr, ONO Co., W. Vas
May l, 1880.
Editors Intellisenesr.
The first term Of the year of the Glen
dale school closed Thnrsday with appro-
priate exercises. The little folks recited
very creditably in several classes during
the early part Of the day, and Just before
the forenoon recess Miss Mary Orr recited
a selection entitled, "The School" After
recess the Fourth Reader class read 1.-THE
story OF Joseph" in manner which
proved that their time had not been un'
improved in that most useful OF the
branches OF o general education.
At the noon hour an excellent and
bounteous dinner was served by COM
mittee appointed for the purpose, consist
| ing OF Misses Mary Gray, 0phelia Patton,
and Emma Frazier, and Messrs. w. U.
Henderson, o. O. Orr and I. j. Orr.
The afternoon exercises included the
reading OF an essay entitled "The River Of
Life" by Miss Eva Orr, and defamation
by Frank Orr, "The Fathers OF the Repub.
lie" The class in the Fifth Reader also
gave interesting performances, one Of
them being q unique and funny reading,
'Lord Ullin's Daughter" read by all the
members OF the class at one time, but not
by any means in unison. 1t brought
down the house. ,,,r,
Next followed defamation by Willie
Scatterday; q dialogue by three little girls
Cordie and Dora Orr and Lottie McOutch,
en-, entitled THE Bee, Clock and Broom.
and defamation, 1.-THE Rum Fiend'i
Portrait" by Eddie Supler. This young
gentleman's fine presence and excellent
voice proved him to be an eloquent speak
er. All these performances were applaud
ed bv the audience. There was also
Reclamation by Nettie Orr; subject, "Tht
Bible"
Last, but not least, was the yaledictory
address by Miss Ollie Supler, which was 3
finished production. 1t was read with
deep earnestness and sincerity, and deep
Nv impressed both pupils and teacher.
Remarks was called for from the audi
! ence, and MIR. I. J. Orr spoke OF thu
schools progress, and was ably followed
by James Orr and William Clark.
The teacher then made farewell ad
dress to the scholars, which was very in
teresting. ar. Rowles has won the re
spect and goodwill Of all his scholars anc
their parents; not one complaint has beer
made, and this is certainly. strange. w
cannot give him too much honor for the
way the school has progressed. He vii
