Dangers to Health.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The months OF February, March
and April are, in sons respects. more
dangerous to health than Others OF
the year, for the constitutions of even
healthy people are somewhat en-
feebled by the lessenedamount OF out
door exercise during the period of Sc
we're cold, anddebility means increased
liability to disease. Proper care Of
health is, therefore, more important
at this than at other seasons, for a
cold is easily contracted in the spring,
and a cold may be the precursor Of
any one of q dozen diseases. Ex-
posures that at other seasons would
be harmless, in the spring sometimes
prove fatal, and it accordingly be-
hooves everybody when the SHOWS are
disappearing and the rains begin, to
look after his health. The Chinese
reverse our medical customs, and,
with sound good sense, pay their doc
tors for keeping them we'll, the salary
OF the medical man stopping the day
his patron goes to bed and beginning
again only Mhen the sick man IS able
to attend to business. 1t were well il
we, who make it theinterest ofthedoc-
tors to keep us in bed, should general
iy adopt some such custom as that of
the Chinese, and take more pains to
keep well than to get well when pros
trated by illness. Much dOctoring is
to be deplored, but an occasional
overhauling Of the system by a physi-
clan is advisable, no matter how ex-
cellent the health. and there is no
time when this can be done to better
advantage than In the Spring.

Amazing Extravaganza.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The extravagance of rich Americans
is incredible. Cleopatra dissolving q
pearl in her morning draught, and Lu-
cullus dining on the brains ofpeacocks
and tongues Of nightingales are faint
suggestions OF the luxury Of American
millionaires.
About twenty years ago Mr.. Morgan,
a wealthy railroad contractor, mar
ried a school teacher. In 1876 he died,
leaving her five million dollars in her
own right. A few months ago she died
and the coming sale of her diamonds,
bric-a-brac and paintings, mas put Cos.
sips on her tracks. The disclosures
are astounding.
She spent 800, 900 for her collec-
ton of orchids, flowers that bid fair
to revive the tulip mania 81 Holland.
Her conservatory of these ugly but
fashionable plants brought only So,
600; so that it cost her $4,000 net
and interest to own them a few months.
She has one vase for which she paid
$4,000. 1t is less than a foot high
and is known as the "peach blow
vase. IL was made in 1924 in China
and the delicate beauty of its tint has
never been reproduced and perhaps
never will be. She paid $50, 900 for 4
single picture, ST., 1895, 900 for her col
lection of240paintings. The Tiffanys
made her q solid silver candelebra at
q cost OF $4,000, and her bathroom:
cost $50, GOO. She had over 5000
plates, one set OF which, made at Sew
eres, cost $4,000 a dozen. One single
diamond in hercollection ofjewels cost
$4,000.
These figures are staggering. Moth
ing IA the most profiigate at Rome,
nothing in Venice, in Paris, or in Lon
don surpasses them. Not even the
imagination OF Dumas In depicting
Monte Christie, or OF Gautier in de.
scribing n of Cleopatra's nights can
outstrip the actual accomplishments
of this New England school mistress.
A swift and amazing evolution is this
lavish spendthrift from Puritan am
cestors, who forbid the wearing OF
gold brooches, and considered cherry
colored ribbon an abomination in the
sight of the Lord. Where will this
evolution end?

The practice OF breeding from very
young animals is common with some
breeders and a word Of caution from
an excellent authority is worth repro
ducing.
Buyers should see to it, that they
do not buy from herds where it has
been the practice to breed from very
young sows and boars. Haste in get
ting progeny from pigs for which good
prices have been paid is highly cens
surable. Al herd managed on this
plan for a few years will dwindle, not
only losing size, but becoming effemin-
ate also. The strongest and most
profitable stock is found in those
herds where full.grown SONS and
bears are kept as breeders"

Strange and Romantic History

New York World.
On June 23, 1S49, Capt. Poulett,
nephew and heir presumptive of the
earl OF Poulett. fell in love with Eliza
beth Newman OF Portsea, England, q
young girl OF stainless reputation and
respectable, though NOT aristocratic
parentage, the attachment eventually
resulting in their marriage. Naturally
young Poulett's proud relatives did
not look with %favorupon this mingling
of the blue blood of the ancient Pou-
let's with the comparatively plebeian
blood OF the Newmans, and he was
given the cold shoulder by all. But
thecaptain was stubbornly Indifferent,
happy in the possession of a good and
beautiful wife. Eventually a son was
born to the happy couple and was
christened William Tournon Thomas
Poulett. But it was written that a
change should come over the young
wife's dream ofhappiness, and, astime
IRE on, Viscount Hinton's affection
for his pretty helpmate began to cool
and, pleading his uncle's displeasure
and their future prospects at stake,
he eventually begged her to agree to a
separation, and after many painful
scenes, tears and entreaties, during
which Elizabeth's gentle heart was
gradually breaking, the separation
was agreed upon and the discarded
countess retired to pine downward to
the grave, receiving asmall annuityt to
support her. Before her death Wis
count Hinton, who had succeeded his
uncle to the titles and estates June
20, 1864, was entreated by his broken
hearted wife to take their child and
allow him to hold the rank which was
his by all sacred and legal rights; but
the earl of Poulett was not the Capt.
Poulett" who had loved her well
enough to brave the scorn of the world
OF society In which he moved. Thus
her appeals were treated with lofty
neglect. The son did not inherit the
meek spirit of his mother. He became
wild and restless, spent his money in
f~rivolity and finally became o. clown
at the Surrey theatre. 1t is now ru-
mored that other claimants to the
title of Viscount Hinton have appear
ed upon tie scene todispute Incident.
ity of Elizabeth's wild son. The earl
OF Poulett, Elizabeth Newman's hus-
band, is said to haveshad a mistress,
whom he married after the death of
his wife, and by whom he had a son,
the result being that '.aristocratic
England" is likely to, be treated to a
long and wearisome trial, for Eliza
beth's son is determined to assert his
rights to the title and estates of the
earls of Poulett.

The Average Life of Buildings.
Fran the Waahinoton Star

From the Washington Star.
"How long does it take for q city to
rebuild ~itself?" said the Building In.
spector. "Well, that depends upon
the progressiveness Of the city. i
should say about seventy-five years.
That is the average life of building
nowadays. There are very few houses
in this city that were standing seven
ty-ive years ago. The old houses on
North Capitol street, built by General
Washington, are older than that, and
there are other old buildings in the
city. The Capitol is an old building,
but ! am speaking of private houses.
The buildings erected by the govern
ment, under careful supervision and
at great expense, Of course are more
durable structures than those erected
for private residences. The building
which is being erected by Mr..
Abel on r street will cost more
per foot, | suppose, than most gov
eminent buildings. No, it may not be
q good investment, but it is not be-
ing put up as an investment. 1t is a
monument. The new State, War and
Navy Department building is, how
ever, just as we'll built as that. That
building will be standing q thousand
years from now. 1t may, of course,
need some repairs before that time,
and the roof, of course, may have to
be rebuilt. No material or work isal-
lowed to 60 into that building unless
it is up to the standard. The army
engineers who have charge are very
strict. OF course a private individual
wouldnot put up such a building. IT.
would not pay. Yes, good brick ought
to be vs. durable as stone. 1t depends
a great deal upontiie manner (which
the bricks ~ laid. Good mortar be-
comes harder with age. 1t becomes
harder than the brick itself. When
dry bricks are laid during the warm
months the bricks will absorb all the
strength ofthe mortar. Bricks laid at
such q time ought to be wet. A wall
erected IN April or May or October
and November, of sufficient thickness,
ought to last for two or three cen,
turies."

OWENS GIVES HIMSELF UP.
Further Developments in the For
gerry Cnse-BOth Arraigned.

Since the article was written on the
forgery case the matter has more fully
developed and the name Of the Other
party implicated in the affair can now be
given. He is none other than w. G.
Owens, young man who is frequently
seen on the streets Of late dressed in u
velveteen suit and cowboy hat He
was formerly chief bookkeeper at one Of
the Bingham mines and was more re-
Gently connected with the Salt Lake
Dramatic Club.
At about o'clock to-day Ovens was
informed by friend that he was wanted
at the police headquarters on the charge
OF forgery. Owens proceeded to the City
Hall and informed the City Marshal that
he wanted to give himself up.
When preached upon the subject
Owens admitted that he had written 4
couple OF the notes for Hughes, but had
not signed them. He protests innocence
Of any OF his friends proceedings, and is
confident of proving himself innocent.
The fact that he gave himself into GUS
tody is, OF course, Il great point in his
favor, but there are other circumstance s
which are against him, and the case is
likely to give him some trouble.
AT O'Clock to-day two complaints were
sworn out against each Of the men,
charging them with forgery. Both OF
them entered pleas OF not guilty, and the
Court fixed Hughes bond at $1,000 on
each case and Owens at 81 900 on each
case. Neither OF the men had sureties at
hand, and they were therefore obliged to
go to jail, The preliminary examination
will be held before Judge Pyper at 3
O'Clock tomorrow, and the full particu-
lars will then be learned.

Prize Christmas Beef,

Considerable excitement was created
this morning by what may be termed u
bovine parade. Twenty lat beef-cattle,
raised by Lonergan & Burke on their
Idaho ranch, were driven through Main
street on their melancholy march to meet
their fate at the slaughter house. These
cattle are four years old, and have been
stall-ied for Christmas beef. They
are very behemoths, weighing on an
average OF $50 pounds. No finer cattle
have ever reached this market, and they
are destined to help make merry the
Christmas tide. Among these are two
choice three-Year-old Durham heifers.
These cattle will be dressed to supply
the stalls OF Lannan d Lonergan, the
well-known butchers at 233 Main street

A FRISKY FORGER.
He Carries paper TO the value of
over twelve Hundred Dollars.

This morning developed in the person
OF one Barney Hughes, a former Bing-
ham miner, forger to the extent OF
81 ,279, drawn in notes upon different per-
sons in and about the city.
Hughes went into G. NJ. Browns Side
board saloon last evening, and upon max
ing certain representations to the pro-
prietor, he succeeded in borrowing
$15 on note which reads as follows ::
"This is to certify that Barney Hughes
has deposited with me 1929, subject
to his order" Signed, j. j. O'Reilly.
Soon afterwards he went to Pete Tom
nev, of the firm of Tomney q Hillstead,
and upon leaving q note for $500 pur-
ported to be signed by McLane, Bing-
ham merchant, he succeeded in getting
loan of 500 from Tomney.
This morning Mr.. Brown went to Mr..
O'Reilly to ask him about the deposit
and that gentleman was greatly surprised
to see his own name signed to the note
which Brown held. He, Of course, de-
MED ever having written it and told
Brown that the fellow had never de-
posted cent with him. A little later
Mr.. Brown consulted Tomney and
the two decided to have Hughes arrested.
A short time later he was landed at the
Police Office and upon searching him it
was found that he had two promissory
notes upon his person purported to be
signed by John j. DAILY, the wealthy Park
City mining man. One of these is for
800 and the other for $3.50. Hughes was
nlocad in iail and the Interested parties
began to busy themselves with look
ing into the matter more thoroughly.
1t appears that some of the notes were
not written by Hughes, and there is
another party who is strongly sus'
pected OF being an accomplice
as some of the writing has been
identified as his. 1t seems quite
likely that the two parties had en-
tered into partnership, the one writing
the notes and the other passing them
The name of the second party is sup
pressed at the request of the interested
parties until the police have succeeded il
arresting him. When given, however, i
will create not a little surprise, as he is
man who would hardly be suspected.
| Hughes is a young man, less thai
thirty years old. He is quite a respect
able looking young fellow and has mad
quite number OF friends on the street
He has usually kept company with mel
of pretty decent reputation, and his pres
ent pickle will be Il great surprise t.
those who know him.

Mile. Aimee as the Little French Mil
liner in "Mam 'zelle" is fast becoming as
familiar figure on the New York stage
as was Mile. Aimee as the "Fille de Nine.
Angot" in the days OF yore. She APP
peared at the Union Square Theatre last
night before good sized audience to in
augurate the season at this house. Al
most constant laughter and applause
throughout the evening formed the best
testimonial OF her success. The scene
where the actors leave the stage to min
gle with the audience was particularly
productive OF merriment The actress
new songs, "Creep into Bed, Baby" and
"The ChiChen Pie" were favorably
greeted, but the great applause was ac-
corded pretty as n Picture" and the
showers of bouquets with which it was
received must have afforded pleasing
evidences that New Workers are not for
getful OF the success OF the past.-N. \.
