The Committee OF stock brokers

This is just as the APPEAL pre-
dlcted several months ago. Every

never known them to appoint any

brokers that there would be a
counter investigation, and both
sides were willing to call off their

committee resigned the inside man

no change in the ore developments.
This shows that the "inside manip-
ulators" can lift stocks any time
they feel like it.

Az of WINDOW Dressing.

The shop windows have put on their
last persuasive touches as the season
wanes. The milliners' windows look like
aviaries in which bonnets and hats are
perched like birds of gay plumage. But
nothing is done to attract the feminine
eye more slillfully than that which allures
the men. The artistic possibilities of
neckties are shown in many ways. One
enterprising dealer has hung his entire
window in deep indigo neckties splotched
with spots and waving lines. The lllu-
sion is of a very deep sea aspect and very
taking. On another street red and blue
shirts are made effective by displaying
them in lines so that the bars Of color
shall tell for all they are worth.
The art of window dressing we have
learned from the French. Two things
are necessary, a sense of color in masses
and by contrast and an appreciation of
the value of forms repeated These
Americans are getting, and it marks
progress on the way to becoming an artis-
tic people. A glove shop and a place for
wOmen's gear is a case in point. The
window is laid in black. On small raised
stands are long black silk stockings
folded with hanging ends, and on each Of
these are perched long, yellow kid gloves
knotted exactly in the same way. Above
these, which suggest, by the way, pre-
Raphaelite flowers in a foreground, are
black knitted silk vests, hanging like
banners between the long yellow gloves
which have the effect Of streamers. II
the center Of all is another vest, crossed
by magnificent pair Of yellow embroid

iterated yellow and black, might serv,

In a Mormon Sunday School

1t is easy to see how largely the foreign
element prevails here among the Nor
mons. There were in Utah in 1880 about
$4,000 foreigners to 100000 natives, and
since then there have been about 1900
Mormon immigrants. These immigrants
are chiefly English and Scandinavians,
and you may see Swedish faces every
where. In the Sunday school which
visited there was a Swedish class which
was taught in the Swedish language.
This Sunday school is worthy Of men
tion. After the administration of the
sacrament the school divided up into
classes, and in these classes the sexes
were always separated. During my visit
one of the teachers kept constantly with
me as went from class to class, and it
seemed to me that the teaching was
largely for the benefit of the visitors rather
than for the scholars. I was offered
the "BOOk of Mormon" and asked to read
with the pupils in turn as the reading
went around the class. After reading a
chapter young man explained it much
as we Gentiles do in one of our Christian
prayer meetings, and he told us how a
branch of the Israelites came to the
American continent and how the Lord
again appeared upon the earth and chose
his apostles here. He told how the rec
ord of his teachings in America among
the aboriginal tribes was Transcribed upOT
the golden plates of the "Book of Nor
mon" and how these were found in the
state of New York. 1t was interesting a!
a romance, but grew tired before he wal
through and left.-Salt Lake Letter.

In a Mexican Market sonare.

Passing on through the market place l
emerged suddenly from q side exit into
the market square Just in front of me
sat four or five groups surrounding a
bunch of smoking faggots, and as l ap-
preached them a little girl or boy would
step forward and offer for sale strings of
glass beads or baskets of images made by
Indians from clay. l bought several of
these images and narrowly escaped being
cheated in the process, for the little rogues
who are playing merchants know when
they have a stranger to deal WITH and
although they smile at you, showing their
white, pearly teeth, they will give you
the wrong change if they can.
Just beyond these groups l saw other
groups seated about large, square. holes,
which had been dug in the ground. At
first I could not understand this, but
after awhile found out that they were
engaged in roasting the century plant.
The holes in the ground were apparently
three feet deep and perhaps four feet
across the top. Inside these holes they
had placed half dozen stalks of the plant
over smoking faggots, and from the
smoldering fire there issued a volume of
smoke and the sound of escaping pulque.
By and by Mexican strobe up, threw
down three cent piece, and, without q
word, one of the agile boys jumped into
the hole, chopped off a bit of the wood
and delivered it to the purchaser, who
went away munching on it as though il
was the leg of chicken. The Juice Of
the maguey is sweet and Intoxicating, anC
great many of the Mexican people are,
regret to say, slaves of its power.-"R

Whnt Thev nnn,t Like

Our compact and interesting letter from
the Mantle summer school for teachers
had in it a whole sermon in that one quo
tation from Il teacher that there want
but one way of larnin' young ones any
thing and that was to give 'em what they
didn't like. What picture it offers of
the way some people regard children, and
the sort of people who sometimes secure
positions as teachers! That the senti-
ment as expressed bristles with errors of
grammar does not, unfortunately, prove
that a teacher did not utter it verbatim.
But the essence of the whole thing is in
that notion of giving 'em what they
don't like" as a means or education. It is
the philosophy of life for some people,
They go about, as a moral and religious
duty, taking the happiness out Of other
peoples lives for their good, choosing the
disagreeable where choice enters, and
turning to the left in a crowd because
the others turn to the right. ''They give
'em what they don't like, and know it.:
the right thing because those who get II
''don't like it." 1t is a pitiful way OF
looking at things, and it doesn't belong
in the Nineteenth century, but it is still
to be found and when found it cannot b,
cured.-HartfOrd Courant.

pelieiousness of Russian Tea.

The cuisine in the hotel and good re-

GOOD in the cheaper houses we have tried.
Nowhere Is living dear. Tea, most deli
cious, with nice bread, and enough for
two, cost eighty kopecks, and trinlz gelt
to the waiter of say TENN all about
forty cents. Chocolate, two tumblers
full, and bread or cake for two, same
price. A good dinner of soup, two kinds
meat and vegetables, with compete and
glass of beer, costs in the best places, for
two, about $1.10 of our money. The
same at a respectable place, but not so
well prepared, yet good enough, about
thirty-fve cents per person of our money.
make it a rule to try all kinds of places
where food is clean and respectable. Rus
sian tea is very fine. 1t is served thus:
A teapot large enough to hold one large
cupful, and half full of leaves, is placed
before two persons, with another large
Dot of boiling water. We half fill our
cups from the teapot and fill up with hot
water, and, if desired, with cream or
with milk, at the same time filling the
teapot with hot water In this way we
can have as much as we can possibly de-
sire.
notice Russians drinking and reflling
until the decoctiOn coming from the pot
is barely colored. We, however, refill
only once, getting thus two large cups of
delicious tea. The third cup is strong
enough for table use. For each portion

bread enough for fair breakfast. l no
tice Russians putting sugar in their
mouths and sucking the tea through it OF
eating it after swallowing some tea. This,
| however, when tea is taken simply as a
beverage and with a slice of lemon. One
disgusting habit is common here in the
| better class of restaurants. A glass OF
water is served after the meal, with a
| finger bowl The mouth is washed and
| the water poured out of it into the finger
! bowl. l have heretofore seen this done
at many tables dhote on the continent
but here so far it seems universal. There
| is nothing in this really filthy, but 1t il
suggestive of nastiness. 1 have seen i
among Travelled swells in America. 1t i
habit hope will not take deep root ever
in our swelldOm. To wash the mouth be
fore smoking is a luxury. But there ar

col. Robert G. Ingerso1l,s Idea.

Most people regard those who violate
the law with hatred. They do not take
into consideration the circumstances.
They do not believe that man is perpetu-
ally acted upon. They throw out of con-
sideration the effect of poverty, of neces-
sity, and, above all, of opportunity. For
these reasons they regard criminals with
feelings Of revenge. They wish to see
them punished. They want them impris-
oned or hanged. They do not think the
law has been vindicated unless somebody
has been outraged. Hook at these things
from an entirely different point of view.
regard these people who are in the
clutches of the law not only as unfortu-
mates, but, for the most part, as victims.
You may call them victims of nature, or
Of nations, on Of governments; it makes no
difference, they are victims. Under the
same circumstances the very persons who
punish them would be punished. But
whether the criminal is a victim or not,
the honest man, the industrious man, has
the right to defend the product of his
labor. He who sows and plows should
be allowed to reap, and he who endeavors
to take from him his harvest is what VIZ
call criminal; and it is the business o.
society to protect the honest from the dis
honest.-New York World Interview.

Use of Ethereal Whisky.

According to The Lancet, in certain dis
tricts in the north of Ireland ether is
largely used as an intoxicant. A special
kind of ether is prepared for drinking
purposes, and its success in supplanting
whisky appears to be owing to its cheap
ness, for person can obtain for a penny
sufficient of the potent fluid to intoxicate
him. 1t may be here mentioned that the
so called chloric ether, which, under its
newer name of spirits of chloroform, is
prescribed to give a pleasant flavor to
nauseous draughts, has often been used
as stimulant by inebriates who have had
access to it. It is not ether, but consists
Of a solution of chlorOform diluted in
nineteen parts of rectifed spirit. With
regard to ether sold for drinking pur
poses, it is asserted that the excise
authorities have been applied to, but they
havC no power to control its sale
