Selfish EdwnrdI III.

King Edward III of England was a
great epicure, but a selfish one. While
he gorged himself with a multitude Of
courses and dishes, he forbade his
servants eating meat or fish more than
once a day and ordained by law that
none of his subjects should have at
dinner or supper more than two courses
nor above three dishes for each course.

NOISE Of GREAT CITIES,

What appears 10 be an interesting
experiment is being made in Chicago,
in the form Of a crusade against
the variety OF noises with
which that city, as all other large cities,
is tormented day and night. II Chicago
can be reduced to comparative quietude.
there should be hope for every other
city. The movement which, by the way,
has found staunch champion in the
chief OF police, is the subject OF much
ridicule but Il seems TO us st deserves
serious attention There can be no
doubt that noise Is q constant wear
and tear on the nervous system, nor
that the death lists thereby are very
much heightened.
Civilization has brought In It's trail
the shreking Of whistles, the changing
OF bells. the clatter on pavements Of
heavy wagons, and numerous other
evidences Of life and business.
That they can be entirely abolished
is. OF course, out Of the question. But
can they be restricted. or modified? II
50, how?
Il cannot be denied that human be-
lngs, in the midst Of civilization. are
subjected to much abuse through the
organs that convey sound to the brain.
There are more protection for the
other organs OF perception than for the
ear.
objects that give out an abomnable
odor are carted away; the eye is pro-
tected against too offensive sights. and
Il the organ OF feeling IL sInned against.
recourse can be had TO the courts. But
the organ Of hearing Is left without
protection, In street cars, IN public
places everywhere, abomlnable noises
can be made. and there is no way TO
protect oneself against them. The vic
Tins are helpless, end yet, why should
u not be as gentlemanly, as permissible.
80 offend the ,ye a. IRE -sostSls- ss'our

THE DAY OF DECORATION.

The very general Observance Of
Memorial Day, or Decoration Day as u
~ commonly called. Is most crafty
ing and indicative Of public sentiment
in Utah The beautiful custom, which
has become national observance
recognized by law. Of devotlng one day
IN every year 10 the decoration OF the
graves Of departed heroes, serves TO
klndle the fire Of patriotism. and keep
alive the memory Of the departed who
gave their lives for their countrys
welfare.
The active part taken in this annual
celebration by the Grand Army Of the
Republic Is creditable TO that orsanlza-
tlon and 70 its leading spirits IL due

ing sabdued into quiet ardor for home
and native land and reverence for the
valiant dead. The memorial OF flowers
IS q fitting token Of the feelings Of a
grateful people. and the perfume Of the
blossoms a suitable Incense around the
tombs Of the brave
The broadening Of the ceremonies 70

but the loved ones OF all rauke and ages
mourned by living relatives, does not
detract from the special honors to the
gallant dead. It serves to emphasize
and popularize the observance. i also
perpetuates the ties Of kindred. between
the departed who have gone before and
those who are 10 follow them, and Il Is
well that Decoration Day should be e
public holiday.
Utah Is not behind the rest Of the
Union, either IN respect for the heroes
OF the battlefield or regard for their
own who are missed from the family

least once a year with floral offerings,

A DOUBTFUL ExpEDIENr.

There is a widespread impression
that the duties deyolylng upon the
sanitary inspector and provision In
spector OF this city are hardly sufficient
70 keep a couple OF officials busy an

taken by the city fathers on Tuesday
night abollshing those offices, appears,
at first sight, TO be in the interest Of
the taxpayers.
But from the discussion OF the subject
IN the Council and for other reasons, Il
Is thought chat the intention IS not
really to abolish" those offices. but 10
place them In the hands Of the health
commissioner, or city physician, who,
before long viii need additional help,
