"The United Order" of Mormonism

Prof. Richard T. Ely in Harper's Magazine.
Some attempts have been made to estab-
lish the United Order, the most notable of
which was at Orderville, Utah. These at
tempts had only very limited measure Of
success, and have been abandoned tempo
rarily, on account Of the hardness of
mems hearts," as they might say. The
United Order was very dear to Brigham
Young and in one Of his sermons toward
the close of his life he spoke about 1t as
an ideal. and told his hearers that 1t would
be easy to establish the United Order II his
followers only had sufficient measure of
obedience. The United Order was revealed
as true ideal to the Prophet Joseph, as
he claimed, in 1881. 1t was necessary that
this United Order should be established in
order to fulfil the mission of Mormonism.
Mrs. Gates told me, In a conversation in
her home at Provo, that the United Order
occupied large place in the thoughts of
her father during his last years, and that
the obstacles which had been-thrown in his
way in the establishment Of this order had
weighed upon him as a heavy burden at
the last. The plan was that a man should
deed all his property to the church. and
receive back stewardship. It Is said that
not only were there difficulties on account
OF the unripeness Of the Lormons them
selves but also on account OF the laws OF
the land regulating the inheritance OF prop
erty. Those high in the councils of the
church. however, maintain to this day that
the United Order Is coming.

Monkeys at a State Dinner.
From the Chicago Daily News.


An amusing story Is told of Lady Bar.
kers first dinner party at Sinla, India.
DESTROYS Of having a pretty table. Lady
Barker had herself expended much care in
decorating it. She had just received from
Europe certain dainty china figures and or
namental dishes, and had arranged a
tempting show Of sweetmeats flowers and
fruit. When dressing time came Lady Bar.
ker charged her servants to be on the
watch and take care of everything; but
something of interest occurred outside and
every servant left the room, quite forget
ting to close an open window. Before this
window was a big tree on which sat sew.
eral monkeys, which had watched the prep
arations for dinner with much interest. A
half hour later the hostess appeared ready
to receive her guests. Just to be sure that
everything was right, she gave a glance
into the dining room. There she beheld a
busy company of monkeys hard at work.
grinning and jabbering, their cheeks and
arms crammed with expensive sweetmeats
while the table presented a scene of fright
ful devastation-broken glass and china,
fair linen soiled. everything tossed about
In hopeless confusion. From this wreck
she had to turn aside and welcome her
guests with as much ease of manner as
possible. Dinner, Of course, had to be de.
ferred until order could be restored.

Perpetual Motion.
From Success.


1t Is the corner stone of modern physics
that perpetual motion, in the sense in
which 1t was sought by the old philoso-
piers, cannot exist. An unfailing original
source of energy is contradiction in
terms since energy can only be transferred
not created. This being true, physicists
nave lately been put at their wits ends
to explain the newly discovered phenomena
of "radio-activity," in which certain rare
metals continuously give off rays much re-
sembling the Rontgen radiation in their
properties. The energy of this dalton is
sufficient, estimated in heat units, to melt
in years time layer of ice on-sixtieth
of an inch thick above the radiating area.
This is not much, but, such as it is, Il has
been given off for millions Of years without
apparent change in the emitting substance
1t can hardly be said that this phenomena
has yet been satisfactorily accounted for
Some authorities believe that the energy of
the radiation does not really come from
the radiating substance, but is derived by
1t from outside in some way. Others think
that there is alteration in the active
substance, so slight that it cannot be de-
tected, and that In time the radiation will
cease.

INHALINa TOBACCO SMOKE.
A Practice That Subjects the Smoker
to Great Risk.
From the Lancet.

From the Lancet.
On the labels of some boxes of cigarettes
at present being sold to the public is G
statement to the effect that the cigarettes
are made of the purest tobacco and paper
ootainable, and that. therefore, the smoke
from them may be inhaled safely and with
out irritating the respiratory passages. Nvo
do not hesitate to say that such a state.
ment is highly mischievous and that the
practice of inhaling smoke into the lungs
Is attended with considerable risk to the
health of the smoker
1t is to be feared that the cigarette is
responsible largely for the prevalence Of
this Objectionable habit OF inhaling toba eco
smoke: the pipe or cigar smoker is as q
rule not addicted to 1t because probably
the smoke Is too strong or too irritating.
but the fact that the smoke of a cigarette
may be unirritating does not minimize the
eVli erect of drawing smoke into the lungs,
Ior by this method the absorption of the
POISONOUS constituents of tobacco smoke
lano all tobacco smoke Is more or less
poisonous) Is very rapid, these entering
quickly into the circulatory system by way
OF the pulmonary capillaries. Even in the
mouth and nasal passages there is some
amount or absorption. but this is trifling
compared with that which takes place in
the lungs. The practice of inhaling to-
eacco smoke is. therefore strongly to be
discountenanced. and vendors of cigarettes

and lrritability, but the sequel to the habit

from more or less direct contact with
modern industries. These researches have
been carried on in animals of the greatest
diversity, and establish the fact that ar
