MODERN EASTERN MAGIC.
The Various Branches of Occult Studies
in Vogue at the Present.

The journal of the Anthropological
Society of Bombay contains a curious
paper by Mr.. Rehatsek on twenty of the
branches of Eastern magic, all of which
are in vogue at the present time. The
first of these is the ''Arcana of letters
and of names," by which letters and
figures are combined into magic
squares, lamentations, etc. These de-
rive their power from the arbitrary
use of them made by the spirits govern
ing the natural world, in such way
that the ninety-nine beautiful names of
God and other divine words formed of
letters containing the Arcana, which
pass into material substances, inter
cede." The magician, of course, is the
sole interpreter of the uses and signifi-
canoes of the combinations.
Alchemy, comes next, and is followed
by astrology, the most popular of all
the Eastern occult sciences. 1t is
thefts, to foretell the result of u journey,
the future of an infant, etc. Another
popular practice is soothsaying from
the sacred books by opening one at
random and placing finger on line.
This is almost the only one of the
sciences which costs nothing, and
which every one can practice. The
selection of days is Il subordinate
branch of astrology, and is employed
to ascertain what days are lucky or I'M
lucky for the commencement of certain
enterprises, the wearing of new clothes.
and the like.
Divination and the Interpretation
of dreams are common everywhere.
Summoning and subjugating demons
is the most fearful of the magical
sciences. There are two kinds. one
dangerous and embracing unlawful
magic, the other religious and consist

flame so that they are compelled to

A Queer Case.

The courts at Tifis, Russia, have a
queer case before them in the suit of
a man to recover $I65 from pro-
fessional assassin. He had hired the
assassin to kill an enemy, paying him
SIS down and promising SIS more
when the job was done. The as
sassin was to bring one of the MUIR
dered mans ears as proof of death.
He did SO, and received SIS, with an
additional SIS as tip. A few days
after he met his enemy alive and both
ears intact. On investigation he dis
covered that the assassin had re-
ceived $1oo from the intended vic
tim to deceive his employer by show
ing him dead pauper's ear.

Death Rate of Various Coun-
tries.

Eighteen persons out of every
thousand die each year in this coun-
try In England the average is 2o.5,
in Germany 26.1. These figures
lead naturally to the reflection that
while Americans may live faster in
this world than some of their con-
temporaries, they show admirable
judgement in dying slower.

Hurt by Falling Timbers.

Shortly after s O'Clock last even.
ing, the heavy wind blew down the
frame enclOsere which had been
placed on the sidewalk around the
Emporium building. Airs. Tunni.
son, who resides near the Rio
Grande Western depot, was passing
at the time. She had n babe in her
arms and a little boy on either side
OF her. They were all knocked down
by the falling timbers, and Mrs. Tun-
nison had her right leg Lrokep,
while the children fortunately es-
capped with a few bruises. The
lady was at once taken into the
Coop. drug store, when DIR. b. S.
Young attended to her injuries, and
she was taken home later in a car
rage. o. i. Dle, who had flower
stand in the south end of the build
ing, was also struck by the falling
timbers and was injured about the
back.
1t is stated that n claim for
damages will be made against the
city, for permitting the sidewalk to
be encountered with such a danger

An INCORRECT REPORT.


THE leading anti-'Alormon"
journal, published in this city, is
indus;rirusly circulating a state
meut to the effect that the Church
is using an influence with the
Union Pacific Railway Company to
procure the position OF general
freight and passenger agent OF
the Utah Division OF the system for
Mr.. ]. II. Rumel. We would never
have noticed the statement, which
is garnished with the usual mass Of
senseless abuse commonly made use
of by the paper referred TO, but it is
being repeated and We understand
some people are so misguided as TO
be inclined TO believe il.
We have taken some pains to in
vestigate the matter, aud the result
is we have learned that there is no
truth in the assertion. The chief
authorities Of the Church have
made no such suggestion as the cne
attributed to them and have used
no influence to procure the appoint
ment in question for any person
whatever. We are authorized by
them TO so state. So far as they are
concerned, the Union Pacific Rail-
way Company is left to transact
its own business.

gary new cabinet has just been

France has also had some trouble In
finding men willing TO accept POSI-.

From Austria comes the intelli-

rather suspicious. A rumor Of thai
kind does not, as n rule, start without
some foundation and when a govern
ment wishes to conceal that founda-
ton, something must be hidden
underneath.

in Europe ut present are fast crowd

The CITY Water.

II Is to be hoped that the munich.
pal government OF Salt Lake will
not resolve to act favorably on the
proposition TO sell the city's water
works system to a private corpora
ton with the privilege Of buying it
back at the expiration Of fifty years.
On its face the proposition seems to
be fair and advantageous to the
city, but on close scrutiny the adj
vantage would be on the side
Of the purchasing syndicate
and against the people. Above all
things Of n public nature, the water
supply should be owned, operated
and controlled by the city. Practi-
cally the water in Salt Lake City is
held by the city in trust for the peo-
pie, and many attorneys claim that
the proposed sale would he illegal.
The water system in the metropOli-
tan city Is as valuable TO the people
as 1t would lie in the bands Of n
private company, aud il is not likely
that the sale Of the rights Of the
people which are held in trust by the
city government will be made for
any sum Of money.-Pdrk Ciy

Treatment OF a Common Cold.


A correspondent fthe British Ned

as widely known as II deserves 10 be
that twenty grains Of salicylic acid,
given in liq. ammon. acct. three or
four times day will so far control n
common cold that the aching Of the
brow, eyelids, etc, and during
movements Of the eye, viii cease in
a few hours, while the sneezing and
running from the nose will also
atiate, and viii disappear in few
days, and, more fortunate still, the
cold will pass Off and not finish up,
as is customary, with a cough. II
may be that il is only in persons
tainted with rheumatism where we
find chill followed by such train
Of troubles, and certain it is that
different persons suffer in different
ways after n chill. But for a very
great number Of persons Of fair
health who are liable 10 take a COM
mon cold it is highly desirable to
avoid cough, and the salicylic-acid
treatment places this in our power.n

valley is milder. We have no high
winds at any time OF the year.
We have had a long winter. 1t

the snow has covered the ground
more or less, ever since.
Our valley is possessed Of excellent
soil. The Bench land is mostly
co use gravel, mixed with fine black
meadow soil. tits exec e lingly rich
II should be understood, however,
that this is not the place for big cat
tlemen. there being DO hay lands of
any real value. But people who
desire good and substantial homes
and are indusiriously inclined may
obtain them.
The mountain streams are not
very large, anu therefore insufficient
TO irrigate the entire valley.
Grain, such as wheat. harley and
oats, do wen; also potatoes, lucern
and timothy. These can be pro-
duced in great variety anlexcellent
quality.
There are about one hundred
families In this valley They all
live on their claims, and there is
room for more settlers yet.
Our financial condition is satisfac-
tory.
We have no ward organization in
this valley but there are three
branches, with three presiding
Priests.
The valley Is admirably adapted
to dairy purposes and cheesemak-
ing, the grazing facilities being ex-
cellent, both on the hills and in the
mountains.
The people in the south end Of
