Stanley tells US, in the wonderfully inter.
esting book in which he describes his Jour.
ney across Africa, from Zanzibar to En-.
bomma, that one Of the results of the sensa.
ton created in England BY Livinstone's
discoveries on the Zambesi and on Lakes
Nyassa and Shirwa was the establisbmep,

Oxford and Cambridge 1t consisted OF

more, Burrup and Bawley. They reached
the Zambeal in February, 1861, and found
their first and most promising pupils and
catechumens among 14S men and women
whom, partly by force and partly by the
use Of money, they had liberated them from
slavery. But the African fever, which il
fatal in that country, attacked the missiona-
ries, and after most Of them were dead, the
survivors r.tunred to Zanzibar, where the
mission to Central Africa became but a
mere name, with which the Bishop who
succeeded Mackenzi continued to call his
station ON the island. And now Stanley
himself must be Rraiifed BY seeing that a
similar result is to follow his own discover
les, although, judging from his conversa-
tion with Mtesa, the King of the Uganda,
We can easily imagine th.t he would have
preferred another denomination to prose-
cute the great work. But in the labor of
civiling and evaDgelizing Africa all the
missionaries who risk their lives and de-
vote ali their remaining years, to the re-
clamatioa of The unciyilized beathen stand

What word are you looking for9" asked
reporter, seeing that the stranger had
failed to strike the trail.
well, said the man in burst of conf
denoe, you see I've only been married s
short time, and my wife's gone up to Tuckes
on visit, and she's written to me to look
in the bottom OF her trunk for a lot of tuck

"Tucking," said the reporter briskly,
"why, tucking is the stuff the girls make bv

drawing it back again.
Then The editor spoke up contemptuous-
y, and said that a man who was so igno-

What the reporter had described was cro-
chetine. Everybody ought TO know what
tucking was. The ladies, in making it,
used little contrivance shaped like mus

Tucking could be purchased, he believed,
Tor ten or fifteen cents a yard, and why in

making what they could get for a short lit,

answer to question from the admiring re-
porter, the editor said he had been told
that tucking was used in trimming the un-
derga,ments of the fair sex, but why things
should be ornamented which fellow would
get licked for trying TO look at-or perhaps
shot-was beyond his comprehension.
The married stranger said the editor was
mistaken that the article he mentioned
was not tucking-it was tatting. That he
knew for a fact.
The editor observed that when a man

Poultry Rais,ng in Kansas

The breeding Of poultry seems 10 b..
somewhat neglected in Kansas. True, mes r.
ly every farmer keeps a flock of monsre.s.
and they roost where they can pick the
living around the corn cribs and grain
stacks, steal their nests and hatch wherr
they choose, and no care Is taken in the
mating of the fowls WecanLot make rais-
ing poultry and eggs for market pay -
we'll as it does in the eastern and middle
states, but every farmer ought to raise
enough for his own use, and use plenty OF
eggs and chickens for the table and lss-
pork. Keep some pure breed and give
them suitable quarters, and feed. WHAT
may write for the Former will be what
have learned by several years experience
in breeding so-called fancy poultry" and
| in that time l have had nearly every vari
ETY. known OF land and water fowl, pigeons,
ETC., that are breed in the country, under
my care. And please re remember that

Some may think breeding fancy poultry
small business. But it has proved.a pay
ing business in some localities. A flock Cf

going TO work wonders, but had too mapy

business.
Fowls need a good shelter in cold and

fowls. l have not bad any experience with
cholera, so-called, 50 l will not say any
thing about it.
Fowls need a variety of food, and part of
it should be ground. Too many farmers
feed steady diet of corn and nothing else.
1t seems to me that Kansas must be the
poultry breeders paradise. Plenty of
cheap feed, plenty of room, and mild eli
mate. Not like the New England winters,
snow from November to April, and cold
most of the time, thermometer ranging as
low as S6o below zero, and below zero sew

RELIGIOUS RITES,

in the Jewish synagogue was performed,

here at that specified age to be confirmed a.
an Israelite, and to accept willingly to live
within the instruction Of our Divine law,
which was revealed to Moses on the Mount
Sina. That law consists OF two parts; one
part Of it is our duty we owe to our God !;
how to serve him in thought and action,
the second part is our duty and respect to
our fellow men. This part wherever it
was accepted by other nations, elevated
their character and moral standard it en-
Iightened them, it civilized most all nations.
The civil and criminal codes all over the
world rerts on the basis OF our Bible. Law,
justice, charity, love to each other, origi-
mates in our Holy Scripture.

serve him and observe his precepts. The
first primary step is to believe that there

SALT LAKE, Utah, October 10 I'm the fall
Of 1851, at the time Johuson's command
was approaching Salt Lake, six men, call
ed The Aiken Party" arrived in Utah
from G. lifornia on their way east. They
were well supplied with animals and mon
sy. They were arrested near Ogden as
spies, but four OF them were released by the
Mormon authorities and
PUT UNDER THE E-CORT
Of Porter Rockwell, John Latt, John Muir
dock and Sylvanus CAllett, to be escorted
out of the territory. They were taken
south as far as Sewer river, where two OF
them were murdered and all their animals
taken. Two Of the party who were only
wounded returned to Nephi on foot, after
several days, during which their wounds
were dressed. They were started north
on a light wagon, but not far distant, the
two surviving
MEN WERE SHOT,
and their bodies thrown into a spring, from
which they We're afterwards fished out.
One of the escor,ing party, Sylvsnus Cal
lett, is now on trial Provo, for the muir
der. So far as stated, evidence is conclu-
sive, but positive evidence, as yet, is that
the murder was committed by Callett. The
trial is still progressing.
