A singular instance of courage and
determination in saving life on the part of
a mere child has Just been investigated by
the Royal Humane Society of Great Britain.
Two children, named Bridget Mcguire,
aged 4, ard her brother, Edward Mcguire,
aged ., were playing together on the bank
of a wide brook which divides the town
ships Of Ormskirk and Aughton, when
they both fell into the water, which, owing
to the heavy rains had risen high and was
flowing rapidly. Hearing cries for assist
ance, William Walker Jackson, aged 10,
rushed to the spot. and, seeing the two
little children 10 the water, Immediately
jumped In to the rescue. Diving to the
bottom, he brought ont the little girl and
succeeded in placing her in safety. By
this time the youngest child had been
swept a considerable way down the stream,
but the boy again plunged in aud sue
ceIded In rescuing him also. Assistance
being al hand, both the rescued and the
rescuer were promptly attended TO and
soon recovered sufficiently to be removed
home. The bronze medal, with suitable
testimonials, has been awarded by the
society 70 Jackson.

ABOUT HOME COOKING.
The Mistress Must Study the Art II She
Would Have Her Servants Competent.

Half Of our country women, who are In
chronic misery about their cooks, never
stop TO consider that principal cause OF
their difficulties Is their own ignorancs Of
cooking. There exists not in creation a
more perfectly useless thing than the New
York fashionable young lady, and the full
force of this fact probably only dawns up
on her when she Is married. What con-
trast does she present to those notable
housewives who were common enough In
this country hundred years ago We
have not the least desire TO see ladies,
whose means enable them to keep several
fervaats, occupying themselves chiefly
with domestic details but, on the other
hand, we would have every girl thorough
ly inltiated in their mysteries. Even in
old countries, where servants are pro-
cured with comparative case, households
are rarely well managed where the lady Of
the house is Ignorant of ofhousewitely dutlesi
while the most Of MS know by experience
what her Ignorance entails. To know
how dinner should be cooked, II Is not
necessary to cook one. There are thous-
ands of men who never handl, d sauce
pan or spit who can tell exactly why a
dish Is not quite right.
If, instead of thrusling a cooking book
into n raw servant girls hand, and expect
ing her with Its assistance to send up a
dinner, ladies were to sit down and explain
exactly how the thing should be done, and
praise and blame with discretion the eiiJits
Of their haudmaidens, many man would
have far better table. aud persons OF
moderate means would be able to entertain
couple of friends With decenlly cooked
dinner at home, instead Of going to great
expense by having the necessary articles
from restaurant. There would be far less
trouble about servants among us If their
mistresses showed kindly personal inter.
/ est In their welfare.
This especially applies to Irish servants,
who are peculiarly amenable to personal
Influence. There are many persons here
who have not been used to servants IL
their youth, and don't know how TO treal
them. They are alternately distant anC
familiar, and are dreadfully indignant
when the servant becomes familiar too
Those who are digniaed, considerate
consistent, and firm, i'll get on with SER
wants here as well as elsewhere. Constan
changing generally argues as pretty nearly
as much fault in mistress as in maid.-

TWO MILLION BEE-lIIVES
The Little Busy Bee Everywhere from the
Equator to the Poles.

The only insects, we believe, Of any
direct commercial value to mankind are
bees, silk worms, cochlneal and cantha-
rides but the three ,tter beirg confined
to a comparatively narrow zone, are Of
far less general Importance to the drst.
The bee has a geographical range almost
commensurate with vegetation, for II levits
tribute alike upon the pale blossoms Of the
far North and the gorgeous flowers which
expand beneath the sun Of the tropics.
Bees are found in Greenland and Norway,
far within the Arctic circle, and they are
found on the island Philm, rear the first
cataract of the Me from time immemo-
rial they have been semidomcsticated in
Euroye, Asia and Africa, and IN the first
named country the honey Of bees was the
only sweet known to domestic economy
until the Saracens introduced the art of
extracting and granulatiDg the juices of
the cane.
1t is a curious fact that none Of our do
mesticated animals are indigenous to the
American continent, nor is the honey bee
an exception nor was II aecllmated here
until so late as the year 1875, when the
first hive was brought over and the first
mention of an apiary in the United States
was that of George Pelton, in Virginia,
In 1916. In the two hundred years since
their Importation these useful insects have
kept pace with the spread Of population,
and probably there Is no part of the world
where wild swarms are more numerous
now than In all the region west Of the
Mississippi, from the Missouri down to
the borders OF Mexico but strange to say,
closely az the bees have followed, or
rather preceded the human wave which Is
so rapidly spreading over the land, they
never urmounted-winged though they
are-the nights of the Rocky Mountains,
and they reached California, where they
are now more productive than anywhere
else in the world, only through human
agency.
Bee culture-the production of wax and
honey-has become so important an Item
/ In our domestic economy as to be repre-
sented by two or more able journals.
The statistics of bee cultuie are thus
given by the Massachusetts PloWghnan
"Uncle Sam has bees enough to give us
all sting There are two million bee
hives in the United States. Every hive
Yields, on an average, a little over two
pounds Of honey. The aydage price at
which honey is sold is tweIty five cents a
pound. SO that after payinit tfor their cwn
board, our bees present us with revenue
Of IS, 500, 900. To reckon II another way,
they make clear gift of over pound OF
honey TO every man, woman and child In
the vast domain of the United Ssates. In
1860, over twenty.three aud one.thifd mil
lion pounds of wax were made and given
to us by these industrious workers. The
keeping of bees is one Of the most proflta-
bic investments that our people can make
of their money. The proats arising from
the sale Of surplus honey average from
fifty to two hundred per cent. Of the capt.
tai invested. Turf Field aud Farm

The St. Michael's Comet, Of Saturday
last, has the following horrible story
one of the most horrible eases Of inian-
ticide. or child murder, occurred In this
town during Sunday uight last that has
ever been committed In any civilized COM
munity. The circumstances OF THIS muir
der, as far as the facts have been brought
TO light, are as follows On Monday last
the dead body Of a white female child,
not over twenty four hours old, was found
in DR.. Miler's lot, adjoining town, by
little son of Mr.. Thomas II. Fairbank,
horribly mutilated by buZzards, the right
eye being Plncked out, the lower part OF
the face, n, ok and right side badly picked
and torn, presenting ghastly sight to the
beh0lder.
The body was promptly taken from the
birds aud brought to Justice Warren 8
office, where Jury was empanelled, and
Drs. White and Miller proceeded 10 hold
most Inorfsm examination. After due eX'
animation the doctors declared that the
child had been born alive and breathing,
but had never received any sustenance
from tie parent. Several witnesses Wer
examined, but no clue could be found as

iury rendered a verdict in accordance with
the above facts. We hope the matter VIII

Tha Utah of To-paY.

The relation of the true story of the
Mountain Meadow massacre is bearing
It's own fruits. Adyices just received from
Salt Lake City are to the effect that a
secret league has been formed in that city,
whose sole object is to be the overthrow
of Brigham Young and the entire system
of Mormonism. Hundreds have already
Joined, and branch lodges are pro-
iected in every settlement of Utah where
polygamous doctrines prevail. Many once
prominent Mormons have expressed open
sympathy with the movement, and, in the
few days of the existence of the league, II
has confessedly become power. Its con-
stitution binds the members to oppose, by
every legitimate means, and 10y a comhl'
nation Of every lawful influence, the ad-
mis- ion Of Utah as q State INTO the Union,
until such time as the growing sentiment
of opposition to Mormon rule and ostra
clsm shall be strong enough TO determine
the destiny of the Territory on the side OF
freedom, Justice and morality.
1t is q matter Of surprise that, CALLED
for so many years with the Mormon yoke,
the Gentiles and seceders from the faith
should have been so long IN forming a
combination of the kind. II has probably y
been from fear of the power of the
Prophet, which until within u few years
has been absolute, but now, with the Hood
of immigration into the Territory, and the
presence of United States troops in Salt
| Lake CITY itself, all fears of assassination
and persecution have disappeared. and the
opposition is by this time probably amazed
al its own strength. The l.iberatinp
/ League" of course according TO It's pro
/ fessions, meditates nothing hut "legitimat
means" A" and "lawful Influences" which
/ In the end, will probably mean combina
| tion of money for the purpose Of establ sh'
I ing newspapers, defIaJing the expenses o.
public speakers for the enlightenment ol
those who cannot read, and TO compete il
the line Of railways and business matters
generally with the Mormon. Unqueslioa
ably, one very strong bond which hold'
the system together is the materl Il pros
perity and interests of the entire Mormon
body. That, more than any blind faith II
the doctrines OF the church, is the pfeser
walton Of MOrmonism. Break them dow
there and they are routed.
Doubtless the old policy Of wholesale
assassination would ba gladly resOrted Il
even now by the Prophet and his council
but it is too late In the day. The palm.

lies were slaughtered OF a nod, have gon

A distressing accident occurred on
Friday afternoon, 29th ult., at DANES
Quarter, near the mouth OF the Nantieoke
river, BY which Capt. Samuel Shore aud
his cousin, John shores, lost their lives.
IL seems they had been out dredging oys-
ters during the day, as was their custom,
and, il coming on to blow very hard, they
retired to a haibor near their homes, ana
anchored, about O'Clock in the afternoon,
and soon prepared to leave their pungy
to go home on shore, as was usual with
them at night Their yawl boat had
been let down over the stern of the pungy,
and they hll got into II with the block
tackle at the stern of their yawl unloos-
ened. and at the bow still fastened. While
attempting TO hoist a small sail, both men
standing up, and the very high wind caus-
ing a tremendous sea, making the boat to
pitch to and fro, the bow tackle unhOoked,
and In an instant the wind tlled the sail
and she capsized. Both men got upon the
bottom Of the yawl and sung ont to one OF
the crew on board the puugy 10 slip the
cable aud let her pay OIL To leeward OF
them, as no other small boats were near
/ TO render assistance The order was obeyed
| but the boat taking a wrong sheer went
/ foul of another pungy lying at anchor with
| no one on board, aud It seemed impossible
to separate them. The weather being
/ freezing cold the men did not hold out
long one clung to the yawl but few
minutes, when he let go aud so IN drownedi
the other held ont about a half hour, and
he, too, yielded to the freezing cold.
The body Of the captain was found on
Sunday; that Of his coLsln has not yet
been discovered. The desperation of the
man on the pungy looking at his friends
drown, and csuld render no assistance
must have been terrible.
