A few days ago the principal of the
Twentieth ward school spoke to her pupils
on the subject of THANKSGIVING and Incl

Yesterday morning the entire corps of
teachers at that school were surprised to
see little army Of comnlissaries march
into the grounds, loaded with supplies OF
provisions, including everything in tho list
of edibles which the average Salt Lake

every description and delicaciss as well
were included

into the domain of finance, with view
to establishing, through international
agreement, uniform intrinsic value for

continent, and ultimately, in all the
great commercial nations of the world.
This plan, of course, could it be eff
fected, would amount to monetizing
silver in the countries which enter into
it. 1t has been attempted many times
but the statesmen of Europe have never
had the courage to take step so fatal
to the purposes of the single standard
interests. Mr.. Blaine seems to think
that could he consolidate his plan on

IN REPUBLICAN CIRCLES.
Dependency in the G. o. p. over It's Pet
Presidential Candidate.

Dependency iii the G. o. p. over Its Pet
Presidential Candidate.
Two months ago almost any repub-
lican not holding federal office, if asked
to name the next nominee of his party,
would have answered 'Blaine" without
hesitation, and almost any democrat
would have agreed with him; but in the
interim there has been a change, the eff
feets OF which are becoming distinctly
visible. 1T is not a change against Mr..
Blaine, for nearly all republicans look
upon him as the one prominent pub
lie man they have who does not belong
to the past 1t is sort of despair of
him as an impossibility. The depression
which usually follows party defeat de-
veloped among republicans everywhere
after last November into enthusiasm
for Blame. This is rapidly changing to
apathy as the feeling grows that Mr..
Blaine is allowing his fortunes and the
fortunes of the party to be inextricably
involved with the record made by Mr..
Harrison and with that gentleman S as
pirations for a second term.
The result is a greater republican de-
spondency now than was observable
after the November defeat, the force of
which was broken for republicans by
their confidence that with Blaine's
leadership they could retrieve them
selves. 1t is very evident that Mr..
Blaine has been greatly hampered by
this spontaneous and almost unanimous
expression of party confidence 1t must
have greatly exaggerated Mr.. Har-
rison's antagonisn for him. At any
rate there is a growing belief that his
position under the Harrison admins
tration, which he cannot abandon,
gives Mr.. Harrison an advantage over
him which cannot be overcome even by
the will of the party.
1t does not follow that Mr.. Harrison
will be renominated. The party is not
with him, but merely negative opposi-
ton will not count against the great in.
huence of the federal ice-holders.
Unless the opposition unites on can.

demand, and vice versa. Statistics show
this, and all undertakers recognize the
existence of the fact. The grip last
year simply evened up matters, in

boom for our wares. For the previous
eighteen months the death rate through

ODDITIES OF ETIQUETTE.
Queer Customs Which Prevail in Lands
Beyond tho Sea.

Beyond tho Sea.
In Sweden if you address the poorest
person on the street, you must lift your
hat. The same courtesy is insisted upon
if you pass lady on the stairway. To
enter a reading room or bank with
ones hat on is regarded as a bad breach
of manners, says writer in London
Wit and Wisdom. To place your hand
on the arm Of a lady is grave and OBJ
jectionable familiarity. Never touch
tho person; it is sacred, is one of their
proverbs. In Holland lady is expected
to retire precipitately if she should en-
ter a store or a restaurant where men
are congregated. She waits until they
have transacted their business and de-
parted. Ladies seldom rise in Spain to
receive male visitor, and they rarely
accompany him to the door. For a
Spaniard to give lady (even his wife)
his arm when out walking is looked
upon as decided violation of propriety.
In Persia, among the aristocracy, a
visitor sends notice an hour or two be-
fore calling, and gives days notice if
the visit is one of great Importance. He
is met by servants before he reaches
the house, and other considerations arc
shown him according to relative rank.
The left, and not the right, is consid-
cred the position of honor. No Turk
will enter a sitting-room with dirty
shoes. The upper classes wear tight
fitting shoes, with goloshes over them.
The latter, which receive all the dirt
and dust, are left outside the door. The
Turk never washes in dirty water.
Water is poured over his hands, so that
when polluted it runs away.
In Syria the people never take off
their caps or turbans when entering
the house or visiting a friend, but they
always leave their shoes at the door.
There are no mats or scrapers outside,
and the floors inside are covered with
expensive rugs, kept very clean in Mos
lem houses, and used to kneel upon
while praying.
