A saving woman at the head Of the
family is the very best saving bank
established-one receiving deposits
daily and hourly. with no costly ma.
chinery to manage il. The idea Of
saving Is pleasant one, aud if the
woman would initiate at once they
would cultivate and adhere to il, and
when they we're not aware of il, would
he laying the foundation Of a security
in a short time, and shelter in a rainy
day. The woman who sees to her
own house has large field to work
in. The best way to make her com-
prehend il Is to have an account kept
of current expenses. Probably not
woman out Of ten has any idea how
much are the expenditures of herself
and family. When from one to two
thousand dollars are expended annu.
ally, there is chance to save some
thing IL the effort is made. Let the
housewife take the idea, act upon il,
and she will save many dollars-per-
haps where before she thought it i'm
possible. This is a duty, yet not a
prompting Of avarice, but q moral
obligation that rests upon woman as
well as upon the man.

REMARKAALE MORMON MARRIAGE.
But the most remarkable case Of in.
cestuous intermsrriage which ever
happened in the Territory is thus de
scribed; A certain bishop of the Nor
mon Church married a widow with
two daughters, which will be named
Ann AMI Mary, for the purpose Of
stating the conditions Of this marital
problem. After Ann and Mary grew
up the bishop married them also. BY
the mother he had a son named james;
by Mary he had a daughter named
Sallie, and by Ann he had daughter
named Jane. Jim married Sallie, and
had son named John. AIMS daugh-
ter Jane, married John, and had a
son named Richard. The problem,
or, rather problems. are: What rela-
ton is John to the bishop, to his own
mother and father, and to the bishops
wife and her immediate children

Friday night a smart young man
who lives out on Maple street found a
toad hopping around in the garden,
and thought il would be capitol joke
to put it in a table drawer and let il
hop suddenly out and frighten his
wife. Before he could close the draw.
er he was called into the adjoining
room, and forgot all about the toad,
which during the night hopped out on
the floor, and crawling into vacant
boot, passed pleasant night of it.
The next morning the household was
Mortified by shrieks Of masculin dis.
tress, and an old woman on the other
side Of the street going home from
market, was knocked into the middle
of next week by a flying boot that
came crashing through front win

Of whisky to settle his nerves, and
sail this custom Of PLAYING practical
Jokes on people was as dangerous as it
was foolish, and if he ever caught
any body fooling around his boots
again with toads or anything else, he
would teach him a salutatory lesson.
