EFFECTS OF LUXURIOUS LIVING.

DR.. John V. Shoemaker IN the Reader.
The conditions of luxury under which
most of us live--for these are days when
even the poor man enjoys comforts such
as were unobtainable by the rich half
century ago--have a. tendency TO
weaken our constitutions and impair
our vitality. Our houses are oyerheat-
ed, even the vehicles in which we ride
are often warmed almost to suffocation,
Thus We have become like dollhouse
plants. and, II by chance exposed to
current OF cool air. we catch cold, or
perhaps contract bronchitis or pneu-
monla. trlning change Of temperature
cutting our lives short in twinkling.
Or. again, il may be that like cause win
bring congestion OF the kidneys. leading
to disease Of those organs proving
eventually fatal.

THE ISSUE IN IDAHO,

4 correspondent Of the Boston Tran
script, of October 81, attempts an essay
ON the political affairs of Idaho and
volunteers the information that Nor
n,onlsm" Is the only and real issue In
that state From what the writer
says the inference II unavoidable that
his Informant IS no less parsonage than
the aspirant 20 re-eiection to tho Unit
Cd States Senate. II 80. It is frank
admission. that his contest Is n dellber-
ate war upon religious system, re-
lgious denomination.
The question naturally arises, what
has the Church Of Jesus Christ OF
Latter-Gay Saints done 10 call down
upon its members a declaration Of war
BY the great and mighty ones IN the do
main OF politics? AS pioneers in these
valleys, the Saints have by toll
and thrift made THE desert
blossom as rose to use the
familiar expression. and they have
made the valleys OF the mountains
q desirable place Of residence for jew
and Gentle, as well as Mormon"
Morally considered, II would be difii-
cult To ind q better class OF people.
We could mention an entire valley IN
Idaho In which there are a number OF
settlements without saloon or gamo-
ling house. Aud as for loyalty TO the
United states government and the laws
Of the land, they compare favorably to
any equal number OF citizens In the
Republic. The "mormons" never have
asked for any special favors or privi-
loges, except freedom 10 worship God
according to their views and the light
they have. and liberty to enjoy the pre-
negatives OF American citizens. What.
tIen. is there IN 'Mormonism" that
should be made special political issue
In any State IN the Union?
The correspondent OF the Transcript
uuotes Mrs. Cohen as having said:
"rwenty years ago the Mormon"
Church prophesied that by this time
they would control the balance OF power
In Utah, Idaho, Wyoming. Colorado,
and they have achieved hat prophecy.
They have also said that they would
some day control the government Of the
United States. and II behooyes US to
prevent that contamination OF their
desire"
This Ia a fair sample OF the charges
on which the anti-"Mormon CAM
paign is based. The Mormon Church,
we are told has prophesied that II
would control q number OF states, and,
finally, the United States. The fact Is
that the Church has never made any
such prophecy That is an invention OF
the slanderers Of the Church II has
always been a part of tho tactics OF
certain persons to make unsupported
,harges and accusations against the
Church. and then proceed upon the sup
position that the charges are true, no
matter how absurd they may be. The
Church Of Jesus Christ OF Latter-day
SAINTS uoeS not HHn at poitcet pow

bearer OF the Gospel OF Jesus Christ to
his age and generation. II that fur

JAPAN's THREATS.
Worcester Gazette.

Japan Is crafty as well as brave. The
little brown men OF Nippon unite In
their makeup the hoary wisdom OF
China with the white mans genius for
united. aggressive action. 1t is this
fact that makes the agitation against
the Japanese In California seem both
foolish and perilous, short sighted and
unnecessary. Though there may be
no war with Japan, the danger which
threatens the Industrial life and com
merce Of tho Pacific coast is almost as
great as IL war itself threatened. The
Chinese discovered the weakest spot In
the American national armor was In the
budding, American foreign trade. II IL
suspected that the Japanese anxious
themselves to hold the commercial su-
premacy OF the Pacific, are aiming at
Wholesale boycott on American goods
and products.

The Last open Range.

But 1t is not true that the open range"
has wholly vanished. Its life still runs
wide and free. The heroic blgness OF IT,
however, is to be sought no longer in

been most often framed in story. He is

between Malta and Glasgow, from up on

This is roughly speaking, the country OF
the last great open range in the United
States, Its area is greater than the COM

A Modern Solomon.

Verify the Duehy Of Baden possesses
a Solomon in the person OF one OF her
magistrates. He is the burgomaster of
a. village in a street whereof a cyclist ran
over and killed goose. The owner OF
the bird demanded three marks damages.
THE cyclist thought too ample. The case
came before the chief magistrate, who
gave his judgment as follows: 1.-THE
plaintiff declares that II paid three marks
he will make no claim for the dead
goose. The defendant, who is willing to
pay two marks, also makes no claim for
the body Of the goose. Defendant, hand
me the goose" When botn had obeyed
his commands he produced one mark out
OF his pocket and handed all three to
the plaintiff. The goose ne kept for him
self, and doubtless ate 1t with the good
digestion which comes from the knowl-
edge OF having pleased everybody.

Major Powell Cotton. who set out last
year on an African expedition from the
Nile to the Zambesi, tells an interesting
story about the methods adopted by the
natives of the innermost regions of the
Congo Free State for the disposal of their
old people when they become a burden.
The infirm and aged are rendered I'M
conscious by means Of a narcotic, and in
this comatose condition are wrapped in
fresh antelope skin. In this garb they
are then hurried by the members OF the
family to a point remote from the village
and abandoned in the grass near a native
track. The first native that passes the
spot discovers what he imagines to be in
antelope, and promptly dispatches 1t with
spear. The members Of the deceased
aged ones family then emerge from hid
ing near by, and express open horror and
surprise at the unfortunate incident,
though inwardly congratulating them
selves upon the successful manner in
which they have been relieved Of their
burden.
