suitable food. and perfect shelter from
rain and snow should be always accessible.
Any lack in these essentials is sure to man

affect the grass to such degree that it is

them as to secure these two conditions, a
large amount Of food will be economical.

New SUNDAY ScHooLs.-During ths past
season, up to August 1, the missionaries
of the American Sunday School Union IN
the Northwest have organized 211 new
Sunday Schools where there we're none be-
fore, and gathered into them S,O64 chill
dren, and ], ,232 teachers, besides aiding
294 other schools, having p, ,S69 children
and 9 964 teachers; making grand total
of sos schools, 4,196 teachers, and 80, 933
children beneftted in about four months.
Truly, o work so important, so Catholic,
and so Christlike, is worthy Of the most
liberal support. It goes out only IN the
maize of Christ, and for all the churches to
gather in the children who are in neglected
districts, beyond the reach Of other agen-
cies. L is said there are nearly one mil
lion children in the Northwest unreaehed
by Sunday School Instruction. There
should, therefore, be ten missionaries IN
the field where one Is now employed, and
the American Sunday School Union viii
increase its force as rapidly as means are
given.

FEEDING PoULrRY.-The habit of giving
much Dod in short space of time to poul-
try is Q very bad one. If you notice their
habits you will perceive that the process
of picking up their food under ordinary, or
what we may call the natural condition, is
a very slow one. Grain by grain does the
meal get taken, and with the aggregate no
small amount of sand, and small pebbles
ard the like, all of which, passes into the
crop, assists digestion greatly. But
il the 'hen vife's" mode OF
feeding poultry. great heap is thrown
down and the birds are allowed to ''peg
sway" at such a rate that their crop IS
filed too rapidly, and the process Of as
similation is slow, painful and incomplete;
No wonder that so many cases of checked
craw are met with under. this
treatment Many other diseases which
affect chickens might be obviated by anna
teur breeders were little precaution taken
in so simple thing as feeding. Regular

SALT LAKE.

Salt Lake City is situated thirty.six
miles from the Pacific RaIi Road, and is
connected with it by branch road call
ed the Utah Central Rail Road, running
from Ogden. This road is owned princi.
pally and is under the management of
Brigham Young, and runs within sight of
the great lake the entire distance.
A correspondent of that valuable and
widely circulated journal, the New York
Independent, in letter to that paper says,
in speaking of Salt Lake and its surround
ings: 95a
The Great Salt Lake is gradually rising
every year. During the last ten years 1t
has risen 10 feet and land which could
be crossed dry-shod few years ago is
now several feet under water. The char
acter of the water is also undergoing d
great change. In former times gallons
of salt water would make gallon of salt,
but now four are required to do it. This
proves that the water IS growing less and
less salt as 1t becomes more and more di-
luted with the water of the mountain
streams, which are pouring into it con-
stantly. The lake has no outflow, being
merely tremendous basin of water. 1875
miles long by IS in width; and, from the
character of the entire valley, which is
one vast plain, stretching from mountain
to mountain, with slight rise, one might
expect ere long to see the vale one vast
lake, and that most important of all agen-
cies the law of Nature, outgeneraling the
art of the Mormons themselves.
It is said that toward the direction of
Ogden, the slope of the plain above the
lake is such that rise of six feet in the
water will overflow the great basin of the
Weber River, and fill another valley over
100 square miles in extent With increas-
ing rain and the mountain torrents, which
seem to be more and more fierce for the
water from the mountains, even for irri-
eating purposes, isdouble what it was 10
years ago-we may expect the future rise
of the lake to be more rapid than i'll the
past. en-
The waters the lake are buoysnt and
delightful for bathing purposes A body
can float upon its surface with the great
est ease, and it is almost impossible to
sink or keep under the surface for any
length of time.
Bathing is accompanied with very in
MIGRATING effects, and in chronic diseases
is, very beneficial, toning and strengthen
ing the entire system. 1t is often neces-
sary to take double bath-first in the
lake itself, and second in fresh water-to
free the body from the salt brine which
adheres to the persons.
Every Mormon considers it his relig
ious duty to plantmore or less trees every
season, and Salt Lake City has now be.
come In % years a bower of bloom and
LEAKAGE, tempering the atmosphere and
inviting the clouds.

A BLOODIER BATTLE THAN

Der of German troops actually engaged
in the battle was $4,000 The French
had great deal of artillery and cavalry,
but the number of troops have been un-
able to ascertain. The Germans had but
little cavalry or artillery The 43d
regiment of Germans, which led the way,
suffered very severely,as we'll as the Sd
regiment The Germans carried all the
breastworks against the fire of the French,
who were always compelled to retire
before them. But the murderous fire of
the Chassepot, which carries nearly twice
as far as the needle gun, tod very severe

ment lost many mOcesthan the French
1t was the superior courage of the Ger
mans which compelled the enemy to re-
tire. They did this slowly, contesting
every inch of ground until they were
driven almost against the walls of Metz.
The battle ground is now in the hands OF
the Germans. The field over almost its
entire extent is still thick with the
bodies of the dead and wounded, and if

mans killed ut / 900, | think that number
would be rather too small than too large

greatest loss, has retired to camp f; it's
numbers have been reduced one half Of
the regiment, one company lost in killed

AN INDIAN AND A CHINAMAN FIGHT.-
Yesterday afternoon Piute Indian and
Chinaman had singular contest on
Taylor street, between B and G streets.
Both were evidently highly enraged, but,
instead of striking with their fists, they
seized hold of each other by the should
ers and began pushing like two Spanish
steers. Up and down the street they had
it for nearly half an hour, much to the
of a large crowd of spectators
Sometimes one appeared to have the best
of it, and again his antagonist outpushed.
Both constantly scolded in their respect.
i've languages, and the eyes of both
flashed a deadly hate, yet neither cared
to do more than outpush the other. at
length the pair ofwild bulls were forced
to quit the contest from sheer exhaustion
neither having gained the victory.

CLEANING TINwARE.-No acids should
be employed to clean tinware, because
they attack the metal and rem owe 1t from
the iron on which it forms thin coat.
We refer to articles made of tin plate,
which consists of iron covered with tin.
Rub the article first with rotton stone
and sweet oil, then finish with whitening
and piece of soft leather Articles made
wholly of tin should be cleaned in the
same manner. In dry atmosphere
polished tinware will remain bright for
long period, but they soon become tar
nished in moist air.

A NOBLE SPONSOR.

Joseph H., Emperor of Austria, often
travelled about his kingdom in ordinary
citizens dress, so as not to be recognized.

might be wrong in the administration of

corrected.
One day he arrived at small post vii.

horses were ready. The driver who was
to carry him on excused himself
''Sir," he said to the traveller, of course
not knowing him, "you will be Obliged
to wait a short time l am very sorry,
but you arrive little ahead of time. All

"a sponsor! Is that all :" reioined the
Emperor, with smile; "Why not take
me, and then the ceremony will be soon
er over, and we can proceed" 500
The driver, seeing that the stranger
was, to all appearance, gentleman,
promptly accepted the offer, and the
whole party proceeded to the church.
The ceremony began. Arriving at the
point where the godfather gives his name,
surname, title or profession, the clergy
man asked ~ - ,n
