A Hint for Caldwell.

Pccatello Herald.
Now that we are approaching the
months of severe heat, would it not
be we'll for all citizens in our town
to 60 over their lots, barn, out
houses, cellars and places wherein
they have placed decaying matter
during the past winter, and remove
that which is offensive as well as in
furious to health, giving careful at
tention to thorough policing of all
such deposits as may have accumu-
lated, thereby obeying that sacred
word that Cleanliness is next to
Goodness" and in the meantime be-
come public benefactor of health.
By so doing you will improve many
places that are at present the very
cess polls of diseases Incident to our
mountain climate.

PERSIA AND THE pERsIANs.
Superstition, Vice and Misery the Princi-

mentS of oppression ready in his hand he
Is all-powerful for evil, provided he is
content with the lion S share of plumber
ed province or the wealth of a subject con-
victed of being too rich. He is powerless
for good or for single reform so long as
the Mujtahids, the priestly order in Persia,
with their enormous influence over a super
stitiOus people, dread and dislike ''infdel'
and western innovations likely to weaken
their own power. The great mass of the
people are as apathetic in political matters
as they are fanatical in religion. As for
their capacity to rouse themselves to the
hope or the conception of better things IN
store for their unhappy country those who
indulge the dream must take them as they
are, and not be led astray by analogies of
free and Christian populations that have
no bearing on the question. Superstition
and vice have debased and enfeebled the
national life of Persia to an extent that
the ordinary English mind finds it difficult
to conceive. The incredible toll and squalid
misery of the ordinary peasants life is en-
dured with one object, which is to amass
sufficient savings to enable him to go on
pilgrimage to the Shah Shrines once in
his life at least, which done he becomes a
beggar again. The shameless avOwalS of
Sui poets find their counterpart in the
daily lives of thousands and thousands of
the better classes, who give themselves
openly to the worst forms of sensual excite
ment Opium and arrack are the daily
stimulantS to the jaded sense of thousands
of Shah Moslems, to whom they have ceased

There is no exaggeration in the picture

Devoted Lover Who Brayed Its Terrors

Frank w Guion. owner of the yacht
Endeavor, to New Haven. CT, has arrived
from voyage of Block Island. where he
was weather-bound during the recent great
storm. He reports a thrilling scene there
of which he was a witness. The EndeavOr
had intended to remain at the island only
a day. but was not able to leave until long
after the inhabitants had run out of fresh
provisions on account of the
blockade by the storm.
At the height of the gale the sea- which
swept the east shore of the island was ter
rife 1t washed over the breakwater and
submerged the steamboat dock. Among
those imprisoned on the island was the
principal of a school in New York, who was
engaged to be married to young lady In
New Jersey ON the day following that
which marked the crisis of the storm. He
vainly entreated the island boatmen to
take him to the mainland. None of them
would make the venture. Finally he and
two others strangers who We're anxious to
get away, opened their pocketbOoks and
persuaded the grizzled skipper of little
schooner smack belonging to New London

Clayhead from the breakwater would re-
quire at least two tacks in a sea running
mountain high 1t would be a desperate
venture. for if the vessel failed I'm stays"
she would be hurled on a lee shore. 1t
took nearly day to warp the schooner in
to deep water to prspare her Tor the trip.
Finally with a storm reefed mainsai and
her trysail set as a jib, she shot away.
There was great excitement when the pass
engers boarded the craft and, although a
gale of wind was blowing from sixty to
to seventy miles per hour, more than 1000
people gathered on the bluffs to witness
the evidence of the lovers devotion. The
schooner worked with difficulty in the seas.
Twice she nearly missed stays and tailed
close in to the breakers, which swept her
from stem to stern. In despair the skipper
was on the point of running for the break
water but the anxious lover persuaded
him to try once more. He did so, and the
attempt was a success. The schooner
bravely crawled by the head, and then the
danger was over for with long main
sheet the little vessel was squared away
before the blast She shot safely into
Stonington harbor one hour later, and 1t is
presumed that the wedding took place as
arranged.
