no more. The memory OF those old

had been left alone overpowered her.
She turned away her head to hide her
emotion. Monsieur Lamont pressed
her hand, bowed over it, and Kissed it

SnOW.Slides In Utah.

Great as has been the severity of the
present winter in the east, with its
biting cold and heavy falls of snow, it
has been "ethereal mildness itself in
comparison with the terrible GOODNESS
and inclemency which have marked it
at the far west, where the thermome-
ter has in several instances indicated
80 or 35 below zero, and the snow has
almost buried city and town under its
drifts. In Utah, for instance, snow has
fallen almost continuously in the Wah-
satch Mountains, about the heads of
the Little aud Big Cottonwood Rivers,
ever since Christmas, and the sufferings
of miners and others have been III
tense. This has been the case especial
ly about the mining town Of Alta. This
town is surrounded by mountains which
are in some places 5000 feet high. The
sides being denuded of trees, the snow
has accumulated in dense masses, and
ava!anches have been of frequent oc-
currence. Three weeks ago, a snow
slide carried away a man who was
caught in its track. The storm in
creased in fury, the snow falling in
sheets, and the wind blowing hurri-
cane. On the night of the 18th anoth-
er slide occurred near the town. carry

400 feet of, railroad sheds, and sweep

slide passed over the Victoria and I'M
perial Houses, burying two men, who
dug their way out in ten hours. Con-
tinuing, it swept away the Grizzly
boarding house, in which We're eight
persons, of, whom four were killed.
About the same time another slide
smashed and buried the Toledo Works
and boarding house, killing two other
persons. On the two following days
work was stopped at the principal
mines and many of the men left the
canyon for the valley. The storm con-
tinued and increased in fury, the wind
blowing gale and piling the snow just
over the crest of the hill north of Alta
on the Alta side The great weight
started another slide, half mile wide,
on the night of the 14th, which would
have completely demolished Alta but
that it was split and partially diverted

sity. l could not have obtained a de-
gree, because was a Nonconformist
and moreover, it was better thing for
me to pursue my studies under an adj
mirable scholar and tender friend, and
preach at the same time. I must have
been singularlooking youth on wet
evenings During the last year of my
stay in Cambridge, when I had given up

forth every night in the week except
Saturday, and walked three, five, or per-

you must get into the water; and if you
at the first make sorry exhibition,
never mind, for it is by swimming as
you can that you learn to swim as you

with beginners, for they will do better
by-and,by. If young speakers in Cam

Strange to say the apricots are gene

this by supposing they have thick COW

never get killed in the bud (before bloom

protection or coating over the bud which
is the future peach, and hence the easier

ened by over-zealous advocacy, and such
is decidedly the case with ensilage. Its
advocates, not content with setting forth
it's substantial and undeniable advantages,
also claim for it others which it does not,
and in the nature of the case, cannot
possess. They claim for ensilaged corn
fodder that the softening and fermen-
tive process which it undergoes in the
silos largely increases its value-doub-
ling it, according to Mr. Bailey. 1t was
to the discussion of this branch of the
subject, viz, the influence of ensilage
upon the quality and quantity of the fod-
der, that my article was devoted, while
the practical advantages of ensilage as a
method of preserving corn fodder, were
not touched upon at ALL Moser's expert
ment were selected as the basis of that
article simply because they are the only
experiment yet reported which furnish
the necessary data for discussion of this
question as related to maize.
Mr.. Bailey takes no exception to the
logic by which the conclusions of that
article were reached, but simply denies
the premise that Moser's "sour maize, y
were essentially the same thing as his
ensilage.
In the absence of any possibility of a
direct comparison of the two. we can rely
only on the evidence of verbal description
and of chemical analysis. The brown
maize" (and it will be remembered that
it was sample of brown maize which
served as the basis of my calculation OF
expense) is described as having ian
agreeable sour taste and smell not at
all disagreeable, but often why This
description, though brief, tallies we'll with
those of undoubted ensilage. 1t may also
be remarked, in passing, that brown
maize" is not necessarily brown in color
any more than blackbirds are always
black. The "sour maize" is descided as
having a penetrating and disagreeable
smell, due to the presence of butyric
acid, and in this respect it docs differ
from ensilage. Mr.. Bailey, however,
produces analyses by Prof. Goessmann of
green maize and ensilage from his own
farm, which, according to him, show that
sllos properly constructed preserve en-
sllage without loss of water or other
element. The analyses are as follows
