How to Polish New Boots,

"Pair Of New Boots" asks that
one of your many readers inform
him how to get good polish OH a
pair of boots. If he will observe
the following directions will guar
antee him all that he wishes in
the polish line. Let him take half
pound of gum shellac (powderedl,
one ounce of lampblack, and two
ounces of camphor; put them in
quart bottle, adding enough alco-
hol to cover the other ingredients,
cork tightly, and let it stand in a
warm place for three days. If he
then apply it to his boots with a
fine soft brush and does not get
the best and most lasting polish
he ever saw, l shall buy him a
new pair. 1t will dry in five min
utes. This preparation does not
injure the leather, and gives a
shine equal 10 patent leather
Amy drug clerk will make it up
for him at cost of As cents, and
it will last an average family u
months.

Heavy Boots Make Weary
Spirits.

Farmers, do not by any means
we beseech you allow your boys to
wear heavy boots We also eau
ton others, but farmers particular
ly as their boys generally speak
ing wear heavy boots. And, al
though it may be argued that such
are necessary to keep the feet dry
and warm, yet it is grand mis-.
take; for boots can be made light
and impervious to water, if the
leather be good and proper atten-
ton paid TO greasing them with
the right sort of grease. Boys
who are required to travel all day
long after the pillow with an extra
pound or two of boot leather hang
ing to their heels, or engage in
any other employment of less leg
labor, will naturally acquire
dull, slow. sluggish gait, as con
sequence of too much weight tc
the pedal extremities.
Itrequires a quick, active turn
to be a good farmer, and boys
should be trained to activity from
their youth up, something which
cannot be done if they wear heavy
boots. You had much better pay
for Two or three extra pairs OF
light boots in a year than growing
up boys should be compelled tc
wear big, heavy clogs, causing him
to be an awkward, sluggish clod
hopper, as he is rightly called
And now we ask what farmer
would like to hear his son called
a clod-hoPper, or what one viii
break down the spirits of a boy
by making him wear heavy boots
The same may be said about train
ing horses to work. Let the
draught be light at first, and &C
custom the team to a speedy gait
which ever afterward they viii
follow. Flowing is performed
with the greatest ease with a team
at a quick pace in fact, it is ar
operation tnat should never bt
performed with the team at a slow
gait, for the simple reason that ;
slow, snail gait will not twist ant
stir up the soil as well as quick
nimble movement. We hope nc
sensible farmer will fail to follow
this advice.

JEWELERS. CEMEET.-The fol.

precious stones to metallic surfac-
es: Take six pieces of gum mastic,
the size of peas, and dissolve in the
smallest quantity of alcohol. Sol

saturate strong brandy with it,
till you have two ounces of glue ;
then rub in two small pieces of

cleaned shavings of beechwood.
Pour the cloudy vinegar on
this bed of shavings, leave it

it then off and it will be perfect

PRESERVING MEAT AND FISH

PRESERVING MEAT AND FISH
BY SUGAR.-To preserve fish by
sugar, open them and rub the
sugar in, in the same manner as
salt, leaving it there for a few
days. If the fish be intended
for long keeping, dry after this,
taking care to expose new sur
faces to the air frequently to
prevent moldiness. Fish pre-
served in this manner will be
found, when dressed, much SUI
perior to what has been cured
by salt or smoke. For salmon
of six pound weight, a table
spoonful of brown sugar is suf-
ficient.

APPLE RoLL.-Make a paste
with one-fourth of a pound of
butter to one pound of flour
mixed with water, not very
stiff. Peel and slice rather
thin, or as thin as the bottom
of a pie, spread the apple on the
crust so as to cover it, dredge
on little flour, and roll as tight
as possible. Cut the ends e.
ven, and put in the steamer or
wrap in a thick cloth and boil.
1t Will take one hours steady
cooking. Serve with butter
and sugar; and cut in thin slices
from the end when serving.

sonal observation. One of his latest

Frenchmen, NJ. Taine looks upon En-
glishmen as curiosities, and considers
everything connected with them as the
most curious things imaginable. From
a Frenchman's standpoint the English

English, says Taine, 81 the chasm which

THE MORMONS.



Strange sights at the Tabernacle.
The San francisco Chronicle says:
What dense mass of humanity is to be
seen at Che great Mormon Tabernacle
on a Sunday morningl The congrega-
tions vary from three to ten thousand,
according to the bill of fare offered II
Brigham is advertised to speak there is
certain to be full house, and If the
times are lively and exciting, standing
room will be scarce. Next to Brigham,
Elder John Taylor, the ablest of the
Twelve Apostles, draws the best, and
then comes George Q. Cannon, another
of the Twelve Apostles 0rson Hyde
and the Pratts were formerly big guns;
but of late they do not take n very ac-
tive part in discussions at the Taberna-
Gle. The earnest saints in attendance
never know who is going to preach, ex-
cept in the case of Brigham, and any
brother present may be called upon to
make remarks, which constitute the Lat
ter Day Saints sermon. The old
elders and fathers in Israel sit upon
the ample raised platform specially
built for them, and it is from their
ranks that ecclesiastical orators
mostly come. The Mormon preachers
never use notes, as they consider that
preaching from paper is sure sign
that a mans religion is his profession,
not his life. In taking their texts, which
they seldom do, the Old and New Testa-
ment, the Book OF Mormon and the Doc
trine and Covenants are the sources of
inspiration. They open them at any
given page by chance, and the text read,
they construe itin material sense. The
listener, not knowing their style, will be
eager to know according to the text,
what the preacher views are regarding
the resurrection of the dead, the immor-
tality of the soul, the attributes of God
and the angels, or some other hair.split-
ting theological problem. But the list
ener is most gloriously fooled when his
ears are burdened with remarks about
building good roads. the best mode of ir-
rigation, how to herd stock and run saw
mills, the prospects of cotton and silk
trade of Utah, the beauties of polygamy
in household economy, etc, and "all for
the glory of God" as the preacher
enthusiastically exclaims. The au-
dienee listen with reverent atten-
ton. The sea of upturned faces
is a remarkable sight. Anglo-Saxon
physiognomies of all shapes and sizes
and expressions, solemn and stolid-look-
ing, handsome and homely young and
old, green and withered, are to be seen
All nationalities are represented-the
English, Welsh and Danes predomina-
ting. Norway and Sweden come next
An occasional wandering Jew or rene
gade Celt may be seen here and there by |
way of variety. The men are mostly |
clad in home.spun, and the women
some in fine silks and others in coarse |
garments. The costumes of the Euro
pean lower classes, which have not |
changed in centuries, are to be seen
herein all their primitive beauty. Many
of the American Mormon women are
dressed richly, and some of the young
saintesses look as pretty as peaches
The old elders, who sit on the platform,
are grave, earnest, stolid-looking class
of men, whose countenances are stamp
ed with the mysterious force of fanati-
cism.
