Ancient New Years Gifts.

Queen Elizabeth made most lavish
use of the custom of distributing gifts
at New Years. She herself received
enumerates some of the things as cas-.
kets studded with precious stones,
"armlets set with rubies," necklaces,
mantels, silken hose, smocks, petit
coats. looking glasses, fans and
brooches. These things do not sound
so wildly wonderful to us now, but at
that time no doubt many of the things
were rare novelties. Silk stockings
and looking glasses are mentioned as
being wonders of that age. No doubt
some of the other things were more
or less so.
During the reign Of the Bourbon
Kings in France that country cele.
brated New years most pictur.
esquely.
Carriages loaded with bonbons
were driven through the streets of
Paris and the poor were feted on
sweets that day as they never were
on any other throughout the year.
Preparations for this celebration
were going on in the confectioners'
quarter for days before New Year.
and it is said that the hustle and ac-
tivity was SO great at the time that
no one could get in on any other busi-
ness than that concerning the great
holiday.
Literally showers of confetti bonbon
boxes of every conceivable kind and
device fell upon the poor of Paris
upon that day, on which the king
grew lavish.

ty-five years If it has a chance.
Those who have been alarmed at the
growth and persistence of the Mormon
power. and have sought TO curb it. APP
parently have no appreciation of the ev-
erlasting rock on which it is built.
The Mormon church has been from the
FIRST a great scheme of cooperative colo
nization. 1t has taken poor men ard
made them rosperous-converted tenants
into proprietors, tramps into taxpayers,
hired men into employers. and made the
outcast a partner in store, factory and
bank.
And how has it done all this? First
by knowing the value of our great public
domain and proceeding TO help Itself to
the wealth thereof. in strict accordance
with the letter and the spirit of the law.
Then by dividing the land among those
who use it and seeing that the landowner
is also the owner of the water and OF all
the facilities of its distribution.
Fortunately for them, the pioneers and
those who followed them were poor. No
man was rich enough to exploit the mass.
The work to be done was beyond the
reach IF individuals. and the only capital
available was the brains and muscle Of
leaders and followers. This capital was
organized and employed in cooperation.
II was the only way. And It won.
The Mormons have grown steadily for
nearly sixty years. and are growing to-
day. because of their policy OF irrigation
cooperation and home making. Its enc
mics have persistently refused to open
their eyes to this luminous fact. To the
man who asks for home. they offer
tract-not track OF land. but a tract in
elucidation of the Scriptures. To the man
who asks for chance 10 make a living

FACTS ABOUT PERU
Consul Writes to the Eagle of
His Country.
TO CORRECT WRONG IDEAS
Offers to Correspond with Any
one Desiring.

Writing from Consulate Del Peru to
the Eagle, Edwardo Higginson says:
Inquiries which reach me from time
to time, sho what many erroneous i'm
pressions exist as 70 Peru. not merely
in regard 10 the political, financial, and
economic situation in the Republic. but
also in respect OF its physical character
Istics.
Peru is often spoken of as the Little
Republic" Relatively 10 the United States
OF North America, it is true; but the fact
remains that Peru has an area approx
mately six times that of the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, or
three and a half times that of Germany.
What the Republic needs is more popu
latioa. the density of which is as 1 to 20
compared with that Of the United King
dom, as 1 to 90 compared with that OF
Germany; more industrial and agricul-
turaI activity for which the opportunities
are many and immense; mare capital en-
ployed in developing the natural riches
so plentifuIy bestowed upon IT,
The ennisrant who needs TO choose his
climate cannot fail to find In Peru a set
part OF the temperate scale: enterpris-
ing manufacturers may find there facih-
ties for the employment of their skill I'M
rivalled in any other state; the capitalist
has magnificent opportunities for the in
vestment OF his wealth and its profitable
employment. Peru also offers exceptional
opportunities for scholorly gentlemen,
with a little capital, to establish private
schools and colleges for the study Of the
English language.
Politically considered. Peru offers every
security which accompanies stability Of
purpose and wide franchise; in NUM-
cipal and taxation matters there is elias
ITCHY. and, to suit the needs Of young
industries, generosity. whilst in respect
of personal liberty, there are constitu-
tional guarantees unsurpassed for their
effectiveness and comprehensiveness.
