UTAH'S SALT INDUSTRY.

\ TANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN laboring
M under the impression that Utah produces most
Iva of the salt of the earth surprised to find
in recently published statistics that this stale IS seventh
in the list of the Unions salt producers The census
REPORTS show that while the production OF salt IN
bushels decreased more than go per cent in 1899 as com
pared with $780, the value of the product was only
little less.
This is because the process of refining salt has
reached such stage that Is possible TO decrease the
raw production and at the time increase the rev
enue In 1890 the total production OF salt insUtah was
132 143 bushels valued at S144.300 In 1899, just
us 355 bushels produced, bat the product was
worth S1394S8 1t will be seen, therefore, that the
falling off in production far exceeded the decrease IN
value.
Few Of us ever stop to think how great part salt
plays in our domestic economy. 1t enters into the
composition of everything that goes the table in
large or small degree There Is salt IN the butter salt
In the cake salt in the bread salt in the pie crust.
There is an enthusiastically small amount of salt IN
the water we drink and therefore in everything IN which
water is used.
Physicians say salt is almost as necessary to the
human system as air. It might be possible to get along
without It. but no test covering any considerable period
has ever been made. From time beyond the memory
of man salt has been used by the peoples of the earth
I'm describing to the children of Israel what offerings
would be most acceptable to the Lord, Moses warned
them particularly to offer salt
with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt said
he Later in the New Testament, the people are adj
vised to "have salt in yourselves The latter inlunc-
ton Is fguratve of course. BY it is meant goodness
and purity and all the virtues, but it may be taken lit
orally also Indeed, 1t has been taken literally, Tor
everybody has more or less salt in him.
1t Is the one condment which all like, which all
must have- There will always be a market for salt,
therefore and long we rave the great lake with
us Utah viii be able supply the demand when other
sources have passed into barre,ness,

Nankeyille's minstrel organization,
sailing under the magic name of Hav-
eriy, is as productive of entertainment
this season as last, which is equivalent
to saying that well pleased, almost
hysterical, crowd filled the New Grand
last night and urged on the perform
ers to their best efforts with frequent
outbursts Of applause.
The show is about the same as be-
fore. George Wilson is featured and
certainly earns his salary in lot of
funny stunts a mOnOlOgue included.
Eddie Mailer is the only other man
entitled to a place on the end. Why
he should go way back in favor of the
gentleman who dances is not clear.
The first part is not at all bad in the
way of gags and the s0loists are to be
credited with a good deal that is pleas
ing. Especially good was the bass

male soprano would get better results
b. shaving his mustache and discover
ing something of more recent issue
than "Since Thou Art Mine" But at
that ne has a voice that set the gal
lery into a fever Of admiration and
excited curiosity in the pit
Among the specialties, which are all
very clever, the musical team, Garden
and Somers, took away most of the
applause Mazier and COnley are
funny in their dialogue comedy and
Marion and Pearl in acrobatic comedy
were highly entertaining, especially
when they sent Dick Colburn into a
convulsion by making a pass at the
bald-headed row with a chair, After
that came more acrobatic stuff Of the
slap-stick variety by the Young broth
ers, two very flexible parties.
The street parade of the Haverly
show excited much favorable notice.

Companionable People,
]. w. In Wo,d and Works.

J. w. In Word and Works.
In every society we find that The
people who are called companionable
are those who have knack OF making
hight of their trlbulations and vexatloss
and habit of putting them out OF
sight: who DO not entertain their &C
quaintances with the recital of a bad
baking, leaky pipe, the children s
measles, the short comings of the SER
wants who know how to keep their
melancholy if they have any, out of
the conversation, whose nerves do not
furnish them with material for a
morning call who are not always on
the outlook for a draught or a change
OF weather, Or slight who do not
lament their poverty aloud, ard make
us feel responsible for it, and uncom-
Portable amidst our plenty. TIE com.
panionable people never seek to make
us dissatisfied with ourselves or our be-
iongings; they talk about the things
we like to hear, and are silaat upon
subjects on which we disagree; they
do not differ from us for the sake of
and do not announce their
opinions as if there were no appeal
therefrom. They do not talk you
blind, as the saying Is, neither do they
offend by their taciturnity; thcy do
not have to be drawn out like defective
teeth, but develop their talent as gen.
erously and charmingly as the plant
develops its blossoms; neither 90 they
pump or catechise us about our affairs,
out show genuine interest in what
ever we may choose to import OF a per-
sonal nature and although they ne, er
force their confidence upon US, they
haye none of that frosty reselye which
never allows us glimpse of their
hearts.

Admiral Csrvera Dying.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
The news that Admiral Cervera, the
commander of the Spanish fleet in the
battle of Santiago, Is on his deathbed
will doubtless cause sincere regret in
this country. Though he was our
enemy the American people learned to
regard him as a soldier and a gentle
man in the best sense of those much
abueed words. The defeat and destruc-
tlon of his fleet involved no discredit
for him, his ships haying been out
numbered as we'll as outclassed by
those OF the United States. His SYM
pathetic praise, communicated to the
American Commander-in-C Chief, of the
bravery of young Hobson and compan-
ions on the Merlin &c showed that the
Spanish Admiral was as gallant as he
was tender hearted. The proof OF a
brave soldier is his capability OF unset
fish admiration for the gallantry OF his
foes.

The Ripe Condition For Writing

Joe Mitchell Chapple in "Ths National Mage zine
Writing Is a peculiar process mat
ter of habit varied by temperament
and it appears that the more obstacles
oppose vivid flow of written thought
the better the literary result. Who
ever knew of an author who threw of
great periods with desk in spick and
span, arple-pie order, like they have
them in government offices-pens
glistening like steel, carefully wiped
and laid in order, blotters spotless,
pencils sharpened with a machine and
depressing in their uniform and mill
tary precision and spear-like pointed
ness.
When the pink pencil is brought
forth the writing is not apt to be fer
idly bright. Of course, each write,
has his own fancy, but the rule ap-
pears to prevail that little of the
real comfort of writing is coordinate
with an array of artistic confusion that
indicates work and abhors an exhibit
OF gilded, carved inkstands, silver
mounted blotters, embossed and en-
broidered inkwlpers, gold pens and a
jewelled calendar. All very pretty,
perhaps picturesque, just right for a
picture, but the great thoughts do not
usually bubble from such fountains,
according to the confidential testimon y
OF number of our distinguish ed con-
tributors.

Don't Worry.


/ The Greenvilie, South Caroline
News, whose editor is evidently phil
osopher, suggests that we begin tn
New Year with a resolution not to wor
lry. The suggestions in regard to tn,
too prevalent habit of crossing bridge
before We get to them, or of "borrow
ing trouble" are worthy of attention
and we give them herewith
Some one has said of the oabit O.
worrying "This would be a compare
lively happy world If we did not suffer
so much from things that never hap
pen. How our shoulders ache under
tne weight of burdens we are never
called upon to bear! How our hearts
are wrung by griefs that never take
shape! J" 1t no more serious charges
could be brought against it, worrying
would head the list of follies. It costs
us an untold amount of unnecessary
misery. It takes away the strength
we need for wo-k. In all ITS record of
accomplishment, it is impossible to
point out good result it has brought
about. Worry is tie nail in the coffin
of the man not yet dead it Is Grape on
the door, announcing the funeral, that
should not take place for years yet to
come.
Worry is the dyspepsia and indiges-
ton, brought On, not from oyereating
or eatlng too much rich food, but from
thinking to much beforehand about
what we are going to have to eat, or
thing at all to eat. It is the overcoat
put on as protection against the ex-
pected cold wave, that turns out to be
a warm one it is tre umbrella raised
to keep off the rsin that turns out to
be sunshine it is the celestial telescope
which shows inverted images.
Worry has never yet brought SUM-
shine to any one, but has times with
out number, caused the sun to pass be-
hind cloud, when there was not a
cloud to be seen in the sky it has ex-
hausted the strength in the yesterday,
that Is needed to push forward the
work of today. "Sufficient unto the
lay is the evil thereof" Let us bor-
row no trouble, Tor each day and hour
will come laden with its proper amount
If sunshine and cloud.
We have pointed to the absurdity OF
and it is now in order tor us
% point the way out of it. To get rid
If the darkness in room we should
lot think OF dipping it out, as we would
70 much water we would dlsplace it
With light. If we put worrying under
he head of nonsense, it Is easy to un-
that it must be driven out by
n influx of sense.
We cannot get rid of worry by an
fort of the will not to worry, We must
rive it out by seeing that it Is abso-
ately ioolsh and injurious as we'll, to
'orry. Anything that would natural
Y happen, will come just the same, no
natter how much we worry, the thing
,ill happen in our weakened state Of
