TEMPLES OF MYSTERY.

No Gentle Has Ever Witnessed Ger
 emOnies Performed Therein.
 There is no institution in the civi- lized world to-day which stands for so much of mystery, so much of supersti- tion, so much of iniquity, as the Nor mon temples. There is no institution of which so much that is horrible has been said by its enemies, and so much of praise by it's advocates, writes Ma rian Bonsall in the Housekeeper. Not only has no gentle ever witnessed the ceremonies performed therein, but only such mormons as are in good stand ing in their church. It is in the tenn pies that plural marriages, which have never ceased to be contNacted in the mormon church, are solemniZd for time and for all eternity; it is there that the records of these marriages are hidden, where no geAtile eye may ever behold them; it is there that all gooo mormons are bound by fearsome oaths to give entire allegiance and obedience to Joseph Smith and those who repre- sent him as the living oracle of the church; and if we are to believe the word of the church authorities. who as- sert that the Temple service has never been changed, it is there that Brigham H. Roberts, Reed Smoot, senator, and all mormons who have taken their endowments, have sworn to avenge the blood of the prophet Joseph Smith upon the nation, and to teach the same to their children, and their children's children.
 I found that the element of mystery, which is so vital a part of mormonism, does more to entrap and enslave vic tims for its church, than the combined oratory of all its high priests and bishops, elders and missionaries. That this mystery is ghastly. unwholesome. repulsive in the extreme, makes it spell not the less, but more potent. The mormon church has often been likened to an octopus. which reaches its hor- rible feelers into every state in the union, into Canada and Mexico, and even to the uttermost parts of the earth; which fascinates the ignorant and religious minded as a serpent fas- cinates a bird. and crushing them within it's grasp, draws them to itself and feeds upon them.

Wear Cotton or Linen.

Should wool, cotton or linen be worn next to the skin? Wool has its de votees, who would look on discarding their merino or flannel vest or drawers as q risk of life. Medical opinion has radically changed in recent years, Les lies Weekly says, and now many, if not most, doctors favor cotton or linen next the skin. Wool absorbs perspira- tino and retains it; it absorbs it with difficulty at first, but surrenders it to the surrounding air with even greater difficulty. Cotton, on the other hand, asks only an opportunity to dry, which it does as rapidly as possible. The best plan in cold weather is to wear cotton or linen next the skin, with wool outer clothing. The wool excludes moisture and cold, while the cotton absorbs the precipitation quickly and dries even more quickly. This it does without

MEN ALSO HAVE RIGHTS.

hIan's Breach of Promise Suit Fore
 shadows Penalties for Women. If women are to have the rights that men enjoy, with those rights, it may be. will go certain penalties, the New York Telegraph says. It may even be perilous for woman to change her mind about the important question of matrimony. Leicester M. Pond. an architect of Spokane, Wash. has brought suit against Miss Bessie Kelley, described as a prominent so- ciety bud" of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. MT. Pond used to live in Poughkeepsie, and he and Miss Kelley belonged to the same tennis club, and, according to his sworn statement, became en- gagged on June 2, 1908. Then MT. Pond moved to Spokane and established him. self as an architect. The date for the wedding was fixed for June 22. 1909, and on April 26 preceding the date their engagement was announced.
 Mir. Pond left Spokane on June 10, 1909, for Poughkeepsie and arrived there a week later. Miss Kelley asked to have the wedding postponed, and, Pond consenting. it was put off until October of last year. He went back to Spokane and in July received letter from Miss Kelley telling him the en- gagement was broken and there would be no wedding.
 After thinking the matter over for some time MT. Pond brought suit against Miss Kelley for $25,000.
 (N. B-Miss Kelley has no money, but her father has millions.)
 In his complaint MT. Pond declares that he spent S2.500 in preparing for the wedding and that he wishes the balance because of mental grief, morti- fcation, humiliation, ridicule and con- tempt of business associates.
 If a woman is entitled to damages for these things, is not a man also? Are they not both on the same level? The outcome of the suit may make g precedent.

two children were admitted by the
 inspectors, but one member of the fam
 fly, boy six years old, was found to
 have a disease of the scalp, and under
 the laws was ordered to be deported.
 The despair of the parents and the
 grief of the other children were so pitt
 ful that it was finally decided to keep
 the little boy under observation and
 treatment for time, provided that the
 father pay the expenses. The rest of the family went west. The father ob-
 tained work at $500 a week. Of this sum he sent $500 a week to New York to pay for the board and treatment of the sick boy. The family lived on the other $200 until, the other day, the missing member of the little circle was discharged as cured and restored to his parents. There is much talk in this country of the wonderful progress which immigrants make; of their sue cess, and the speed with which they reach circumstances of comfort and even of affluence. Does not the explar nation lie in just such cases as this? A popular magazine recently printed an article about an Italian who lived on twenty-six cents a day ;and every where in any city of the United States, it is possible to see men from the Old World who are daily living examples to Americans in thrift, industry and persistence. There are thousands of farms in the United States abandoned by Americans who failed to make a living there, and now occupied by Ital- ians, Swedes, Russians and other Euro peans, who are making good incomes. The land is the same, and there has been no added outlay of capital. The only difference is in plain, old-fashion- ed character. The ability to work, and the willingness to endure privations, forego pleasures and disregard the de- mands of fashion-these are the quail ties that are putting newcomers to. this country on the highroad to power. The process is not patented, and there is no discrimination against those who are not immigrants.

Served Her Night.

It seems pity to attempt to point out the moral of the following story, for it's lesson so much depends on the experience of the individual reader: A gentleman, says writer in the Phila- delphia Inquirer, wished to make his wife a present of lace scarf. but had no desire to pay an extravagant price.
 "I want you to buy a new lace scarf for Cousin Amelia" he said to his wife. Choose something nice-some- thing you would get for yourself"
 The wife, however. had her own ideas as to generosity in buying pres ents, and the purchase, when she made it, consisted of very simple article.
 "H'mi" said the husband. "Is that what you would have chosen for your. self?"
 Exactly" she replied.
 Well, my dear, keep it. I meant il for you!" he exclaimed, with an amia, ble smile.

Clorinda was as black as night and of heroic proportions, but in every possible way she copied her slender young mistress, for whom she had a great admiration. "I like to look jes' as much like you as l can," she often said, a "'cause you locks jes like . lady orter look, Mis- Hend'so
 Clorinda entrusted all her shopping to Mrs. Henderson, and scorned the bright colors and pronounced styles affected by her own friends. One day she asked her mistress to buy her a pair of low shoes. As she made the request. she glanced wi.h admiration at the slim little foot showing beneath the edge of dainty skirt.

ELECTRICITY IN BIBLE TIMES.
SpecuIntiOns Which Explain Mira

specuIntionS Which Explain Mira
 cIes by Supporting It's Uxe.
 An electrical engineer of Munich named Stadenmann makes an ingen- ious argument to prove that the Jews fin the time of Moses had an advanced knowledge of electricity, using pas sages from the Bible to enforce his claim, says the Boston Globe.
 His theory of the famed serpent of bronze is that it was a lightning con ductor and he also says that the tenn al joints connected with the ground.
 The most ingenious specuiation is in regard to the Ark of the Covenant. which was made of walls of wood GOV cred on both sides with metal. If this were connected with the metal teeth on the temple roof it would form sort of Leyden jar charged with the electricity of the atmosphere and would give a shock to anyone touch ing it.
 Mir Stadenmann presumes that Moses gained his knowledge of cleo tricity from the Egyptians. This an cient race certainly had a knowledge of Ilany branches of science that it took the rest of the world thousands of years to learn. But the only proof that they were electrical engineers is one recently advanced by an archaolo- igst-that they must have had electric lights because their underground tenn ples show no traces of smoke.

In this cil- mate, where houses and offices are gen erally overloaded in winter and the transition from indoors to outdoors is attended by a far greater change in temperature than in milder eli mates, where the houses are not kept as hot as they are in America, it is better to wear cotton or linen under clothes and to rely upon heavy outer garments to resist the cold air.

There must be beautiful associations that cluster about the pew in church in which a woman has sat from girl hood to womanhood. A cabinet maker discovered this some time ago, when he bought the pews in an old church that was to be torn down. He secured the names of the families which had occupied the pews, made bookcases, tables, chairs and writing desks of the wood, and offered them for sale to the original pewholders. Every family was delighted with his thoughtfulness and every one bought the articles he had made.

Chey Return 10 Oregon After Forty
 Years Imprisonment.
 The Modoc Indians in Oklahoma are going home-not to the lava beds in California, whence they were taken to the Quapaw Indian reservation nearly forty years ago, but to the Klamath reservation of the Modocs in Oregon, where they will get land in exchange for their allotments in Oklahoma, the Kansas City Times says
 The Modocs have been homesick ever since they went to Oklahoma, and their return to the Northwest is the result of their constant appeal to the author ities at Washington.
 The remova. of the Modocs to Okla homa followed their defeat after their bloody campaign against government troops in the lava beds, where they were commanded by Capt. Jack. They assassinated and butchered all except two of the peace commission sent to them by the Secretary of War. When the Modocs reached Oklahoma | there were thirty-nine men, fifty-four women and sixty children, many of
  them were such notable leaders as Scarfaced Charley, Steamboat Frank and Shacknasty Jim. Age and disease have cut down the Modocs until only sixty remain. Nearly all their old leaders have died.
 Tn going to the Klamath country, from which they fled when they en- tered the lava beds in California, these Modocs will be among the Klamath Modocs. whom they thoroughly hate and despise because of the arrogance of the Klamath band.
 The Oklahoma Modocs were moved from California to Oregon, only to have their Oregon kinsmen say to them:
 You can stay here, but it is our country. Your horses can eat the grass, but it is our grass. You can catch fish, but they are our fish"
 This was more than Capt. Jack and his people could bear, and they stole away and returned to their old haunts in California When the Federal gov ernment tried to make them go back to Oregon the Modocs began fighting and sought refuge in the inaccessible lava beds.
 A commission was sent to treat with them. The commission established its camp about two miles from the retreat of the Modocs. in the lava beds, and midway was pitched a tent at which the council should be held.
 No sooner had the commissioners as- sembled in the tent than they found that death was at hand. Capt. Jack suddenly shot Gen. Canby, adviser of the commissioners. Rev. Ebenezer Thomas, a commissioner, also was slain and his body robbed and muti- lated. Two of the commissioners es- capped.
 The United States government then put large body of troops in the field. and the Modocs were pursued night and day until they surrendered, Oct. 9. 1873. Capt. Jack. Black Jim, Bos- ton Charley and Schronchin Jim were hanged at Fort Klamath, Ore, for the murder of Canby and Thomas. Soon afterward the California Modocs were taken to Indian Territory

Experiments in wireless telegraphy Ire now at a standstill, according to a writer in the Electrical World, and the wonderful things which were ex- pected are not likely to be realized in the near future. Occasionally articu- late speech is transmitted a long dis tance by Hertz waves. and the invent org are greatly encouraged. This sue cess may be followed by a complete failure when conditions are apparent ly the same. and then science is baf- fled. Frequently there is serious inter- ference from wireless stations. More over, the nature and expense of the apparatus-the Hertz wave generator and the upright wire-are such that wireless telephony can hardly come into general use, even if the present difficulties of transmission are over come. Thus far wireless telephony is a fascinating toy for scientific men, but the day seems far distant when it will be placed on q commercial basis and made feature of everyday life, as has been done with wireless tele- graphy-

It may surprise American readers to know that this country, in spite of its enormous production of wheat, has for the second time been surpassed by Russia, which last year raised 46,- OOO,000 bushels more than the United States. There has been an increase in wheat production all over the world. The latest crop was nearly one-fifth larger than that of 1908; but the re- cent Russian crop is the greatest ever produced by any one country.
