ertheless growing numerically. Ten years
ago the Gentiles were pretty certain that
in five years the Mormons would leave Salt
Lake, but they are still here and show no
signs whatever of migrating. The theory
that the offspring of polygamous marriages
results In degeneration of stock is also
erroneous. The mothers of the children
are, as rule, ignorant, superstitious, and
degraded women, imported to work in the
fields for their husbands. The fathers are
generally Americans, at least by natural
ization, or have lived long enough in the
country to acquire the habits and charac-
teristics of Americans. As far as my OBJ
servation goes, the children are bright and
healthy, much better in fact than the
average of the parents, and compare favor
ably with the children of monogamlc
parents raised alongside of them. This
progression of species tells strongly
against the church. The parents ad-
here closely to their religion, but the
children on growing up break away from
it. The church is thus compelled to keep
up its numbers by direct importation from
abroad. As long as this can be kept up
Mormonism will not die out They now
claim 200, 600 souls in the Territory, but it
is charged that their statistics are false.
There is at present in the Territory Gov
eminent agent endeavoring to get at truth
full statistics, but his work progresses
slowly, as the heads of the church
have issued orders to the people
not to furnish him with information.
The Mormons do not fear the general Gov
eminent, and laugh at the idea of Congress
being able to pass any act which they can
not circumvent Their leaders tell them
that the Government does not dare to lay
finger on them, and they believe it. The
gist of the matter is that Mormon money
has found its way into Congress, and the
Mormons brag that their money is of more
influence than all the talk and feeling
against them. ID.

the design which will always please the
truly artistic Looking at some designs,
we get the impression that ornament was
so plentiful that the designer saw no other
means of consumption than that of bury
ing his designs in it, for we see that
there is a mass of curves, angles, shades
and leaves, but nothing else. Third, SIM
plicity of lettering is an important requi-
site, as there should be no possibility of
mistaking an E for G. or C, and the
boundaries or outlines of the letters should
be well defined. Fourth, the order of
sequence of the letters should be carefully
attended to. The common idea is, that a
certain number of letters are given with
which to make pleasing design, and so
far that IMPRESSIONS right; bus there is
something beyond this. There is the art
of so placing the letters that one can dis
tineuish at a glance the first, the CENTRAL.
and the last letter. Now the rule to be
observed to secure this result is as follows ::
the last letter OF the monogram must be
the principal feature, and must be the
largest, the boldest. and the heaviest let
ter then the first letter must be the next
in size. but the lightest in outline and
color then the central letter must be the
smallest and of an intermediate tint. Ii
the monogram is of four letters the two
intermediate must be the same size and the
second letter lighter in outline and color
than the third.-TArt Amateur.

diminished materially for the past forty
years. We must seek an explanation Of this
increased ratio of production over population
in the fact of the rapid improvement
in agricultural machinery and in its
more general use. Machine and horse
aud steam power is supplanting or supple
menting man power, and rendering the exer-
lions of man more remunerative-in other
words, adding to the value and productive
ness of mans labor Lsborers ale apt 10
think that the more machinery is used IN
production the demand and compensation
Of labor will decrease. but the con-
irary is the fact. Wages have been
steadily on the increase in this country
for the past forty years. and have kept pace
in that increase remarkably in proportion to
the increased production of labor. 1t Will be
seen that the product Of wheat per head OF
| population in 1879 was more than fifty per
cent. greater than in 1S49, or that the ratio
| of production per head was more than
doubled in the last thirty years. Ii this were
| the case throughout the world there would
not be much danger of famine; but we
Judge that the United States is almost, it not
| the only country, that can show so important
an Industrial fact in tkis connection. This
| fact is the more important taken in connec-
ton with eur rapid increase in population in
| natural way and by immigration. 1t would
| seem that in country where the product OF
the staff of life is becoming so much more
plentiful every year there ought not to be
much complaint OF hard times. We have not
| the figures at hand, but we know it to be a
| fact that the figures will bear out, that the
product OF wheat per head of population Is
| much greater in California than in any other
| State in the Union or the world.

WHEAT RUsT.-A writer in the New
York Times says in regard to the rust
fungus on wheat sc But there is an effect
i've means of fighting this enemy, which
should be made available now. This is the
sleeping of the seed in some protective So
luton by which the spores of the rust
fungus upon the seed may be destroyed,
and the sowing of these with the sowing
Of the seed be prevented. There are sew
eral of these solutions. The most conve-
nient are four ounces of sulphate of cop
per in gallon of water; four ounces of
soda in the same quantity of water; a
strong brine of salt; stale urine in which
the decomposition has produced abundant
ammonia. With the first and second it is
advisable to scatter fine dry lime upon the
seed as it comes moist from the solution.
The seed is stepped in the solution or the
liquid for six hours, until it has become
swollen and saturated. 1t is then .sown IN
the usual manner, and, if necessary, dried,
go as not to adhere, by exposure to air for
an hour or two. or by mixing with some
absorbent powder. With the urine, plaster
and not lime should be used. This prepa-
ration is very effective safeguard against
both rust and smut by cleansing the seed Of
it's spores or seeds.

NAPOLEON AND 0RsINL-An ex-ehief of
the secret police of Paris has written his
memoirs and in the course of them tells
several very interesting stories concerning
the late Emperor, although their truthful
ness may well be doubted. One of them is
that Napoleon became infatuated with the
charms of an Italian singer, and made ar
rangements to visit the fair ones cottage in
the suburbs of Paris. The Italian, it
seemed, was in love with the conspirator
Orsini, who was at that time plotting
against the life of the Emperor. She agreed
to give Napoleon glass of drugged wine,
and while in an insensible condition he was
to be seized by Oisini and his accomplices
and taken away for safe keeping Every
thing worked like charm, except the kid.
naping part, which was prevented by a
woman who had acted as go-between in
the acquaintance of Napoleon and the Ital-
ian woman. Having failed to secure the
Emperor alive, Orsini, a few months later,
made his celebrated attempt at assassina-
ton.
