One-Legged Trouser..

There is an enterprising Liverpool tailor
who has never been known to acknowledge
that he didn't have anything a possible
customer might ask for. says London Tit
Bits.
One day a customer entered the shor
and asked il he had any trousers made es-
pecially for one-legged men.
Certainly replied the merchant
What kind do you want?"
Dress trousers" said the man. "The
best you've got"
Hurrying into the rear of the store, the
enterprising merchant snatched up pair
of trousers and shipped off the right leg
with a pair of scissors. Hastily turning
under the edges, he presented them to the
customer.

A month later the merchant was pro-
nounced conyaIescent and on the high road
to recovery.

The President has just settled a very i'm
portant question Of social etiquette; and
social etiquette in Washington is regarded
as being second in importance to nothing
under the sun. The question involved was
whether Admiral Dewey or Gen. Miles
should have precedence in social func=
tons. The President has ruled that mas
much as Admiral Dewey ranks Gen. Miles,
he shall come first Notwithstanding the
army, being Older than the navy, takes
precedence where ranks are equal. Dewey
rank equals thar of a full general of the
army, while the rank of Miles is only that
of rear admiral Of the navy. Miles would
come ahead of either Schiey or Sampson.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. DECEMBER 5. 1884,

The weather is an important factor In
the South African campaign, as it is in
our campaign In the Philippines. In the
former country it IS now nearly midsum-
mer, with intense heat and frequent heavy
rains. Gen. Methuen's fight at the Mod
der river was conducted under a burn
ing SUM-" and at the time the river was
much swollen in food. on another oc-
casion, mentioned in the dispatches a few
days ago, a fight was broken up by the
sudden bursting Of a severe thunderstorm.
The warmest weather in South Africa
comes in January when the thermometer
climbs up about or beyond the 1C0-degree
notch, hence 1t can be understood that
the troops in the field have the most I'M
comfortable and enervadng part of the
campaign ahead Of them.

feel considerably encouraged, as in the
years of 1896 and 1897 the expenses ex-
ceeded the revenues some $1,000, but
in 1898 the receipts and disbursements
were equal.
The increased receipts are derived
principally from the increased value of
sheep and cattle and the opening up of
producing mines at Gold Mountain
and Marysvale.
This season has witnessed the COM
pletion of the Otter creek reservoir,
at the head of Kingston canyon, at a
cost of about 100000, and while it was

ties, many Piuters living along the
course of the streams from the reser-
voirs to Sewer county are interested

with general satisfaction TO all.

COLD WEATHER A TONIC.
It Brings With It Renewed Sense of
Strength and Vitality.
q. Louis Globe-Democrat.)

Many persons regard the winter sea-
son as an unfortunate visitation. 1t is
considered both uncomfortable to the
body and harmful to health. This is an
error. Cold is a most potent agent for
the restoration and preservation of nor
NAL activity on the part of the organs
of the human body. 1t is a wise plan
of Providence which gives US a change
of seasons. The winter cold comes as
a tonic to repair the injuries done by
the enervating heat of summer. Sum-
mer, it is true, has many wise uses in
the matter of health. 1t induces out
door life, rids the system of poisons
through copiouS perspiration and
through the scorching rays of the sun
destroys germ life
Winter is the great bracer of the sys-
tenn. 1t stimulates activity in every or
gan. When cold attacks the surface of
the body the blood is set into more free
circulation as a means of bodily
warmth. 1t is through the circulation
of the blood that the human anatomy
is kept in a state of repair. When the
food has been digested and converted
into liquid form it is taken up by the
blood and carried the rounds of the
system for the purpose of repairing the
waste places. When the cold causes in
more perfect nutrition. Through in
creased demand for nutrient matter,
which quickened circulation causes,
there is improved digestion. The entire
repair machinery is stimulated to re-
newed industry.
Wintry air, as is well known, brings
with it a sense of renewed strength and
vitality. The restorative power of cold
is we'll Illustrated in the case of the
dash of cold water in the face of a
fainting person. When person is in
faint there is practical suspension of
life for the time, yet an application of
cold water to the face promptly re-
stores circulation and renewS life. This
same fact is illustrated by the cold
face bath on rising from bed in the
morning. The Indians. who, if not now,
in former days roamed our western
borders practically without clothing 20
shelter their bodies, became, through
long exposure. so Injured TO the cold
that it gave them but little discomfort.
Mans face and hands illustrate how
weatherproof the body becomes when
exposed to the air. Continued activity
in circulation on the surface, caused by
skin, tends to nourish and thicken tho
skin. Thus mans skin grows thicker
in winter Just as animals are supplied
with a double coat of fur to resist the
cold. When springtime returns mans
! skin becomes thin and the animal sheds
its top coat of fur. The savages who
dwell bareheaded in the open air are
seldom, if ever, known to be afflicted
with bald heads, while. with the civil
ian who shields his scalp from the air,
badness is prevalent A sure preven-
tive of dfphtheria, Group or similar
maladies among children. is to bring
about such vigorous circulation and vi
tally, through means of cold baths, as
will render children immune from the
attacks of the germs which cause these
diseases.

GREAT YEAR FOR PIUTE.
Mining Development, Railroad Building and Advancement
Along Other Lines

Piute county is situated about 175
miles south of Salt Lake City, and the
Salt Lake meridian forms its eastern
boundary line. In area and population
Piute is among the smallest in the
state, having an area of about 800
square miles and only 5000 inhabitants.
The assessed valuation of the prop
erty in Piute county is under $500, 900,
yet there is every evidence that there
will be funds in the treasury after all
it's obligations for the year are set
tied. This is such an improvement
