GER SUNSHINE.

We have great deal of glorious
sunshine in Utah during these days,
but few, perhaps realize the value OF
z tho life-giying power that is poured
out In every ray of sun. Not only
are these rays the enemies OF the
deadly microbes that thrive in the
dark but they actually stimulate the
forces of life into higher activity.
Many dread the heat. They seek the
shade, They hunt cool places. They
arc particularly afraid of letting q
little sunshine Into their dwellings.
This is all mistake,
a Los Angeles supant. Prof. Henry
Carruthes. has just pointed out that
sunshine is indispensableIto plant life
The plant, ho says, has certain cells
specially adapted for the purpose Of
receiving and assimilIting the light.
Similar cells he claims to have dis
covered in the human body, although
( he asserts that in many cases they are
atrophied, and unless put to the use
for which they were designed, Will
soon disappear absolutely. His advice,
therefore Is.
" Don't dodge. the sun instead Of al

THE sIGEL TRAGEDY.

y Elsie sigel was the victim. She was
done away with, 1t is supposed, by a
Chinese Sunday school pupil, pro-
tossed convert to Christianity
One portion of the press has taken oc-
casion to descant upon Chinese deprav-
ity, without stopping to reflect upon
the lanentable fact that such tragedies
\ are not confined to any one race. 1t is
not known for certain whether Leon

men was obvious. And he. demanded

struck, the congregation forthwith
closed the school, In view of such
facts, young girls should not be en-
gagged in missionary work as Miss sigel
was 1t Is not safe
The Sigel case Is, unfortunately, not
the only one of its kind. Nine years
ago young teacher in Philadelphia
was found lifeless from the effects of
opium. She had given her time to
the instruction of Chinese pupils for
a year, She WAS only nineteen years of
age and she was member of tho Re-
formed Episcopal Church A graduate
Of the High School fol. Girls, she was
Interested in teaching. The class for
cinnamon was established with this
sirl in charge. That she might better
know the people whom she wished to
help. their lives aud their customs, the
young missionary sought to obtain BY
her own observation the knowledge
which was to aid her in her chosen
i work. She freduented, IN company
with her Chinese friends, the haunts
OF the Chinese But one morning the
police were notified that a girl WAS dS.-
ing IN the neighborhood. She was found
by the police in an unconscious condi-
tion, breathing irrcgularly. She was
taken TO the Hahnemann hospital

inquest the coroneiss jury returned a

come to her death from the effects Of

Never having settled that question
entirely to my own satisfaction, par
ried it with another: How do you
get dog, if you want one?"
''W-w-w- why" answered the eldes,
son, wiping the tears from his eyes
'.if any one wants a dog, he tells some
one else, and they give him one. But
