Provisions have gone up in England.

the London Coffee and Eating House

will today purchase no more food in
Lond than Is shillings would a year
age. and adds:
For instance. meat has gone up IS per
cent in price, flour 10 per cent, sugar y:
per cent. tea. 12l2 per cent. eggs Is per
cent, bacon 50 per cent. currants as much
as 220 per cent, raisins so per cent, sul-
tanas 60 per cent butter ~ per cent,
lard Is per cent. and even such access
sories as mustard and vinegar have In
creased in price. The coffee house keep
ers have been obliged to raise Their
prices, for they saw insolvency looming
ahead. Why, even our crockery has
gone up 20 per cent, and as for coal and
gas. everybody knows what a huge in
crease has taken place in the prices of

WEDNESDAY. DEOEMRER u. 1900.
IDAHO AND UTAH SENATORS.

In Idaho the populists have the bal
.ance of power in the Legislature. and so
it is by no means certain that former
Senator Fred r. Dubois will -be elected.
A change OF six votes. it is said. would
be enough to elect Senator Shoup for an
other term.
In Utah there is but one senator to
elect by the next legislative assembly.
AS Judge c. C. Goodwin is entirely COM
petent and eminently deserving of the
honor. he will not be elected and prob
ably not even discussed, for not only is
he head and shoulders above the other
candidates. but he is a poor man finan-
cially. which adds to his Disqualified
tions. The successful candidate Will
doubtless be a man in sympathy With
the dominant church n a member of
it, though for effect there is some taln
OF p. H. Lannan. O.. ]. Salisbury. ex-
Governor Thomas and ex-senator Arthur
Brown. OF these. Salisbury has the best
chance. He is a citizen of excellent
character, a pioneer, capable, wealthy
and popular. He looks every inch a sem
ator. being a venerable and handsome
man. He would be a credit to Utah.
Former Senator Frank ]. Cannon is not
in the race, as he announced himself a
democrat during the early stages of the
late campaign. Had he remained a re
candidate, and would have been assured
OF election.

There is something Fascinating about
the Belgian hare business. as represented
o n paper at least. Judging from the re-
ports sent out. it beats all the get rich
quick" schemes in the world. An owner
of a warren. who is unQuest:onably of
an unseltish nature. tells how a fortune
may be speedily acquired. as follows:
\. doe has an average of six ~litters. or
80 II ones. a year; consequently 100
does would produce 5000 young a year.
AT the age of six months the weight Is
usually eight pounds. Hare meat sells
in Chicago at 20 cents a pound. and the
pelt brings so cents apiece. for use in
making imitation sealskin. So the reve-
nue. from a years product of a hutch of
100 does would be ST.. 900. the flesh bring
ing $3.50 and the pelt so cents, a total OF
$40 for every animal bred. and 5000
times $40 is $4,000.
The only trouble is that people nave
not been educated up to the Belgian hare
rabbit. and still prefer the 10-cent jack
as an article of food to these Belgian
beauties of imperial lineage.

Death Stacks the Cards

The Denve Republican gives the bill
of fare of the Thanksgiving dinner of DR..
ID. K. Pearsonfi a man of 81:
"A cup of hot water, a dish of rice
pudding, one order of celery and two
small slices of breast of turkey. There
was neither cranberry sauce nor nuts,
coffee nor ice cream, and part of the tur-
key was left untasted as that"
-
DR.. Pearson expects to live to 100 on
such diet as that. Some philosophers
might hold that it was not worth while
to prolong life by such monotonous
means. Undoubtedly most of us eat too
much, and the Bryanite objection to the
full Inner pail had hygienic merit which
was not insisted upon. Moderation in
all things is to be commended not merely
for itself, but as a plausible receipt for
reaching old age. Yet the man who sits
down in cold blood to write himself a
receipt for length of days is scarcely
wise.
Doubtless DR.. Pearson would have
lived just as long and been just as
healthy if he had consented to cram
berry sauce and coffee. We read contin-
ually of ce%ntenarians who have taken
whisky and tobacco every day and Of
other ce~ntenarians who never took
either; but we seldom read of a GEN.
tenarian who lived by rule. Old Parr
is reported to have been a free liver and
his feckleSsness is said to have cut him
off with a surfeit at the comparatively
tender age of 152. Who knows that
Thomas might not have made his second
century if he had fed. drank and slept
according to prescription?
-
Mr.. Perky of Massachusetts and many
other ascetic dieters hold that man
shotNl live by vegetables alone, and thus
his lays will be long in the land. The
theory is as good as another and no bet
ter. Too much meat is bad for certain
disorders as everybody knows. There
are great races that seldom or never
eat meat, but is the average longevity
among them greater than among the
meat eaters?
Mr.. Perky and his followers seem to
w forgotten the example of the patri-
archS? Did Enoch eat carrots? Did
Methusaleh thrive on potato salado
These ~delicacies are not for the pastoral
stage.
OFTEN the best constitutions fail early
and the weakes last. There is no such
thing as a fair game with Death; the
cards are stacked. To play the game
with a manly and cheerful mind, not to
depend upon any system seems the
wise mans part. Let us eat and drink
what agrees with us, keep an open and
contented mind, taste discreetly all hon
orable pleasures. and go full of curiosity
and delight through so much or little
of this marvellous life as it shall please
heaven to send us. We shall not reach
fullness of years by taking thought for
it.-New York Sun.

West Point has it's own code. of course.
Two things that the cadets will not tol-
crate are lying and cowardice. No one
will OBJECT to that either. But it seems
that the treatment of Cadet Booze was
IN itself about as cowardly a thing as
can be imagined. The ony excuse
offered for his treatment, which resulted
in the death of the cadet, was that he
refused to go into the West Point prize
ring with the bully of the Institution and
get a beating. The West Point authori-
ties take the matter very cody. and
their defenders say that their business
is to educate people to be killed. That
may be true, too, but in the popular
mind, at least, the killing is supposed to
take place outside of the academy.

THE BALANCE OF TRADE.

In his annual report, Secretary Gage,
referring to the balance of trade, says:
The fact that the exports of merchant
disc constantly exceed the imports of
merchandise and specie by several hun
dled millions of dollars annually has
suggested an inquiry as to the method
by which this vast trade balance in IA
vor of the United States is settled.
While a share of this is doubtless ac-
counted for by freights, interest. and
expenditures of Americans abroad, it is
equally apparent that a considerable
share must be represented by American
securities returned to the United States,
and that to this extent we are as a ma
ton reducing oSr foreign indebtedness.
Just what the apparent balance of
trade in favor Of the United States is is
shown by the statement that our ex-
ports for the rear exceeded the imports
~ uore than $500. 900, 900. but from this

The weird fabrication at the head of
setting forth that the circulation of that
paper is larger than that of all other
paper in the state combined. probably
accounts for the report current in Ana
conda that the Standard building is
haunted, and that every night in the
press room when the lights are turned
out. a white-robed figure may be seen
sitting on the press shaking it's fists as
if in angry e~xpostulation, and working
it's jaws vigorously, though no SOUND
proceeds therefrom. 1t is probably the
ghost of Ananias. a
