THE POWER OF WATER.
Constantly Working in One Form or An
other to Destroy the Land.

other to Destroy the Land.
A southern engineer contributes an
article on Geology and the Mississippi
Problem" to the Engineering Magazine.
In it he says:
We find in water the only tireless
agent that works ia the modification of
continents: and instead of being the
great renovator of the land, as it is
popularity conceived, it is the great de-
stroyer. The destruction of ancient
Rome has been attributed to time. But
it was due simply to the moisture of
the atmosphere working through
chemical agencies. 1t was water, in
visible, but penetrating even the very
stones OF the wonderful city, that
caused her to crumblc into ruins, and
gave to modern Rome grade greatly
elevated above her ancient grade. But
it works not lone in the cities and
towns. There is not a hill on earth
chat has not been shOrn of something
of its altitude by this subtitle force. ard
there IS not a mountain on earth, if not
dt!Ully renewed 10y volcanic action,
hat HIS not been compelled to lower
its peak before this universal levelcr of
the exalted. 1t may be a dreadful
thought. indeed, but we do not know
absolutely that we are not dependent
on the earthquake and the volcano for
keeping our continental habitat above
the level Of the ocean: for water not
only destroys. but it has the persistency
and force to carry off to its burial place
in the sea all that it has caused TO
perish. 1t may take long time at it's
task, but, working either in its gaseous,
its liquid or its solid form, it seems to
be the most persistent thing on earth,
never pcrishing, and, however divided
and invisible at times, always ready to
unite its forces for a supreme effort at
the degradation of continent"

The favorite recreation of PoSe's leit;-
urc hours was the society Of painters.
Nothing was more agreeable to the
poet, says Chambers journal, than to
spend an occasional evening with his
friend kneller, who, to use the words
Of ThacGcray, Dragged more, spelt
worse and painted better than any ar
fist of his day" Warburton tells an
amusing anecdOte of the two friends.
Mr.. Pope was with Sir Godfrey Kneller
one day when his nephew, a Guinea
trader, came in. Nephew" said Sir
Godfrey, You have the honor Of seeing
the two greatest men in the world"
Il don't know how great you may be-"
said the Guinea man, but don't like
your looks. hare often bought man
much better than both of you together,
oil muscles and bones, for ten guineas."
Sir Joshua Reynolds used to amuse
himself in his last days in his house in
Leicester square with u little tame
bird, which, like the favOrite spider of
Of the prisoner in the Bastille, often
served to while away a lonely hour.
But this proved a fleeing pleasure, for
one summer morning, the window of
the chamber being by accident left
open, the little favorite took flight,
and was irrccoverably lost, although
is master wandered for hours in the
square and neighborhood in the fruit
less endeavor TO regain it.

a young man laughingly remarked:
"Oh, yes, could afford to get married;
that's cheap; but l don't know that
could afford to get unmarried again, for
that comes pretty high" That young
man ought TO live in Spanish Honduras
for awhile, and he would not talk so
sliShtlngly Of the expense Of getting
married. The unfortunate natives have
to be twice married before the knot is
considered sufficiently tied. The civil
marriage is absolutely necessary, as it
is the only one the state recognizes
The religious marriage Is equally nee
essary. as it is the only one the church
recognizes. OF course this is true in
many Catholic countries, but in uohdu-

DIGGING FOR Fish.

In some parts of Ceylon the natives

DISASTROUS FIRE.

and Home.
The changing of the fire bell startled
the residents of Provo shortly after s
o'clock On Saturday night. Those who
came out saw only the boys Of the fire
department with their team and hose
wagon rushing northward on j street
at a furious gate, and faint blaze and
some smoke near the foothills north of
town.
The fire boys, after getting a few
blocks north of the academy, saw the
fire was too far away for them to reach
and returned.
Particulars of the fire were learned
this morning. The home of A. F.
WhippIe and all his furniture, his
granary and coutentS- at the mouth of
Provo canyon-was totally destroyed.
The loss will amount to at least $4,000,
insured for $1,000. Mrs. Whipple was
alone in the house and had just filed
the lamps. In going from the kitchen
with one Of the lamps in her hand she
tripped and fell over the carpet which
had gotten loose and was curled up at
door, the lamp falling on the stove,
breaking and cutting her hand. A
huge blaze was at once ignited and
Mrs. WhIpple, fearing that the oil had
gotten Con her dress, ran out doors.
In very short time the house was a
burning mass.
Neighbors came to the rescure, but
only a sewing machine was saved from

movable articles from the granary.
About fifty bushels of loose wheat was
destroyed.

Why Hoods Wins,


President Lincoln said, You cannot
fool the people second time" They
are too quick to recognize real merit or
lack Of it, and cling only to those things
which they find to be what is claimed
for them.
1t is especially gratifying that the
sale of Hoods SarSaparilla increases
most rapidly in those sections where it
is best known.
The inference is plain. Hoods Sars-
aparilla has proven that it possesses
genuine merit. 1t maintains high
standard, which others cannot even
approach. 1t is the peoples favorlte
