In many cases Of disordered stom.

cure. la the violent internal aching,
termed collie, add teaspooniul Of
salt to pint Of cold water, drink it
and 60 to bed; 1t is one OF the speedi.
est remedies known. The same will
revive a person who seems almost
dead from receiving heavy fall. In
an apoplec tic fit no time should be
lost in pouring down salt and water
if sufficient sensibility remain to adj
init of swallowing; il not, the head
must be sponged with cold water until
the senses return, when salt will com.
pletely restore the patient from his
lethargy. In lit the feet should be
placed in warm water, with mustard
added, and the legs briskly rubbed,
all bandages removed from tho neck

sible. In many cases OF severe bleed.
ing of the lungs, and when other rem.
edies failed, DIR. Rush found that two
teaspooniuls of salt completely stayed
the blood. In case of bite from
mad dog, wash the part with brine
for an hour, and then bind on some
salt with rag. In toothache, warm
salt and water held to the part, renew
ed two or three times, will relieve it in
most cases. If the gums are affected,
wash the mouth with brine. If the
teeth are covered with tartar, wash
them twice day with salt and water.

4 Woman Dismembered for Revealing tbe
Secrets Of me Church.
One crime, which was committed
here only a short time sgo. | must
describe. Mrs. Maxwell came 10
Salt Lake City with her husband in
1863. Two years afterward her hus.
band took another wife, and one year
subsequent he was sealcd to third.
Mrs. Maxwell had two sons, aged res
peclively fourteen and sixteen years.
Their father urged them to 20 thro'
the Endowment House and become
Mormons, bound by all the oaths of
the Church. Mrs. Maxwell objected,
and in order to prevail over her sons
she told them the secrets Of the En-.
dowment House. The penalty for
revealing these secrets is dismember-
ment Of the body. cutting of the
throat and tearing out Of the tongue.
Mr.. Maxwell overheard his wife, be-
ing in an adjoining room, and forth
with he informed the elders, who cent
tor the unfortunate woman and her
two sons. They were taken into what
Is called the dark pit, blood.aton-
ing room under Brigham Young's
house. The woman was then stripped
of all her clothing, and then tied on
her back to a large table. Six mem
bers Of the priesthood then perform
ed their damnable crime; they first
cut Of their victims tongue, and then
cut her throat, after which her legs
and arms were severed. The sons
we're compelled TO stand by and wit.
ness this dreadful slaughter Of their
mother. They we're then released
and given twenty-iour hours to get
out Of the Territory, which was then
an impossibility. The sons went di-
rectly to the house Of friend, to
whom they related the buichery of
their mother, and getting package
of provisions they started, but on the
following morning they were both
dead-they had met the Danites. One
other case similar to the above occur.

Hall. These are truths, and the lady

if she can be guaranteed immunity

experienced matron, without being OBJ
trusive or meddlesome, can drop Il

lifted above the need of anxiety about
money may have it in her power to
cheer, by her simple notice, somebody
whose daily life is a struggle with mis-
fortune. Grand and splendid actions
may be possible to few. Small minis

The skin of boiled egg is the most
efficacious remedy that can be applied
TO a boil. Peel it carefully, wet, and
apply to the parts affected. 1t will
draw off the matter and relieve the
soreness in a few hours.
The use of benZine is recommended
for the removal of moths and ants from
furniture and wooden garments. A
small watering pot, with a tine-nozzle
sprinkler, is filed with the benzine,
which can be bought for fOrty-tive
cents a gallon, and the upholstery, car
pets or garments to be cleansed are
thoroughly sprinkled with the liquid.
Furs, fiannels, etc, may be subjected
to the same process. In a few hours
the benzine will dry out, and in day
or two the odor will have entirely dis
appeared-and much sooner if the ar
ticles are placed out in the open air.
Considerable caution is necessary in
the use of benzine, as it is highly in
tlammable. Have no fire, burning
light or matches in the room.

Summer Religion.

If man of average intelligence can
not secrete and assimilate Christian
nourishment enough in one of our
great churches in nine months to last
through the summer, his case is about
hopeless, and it Is a question whether
he is worth saving. 1t is altogether
doubtful if any arrangements have been
made to transport Christians to heaven
packed in ice. Religion is a thing to
live, to enjoy, to take into the country,
and over the oceans and round the
globe, making the heart glad and the
hand strong for all good deeds any
where. And most Christians have
vast deal more religion than they ever
use at home, religion that needs sum-
mer vacations, that Graves sunshine
and air. a religion that will not stand
without artificial props, and is in dan
ger of spelling if left to itself through
the dog days, is a vile compound and
ought to be got rid of. OF course they
will attend church wherever they are
if there is a church they can attend.
and will remember that the eye of the
Almighty One is upon them in the
country as well as in the city, in the
summer as well as in the winter. But
if they are deprived of their usual
church privileges in the summer they
will have a fair chance To do little
Christian praying and living on their
own account, and to acquire some of
that spiritual power which is the best
preparation for the feast spread by the
churches when they open in the au-
tumn.-I Christian at Work.

Religion i'm the Sick-rOOm.

A great many people would exclude
all religious conversation from the sick
room. They fear it would disturb the
patient. To talk of religion is to sug-
gest dying. But this is false idea,
that religion is especially needed in dy-
ing. If man have religion to live by,
the dying will take care of itself. If II
man bc fit to live, he need have no con-
Germ about being fit to die. Nou need
not care to know how a man died, if
you only know how he lived. SO far
from religion hindering recovery, it is
the best assistant the physician can
have. A calm faith is better than an
Odynes. "Tell me all about it, doctor"
said President Garfield after he was
shot ~ am not afraid to die That
calm, courageous faith, which makes
him "not afraid to die" is the best
foundation for the hope that he will
live. Religion may not ward off dis
ease, but it makes one vastly better
able to endure it.

Give them Water.

DR.. Murdoch says that "cholera in
fantum and kindred diseases carry off
most children that die before they are
six years of age, and these diseases
may almost always be traced to food
and drink. If fed by the bottle, the
milk is frequently sour, and the
child is often thirsty, not hungry.
1t wants water, not food but not get
ting it, it drinks the milk, which it can
not digest, then follows vomiting,
purging, and cholera infantum." Give
plenty of cold water without ice) to
children in hot weather. They will
not take too much unless overheated ;
and a child who drinks often of cold
water is much less likely to get over
heated than one who is deprived of it
He says, "Plenty of water is in most
cases a powerful preventative against
the terrible scOurge of cholera infan-

FauIt-GHderS.

Some people act as if they believed
fault-finding to be the chief end of
man. They fret and murmur without
ceasing. Nothing in their circumstan-
ces is as they think it should be. No
one in their home, social or church cir
Giles treats them as they imagine they
ought to be treated. Poor, miserable,
self-tormentors They are like foolish
children who persist in picking their
own sores. To their friends they are
like wasps singing most mercilessly

To God they are an Otfense. Their
greatest need is the healing balm of
love to sweeten their natures. Such
unhappy souls would do well to ponder
prayerfully the caution of Paul.

less made but little difference as to ap-
pearance.
One of the most amusing and at the
same time exasperating incidents of the
trip was the raid on some milk cans
which were slowed away in an inclos-
ure. No sooner were these discovered
than the boys went for them with a
rush, overpOwered the guardians, and
captured the cans in no time. Several
of the cans were overturned, and the
deck was soon flooded and slippery
with milk, in which the boys danced
and rolled with ecstacy.
On reaching BOyntOn Beach the boys
were turned loose, to disport them
selves as they chose. Most of them
Immediately started for the water,
which was soon alive with heads. The
boys enjoyed it hugely, diving, swim
ming, fiOundering about, ducking each
other, and screaming with delight.
The next thing in order was a stroll
into the country, which the managers
viewed with grave misgivings, but
were unable to prevent. An apple
orchard was temptingly in sight, and
upon this the boys descended like a
fight of lOcusts on a field of green
wheat. In ten minutes every tree was
climbed and stripped, and the boys re-
turned to the barge laden with spoils,
pursued in vain by the infatuated own
er, who loudly but Intellectually de-
manded twenty-five dollars damages.
The young rascals replied with exasp-
Grating jeers and vOlleys of his own
apples. On board the barge they en-
iOyed mimic fights all the way home,
and apples flew about the deck as
thick as hail-stOnes. One boy went
aboard with his shirt filled out on all
sides to his waistband with his share
of the fruit. A mischievous cOmrade
gave the shirt a pull, and sent his
plumber rolling over the deck.
i With all their mischief and rude hi
larity the boys were not maliciously
inclined, and if they handled each
other roughly, it was only their way OF
amusing themselves. One incident de-
serves to be mentioned. Most of the
boys devOured their pie, cake, and
sandwiches almost as soon as they
were on board; but one little fellow
was observed getting off at night with
his paper bag under his arm. "HellO
Johnny" cried one of his comrades
| why uluH yer eat yer SiHuWlCHcS
''rm takin' 'em home to jim. He was
sick, and couldn't go, and Pm takin

Unless Johnny had secured two bag:
of provisions, he must have gone hun.
CRY all day for the sake of giving his
sick friend or brother a share of the
fun; but, in any case, it was kind
and thoughtful act.
The trip home was the counterpart
of the trip to the beach. The boys en-
joyed themselves immensely, thanks
to the liberality of Mr.. Starin and il
was certainly kind deed to give then
one good day in their dreary lives
But it would be well, in future excur,
sions to prevent offenses like the spoil

Thou KnOwcsi Best.

II seems such a woful waste
OF precious talent and time
To be lying here day after day,
Just in my life's best prime.
With such a weight on my breast,
And such a mist in my brain,
That little or nothing know
Save that living is only pain;
When ! might be doing some work,
Or saying some excellent word
To hasten Thy kingdom on
But Thou knowest best o Lord
There is so much work TO be DONE
So many mouths TO be fed
So many furnishing souls
Crying for living bread
SO many little ones Loaf
In by-ways crooked and cold,
To be tenderly sought and led
Into Thy safe sweet fold -
Messems that no willing hand
Rejected should be or ignored
(Not even this poor one Of mine)-
But Thou knowest best, o Lord
Worst Of it all there is need
OF so much labor within
Such deep-down rOOtlets Of i'll
So subtly spring up into sin;
1t would take my very best powers
To crop them fast as they shoot,
And give To the plants Of grace
Fair room for blossom and fruit -
But closer bound with these pains
Than with any chain or cord
count my lost days drift by
But Thou knowest best, o Lord
Thy purposes will not fail
Because of my idleness
The stars in their courses fight
For the cause which Thou dost bless;
The angels move at Thy word
Swifter than light of sun,
And the patient soul works best
When it prays. Thy will be donel"
1t may be that never again
shall march with the plough or sword :
