Show Science kicks tlio statement that boys grow I more ropularly than girls. The father of seven I daughters ha his own opinion. I Ji tlic matter lias escaped tlie mind of our rcad- j rrs. it may he well to mention that Tom Linton's yacht was heak-n hy one.two, three and out. He will Do', race arain: at least, not until he can find some man in Great Britain with the skill and head of llcrres-liolt. tho builder of Reliance. f The first number issued of the Northwestern 'ii:rcr is upon our table a bright-looking:, fibl.v-odited newspaper published at the city Proctor Knott made famous once upon a time in congress. Duluth is now an important city of the Northwest, one of the most important, and a good sign of ihis i found in its Carbolic paper. 4 It need surprise nobody if Pius X would point ibe way toward peace in the Balkans. A telegram from Kome says several cardinals have expressed iihe opinion that the Pontiff should publicly denounce de-nounce the situation in Macedonia to the civilized j world, without distinction of religion, calling upon all the powers to take common action on humani- tarian grounds. The Bishop Colton souvenir edition of the Cath- I olic Union and Times failed to reach us, yet with- I out mental reservation we take the stand and say I it is the best edition ever issued from the press of if any Catholic plant. This statement carries some knowledge of the mechanical equipment of the Union and Times along with the intellect that has made the paper great. j . . Blowing hot and blowing cold on labor, just as 1 the fancy suits him or the character of his atidienee 1 fits, does not strengthen the relatione between the I president and ibe walking delegate. The president J is ready to jolly everybody and anything, and the I wonder is that he has not learned the sign language so that he could address a multitude of deaf mutes J who go to the polls onec in every four years. I Describing an accident which befell "Hog Ecid," who tumbled from his wagon, the reporter of a I Bedding (Cal.) paper catalogues a list of lacera- I lions, cuts and bruises sufficient to fill a medical 1 journal. Then the reporter innocently adds that Is "Hog sustained painful but not serious injury." This is mean in the reporter. Evidently he desired de-sired to deprive 'Tlog Keid' of all benefit of life insurance. J I $ . The intending immigrant need not be disturbed j I over the typhoid controversy in our Salt Lake $ daily papers. The germ in Parley's creek is not ! I eauaht. with & hook and line. Out of forty-one j j caes r.f typhoid reported so far this month, but two I were fatal. The, chances are these two would have s died of shon nc-ss of breath if they escaped typhoid.

Mr. Odin, j ihen a deacon in Missouri, but afterward Arclt- I bishop of New Orleans, contains this interesting passage: 'The bishops of the United States have J found a fine expedient for spreading religion. I They have written a number of works on the cere- monies of the. mass and on all points of controv- ersy. Theee tracts are circulated everywhere; and f the. Americans, ery anxious to know about every-tiling every-tiling and especially curious about religion, read them with avidity." A writer in the Records of the i.. , "'"" IM Catholic Historical society notes that the Catholic Truth societies that are doing so much to' spread the faith ttorougirpamphlets and cheap books, were thus anticipated nearly 100 years ago. It is also worth observing that the willingness of American Protestants to read what Catholics have to say about the Church is not so modern a manifestation, as many would seem to believe. j The passing of the elk. the deer, the mountain j lion and the bear is almost as sad as the passing j of the buffalo, who has already gone by. But the j passing of the codfish is indeed a calamity. Con-I Con-I side-ruble excitement has been caused in New Eng-j Eng-j land by the report that the catch of eodlish on the i Newfoundland banks is steadily falling off. . To I think that codfish balls will soon become a luxury ' j for the rich alone is indeed a sad reflection. j I i Under the act of congress the Uintah reservation reserva-tion will not open to the public until October of i next year, but already sooners have begun to in-I in-I vade the reserve, attracted there by v the mineral i wealth which is said to exist in both the precious j metals and also gilsonite, large deposits of which exist, and which a company of local and eastern j capitalists claim to own.
