HOLIDAY ExTRAVAeANcE.

In a week the Christmas shopping
will be over. 1t is custom as old as
Yuletide, and as beautiful as the story
Of the first Christmas gift received by
the children of men.
An occasional objection to the ex
travaganee of the season will be heard,
but what would be a fault under other
circumstances is chastened by the i'm
pulses and influences of the occasion.
The miseries of postponed bills are out
weighed by the joys of those for whom
the bills are neglected; and the errors
OF extravaganza are upon the side of
charity. 5'lssFE
Generosity is carried to its limit by
tender feelings. There is always an i'm
pulse to spend more than prudence
would set apart for such a purpose
throughout the holidays. Many stock
ing is emptied that another may be
filed. Many a bill collector is sent away
and told to wait a little longer. For
it is a time of poetic sentiment, not
prosy settlement. Many slender ins
come is stretched to the breaking point.
Many a necessity is sacrificed for the
pleasure of the young.
And resolutions are made, after full
supply of presents has been laid in, and
the little horde, saved up for weeks and
months, is carefully recounted and laid
away. to buy no more. But how these
resolutions are shaken when one gets
among the stores or sees some tie
one that in the hurry of the shopping
season has been overlooked.
The hand gropes unconsciously for the
purse while the eyes are feasting; there
is a tug at the purse-strings, and the
residue and the resolution are broken
together. Not because the gaZer covets
the article Of art or utility, not that he
expects to read the book, or wear the
jewel, or play with the waxen doll, but
because there is some one else in mind
whose happiness it will enhance.
There is no appeal to selishness in
such temptations; it is altruistic; it is
this awakening that makes of the
Christmas holidays an ideal season. 1t
is such a contrast to the rest of the
modern year.
It may be extravaganza viewed from
any other month of the twelve It may
be extravaganza from the standpoint
of sordid selfishness. 1t may be ex-
trayagance as expenditures are die
tated by vanity. But in the main it is
an extravaganza that opens up the win
dows OF the soul and lets the bad air
Of parsimony out and the sweet air of
heaven in.
The c1,rsa of avalice and seIfsbneee
is upon the world. It is only in holiday
times that humanity approaches Chris
tianity.

LOCAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY.

Business is improving in Utah in
spite of general conditions, which are
unfavorable to the country at large.
This improvement is due to the enter
prise and the determination of Utah
people to pull together for the advance
nent Of the state and its interests.
The result Of this independent effort
is seen on every hand. 1t is noticeable
in almost every branch of industry. In
mining circles there is a wonderful re-
vival, and, from developments and dis
coveries being made in the various
properties, the activity will increase
rather than diminish until the enliven-
ing influence is ie3t from one end of the
state to the other.
one evidence of this local business
revival is the recent purchase of val
uable Main street property by Mr.
THOMAS Kearns of Park City: not on
account of the deal alone, but because it
means extensive improvements, the
erection of large business block in the
heart of Salt Lake City, the employ
ment of labor in its construction, and
the placing of thousands of dollars in
circulation among the laboring classes.
It is business enterprise and push
that the people appreciate more than
anything else at present, and the men
VINO are bringing the state to the front
are entitled to credit and encourage
rnent.

OPPORTUNITIES OF WOMEN.

The encroachment of women in the
vocations once monopolized by men is
theme labor organizations are begin
ming to discuss, on account OF the num-
Der of men crowded out, and the reduc-
ton Of wages which follows.
The number of women in business is
constantly increasing. Massachusetts
has compiled statistics, showing the i'm
portance of women as a factor in the
business affairs Of that state.
The increase in ten years is an in
teresting study of itself. In 1885 there
We're 26,521 male partners in the private
firms in the state and 1760 female part
ners. But in 1895 the male partners
had increased to 27,e5S while the fe-
male partners had increased to 1888.
In ten years the male partners increas-
ed only Az per cent, but the female
partners increased 47.61 per cent.
They are coming to the front as
stockholders in corporations, as well.
In 1895 there was one female stock
holder to every three male stockholders
in the state Of Massachusetts alone.
The year 1885 saw 30 1873 male stock
holders in the corporations Of the state
and Il, 572 female stockholders. By 1895
the number Of the former had grown to
81, 231 and of the latter to 1859. The
percentage of increase of male stock
holders was 11.SS per cent, while the
increase. of female stockholders was
500. per cent. Taking partners and
stockholders together. the males in
creased from 57,254 in 1885 to 61,SS4 in
1895, or 500 per cent, and the females
increased from 1892 in 1885 to 1896 in
1895, or 1917 per cent. And, at the
same rate, the number has increased
since that time until it must be in the
neighborhood Of 5000 today.
Government reports Just filed show
that women are crowding men out of
tn school-room, too. The number of
teachers employed in the public schools
of the United States in 1871 was 220,-
225, in 1897 4lS.S4S. The increase in the
number OF women teachers has been
more rapid than those of men. In 1871

building of reservoirs, or danger in the
destruction of forests at the headwaters
of the Missouri.
From experience with the great flood
of 1897 the committee has formed an
opinion that a complete enclosure of all
the river basins will require from three
TO four-foot high levees in Louisiana,
and from four to six feet on the Yazoo
levees.
No substantial relief is possible
through the medium of outlets or over
flow eonduits. says the committee,
wherefore levee construction on a large
scale is recommended. A complete levee
system would require about five years
in the building and involve an outlay
Of something like S20, 0O0, 900.
Immediate steps should be taken to
afford the people of this rich section
the needed relief. A war against these
overfiows in the defense Of our own
people would be certainly in the inter-
est of humanity. Thousands of home
seekers, home-makers. Taxpayers
land-cultivators, and fellow citizens
were driven from their homes in 1887,
drowned or scattered as refugees, bro
ken, discouraged. bankrupt. 1t so hap
pens every few years, and when it
comes it is worse than a pestilence, and
the ruin that it wreaks is greater than
an army of invasion could cause.
These people are entitled to relief;
immediate, substantial relief. They are
entitled to as much consideration as are
the afflicted anywhere. There are super
stitious people who may say that provi-
dence sends the snow and the rain
causes the overflow and the misery, in
fiicts it as a punishment with which
science and industry should not inter
fere. But in the old days they regarded
a plague in the same light. knowledge
and skill combined their forces and
checked the ravages of disease, when
it dawned upon the people gradually
that their own ignorance, 1aziness and
lack of precaution brought them af1lic-
tons no power sent.
Prevention was what they needed; it
is what the, people of the Mississippi
bottoms need now. If a levee system
is the only way to protect them from
the floods, congress should vote the
necessary relief at once.

Mr.. BRYAN's GENEROSITY.

Colonel William ]. Bryan is 4 man
of generous impulses, as well as of
tact and great ability. He is opposed
to Philippine annexation, but counsels
the ratification of the peace treaty, SO
as not to embarrass the administra-
ton. When other officers of the volun-
teer army were making complaints and
charges against the war department,
quarreling with the secretary and
among themselves, he was discreet and
silent.
When the president asked almost I'M
limited power at the opening of hostiN-
ties, the Democrats were doubtful, be-
cause the policy Of the administration
seemed to be at variance with the SEN
timent of the American people. But
Bryan advised that nothing be done to
interfere with the presidents plans.
He still shows the same commend
able spirit, the same high consideration
for the feelings of the chief executive.
The other day he was invited to the
banquet that will be given in honor of
the president tomorrow night. and was
Volunteer Soldier"
The invitation provoked a fight in the
committee. Some thought it was bad
taste to parade Mr. Bryan in the pres
ence of Mr.. Mckinley. Others We're
afraid he would receive a greater ova-
ton than the president, and they feared
it would mar the pleasure of that dis
that the president had a right to say
who should attend and take part on
the programme peculiar prerogative
for a guest-and they felt sure that if
his excellency We're consulted, Colonel
Bryan would not be tolerated. Such
seems to be the im9ression those who
know him best entertain of the nresi-
dent of this republic.
But Clark Howell, editor of the Con-
stitution, stuck to it until he carried
his point. Colonel Bryan, however, re-
lieved the committee from all anxiety
by sending his regrets, and went direct
from Savannah to Washington, as soon
as his resignation was accepted.
General Joe Wheeler the hero of
Santiago, a survivor of the confederate
army, a soldier. a patriot, an Ameri-
can, broader than any section, greater
than any Office, did attend, and he re-
ceived an ovation beside which the
demonstration accorded the president
paled. 1t was well enough that Bryan
remained away. The American people,
Of whatever section, applaud worth and
manhood in preference to position.
The rank is but the guinea stamp,
The mans the gowd for a that.

TO MAKE IN THE CHAFING DISH.
How to Prepare Vanilla and Choco-
late Caramels.
Harpers' Baza-


Now that cold weather. with its
candy making possibilities, is once
more upon us, the owner of a chafing
dish may add a convivial feature to
many an evening spent in her house,
if she will bring forth her chatting dish
and in it compound some delicious
homemade candy. The chatting dish
will prove the center of attraction and
interest. and viii supply the often
sought-for something to do" on win
ter's evening.
Very delicious and easy to prepare in
a chafing dish is a certain brew of
vanilla caramels. Put into the blazer
two cupfuls of sugar, cup of cream
and two generous tablespoonfuls of
butter. Stir constantly to prevent
scorching, until little of the boiling
liquid will turn to a firm paste if
dropped in iced water. Remove from
the fire, stir in two teasponnfuls OF va
nilla extract and beat hard for several
minutes before turning the mixture
into buttered pans to cool. Mark off in
squares. These are relished by people
who like graduated or sugared cara
mels.
Chocolate caramels with nuts may be
| prepared by cooking together in the
blazer a pound Of brown sugar quar-
ter of a pound of grated chocolate and
half a cup of water. When the candy
hardens in water, stir into 1t one table
spoonful of butter and a cup of chopped
walnuts or hickorynuts. Beat hard and
remove from the fire. Turn into pans
and cut into squares.

Whisky in wOman,s Temple.

The national officers of the W. C. T.

for fifteen minutes one cold day last
week. They were all shocked-dread-
tully shocked-and they agreed on it.
One of the elevator men in the Temple
, building got tipsy Liquor found its
way into the sacred precincts Of the
edifice. There was no getting around
that fact, because the elevator man
and his strange, wild ways were as
good proof as a champagne cork or an
empty beer bottle. Mrs. Helen NJ Bar

preacher before she took charge of the

about O'clock. Her favorite elevator
man took her breath away by remark

Mrs. Barker did not deign to reply,
but she says it seemed as if she were
walking along Clark street, in front of

PROBLEM OF THE FLOODS.

Congress has been trying to devise
WAYS and means to prevent the floods
which sweep the homes from the Mis-
sissippi river bottoms now and then,
and render the richest farming land in
the world, perhaps, a dangerous soil to
settle on
Every few years the giant river
bursts its earthen bonds and roams at
will over millions Of acres Of farms and
gardens, devouring stock and crops,
and leaving death and desolation in its
wake.
The subcommittee sent on a tour Of
investigation last year by the senate
committee on commerce, reported to the
senate last week. It gives a compre-
bensive history and description Of the
Ievees and jetties along the Mississippi,
but sees no relief in the suggested
