Does IL seem reasonable to those

for sale by tho Quaker doctor that a
man holding diplomas from half a
dozen of the great medical colleges
of the world, something that from
his own statements must have taken
him twelve to twenty years to ac-
quire, and added to this practice
extending over nearly half the states
in the Union, would DO hawking
about from town to town in this
sparsely settled district? Would not
such man be sought after in any of
the large cities? And could he not
earn as much in one day. there, cur

Of his wonderful oil, and doing a
hundred other things unknown to

The christmas holiday season is
near at hand and soon we will give
ourselves over to dinners and gen.
neral period of feasting. There will
be plum pudding, fruit cake and
various forms of pastry. Then there
will be a general epidemic of colds,
influenza and grip. People will
wonder how they caught cold, and
Will attFihate, IL to the changeable-
ness of the weather and various
causes. In reality, in a majority of
cases, the indisposition will be the
result of unwise eating. While graft
flying our appetites it is we'll to bear
in mind that the capacities of our
digestive organs are very limited
when it comes to handling the classes
of food above mentioned. Eat
wisely and in moderation, see that
your sleeping apartments are we'll
ventilated, and you will probably
avoid taking up with any of the
numerous colds that will be so pre-.
valent on all sides.

LIARS.

II IL astonishing how we'll some
chronic liars are liked by those with
whom they associate. We know of a
number of people whose word would
not he worth the time 1t takes to
hear them speak it, who are, notwith-
standing popular members of society.
Nobody ever expects them to fulfill
their promises, but they have such a
kind and agreeable way of making ly-
ing promises that it seems to be suf-
ficient for,thoir victims to hear them
make them. When the promises
stops to reflect he is not deceived in
the least for he knows that he has
not the slightest chance of realizing
on such things, but there seems to be
something about the promiser that, in
spite of his knowledge to the contra
~, inspires him temporarily with
hope, IL not belief.
There ia "A side to our human
nature that seems to be ready to con-
done, IL not approve, deception;
providing it be done in pleasing
manner. Many of us seem to relish
being smoothly humbugged, and to
this Is doubtless due much of the
immunity that so many smooth
rascals experience.
A promise, that they know will
not be kept, ia better liked by many
people than refusal, no matter how
courteously given.

Press dispatches tell of the organic
alton in New York City of the first
night and day bank, Leading
financiers of that place have reached
the conclusion that it would be a
great convenience to have bank
from which money could be had at
all hours of the day or night. 1t is
also expected that it will prove con.
venience to ladies, who may desire to
deposit their jewels therein upon re-
turning from the opera. This is a
convenience that the people of south
ern Utah can do without for some
time to come. If we could procure
all the money we desired in the day
time, we could manage very we'll with l..
ont drawing during the night. And
as there are seldom any operas to
attend tho ladies may take the pre-
caution to deposit their heir-looms
before nightfall.

and consistent pursuit of the ogri-
cultural science. In this part OF the
state agriculture In some form seems
likely to be the chief avocation, and
the example Of the young man 70
whom We have Just referred would be
an excellent one TO follow.
1t has long seemed inconsistent to
us to have our youth spend some. OF
the best years of their lives in the
study OF branches of learning That
will have no part in the avocation
that they will follow later in life.
We are all creatures of circumstances
to greater or less degree and 1T is
not very difficult to predict with a
tolerable degree of certainty the in
dustrial future of the generality OF
the youth in the country districts of
our state. There may be room for a
few lawyers, few doctors, and a few
mechanics along the lines usually
found in communities where frontier
conditions set the limit to manufac-
lures, but il the youth do not intend
the servile practice of going city ward
and joining the ranks of the pro-
letariat, they will be likely to Guilt
vatc the soil or become stock-raisers,
or both. Under these circumstances
it would be we'll Tor them in their
school days TO devote special atten-
tion to the branches of learning that
have bearing on the occupation that
they intend TO follow. This applies
also to the young women, who will
find that knowledge of the physics
OF bread making, butter and cheese
production. washing and ironing,
disbwashing and all the other thous-
and and one incidents to the business
OF housekeeping, which as wives of
the aforesaidd agriculturists they
will have to follow, will be of in
finitely more use to them than an
understanding of law, polite litera-
ture, psychology, algebra and the
other branches for which there is no
reason to suppose that they will have
any need in the profession that they
will be likely to adopt
1t is pleasing to note the practical
trend of the educational feeling on
the part Of those who have the power
and influence in these matters, and
we predict that IL will not be long
before the curriculum of our comomn
schools will inclgde special training
along the lines 81 domestic science
and agriculture, sXen if it is found
necessary in max. i room for them
to discard some ofthe less important
studies that are mob taught.

HABITS OF INDUSTRY.

HABITS OF INDUSTRY.
The Importance of early acquiring
habits of industry and of fostering and
encouraging them can scarcely be
estimated. One who Is in possession
of this important training may be poor
but he has never failing source of
income and diversion. The labor
incident to all advancement, whether
it be social, religious, financial orr n
tellectual becomes, under the influ-
ence of the inclination TO work, a
pleasure rather than a task, and under
such circumstances the progress made
is much greater than under most other
conditions.
1t seems to be law of our being
that in order to amount to much we
must work, and although the poss-
ession of wealth may relieve us of the
necessity of laboring for the supply
ing of our physical wants, there are
many other things that can be alb
tanned only by individual exertioI.
No amount of wealth can buy INTEL
igence and knowledge; it can only
smooth the path to some extent for
their requirement, and this in many
instances defeats the object in view
10y depriving it of the zest of pursuit
For it is often the case that what is
easily obtained, no matter how valu-
able, is not appreciated.
Among tho other things that depend
to considerable degree upon labor
of some kind for its possession, is
health. A reasonable amount of work
is necessary to the enjoyment of this
greatest of all earthly blessings, and
the idleness incident upon the re-
moval of all need to labor for the
means of subsistence has caused many
rich people to suffer from physical
ills, which they would have escaped
if they had been more industrious.
The habit of keeping busy is one
that is within the reach Of everyone
that will strive for it. There ~ no

been given by nature to every one of
her children who are in possession
of ordinary health and sense. 1t may
always be depended upon to supply
employment, for in this busy world
of ours there are none so poor but can
llnd some work TO do. To be sure it
ia often difficult to find work that will
pay from n pecuniary point Of view,
but in the absence of such work, all
labor will pay from an industrial
standpoint; and it is better that we
work without compensation, other
than that which follows oil work-the
keeping in practice-rather than fall
into habits of sloth and idleness.
However, the person who wants to
work, need never work for nothing
more than to keep in training; there

French Law for Travellers.

English spanking travellers are likely
to be imposed upon by French trades
men unless they are familiar with
their rights and liabilities unde the
laws of France.
French dressmakers especially are
very apt to try to make unwary trav-
oilers take ill-ftting garments. A case
Of his kind recently occurred in Paris.

dresses to the amount of thirty-four
hundred francs, and, after many try
ings-on and numerous delays. she re-

not fit. The dressmaker nevertheless,

on refusal of payment, attached Nine.
Gianaclis' entire wardrobe. Nine.
Gianaclis, in order to save her ward
robe, was obliged to pay the three
thousand three hundred and ninety-five
francs over to the court officer. But
when the case was heard in court, the
Judge not only ordered the three thous-
inc three hundred and ninety-five
francs refunded to Nine. Gianaclis, but
mulcted the dressmaker in a good
round sum for damages, n assessed
upon her the court costs. He held that

RUFUS YOUNG
A Man Who Passed His Life In Steal
ing Horses.

1h6 hoIeChs
The career of Rufus Young, the horse
thief who died at the Rutland coun-
ty Jail yesterday, says the Rutland
Herald, is typical enough to be more
than a curiosity. 1t is no sporadic
case. Years ago In New York State
he ran a hotel; but this was only his
avocation. His vocation was that of
a horse thief. His hotel was only q
side issue. He was the leader OF a
gang of. men who picked up other peo-
pies horses and sold them. 1t could
hardly be said that Young had a pas
sion for making money. He never
made any amount of money at stealing
horses, and he spent at least thirty
two years of his life in prison as a
penalty for plying his trade. He SIM
ply had a propensity for taking horses
wherever found. He probably never
tried to break into a jewelry store
nor a bank, nor was he ever known
to hold up a lonely travelar or to
adroitly touch a mans leather for his
money" Young was after horses, and
he wanted to sell them, too, the mo-
ment he captured one. He finished a
twenty-five year term in prison less
than two months ago, and probably
half a dozen times between hat and
his death he broke into barns in search
Of horses.
We would say that Young was men
tally sick. We do not think that he was
amenable to religious instruction. Sc
far as horses are concerned, he had
no sense of right and wrong. He was
beyond the influence of prayer or NOR
al tuition. He needed a doctor rather
than a minister. Why should he not
have been placed in a hospital for in.
curables rather than in a prison.
Scientists tell us that the criminal i'm
pulse runs in families. Young's dis
ease, If we may so term 1t, may have
been a case of atavism, a revival Of
recrudescence of a criminal DISPOSE
ton that could be traced back to his
ancestors. In that event the person t.
punish would be Young's great-grand
father, perhaps, and not him. He need
ed medical treatment and care. W.
wonder whether the world will so de
velop in wisdom on these matters tina
the insane criminals will be eventual,
separated from the vicious and placed
where they cannot harm the commu
nifty.

A Trinity of Dangers.

The trinity of dangers which the re-
public has to fear are immortality, in
~differentism, and fanaticism. Immor-
atty produces one or the other, accord
ing to temperament. Unfortunately,
in the body polite, indifferentism and
fanaticism do not antidote each other.
The one is dry rot; the other, combus-
ton and swift destruction. Men who
love their country enough to be glad
to serve it, and are wise enough to
steady it; who honor the law, and
therefore are careful what laws they
enact; men who can hasten %ultracon-
servatives without losing their hold
upon them, and are able to check ia
natics without driving them to riot
Gus extremes; men who discern where
reform ends and destruction begins,
who wish to possess only what they
can assimilate and beneicially govern
these in each generation a save the
State, and these only.-Century.

What Our Schools Cost.

1t is probably not generally known
that the United States spend annually
on elementary education about $22I,-
600. OOO--the exact figures for 19O0-1901
were, according to the report or the
United States commissioner of educa'
ton, $226,O43.236. Europe spent dur
ing the same period approximately
S246, 900. 900. The enrolment In the
elementary schools of Europe is, how
ever, in the neighborhood of 45'OOo'oOo'
while in the United States 1t is not
much more than 16, 900, 900 although
it is estimated that there were, in 19O1
almost %, 900, 900 children of school
going age in this country. Our yearly
expenditure per pupil averages SD.
Some profit may be gained from
comparison of the amounts spent year
ly by representative American cities
for the maintenance and operation OF
their public schools. New York spent
in a single year $40, 731,629; Chicago
follows with an outlay of $S,2O3'493
Philadelphia's expenditure was $3'3l9'
604; Boston's, $3,043 $40; Baltimore's
S1,417,392; Cleveland's, $1,25T, 345, ant
Washington's, 81, ,916. New Or
leans is at the end of the list, with al
expense Of only $47S,025. st Louis
by the way, pays more for its police
department than for its schools, ~,
Coz, 1872 for the former, as against 81
526, 140 for the latter-a ratio of 5
for the police to 80 cents for th
schools.-Harper's Weekly.
