The Women of Utah,

Rev. T. Dewitt Talmadge has been to
Salt Lake City, and does not seem to be ia
vorably impressed with the personal ap-
pearance of the women. He says:
Nothing inspired us more in Salt Lake
City than the LONELINESS of the women.
It may be ungallant to mention it, but as
every one that goes there thinks it, here
goes the statement of the fact. Now,
homeliness Of feature is not always a dis
advantage. There is a handsome ugliness
and a pious LONELINESS; but with these
Mormon women it is a vicious and Outrag-
eous uncomeliness, indicative of moral dis
figurennent. The tabernacle was alive with
them. They made us shudder. 1t is as
sault and battery to have them look at you.
What Brigham or any other man would
want of seventeen such looking creatures
cannot imagine. One of them, / should
think, would be great horror. Such dis
location of noses and displacement of
mouths and ruin of eyebrows are not
gathered together in any other place on
this planet. There must be good many
witches among them. We would not
have heen much surprised to see them
riding home on broomstick. The only
excuse we can see for polygamy is that it
would take at least fifty such women to
make one wife,

HOME CHEERFULNESS.- a child
goes aStray, not because there is q want OF
prayer or virtue at home, but simply be-
cause home lackssunshine. Achlld needs
smiles as much as flowers need sunbeams.
Children look little beyond the present
moment. If thing displeases, they are
prone to avoid it. If home is a place
where faces are sour and harsh, and fault
finding is ever in the ascendant, they will
spend as many hours as possible elsewhere.
Let every father and mother, then, try to
be happy. Let them look happy, let them
talk to their children, especially the little
ones, in such way as to make them hap
Ply.

was about right. If we are to accomplish
much in the world we must take hold of
great many things. 1t may require ac-
tivity, promptness, and energy. But all
this will call out what is in us. John
Wesley said, II am always in haste, but
never in a hurry-leisure and | have long
taken leave of each other" The useful
man is always at work. He finds his rest
and recreation in the variety of things to
which he gives time and effort. Our dam
ger is not in taking up too many good OBJ
jects, but in laying them down.

Those pages touched the soul of WILDER
force and engaged his intellect for Christ.
He filled up spare hours writing his "Prac-
teal View of Christianity" That volume

A stranger went to church in Middle
town, Connecticut, on Sunday recently,
and sat down in pew, when, just as he
was getting interested in the sermon, a
rough looking, pious church member came
in and took him by the collar and threw
him into the vestibule. He thought he
would stay there and hear the rest of the
sermon, when the sexton kicked him off
the steps. He went to the side of the
church to listen to the sermon through
the window, when one of the members
said amen y to something the minister
said, and then spit tobacco juice out of the
window into the listeners eyes. He says
a man can't enjoy much religion in Mid
dletoWn.

Washington and Rome.

"Grace Greenwood" in a letter to the Indepen-
dent SAYS:
"This Washington Of ours reminds me In some
vague way, Of Rome. The outlook TO the west
from the commanding ridge Of New Jersey ave-
nue., Capitol Hill, these exquisite spring DAYS,
when the city below lies half concealed by the
silver mist Of early morning or glorifed by the
golden haze OF sunset, Is especially suggestive Of
Rome, as seen from the Pincian Hill. Perhaps
II was this vague resemblance Of climate and
situation which originally gave TO this part OF
the town the name OF ROEss, and not the little
circumstance that all the land about here was
once owned by a man named Pope. Some rare
lovely days We have here, even in midwinter
which revive in my heart old importunate yearn-
-ings for morning and evening walks on that
dome blaze back the greetings Of the sun, and
watch the deepening and waning splendors of
the sunsets-Such sunsets as are seen nowhere,
let jealous Americans say what the will, out OF
ltaly-avay from that land, that sky which the
sun leaves with allowing reluctance, with careSs-
es Of light and embraces OF all-pervading glory
In some OF the sweet, sort, unnatural March DAYS
OF the present year my languid blood was stirred
with strange longings for gallops over the desc
late Campagna, Its turf OF grayish brown like
by early tokens OF spring, purple streaks of GRO
cuses and anemones and blue riffs of yiolets
Iongings almost a. keen felt for tramps among
the ruins, and strOlls about the princely grounds
Of the Borghese and PGmfi Dora, under imme-
mortal pines, over lawns that laugh with a festal
iostling multitude Of flowers. Such visions /
have had of the Eternal City itself, that grand
old mother eagle Of civilization, now renewing
her youth. Often has arisen before me a certain
tail palm, which stands in some palace OF con-
vent garden, and can be seen from all ports of
Rome. sad looking tree 1 used To think IT,
though so erect and proud like captive soldier
Going compulsory duty-a solitary Mameluke
standing sentinel over the city Of the Iniidel.

Of civilization? total lack of humor, we should
say, and OF that sympathetic power which ena-
bles person TO see, as if by instinct whether he
or his conversation be agreeable to the listener
joined, sometimes, to intense egOtiSm; though
this last is not necessary ingredient in the bore
character, except so far as il is connected with
want Of sympathy. The essence of the bore is
the absence of the sympathetic power. This By
no means implies the absence of sympathiZing
power. The two are quite distinct. A person
may bore one TO death with sympathy, by offer

This Is why the masculine bore so largely pre-
dominates over the feminine. Women as a rule
have more tact than men. They are more sym-

TIE Use of ChIoroform by Robbers.

he-Availability of ChlOroform and Similar
Agents in Facilitating Robbery" was the subject
of the lecture delivered before the Medico- Legal
Society, of New York, at its regular meeting
Thursday evening. DIR. Stephen Rogers, the
speaker, took the ground that chloroform cannot
be effectively used in aid of robbery or in stnpi-
flying persons against their will for any elonious
purpose Whatsoever. He believed that no well
authenticated case Of robbery, effected by means
OF chloroform, was eItant, and cited numerous
cases in which burglaries, said to have been
effected by Its aid, proved afterward to have
been facilitated by the very uncorruptible
guardians Of property, who were declared to
have been put under the influence Of the an
aesthetic. He gave IL as his opinion that no
anRsthetc could be effectively used unless suf-
hcient force were present to hold the subject
while the anesthetic was applied. In the first
place, the long time invariably required for the
gradual overpowering Of the victim, would OF
itself be great objection to the use Of the
anBsthetic among thieves Moreover the pa
tent always got Into wild state when coming
under the benumbing influence. He got into a
state OF chloroformic intoIicatiOn, singing, dane
ing and shouting in a way which would alarm
the sleepiest household. Moreover, when in a
lethargic state, the patient was seized With vio-
lent yomitings, which would be likely TO terIni-
nate life IL no aid were at hand, adding to the
probable danger Of detection, and the severity
of punishment 70 the culprit. Even in case Of
sleep, the choking and retching would probably
wake the patient up before the process of stupe-
faction was complete.

1HE REyIsION OF TIE bible IN ENGLAND
ECy. &. ance Smith, whom the conyOcatiOn of
Canterbury al first refused as "a member of the
body 10 revise the translation Of the Bible, be-
cause he wouldn't acknowledge the divinity of
Christ, but afterward retained OH account of his
scholarship, has lately made an address on the
sUbjeCt, promising great things in the improved
version. BE said it would take a long tme--fVe
O. siX yeaTs-to revise the New Testament, and
even longer for the Old yet when IL was remem-
bered how great multitude Of people were inter-
csted ia the work, and that the work might live
one or two hundred years, the length OF time
must not be grudged. So far ~ they had gone,
the new version satisfied him extremely, and In
this respect, that il read like the old one There
vas changes in almost every verse-in some
verses - veral-SOme more important than others,
lat all tending TO a more exact representation of
the original; but, Notwithstanding these numer-
OUs changes, IL was the wish of the company To
adhere closely possible to the old style, with
which the people had been familiar from their
childhood The consequence was, the new YER
ison read extremely well, measuring IL by the
standard Of the old one; and one hearing IL read
would hardly know IL was q new version.
