BLOSSOM TIME AT BRIGHAM.

1@OOSO"f - SfhA0ftRHNs
Try and remember this, as the season
advances.
About a month ago good Brigham
woman said to visitor from Salt Lake:
You should be here in blossom time.
You have been here when the peaches
are ripe, but you never came when the
peaches or the apples were in bloom.
You should be here then. There is
nothing more wonderful in the world.
The whole OF the region around Brig
ham City is perfumed by the blossoms.
The air Is full Of IL, and along toward
evening. when the dews are falling,
then the air is heavy with odors be-
yond any possible description"
It Is a suggestion OF value. We all

BUT THE GIRL MAY NOT SMILE.

The young fellow comes along the
street as free as an elk in the woods. He
looks where he pleases, at whom he
pleases. He has a right to be inter-
ested iH the windows, and to rubber
at incidents in the street. He may grin
ct the comments of his friend, or laugh
out loud at whatever much amuses him.
But the girl may not smile.
She must go along the street without
seeing anything. How she manages
TO keep from meeting the syes of the
people she doesn't know. and yet greets
her acquaintance with bow and a
gracious lighting of feature-just a lit
tie this side OF smile-is one of the
other things which no fellow can FIND
out But she does. She has to.
And II you think she doesn't see
things that are funny. you are wrong

tainiy must not do It Is to meet the
eyes Of the men she doesn't know-sven
when they interest her-and let the nat
ural workings Of her mind be reflected
in the expression of her face. That
simply will not be permitted.
1t is pretty hard law for the girl.
And it doth not yet appear how she
does It.

Conscience Versus Art.

Shortly after Tennyson's poem "The
Vision of Sin" appeared an eminent
mathematician sent the poet a letter
that ran like this;
Dear Sir--I dnd In recent poem OF
yours, entitled The Vision Of Sin,
the following unwarranted statement:
Every moment dies a man, and every
moment one Is born need hardly
point out that this calculation. II cor
rect, would tend to keep the sum total
Of the worlds population in state Of
perpetual equipoise, whereas 1t is an
established fact that the said popula-
ton is constantly on the increase. l
would therefore suggest that In the
next edition of this poem the erroneous
calculation TO which l refer should be
corrected as follows; Every moment
dies n man, and one and q sixteenth is
born may add that the exact fig
ures are i.lGI. but something must, of
course, be conceded to the laws OF
