and bind each of the four sides of the

ingn them together Make a cover in
the same way. The bottom needs no
kid piece, but should be neatly covered
on both sides with the same material as
the lining Fasten in one end small
cushion for pins; and if you choose to
make this a convenient travelling case
for lady, make a little stow-away for a
thimble- most gentlemen disdain to use
one Partition off an inch at the other
end for buttons, and you will still have
room for thread and tape. A little strap
on the inside of the cover will hold a
paper of needles, or you may make
tiny needle-book of two leaves of wool
en- goods, of color to correspond with
your lining, and fasten it on to the COW
er. Put an elastic loop in the lid, and
button on the box to keep it closely
shut. On one side of the box put a
strap to hold scissors. Place the box on
piece of kid five inches wide and about
ten inches long, lined and bound like
the box. This piece folds over the box,
tapping like an envelope on the top.
Fasten it with loop and button. This
wrapper may have straps to hold vari-
Gus convenient adjuncts to the work-box

governor of the newly organized terri
tory Of Utah, in 1S49, but the commits
sion was soon revoked, a. the Mormons
began to assert their independence by
driving out the federal judges. The
history Of Brigham Young from this
time is familiar to all. 1t has certainly
been Il strange one. In the midst Of an
enlightened republic, where bigamy is
an oflense punishable by severe penal
ties, this remarkable impostor has sue
ceedcd in attaching to his so-called
church over 100000 members. That
he has been the instigator Of the black
est crimes, there is scarcely the shadow
of n doubt, and plying death has
snatched him from an ig%nominious fate
at the hands Of the law.
At the timeof his death, Brigham had
eighteen wives and siXty-four children;
he had during his life thirty-threc wives
and about one hundred and twenty
children. His son Joseph Young, it is
said, will succeed him IA president of
his so-called church.

A WORD of caution to men operating
thrcshing machines might be the means
Of saving some lives. The newspapers
of Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa are daily called upon to chronicle
The most distressing accidents TO men
engaged in threshing grain. Many Of
these accidents might be avoided by the
exercise Of u little caution. This is GER
tainIy true of that most frequent and
fatal accident of fallinginto the cylinder
while climbing over the top of the ma
chine to reach the elevator, The table
from which the feeder receives the grain
il necessarily worn as smooth rs ice and
this is equally true Of the soles of the
boots of the thrcshcr who is continually
walking in, or standing ON straw, 50 that
it is exceedingly careless to YER pass
over the table and cylinder when the
machine is running. One half of all the
terrible accidents tothreshers are caused
10y this dangerous habit. This class of
accidents should never occur.

LIE constant ligIllnS uufHlS illc past
week, both around Kars in Asia, and
in the Balkan mountains has been Sc
we're III the extreme. The result thus
far has been favorable to the Russian
arms, although the Turks have re-
claimed some territory. IT is difficult
to understand the motive of the Turks
in making these advances upon the
intrenched lines Of the Russians. In
Asia especially there seems to have
been no good reason for the Turks taxi
ing the offensive. The Turkish lines
around kars were unhrokcn, and there
was no prospect Of an attack from the
Russians. There was no military adj
vantage to be gained, unless Mukhtar
pasha hoped to destroy the Russian
army by falling upon it by a surprise.
If such was his intention he is now bet
ter informed as to the fighting qualities
Of the Russians than he was before his
recent sally against the forces Of the
Grand Duke Michael. The losses in
both armies were heavy, but the most
reliable accounts clearly show that the
Turks paid dearly for leaving their
carthworks.
In the terrible battles for possession
Of the Schipka pass through the Bal
kan mountains there was doubtless u
great military advantage ut stake. To
regain the important pass would be Of
incalculable benefit to the Turks, while
it is all important to Russia that her
armies retain possession of it. Sulei-
man pasha planned well and his sol
diers fought with desperation,
but the veteran army that
surprised the world by raising
the siege of Nicsic was unable to with
stand the storm of Russian shot and
shell that poured out of the trenches
around the Sehipka pass. a whole
week Of Wholesale slaughter has left the
Russians in possession of the pass, and
Turkey has lost 10000 of as good fight
ing mcn rs ever engaged i. conflict.
This loss the Turks were not able to
bear, and only previous shameful mill
tary management made it necessary for
them to make such a sacrifice. Now
that the combined movement of Osman
Pasha's army Mt Plevna, Mehcmet Ais
army, near Tirnoya, and Suleiman
Pasha's veteran army, south of the Bal
kans, failed To force the Russians to re
tire from their present position, it is
probable that there will be II ccs,a-
ton of hostilitics until the number of
Russian reinforcement, warrant the
Grand Duke Nicholas in again taking
the side of the offensive.

BRIGHAM YoUNG, the Ruler Of the
Mormons and chief instigator of the
Mountain Meadows massacre, died at
Salt Lake City on the evening of August
%, in the 77th year of his age, Brig
ham Young was born ut Nottingham,
Vermont, June LIST, 1901 his father was
u farmer and Of his early life nothing
is known. In 1882 he became converted
to Morvonism and appeared at kirt-
land, Ohio, where Joseph smith had
formed a sor of colony. Through that
ambition and indomitabic push that
always characterized his life, Young
rapidly made his way to the front of
the community, and in February, 1888,
he was chosen one Of the twelve apoS-
ties and sent out to make aCcCSsiOus to
thc faith. As usual in everything he
undertook his success was great and his
converts were numbered 10y hundreds.
In 1Sli, the Mormons having in the
meantime settled ut Nauvoo, Joseph
Smith undertook to inculcatc his
schemes for polygamy 10y producing
Il " revelation ON the subject. This
document, owing to the lccherous char
acter Of the prophet was received
with great dissatisfaction and in the
excitement attendant upon this new
movement violent alterations took
place, in one Of which Smith was shot
aud killed. Though there were sever
al aspirants for the leadership, Brigham
Young was elected president, and sid
ncy Rigdon, his contumacious rival,
was deliberately consigned to the care
and keeping Of the devil for Il thous.
and Years. Nauyoo gradually driltcd
into an " organized hell on earth" and
in 1915 it, charter was revoked 10y the

The statement has been running
around that sixty millions of the cur
rencv now on balance in the treasury
is the property of private owners. and
that the fact that it is allowed to lie
idle there shows the great supera-
bundance of capital in the country.
The New York Bulletin puts a
prompt stopper on the report, as fol-
lows:
There is not one dollar of paper
money deposited by private owners in
the treasury for safe keeping, much
less "sixty Millions" nor has the
treasury any authority to constitute
itself in any such sense safe deposit
institution. The deposits TO which
the Herald alludes are the legal ten
ders owned by the banks, against
which the banks receive what are
known as clearing house certificates,
these certificates being safer and more
convenient than legal tenders for eff
fecting settlements at the bank clear
ing houses. The notes thus deposited
are the lawful reserves of the parks;
and so far from the business of the
country not needing these notes, they
are the funds that are necessary to
prevent the banks from being put in
TO liquidation on the order of the
Comptroller of the Currency.
