Population Of Utah.

The cesnus returns from Utah are
completely counted, and show the pop.
ulation of the Territory to be sc, 1856.
Great Salt Lake County contains Is,
337 inhabitants. Piute County is re-
turned as having no population, its In
habitants having been driven out by
Indians. Utah County has popula-
ton of 12,243. Salt Lake City, in
Great Salt Lake County, has popula.
ton of 1922. Those born in the
United States numbering 10, 214, and in
other countries 7,06s. This, at first
glance, seems to contradict the popular
belief that the followers of Brigham
Young have been recruited chiefly in
foregn countries; but when the tables
showing nativity of parents, the relative
numbers of the sexes, and the number
of children are prepared, this seeming
contradiction may be explained. The
census report, when complete, will
show in addition to the distinction be-
tween native and foreign born, the
number of citizens born fro.a parents
of foreign nativity-a distinction OF
great value, but not hitherto noted.

The Cave Of AduIlam.

AT last We are scrambling on foot
down the steep ciIcuitous path which
leads to the entrance to Adullam The
swords bought, Alec leaves our Beth
lehmite, with many threats and point
ings to the pistols, in charge of the
horses, and we clambered along the
! narrow ledge leading to the mouth oi
the cave. 1t is infinitely difficult and
rugged, and consists of tortuous path
a few inches wide, which twines along
a jagged precipice five hundred feet
high, on the other parts of which there
is not footing for wild goat. 1t il
dizzy work, but we keep our eyes on
the wall-like rock which stretches above
us, avoid looking into the chasm be.
low, and move slowly onward, contin-
ually using both hands and feet.
A huge block of stone has fallen
across the broken pathway close to the
entrance to the cave. We Chamber ovel

This is the Cave of Adullman. The
candies we have brought with us are
attached to the walls, and the arches

seen through the darkness, irregular
and dim. There is ample space here
and in the recesses round for several
hundred men; and when we consider
its all but impossible approach, the
ease with which it could be defended
from the attack of what would be an
overwhelming force elsewhere, its COM
parative nearness to Bethlehem, and
weigh the evidence for and against the
accuracy of the site, we come unani-
mously to the conclusion that tradition
is in this instance right. Here it must
have been that David longed for " the
water of the well of Bethlehem, which
is by the gate" when the village was
garrisoned by the Philistines and
along this cleft in the rock the three
"mighty men" came after they had

There are several narrow passages
branching out of the great cave, one OF
which runs for forty yards, and takes
the explorer to pit ten feet deep, ON
all fours, and finally crawl for seventy
yards more when he reaches another
immense natural chamber. This is the
end of the cave, so fa as European
travellers know, though the Arabs insist
that subterranean passages extend from
it for miles, even to Teroa and Hebron.

New system OF Rose Culture.

Some French and English Horticultu-
rists have been experimenting for three
or four years on a new system of rose
culture, which may be briefly stated
thus: First, prune out all the old
wood; second, shorten the new wood a
very little, peg the new wood fat down
to the earth" The rose is thus allowed
to bloom as the raspberry bears-o,,ly
on the new wood, and that slightly
pruned.
AS unlike the common way as this is,
the effect is said to be very fine. The
young shoots pegged to the ground pro-
duce greater abundance of bloom, al
though, perhaps, diminished in size.
When a rose stalk stands upright, the
stronger tendency of the sap has the
effect to multiply the roses near the
top; while, when trained upon the
earth, the sap works more evenly
throughout the length of the stalk.
This is shown both in bloom and in the
multitudinsus upward shooting of
stems from the main stalk. The effect
of this new mode of training would, no
doubt, be very fire in covering sloping
banks and mounds, and also in the
more rapid production of small roses
for bouquetes, &c. Its novelty will,
no doubt, commend it to all amateurs
who have time and inclination to ex-
pertinent
No plant requires closer pruning
than the rose, the finest blooms are al
ways found upon the stalks which shoot
forth from the root, showing the import
ance of severe cutting away of the
old wood. The bush should always be
trimmed SO as to open its branches as
much as possible, for it likes the sun.
The more sunlight the rose receives,
the more rapid the growth and the more
beautiful and numerous its flowers. =

Crop-Bound.

4 correspondent writes as follows !:
"Nearly all my fowls are sick with a
disease that / think is called crop
bound. have lost nearly half of my
fowls, and will probably lose more.
The crop feels hard, and the fowl re-
fuses food" TogetEeier says of this !:
1.-The treatment of this disorder IL sry
simple. With a sharp pen-knife IN in
cision must be made through the skin
and upper part of the crop; the hard
ened mass. loosened by some blunt
pointed instrument, and removed. If
it has remained many days, and is very
offensive, the crop may then be washed
out by pouring in some warm
water. The incision, if small, may be
left; but if large a switch or two is de-
sirable. The bird should be fed on
soft food day or two, and will rapidly
recover" Before adopting such ex-
treme measures as above recommended
We would suggest the trial of a purge
of some kind. That ased by some
cookers when putting up birds to train
for the PIT, which is composed of com
mon yellow soap with q little cream
tartar and molasses worked into it, will
be found convenient. 1t can be made
into pills the size of a pea, which can
be placed down tine fowls throat. In
either case, the bird should be fed on
soft food for several days afterwards.

AN ExrpAoRp1NARy accident bar

AN EXTRAORDINARY accident happened
In Shoreditch, London, lately. As q
crowd were waiting outside the Cam
bridge Music Hall for admission, they
were alarmed by hearing shots fred
Two young men at once fell to the
ground, and Frenchman, who was
found lying down on his face, with q
breech-loading rifle under him, was ar
rested by the police. The two injured
men proved to be Russian Poles, named
respectively Alfred Wohlman and Eph-
rain Berdenbalg. The legs of both
men were discovered to be absolutely
riddled with small shot. They were in
great pain, although their wounds are
not likely to prove dangerous, n. Wal
ter Ringer, the Frenchman who caused
the accident, said that he ha1 been out
sparrow-shooting at Tottenhan all day,
and that while returning home, he
slipped upon the snow and fell, which
caused his gun to go off accidentally.
The police eventually decided upon lib
Grating M. Ringer, the sufferers being
informed that they had civil remedy
for the injuries they had sastained.

Beneath the Furnace Blast.
From the Brooklyn Eagle

On Sunday morning a most singular
and, at first thought, Incredible occur
renee was brought to light at Atlantic
dock, a man being discovered asleep
and still alive in "fery furnace. y
The facts are as follows On Saturday
night Capt. J. l.. Lounsberry, of the
tug ]. K. Guile, returned from rem ov-
ing ship in the harbor, lay up over
night, as is the custom of tugs, at the
Atlantic dock. The fires were careful
ly banked" and the fremen went
ashore for few hours. On Sunday
morning he returned, and on entering
the boiler rooms to inspect his fires, he
was surprised and Mortified at the sight
of human head just within the fur
mace door. He naturally supposed life
to be extinct, for when the fires were
banked the embers were raked to the
back of the furnace, and fresh fuel was
added The fire was larger than Gus
tomary, and the heat was most intense,
but the discoverer seized the supposed
ifeless form by the head, and the body
was drawn quickly out 1t was "red
hot" and the other was burned to a
crisp. The feet were baked, and the
skin, where the clothing peeled of, was
roa ted. Notwithstanding all this, the
man was most evidently alive, and send
ing forth heavy drunken snore, he
was freed sufficiently from the dirt and
ashes to be recognized as dock VOL
loper" named John McGrath, who had
once been a fireman, but who had '1ost
caste" by his fondness for firewater.-
1t appeared that he had freely imbib-
ed-on Christmas day, and after going
his bottom copper at saloon, was
kindly cast out by the gentlemanly
proprietor as having outstayed his use
fulness. After coming within an ace
of the freezing point, he eluded the
watchful eye of the watchman, and
stretched himself for the obtaining of
needed wsrmth and shelter from winds
that blew and the cold that bit, in the
place designed for another sort of fuel,
as before shown. He loses nothing in
the shoes, as they are not his. He eI-
pressed no contrition for his beastly
intoxication, but severely blessed
the saloon keeper for expelling him to
the "gusty flaw" while celebrating
Christmas. Capt. Lounsberry, in all
his experience, says he never before
saw or knew of such a case, and no one
knowing the condition of things at the
time would deem at possible for hu-
man being to live for five minutes,
much less to sleep there, except to
sleep his last sleep, but such is the fact,
and there's another case for science, as
showing what amount of heat the hu-
man body can stand.

ANOTHER WOMAN SOLDIER STORY
The instances In which women have
donned mems clothes to go ga soldier
ing" for the sake of remaining in the
company of some sweetheart are too
numerous to create any surprise; but
there is q story told of two Mobiles
now serving in Paris against the Prus-
slams which is not without an addition
al tinge of romance. OF these two
provincial soldiers one was enrolled
and the other had volunteered. They
were always together-so much so that
they we're known as les deur insepara-
bles. On the same day and on the
same sortie they were wounded in the
left foot-so the story runs-and
brought to the hospital, where they oc-
cupied adjacent beds. The surgeon, in
making his rounds, dressed one foot,
and on examining the foot in the next
bed asked for an explanation, because
he at once W It was woman's. 1t
was the old story She was her COM
panion's fctncee. She volunteered and
fought bravely with him rather than be
separated from him. In recognition of
her gallantry she has been appointed
cdntiniere of hersweetheart's company.

How Much Work n Horse Can Do.

At former meeting of the British
Association IN Dublin, Mr.. Charles
Bianconi, of Cashel, read a paper rela-
tive to his extensive car establishment,
after which gentleman stated that at
Pickford's, the great English carriers,
they could not work horse economic
ally more than ten miles a day, and
wished to hear Nv. Bianconi's opinion
on the subject. Mr.. Biancori stated,
he found by experience he could better
work horse eight miles day for six
days in the week, than six miles day
for seven days in the week. BY not
working on Sunday he effected saw
ing of II per cent.
Mr.. Bianconi's opinion on this point
is of the highest authority, for although
the extension of railways in the land
has thrown thirty-seven of his vehicles
out of employ, which daily ran 2,446
miles, stiQ he has over nine hundred
horses, working sixty-seven convey
ances, which daily travel 4,244 miles.
1t is also founded on the result of forty
three years experience.

BIZ Il. W. LoserzLLow.

Out Of the bosom of the air,
Out Of the cioud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest fields forzaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow,
Descends the snov
Even rs our clouded fancies take
Suddenly shape in some divine expression,
Even As the troubled heart doth make
In the white countenance confession,
The troubled sky reveals
The grief it feels.
This IS the poem Of the air,
Slowly in silent syIlables recorded;
Tbs Is the secret Of despair,
Long in its cloudy bosom boarded,
Now whispered and revealed
To wood and field.
