large portion of the lung is involved by it.

Pneumonia has a preference for the right lung, although, of course, it not infrequently attacks the other. One of the symptons which it gives rise to is a stitch-like pain near the nipple. But this is not constant, or,in other words, it is absent in not a few cases; while in some in which it is present it is so triffling that the patient does not mention it.

If much of the lung is involved by pheumonia the breathing is seriously affected, but if the pneumonic spot is small the change in the breathing is no more marked than it would be in an attack of bronchitis.

As for the fever, high pulse, etc., which are signs of pneumonia, they are often nearly, if not quite, as marked in simple attacks which come under the head of "colds."

From this it is easy to see that attacks of pneumonia, during the early stage, are extremely likely to be unsuspected by all except physicians. To draw correct conclusions from this is easy.

A person attacked with what ap pears to be a very severe cold should call in his physician-not attempt to treat himself. If the trouble is as indicated he will have incurred but a slight expense, which will bring ample returns in lessened discomfort. Whereas, if he happens to have pneumonia, prompt treatment will multiply his chances of recovery many fold.-Boston Herald.

THE SECOND ADVENT.

But there are those who honestly think that the anticipation of the literal second coming of Christ to reign on the earth is calculated to detract from the spiritual life and growth of those who entertain that view, and to beget in them a sort of political frenzy or zeal for a sensuous government attended by the glitter and tinsel of present earthly kingdoms, and that it would be a limitation instead of an extension of the spiritual, elevating, redeeming power of Christ's gospel.

It is possible it might have such a temporary effect upon unbalanced minds. I once heard a really very good man say: "Oh, if I knew Christ was coming on such a day, I would spend my time in prayer and religious exercises." But the reply of his friend That we are nearing a crisis in the showed a truer appreciation of real reworld's history almost every leading ligion, when he said: "If I knew mind in religion or politics admits.

state.

Perhaps many believers in the existence of God and of Jesus Christ, as

of the Person and Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ have been but partially blessed, as the injustice, cruelties, po erty, wars and their attendant suffer ings prove. There is a great work yet to be done before the promises made to Abraham shall be fulfilled in their ful ness, when there shall be universal peace, when nations shall learn war n more, and when "the kingdoms of this world shall be the Kingdom of our God and His Christ."

Both from a biblical and common sense standard it is evident that the Lord has not yet-if I may be pardoned a hackneyed expression-done with the Jews. The grand purposes for which He selected them have not all been fulfilled. There is still a great work for them to do. They are to play a wonderful part in the awful tragedy and amazing drama of this age. God has said they shall be gathered again to their own land-that He will make of them a grand nation. What though they are hated and despised by all nations? What though mighty emperors and their cruel and debased subjects persecute them and seek to des troy them? They are but helping to bring about God's purposes only forcing these afflicted people to go where God has appointed they shall go.

But for what are the Jews to be restored to their own land? For what reason are they to be again made a mighty nation? If they are not quite so full of conceit as when their rabbis taught that "a Jew's spittle was of more value in the sight of God" than the lives of scores of Gentiles, they are, as a rule, proud, stiff-necked, arrogant and, had they the power now, would doubtless rule with a rod of iron. But the Bible expressly foretells that they will be brought through such severe trials and sufferings that they will be a very different people. They will be come humble, repentant, obedient and say, "Blessed is that cometh in the name of the Lord."

wickedness which led their forefathers reject Him.

The objector, however, may reasonbly say: "Supposing all this to be rue, what does it amount to? Why hould God be so particularly interested n the welfare of so small a portion of His children? Why should He select hem as His special favorites? There ae tens of thousands of more intelligent, humble, faithful, self-sacrificing mong mankind who do believe in and ove Jesus Christ; why not select hem?" The answer is: God has no vorites except on account of superior ighteousness. If God chooses any ortion of His children for a certain fork it is in order that all the rest of lis children may be, if they will, dessed thereby. Abraham and any of the Patriarchs were avorites with God because of their ighteousness. But their descendants were used, not because of their rightousness, but partly because God had ma 'e promises to their fathers which He would not violate, and partly for the same reason that He has always used the weak of the world to confound the mighty, and the poor and despised and ignorant to carry out His purposes -because the strong, the rich, the noble, the learned will not be used.

The representatives of the Liberal party opposed the granting of the request on the ground that the People's and Citizens' parties were one and the same thing, and therefore not entitled to more than one judge.

He is your friend, and the Great Father has told him to be your friend. He wants you to talk to him as friends and he will meet you in the same spirit.

The Secretary then asked if the Indians had made arrangements about speakers. He could not hear them all, but would listen to a few and he desired them to speak briefly. He added, if no objection were made, he would hear from John Grass, Hollow Horn, Bear, American Horse, Two Strike, Hump and Young-Man-Afraid-of-His Horse.

In response, Louis Renoltre said this arrangement was not satisfactory, as it was desired that each agency should be represented. The Secretary replied that he would hear John Grass and American Horse and then take counsel with them as to who should follow.

JOHN GRASS

then came forward. Rev. C. S. Cook, Episcopal minister at Pine Ridge, acted as interpreter. Grass at once began to speak of the recent trouble among the Indians, the origin of which he did not know. They had come for the purpose of conferring with the Secretary in regard to the matter. The Indians, he said, did not desire to be driven back to their wild life, but wished to consult with the President, 80 as to determine upon the ture. The Indians thought it desirable that the agents should be civilians, rather than military. In the past, he said, the Indian agents had opportunities to steal, but now it was difficult for them to adopt such practices. The agents of Jate years, he said, were good men. In speaking of his own reservation (Standing Rock), the threatened trouble had been put down by the Indian police. They believed in Indian police and he asked for an increase of fifty

men.

Grass then shook hands with the Secretary and took his seat.

Elder J. M. Sjodahl gave a very instructive lecture on the subject of "Infidelity and Criticism," prefacing his remarks with an explanation of the difference between unbelief and infi delity, the former being the natural state of man till enlightened by the Gospel, and the latter being the condition of those who, hearing the truth and seeing the light, refuse to receive it and choose to remain in the dark. The speaker briefly traced the growth of infidelity from the early ages and pointed out its connection with an Bear and Medicine Bull talked briefly, unreasonable criticism of everything and then Secretary Noble spoke to the that God has revealed.

The Secretary then quoted statistics as to the issues to the Indians. The schools the Indians want have been kept up at all the agencies, and indus trial schools, such as they want, had also been re-established at Pierre and another school would be put up at Flandreau.

Farmers had been kept at different agencies to show the Sioux how to farm the land. It was a mere accident that $400,000 should have been cut off the Sioux appropriation immediately after the agreement with General Crook. It would have been the same if there had been no agreement. These things should convince

The school sang, from the German, "God Speed the Right," singing first the tonic sol-fa notes, to illustrate the method of instruction adopted in the Twenty-first Ward school.

Superintendent W. J. Beatie, of the Seventeenth Ward School, in replying to the general questions-what is the average attendance of Latter-day Saint children in the Sabbath School? and how to increase the same, stated that about 56 per cent of the children of the ward were in regular attendance. To get parents interested in the Sabbath School was one of the best means of increasing the average attendance of the children, and without this cooperation of parents it was difficult to do much in this direction.

Another arrest has been made of a "Liberal" for illegal voting.

A VOICE FROM NEW ZEALAND. WE have been permitted to peruse a letter recently received from Elder J. H. Burton, of the Sixth Ward, this city, who is now laboring as a missionaay in New Zealand. The communication is addressed to Brother Arnold Giauque, Supt. of the Sunday School of the ward named, and is in response to a substantial token of esteem received from that institution.

The introductory part of the correspondence is devoted to an exhortation to the youth of the Church at home to prepare themselves, by appropriate study, for future missionary work among the nations. If time is not in this respect taken by the forelock, those who thus neglect golden opportunities will, when called to the ministry, have occasion to regret their carelessness.

The writer also gives some description of Sunday schools among the Maoris. They constitute an agency for the attainment of much good. The Bible, Book of Mormon and articles of faith are the leading means of instruction. There are no seats in those schools, it being a custom of the natives to squat upon the floor on mats.

At a recent quarterly conference held in the district (Wairarapa) in which Elder Burton labors, seats were provided. Instead of the natives regarding this feature in the light of a luxury, many of them during service forsook the benches and took up positions on the floor.

After going into some details of Maori cooking, a description of which has heretofore appeared in these columns, the writer of the letter states that their primitive practices in that regard do not seem to have an impairing effect upon the health of these people, they being, as a rule, finely developed specimens of physicial manhood. As an instance of the attainment of unusual proportions Elder Burton cites the fact that he had recently attended the funeral of a chief who had tipped the beam at twenty-six stone (364 pounds) and who bad lived to the acvanced age of 107 years. This centenarian leaves a son of almost equally mammoth proportions, as he turns the scales at twentyfive stone (350 pounds.)

Elder Burton encloses in his letter

the following clipping from the Wairarapa Standard, a paper which is evidently conducted by a level-headed editor.

"MORMONISM AMONG THE MAORIS. "It is well known that Mormon missionaries have been laboring among the Maoris for a considerable time with great success. The government native agent has reported to the government that Mormonism is almost the only religion proKing County, and from what we know of fessed by the natives of the Waikato and the Wairarapa it may be said that the same prevails here. These missionaries have lived a life of self-denial among the natives. They have zealously taught and expounded the Scriptures; they take up

no collections save what is given voluntarily; they purchase no land; they do not meddle with politics or other questions, but confine themselves solely to the preaching of the Gospel. Some of the missionaries are men who were well-todo in Salt Lake City, but who have forsaken all to carry on the work of evanelization among the Maoris. They have been working for a good purpose, while other churches have been slumbering and leaving the Maoris to drift whither they would."

Another Landmark Gone.

The building which stood until a day or two ago in front of the south entrance to the Tabernacle, was one of the old landmarks in this city. It was built about 1848 or '49. It was occupied as a store for general merchandise by Halliday & Warner in the early fifties. The late Hon. W. H. Hooper conducted the business for that firm and made a success of it.

Cost of the Indian Campaign. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The estimate sent to Congress by the Secretary of War to supply the deficiency in the Quartermaster's Department, shows the cost of the Indian campaign, just closed, was $1,300,000. The principal returns are $935,000 for transportation of troops and supplies, $188,000 for the extra clothing, camp and garrison equipage necessary to fit out for a winter campaign, $70,000 to replace horses broken down in the campaign, and for the purchase of ponies, and $87,000 to cover differences in the cost of supplies purchased for the troops in the field and the contract prices at the posts from which the troops were drawn. There were other expenses under the Supply Department that will probably bring the total cost of the campaign up to $2,000,000, a sum sufficient to have given the Sioux the $100,000 annual appropriation promised them for a period of twenty years.

Above the roar of escaping gas the pitiful cries of the imprisoned miners could be plainly heard by their wives and children.

"But, Mr.Speaker," urged Mr.Caine, "you know that Salt Lake needs and should have a public building."

"Yes, I suppose it has," rejoined the speaker. "But we have refused to pass public building bills for the new States, and having done so, it would not be right to pass a bill for a public building in a Territory."
