A bartender always takes theopposite view
of everything. The other day Mr.. Gallagher
was in Court street saloon and tipped his
chair back and went over and jammed his
head into cuspadur and was considerably
hurt. The incident annoyed him, and the
bartender told him he hadn't ought to swear.
Gallagher said that under the influence of
sudden, pain five men out of six would swear.
The bartender would not believe it, and the
result was bet. Then, for the test, Gala.
CHER got an ordinary brick and heated it
fearfully hot and placed it on the marble bar.
Now brick doesn't show heat, and therefore,
it was not surprising that when Mr.. Cuff
came in and saw the brick on the bar he
should pick it up. He, however, showed no
disposition to put it in his pocket, or do any.

and after freeing his mind of some uuholy

was Chinaiman, and he spoke every word Of
English he knew, and two. thirds Of what he

in sucking his fingers and watching for the

upon the bar, his language sounded like after

MISERABLE MoRMoNs-In Salt Lake
City, the Mormons hold a prayer circle at the
"altar of prayer" in the Endowment House,
on all special occasions. The leading priests
and elders lock arms, join hapds and form
circle around the altar. The officiating high
priest joins the circle with his left hand, and
raises bis right hand heavenward and prays
fervently. The Mormops say that the elee-
trio current Of prayer passes from the circle
through the high priest uP to the throne of
heaven, and is the most powerful and effect.

NEATNEss IN WoMEN.-A woman may be
handsome or remarkably attractive in various
ways; but if she is not personally neat, she
cannot hope to win admiration. Fine clothes
will not conceal the slattern. A young wo-
man with her hair always in disorder and her
clothes hanging about her as if suspended
from prop, is always repulsive. Slattern is
written on her person from the crown of her
head to the soles of her feet, and if she wins
a husband, he will turn out, in all probabili.
ty, either an idle fool or drunken ruftian.
The bringing up of daughters to be able to
work, talk and act like honest, sensible young
women, is the special task of all mothers, and
in the Industrial ranks there is imposed also
the prime obligation of learning to respect
household work for its own sake, and the
comfort and happiness it will bring in the fu-
ture. Housework is. druid dgery but it must
be done by somebody, and had better be we'll
than i'll done.
MILKING YoUNG Cows-It is said that
young COWS, the first year they give milk,
may be made, with careful milking and good
keeping, to give milk almost any length of
time deemed desirable but that if they are
allowed to dry up early in the fall, they will,
if they have calf at the same season, dry
up at the same time each succeeding year,
and nothing but extra feed will prevent it,
and that but for short time at ..'. !.
INGRowING NAILs.-Take little tallows
and put it into spoon and heat it over
lamp until it becomes very hot; then put it
on the sore or granuation. The effect will
be almost magical. The operation causes
very little pain if the tallow is perfectly heat
