A Mormon Marriage.

When Caroline Owen went to the en-
dowment house, says a Salt-Lake paper,
she entered at the north door and gave
her name to the recorder. She then
passed inside to be washed, taking off
her clothes until she was as naked as the
hour she was born. She was then
washed from head to foot AfterwarI
she was covered with oil and blessed by
the holy priestess.-She then put on her
new garments, and received her new
name in a whisper by the officiating
priestess, the woman who lied so beau
tifully in court. Passing along she came
before the Great Jehovah and Elohim,
they being in another room, and COM
menced reading the ritual of the order:
'Let us go down and make man," etc,
which is all too tedious to mention.
Miss Owen passed on from one change
to another, having her robes and her
apron on to appear before the master of
ceremonies to receive the oaths. Stand
ing straight, as shown by the elder,
bringing her right arm at an angle, then
placing it across her throat as the terri
bic words were uttered by th6oficiating
priest, then drawing and extending her
arm straight out and bringing it back to
right angle, striking it straight to the
earth, interpreting the oaths as spoken,
that her throat should be cut from ear
to ear,that her heart should be cut out.
and that she be disemboWeled and her
body be buried in the depths of the sea,
etc., if she should divulge anything per-
tanning to the ceremonies performed in
that house.
This is not all the oath by a great deal.
Mic Ill
signs, tokens, etc. There are several of
these which only the faithful can under
stand.
Miss Owen then passed on to the other
degrees, prayer circles, etc. Passing on
ward and upward, she came to the veil
or arch. This being previous to her
marriage, John Miles was on the inside
of theveil or arch, Caroline on the out
side. Then the compass and square
were cut over her heart. There was
only sheet to separate John from Car
oline.
Then John whispered in her ear and
told her the new name she had received
below. Nobody on earth knows what
that name is but John and Caroline. He
then brought Caroline through the veil
or arch to be married. Joseph F. Smith
sat Immediately opposite at the table;
John stood at the right and Caroline at
the left After tine usual questions were
put and answered, the marriage was pro-
ceeded with and finished, John and
Caroline walking to the sealing-room,
where Joseph F. Smith saton the throne
and later stood at the door. Miss Owen
walked around to the north side of the
altar, and Miles remained on the south
side. Joseph F. Smith proceeded with
the ceremony. John and Caroline were
kneellng, when Joseph F. told them to
clasp hands across the altar and kiss
each other, which they did. He then
sealed them up to everlasting life, to
come forth in the morning of the first
resurrection to receive power forever
and ever. Amen.

OF the prince of Wales and Dr. Lyon
Playfair, is told that they were once
standing near Il caldron containing lead,

said the doctor. Certainly" replied the
prince. "Will you, then, place your
hand in the boiling metal and ladle out
a portion of itP' ''Do you tell me to do
this?" asked the prince. II do" replied
the doctor. The prince then ladled out
some of the boiling lead with his hand
without sustaining any injury. It is a
well-known scientific fact that the hu.
man hand may be placed uninjured in
lead boiling at white heat, being pro
tected from any harm by the moisture
of the skin. Should the lead be at a
preceptibly lower temperature, the eff
feet need not be described After this
let no one underrate the courage of the
prince Of Wales,

Big Guns in TUrrgfS,

Within a few years, says the New
York Herald, national preparations for
war have become a sort of rivalry as to
what country could make the largest
cannon or put the heaviest plates on
ships. One day it was reported that a
certain government had made gun that
could easily send a missile through ten
inches of iron, and all the world be-
ieyed for at least twenty four hours that
this cannon had circumvented the pes
tilent contrivance of armor clad ships.
Next day came the report that some gov
ernment had covered a ship with twelve
inch plates. Then came the story Of
gun ten tons heavier, that could pierce
twelve-inch plates. Then they used
fourteen inch plates, and then ten tons
more were added to the weight of the
gun, and so the government kept on in
a rivalry not Improbable to the iron
founders and plate rollers, but tough on
the tax payers. It was matter of ra-
tional curiosity for a great while what
would be the limit of this sort of seasaw
between guns and armor; and the catas-
trophe on board the Thunderer seems to
indicate the direction in which the limit
is to be found. The iron founders art
NOOo AO9 ASOE1 PAOe5AO9o WIN OAAO ASSN III
increased power in cannon, since cast
ings beyond a certain size cannot be
certainly made without flaws; and how
ever these great guns are built up, the
basis is always a casting. Armor can be
put on ships as heavily asit can be
floated, and it does not lose in quality
by the addition. Guns lose in quality
in proportion to the addition of weight.
1t is easier to increase the resistance'to
the direct operation of force than to in
crease the power of an implement in
which scarcely calculable forces are to
be developed. Since the mania for this
sort of artillery seized upon governments
these cannon have never been brought
into actual use in any war, and when
they are they may prove worse for the
many in the turrets than for anybody
outside.

How MiIIlOnaires Invest their Money.

1t is surprising that money-lenders are
so indisposed TO accept out-of-town Sc
curities. Such, however, is the case,
and hence, while millions are waiting
investment, lenders will not notice ap-
plications from the country. One jour
nal advertises nearly S2,000,O00, but city
security is wanted. Nearly one-half the
above sum is offered by one broker, who
represents several large estates. Heavy
loans on the very best property can be
had at per cent, but on second-rate
property, such Gs tenement houses,
livery stables, etc, 6 per cent. IS de-
manded. Tho Astors do not led on
mortgage, but prefer governments The
reason is found i'll their obiectiC'. fC ap-
pearing in public prints as partic, % iat-
closure suits. Other prominent 4 tai
lists, such as James LenoX, Peter Go,
and Robert L. Stuart, adopt q similas
policy. They purchase frst-class rail-
way bonds in large sums; also city bonds,
the issue of which amounts to $4,000,
600. hispersonal property, is very care
fully kept. The Astors have large
safe, which is always guarded. It prob
ably contains $25,000,000 of such securi-
ties. The Sife Security company prob
ably has SlC0,0000C0 in its care, and
here 10 robbery or defalcatiOn has ever
been known. There is probably $500,
CC0,000 of personal property held in New
York city, almost all of which escapes
taxation. This estimate does not include
merchandise, but simply capital.
