A Mormon Sequel to an En0ch Arden
Case.

UNDOUBTEDLY the papers are reporting
too many EnOch Arden cases, and the
melancholy reflection that there are many
more to come makes it still worse Re
Gently, however, a case has come to light
which is too rich to be ignored A man
named Morrison, Well-tO-do mechanic,
started for California upon the steamship
Japan u50 the Straits of Magellan several
years ago, and, on arrival at Rio Janeiro,
en- route, changed his mind and left the
ship. From the time he went ashore
all trace Of him was lost. Subsequently,
it was reported that he left Brazil for Lis
bon in a bark, which was shortly after
wrecked, and his death was regarded as a
certainty. His widow in the meantime
was discOnsOlate, and mOurned her hus-
band as all affectionate widows are
bound to. Time passed, and the woman
eInigrated to the interior of the State. A
month ago the husband returned, having,
If seems been in BuenOs AYres for seven
years, and the nrSt thing he did was to IN
quire for his wife, but she was as COM
pletely lost as he had been so long before.
He advertised for her, and received let
ter stating that she was dead, and, sure
enough, in a cemetery he found a record
that Mary Morrison had been buried four
years. Evidently resolved to have a wife
anyhow, the man in two weeks welded
another, and set up housekeeping in East
Eighteenth street in this city. One week
ago he was startled by his former wife
walking into his apartments and rushing
eagerly into his arms. A brief eXplana-
ton sufficed. The dead woman was an
other Mary Morrison, and she had come
back in response to the newspaper notice
another evidence of the power of adver-
Using. The situation was serious, but
Morrison seems to have been equal to it.
He called his second wife, and told her
frankly the position of things. Then he
proposed that they should all live together,
Mormon fashion, and he would take care
of both. Strangely enough the weak
women consented, and here we have
Mormon arrangement in full force. Their
gossiping neighbors understand it, and
probably there will yet be another chapter
to the sequel.-N. Y. Cor Chicago I'rib-
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1877-01-04

an ellipse or oval in form. The upper
side of the retort is perforated with numer-
Gus small holes for the expulsion of the
gases arising from the subject The oil is
introduced into the furnace at the bottom
of the retort chamber by placing the con-
Quoting pipe from the tanks into a metal
receiver, where the oil burns. the flame
rising and completely surrounding there
tort. Registers are placed in the sides of
the furnace for the admission of air,
which combines with the hydrogen Of the
oil, making heat so intense as to nearly
consume all the carbon, and consequently
it gives forth but little smoke It is the
intention to place the body in the retort
without the coffin, which can readily be
done by plan devised for this purpose,
and thereby preventing the wood ashes
from mingling with those of the body
Every problem thus far advanced has
been solved. No odor whatever arises
from the furnace. 1t is simple in its con-
struction and very economical in its
operation, costing about fifty cents to heat
the furnace-which can be done in one
hour-and completely reduce the corpse.
The door of the retOrt is so constructed
that the body can be seen during the pro
cess of incarceration. The Howard
Brothers have made a drawing of the
furnaces and also design of the crema-
tory to contain the furnace, which is very
novel in its character, and intend placing
1t on exhibition for the benefit of those in
tereSted. Pittsburgh Leader. E9

Keep Stock Warm.

A COW FED on twenty pounds of hay
daily, having no shelter in the winter sea-
son, except perhaps an open shed about
to tumble down, would be in no better
condition in the spring than she would be
if fed on fifteen pounds daily, and kept in
warm stable at night, and allowed the
run OF the barnyard in pleasant weather
This is a result that has substantially been
proved a thousand times. Now we will
compute the loss to a farmer on ten COWS.
which are left through the winter on the
unprotected system; and many barns
afford but slight warmth to stock over the
open air, being boarded up vertically,
with cracks between the boards from a
half inch to an inch wide, and all such
barns come under the losing system of
wintering stock. 1t would be fair to esti
mate hay to be worth fifteen dollars ton
as an average value throughout the coun-
try. Ten COWS not well protected will re-
quire fifty pounds day more than when
kept in a warm stable, for at least four
months, or 112 days, worth 3715 cents
daily, or during 112 days, forty-tWo dol
lars. Probably the loss on each animal,
no matter how fed, would be at least five
dollars; consequently, farmers who study
their own interests build warm barns, but
so as to be we'll ventilated in mild weather,
and thus save enough in fodder in few
years to pay the cost of them. But much
can be done with old buildings to make
them warm; battens can be nailed over the
cracks, the roofs can be repaired, doors
made to shut close, and thus the comfort
of domestic animals can be enhanced, to
say nothing of the saving in fodder.
Farmers, do you realize this important
fact? Some of you do not seem to realize
it at all and such men are always talking
of Z" hard times being slack in all they
dO.--FG7rner's Friend.
