NOTICED TO PRODUCERS AND MANUFAC-
TURERS OF BUILDING MATERIAL.

Salt Lake city is experiencing an IN
precedented growth, and from present indi-
cations more costly residences and business
houses will be erected and more street i'm
provements made within the next two
years than have been in the whole past life
Of the city. In view of which the chamber
of commerce hereby calls public attention
TO thefact that Notwithstanding the variety
and extent of our natural resources we are
deficient and ill-prepared to meet the ex :
listing and fast-increasing demand for all
kinds of buildings and street-improving
mater ais. We need additional plant and
machinery for the production or manufac-
ture of ornamental, pressed, and common
brick, tile, sewer pipe, iron and wood pipe;
building stone, particularly cut and dressed
stone; lime, plaster of Paris, cement and
other materials for sidewalks and pave
ments; sash, doors, and ornamental wood
work; cornice and ornamental sheet iron
work and roofing materials. We earnestly
recommend that persons familiar with and
engaged in the above and kindred lines of
business take immediate steps this winter
to supply the urgent demand for such pro-
ducts which is already upon US and in
creasing with every passing day. They
may be sure of a growing market at re
munerative prices.

A new book by Henry Bacon, the artist,
is announced in Paris. 1t is entitled
"Cica, the Bandits Daughter" and it will
have sixty illustrations.
Charlotte NJ Yonge is said to be writing
her 101st book.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe is reported
to be mildly demented. Her trouble seems
to be gradual wearing away of all the
faculties.
Mr. E. Walford has completed. his long
promised Life of Pitt" 1t will be pub
lished early in January, with dedication
in Latin to Mr.. Gladstone.
Under the title of ''Whither! o Whittier?
Tell Me Where,'' ex-President McCosh
has written a pamphlet, now ready, on
some of the great theological questions
raised by DR.. Briggs book, ''Whlther?"
ODuring his imprisonment Mr.. William
O'Brien has been engaged on a novel
which he expects to finish by Christmas.
1t is to be called "When We were Boys"
and will probably be first published in
Lipptneott's Magazine.
A novel feature of the 'sWindsor Peer
age,n now nearly ready in London, will be
the omission of the ladies' dges-an limo
walton which it is expected will meet with
favor, though it must detract from the real
value of the record.
Prof. James Darmester has nearly fin
ished his translation of Afghan songs into
French, The text has never before been
written down, much less printed. 1t
seems strange that this should have been
left for Frenchman to do, while England
has such vital interest in Afghanistan.
NJ Francisque Sarcey announces his de-
cision not to apply for admission to the
French academy, to succeed the late Emile
Augier. His reason for declining is that
candidature would probably give grounds
for doubling the absolute disinterestedness
of his dramatic criticisms, as there are a
dozen dramatic authors in the academy.

Amusing a Child,

morning kiss, he said: 'Aunt Nennen.
I've come to ask you how I can have some
fun. Mamma says you can tell me, so do
hurry up, for Pm most dead for some kind OF
fun"
Fun whatever in the world should tell
him! scarcely knew, so l said: ''What

been feelin' like swing ever since 1 got
up, and so l went out front and swinged
on the gate, Then the janitor came up
and sayed bad words to me. Then he went
up and told mama if she didn't do some
thing with me we'd have to move. Then
mama sent me right off over here till the
lanitor gets over his mad, so here am and
want a swing"
After thinking for few minutes l
thought of the swing we had up in the gar
ret at the old home, so, determined to let
my little friend have one like it, l donned
my hat and off to the store we went, where
we found two great, stout hooks, with screw
ends, which we bought for five cents; we
also bought some stout rope which cost
thirteen cents. When we got home I had
the screws put into the top of the door
jams between two rooms. Then we made
a swing. 1t was good and strong and my

Boy Covered with Seabs.

My boy, aged nine years, has been troubled
all his life with very bad humor, which ap-
peared all over his body in small red blotches,
with dry white scab on them. Last year he
was worse than ever, being covered with scabs
from the top of his head to his feet and continu-
ally growing worse, although he had been
treated by two physicians. A last resort,
determined to try the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and
am happy to say they did all that could wish
Using them according to directions, the humor
rapidly disappeared, leaving the skin fair and
smooth and performing thorough cure. The
CUTICURA REMEDIES are all you claim for them
They are worth their weight in gold.

Progressive College Life.

The process of civilizing American
colleges has gone on gloriously for the
last three or four years. No one case
of fatal hazing has been reported this
fall. The practice is abolished from
nearly all colleges Of high rank, and
for the most part without the interfer-
snce of the trustees or faculties. The
Yale Sophomores recently voted
against it, and this will probably
abolish it forever from that institution.
Cane-rushes are sometimes rough, but
they are not brutal, tyrannical and
contemplate. There could be no
worse element of culture for our young
men than to suppose it manly, by
numbers and force, to browbeat and
make sport of harmless stranger.
The contemplate habit, when resist
lnce was offered, led to brutality that
would shame savages. Probably not
one OF the lending colleges but has on

ELECTRICAL NOVELTY.
An Ingenious Device for Ventilation and
Fire Alarm.

An Ingenious Device for Ventilation and
Fire Alarm.
A New York inventor, who has de-
voted many years to electrical re-
search, has just finished an invention
which ere long may come into general
household use. 1t consists of a neat
box containing peculiar thermometer
and hygrometer, with electrical at
tachments. The purposes of the ap-
paratus are many. If the temperature
of the room goes above or below limits
set by the occupants the expanding or
contracting mercury in the thermom-
eter establishes an electrical circuit
which opens or closes a hot or cold-air
register, and keeps it open or closed
until the desired temperature is re-
stored. Beyond the ordinary limits
are what are termed danger limits. "
The higher one is intended as fire.
detector, and is SO arranged as to ring
an alarm bell or gong, and where there
is tank provided to turn on stream
of water. The lower Is intended for
greenhouses and conservatories, and
likewise makes an alarm when
ever the temperature falls to a
point low enough to endanger
the plants. The hygrometrio attach
ment acts in the same manner regard
ing humidity as the thermometric does
respecting temperature lis only prac-
tical application, so far as the inventor
makes claim, is to give notice to q
florist when the air in conservatory
becomes too dry, or to a refner or other
manufacturer the atmosphere of whose.
drying-room becomes too moist to be Of
any avail.
The instrument is now in use in the
vaults of some of our great breweriea

has also been utilized by metropolitan
architects, who connect it with the
furnaces and cold air lues of the latest
styles Of palatial houses. When
it is necessary, as in large breweries
and cold storages, the circuit is so ar
ranged as to produce an alarm at the
place where the trouble occurs, and
also in central Office or superintend-
Snt's room. The fire alarm can also be
connected with the nearest fire and po-
lice station.-M T. Letter.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.
Recent Discoveries and Experiments Of
General Interest.

Recent Discoveries and Experiments Oe
General Interest.
Eastern w0od-workers are using
naphthaline as a wood preservative.
II is said to be very effective, leaving
the wood dry and with only a faint
aromatic smell.
A Swedish scientist claims to have
discovered the secret Of petrifying
wood BY artificial processes. He thinks
it will be possible ere long to construct
edifices of wood and convert them into
stone. AS it takes three months and
costs about five hundred dollars to
petrify block of wood Of the dimen-
sions of one cubic inch 1t will probably
be some time before his process will
be generally adopted.
A novel method Of locating a leak in
a water main has been employed at
Rochester, N. T., with entire success.
The break in the main was known to
be between the banks Of the river A
solution Of bi-permanganate Of potash
was introduced at a hydrant on the
side of the river nearest the reservoir,
and observers were stationed on the
river along the line Of the main. A
deep redish-purple discoloration Of
river water at one point soon made
the exact location of the leak apparent.
A mechanical engineer, writing
about betting materials, advises ma.
chinists to select belts of light color
in preference to others. THE best
betting" he writes, 'fhas an unmis-
taxable light-buff color, which indi-
Gates that it is not only all oak-tanned,
but that the leather has been thor
oughly washed by the currier to re-
move all matter except the fiber. The
light-buf color also indicates that
only the best quality Of greases have
been used; if the latter are of inferior
quality they darken and impair tho

One Of the troublesome questions
which architects have never been able
to settle is the placing of permanent
foundations under large buildings. The
latest experimenttried in this city, ac-
cording to the american Architect, is to
cover-before commencing the foot
ings-the entire area of the excava-
tion of the building with thick
stratum of concrete, laid directly upon
the top of the clay hard-pan. The
depth of this course is nearly two feet,
and its object is to strengthen the clay
that the sentlement may be reduced
to minimum. Chicago Neaos.

COUGHING IN CHURCH.
An EVIL Bred of Habit and Apparentl
rhOughtless Imitation.

An EVIL Bred of Habit and Apparently
rhOughtless Initiation.
Whoever has attended place Of
worship must have noticed that the
storm of coughing which prevails
therein, and the throat-clearing, which
moves like rabble of wrong notes
before the church music, are not who'll
ly natural phenomena. They are to a
large extent avoidable evils, bred of
habit and thoughtless imitation, and
their very desirable reduction is there
fore by no means hopeless. Even
where basis of disease underlies the
explosion, a little self-control could
usually do something to lessen its force
or its frequency. The same is of course
doubly true in the case of the merely
habitual cougher. Ayariety OF medic
inal aids might, moreover, be used in
support of such voluntary efforts.
There is, lastly, the option of refrain
ing from the use of the voice in wor-
ship should every other means fail to
assure that reasonable degree of quiet
which is natural and decent in public
worship. Remonstrance on the part
of the officiating clergymen affords
another possible remedy, and a
preacher must indeed be often tempted
to reprove this form of disturbance as
much in the interest of his hearers as
himself. Occasionally his judicious
interference might be useful. We can
not doubt that 1t has from time to time
been resorted to. 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that nowhere are tact
and temper SO needful as in the pulpit,
and that, however easy of use this cor
rective may appear, it would be un-
wise to establish any set method of
restraint in a case where so much de-
pends on personal discretion. A no
tice affixed at each entrance-door
would probably better answer the same
purpose. In one respect, indeed, both
clergymen and their lay assistance are
open to some degree Of blame In the
matter. The arrangements for heat
ing and ventilation are defective in all
most every church. By seeking out
and amending any evident errors In
these respects the official members OF
a congregation would at least be doing
what they could to abate the coughing
nuisance. London Lancet.
