Word reached Salt Lake today of the

county, and was about 40 years of age.
For many years he was a resident Of
South Cottonwood, later lived at Muir
ray. and then KENT to engage in BUSH
ness at the place where he died. He
followed the profession of school
teacher during the greater part of his
life. and was a man of much ability.
For a number OF years he had been
growing extremely feshy, and this con-
dition doubtless contributed TO the
deadly hold which the disease gained
upon his system. He is survived by a
wife and four children. and has many
relatives IN various parts OF this coun-
try. one brother, sondra Sanders, is
a merchant on west First South street,

Bitter Wit.

Samuel Rogers, the banker poet,
was noted for his bitter wit, for
which, however, he had an excuse.
"They tell me | say i'll natured
things" he once observed in his
slow, quiet, deliberate way. Il have
a very weak voice. If | did not say
i'll natured things no one would
hear what [ said"
It was owing to this weakness of
voice that no candles were put on
his dinner table, for glare and noise
go together, and dimness subdues
the voices in conversation as a hand
kerchief thrown over the cage of a
canary subdues its song. The light
was thrown upon the walls and pic
lures and shaded from the room.
This did not suit Sydney Smith,
who said that a dinner in St. James
place was "a flood Of light on all
above, and below nothing but dark
ness and crashing of teeth"

Safe and Swift. !.

The pupils in No. 3 school in
Bushby knew that whenever Mr.
Lamson paid them visit there was
one question he was sure to ask,
and their answer was always ready.
The other selectmen might pro-
pound geographical or arithmetical
puzzles, but not Mr.. Lamson,. chief
of Bushby's fire brigade.
1t was the closing day of school,
and the children, having listened to
three addresses with drowsy pa
thence, were glad when Mr.. Lamson
rose to conclude the exercises.
'ENow, children" he said cheer
fully, "you have listened most at
tentively to the words of Mr.. Howe.
Mr.. Gray and Mr.. Ranlett. | won
der what you would do if | made
you little speech?"
The shift from the usual question
was so unexpected that the children
answered before they had time to
catch themselves.
Form in line and march quietly
out of the building" they cried in
prompt and joyful chorus.

4 .seman.s Complexion

It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or "local'' treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors The only
safe aud sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat Of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, puriies the
complexion 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle Of August Flower has been
known to cure he most pronounced

HABITS OF SPIDERS.
"Do These Insects SIeep?" Is Not ar
Easy Question to Answer.

The question, do spiders sleep at
nightP is not easy to answer. have
made careful observation of the sleep
of ants, and that could readily be done
by watching colonies in their artificial
formicaries. 1t is almost impossible
to deal with spiders in the same way.
would answer, however, in general
terms that spiders sleep, as all animals
do, and doubtless parts of the night
are spent in slumber. Many species,
however, prey on the night flying in
sects, and so must be awake in order
to catch their prey. If you will watch
the porch or outbuildings of your home
on a summer evening you will be likely
to see an orb weaving spider drop
slowly down on single thread in the
gathering dusk of the evening. From
this beginning a round web will soon
be spun, and either hanging at the
center thereof or in a little nest above
and at one side is the architect, with
forefeet clasping what we call the
strap line" and waiting for some night
flying insect to strike the snare. In
this pOSlClOn spiders VIII SOHetineS
wait for hours, and it is just possible
that they may then take little nap.
They might easily do that and yet not
i lose their game, for the agitation of the
web would rouse the sleeper, and then
it would run down the trap line and Sc
cure it's prey. Some species of spiders
do the chief part of their hunting at
night, and there are some who chiefly
hunt during the day; but, as rule,
these industrious animals work both
day and night.-St. Nicholas.

EYE WINKS.
They Occur on an Average Twenty
Times a Minute.

The average person winks his
eyes every three seconds-that is to
say, twenty times a minute, or 1900
times in an hour. This means that
an ordinary days work for pair OF
eyelids is from $4,000 to 10000
winks. s
A wink lis accomplished in about
one-fiftieth of a second, so quickly
that, as anybody may observe for
himself, it does not in the slightest
degree interrupt continuous vision.
But the notion that winking is in
tended by nature to give repose to
the..eve is a mistake, the object Of
it being merely to keep the surface
of the sensitive little organs con-
stantly moist. The moisture, which
/ is necessary for the health of the
eyes, is supplied, Of course, by the
tears
For this purpose-that is to say,
to keep the eyes continually bathed
considerable quantities of salty
water are secreted. The water is
flowing all the time and would pour
out over the edges Of the eyellds
were it not for an oil which is fur
nished to prevent this. This oil is
secreted and supplied by little
glands along the rims Of the lids.
There is also tear duct, which car
ries off the superfuous water and
gets rid of it.
The mouth of the tear duct is
plainly visible on the edge of the
lower eyeid near the inner corner
of the eve. 1t is a small pipe, which
leads down into the throat, so that
when one puts into the eyes any
thing with a pronounced taste, like
cocaine, the flavor of it is presently
distinguishable in the mouth. &
The eyelids, if closed, are abso-
lutely water tight. They do not ex-
clude light, however, nearly SO we'll
as most people suppose.-Saturday

Suffered For His Chickens.

In London as far back as 1871 city
ordinance was passed to suppress the
early morning cries of the street buck
sters. This law was so severe that a
person arrested twice for the same of
Tense could be imprisoned for ten
years. There is one record of a man

British Fishermen BaIk at the Name

One of the most curious of British
fishermen's superstitions, the one which
perhaps to this day has the strongest
hold upon them, is that connected with
the name of Graham. No fisherman
will go to sea if he has heard this
name mentioned, nor will he do any
manner of work upon that day. He
will refuse to sail in boat with any
one bearing the name, and a house
painter from Newcastle called era

work in one of the large houses, found
his life made so unbearable by the vii

A lady travelling as a first class
passenger was much distressed by
the plight of her valuable young
collie, which at Preston station fell
between the footboard of the train
and the platform. She appealed to
a porter to save, it, and the man
crawled underneath the carriage
and dragged the animal out, al
though the dog bit his hand several
times. Having got her pet safely
in her compartment, the lady re-
