That form of conceit they leave tn the

to tuck up his tail feathers and go to

NINE. PATHS GOSPEL OF HEALTH.
Great Prima Donna Lays Down Some
Reasonable RuleI


The following is printed as the
famous prima donna's code:
ITO be healthy is the natural state,
and disease is, in nine cases out OF
ten, our punishment for some indls-
cretion or excess.
Every time we are i'll 1t is part OF
our remaining youth which we sQuan-
der. Every recovery, whether from
headache or pneumonia, is accomplish
ed by the strenuous effort of vitality,
and is therefore a waste of your capi-
tai of life.
Therefore, don't let yourself be i'll.
"The best plan to avoid illness is to
live regularly, simply, with frugality
that stupid persons alone will seem
painful or eccentric.
sleep eight hours in every twenty
four.
"Ventilate the rooms in which you
work and sleep. Very few people, even
among those who think they are
well up in modern ideas, have any con-
ception of what ventilation means
Even when my voice was the only
thlng l mad IN the world | slept with
my windows wide open, summer and
winter, and never caught cold in that
way.
Examine seriously into your list OF
social obligations, have the good sense
to recognize that there is neither
pleasure nor profit in most of what
you regard as essential in that line.

Make your home pleasant place

can never drink too much of it.

alcohol is a poison which does untold

ANOTHER AMERICAN DUCHESS.
Possibilities of Succession to the Ducal
Title of Newcastle.

Possibilities of Succession to the DuCRl
Title OF Newcastle.
Although the echoes of the sensa-
tional episode of ex-Lieutenant Put
nam Bradlee Strong and Lady Francis
Hope, better known as May Yohe, have
died away since the couple left San
Francisco for Japan, there is much
curiosity felt at Newport as to what
action, il any, Lord Francis Hope will
take against his wife, and whether the
Duke of Newcastle, who is unalterably
opposed TO divorce, will permit his
brother to sue for divorce. AS the
duke holds the pursestrings, and Lord
Francis has not penny of his own,
the former will naturally have every
thing to say on the subject. Added to
this curiosity is a deal OF speculation
as to the chances of May Yohes esca-
pade giving English society another
American duchess. The chances OF the
Hon. Mrs. Charles Stapleton Pelham
Clinton. who was Miss Lizzie di Zerega
OF New York, becoming the duchess of
Newcastle would seem to be rather re-
mote. but experience has proved that
heirs to English titles much further re-
moved than is Mrs. Pelham Clinton
have reached them. Briefly summar-
lied, Mrs. Pelham -Clinton's chances Of
becoming the duchess of Newcastle de-
pend upon Lord Francis Hopes di-
vorcing his present wife, not marrying
again. or If he marries again, not hav-
ing any children by his second mar

and is not likely to have any. Lord
Francis Hope is similarly situated as
regards his present wife. The duke
dom, heirs failing to the present duke
and Lord Francis. will pass, If he sur
wives the duke and Lord Francis, to
the Hon. Charles Stapleton Pelham
Clinton. their first cousin. Mr.. and
Mrs. Pelham-C Clinton have no children
have been married fifteen years, and
! are not likely to have any; so that, II
they by chance should become the
Duke and Duchess of Newcastle, the
dukedom would pass in time to Mr.
Charles Pelham -Clinton's youngest
brother. who is unmarried. 1t would
| be a coincidence of the next Duchess OF
/ Newcastle would be an American, g
| compatriot of the Duchesses OF Man
chester and Marlborough. The Hon

in New York, where he lived for nearly
ten years. and where he married. He

Instead, they must breathe a great

BLOCKING UlNTAH LEASE.

THE FLORENCE Mining company,
L even if the new postmaster general
is az the head of it. will not acquire
a sauare mile IF the Uintah reserva-
tiou iust yet senator Kearns has
blocked that little game for the pres
ent by scoring the passage Of a reso-
luton directing the secretary Of the
interior to furnish the senate with an

meanwhile something may develop
Which viii Kill the proposition.
Titan people vino are interested in
seeing the reservation thrown open to
public entry, and shat means practi-
cally all the citizens of the state, win
rejoice over the delay. They viii also
join in hoping that our congressional
delegation may find a method of de-
feating TIE lease. Under its terms, if
the secretary Of the interior is allowed
to grant Il. the Florence people VIII
have two years H. which to do their
prospecting and at the end of that time
they may select any square mile of
ground which best suits them. This
territory they would hold for a long
term of years.
While this particular lease might not
have the effect Of throwing the opening
Of the reservation very far into the
future. it is ne good policy to grant
such leases. If it is possible for the
Florence Mining company to secure a
lease. it viii be possible for other

secure them. The result VIII be that
ali of the best mineral land on the res
ervation win soon be plastered over
with leases, and the.l. if the govern
went offers to tt~-w open the balance,
nobody will care to go in.
Another weighty reason .Ior adverse
action on leasing is the possibility of
the passage of the national irrigation
bill, under which the proceeds from

be turned into an yrigation fund The

PERMANENT CENSUS OFFICE.

WILLIAM r MERRIAM, director of
~ the last census, has an article il
the January North American Review
in which he argues for a permanent
census Office. Mr.. Merriam woald,
dcubtless, enter no objections if he
were retained as the permanent head
pf such a department. Although ne Of
fers q number of reasons for maintain
! ~ a Ger srs office continuously, it is
doubtful if the plan would result in
any returns commensurate with the ex-
pense which must be involved.
Nj. Merriam's chief argument IS the
difficulty Of securing expert statistic
ians on short notice. It is quite true
that statistical experts are needed when
CeEsuses are taken, but there should
rot be the difficulty in finding them
that Br Merriam suggests. It is pos
sible that he has looked only in the
ranks of the Republican party for his
material There is plenty Of il in the
Democratic party and in other political
organizations
Nobody doubts the necessity for ere
aung more offices. Any ohice-seeker
viii give expert testimony on this point.
AS matters stand today there is an
absolute famine in the office line, I,
! famine, rot Of material. but of the
places themselves. A benefcent Re
publican government is doing all it can
10 make up the deficiency, but try as
it win it cannot make the supply equal
the demand.

tainly be indOrsed by the pie hunters.
Ii would mean the establishment of
snecures for favorite individuals and
the draining Of the treasury to keep
them in comparative idleness. Even the
/ cumbersome methods of a government
tai department. surrounded as it is by
ali the coils of led tape which ingen-
icus time servers can invent. should
not make it possible to draw out the
work of taking a census through ten
long yeas.
Nc one disputes the claim that nu-
merous complaints We're made of mac
! curacies in the last census and those
that preceded it. Mr.. Merriam charges
them to the necessity for hurrying the
work. Still. we believe the people would
rather submit to inconsequential mis-
takes than to be taxed for the benefit
Of favored individuals who would take
