The Royal Teetotalers

Queen Victoria OF Spain does not know
the taste OF alcohol. Her special "tip-
ple' is made from oranges--the fresh
fruit squeezed into glass. which Is filled
with aerated waters. Oranges are her fa-
vorite fruit.
For years Princess Henry OF Batten-
berg was teetotaler but OF late she has
suffered so much from rheumatism that
she has been ordered little whiskey,
which she regards as a penance. Both
Princess Christians daughters, too, are
teetotalers.
All the children OF the Prince and Prin-
cess Of Wales are being brought up strict
teetotalers, and they k.row nothing Of al
cohols. Princess Patricia OF Connaught
and her married sister also abjure wine.
Another royal teetotaler Is the Duchess
OF Argyll and two daughters OF the Prin-
cess Royal, their Highnesses Alexandra
and Maud, have never i'm their lives
touch wine.-From Tit-Bts.

THE MORGUE AT PARIS
A VERY BUSY PLACE

From 1000 to 1900 bodies are received In
the morgue In Paris every year. These
represent suicides and murders ,and not
the deaths that occur In the ordinary
course OF events. And of these self
slaughters nearly half are drownings.
which means that every day at least two
persons jump into the Seine: two poor
wretches who have failed to find life
worth living.
In the months OF October and Novem-
ber suicides by drowning I'm Paris are
double what they are the remainder OF the
year. The prospect OF having to suffer
the hardships OF another winter. beegins
about In the cold and sleeping out In the
snow. is too much for many a fate-cursed
wanderer.
An interesting fact revealed by the sub
eide statistics OF Paris is that women
show a decided dislike to drowning as a
means of violent death. Four times ms
many men as women are fshed out OF
the Seine The records show that asphyxi-
alton Is the favorite way with the weaker
sex for "shuffling off this mortal coil. -
when IL has ceased to be bearable.--An-

Religious Advantages.
Salt Lake has representatives of all
kinds of religious thought and all are
absolutely free to worship God as
they please or not worship at all if
they so please. Mormons, Catholics,
Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Baptists,
Complexities, Methodists, Unitarians
and every other kind down to the
Holy Jumpers are here and all enjoy
equal rights and privileges, not only
in theory but in actual practice. No
body cares what be the religions pro-
clivites of his neighbor as long as he
accords the other fellow the same
privilege as he claims for himself and
conducts himself decently and decor
ously.
There is less drunkenness in Salt
Lake than in any city of its size in
America, fewer saloons in Utah by
half than in most states in the Union
on basis of population, fewer gam
blers, less crime and only so polyga-
nous men in all of Salt Lake City.
This latter fact may be doubted by
som: in view of transformation that
people labor under, but it is an abso-
lutte fact just the same.
Marching Forward.
Salt Lake is having a season of I'm
wonted prosperity. Nothing, outside
of a miracle can stop it. Geographic
ally it is in the place to be the big
city between Chicago and the Pacific
coast Nature has favored it. II is
growing every day. New railroads
are coming, not railroads on paper,
but actual railroads with steel rails,
engines and cars. New business
blocks, residences and factories are
being built. The builders and con-
tractors are up to their necks in work
