MORMON OCIAL CONDITIONS.
Advantages of Town Life Blended with
the Charms of Rural Existence.
Social changes of a marked character
will be wrought by the occupation of
the arid region. In this matter also
Mormon experience is luminous, . says
William E. Smythe in Century. Brig-
ham Young sought to found his pros-
perity not only on industrial ethics,
but also upon the happiness of the peo-
ple. He would not tolerate idleness,
and the walls of cobblestones still
standing in the older portions of Salt
Lake City were invented that the
church might pay for the labor of men
who would otherwise have been tem-
porarily supported by charity. As a
means of furnishing entertainment,
various diversions were planned, in-
cluding the Saturday night dance, led
by the bishops of the wards.
The leader’s wisdom is almost as
clearly exhibited in his social scheme
as in his plan of’industry. TheTbentral
idea in it was the farm-village. A vil-
lage site, generally a half-mile square,
is selected in the midst of a tract of
five thousand or six thousand acres to
be colonized. In Utah there are many
small valleys between the towering
mountains, and the village site is gener-
ally located near ,_ the center of the
valley, and near the river from which
.the water is diverted into canals on
each side at a sufficient elevation to
command the irrigable lands. The half
a square mile is then laid out into
blocks of four acres, with broad ave-
nues between, and the blocks are divi-
ded into lots of an acre each. On these
acre lots the farmers have their homes.
Here also are their commodious Barns.
Here they have their poultry and swine,
while considerable space is devoted to
a market-garden. The farmer then has
his farm on the outlying lands, which
are divided into lots ranging from two
acres up to twenty acres.
From the public park in the center to
the farthest outlying farm is only two
and a half miles. Most farmers traverse
a much shorter distance to reach the
farm from their homes. On the other
hand, [the women and children enjoy
the important advantage of having near
neighbors, while the church, school-
house, stores and post office are near at
hand. Under this system the advan-
tages of town life are-blended to a very
considerable degree with the charms of
rural existence. It is a system full of
delightful possibilities. The Mormons
have realized its substantial advan-
tages in neighborhood association; but
their model will be much improved
upon by many colonies of more recent
establishment. Farm life under the
old conditions has involved isolation.
The hunger for human sympathy and
company has driven thousands from
the country to cities already over-
crowded. This factor is responsible for
manyasocial tragedy, as well as for
the problems which have arisen in con-
gested city populations.
There is no reason why farm villages
patterned after those of Utah should
not have a social life and an outward
beauty quite as firs-“cry art, for in-
stance, the suburbs .-,__‘ Boston. JThcre
the architecture seems almost uniform-
ly pleasing. Attractive lawns, with
trees, vines and flowers, are everywhere.
People of small means will be able to
surround themselves with similar ad-
vantages in the farm villages Of the
arid' region, while realizing all the
benefits of independence and equality
inseparable from the industrial scheme
of irrigation.

WEAPONS INDIANS FEAR.
They Don’t Like to Face Telescopic
Sights and Heavy Bullets.
“Indians sometimes face light fire-
arms with great courage, but they fight -
shy of the attentions of any weapon
that sends a large projectile,” said Col.
F. A. Blake, who has had wide experi-
ence on the western plains. “The rush
and scream of the heavy bullets fright-
ens them, and they prefer to keep away
from their range. To that not unrea-
sonable prejudice is due the fact that
the buffalo hunters of the early ’703,
who in following their business were
constantly exposed to the attacks of
hostile Indians, were molested com-
paratively little by them. The long,
heavy rifle, with its telescopic sights
and the knowledge of the deadly cer-
tainty of the buffalo hunter’s aim, a1-
. most invariably served to make the red
man keep his distance, and set him tem-
porarily free from the notion of scalp
hunting. '
“One buffalo hunter by the name of
Murdock, that I knew, was creeping
upon a herd on the Stakedf’ Plain when
he spied a band of Comanches riding
toward him. He instantly leveled his
gun upon them as a warning that they
should not approach too near. Check-
ing his warriors, the chief of the band
pointed with his hand to a buffalo in
the distant herd, then mentioned in the
~ Indian language that the hunter should
shoot it. Murdock fired-as the chief in- f

SUGAR IN TODHVCO.
Three Kinds Discovered Herctofore' Una-
known to Chemists.
A recent. number of the» New Bulletin
(English) contains some particulars of
a very interesting problem, which some
years ago was submitted by the treas:
ury to the Kew authority.
The question was: Does natural sugar
occur in tobacco? and in the investiga-
tion of this point some striking fleets
have been brought to light. The treas-
interested from a fiscal point of View,
the dui y on tobacco (other than cigars)
being 41s 6d, expept in theease of “sweet-
ened” tobacco, which is charged at
4s 10d, but cigarettes made of the sweet-
ened article are not allowed to be im-
ported at all. Before this investiga-
tion it was generally admitted that to-
bacco did. not contain more than a trace
of saccharine matter.
On the advice of Prof. Church, Dr.
Hugo Miller was called in, the latter
making a thorough examination of the
question. ' Commercial samples of
bright Virginia tobacco, undoubtedly
free from adulteration, were found to
contain as much as 15.2 per cent. of
saccharine matter. Sun-dried leaves of
nicotiana tabacum, grown at Kew, con-
tained 6.2 per cent, and those of the
same species grown at Ewell railway
station as much as 9 per" cent. Dr.
'Miller finds the saccharine matter to
be optically inactive when tested by the
polarisoope. He is of the opinion that
neither cane sugar nor glucose is pres-
ent in the saccharine matter, but that it
is composed of at least three sugar-like
substances, probably hitherto un-
known.
THE TURKISH KAIK.
It More Closely Resembles the Gondola
Than Any Other Craft.
Crawford, the author, to whose skill-
ful pen Constantinople is indebted for
one of the most charming volumes ever
issued in its praise, has a word to say
about the Turkish boatmen and their
vehicle, the kaik.
“Constantinople OIWBS much,” writes
he, “to the matchless beauty of the
three waters which run together be-
neath its walls, and much of their repu—
tat-ion again has become world-wide
by the kaik. It is. disputed and dis—
putable whether the Turks copied the
Venetian gondola or whether the Vene-
tians imitated the Turkish kaik, but
the resemblance (between them is so
strong as to make it certain that they
have a common origin. Take from the
dongo‘la the ‘felse’, or hood, and the
rostrated stem, and the remainder is
practically the kaik. It is of all craft of
its size the swiftest, the most easy to
handle and the most comfortable, and
the Turks generally are admitted to be
the best oarsmen in Europe.
» Indeed, they have need to be, for
both the Bosphorous and the Goldén
Horn are crowded with craft of every
kind, and made dangerous by the
swiftest of currents. The distances,
too, are very great, and such as no or-
dinary oarsman would undertake for
pleasure or for the sake of exercise.
I. is no joke to pull 15 or 16 miles
against a stream which in some places
runs four or five knots an hour.”
IN A REAL GRAVE.
Booth’s Experience on a Stage in I. Moun-
tain Side Town. .
“I once produced Yorick’s skull from
a real grave,” remarkeda Chicago thea-
ter man recently. “It was years ago,
in Virginia City, Nev., when that was a
great mining camp and a stock com-
pany was maintained at Piper’s opera
house on B street. The theater was
built—the whole town was on the steep
side of Mount Davidson. A street was
thirty or forty feet higher than B street,
so they had to blast out rock to make a
level for the theater. The stage rested
square on rock. We got along very
well until Booth came there and ‘Ham-
let’ was to be produced. Of course, we
could not get alongwithout a grave, so
a section of the stage was sawed out
and some workmen with crowbars and
ieks dug down about three feet.
“Booth knew nothing about this until
the grave digger’s scene was on. I was
the first grave digger, and as Hamlet
approached I lifted my pick and began
digging for keeps. You know we
usually lift the pick aloft and ‘do busi-
ness’ of digging, letting the pick fall
lightly on a box of earth, which is on
the trap platform where we stand. But
I pitched in and picked like a good fel-
low and when Booth heard the steel
ring out from my hard knocks against
the honest rock he was (the most sur-
prised-looking Hamlet I ever say. He
got between the grave and the foot-
lights, facing up-stage, and looked
down into my real grave with a puzzled
smile, and whispered: .
“ ‘What have we here, grave digger?’
“ QWe’re going in for Shakespearean
realism,’ I whispered back, throwing
out a shovelful of rock I had loosened.
“Boot went on with the scene all
right, but whenever he faced up-stage
he would look down into that real
- .0...
grave and smiic curiously. After the '
1 show he examined it more carefully
‘ and got down into the grave.”

The Death List of the Bridge Catas-
tl‘Opile Is Increasing.
MANY VICTIMS IDENTIFIED.
Fifty-seven Have Already Been Recog-
nized and a. Large Number Are Miss-
A lug—Some of the Later Details
of the Horrible Accident.
VICTORIA, B. 0., May 28.—There were
fully 100 persons on the car which plunged
through the Pointe Ellics bridge during
the celebration of the queen’s birthday
here, and more than 60 of them are dead.
Most of the persons on the car were on
their way to witness the sham battle at
Macaulay's Point. The car was closely
crowded, and the platforms Were filled-
Two cars, alike heavily laden, started .21-
most at the some time. The first passed
the bridge in safety, but the middle span,
about 150 feet in length, gave way when
the second car reached It.
It was high tide when the disaster took
place, and the car was submerged in 25
feet of ,water. Those persons who had
been standing on the platforms Were,
many of them, able to reach the shore by
catching hold of floating timbers from the
works of thp bridge, but those within the
car were unable to escape. Some of those
gutside were injured by the falling tim~
ers.
Today the bodies of 57 persons killed in
the disaster had been Identified. Other
bodies had been recovered and were still
unidentified, and it was supposed that not
all of the bodies had been recovered. The
search was still continued. The work of
identification was rendered difficult by
the fact that many of the passengers on
the cars Were out of town visitors, not
known here.
__ The Identified Victims.
Among the victims Whose bodies have
been identified are:
Mrs. J. A. Troutt of Seattle, Sophie
Smith and Alice Smith, sisters, of Vic-

Many Persons Missing.
Twenty persons known to have been on
the bridge at the time of the accident are
missing. and it is supposed that they have
perished. ‘
Superintendent Wilson of the Canadian
Pacific Railway telegraph was in a car-
riage with his wife and five children be
bind the ill fated car. The vehicle went
down with the car, and In a moment the
entire family were struggling in the wa-
ter. Mr. Wilson succeeded in saving his
Wife and four of the children. The fifth
child, a little boy, was wedged beneath
some wreckage and was drowned.

General Baratieri’s Accusers.
ROME, May 28.—The demand for the
authority of the chamber of deputies to
prosecute General Baratieri, the Italian
commander alleged to be responsible for
the defeat sustained by the Italian army
at Adowa, has been published. It asks

ground that he attacked the Abyssinians
on Jan. 3 from inexcusable motives and
under circumstances rendering defeat in-
evitable. It is also charged that he aban-
doned his command for two days.
For an Arbitration Tribunal.
LONDON, May 28. —The, cooperative
congress, of which the Earl of Winchilsea
