marked that he was very lucky to

Written FOR The SUNDAY INDEPENDENT.
The world is indebted to Professor Fiske
for the theory that the physical evolution
OF the human species has ceased, and that
henceforth We may look for only psyche
logical development. This seems to be
borne out by the continually increasing
tendency to develop the mental faculties,
and to give the great prizes of life to the
clear head, instead of the strong arm. The
young men Of to-day are not ambitious ia
WELD the sword, but rather to get into the
learned professions. The country bred lad
does not dream of a soldiers uniform, but
of a doctors diploma.
AS to our occupations, 10 in our amuse-
ments; those requiring mental effort are
continually gaining In favor. II is aener-
ally conceded that n change of occupation
is the best recreation; yet it will be found
that those who depend entirely upon man.
uel labor for their support, prefer physical
exercise for their amusement, while those
engaged in mental vocations are more par
tial to sedentary games. Among these
games chess has SO far held the first place,
but the recent strides made by its great
rival, whist, would suggest that the auto
CRATIC monarch whom no enemy may cap
ture, may be compelled to yield the soepter
to the more democratic king that acknowl-
edges the superiority of the ace.
Whist was never 80 popular as now. It
is in the air. Tournaments are In lprogress
everywhere. The leading clubs in Philadel-
phia are trying to conquer their old enemy
and four times champion, the Hamilton club.
At Worcester the rivals are at it for fame
and tricks. Young's hotel in Boston was

The Press club in Boston had a hot fight

to acknowledge that they could not

New York Tribune has lately outlined sew

Milwaukee Sentinel chronicles the usual
winter hunt for the scalps of western

But there is on foot a tourney which will
eclipse them all. The Milwaukee Whist
club, the largest in the country, has issued
invitations to all clubs interested in whist
to meet at Milwaukee during the week be-

tute for this a lot of often entirely useless

they are lost. It was Howell that solved
the pl oblem which vexed whist clubs for SO
long, AZ to how to arrange eight players in
one OF the other seven for a partner once,
play againss him once, and hold the same
hands once, duplicate hands being played
at two tables simultaneously. The total
number of tricks taken by each player then
to be divided by the most taken by any
player who held that hand. This would re-
suit In an average similar to hat of the
baseball clubs who divide the number Of
games won by the number they might have
won; the highest average winning. This is
the system of arranging the tables, which
will probably be the one used at Milwaukee:

Split and parched with heat of June,

Hearts that beat the old, old tune,
Side by side the horses fly.

Eyes of blue-the Simla Hills
Silvered with the moonlight hoar;
Pleading of the waltz that thrills,
Dies and echoes round Kenmore.

THE SUNDAY LAW.

The committee on judiciary Of Provo
City should take immediate steps
towards amending the ordinance on
Sunday closing, by making it more
specific in its operations. As it isnow
too much opportunity is given to indi-
viduals to place their own construction
upon it, and reasonable constructions
too, and thus render it very difficult
for the officers in performing their
duty Then, again, if the law is to be
enforced. by all means makeit general,
and not let it be said that any one man
is Disseminated against more than an
other. Yesterday an instance ap-
peared where this was seemingly the
case-whetler it was is, of course, not
in our province to say. But here was
a man who was caught in the act of
violating the Sunday law, notwith-
standing the fact that he had closed
doors and cmtained windows. The
testimony showed that two of his regu-
lar patrons had asked him to accom-
modate them with shave. he did so.
While thus engaged the police detect
ed the violation of the law, and his ar
rest and conviction followed as mat
ter of course. Now, here is the point:
How did it occur that the prOprietOrs
of dozen or more stores or business
houses, doing business at the same
time that this shaving was in process,
were not arrested? They were amen
able to the law as much as was this
man, and should have been arrested
on the same charge as this individu-
al was arrested on.
THE DISPATCH is in favor of the
Sunday law. 1t believes that business
houses should be hermetically sealed
so far as trading on the Sabbath is
concerned, and it will endorse the ac-
tinns of the officers, and hold up their
hands in enforcing the law. But let
it work no more hardship on one man
than another.
BY all means enforce the Sunday
law. The community demands it.

THE DEMOCRATIC GAIL.

The call by the Democratic club of
this city for meeting in the Court
house on Friday evening SHOULD be
well attended. The political situation
of the Territory at the present time
demands earnest and thoughtful con-
sideration, and in no better way can
this be accomplished than by attend
ing meetings at which the principles
of either political party are discussed.
The movement inaugurated by the
handful of Democrats in this city last
winter has grown from the very CONS
mencement. AT first it seemed very
unwise and inopportune to the people,
and had the effect of calling forth the
ridicule of several Of the Daniels
with which every city is infested. But
time, which works all things, is dem
onstrating that the movement was
rife. and that it came at time when
change was needed. The platform
of principles drafted at that time was
signed by but eight individuals. Since
then others have beheld the revolution
coming, and have added their names
to the list, until now the membership
swells up to nearly one hundred
voters.
Every citizen should be in attend
ance at the meeting on Friday night
1t is open to all. No Democrat will be
debaTred from participating either in
the business of the meeting or in ex
pressing his views upon the move
ment. Let there be a rousing turn

A queer natural history fairy tale comes
from Scotland. At Haddington a cat gave
birth to four kittens, and with her off
Ipring took up her abode in the garden
summer house. Three of the kittens were
removed, and the lady of the house, on vis-
lting the summer house the next day, was
surprised to find that the fourth kitten
had also disappeared. Search was made,
but to no avail. Several days passed, and
the attention of the inmates was attracted
by the somewhat stealthy movements Of
the mother cat, when it was seen to go re-
peatedly to thick arch of honeysuckle in
the garden. Here the missing kitten was
found safely ensconced in a blackbird's
nest. A better retreat could not have been
chosen, as the nest was fully seven feet
from the ground and in the thickest part
of the honeysuckle. Here the kitten re-
mained apparently comfortable Ia lts novel
