A MORMON PUZZLE.
The System of Naming Streets In Salt Lake
City Is Confusing.

Inc System OI Naming IN hsdhe
City Is Confusing.
In Salt Lake City they name streets
as nowhere else on earth. For general
confusion to newcomer no other sys-
tenn equals it. In the long run it has its
advantages, for it not only guides you
but it sharpens your hearing and encour-
ages mental concentration. The street
system of Salt Lake originates at Tenn
pie square, wherein stand the taber-
nacle, the general assembly hall and the
temple which was SO years in building.
A wall 10 or IL feet high incloses the
square. The streets passing it were
named East Temple, South Temple,
West Temple and North Temple respec-
lively.
East Temple street is the principal
business thoroughfare of tho city, and
its name has been charged to Main
street The first street south Of and par
allel to South Temple street is named
First South street East of Main street
it is East First South street; west of
Main street it is West First South street.
The numbering of the houses begius ut
Main street and runs each way, every
house number having an Il or w ap-
pended, as 320E Proceeding south each
street that crosses Main is numbered in
rotation Second South, Third South,
and so on, all being further divided into
East and West The same plan is fol-
lowed north, east and west of the tenn
pie, and at a certain crossing the streets
running north and south are divided for
numbering. and each wing is given its
prefix of North or South When you
start out to find number on East Fifth
South street. the same number on South
Fifth East won't do at all. and If you
are trying to find your way from re
mote place on North Twelfth West
street to an indefinite number on East
Sixth South, between South Eighth East
and South Ninth East. you would do
we'll to start before dark and keep per-
foctly sober Boxing the compass is

How much truck. for instance. most
houses contain of relics of trips, shabby
bric-a- brac, and so on, which has to be

as our houses of things as useless and

Yet never rose brief summer knows

And when vile winter willis the leaf
And the pink petals come to GRIEF,
Stay, love. and shame the rose.
My love hath bosom like the snow,
Less cold and doubly fair.
But when earth's wintry fleece must 20,
When spring breathes In the air
And flowers spring to bless the sight,
Love rules the heart with added might.
Stay, love, and shame the snow.
Ny loves dark eye shines like star
When the rude day has fled.
Aye, fairer far, thy avatar
Brings blessings on my head.

To shrink from rivaling thy eyes,

Except for the fact that Mr.. Munger
has many hundreds of acres of land
to irrigate, so large a construction would
not be advisable, but the plan of this
reservoir and the methods pursued in
it's construction may well be taken as
models by those whose requirements de-
mand reservoirs of only moderate size.
Water may be drawn through flume for
the irrigation of considerable areas Of
Mr.. Munger's farm which lie at a lower
level than that of the water in the res-
ervoir, but for most of the farm 1t is
necessary to raise water. This is done
by two compound, duplex, direct-acting
steam pumps Of daily capacity Of
100000 gallons, which forward the wa,

The English ROthschilds.

The greatest financial genius Of the
ROthschild family, though there have
been many Of great talent, was Nathan
Mayer, Of the second generation, who
established the house of N. M. ROths-
child & Co., in 1898, In London. He
few to the stars and groyelled in the
mud for money. He welcomed all
transactions, big or little, wherewith
to turn the bankers penny. He was
the most daring speculatOr Of his time
on the Stock Exchange, and the most
successful. He had carrier pigeons and
fast-sailing boats to bring him the
earliest news from the war centers of
Europe, and so help him to manipulate
stocks. He followed Welington's army
to Waterloo in person, and had relays
Of the swlftest horses, and a fast yacht
lying in the harbor at 0stend. SO he
arrived at the London Stock Exchange,
after the battle, twelve hours ahead Of
any public announcement Of the VIC
tory, and made $4,000, 900 by one Of the
most tremendous series of speculatiOns
In history. In 1910, when the Duke Of
Wellington, then commanding in
Spain, drew on the English govern
ment for G3,0O0,000, and the English
treasury was short, Nathan bought the
drafts at big discount and at once
sent the money. The stories about this
remarkable man are almost endless,
and show how strangely he was alike
equal to the most tremendous schemes
and the pettiest tricks of avarice.

cents per bushel more at our roller mills

81 see the same was the case with
those who made judicious selection Of
seed. It can be plainly seen that this
little difference will soon amount to
enough to buy our good wife a sewing
machine, who perhaps has been doing
without for long time on account Of
such scrub" selections. Do not buy
wheat for seed because 1t is cheap or
because 1t Is Of your own raising, unless
It is the best; and do not be satisfied
until you get the best. Clean 1t Of cheat
and cookie, and do not blame your wheat
dealer next season because you did not
get as good price as your neighbOr
just across the lane. There are a great
many more things to be considered in
getting good price and good yield"
The advocate., 1897-09-08

Plenty of air, as well as an album
dance of moisture, is Indispensable to
the best action Of the roots of culti-
waited crops, and in close soils the pos
sibility of placing the surface feeders
lower down has tendency to give
them a better supply of moisture.
Then the same conditions which enable
the roots to expand further below the
surface will allow the nitrifying germs
to develop there, where they may bet
ter prepare the nitric acid needed by
the higher plants. 1t should be under
stood, however, that this lower devel-
Opment of root and miCrobe life Is not
so much because the soil is mellow and
easy to enter as it is because there is
an abundance of soil ventilation.

street yesterday afternoon were startled
by a sudden shock. The glass in one or
two of the windows of the car was shat

his first thought on feeling the shock was
that telephone pole had fallen across the
car. He jumped UP and looked out OF
the window, and then saw that the car
had run into a horse. The animal was
struck on the head by the corner of the
car and knocked down. The horse was
hitched to transfer wagon, and was be-
ing driven from Railroad into Yves,
Broad street. The driver said the motor
man did not ring his gong, but the motor
man said he did. The car was not goine
very rapidly at the time, but the blow
was strong enough to knock the horse
out for about ten minutes. When he nm
ally got up the blood was streaming from
his nose. The names of the passen gers
were taken, and they may be called upoh
to serve as witnesses in case the blow
causes the death of the horse and tn.
matter gets into court.

COUNTING ON A MILLION BALES
savannah's Cotton Receipts Close to
the Record of 1890.

Everything points to the probability Of
the receipt of a million bales of cotton at
this port during the season of 1S97-'98. AL
though it is generally conceded that the
total crop will not reach the estimates of
those who have depressed the market, in
spite of the statistical position, the re-
ceipts at this port have been heavier than
was expected early in the season.
The yellow fever has, no doubt, contrib
uted to the increased receipts at Savan-
nah. The total receipts at Savannah in
1880, up to Oct. IS, were 29S,3sl bales, which
We're the largest on record, for the time,
while the total receipts for the season of
1s90-'91 were 1885 bales, the largest of
any season in the history of the port. The
receipts so far this season closely ap-
proach those of the banner year, being
2S4 ,7S0 bales or only 1861 bales less than
during the same period in 1890
The efforts which are being made to
bring cotton to Savannah are meeting
with success, and the increased percentage
of the receipts is greater than at any of
the Atlantic and Gulf ports There is SUI
ficient tonnage in port, and to arrive, to
handle the increased movement, and if the
receipts continue in the same proportion
as during the last month and half, there
appears but little doubt that Savannah
will receive a million bales during the
season, and perhaps exceed the receipts
of 1S90-'91.
