SUCCESS IN ART.

The success of few Utah art STU
dents has been recorded in the city
press, as we'll as in these columns;
but it seems that we have not yet
come to that period of DEVELOPMENT
in taste and knowledge regarding art
that we can refrain from being daz-
zled by young mems and women's
feats of mere technique while at the
threshold of incipient careers. Still it
is not to be expected that they should
yet be able to produce works OF
weight and vital force, or of origin.
atty and inspiration, and their begin
nings, of course, are all worthy of
commentator Too much praise of
students and debuntantes, however,
is not always conducive to continued
DEVELOPMENT, and should be avoided
for their own good and their adj
vancements in the progressive STAN
dards and requirements of an exact
ing art. But the praiseworthy efforts
which the young men referred to have
exhibited show them to be of the
stuff of which artists are made, and
their initial successes should spur

them on to greater endeavor than
ever, as they have already created
greater interest in art and its pos
sibilities in the breasts of others.
Originality in artists is not to be
had merely for the aspiring thereto
One artist should not care to make his
own of what another has disdained,
thinking that thus he might make
himself original, for the chances are
he would be found to be only trivial.
The great innovators of former times
studied hard and long in the schools
that were open to them, and whose
precepts they afterward departed
from; though even they kept in a
measure to the traditions which had
been handed down to them. Schools,
however, cannot deprive student of
originality if he possesses it; but
thorough training and years of study
are essential to its finished execu-
ton. Correct observation of human
nature, sound reason and scientific
knowledge are likewise necessary re-

in which substance and the evidence

wealth in which he lived. The people
whose head and front he was had &C
companied him to an out-of-the-
place where for many years there
was no such thing as wealth and the
struggle through hard to comfort

after, tip to the close of his career,
there were always those who were in
want. some much more so than some
others. as is the case in every COM

Among civilized people, certain lines

aMIRAcLEg WHEAT

The miracle or Alaska wheat. re.
puted to have yielded for an Idaho
farmer at the rate OF 222 bushels per
acre, had brief but brilliant course.
Skepticism was expressed in many
quarters and voiced IN these notes re.
specting the reliability OF the claims
made for this remarkable wheat. These
soubts have been verified by an au-
thentic investigation by Professor Fl.
liott. head Of the agricultural depart
ment OF the Washington State college.

who foisted this mares nest on the

How to Wash Silk.

In washing silk there are four things
which must be avoided, and they are
soap, heat rubbing and wringing.
Have the water lukewarm. Make n
lather with n little dissolved soap IL
the garment is dirty. II the article
Is not soiled much, use bran water.
Don't ever allow soap in lump to
come In contact with silk. Take one
end Of the article and swish 1t around
and around until 1t is clean. Rinse it
In cold water TO which vinegar has
been added. Add one tablespoonful OF
vinegar to one quart of water Place
the garment between dry cloths and
squeeze, preferably between n wiring
er. Then shake well to get rid of all
super6uous moisture and iron at once

iron.

applied TO the surface OF the entire

hands and feet in as hot water as can
be borne and drink a glass OF hot milk
or a cup Of hot cocoa or chocolate.
This rarely fails TO bring relief.

How to Keep Things Cold Without Ice.

An ingenious woman has devised
plan for having good, cold milk and
butter without ice. 1t is a homemade
dairy or pantry, so cheap and success
full that any housewife who has plenty
OF water can have one with very little
work. Make n frame. any size, but
strong enough to carry n tub of water
on top, and cover the frame with hes
Sian or sacking. Put a tub on top and
I'LL 1t with water and put wooden
strips two ana three inches wide in II
so that they feed the water down and
keep the sacking wet all the time The
air blowing through the wet sacks
Keeps everything almost as cool as If
1t were in n refrigerator, and the but
ter and milk taste better than If it
were shut from the air. Moreover, It
Will keep fresh much longer In this
dairy. An old blanket makes the best
feeding strips. Put In enough to have
three oil. four to each side. The prin-
ciple is that of the water bag, and we
all know how cool the water is kept
in the soaked canvas.

In an address which Secretary VIII
son Of the department Of agriculture
recently made at the Iowa state fair
he presented statistics which showed
that In spite OF steady and rapid de
pletion OF the soil in many sections OF
the country the average crop yield for
the past ten years was greater I'm the
case OF most cereals than It was in the
decade between 1860 and 1870. which
seems to mean that the Inauguration Of
scientific methods, including crop rota-
tion, has more than counterbalanced
the disadvantage OF an extensive deple-
ton OF original soil fertility.
