THE building committee met last
Thursday, to examine and accept or re-
iect the new county asylum. Upon in
spect;on, the building was found to
meet the requirements Of the contract,
with the exception Of minor details.
The committee were in session Thurs
day and Friday, and the upshot of the
session was that a sum sufficient to COM
plete such parts as were unfinished
was deducted; and the contractors
were given the option of completing the
work in the spring, or the committee
would get some one else and pay them
for the work. the sum agreed upon.
The building is. as stated in the HERALD
last week, not yet ready for occupancy,
being not thoroughly dried out. The
furnaces are kept running all the time.
and il is expected that in ten days or 3
fortnight it will be fit for use. Col.
Clark, in response to a question as to
when the insane were to be moved from
Madison into tie new building, said he
should endeavor to go TO Madison this
week, to arrange for the transfer. In
the meantime Superintendent Showal-
Ter will get his preparations in such a
state of forwardness as to be ready for
them at such time as the committee and
State authorities may agree upon for
removal.

RESTRAINING POLYGAMY.

The suggestions made by Governor
Crosby of Minnesota, to the effect
that Mormon polygamists should not
only be DISTINGUISHED, but be debar-
red from entering homesteads, or
emption claims upon public lands
strikes many as the first practical
suggestion likely to solve the prob
lem.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
The choicest lands in Utah, Arizona
and Idaho have already been entered
by the Mormon Church, and it has
begun to spread itself into Montana.
Wyoming and New Mexico. In all
of these Territosies the public lands
are worthless except where they can
be irrigated or used for pasturage,
and then only to those who have con
troll of the water. The Church has
had its agents making careful sur
vey of the country lying between the
British boundary of Idaho and the
Mexican border, and they have Sc
lected all of the favorable locations
for farms and cattle ranches. After
speaking Of the Church authorities
in placing their enigrants on the
public lands, the article concludes:
The way to stop this is to debar
fron the privileges of the pre-emp-
ton and homestead Acts men who
believe in the supremacy of the
Mormon Church over the United
States Government. AS i. is now the
laws simply permit the Mormon
hierarchy to strengthen itself, They
afford the means of augmenting pow
er and giving lands of the United
States to Its enemies.
The Daily News of the same place
speaking on the same subject com
ments as follows: II goes without
saying that under the present namby-
PANTY policy of the Government in
dealing with polygamy, the evil has
increased and grown stronger with
each futile effort to restrain it. 1t
has, from handful Of people, driven
q few years ago by a few determined
men from Nauvoo in this State, be.
come menace to the Government
itself, simply from the temporizing
policy that has been adopted in deal
ing with it. Governor Crosby's
suggestion is good one, for there is
no reason why the Government
should furnish lands for homes to its
most malignant enemies.

LANDING THE CHINESE.

The Custom House at San Francis
co appears to have surrendered to the
Chinese affidavit makers. The crowds
on the Peking are thinning out under
the new dispensation, which places
an act of Congress at the feet
of a Chinese oath. The District
Court opened the door wide enough
TO let them in one by one, but the
Collector has since acted as il he
thought that if all must come In they
might as well come in crowd and
have done with it. Probably the re
cords of this country furnish no
parallel for the violations to which
the Chinese restriction law has been
subjected. The work commenced
in the Cabinet and has been continu.
ed in the courts, until under present
rulings the law only puts our officials
70 some trouble and the Chinese six
companies to some expense. We
look to Congress for relief.-Tlmes-

Using Arsenic for the Complexion.

1t is necessary to raise warning cry
against a most mischievous statement
which has recently been circulated, and
has already done harm, to the effect that
''arsenic in small doses is good for the
complexion. 1t is not difficult to inn
agine the risks women will incur to
preserve or improve their "good looks. J"
No more ingenious device for recon-
mending drug can be hit upon than
that which the authors of this most
baneful prescription of "arsenic for the
complexion" have adopted. Suffice it
to recall the fact that for many years
past chemists and sanitarians have been
laboring TO discover means of eliminat-
ing the arsenical salts from the coloring
matter of wall papers and certain dyes
once largely used for certain articles of
clothing.
1t is most unfortunate that this hope
lessly antagonistic recommendation of
arsenic to improve the complexion
should have found its way into print.
Those who employ the drug as advised
and there are many either using it or
contemplating the rash act-will do so
at their peril. So far as they are able,
however, it will be the duty of medical
men to warn the public against this
pernicious practice, which is only too
likely to be carried on secretly. 1t is
not without reason that we speak thus
pointedly and urge practitioners to be
on the qui vivc in anomalous or obscure
cases.

CAUSE FOR APPREHENSION.
Why Mysterious Physical Troubles
Arouse Special Dread---A Profess
sSOunI Experieucc.

Few things give more pain than dread
or apprehension. Most people are able
to face danger heroically, but the sud-
den and unexpected coming of some in
definite calamity very naturally strikes
terror to even the bravest. For this
reason Lightning and tornadoes are con-
sidered terrible; their coming and going
are SO sudden, unannounced and un-
known. For this same reason an I'M
known disease, some poison in the
blood, some malady that is gradually
undermining the life, Is specially dread
ed by all thinking people. And, in
deed, there are good reasons for such
dread, for modern science has dis
covered that some virulent disorders
show the least signs in their beginnings,
while they have the worst possible
symptoms. We know of many persons
who have dull and uncertain pains in
various portions OF the body; who are
unnaturally tired one day and apparent
ly well the next; who have an enormous
appetite at times and loathing of food
soon thereafter. Such persons are real
ly in dangerous condition even though
they may not realize it. The following
statement of most prominent physi-
clan. who has had unusual opportunities
for investigation is of SO striking and
important nature that it will be read
with interest by all; ASSOCIATED

Evolution In Hair Pins.
n. Y. Sun.

n. L. Sun.
The hair pin of to-day is no more like
its ancestor than is the enlightened man
of science like the primeval monkey.
Hair pins have "evoluted' out of the
old-fashioned straight wire into various
shapes, sizes and designs. Most of
them are enameled. They are of vary
ing length, from the gossamer forks
with corrugated limbs used to hold in
place puffs and curls to the long pins
required to keep on the big hats whose
broad brims present great temptations
to the wind. They are made by ma
chinery, and are so cheap that the poor
est women may enjoy the greatest vari-
ETY.. What becomes of the hair pins?
They drop on the floors; they get swept
up and lost; they become bent and use
less, they disappear and are replaced,
and great factories are employed in
making them. In recent divorce case
in New York the wife put in her COM
plant an allegation that she found a
strange hair pin on her husbands pill
low

The silk.worm disease nlaved such

The silk-worm disease played such
havoc year by year that the peasants
abandoned the cultivation. The place
of silk in the export trade Is therefore
being rapidly assumed by opium, the
cultivation of which has made enor-
nous strides within the past ten years.
Ispahan is the province where this drug
is chiefly made, but Shiraz and Herman
shah also grow the poppy. Within the
past ten years the cultivation of the
poppy has also increased tenfold in the
prairies of Khorassan. Prices have in
consequence fallen. and it is possible
that losses reported to have been sus-
tanned by the exporters may check the
trade. The entire crop of last year was
estimated at $500 chests, of which 5000
came from Ispahan. The local con-
sumption is very small, so that, deduct
ing 400 chests sent to London, the bulk
of the crop goes to the China market.

English Smartness.

English papers like to talk about
Yankee cuteness, but the following
from the London Echo goes to show that
John Bull can occasionally be as
"smart'' as his cousins across the water:
L"Mr. Thomas Eagles, the honorary
secretary of the Battersea Liberal Club
and Association, one day last week re-
ceived a postcard on which was written
as follows: "Have you seen the libel
on you and your association in y book
on "Speeches and Speeck-making, y
published by, etcP The book, price Is,
not worth Cd, was very naturally sent
for. but not one word did it contain,
libellous or otherwise, about either the

A curious instance of the formidable
power of molecular forces is related by
the Gazette Mdritimeet Commercials. The
Italian ship Francesca, loaded with rice,
had put in at East London leaking bad
ly. A squad of workmen was put on
hoard to pump the vessel out and I'M
load it; but in spite of all their diligence
the rice absorbed the water faster than
they could discharge it, and swelled I'M

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Nothing great was ever achieved with
out enthusiasm.
We should look ut the lives of all as
at q mirror, and take from others an ex-
ample for ourselves. Terence.
Imitation causes us to leave natural
ways to enter into artificial ones; II
therefore makes slaves. DIR. Vinet.
Flattery is often traffic of mutual
meanness, where although both parties
intend deception. neither are deceived.
Cotton.
A more glorious victory cannot be
gained over another man than this, that
when the injury began on his part the
kindness should begin on ours.-Tillot-
son.
A man should never be ashamed to
own he has been in the wrong, which is
but saying in other words that he is
wiser to-day than he was yesterday
Pope.
Feelings come and 90 like troops fol-
lowing the victory of the present; but
principles, like troops of the line, are
undisturbed and stand fast.-Richter.
Neither borrower, nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend;
And borrowing duls the edge of husbandry.
Shakespeare.
Though soldier, in time of peace, is
like chimney in summer, yet what
wise man would pluck down his CHM
ney because his almanac tells him It's
the middle of June; Tom Brown.
After all, territory is but the body of
nation. The people who inhabit its
hills and valleys are its soul, its spirit,
its life. In them dwell its hope of i'm
mortality. Among them, if anywhere,
are to be found its chief elements of

Life, believe, is not dream
So dark as sages say;

Foretells pleasant day.
Charlotte Bronte
o, blessed health! thou art above all
gold and treasures; it's thou who en-
larges the soul, and openest all its pow
ers to receive instruction, and to relish
virtue. He that has thee, has little
more to wish for! and he that is so
wretched as TO want thee, wants every
thing with thee.--Sterne
The most trifiling actions that effect
a mans credit are to be regarded. The
sound of your hammer at five in the
morning or nine at night, heard by a
creditor, makes him easy six months
longer; but, if he sees you at a billiard
table, or hears your voice at a tavern,
when you should be at work, he sends
for his money the next day.-Franklin.
Mans character is an element of his
wealth, and you cannot make him rich
in what he has, except as you teach him
to be rich i'm what he is.

Revolution In Persian Agriculture.

Although there are almost no
statistics of the trade of Persia to be
had, Mr.. Dickson has contrived. to get
together some very interesting informa-
ton, which is published in the last NUM-
Der of the Legation reports on trade. A
certain revolution appears to have been
going on in the agriculture Of Persia,
which has resulted in great reduction
In the production of silk and an increase
in that of rice and opium. Silk was
once the staple produce of Persia, and
in its fourishing days as much as 10000
bales of weight Of 100000 pounds,
worth f700, 900, would have been ex-
ported, but not more than fourth OF
that quantity Is produced now.
