THE FIGURES FOR IT.

From now on every man who is
at all interested in politics will be
scanning the roll OF states to see
what chance his favorite candidate
has for election. The electoral COL
lege has now 444 votes. In 1883 it
had 401 votes, Of which the repub.
licans got 233 and the democrats
1853. The number now necessary to
elect il 2l23. The new states are re-
sponsible for half this increase and
are as follows:

Political ambition makes some men
think themselves wonderous wise.
A certain South Dakota politician
never lost a chance to be interviewed,
and always misrcpresented the nc
tual feeling in the state toward the
president at the Minneapolis con-
vention. This fact is generally rec
ognized without calling the name.

With only l57 votes in sight, the
republicans will have to get66 more
from doubtful states. It will be OBJ
served that Iowa, Indiana, Wiscon-
sin, Mischigan and New York are
classed as doubtful, but it is more
than probable that all will go repuh-
lican this year. But to succeed the
republicans will have TO regain al
least three of the five states which
have been carried by the democrats
since the last Presidential election.
This can easily be done, and it
will be done.

According to DIR. Brewer the expression
"Hes a BRICK" is university slang and
arose in the following way: a brick is
deep-red, md so deep-rea man is a brick
To read ike o brick is to read in order to
become deep-read. A deep-read man is q
good MANI in university phrase. A good
man is a jolly man with non reading men
Therefore o jolly fellow is brick THIS
false Logic afflrcs but roundabout inter
pretstiou of he phrase. Another explana-
is more classical that the phrase is de-
rived from an expression of Aristotle,
which, transl ated from Gresl1 into Eng
lish, signifies "a four-cornered man. q
brick having four corners. BY mau of
action being square we mean s'honest. y
Aristotie's ex preston may be rather equiv
alent TO an '.slrround' man. On the other
hand it's origin is traced &c aeEend related
by Putarch about Agesilaus, king OF
! Sparta. On an ambassador expressing to
the king his wonder that none OF the Spar
tan cities mad walls of defense, Agesilaus
took aim to where his little army wera
drawn up for inspection and, pointing to
them. said; ''rhese are the walls Of
Sparta, ten Thousand men and every man q
'orick.''
Al the coming of the Spaniards, 1892. the
most effective weapon among the Carib-
bean Indians was wooden lance, the point
hardened in the fire.

then spoke He also followed UP with re-
marks upon the necessity of building up
home industry. He said that Brigham
Young always desired home industries to
be established, anu oflen admonished the
people TO set up their own factories in this
country and often commissioned men to
set up mills, etc. He also sent many mis-
sionaries to teach the people TO grow cot
ion in the south. The result OF the indi-
yidual efforts has been to give US manu-
factories which make many things that
can be seen IN the fair. The people should
labor TO establish home industries by CON-
ing together and working together. He
would advise the people to help homo il

He stated this was no political speaking,
but that the principles ne laid down were
principles that concern the temporal well
fare of all the people, and that they were

In the year 1912 French peasant boy,
Stephen by name, and German boy named
Nicholas, also peasant, started what was
called the Chiidren's Crusade, the avowed
purpose of which was to rescue the Holy
Land from the iniidels. So successful
wore these two boys in arousing the en-
thusiasm of their fellows, thato 90. 600
children left their parents and started 10
battle in the cause of Christianity, but
their efforts resulted lameniably for them.
The French children embarked from Mars
ellles in August, and one half of them rer-
ished by shipwrecK and the others were
sold into slavery after being captured by
the Mohammedans. The Germans met
scarcely better fate: but the example
set by these little ones was inspiring to Ia
ter soldiers of the cross, so that they can
not be said to have worked in vain.

Women Smokers.

Attention has been called to the
question of cigarette smoking among
women. That many women do smoke
we cannot deny, and in Spain and
Cuba, of course, it seems perfectly
natural to girls to do so, because it is
the custom. In Paris, also many
w'men light their cigarettes and sip
their coffse before the cafes, in full
view of the public, and it is sanction
ed by ali classes Of society, because
they are used to it.
We, however, az O nation, do not
relish the idea Of our women putting
away in imitation Of their husbands
or brothers.
That many of our girls do smoke
is evident from the sale of cigarette
cases and match boxes.
A dealer informed us that women
rarely come for their cigarettes them
selves, but send small brothers, mes
senger boys or any masculine envoy
that they con secure to do their
errard. Girls usually begin tbs
habit by thinking it q great fun and
and just little wicked to take a few
puffs Of the alluring cigarette, but
afterward they become accustomed
to smoke and enjoy it.
A great many fashionable women
do smoke, but society has frowned
down any public exhibition of this
practice. Many a wife sits down
with her husband and together they
take their after-dinner puff.
