Yesterday and today were both active in real estate circles and tho good weather is having a most favorable effect on the market. Late yesterday afternoon a deal for $7000 was closed by J. II. Whalon who trrusferred for that sum his ranch of 240 acres of land, situated twelve miles southwest of tho city. The Salt Lake street railroad com-pany have perfected arrangements for extending the electric car line on Sec-ond South from Sixth West to a point nearly two miles over tho Jordan. Nearly everybody wants to seo an apvropriation mado by the city council, to open up and beautify the park up City Creek canyon, as well as to attend tho road on to tho Morgan settlements. W Holland's thirteeu-store- build in was t lie talk of the town today, and "Wanty" has been pestered to death with itinerant architects who are troubled with chronic, iinpecuitiositv, and who want to draw him plans for such a towering pile. The Utah Lime and Cement company aro confident that they have just as val-uable hot springs on their property as any others in Salt Lake valley or else-where, They possess one advantage in being situated so high on the inoun- - tain that water could bo gotten to al-most all parts of the city by its own pressure.

A piece of ore was exhibited to tho reporter of The Timks this morning which for pure, unadulterated "pure guild" takes both big and littlo casino, not to count cards and spades. It camo from the 000 level of the Mammoth, south of the shaft. Heretofore, the ground in that direction has been much broken and had the appearanco of tho vein being laulted, and no ore of ennsc- - qtience had been found in any of tho levels going south until tho present strike had been made. Tho specimen shown today would weigh nearly four pounds, more than half of its bulk be-ing pure horn silver.

I am firmly of tho opinion that: thereis a profitable field for development in tut direction of advertising by profession) men. After giving tho enbject a good deal of thought and weighing the ob-jections already raised and to be antici-pated I have a conviction that the lawyer, the doctor, the di utisf, ilif. architect or any other professional mai; can call to his aid the limitless power ol printeis' ink, hd( Jvertiso in displnj type in tho advertising columns of the newspaper or magazine to his advantage and without h u f self respect or public estimation. Tins question has received the attention of professional men as well as the advertising fraternity, and, with due respect to thcuo who hare discnaseff it, I maintain that, tlley have failed tc approach the Bubjsct lroui its true point of observation. I am aware that custom and a sup-posed unwritten law, which is fostered by the exclusive and super-dignifie- d ele-ment of all professions, frown upon the mere mention of this subject. It dot not follow that their ban of displeasure' and sarcastic comments in any mannei reflect upon the enterprising and inde-pendent man, who, confident of his own worth, his professional ability, moral and social equality, trampling on cus-tom, appeals to tho common sense of the public for the coi rectness of his acts and motives.

A Persian barber works in a stylt rery different from that in vogue in this country. A typical shop was a square room, with ono side open to the street, In the center was a tiny bed of flowers sunk in the floor, from the middle ol which rose an octagonal atone column about three feet high. The capital of tho colurtin formed a receptacle for tho .water in which tiie barber dipped his hand ns he shaved his customer's scalp. In Persia they do not lather. The shop was very clean. Iu two recesses stood four vases filled with flower-i- , and the implement' of tho barber's art scissors, razors, lan-cets, baud mirrors, largo pincers to ex-tract teeth, branding irons to cauterize tho arteries iu amputating limbs, strong combs, but neit a hai- - brush, for that im-plement is never used by Persians. From tho barber's girdle hung a round copper water bottle, his strop, and a pouch to hold his instruments, iu his bosom was a small mirror, the presenta-tion of which to his customers is a that the job is finished and that the bar- - ber waits for his pay. The barber shaves the heads of his customers, dyes thoii beards, pulls their teeth, blisters and bleeds them when aiiing, sets their broken bones and shampoos their bodies. Exchange.

Others say that the contraction is from the Spanish pesos, dollars; others, still, claim it to be derived from the Spanish word fuertes, me.ining hard, so culled to designate silver and gold from paper or soft money.
