Northern literature was very largely des-
troyed when Christianity became predomin-
ant, lust as Christian literature was consigned
to the flames by the victorious but fanatical
followers of Mohannned Christian teachers
taught their northern converts that to preserve
their literature and traditions was not per-
mtted, because the gods of mythology were
devils and demons, and only the bravest OF
men dared to disobey those teachings In Ice
land many of the old literary productions were
preserved, owing to the patriotic, independent
spirit that found refuge there. There Morse,
Scotch and Irish settled, who preferred in
dependence to slavery under political or re-
hgious tyranny They abandoned their royal
titles and family estates, and made their
homes in one Of the most barren islands in the
north. Being geographically isolated in that
island, they were able to remain true to the
character of their ancestors; and also to hand
down to posterty some of their civil and re-
hgious laws, and historical records.
According to one of these records, Odin
had son named Skjolder. He and his inn
mediate descendants were the rulers of Goth
land Skoder's son was Frideif, which
means lover of peace" His son was Frodi.
This Frodi is said to have succeeded his
father to the throne at the time of the birth
of Christ, when Emperor Augustus had es-
tabshed peace in the world. During this
period of peace" we are told in the northern
records, mo one would do another any hurt
Even the one who would meet his fathers
bane, or his brothers bane whether free or in
fettcrs, would leave him unharmed Neither
was there any thief, for no one would pick
up gold ring even though he found it lying
on the ground
Whether tins is historically accurate or not
it certainly has an historical basis. And it
suggests to lis to look forward to the Second
Advent for complete and lasting universal
peace.
This is the greatest present need of huma
nifty. We are told that the wars of the past
century cost the human family 100000
young lives whose yearly productive power
may be valued at Po,2GO,OOO,oOO. AS long as
the world permits such enormous waste of
life and property, it must be the scene of
poverty and misery, dissatisfaction, strife,
revolutions, crime, and anarchism. The cure
of all such ills is peace, with the resultant
good will to men. AS stated by recent
magazine writer, 1T is a mighty travesty for
men to celebrate with high religious demon
stration the coming into this world of Prince
of Peace whose message is good will to men,
while menacing and provoking each other by
battleships and armies at an annual expense of
hundreds of millions of dollars, which inn
pose burdens of crushing weight upon the
/ common lot of man.
But the day of peace is dawning The song
| of the angels is again heard by the shepherds

CHURCH TEACHERS COLLEGE

20 people whose faith makes intel
ligence and salvation only different as
poets of the same sou-statlts, it would
be an anomaly not to give foremost attention
to education. As matter of fact the Prophet
Joseph was the first among the Latter-day
Saints to establish collegiate courses of study
Long before the community itself could
support even high school, the Prophet
established for himself and his brethren
the "School of Prophets where Greek
and Hebrew were among the studies
pursued. That his successor has some
times been credited with contempt for human
learning was probably due to his unsparing
criticism of certain barren systems of educa-
ton which have since practically passed away.
Brigham Young believed that education
should fit men first for social service in this
world, and secondly, for eternal life, and had
little use for mere scholasticism. That he
was, however, eager to advance the cause of
higher education, is evident from the fact that
as Governor of Utah, he established the
Deseret University now the University of
Utah, and was the founder of the Brigham
Young University at Provo, and of the Brig
ham Young College at Logan
His successors in the Presidency have built
upon this foundation, until at present the
Latter-day Saints have a system of Church
schools that is the admiration of all who study
it. At the apex of this system is Church
Teachers College, fittingly centered i'll the
Brigham Young University, for it was here
that DR.. Karl G.. Maeser impressed most
strongly the genius which has since shaped the
Church school system.
The need of Church Teachers College
must seem imperative to every Latter-day
Saint, by moments reflection. The present
is fast becoming the era of high schools.
Reading, writing, and arithmetic no longer
suffice for common education, as they did
generation ago Nor is the training of the
eighth grades sufficient, though it is a very
great advance over the three RS. The senti-
ment is fast crystalizing that high school
education is the birthright of every American
boy and girl. Our own people are especially
swift in coming to this mental attitude.
For the work of preparing grade teachers
the Church schools are well equipped, and
have been for several years. For the prepara-
ton of teachers for academies and high
schools, the system is yet somewhat handi-
capped and it is to meet this fast growing
demand, that the General Board of Education
founded the Church Teachers College.
The value of having, in secondary schools,
teachers of high moral and spiritual ideals,
must be self-evident, when one remembers
that whatever else teacher may impart, he
never fails to impart himself.
1t is TO be hoped therefore that parents
throughout Zion will keep this thought in
view, when preparing their sons and daugh-
ters for the higher activities in life
The Church Teachers College is not the
school of any one Stake, OF of any number
of Stakes in Zion. AS before stated, it is the
present apex of the Church School system,
and must draw its support and patronage
equally from all the Stakes of Zion.

Chicago. the first American city to hold

making the experiment of an outdoor
exhibition. The display was held Ill

been the first outdoor sculpture eXhibi

lous societies co-Cperated. the Field Co
lumbian museum lent number OF
groups from the late but not lamented
COIumhitn exposition, and the sculp-
tors of Chicago and the west contrib
uted generously of their works. Pass

In New York somewhat similar
experiment was tried in connection
with the recent annual exhibition of

Albuquerque Notes.

Albuquerque, N. M., Sept. 2. There are now nearly sixty li- censed automobiles in Albuquer- que, and it is expected that large number of machines will be in the city from outside towns during the Fair. The Association will turn out with gaily decorated machines and a guard of honor to President Taft on Taft Day" and will fur nish one more gorgeous feature of the tremendous ovation planned for the nations chief executive while he is in Albuquerque.
 Plans are being made for a good roads meeting with the governor and territorial engineer and other experts during the Fair. Every man who is interested in better territorial highways, and conse- quently easier travel and better business, should be at tht Fair and help along the good work.
 A series of automobile races and exhibition runs at the Trac- ton Park track during the Fair is being planned. Automobile races are a new thing in the south west, and such a series at the Fair is bound to prove one of the most popular events in the splendid program of sports and amuse- ments.

OF INTEREST ID OLD SOLDIERS
Or Their Heirs Certain Old Soldiers Have Land Claims Coming to
 Them from the Government

Any old Union soldier or sailor who served ninety days or longer in the late war of the rebellion, and who went west after the war and made a homestead entry in any state in the Union, for either forty, eighty or one hundred and twenty acres, before June 23, 1874, has a claim coming to him from the government.
 It does not make any difference whether he proved up on his home- stead entry or simply left it.
 There were thousands of old soldiers who went to Kansas and Nebraska after the war and took up So-acre homesteads, and when the grasshoppers and hot winds came along, simply left their en- tries and went back east. Each of these men have claims.
 Under a supreme court decis- ion these claims are assignable.
 Fen s. Hildreth, of Phoenix, Arizaua, periects the title to these claims and will pay the highest market price for same.
 If the soldier is dead, the widow or heirs can sell their right.
 If a soldier never made an en- try, he has nothing to sell.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, aS they cannot reach the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constltu- t.onal remedies. Deafness is caused by an iu- famed condition Of the mucous lining Of Gne Nstachian Tube. When this tube is infamed YOU have a rumblng sound or imperfect hear ing. and when it Is entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's nor mal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca tarrh. which Is nothing but an infamed con diti Of the mucous surface.

PECULIAR FREAK 0F NATURE. Phenomena of Raising More Chickens Than Eggs Set is Solved by
 Two Faneiers.

Freaks of Nature are not always freaks, when delved into by sci entihc mind. For instance, Frank Conrad secured a special setting of fancy eggs of V. V. Morino, some weeks ago. There were IS eggs in the setting, and MT. Con- rad secured I6 chickens, with two bad eggs left in the nest. There was a mystery that made wise heads ache over the discussion as to how it all happened. Double yolk eggs were highly praised and discussed as valuable product which would revolutionize the chicken business. It was evident for time that feathers were scarce on opposite sides of certain chickens, which indicated the double-polk twins, and there were other evidences of a like character, for instance sne chicken was left handed, another was black, when it should have been white, like all the rest of it's folks,
 There were many consultations over this phenomena, and the case was not settled until Mrs. Conrad was called into consultation. The explanation seemed reasonable and was accepted. She said that a neighbor had given her the three extra chicks and she had put them in with the others when they were about the same age. And then she smiled.

The Fashions in Hosiery.

The woman who has sufficient money to be well and fashionably dressed is most careful to have her hosiery match the color of her gown, says Grace Margaret Gould in Woman's Home Com panion for September. For in- stance, if she is wearing a broad cloth costume in a raisin hat, her stockings are of just the same shade, with the instep elaborately embroidered in self-color. How ever with an evening gown of white lace or chiffon she may wear white silk stockings embroidered in any of the delicate pastel shades, such as blue, cameo-pink or deli cate yellow. For the woman of average means the black lisle- thread or silk stockings are always in good taste to wear with an af- ternoon or evening gown. Either plain or embroidered in black, they are equally in good style.
 However, the girl who is go- ing to any evening entertainment, where she plans to wear a white gown with perhaps a sash of rib bons of some light shade, such as baby blue or pink, may have her stockings the same color as her sash, rather than black, if she so chooses. Either one is fashion able"
