Teachers Institute.

An interesting session of the teach
ers' institute for Iron county was
held at Parowan last Saturday com
mencing at IL: 10 a. M, and continu-
ing until 2 p IN. The attendance
included from twenty five to thirty of
the teachers of the county. The pro-
gram carried out was as follows:
A trio was sung by VIM. Il, Morris,
VIM. T.. Morris, Jr., and James Con-
nell.
The question, ''To what extent
may familiarity between teacher and
pupil be carried without demoraliz.
ing the SCHOOL," was discussed by
Miss Bess Angel, teacher of the
Enoch school. The speaker related
instances from personal experience
illustrating the influence which the
teachers may exert over pupils in
their association, apart from the
ordinary school work. 1t was shown
that the tacher is often the ideal of
the pupil, and that an occasional
word dropped at tho home in en-
couragement of filial duty and good
conduct, often achieves beneficial
results. The teacher should place
himself at the level of the child, and
should seek to understand his motives
and impulses. The dignity of the
teacher should, however, be main
tanned, and just how far spirit of
sociability should be carried is a
question which can best be de-
termined by the teacher as the con-
ditions and circumstances arise.
A mixed chorus led by VIM. L.
Morris was the next feature of the
program.
George Holt of the Parowan schools
discussed ably the subject of "How
to Interest Children in 7th Grad2|
History. The quest of nnssis -
was the -. Drincir.f'y fee pmmended.
-otbef sseg.ees were the aopic meth
cd, the debate and the Naturalization.
Each of these the speaker had tried
and had found them to give variety
and to stimulate interest.
The problem, "How may the weak
and strong of the various grades be
handled together in class without in
Justice to either?" was discussed by
Miss LaVerna Isom and Miss Alice
Redd of the Cedar schools. The
results of separating the brighter
students from the duller ones of the
same grade we're pointed out, and
also the benefits which result from
holding recitations jointly. This had
been difficult problem to solve,
and no specific devices could be cited
by the teachers to promote the latter
method.
"How best to teach that substract-
ing minus is equivalent to adding a
plus, was illustrated by James
Ollorton, Jr.
The newly-elected county superin-
tendent, James Robb, was informally
introduced by acting superintendent
Decker. Mr.. Robb expressed him
self in relation TO assuming direction
Of the body of teachers assembled, in
connection with their co-workers in
the country, and also spoke in regard
to the course he intended to follow
in the performance of his duty.
Supt. Geo. w. Decker, responding
to the request of the Teachers, spoke
of his, feelings upon retiring from
the position which he had occupied
for several years as superintendent of
schools. Though he regretted to
break his connection with the body
of teachers, yet he believed that this
would not be the last time he would
meet with them. Supt. Decker
spoke at length ON the duties and re-
sponsibilitty of the teachers.

The continued activity with which
the searching of refuse heaps in quest
of treasure is being prosecuted makes
It interesting to remember that the
sifters and sorters of London were
once wealthy and organized. A case is
on record of one woman who in eight
wears was able to build a house prop
erty out of her scrubbing and CLEAN
ing. 1t seems scarcely credible that
Moscow is built upon London rubbish.
Such. however, is the case. An enor-
NOUS heap of refuse at the Battle

and other low but necessary profess
had lain in that position
since the great fire. After the de-
struction of Moscow upon the visit of
Napoleon the Russians by some means
came to hear Of this dust heap They

Prolific Insects,

There is infinite variety in the num-
Der of eggs laid by different animals,
the general rule being that those high
est in the scale of life are least pro-
life.
Among vertebrates fish are the most
prolific. Trout and salmon average
1000 eggs to every pound weight.
auckland reckoned the roe of a half
pound herring at 1880, of an eight
pound turbot at $4,000 and of a thirty
pound cod at 5000, 600, while the stur-
geon has more than a third of its
weight ready for the toothsome ca
Ware.
Mollusks vary in their powers of re-
production from thirty to fifty at a
time in snails,. to the thousands Of the
whelk, while the spat of some reaches
1000, 900. It is among insects that stu
pendous numbers appear, reaching a
climax in the termites, or white ants.
The queens Of these are egg laying
machines of the most astonishing fe-
cundity. They become huge cylindri-
cal packages 1900 times their usual
size. chained to one spot. The laying
at the rate of sixty eggs a minute, or
$4,000 a day, reaches probably in two
years the enormous total Of 5Q,oG0,0 600!

For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh Of the Stomach is Generally

o ton is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies d. Not Reach the
Seat Of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

TX. U. s. Senator NJ. C. Butler from
A. South Carolina was Senator from that
State for two terms. In d recent letter to
Tie peruua Medicine Co., from Washing
ton, ID. c., says:

1t is indeed u w0ytderfuL medicine
besides u good tonic. IN. G.. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures
c~atarril, Peruua does not produce artl-
fetal digestion. 1t cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in a natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial meth
DDS or narcotics.
peruna has cured more cases of dyspep-
STA than all other remedies combined,
simply because it cures catarrh wherever
located. Ii catarrh is located in the head,
Pcruna cures it.. If catqrrh has fastened it
self i'll the throat OF bronchial tubes,
Pcruna cures it. When catarrh becomes
settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it,
as we'll in this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Pcrunia is a catarrh remedy.
"!cruna cures dyspepsia because it is gen.
clavy dependent upon cata1Ta.

AMERICAS CANAL SYSTEM,
Great Schemestor Land Irrigation in
the Far West.

tns Far " sST.
Although less than four per cent, Of
the available area for irrigation has
thus far been reached by the canal
system, the largest area served in a
single state by irrigation is in Col
orado, where no less than seventy
five per cent. of the lands in the state
available for cultivation depends up
on the artificial water supply. These
farms aggregate 1925 600 acres. The
South Platte Valley, which represents
the most extensively irrigated region
in the United States, including por-
tions of Colorado, Wyoming, Nebras-
ka, has 1000, 900 acres which are
artificially watered. Farms in Utah
thus supplied aggregate 800, 900 acres.
Arizona contains 100000 acres, New
Mexico $50, GOO acres. Nebraska 100,-
600, while some Of the most produc-
tive valleys of California which send
their fruits and vegetables by the car
load to all parts Of the United States
as we'll as to the principal cities Of
Europe, are nurtured entirely by
wells and canals. Yet the average
size Of an irrigated farm Is not over
forty acres, which gives an idea Of the
millions of people who depend upon
these great w~aterworks for their
livelihood.
The canal system already complet-
ed in the West and Southwest equal
in extent any in the world in general
dimensions, save the East Indian
bitches. To serve the present terri
tory cultivated by irrigation, about
$4,000 miles have been constructed,
ranging in width from the ditch two
feet across, to water courSes which
are $50 feet, carrying 8 volume Of six
feet in depth. The longest Of the
American canal systems is doubtless
that which traverses the San Luis
Valley In Colorado. It is known as
the Henry Canal and is 237 miles IL
length, supplying 2,0G0 miles Of lat
erals. La Junta is ia miles in length,
connecting with $50 miles Of l~aterals,
while the Pecos Valley in New Mex
ico~ obtains its water from the Rio
Pecos through a system which aggre-
gates 1,249 miles.-Day Allen Wiley

FISH STORY FROM MOROCCO.
Cain Let Loose From q Box of SaT
dimes in the SuItan's Hareyn.

Here Is a startling story which we
copy from a Spanish paper Late
one night last month an English
storekeeper IN Morocco, the ancient
capital of Morocco, was reused from
his sleep by loud knocking at his
('Open quick"). Looking out, he rec
ognized the uniforms OF the soldiers
Of the Palace. He opened the door
and asked what they wanted. An
officer told him that the Sultan want
ed all the sardines in his establish
ment. The Englishman woke up his
assistant, and they loaded up a wagon
with boxes Of saTdines and sent it
off with the guards. Next morning
the Englishman appeared at the Pal
ace and presented hiaH bill. While
waiting for his check one of the sec
retaries told him what had happened.
This assistant secretary was q coun-
trynlan of the :torekeaper. "Oh, we
had a lively time here last night"
said he. "The Sultan made a pres
ent Of a box Of sardines to one Of
his wives. She, good-natured soul,
brought it into the harem, so that
her sisters might sample the sardines.
When the box was opened a hundred
glorious eyes made the little fishes
sparkle in the box. Immediately all
the lovely ladies sqUatted~ on the
floor, and then yum, yum. yum! But.
oh horror! and likewise boo. boo!
boo! There were not enough to go
round. The ladies rose to a man.
More sardines,' they shouted, and
the stately halls of the Palace echoed
the silvery tones Of their piercing
screams. The terrible cry, 'Slrdines!
sardines!' rang through the entire
building.
"The Sultan was terrified. He
rushed to the harem. Beloved ones
he gasped, what jp the holy name Of
Mohammed is the natter 'S2rdines!
sardines!' they shouted. Stars of my
existence said the Sultan, don't go
on strike, I beg you. Have q little
patience and I will send you all the
sardines in the town
"The ladies gave three cheers for
the Sultan, and when your supply
arrived they cheered more, after
which they squatted down again and
sailed into the ~sardines. New they
call them 'horrid things'"-Courr,eT
