HE law proposed by the “regulators” in Chicago to _ inhibit. by law hand-shaking and kissing is indeed ridiculous, to say the least. Any sensible person knows that it would be decidedly better for the health mouths should indulge in neither of these two methods of greeting. But men and women must reasonably be left some freedom of action, and each mustdearn through experience or teaching what will best preserve good health. Practices and acts against which we cannot guard and which do no harm may well be placed in the. category of things the law commands shall not be done, since such legislation is of the protective character, but national knowledge and common sense should guide people in the blaze of the twentieth century. There is no nocessity for regulation by law in this matter. The truth is, we are running this regulation business into the ground in attempting to make men and woimen mere automatons by Act of Legislature. We believe it entirely right and proper for society, in its organized capacity, to use its means to disseminate sanitary knowledge, but only ina few directions should the law attempt to enforce action or restrain liberty. Thus, one may maintain a nuisance upon his premises which becomes dangerous to: the health of the neighborhood. Wisely, the law should intervene to require an abatement of the nuisance. But if one maintains a very humble dwelling place upon a fashionable avenue, it would be more absurd to attempt by Legislature to compel him to erect a house architecturally in harmony with its surroundings than is the attempt in seven cases out of ten {of these “regulators” to compel human beings to square their conduct and their habits rdiug (o rule and measure. In Utah it Ecea to erect a law to compel all the people on a given day to “clean house” and disinfect their premises under the direction of the State-Board-of Health. That is simply tidiculous. “An annual disinfection and rip= ping up on one day would simply invite to neglect and dirt during the rest of the. year, besides being a requisition that would be actual hardship. Because of the unsanitary condition of a man’s house it very often constitutes an assault upon his neighbor’s health and life; therefore it is proper and advisable to compel him to cleanse his premises and keep them clean; hence we have sanitary laws which should be enforced not only on one day in the year, but on all days. There are dozens of other proposed so-called “regulations” . equally as ridiculous as the Utah idea, and which are seriously entertained by’ Legislators in various parts of the country. When will men learn that beyond a certain limit the maxim is golden, “The less law, the greater happiness.” COLD WEATHER, . Eavortal Notes. It is easy t> gauge a man’s emptiness —__ when he is fall.

Last Tuesday afternoon at 3-'o’clock Sam Uren left Chipps mine for his home in town, a distance of two and one-half miles. As the snow was five feet deep and he had. no snowshoes he nailed straps on a couple of boards and struck out. He had gone about a mile when his improvised snowshoes broke. He finally reachéd the ‘river, aud Was COMmpélled to foliow it down. About & o'clock that evening Mary Devine, while ou-her way home, heard cries of distress in the vicinity of ‘the fiver, An alarm was givea and Mr. Uren was soon rescued from his perilous position. The exhausted, and all bat frozen, man was carried to town where, after h ving bis garments cat, from him, restoratives were adminietered and he was soon bim elf again. Had it not been for the providential arrival of Miss Devine that way he would in all probability have frozen to death. “As 8 man thinkethb, so ia he.” Asa man drinketh, so is he.

Origin of “Watered Steck.” The expression ‘watered stock,” which describes so well the expansion of the stock of a company beyond the value of the property, originated, it is said, in connection with Daniel Drew, Who was once the wealthiest and most unique manipulator in Wall ‘street. Drew had been a drover in his younger Gays, and it was-said of him that before selling his cattlein the market he would first give them large quantities of salt to make them thirsty_and then provide them with all the water they. could drink, In this way their weight was greatly increased, and the pur. chaser was buying “watered stock.”~ Leslie's Weekly. : Old Polo. In “The Arabian Nights” we read ot. & wise sage who cured a great king. by @ decoction with which he anointed the handle of a stick with which the king wae in the habit of playing a game at’ ball, te the end that when the royal hand perspired in the vigor of the play the open pores might receive the medicament. The translator speaks of this stick a9 a “golf stick” (sic), but it is plain from the context that the game was played on horseback. It was, in fact, polo. Indeed the. illustrations of. the very same edition show the said king play: ing the game on horseback.

The Freeman & Lynn Oommercial Men’s Minstrels made their appearance at the Nevada theater here SatOfday evening as-echeduled. To say they. made a hit would be putting it mildly, as from the rise to the drop of the curtain they kept their hearers in a continual vein of good humor. Although the inclemency of the weather kept ‘many from attending, yet seating room was at a premium, and those who braved the elements: were treated to a performance as is seldom witneseed from-an aggregation of amateur talent. Since their appéarance here last season the knights of the grip have improved wonderfilly, and many a professional travel ing troupe would have to look to their’ laarels were they forced to conipete with them.+ Their orchestra alone is worth going miles to hear, as it renders music that is of .a grand and soul-inspiring nataure,and the opening overture was greatly enjoyed by all. The curtain arose on the old-accustomed minstrel. scene with the proverbial end men looking at home, And they were-at home judging from the many and bright witty. saylogs that were,indulged in, A number -.of our local peeple came in for a few facetious flings which were borne with fortitude. W. H. Freeman, the middle man, maie 4 splendid intezloctor, and filled the part to perfection, The tenors, Ed. Coffman in “Rosemar,” Harry B, Smith in “Queen of the Earth” and R. T. QOohn in -The Choir Iavisible” made decided impres sions and were applauded to the’ echo, Frank Schuler, the baritone, sang “Where the Sunset Turns-the Ocean Blue to Gold,” which was well received, Mr, Orvillo Fairfield in. “Ho! For a Sail ia the Piping Breeze,” and. M. Koening in “The Song the Anvil Sing” did admirably and received flattering applause. These gentlemen possees rich basso voices which bave been cultivated to a nicety. These two songs are by Composer H. .W. Petrie of Austin, Illinois, and are con-. sidered:two of his latest successes, William McDonald, formerly of the Bostonians, made the hit of the evenjug: Mr. McDonald is a vocalist of rare ability and in his deep rich: basso sang “The Bells of St. Marys” in a voice that was as clear and audible as the sweet strains which eminated from the: qriginal bells, He is traly gifted with excellent vocal ‘powers.’ ~~. : Ed.

Hill and Hornton in their clab jug gling ect are two as clever lads as ever performed in this city, and without doubt arp adepts of the first water ip their line of work, : Ed. Lyna, in a monologue originally his own; Charlie Eilermen, the musical genius, and Ted Hall, the versatile comedian, all acquitted themselves’ so creditably that the audience was loth to give-them up and @ncored them repeatedly. Bob Mitchell, Dave Ficney, Billy ‘Hobson and Tom Holder made such an impreesion on the boys that should they ever again appear here t'xey can rest assured of being royally weleomed. Taken all in all the Drummer Minstrels gave entire satisfaction and the curtain dropped on an audience that felt repaid for their time and money. May the merry drummers egain favor us in the future.

Origin of “Watered Steck.” The expression ‘watered stock,” which describes so well the expansion of the stock of a company beyond the value of the property, originated, it is said, in connection with Daniel Drew, Who was once the wealthiest and most unique manipulator in Wall ‘street. Drew had been a drover in his younger Gays, and it was-said of him that before selling his cattlein the market he would first give them large quantities of salt to make them thirsty_and then provide them with all the water they. could drink, In this way their weight was greatly increased, and the pur. chaser was buying “watered stock.”~ Leslie's Weekly. : Old Polo. In “The Arabian Nights” we read ot. & wise sage who cured a great king. by @ decoction with which he anointed the handle of a stick with which the king wae in the habit of playing a game at’ ball, te the end that when the royal hand perspired in the vigor of the play the open pores might receive the medicament. The translator speaks of this stick a9 a “golf stick” (sic), but it is plain from the context that the game was played on horseback. It was, in fact, polo. Indeed the. illustrations of. the very same edition show the said king play: ing the game on horseback.

The Freeman & Lynn Oommercial Men’s Minstrels made their appearance at the Nevada theater here SatOfday evening as-echeduled. To say they. made a hit would be putting it mildly, as from the rise to the drop of the curtain they kept their hearers in a continual vein of good humor. Although the inclemency of the weather kept ‘many from attending, yet seating room was at a premium, and those who braved the elements: were treated to a performance as is seldom witneseed from-an aggregation of amateur talent. Since their appéarance here last season the knights of the grip have improved wonderfilly, and many a professional travel ing troupe would have to look to their’ laarels were they forced to conipete with them.+ Their orchestra alone is worth going miles to hear, as it renders music that is of .a grand and soul-inspiring nataure,and the opening overture was greatly enjoyed by all. The curtain arose on the old-accustomed minstrel. scene with the proverbial end men looking at home, And they were-at home judging from the many and bright witty. saylogs that were,indulged in, A number -.of our local peeple came in for a few facetious flings which were borne with fortitude. W. H. Freeman, the middle man, maie 4 splendid intezloctor, and filled the part to perfection, The tenors, Ed. Coffman in “Rosemar,” Harry B, Smith in “Queen of the Earth” and R. T. QOohn in -The Choir Iavisible” made decided impres sions and were applauded to the’ echo, Frank Schuler, the baritone, sang “Where the Sunset Turns-the Ocean Blue to Gold,” which was well received, Mr, Orvillo Fairfield in. “Ho! For a Sail ia the Piping Breeze,” and. M. Koening in “The Song the Anvil Sing” did admirably and received flattering applause. These gentlemen possees rich basso voices which bave been cultivated to a nicety. These two songs are by Composer H. .W. Petrie of Austin, Illinois, and are con-. sidered:two of his latest successes, William McDonald, formerly of the Bostonians, made the hit of the evenjug: Mr. McDonald is a vocalist of rare ability and in his deep rich: basso sang “The Bells of St. Marys” in a voice that was as clear and audible as the sweet strains which eminated from the: qriginal bells, He is traly gifted with excellent vocal ‘powers.’ ~~. : Ed. McGiade, thé premier. of seientiflo bag-punching, gave an. exhibition lowers of the manly art. Hill and Hornton in their clab jug gling ect are two as clever lads as ever performed in this city, and without doubt arp adepts of the first water ip their line of work, : Ed. Lyna, in a monologue originally his own; Charlie Eilermen, the musical genius, and Ted Hall, the versatile comedian, all acquitted themselves’ so creditably that the audience was loth to give-them up and @ncored them repeatedly. Bob Mitchell, Dave Ficney, Billy ‘Hobson and Tom Holder made such an impreesion on the boys that should they ever again appear here t'xey can rest assured of being royally weleomed. Taken all in all the Drummer Minstrels gave entire satisfaction and the curtain dropped on an audience that felt repaid for their time and money. May the merry drummers egain favor us in the future.
