ity and variety are coming into use.
There are mountains of iron and mex
haustible deposits of coal.
The telegraph, the telephone, electric
lights and street cars and other modern
improvements help to make Utah life con-
venient and enjoyable. Merchandise is
now almost as varied and cheap here as in
the large eastern cities. The people are
as well dressed and there is less poverty
than in any other part of the land.
Music and the drama are cultivat ted and
encouraged here. Sculpture, painting
and all the fine arts flourish. Salt Lake S
Tabernacle choir, choral society, dramatic
club, sculptors, painters and inventors
are world famed. Societies for intellec-
tual culture are numerous. All the lead
ing religious denominations are repre-
sented. Freedom of belief and worship
prevails. Education in the common
schools is free. A university and many
academies and high schools afford rare
opportunities for advancement. Seven
daily papers and a host of semi-weeklies
and bi-monthlies furnish the current
news of the world.
Utah, rapidly becoming wealthy, is yet
largely undeveloped, but her prospects
for the bringing forth of her immense
and varied resources are luminous and en-
couraging The strife which has him
dered her progress is passing away. Her
differences with the nation are settled.
A glorious career is before her and close
at hand. Her great attractions and
boundless possibilities are commanding
attention throughout the civilized world
Each succeeding Christmas day finds
Utah stronger, richer and better prepared
for her high destiny. Founded in poverty
and reared in adversely, she has raised
herself to fortune and to fame and is now
contributing to the wealth and prosperity
of the nation that spurned her and cast
her out At the opening of the approach
ing century no part of the country which
the inspired COLUMBUS opened to the
world, will be grander, freer, happier
and more progressive than Utah, queen
of the mountains, the future pride of the
great Republic.

Politics in Utah.

The political past of Utah has been
anomalous; its political present is some
what peculiar; its political future is
bright with promise and glowing with as
surance of permanent independence and
peace.
In 1S47 Utah was settled by the Nor
mon pioneers, who were soon followed
by their exiled friends driven from the
confines of civilization more than a thou
sand miles away. The new colony,
though commencing new life upon Mex
can soil, was chiefly composed of Amer
lean citizens. They flung the stars and
stripes to the breeze and proceeded to or
ganize an American commonwealth. A
provisional government was formed, I'M
der the Constitution of the United States,
and delegates were sent in 1S49 to Wash
ington to apply for admission into the
Union OF the state of Deseret. By this
time the region described in the State
constitution had become by treaty part of
the domain of the United States.
In 1850 Congress passed the organic act
which made the area thus described the
Territory of Utah. Brigham Young, the
head of the Mormon church, was APP
pointed governor Most if not all of the
Offices under appointment of the President
and Senate of the United States, were
filled by Mormon incumbents. AS there
was no national issue under discussion
and no national officer to be elected by
the people OF the territory, and they had
come 20 these wales with a common pur
pose and a common faith, there was no
local party division, and therefore no
party contest.
This condition OF affairs continued for
many years. After Governor Young had
served two terms and new executives
were successfully appointed, with other
officers sent here from the east, and peo-
pie of different faiths began to come in,
the great body of inhabitants remained OF
one political party as they were of one re-
ligious faith. 1t was not a union OF
church and state, however, because the
affairs of the territory and the affairs
of the church were entirely
separate and distinct Men in
ecclesiastical authority frequently sheld
civil office, but they were duly elected al
the polls and held their posts not by VIZ
tue of their church position but by right
of the suffrages of the citizens.
The advent of the railroad brought in
people from the east seeking adventure
or speculation, or homes in the west,
who brought with them their differing
views of politics and of religion. They
looked with disfavor on the solid phalanz
of Mormon unity and regarded it as un-
American. AS their numbers increased
they became bold IN their expressions o.
hostility. This, with the Legislation
commenced in Congress and the various
repressive measures of the government
against the Mormon people, favored i
not fostered by the anti Mormon clemens
in Utah, tended to cement the majority
more firmly together and render the loca

Hints to HOuSekeepers.
SHEET-1RON pans for cake and bread
are preferable TO tin.

SHEET-IRoN pans for cake and bread
are preferable to tin.
WHEN you buy raisins for cooking
purposes, seed them, wash and thor
oughly dry them and put in a glass jar
with tight lids. Currants also.
To tell good cod when you 90 to
market, examine the fish just above the
tail. In healthy cod the body is round
and plump. The lower half of the fish
will be almost cone shaped.
IRON POTS should always be boiled
out first with wood ashes and cold
water; then, when thoroughly washed,
they are ready for use. Skillets, grid
dies, iron gem-pans and wafll e-irons
should be well creased and allowed to
burn off once or twice before using.
A HANDSOME laundry bag may be
made of heavy damask towel with
snowy red border. Cut the towel in
two and sew on pieces of turkey-red
three-eighths of yard long to each
halt. Join these at the sides for bag
and make hem at the top wide enough
to run in red ribbon two inches wide.
The fringe ends at the bottom are fas-
tened together with herring-bone stitch
in red silk, which may continue all
around the sides.

Etiquette in NOte-Paper.

If there is any one thing in the world
that may be said TO denote the breeding
of person, it is in the taste displayed
in the use of note-paper Fashions
change but slightly in that line, and ar
tistc simplicity is the form TO be
sought after. There is nothing so Of
fensive as eccentricity in styles of
paper, for it is one of the little things
that seems so trivial and count for so
much in the eyes of the world. The
height of bad form is in the use of any
thing startling or pronounced. Paper
that rivals the sunset in go geousness
of hue, odd. shaped sheets and envel-
opes, or gilt-edged paper, stamp the
user at once as one who is not familiar
with the precepts of fashion. And not
fashion alone, by any means; it is re-
finement that is shown in the use Of
proper stationery, and refinement and
fashion may not always mean the same.
Never use a paper that is decorated
with flowers in one corner, the leaves
of which wander all over the sheet.
Avoid anything in that way. A land
scape resembling a Christmas card or
fancy figures for headings are not in
their proper places on note paper.
There is nothing artistic in such forms,
nothing refined, simply display of bad
taste and ill-breeding that is shocking
TO the person well informed on such
matters. The etiquette of note-paper
is dictated by ia tie. Ladies should use
only the smaller size of paper, requir-
ing but one fold, and the envelope
should be square. The single CORE
spondence cards have gone out of STYLE,
and are seldom seen nowadays. The
paper is generally linen or cream-laid,
as best suits individual taste, and should
be unruled. White or cream paper is
the best, although gentle shade of
blue is permitted. Other tints are not
desirable, neither are they proper. Do
not use paper ragged at the edges, or
envelopes with curious flaps. The best
linen paper may be purchased at the
same price as is paid for the fancy va
rieties, and the best is the cheapest; it
is guarantee Of refinement. If mon
ogram is desired, have it engraved
never printed. In this country, coats
of arms and crests are out of place, but
you may have neat monogram or your
initials for a he fading with perfect pro-
priety, only be sure that the work is in
keeping with taste, and not too prOmi-
nent or glariDg. The name of your
country place is very good, the name of
the village in which you live, or the
street number, if you chance to reside
in city. In the latter case, however,
omit the name of the town, and in
either case the state should not be given.
This is but glance at the iquette of
note-paper; it is very simple when you
think OF it, but so many people seem to
be ignorant of the rules. The one
great thing in note paper is TO avoid
vulgarity or show in any way, and then
you know that you cannot be wrong.
The simplest is the best. Oddities of
tint or ornament which are the caprice
Of day should be used with caution.

EIGHTEEN pounds of blood is about
the quantity nature allows to an adult
person. 1t is of the utmost importance
that the blood should be kept as pure
as possible. BY its remarkable cure of
scrofula, salt rheum, etc., Hoods Sarsa-
parilla has proven its claim to Se the
best blood purifier.
For a general family cathartic we
confidently recommend Hoods Pills.

A WONDER WoRKER.-Mr. Frank
Huffman, young man of Burlington,
Ohio, states that he had been under
the care of two prominent physicians,
and had used their treatment until he
was not able to get around. They pro-
nounced his case to be consumption
and incurable. He was persuaded to
try DIR. Kings New Discovery for con-
sumption, coughs and colds, and at that
time was not able to walk across the
street without resting. He found, be-
fore he had used half of dollar bottle,
that he was much better; he continued
to use it and is to-day enjoying good
health. If you have any throat, lung
or chest trouble, try it. We guarantee

After Christmas.

The tree that had served in the parlor,
The pride Of the girls and the boys,
Festooned all over with popcorn,
And hung with candies and toys,
With its gifts taken off from the branches,
Was being removed the next day,
While every child in the household
Was watching its journey away.
Then Lillian said to the others,
AS they met by the door of the hall,
u Let us carry 1t down to the garden,
And stand it up there by the wall;
And then we can play when we want to
That Christmas is coming again"
Il Oh, yes, let us do sol " said Lucy;
" All right echoed Charley and Ben.
With chorus Of shouting and laughter,
The tree to the garden they drew,
And, placing it straight in the corner,
They festooned the popcorn anew.
A telephone must have been near them
That understood what they had planned,
For the news of what they were doing
Spread quickly abroad in the land.
And soou from the west came sparrow,
And another soon came from the east,
While fiocks from the northward and
southwark
Arrived to claim shares of the feast;
Aud chickadees came from the thickets
In sprightliest holiday mood,
With pigeons from neghboring farmyards,
And how they all chartered and cooed
