There are many patriotic Amerl-ranwho make It a duty on July 4 to journey to IMillnili'liilita. a pilgrimage to the ahrlne of llhcrly, there to raise their voices In thanks and rejoicing for the great deed that waa there acrniniillshed. Hlnce that day, now distant 131 years, when Charles Thomson, rising In hla chair, read for the first time (he Anal draft of that momentous document which Thomas Jefferson wrote, but which underwent many changes before meeting with the Anal approval of the delegates to the continental congress, not an Independence day has been permitted to pass without a proper celebration In the puhllc square back of independence hall. Presidents of the Unltod Slates, senators, representatives. Justices of the highest courts, and even foreign have poured forth their eloThe quence at liberty's cradle. municipal authorities of the city of Philadelphia are careful to see to it that aotuo distinguished man Is always on hand as orator of the day. The pomp of military circumstance has sometimes been called upon to lend prestige to the occasion, and thn beat musicians of the land have been proud to play patriotic airs In the shadow of the steeple where hung the bell (hat so singularly fulfilled the pro photic mission assigned It 24 years before to "proclaim liberty throughout the land." The location of the hall lends Itself to purposes of public celebration. There Is ample room, both front and back, for the building elands well bark from the pavement, so that a large company can gather In front. In tbo rear, the beautiful Inden donee square, there Is still more space, and thousands ssseinble to listen to the orations, and hear the licrlaratlnn of Independence rend. This lattpr Is reiilly the distinctive 'nature of Fourth of July celebrations In Independence square.

Two years after the first Fourth of July, there occurred a celebration In Independence square thnt had a special significance. The advance of the Itrltlsh, and their occupation of Philadelphia during the winter of hud forced congress to leave the Quaker city and go to York. After the evacuation congress returned July 2 and a grand celebration of the recurrence of the promulgation of the declaration was held, In which' nearly the entire population of Philadelphia Joined. Chevalier Conrad Alexander (Ward of France, the first minister ever accredited to the United States from nny isiwrr, was an Inter ested spectator. During the centennial in Philadelphia there was naturally a notable demonstration, and no less a person than Don Pedro, emperor of DruzII, sat among these who cheered the sentiments that had sounded the downfall of monarchy In this country, und were finally to take his throne from the ruler of Drazll. In later years, another representative of a foreign country was the central figure at Independence square. Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister, spoke there with fine eloquence, and mnde one of the best speeches credited to him In his many felicitous utter aners In this country. The anomaly that he was the envoy of one of the most absolute of monarchies dhl not prevent the celestial from painting In most graphic phrase what the venerable building stood for.

There will also be Installed a modern electrical plant of 150 horse power. The Tamarack mine holds the distinction of being the deepest mine in the world, and is the deep level" of the Michigan copper country. There are five shafts on the Tamar rack property, two of which are practically idle. No. 3 shaft Is about 5300 feet deep, intercepting the lode at a vertical depth of 4185 feet. William E. Galllgher, the big mining operator who recently purchased control of the Reliance company at Tena-band reorganized the proposition as the Gem Consolidated, was in Salt Iake last week, buying machinery and equipment for the mines. It is understood that Mr. Galllgher proposes to operate the property cn an extensive scale. It Is said that upon the ranch where the new oil rig of the Juab Oil company is being erected, a farmer once When he had drilled for Water. gained a depth of about 300 feet, black, thick material oozeil out of the hole, each time the drill was removed.

SI Ilford Is all agog with excitement over some wonderfully rich strikes that have been simultaneously made In a number of mines In the Star district. A strike has been made of ore that shows 70 per cent lead and 30 ounces silver. Just at present the question of wages is causing some trouble at some of the mines nt llailiT. Idaho, and some of the properties are closed on this account, hut It Is expected that this matter will soon be adjusted satisfactorily to all parties concerned. Since the first of June the developments in refined copper, from the standpoint of production and consumption, have been entirely in favor of lower prices, but the speculative maneuvering has been strong enough to actually advance the domestic market. Within thirty days shipments of ore will begin from the Hercules mine, near Burley, Idaho. A force of fifteen men has been put to work on the property, and the force will be Inas soon as creased to seventy-fiv- e practical.

Train ntry 4$ nito - ILL HEALTH AND MORBIDNESS. Unfortunate Result of Intense Passion for Sympathy. One of the tendcnclea of I!1 health la to make one morbid. People who are constantly thinking about tlielr ailments, worrying about their troubles, suffering pain, often develop a morbid passion for sympathy. They want to tell everybody of their aches and pains, to describe their symptoms, says a writer. Have you ever known a woman who has acquired Ihe doctor habit, a woman who loves nothing in the world quite so well as an opportunity to tell the doctor of her ailments? She has poured them out to unwilling ears, to forced listeners, till she longs for some one who can really appreciate It all, who sympathizes with her in her troubles; so he sends for the doctor or goes to see him. This becomes almost a mania with some women, who have few outside activities to divert them. Their minds naturally revert to themselves and they think of their unfortunate condition until they become saturated with the poisoned thought. RIBTYPEWRITER CARBONS, BONS, for all kinds of machines; writ PEMBROKE STATIONERY CO.. Salt Lake City. Essentials of a Great Man. You can not substitute any epithet for great, when you are talking of great men. Greatness Is not general dexterity carried to any extent; noi proficiency In any one subject of human endeavor. There are great astronomers, great scholars, great painters, even great poets, who are very far from great men. Greatness can do without success, and with It. William Is greater In his retreats than Marlborough In his victories. On the other hand, the uniformity of Caesar's success does not dull his greatness. Greatness Is not In the circumstances, but In the man. Arthur Helps. The new law offices of State Representative Harry J. Robinson are in Mercantile Block, Salt looms lake City, Utah, to whom all whs are in need of legal advlco are referred. 102-10- 3 Gypsies and Animals. The gypsies are nearer to the animals than any race known to us in Europe. They have the lawlessness, the abandonment, the natural physical grace In form and gesture of animals; only a stealthy and wary something In their eyes makes them human. Arthur Symons. "Rest Cure" In England. "Sleep and be beautirul! Rest and preserve your charms!" That Is what wise Englishwomen are saying to themselves nowadays and what they are doing most religiously. Many make a point of lying down for hall an hour before luncheon and before dinner, or after eating. If it suits them better, on a couch heaped with cushions. And to make the rest sweet the cushions are filled with fragrant herbs and flower petals. Some very dainty women have cushions packed with rose- leaves. lot render tops are used, too, nnd pine needles, which have always been famed as sleep inducers. Some women Insist that hops, loosely stuffed In the cushion covers, are the best thing to make one drowsy. - Lumps of Fat The humps of camels are mere lumps of fat and not provided for in the framework of the skeleton.
