attend church. The snow on many
roads lay in drifts, but several sleighs
reached the editice and the cOngrega-

others during the year. Rev Mr. Post
delivered a good sermon upon Go

service was held IN the evening, except
the meeting of the Y. P. G. E.

The rendering of the cantata,
"Evangeline," at Pavilion hall, on

The Great Salt Lake.

Prof. W. J. MCGEE, of the govern
ment geological survey, declares that
the Great Salt Lake of Utah Is vanish
ing. and that this most remarkable
body of water will be completely dried
up In fifty years, II not sooner. Al
ready it's waters show signs of reced-
ing. and ii may not be more than TWEEN
ty-fiye years before irrigated farms will
be cultivated on what Is now the bot
tom Of this inland sea, whose waters
are so salt that a body cannot sink in
them.
The lake Is about seventy-fye miles
long and half that at its greatest
width, and Is rather shallow, being In
most places not over 30 feet deep, al
though a depth Of possibly 100 feet
may obtain in certain places. The rea-
son why 1t Is so salt, science says, Is
simply because It has no outlet save
through evaporation, and the streams
during past ages have been carrying
salt into 1t. These contributing streams
are now being utilized for irrigating
the lands around the lake, and before
long immense reservoirs will be con
structed In the mountains, where these
streams have their sourse, which will
cut off the lakes feed entirely. When
this is done the level Of the lake will
be lowered very Washington

An English tourist in the highlands
tells the following amusing story: He
was travelling one day last summer by
rail in the north of Scotland, and at
one of the stations four farmers EN-
tered the train. They were all big,
burly men and completely filled up the
seat on the one Side of the compart-
ment.
At the next station the carriage door
opened TO admit a tall, cadaverous in
dividual with about the girth of a
lamp post He endeavored to wedge
himself in between two of the farmers,
and finding it difficult operation he
said to one of them: Excuse me, sir;
you must move up bit. Each seat is
intended to accommodate five persons,
and according to act of parliament you
are only entitled to eighteen inches OF
space"
Aye, aye, my friend" replied the
farmer; that's a very guild for you

Worry Causes Dyspepsia.

Worry Is cause and source or
much unhapplness. 1t seams the face
with line and burrows and has a most
depressing effect upon that hypersen-
sitive organ. the stomach, which at
such times becomes a most unwilling
and laggard servant. Indeed, 1t is safe
to say that unless encouraged by a
cheerful temper and bright or, at least
hopeful thoughts. the stomach will play
truant or sulk or do no good work. The
physiological explanation of this is the
close alliance of the great sympathetic
nerves, which are worse than the tele-
graph for carrying bad news; the work
and anxiety which depress the brain
cause simultaneously a semi-paralysis

Keeping Friends.

There is nothing So very difficult In
making friends; the trouble is to keep
them. Pleasing manners and Il taking
way will always win admirers, but
lasting friendship must be built upon
firmer foundation than Il transitory
smile, an hour of high spirits or even
great physical beauty. OF course it IL
pleasure TO feel that one Is favored
by some radically beautiful woman.
but unless there be genuine congenial-
ity between the two concerned the time
will come when passive loyeliness will
cease to be attractive. TO retain friend
ship one must be continually on the
watch and not let the familiarity that
comes from Il lengthy knowledge OF
the others life breed the contempt that
so often follows close intimacy.
To retain either friendship or love
the illusions must not be dispelled Do
not, because you feel sure OF your
ground, let the commonplace enter in
and monopoliZe the. everyday affairs.
Let the halo Of sentiment hover over
even the prosaic affairs of daily life,
for. once dispelled, they can never form
again. and in the one glimpse of the
material side of the intimacy may bs

time thought to be eternal

The question is often asked. At what
time of day should fruit be eaten? In
tropical countries, where fruit Is the
chief article of food, the rule appears
to be that the earlier in the day it Is
taken the better and the later the
worse. In hot weather many wise
people win eat none after noon. alleg-
ing that the digestion then declines In
power with the decline of the day and
the fruit instead of digesting, decom-
poses owing to the presence of the sac
charine matter. The objection to fruit
and certain kinds of vegetables late IN
the day. be the explanation what II
may, is certainly justified by an ample
experience. though some persons can
eat fruit mt all hours without feeling
any Inconvenience Table Talks.
