How to Kill Them.

Although every hcusekeeper may not
he "A member of IL band of mercy or hu-
name society, she can help on the good
work if she will practice some of the
society's rules. For example, let her
bear in mind that crabs to be properly
killed should before boiling be thrust
through the mouth and body with a
sharp steel at one blow.
When a lobster is required, insert a
narrow bladed knife into the third joint
OF the tail, severing the spinal cord.
This will cause instant death and is
much less cruel than to put it into the
water alive, especially if it is not boil
ing, as the lobster then suffers a slow,
lingering death.
Terrapin also should be mercifully
killed before being cooked.
The eel tribe is said TO be terrible
sufferer from mans inhumanity to fish.
So difficult is it apparently to kill cells
that people have even ceased to try to
kill them mt all. If their heads We're cut
off before they We're otherwise handled,
they would at once be out of misery

Heaf of the Earth

1t is well known that Il great deal of
effort has been put forth in all parts of
the world where mining is carried on
to a great depth. to determine as a sat
isfactory average the increase of the
earth temperature with depth. a few
years ago it was commonly assumed to
be l degree for each 80 feet in depth,
but more recently deeper workings I'M
der other conditions have led to the be-
lief that it Is something over goo feet
for each degree of increased tempera-
ture. 1t is admitted, however, that the
depth to which mining has thus far
been-carried is SO shallow as compared
with the great distance to the center of
the earth that it Is. really not known
what the average increase of tempera
ture with depth is. Observations made
at the various places have been where
the surrounding conditions were so diff
ferent that the tests were not satisfac-
tory, as, for example. those made in
the Lake Superior and Nevada regions.

Occupations Affect Faces.

"a man 5 occupation or condition
has more to do with making his face
than most people think" observed a
gentleman who is somewhat a judge of
character. intellectual pursuits, like
the studies of the scholarly profession,
when coupled with temperate and good
moral habits of life brighten the face
and give the person q refined and su
perior look. Magnanimity of nature or
the love of study and art will make
bright, glad face, but contrary to this
a man may have a face that does not
please anybody because of love of self
to the exclusion of others, notwith
standing his learning and worldly
shrewdness. Soldiers get hard, severe
look; reporters look inquisitive; mathe-
maticians look studiOus; judges look
grave, even when off the bench; the
man who has had domestic trouble looks
all broken up.
IAN example of the ludicrous side of
this subject is to see third class law
yer stalking around police court look
ing as wise as an owl. The business
makes the face, l say. There's the mer-
chants face, the ministerial face, the
lawyers face the doctors face, the
hoodlum's face. all SO distinct each
from the other and singly that l seldom
fail 10 recognize those callings shining
through the faces. And what city bred
boy cannot recognize genuine farmer

Bishop Huntington once went down
to a town in Connecticut to perform Z

he WAS aware that lac was creating Il

How lie wanted to Fay.

Some years ago an afrray among
miners in the west resulted in murder,
and Senator ThurSton. believing the &C

"Yes.''
"Be you the man that defended Jack
Bailey at court?"

CouIdn., Keep Him Out.

''The brightest reporter l ever
knew" said a newspaper man, twas
Billy Gaylor. who died at Hot Springs
in 1895. He was a most persistent fell
low after an item, and that reminds me
of little story. about the last incident
of his career. He had been assigned by
a certain Chicago daily to interview an
eminent bishop about a schism in the
church. The bishop didn't want TO talk
and wouldn't see him, but Gaylor
bribed a servant to let him into the hall
and waylaid the dignitary as he was
coming through. He was ordered out
for his pains, but next day he pene
trated the house again on some preteXt
or other and was again fired.
He repeated the exploit three or
four times with similar results, and at
last the bishop coming home late at
night, found Billy sitting in his study
reading the Bible. Nobody could ex-
plain how he got in, but the prelate
wilted and told him what he wanted to
know on condition that he would go
away and stay away.
Shortly after poor Gaylor got gal

have been accompanied by President

Hoge, but other business prevented
their going down until last evening
The visit of the Short Line officials to

that active work on the extension of
the Utah & Pacific to Los Angeles is
being seriously considered. There is no
immediate prospect of that, however.
as there are some Legislative difficulties
to be encountered in Nevada that at
present appear inimicable to railroad
construction in that part Of the state
that the Utah & Pacific would operate
in if the projected route were adhered
to. Further developments following the

the Short Line and Utah & Pacific are
expected.

Unless He Is More Diligent In the

City Sealer of Weights and Measures
Peck on the carpet for twenty minutes
last night. Mr.. Peck asserted that he
had tried to attend to his duties, but
found it impossible to catch and test
the weights of all the peddlers who are
operating daily within the city limits.
He said his office was worth only $40
per month. anyway.
Robertson charged the official with
neglecting his duty, and the general
sentiment of the committee was that
Mr.. Peck was not altogether blameless.
Siddoway, on behalf of the other men,
bers. informed the sealer that unless
he was more vigilant in future the COM
mittee would be compelled to return a

SUGAR INDUSTRY PROSPEROUS
MANAGER CUTLER RETURNS
FROM THE EAST.
Bought Machinery For the Spring.
vile Plant-Growth of the In
dustry In the East.

Manager Thomas r. Cutler has re-
turned from his business trip east,
where he went to contract for machin-
cry TO be used in the auxiliary factory
of the Utah sugar factory. now in
course of erection at Springville. He
expects the machinery TO be delivered
and put in working order by Oct Is.
Advices from Utah county to Mr..
Cutler are to the effect that the beet
crop is in most satisfactory condition.
Digging will commence at once. and
the Lehi factory will be started up for
the season in about another week.
Advancing prices on iron Mr.. Cutler
found to be the rule in the east. and
all factories are running at full capa-
city. and orders for beet sugar making
machinery are greatly delayed. In
Michigan alone nine sugar factories are
building. Nebraska, Illinois and Wash
ington will builC. one each this fall and
California. will have three more. Mr..
Cutler regards the beet sugar industry
in Utah particularly encouraging.
The strife between the sugar trust
and Arbuckle, Manager Cutler reports
to be at fever heat in the east, but on
account of transportation questions
and the limited market out in this part
of the west. he predicts no material
change in local prices.

Union Pacific Officials In Conference
ct Omaha.
IMPORTANT TO SALT LAKE
SHORT LINE SYSTEM MAY BE
GREATLY EXTENDED.
Proposed to Consolidate the Short
Line and o. r. & n. and Operate
the Whole System From Salt Lake
Union Pacific to Be Operated
From Omaha.

Omaha, Aug. 31.-President Burt and
several other leading officials of the
Union Pacific are holding an executive
conference here to agree upon a plan
of consolidating the system by closer
alliance with the Oregon Short Line.
One view is that the Vanderbilt inter-
ests propose that the Union Pacific be
operated as at present, but that the
Short Line become part of the Union
Pacific, to be operated from Salt Lake
City, as now, and that after this has
been done. the Short Line will gradu-
ally take possession of the Oregon
Railway & Navigation line and operate
that portion of the system from
Salt Lake City. This is made
possible by the Short Line controlling
the majority of the Navigation stock.
1t is over 1880 miles from Omaha to
Portland, Ore, which is said to be too
long distance for one line to be sue
cessfully operated.
Others reasons why the consolidation
is considered certain are: Judge San
born has discharged the successory re-
ceivers of the Short Line-Oliver w.
Mink and Thomas P. Wilson. The sale
of the Northern Pacific's holdings of
Navigation company preferred stock TO
syndicate Of Union Pacific interests
is officially confirmed at New York;
Mellen. Lamont and Carr offered to re-
sign, but were asked to remain in
charge until the next annual meeting.
