An Apt Mathematician.

Last week we published list of
questions compiled for the quarterly
teachers examinations and to each of
the mathematical problems submitted
Mr.. Jesse Rice who lives about two
and a half miles east of town, has
sent in what we believe to be a cor
rect solution. Mr.. Rice is perhaps
the best mathetician in this vicinity
and should be in a position where he
can put this talent to greater use.

Poisonous water.

Water that has once been heated
or that has stood any length of time
in the kettle, cannot be made to boi
as quickly as freshly drawn cold wa.
ter. If this fact were fully appreciated
1t would have more weight with
housekeepers as an argument against
using water that has stood over night
than numerous homilies on the un-
healthfulness of stale water. Fresh
water is living, and water that has
been boiled, or allowed to stand long
absorbing gases and heat, is either
dead or poisoned, so it is easier to
boil fresh water than stale or dead
water.
For drinking purposes, water
should be boiled, bottled Immediately
and fastened tight. When cool, lay
the bottles on the ice. 1t will be
found superior to ice water on all
occasions.
In connection with the subject of
water there is one peculiar property
of that liquid with which every one
should be made acquainted, and that
is, its capacity for absorbing impuri-
ties, which it increases proportionate-
ly the colder it gets. Hence, water
that has stood in an insufficiently
ventilated sleeping room all night is
not only unpleasant, but is injurious
to drink, since 1t readily absorbs the |
poisonous gases given off by respira-
ion and the action of the skin An
ordinary pitcher of water, under such
at a temperature of 60
legrees, will be found to have arsorb-
ID during the night from pint to
lint and half of carbonic acid gas,
nd an increase of ammonia. Ice
water is an Objectionable drink at all
ines, but if it is INDUCED in, the YES
ell containing it should never be left
uncovered in sleeping or sitting
ooms, because at freezing point its
apacity for absorbing these deleter- I
us substances is nearly doubled. - /,

New York Trying to Stop the Race


Denver, March w. O. Stillman
of Albany, N. Y. has appealed to the
governors of Colorado, Wyoming and
Utah by letter to enforce the laws
and prevent the carrying out of the
plan for an endurance horse race
from Ogden, Ueth, to Denver, a dis
lance of over 600 miles.
These exhibitions Mr.. Stillman
says in his letter to Gov. Henry A..
Buchtel of Colorado "are little bet
ter than the bull fights which we. are
prone to condemn in the Mexicans,
and give color to the feeling which
exists in many parts of the country
that the myriads Of livestock which
are allowed to perish from starva-
tion and exposure on the northwest
ern ranges are allowed to go toatheir
fate with brutal Indifference to
their agony and sufferings on the
part of those who should be held re-
sponsible for them
Governor Buchtel has not vet sig
nified whether or not he will take
any action in regard to the proposed
race.-Salt Lake Tribune.

Veighborhood Notes.

among which was one to multiply
and replenish the earth. The Lord
attached no penalty to this command
ment in case it should not be COM
piled with. Man might have remain
ed here throughout the endless ages
of eternity without fulfilling this
command and yet been innocent in
the sight of God. But God did give
one commandment which If broken
must be accompanied with the penal
| ty of death. What was this command
ment? 1t was not to partake of the
tree of acknowledge of good and evil
without incuring the death penalty.
In other words, 1t meant that If
Adam and Eve obtained knowledge
of good and evil they must pay for
this experience with their lives. What
did God say about man after the fall
Gen. 1922. Again, was the Lord
angry with Adam and Eve when they
did violate his scripture
does not say. that He was. 1t tells
us, that the Lord spoke to the SER
pent, the woman, and the man stat
ing what should befall each He
even made promise that the seed of
the woman should overcome the SER
pent. Was this not a promise that
the Savior who was prepared before
the foundation of the world should
come and have power over Satan.
Does not this correspond with the
promise set forth in Eph. IA; and
also of the promise of eternal life
which God had promised before the
world began as recorded by Titus 1:2.
But says our opponent, you are max
ing the Lord responsible for the fall
of Adam by saying that He gave
commandment which they could not
fulfill without violating law. We
answer so He is and we'll did He un-
derstand the work in hand by having
His only begotten Son as
for sin even before the !
world was made, and man appeared
In the garden of Eden. Yet our op-
ponent says: Woe to such doctrines,
who dares accuse the Lord of such
inconsistency" In answer we quote
Eph. 1:4-5. Having predestined us
unto the adoption of children by
Jesus Christ to Himself, according to
he good pleasure of His will" This
we assert Is undisputable proof that.
God intended that man should fall
Is he did and thus become subject
% a most glorious redemption
through Christ which would other
wise have been impossible had he
orever remained in a sinless state
n the garden of Eden.
We believe that to know good from
,vil with chance of obtaining eter-
lal life through Christ is preferable
o knowing neither good nor evil but
forever in an unsaved, yet
innocent state of existence.
Elder Hammond called attention S
o a misquotation from the Book of c
lormon in Alma 7th chap. Bro. c

of the Bible. He said t
hat the Bible says that Christ shall

Henry Wadsworth LongfeIlow.
by RODERTUS LOVE.
Ripe schoLa,-
and pet Of the
people.

Y ONGFELIOW has been called by
n critic "thc poet Of the com
monplace." Some friends of the
beloved American poet have re
scented this characterization, but others
have accepted it with thanks to the
critic. These latter hold that it is
glory enough for a poet to gorify the
commonplace, to see and express the
beauty of siIupIc things as Longfeiiow
has done.
Henry WadSWorth l.ougfcIfow was Il
ripe scholar, one of the best educated
men of his time He WAS reader of
many litcratures i'll many languages.
Much of his work consists of tranSla-
tons from other tongues, the poet put
ting into simple and lucil English
verse the thoughts of other men, but
introducing also much of the person
aity of the translator BY far the
larger bulk of his writings is original,
and much of this work is diStinctivcly
of American flavor and inspiration.
Longfcllow in "IIiavatha" produced
the first great Amrri an poem of epic
length and treatment. In this work
the poet brought the neglected and de
SpSed American Indian for the first
time into poetic literature. He per
ccivcd and gave expression to the TO
nance of the aborigine.
But it is by his brirfcr poems, the
lyrical pieces, that LongfcIloW is best
known to the great mass of the people.
The Psalm of Life" h2S passed into
current speech THE ChiIdrcm's Hour"
The Bridge ''The Arsenal at Spring
field" and Il score of lyrics in simple
and tender strain have become Il part
of the life of English speaking people
everywhere. In the sonnet, one of the
most artistic forms of poetic express
sion, LongfelOw still stands unSur
passed in American literature.
Other poets have arisen in America,
some few of whom have shown a high
cr genius i'll creative work, but Long
fellow, the kindly Old Harvard profess
OF, the poet of The Village Black
rmith," remains, when all is said and
done, the most widely popular of
American poets, not only on this side
of the Atlantic, but across the sea as
well. Longfcllow was the peoples poet
because he wrote so luCilly that the
people could understand and appre-
late. because he made the common
place poetic.

Who Profits ?

Politicians manage municipal affairs
in such a way that their own interests
are cared for first and public service
is only minor and subsidiary feature.
Money collected from taxpayers is
spent for the benefit of the gang" in
stead of for that of the people, and the
consequence is that enterprises con
Quoted by the city are invariably not
merely i'll managed, but enormously
expensive.
There is no reason to hope that this
state of affairs will be changed so long
as human nature remains what 1t Is,
and therefore the people will not be
likely in their sober senses to intrust
any public utility that can safely be
left in the hands of private enterprise
to any city government-Chica Jour

NEW ZEALAND'S RAILWAYS.
Keen Financial Analysis by Professor
lie Rossignol of Denver.

lie nOSSlSnOl OF OSnNeT.
A recent issue of Moody's Maya
zine contains a thorough analysis of
New Zealand Railway Finance by
Professor J. f. lie Rossignol of the
University of Denver. The writer
points out that the New Zealand gov
"borrows money at 3.75 per cent and
latterly at per cent for the mainte-
nance of railways which earn less
than $50 per cent upon the capital
cost, and this yearly deficit of over
2.25 per cent must ultimately fall up
on the taxpayers"
Commenting on tabular exhibit of
the finances, Professor lie Rossignol
says:
From these figures it is clear that
the capital cost of the roads had in
creased out Of all proportion to the in
crease in mileage, that the working ex-
penses have increased much faster
than the gross earnings and that the
net loss in ten years has amounted to
the enormous sum of f4,3SO, 147. or
more than $21,000,OOO, and this in
time of great prosperity, which can
not be expected to last forever"
After showing that fares average
about the same as in this country the
service Is described as follows:
There are no night trains, and the
service on most of the lines is rather
infrequent The best service in New
Zealand is that between Christchurch
and Dunedin, where there are two eX-
press trains daily, travelling at speed
Of twenty-five miles an hour. On most
of the other lines express trains travel
from fifteen to twcnty-Onc miles an
hour and ordinary trains from ten to
fourteen miles an hour"
The author goes into considerable
detail in regard to freight rates, which
he considers to a-c"age about five
most serious charge against the man
agement is that it lends itself to polit-
zeal uses:
Politics has had altogether too much
to do with the construction of roads,
the appointment and promotion of Off
ci3ls, the frequency Of service, the fix
ing of rates and the departmental adj
miniStration In general. Railways have
frequently been built for the sake Of
securing votes rather than traffic and
business has been so often subOrdinat-
ed to politics that it is no wonder that
the net returns are political rather
than financial in their character"
