John c. Young, son of Joseph
Young, eldest brother of the Mormon
prophet, has been accommodated for
waging Newspaper war against the
Utah hierarchy. The detection of a
blood relative OF Brigham Young creates
considerable excitement among the Nor
mons.

lately at Parker's, Pa, bequeathed ST.

more than their rights. The last Legis-

which wife may 60 into business ON

much money she may make, or how poor
her husband may be, can force him to
support her. Mrs. Livermore regards
this as unjust to husbands and as un-
asked for by wives.

Eattening Fowls.

There is nearly the same relative diff.
ference between the price of really fat
and well-dressed chickens and those only
in fine flesh that there is between ripe
and fairly fattened cattle. Thoroughly
fattened chickens are about as hard to
find in our Western markets as really
ripe cattle. Now, the real profit to the
feeder, either in cattle, chickens, or
other stock is in what flesh is gained be-
tween the time they are just lit TO eat
and the time they are really fat, if the
feeder have but the proper place for
keeping the animal or birds.
The difference between stall-feeding
cattle and thoroughly -fattened fowls is,
that the expense of providing animals with
warm shelter is very considerable item
in the fattening of stock, while the proper
shelter for fowls may be imprOvised
cheaply anywhere All that is necessary
is warm place that may be darkened
except at feeding time, and the regular
feeding of the fowl with ground and
cooked food. The period of faLtening
need not extend over three weeks, what
ever the plan operated ON, and, if the
best means are used, fifteen days will
suffice.
Il VI ldbtShihs5 uhNCl SHNuul-
stances, the Western Rural prefers shut.
ting them in coops but little wider than
the fowl is long, with troughs in which
feed and water may be kept outside.
Keep corn and water, or, better, SKINNED
milk in which a little brick dust is
placed, always before them; and feed
once day as much as they will eat of
cooked feed composed of equal parts of
meal and potatoes, made thick, seasoned
slightly with black pepper and fed warm,
keeping the apartment only half lighted.
In this way they will usually fatten in
two weeks. If kept longer they must
have some sharp gravel given them.
By this means chickens, turkeys,
ducks, geese, etc, may be made really
fat, and when we estimate the advance
of two and often three cents a pound
which such poultry will sell for, over the
inditierently fattened, this extra price is
considerable item, for the excess is OBJ
tanned not only on the additional flesh
put on, but also on the weight withwhich
the fattening process was commenced

A Peculiar Case.

One of the most extraordinary n.a;,
cases on record is that of Jerry Tm.,
young man from Fullerton, Whites;daa
County, now under treatment Al az
Mercy Hospital. Lunt, who ia na.e
twenty-five years of age, saws that ara'
in boyhood he experienced aifficnitv y
swallowing, which gradually incressa -
until q few weeks since, when it hecs,saa
impossible for him to swallow even wst.s
or any other liquid, and it was found siea
impossible to administer food throurh
stomach tube, or to even insert q nrobe
Since then he has subsisted wholly on =,
jections of fluid nutriment. Since h;s -
moval to the Mercy Hospital, some dav,
since, the injections have consisted ~
grated oysters, milk, egg nogg and nan

far. though his system is somewbas
emaclated,, 1t appears to absorb sniff
cient nutriment to sustain life. thenrh
as yet the treatment is regarded os
experimental, and he suffers comnara'
lively little from hunger or thirst, Tha
case is one of the class known as strict.
ure of the gullet or esophagus. at the
extremity OF the canal leading from the
mouth to the stomach; but the cases IN
which the structure was such as to All
solutely prevent swallowing have been
extremely rare, and the result of Lunt's
case is awaited with considerable inter.
est by the medical fraternity. What
caused the structure in this case appears
enyeloped in mystery. The theory il
that, by some acrid substance swallowed
the lining of the esophagus was eaten
away and a cicatrix, or scar, was formed
which since that time has gradually con,
tracted until the passage into the stom.
ach is entirely closed. Whether he can
live in this condition, and whether by a
surgical operation twill be possible to
relieve him, the medical attendants at
the hospital are not now prepared to
state.-Chicago Inter Ocean, Dec ~.

Teaching Hints.

Teaching school and keeping school
are two widely different affairs.
A popular teacher is not always good
teacher, nor an unpopular teacher poor
one.
Whipping is the fruitful parent of
most school disorders.
Ventilation tends to secure pure blood,
sound body, active brain and good les
sons.
School fires should be built a little
previous to quarter to nine o'clock.
If teachers arrive at school later than
pupils it seems as though the pupils
were the most interested.
SchOol-houses were not built for play
houses-notice recesses and mornings.
Teachers should try to associate with
the people among whom they teach.
Remember that reaoing, spelling, writ
ing and ciphering are the topics we shall
use most and consequently ought
to know best.
Order is said to be Heavens first law,
but it would seem to be the last law of
some teachers.
Schools may be spoiled by too much
kindness rs well as by too much vigor
Teachers should prepare each lesson as
regularly as pupils should.
Six hours work per day is the school
day of lazy teachers only. 49,
Why do many pupils ego through"
text books many times and then NOT know
their contentsY ksHF
A well-recited lesson is not always
well-known lesson.
The moral nature Of pupils Is as worthy
of cultivation az the intellectual.
Industrious, orderly, civil teachers
usually find the same qualities in their
pupils, for "as the teacher, SO IL the
pupi !"
N Written work should be required III
every branch of study. 80
J Some teachers expect their pupils to
progress, but make no effort 70 progress
themselves.
A reading exercise is something more
than pronouncing exercise, pause ex-
ercise or an infection exercise, and re-
Knoxville journal. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1874-1986, 1874-12-31
uires as much study as any other schoo,

quires as much study as any other school
task.
Lazy pupils always like concert recita-
tions-they- call them splendid.
Teachers who use the textbook at
every recitation really say Ivy actions
that they do not know the lesson they
are hearing.
Never fail to inspect all written work
unless you wish the next poorly done.
Our best teachers are the best subscrib-
ers to educational works-poor teachers
don't need them.
The art of questioning properly is
