The Moon and Timber.

II may be asked in all seriousness
how much longer the superstition will
live which ascribes to the moon an
influence over timber? This unset
entific and improbable claim has long
held a place In the backwoods, where
people we're prone to accept the teach
ings OF tradition without much con-
Germ about cause and effect; but Il
is rather late In the day now for edu-
Gated people to attribute to the dead,
inert moon an influence on vegetation.
II there Is anything certain It IL
that the moon has no observable effect
on the now Of trees sap or ON the
characters and qualities of the wood.
1t can be argued scientifically that
It cannot have. and 1t has been dem.
onstrated In practice that 1t does not
have such effect. Apparently there Is
some mistake In the statement that
the telling 10 done by moonlight, or
with regard to any phase of the moon.
Accounts Of modern mahogany-logging
operations In America and Africa do
not mention that custom. In some Of
the tropical regions hauling logs from
the woods Is done at night because the
heat by day cannot be endured by the
men and teams.-Hardwood Record.

HOG CHOLERA

Utah Breeders

urges the farmers Of Logan and
Cache valley to have investigated at
once any signs Of illness among their
hogs. This, he says, is of great
importance to prevent the spreading
Of hog cholera to this section OF the
state.
Hog cholera has caused unlimited
loss both north and west of Logan
and is still evident in sections on all
sides of Cache valley. There is rea-
son to believe that the disease might
possibly spread into this section and
unless owners Of animals whose hogs
show signs Of sickness have an III.

KEEP UP THE OLD CUSTOMS
Curious Practices That Have Long
Prevailed In Two ArIstoeratie
London Banks.

A New York banker who spends
much time abroad and has recently re-
turned was speaking the other day
about the amalgamation Of the two old
private banking houses OF London,
Coutts and Robarts, and OF some OF
the queer customs which still prevail
in them and doubtless will be carried
over to the merged institution.
From time immemorial the owners
Of Coutts's bank have insisted that
mustaches and boards must be taboo
10 all employees and also as far as
possible to It's customers. The found
err OF the bank was firm believer IN
character reading from the formation
of the mouth and always insisted that
he must have q free and unobstructed
opportunity to study the mouth Of
either customer or employe and this
has been carried on down to the pres
emit day Moreover. It is an unwritten
rule that every official OF Coutt's must
wear black frock coat and white tie
and It Is said that the procession
from the bank at closing time appears
like delegation Of Non-C onformist
clergymen.
In the offices OF Robarts', antique
little lamps. like those pictured In in
teriors OF the olden time, are used
for light and for sealing purposes.
These lamps are always kept filed
with a specially made brand of oil
and gas or electric light has never
been able to Danish these old style
lamps from Robarts' The merger Of
these two banks was described by the
American banker as a wedding OF tbs
two aristocrats of the English bank

Then light fire on the top OF It. and

THE COST
OF POLITICS

! Here and there a candidate may
win an election at the cost of few
postage stamps. But there are many
circles in which such Spartan virtue
is not popular. There are tho hungry
faithful, who for many years have
drilled the voters. These must have
their customary requisites, other
wise their party fervor may suffer a
sudden decline.
Perhaps the politicians take their
service too seriously. Perhaps the
country could get along II there was
less machinery to be operated and
paid for.
In the case of carriages to carry
infirm voters to the polls, the infirm-
ity. giving rise to this expense Is
often laziness. One of the big ex-
penses is the cost Of paid workers to
canvass the voters. Formerly men
would go out and do that work for
nothing. "They took their coats or
as the jolly phrase was. With a
taste for politics, there was nothing
they liked better than tramping up
and down the town and arousing the
laggards.
Some of that gratuitous work Is
done now. But more often 1t must all
be paid for. 1t offers business OPP
portunity to very mediocre men.
Knots OF voters in various hangouts
are supposed to act on their sugges-
tons. Their "inflooence" Is offered
for sale and bought. On the surface
1t is a legitimate expense for time
actually taken, really 1t is stock In
trade offered to the highest bidder.
Does a voter add anything Of value
to the electoral verdict II he has to
be dragged to the polls or II he casts
what is practically a vote by TroxyY
Too many Of these expenses simply
Offset each other. Ii one patty does
1t, the other must. Tie candidate
and his friends are assessed, ana no
one but the camp followers is the
better off. Good old fashioned rallies
and the newspapers furnish the le-
climate means OF educating the
voters. Other expenses only make
1t easier for the man with barrel
to carry of the prize.

DENMARK SHOWS HIGH TEST IN LITERACY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Only one person in every 1000 in Denmark is unable to read and write, compared with seven out of every 1000 in the United States. This fact is disclosed in a report today by H. w. Fogt, of the Federal Bureau of Education, of his investigations of school condi- tions in Denmark. It is shown also that of 260,000 Danish children of school age only 37O failed to attend school during 1911. The secret of Denmark's high place in educational affairs, according to MT. Fogt, lies in the hold which the teachers have up- on the entire people. The teacher has high social rank, is a leader in both churches and state, and is in, variably pensioned for disability or age.

BAGGAGE OF A GENERAL
 DOESN'T SHOW HIS WORTH

It may be laid down as a military axiom that a generals ability is not measured by the amount of baggage he takes to war, says the Washing ton Star. It is said that when Gen Sir John French embarked to take
 ommand of the British forces now fighting with the French against the Germans in northern France all the baggage he took was contained in a single suitcase.
 When Stonewall Jackson started out on a campaign he took along nc personal baggage except withered carpetbag of ancient pattern, and ev en this modest receptacle was but half filled.
 Contrariwise, when Napoleon III. emperor of France, left Paris in 1870 to take command of the arm ies which, he said, were going straight to Berlin, he took along As trunks, besides a most voluminous kitchen and bedroom equipage. The Germans got every scrap of it all at Sedan.
