Magazine One can be made cheaply by
setting posts in the ground and roofing
over with strips of lath, put close enough
to give full shade. Under such shelter

How to Lay a Carpet.

Sometimes through carelessness or ig-
norance really good carpet is actually
spoiled by the way it has been put down.
The proper wayi is to lay the carpet ON
the center of the floor, and unfold it by
degrees, do not drag it about. When it
is open let the center width be laid out
perfectly straight from end to end, and
put tacks at each end to keep it in place;
then lay the other widths in position,
tack one end firmly, and with carpet
stretcher strain the other end till the
whole surface is smooth and fiat. Next
nail down one side at right angles to that
first nailed, taking care to keep it
straight. When the side and end at
right angles have been tackled into posi-
ton. the rest of the carpet is easily
laid.-N. E. Farmer.
Growing Old Gracefully.
Concerning the ability to accept old
age in the best spirit, Marion Howard
asserts that hundreds Of women allow
themselves to grow old and narrow
they kill the youth in their hearts (when
they see the first silyery threads) by
making themselves believe there is moth
ing good to be had out of life now, and
by convincing themselves that every
word of their neighbor, every action,
covers selfish motive. They regard
the beautiful white hair which softens
so many faces, as an Indication of senili-
ty, never OF wisdom.
How will I manage to keep young?
you ask. / will answer that question in
the true Yankee fashion by asking 9TH
ers. Who are the people who grow old
earliest? Those who work, who keep
in touch with the things of the day, who
associate with the young of both sexes,
who know how to enjoy hearty laugh.
and tell a good story, who take care of
their bodily health, who indulge in a
daily nap at noontime, who are engaged
in congenial and elevating pursuits9
Not bit OF it! No woman need fear
that occupation will shorten her life
quite the contrary.
A lack of interest in life, want of
something to do, will age you more
quickly than any toll. The woman who
wishes to grow old gracefully will not
permit herself to become careless in her
attire, and she knows from observation
that an intelligent kindly look in the
face will take away ten years of her life
and make her seem to those who know
and love her twenty years younger.
And tho woman who loves, whose child
reI are dear to her, who has friends who
need her, never falls into that condition
of old age from which we shrink with
horror.
Disease will do its Work, of course,
but, given health, any woman may keep
her heart young while she lives In con-
nection with old age, it may be interest
ing to note what an eminent poet once
said: There are three classes into
which women past 10 are divided: That
dear old lady, that old woman that
old witch IN E. Farmer.

Financial Difficulties of the Snake
Valley Enterprise Adjusted.

Willard County Blade-A Blade rep
sentative met Colonel Holloway on Sat
urday's up train and had few mo-
ments pleasant chat with him. The
colonel was on his return trip to Salt
Lake from Snake valley, and reports
that c. W. Rowland and z. a. Condor,
the recent owners of Snake creek, have
been bought out for handsome sums,
and that no other serious obstacles re-
main in the way Of the contamination
of the reservoir enterprise. MessrS
Rowland and Condor owned the creek,
which was needed for the future city
of Westphal, and, as they had right.
held out for stiff prices. Both gentle
men owned ranches that are unsurpas-
sed in Utah.
Colonel Holloway feels justly elated
over the successful termination Of the
difficulty as to Snake creek, and will
now, with his 1900 revolution per min
ute style Of going at things, make
the reservoir proposition hum. The
gentleman is Texas Republican, ar

It is very evident that the people OF
the United States are fast reaching
that frame of mind which will demand
that the postoffice department be tax
en- out of politics. No official service
of the government comes SO near to
the masses and the sentiment of abso-
lutte separation is gaining ground very
rapidly. This growth is exemplified by
the action of President Cleveland in
serve their full terms. By reason of
this suffrage Salt Lakes postmaster
will hold over until June, 1896, or, at
least, that has been the announcement
made from Washington. Mr.. Nash
was appointed in June, 1892, and his
commission sets cut that his term of
office shall be four years. There are
several other Republican postmasters,
whose politics cut no figure with the
President.
The United States civil service COM
mission has just promulgated impor-
tant amendments to the postal rules,
recently approved by the President.
These rules make considerable change
in the conduct of postoffices, although
Salt Lake is affected less than some
of the larger. Offices where the number
CT appointive positions is greater.
Under the new regulation every post
office and mail service employee, with
very few exceptions, is placed under
the rules of the civil service, and all
SUCH places can only be filled in the
regular way, by civil service eXanina-
lions.
Postmaster Nash has never had more
than one appointment to make, that of
assistant postmaster, and there will be
no change in this direction.
Postal r-11e M N-ias hoan amended
by inserting in lieu of section a section
making the following exceptions from
examination in the classified postal
service: Assistant postmaster, or the
chief assistant to the postmaster, by
whatever designation known; secretary
to the postmaster, when authorized by
law or allowed by the department
cashier, when authorized by law and
employed under that roster title; as
sistant cashier, when authorized; super
intendent of stations or branch postof-
fees at which carriers are employed
printers and pressmen, when author
lied.
Section six is amended so that no per-
son appointed to place under any ex-
ception made by any postal rule shall
be transferred to any other place not
also excepted from examination Rule
is amended so that superintendent OF
mails shall be selected from among the
employees of the railway mail service

probably a little delicate. The latter
now has a case before it, but the in
vestigation has not been very search
ing and it is hardly probable that the
matter will be heard from again, unless
it is in the statement that the COM
plant has been withdrawn.
Insurance circles have been greatly
disturbed during the past month or
two on account of the great prevalence
of the rebating system. Business was
and is still not Oh the heaviest in GER
tain quarters, and insurance agents
have not reaped the golden harvest of
olden times. AS a, matter of fact many
of them have resorted to rebating in
order to gain business. It is this habit
that the union is endeavoring to wipe
out, but the task is no easy one. The
greater number of the members of the
local board of underwriters have been
tarred with the same brush.

The Utah Strengthening company yes

These are the first meats turned out by

the season having just opened, but now
the packing house of the company is in
full operation and about 125 hogs are
being daily slaughtered for the local
market The majority of these porkers

Davis counties, the other counties fur

the chief markets of the territory with

According to President White, of the

farmers of this territory would only
open their eyes and see the great ad-
vantages laid out before them. AT the
present prices being paid for hogs.
