About "A foot below the top of the man
tel a thin board was placed horizontally,
supported by two uprights rising from
the floor at each end. OF course these
boards were the same width as the man
tel. Fourteen inches from zach end of
the lower shelf two upright boards were
placed between it and the top shelf. The
space left between is hidden by a cur
tain that falls to the lower shelf. 1t is
made Of a straight piece of heavy can
vas, which had a large pattern of flow
ers on it. The pattern was lone in blue
oil paint, and was outlined with gol'
floss. The entire background of canvns
is heavily silvered, and n fringe made Of
the gold floss falls straight across the
bottom. This curtain has no folds.
The entire space between the lower
shelf and the floor is curtained with dull,
foreign looking blue stuff, purchased
cheaply at an oriental store. 1t is out
lined across the bottom in an
tional pattern with gold tinsel braid to
match the gilt rod that suspends it. The
top shelf-the original mautel shelf-is
covered with the same stuff, which falls
over straight to cover the edge, but only
for the width of an inch. A tracery of
the gold braid relieves that, and the
same covering is placed on the end Of
the lower shelf that remain in sight, also
plain pieces of the blue are tackled against
the back, to conceal the white paint of
the original mantel uprights. A scarf
or w can be used with effect on the
ends Of the mantel, but care must be
taken not to give a confusing effect.
This can be prevented by a uniform and
quiet color of the entire drapery. Vel
low, not too bright, could be used, also
dark red or certain shades of brown.

Don't be a spider
and cra,ol in these days Why
not keep up with the nineteenth
century? You would not buy a
steam engine made like those of
a century ago. Then why should
you buy the old-fashioned, big,
drastic pills that grippe and debili-
tate your system?
AS great improvements have been
made in pills as in steam engines.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
tiny, sugar-coated granules, or pills,
are easiest to take, and never grippe
or shock the system.
They are purely vegetable and
perfectly harmless.
One little Pellets a laxative, three
to four are cathartic. They regu-
late and cleanse the liver, stomach
and bowels - quickly, but thor
oughly. They're the cheapest pill,
sold by druggists, because you only
pay for the good you get. They're
guaranteed to give satisfaction,
every time, or your money is re-
turned. That's the peculiar plan
all DR.. Pierce's medicines are sold

This new panier costume is for dinner,
visiting Tin the afternoons and evenings
only, and for high teas, and perhaps
garden parties. The model is of lilac
bengaline with true lovers knots of pale
green, and with punches of passion
flowers and their leaves and tendrils in
soft coloring. The panier is of lilac faille,
and the sleeves and waist are the same.
The panier is fastened at the pack in the
same manner as it is in front, gathered
under the points. Full jabots of old
Mechlin lace fall on the right side of the
front of the skirt and on both sides of
the waist. With this is to be worn a
wide trimmed hat of ace straw, trimmed
with lilac ribbons and passion flowers
and lace.

In the case of patriotism it is doubtless
r that exaggerated statements of the
virtues and greatness Of the past do lit
tie harm and often good, but it is rather
far fetched to endeavor to class such ex-
a~ggerations as hypocrisy. The hypocrite
is not anxious to exalt others, but him
self; even if, in exalting himself, he pulls
down others. But, waving this con-
fusion of terms, does any one suppose
that myth is more elevating to q people

HELP THE TOWN.

Everything points to rapid
development of Provo to a wonderful
expansion and the establishment of
many needed enterprises the natural
and acquired advantages of the city
warrant and make desirable. Every
thing points in this direction, but
there can be no satisfactory accom-
plishment if those who ewn the land
that is unimproved refuse to build
themselves, or sell at least a part Of
their holdings TO those who will do SO
and on terms that viii encourage the
improvement. The man who sits up
on waste place, refusing to develop
it or allow anyone else to, not only
presents an obstacle to his own finan-
cial advancement, but is detriment
to surrounding property owners, for if
one part of town. largely owned by
the do-nothing class, lags in the march
of Improvement, some other part,
where the owners of the land are
liberal and enterprlsing will certainly
get the beneft-ofit, leaving the first
to wait the stiH greater building up of
the city to add values Of its real estate,
and which under a different policy
would have reaped the immediate
gain. If You have two lots. then, and
can find a purchaser for one Of them,
at a fair valuation, who viii put a
substantial improvement upon it, sell
and thereby add almost as much to the
value of the remaining lot as you sold
its mate for, while poeketing the
amount OF the sale. in this way, not
by refusing to build or sell to those
who would, cities are built up and
real estate made valuable.

ferred by section one of this act, the
Supreme Court of said territory shall

to time to change such assignment
and to provide for occasions of dis
ability or absence in such cases accord
ing to the practice now authorized by

About fifty teachers and several
prominent visitors were in attendance
at the mldTlnter meeting OF the Coun-

last. Supt. Wilson called the meeting
to order at eleven O'Clock and compli-
mented the teachers on the interest
manifested in these gatherings.
Prof. Merrill presented the subject
of Reason and the Will. y The
gentleman briefly reviewed, and refer
red In a complimentary way to Talks
on the Mind heretofore presented to
the association by Prof. Rees. He
then proceeded to classify the mental
powers, by appropriate Illustrations
from the fields of logic and 1athema-
tics, and entered into his subject with
ability though the half hour allotted was
not sufficient to cover the whole sub
ject.
A brief discussion followed, in which
Messls. Brimhall, ReeS and Whitecot-
ton participated.

THE MAN WHO IS DOWN.

The world is harsh to the man who
- down. There doesn t seem TO be lead
anv place for him among his more pros
porous fellows. Those who sue
ceed through good fortune, or on &C
count of well-directed efforts, seem to
take it as an affront that the poor fel-
Iow who is down has the audacity to
keep on living.
Those who knew him in his more
prosperous days are prone to shun him,
and those who did not are not desirous
of making bis acquaintance. If there
was any way of concealing the truth
he might have some show Of climbing
up again, but unfortunately it can not
be hid and there are a thousand ways
in which the fact that he is down is
proclaimed to an unsympathizing
world La the first place there is his
seedy attire, then his gaunt counten-
znce and the hopeless look in his eyes
His actions bsspeak his condition and
the tones OF his voice are accusing
witnesses, giving continual testimony
against him. The consolation he re-
ceives when it is offered generally
serves to make him feel the degradation
all the more keenly. OF what use is
pious tract to starving man, or
temperance lecture to q sufferer from
drink? Yet there are many who think
they have performed their whole duty
to an unfortunate brother through
such administration.

ONE OF the laws passed by the Ter
ritorial Legislature last March was an
act creating a bureas Of statistics.
When the information shall have been
eollated from all the counties of Utah it
will be of unestimable value. Then
the true population of the Territory
and all Of its industrial, commercial
and other enterprises will be made
known in detail. As 5000
copies of these compiled statistics
viii be printed for distribution,
they will prove An advertisement
of great worth to the territory. 1t is
to be hoped that the people viii not
hesitate about imrarting 30 the asses
sor the information he may desire, as
it is of the utmost Importance that the
work OF the statistic gatherer be
thorough. With the hearty co-opera-
tion of the people who have a pride in
the prosperity of their respective
county and territory. the result will
convince the outside world that Utah
is no mean country.

THEY ARE HAPPY"

We read the other day in an Eastern
paper that fifteen hundred women
were in a state of almost delirious
happiness because, after many months
of idleness, they were to have a chance
to work as hands in a factory.
Poor, unfortunate wretchesl How
little it takes to make them happy!
No home life for them. No opening
sut of joyous Yistas. No opportunity
TO cultivate the sweet graces of social
life. No chance to inform the mind
or refine the manners. No leisure for
thought. No time to prepare for tbs
duties and responsibilities of wife
hood and motherhood. Nothing but
a ceaseless round of toll for pittance.
Nothing but hard and repellant work,
the sleep of physical exhaustion, and
then the same hard, repellant work
again. And they are nappy, because
they have q chance to do all this,
while myriads of their sisters are
thrown into an ecstacy of unhappi-
ness if Fido shifts at his chop or if
Thomas is minute late with the
carriage. Verify, this is a strange
and egnimatic world. We say hat
quite frequently.
But the divine tells US that Its enig-
mas are wisely ordered, and that We
should ali be content with our lot in
life. Maybe so; but it is hard to be-
lieYe that God is content with the lot
of these ! 500 women, or with the lot
of the great multitudes whose csndi-
tion is unspeakable worse even than
theirs.
