AN INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM THAT WAS FOUNDED BY A GENIUS. lirljluun Yotin; Chow For tho Corner tone of Slate tho Sound Principle of Industrialism What II Did With the I'roblcm of Irrigation. O11 July 14, 147, President Young and his follow pioneers passed through I bo pfcturesqito outlet of Emigration mnyiHi into tho valley of tho Great Salt late. Utah was then Mexican soil, and U10 leader believed ho could found what ever character of institution should suit him and his people. In tho bitter anti Alonuou crusades of tho past it has been alleged that "Brigham Young had chains miaen's goals.' Thero is no doubt that religious superstition, rendered effective by the ajarvclous ranch inery of tho church, "was partly tho source of tho leader's irresistible power with his own people, bat back of tho religions super stition and the church organization Etood tho brain of a great and masterful man. Ho know that his power, to bo enduring, must rest upon something material and tangible, and this some thing he discerned to bo tho prosperity of tho people themselves. Brigham Young was an organizer of prosperity. This was tho real source of his strength. Ho did not aim at mere temporary prosperity. On tho contrary, ho fought everything that tended to thai end, going to tho length of actually for bidding the opening of the rich mines in tho mountains near at hand, because bo abhorred tho spirit of speculation. Ho chose for the cornerstone cf his stato tho principle of industrialism, and that prin cplo lies there yet, at the base cf a no ble edifice cf economic fact, reared by human toil and held firmly in place by tho average prosperity of all who had pan in its building. If tho great archi tect and tho superintendents and fore man who surroanded him enjoyed a larger share of tho profits than tho work men, it is also true that tho humblest hewer of stone and carrier of mortar was paid in proportion to the importance of his labors. And what fair mind can ob ject to art industrial system that yields these results? So far as can be learned, Brigham Yocnghad no previous knowledge of ir rigation when be entered Salt Lake val ley. He quickly realized that he had corae to an arid country, which would be hopeless for agriculture unless arti ficially watered. With marvelous percep tion, ho saw that irrigation was not a drawback, but an advantage of tho mart important sort. He realised that it meant freedom alike from the dangers of tho drought and of the flood. He discov ered that, having a rich soil and ample SBnshine, aad adding moisture by tho ccostraction of ditches, it was actually an inqtrovement upon nature to be able to rem tho "rain" either on or eff with equal facility. And therefore ho rightly cancittded that he had found in these conditions the basis of tho most certain worldly prosperity and the most scien tific agricakarc- It remained for a later genius to re mark: "Irrigation is not a substitute for rain. Rain is a substitute for irrigation, and a mighty poor one." But if the Mormon leader did not say so he evi dBt3y felt it. He perceived, further more, that irrigation was much more than an insurance policy upon the crops. It brought all the processes of agricul ture within tho realm of known facta, and that is science. It even rendered possible tho control of the size cf vegetables, and this be came important many years afterward, when the Mormon people added a preat sugar factory to their industrial system, for it is important to grow sugar beets of about a standard size to get the best results. Moisture is required to give the beet a rigorous growth at the beginning, but when it is well started weeks of un interrupted sunshine are desirable in order to develop the saccharine qualities. Much sunshino at tho wrong time dries up the crop, while much moisture at the wrong time produces a beet pleasing to look upon, but unprofitable at tho fac tory. Brigham Young also realized, almost at the first, that tho necessity of careful irrigation largely increased the labor upon an acre of land, but he found that this labor was generously rewarded by the increased yield both in quantity and quality. And from this fact ho drew the most important principle of his commonwealth, which was tho division of land into small holdings. Closely re lated to this is the other twin factor in Mormon prosperity tho diversification of farm products to tho last degree. . Natural conditions, even where thero is tho most abundant and well distribut ed rainfall, are often favorable to the production of only a few crops. But the Mormons realized that the skillful ap plication of water just whero and when neededTandin just the right quantity, and by the very best method, rendered posable the widest variety of fruits, vegetables and cereals suited to the tem perate zone. Thus Brigham Young taught tho people that no man should own more land than he could cultivate to its highest point by his own and his family's labor, and that do man should go to a store for any articlo of food or clothing that could bo profitably pro duced on his own email farm.

A Now York woman, nu art lover, Is spending her first season in Paris, mid how porno of tho old world art is seen through hex now world oyos eho tolls in a recent letter: "To tho new world comer among tho art treasures of this part of tho old world, it is tho marbles rather than tho paintings to which tho soul responds. With tho first headless muse, whoso flash ftill throbs after hundreds of years through the draperiod masses of her thin Grecian robe, is established a bond which strengthens with almost ovcry step through tho marblo lined Galcrio of tho Palais dn Louvre. It is a bond that grows with tho freedom and prom i so of tho 'Winged Victory and tho fulfillment of tho 'Venus of Milo.' "No statuo in all tho world perhaps stands so irresistibly for tho message of womanhood as does this 'Venus. ' From her beautiful throat, her nobly set head and her sweet and gracious mouth to her yioldlng but perfectly poised body and her firmly set foot sho speaks woman tho love, beauty, honor, sincerity, pro tection, fulfillment of true womanhood.

"Sho breathes and smiles as you look at her, and her eyes that havo been tell ing their secret for ages look into yours and bid you read. They tell yon that tho hand of her fashioner, sorno young, hopeful enthusiast, sorno inspired master of his loved art, put, all unknowing per haps, his very heart into this master cre ation of early Greece and of the whole world.

It is an old woman's remedy here no one considers it as of any value, but the Chinese think differently. That which comes from Manchuria is esteemed better than ours; but, then, they take all we send gladly enough. No European nation sends any.

You have read a good deal about the 'sang diggers' of the North Carolina mountains, but there aro people just like them at work within a hundred miles of the city men, women and children, who find their work material ly helps in getting a living.

"Spoouing" parties nro popular in sorno quarters. They tako their namo from n good old English word which was intended to ridicule tho alleged fan tastic act ions of a young man or a young woman who Is in love. For sorno reason, which no ono over could explain, every body pokes fun nt tho lover. In fact, that unhappy character is never heroic in real life, no matter what great gobs of heroism ore piled about him on tho stage, and in all tho romantic story books. Tho girl in lovo and tho boy in love are said to bo "spoony. " When a "spooniug" party is given, tho committeo in charge of tho event re ceives a spoon from each person who at tends, or else presents each guest with a spoon. These spoons aro fancifully dressed in male and female attire, and are mated cither by the similarity of costuraoor by a distinguishing ribbon. Tho girls and boys whoso spoons aro mates aro expected to take care of each other during the continuance cf tho so cial gathering. Of course the distribution of tho spoons Is made with tho greatest possible care fulness, tho aim being to so place them as to properly fit tho case of the young people to whom they ore presented. Tho parties aro usually given by tho young people of sorno neighborhood whero the personal preference of each spoony is well known, and they nro tho source of no cad of fun. It is possible also that they serve as aids to matrimony as well, and aro thcrcfaro commendable, since an avowal is tnado more easy to a diffi dent swain after ho feels that his pas sion is not a secret, but that his weak ness for a "spoony" maiden is known to his friends and enemies on the commit teo which dispenses tho spoens. It may bo mentioned that after the spoons have been distributed among the guests, each couple retires for consultation regarding the reasons which caused tho award of mated spoons in their case. This consul tation is known by tho name of "spoon ing. " St- Louis Republic. A Clever Way to Get a Ulnoer. I happened to be ono of a party of six dining the other night at an up town restaurant. Most of us were strangers to each other, having met only In tho oft- Lerncoa in tho course of business. There were a banker, a politician, a lawyer, a theatrical manager and a something else. I do not yet know what, in the company. Tho something else made himself ex ceedingly agreeable. Ho was, in fact, the lifo of tho party. He was politeness itself, and his wit and epigrams were fetching. After dim 7 ho rather sud denly and mysteriously dropped out of sight end was missed. "Who was I bo gentleman?" I asked cf the theatrical manager. "I'm suro I don't know," ho replied, "I thought lw was a friend of yours." "No, I never saw him before. I sup posed be was a friend of yours," I said Then I put tho samo question to each of tho others and found that tho man was unknown to any of tho party. Ho had simply invited himself to dino with ns, behaved like o jolly good fellow and disappeared at the right moment. Tho only thing we havo against him is that ho forgot to pav his bill. New York Press. Shakespeare's Name. It haa often been a puzzle to students of Shakespearo why his name Is spelled in so many different ways. Shakespearo himself is said to havo signed his namo on different occasions "Shakspcaro" and "Shakesperc, " and learned dkquisitions have been written to prove which is tho proper spelling. None perhaps was more amusing than tho "weather" reason given in 1951 by Albert Smith, who averred that ho had found it in tho Har leian MSS. It was as follows : Ilorw dyd Shakespeare Bpcll hys name! Vo wcatherro znaydc yo change, we sayc. Bo write it as ye plwc; When yo sonno shone ho znaydo hys A, When wctto ho took hys E'en. Depth.
