A WOnaam's Wit.

A woman's advice is generally
worth having; so, if you are in any
trouble, tell your mother or your
wife or your sister all about it. BE
assured that light will flash upon
your darkness. Women are too
commonly judged verdant in all but
purely womanish affairs. No philo-
sophical students of the sex thus
judge them. Their intuitions or in
sight are most subtle, and if they can
not see a cat in the meal there is no
cat there. advise a man to keep
none of his affairs from his wife.
Many a home has been saved and
many fortune retrieved by a mans
confidence i'm his wife. Woman is
far more seer and prophet than
man, If she be given a fair chance.
As general rule the wives confide
the minutest of their plans and
thoughts to their husbands. WHY
not reciprocste, if but for the pleas
ure of meeting confidence with con-
fidence2 The men who succeed best
in life are those who make conf
dantes of their wives.

Costly Weddings.

Getting married in New York
that is getting married in anything
like style, costs money. A writer
who has given the matter consider
able study announces that in the city
named wedding of 1000 guests,
with ushers and bridesmaids, exclu-
sive of bridal dress and trousseau,
ranges anywhere between 81 800 and
$500. A thoughtful father is said
to have recently put his intended
son-in-law up to eloping with his
daughter on the express ground of
economy.
Ii is better to slide out into the
rural districts where 50 will amply
requite a justice of the peace for
tying the knot just "a securely as it
can be tied by a.priest in clerical
robes. Ii isn't near 80 much trouble,

Lori Byron was not far out of the
way When he defined fame as "being
killed in battle and having your
name spelled wrong in the Gazette. "
There is good deal of emptiness in
fame. Some of the first men of the
world whose names have been, and
will b., revered by succeeding gen.
erations, have been called upon to
suffer disrespect through being per-
sonallJ unknown. The words of
BunthOrne: "Oh, hollow, hollow,
hollop'p may well be applied to
world y honors. Horace Greeley
was once relegated to the attic of a
Chicago hotel, as being a party of
no particular consequence. Prof
Agsss was characterized as a crazy
Dutch man trying to catch bugs.

teers by sentry who didn't know

Having a Competency.

have a neighbor who is always
so busy that he has no time to laugh !;
the whole business of his life is TO
get money, more money, that he may
still get more. lie is still drudging,
saying that Solomon says: "The
diligent hand maketh rich" And
it is true, indeed, but he considers
not that it is in the power of riches
to make a man happy, for it was
wisely said by a man of great OBJ
servation: "That there be as many
miseries beyond riches as on this
side of them." And yet, heaven de-
liver us from pinching poverty and
grant that, having a competency, we
may be content and thankful.
Let us not repine, or 80 much as
think the gifts of God unequally
dealt, if we see another abound in
riches when, as God knows, the cares
that are the Keys that keeps those
riches hang often 40 heavily at the
rich mans girdle that they clog him
with weary days and restless nights,
even where others sleep quietly.
We see but the outside of the rich
mans happiness; few consider him
to be like the silk-worm, that, when
she seems to play, is at the same
time spinning her own bowels and
consuming herself. And this many
rich men do, loading themselves
with corroding cares to keep what
they have already got. Let us there
fore be thankful for health and a
competence, and, above all, for a
conscience.

Hurried Dinners.

1t is a mistake to eat quickly.
Mastication performed in haste must
| be imperfect even with the best of
teeth, and due admixture of the sa-
livary secretion with the food can
not take place. When crude mess
of inadequstelv crushed muscular
| fibre, or undivided solid material OF
any description, is thrown into the
stomach, il acts az a mechanical irri-
tant, and sets mp condition in the
mucous membrane lining that organ
which greatly impedes, if it does
not altogether prevent, the process
of digestion. When the practice of
eating quickly and filling the stom-
ach with unprepared food is habitu-
al, the digestive organ is rendered
incapable of performing it's proper
functions. Either much larger
quantity of food than would be nee.
essary under natural conditions is
required, or the system suffers from
lack of nOurishment. Those ami
mails which were intended to feed
hurriedly were either gifted with
the power of rumination or provid-
ed with gizzards. Man is not so
furnished, and it is fair to assume
that he was intended to eat slowly.
We must apologize for reminding
our readers of facts so familiar; but
we do this in the hope that any who
may chance to have Influence with
the managers of large hotels where
dinners la table d'hote are in vogue
will take measures 10 bring about a
much needed reform i'm the manner
in which these entertainments are
conducted.
At the best and most frequented
establishments in places of fashiOna-
BILE resort, where at this season null
| tltuutS vi ICdlth SCONCiS = al q " Ohl W
congregate, the hurried dinners are
not only causes of annoyance, but
actually 60 far to prevent the benefit
which should be derived from a
change. No sooner is one course
served than another is introduced,
without giving the guest time TO
digest or even to swallow the first.
The eagerness to secure good divi-
dends takes particularly mischiev-
Gus form when it piles food on the
plate of customer, and compels
him to consume it breathlessly. The
matter may seem small one, but it
is not so. Just as man may go on
for years with defective teeth, i'm
perfectly masticating his food, and
wondering why he suffers from in
digestion, so man may habitually
live under an infliction of hurried
dinners, and endure the consequent
loss of health, without knowing why
he is not well, or how easily the
cause of his illness might be rem
edied.

elders to the seventies, the seventies
to the high priests, the high priests
to the Presidents of stakes, they to
the pstriarchs, they to the twelve
apostles, and they to the President
and his high counsellOrs. Down the
same scale the orders are sent.
These leaders are the same as God
to the blinded thousands of Utah.
At the last October conference the
burden of the harangues to the peo-
pie was to impress upon them that
the chiefs, being daily and regularly
inspired by God, could make no
mistake, could do no wrong. The
discourse of Elder Orson Pratt is
full of this business, and he did not
fail to warn all who doubted that
they would be damned. At the
same conference another elder ex-
planned that the people must obey
their leaders in financial as well as
spiritual affairs, even as the people
did in the days of Moses.
Through such system it is easy
to see how an ignorant and fanatical
people are held under absolute con-
troll by the heads of the organization.
In Brigham YOung's time he was
more absolute ruler than was ever
the Car of Russia. Since his death
the President, John Taylor, and his
first counsellor, George Q. Cannon,
make the controlling power, and
give direction to the whole system.
Both are Euglishmen. A favorite
expression OF Brigham Young's used
10 be, "We follow the forms of a
republic, but this is kingdom" 1t
is kingdom, or rather despotism,
so all embracing that intelligent
Americans at a distance do not be-
lieve the truth about it when it is
told.-C. c. Goodscin, an Ha,per's
Magazine.

Fifty years ago, no one would
have believed that before the year
1881, instantaneous communication
woulC be had all over the globe,
thoug lts travelling like lightnings
along the bottom of the ocean, and
the beds Of rivers, and across the
valleys and plains, and over the tops
of the highest mountains; that men,
women and children would be able
to talk together fifty or a hundred
miles apart just as distinctly as il
they were sitting in the same room ;
that eight or ten days travel would
take us across the Continent, or from
America to Scotland /; that even light
would he made the vehicle of sound,
so that the reflection of a shadow on
bit f selenite would become aud
ible al a considerable distance; that
sound would become so intensified
that the walking of flies on a sheet
of paper would strike upon the air
like the prancing of horses, that,
witho ut the use of pencil, or paint,
or grtver, or any other tool, build
ings, and landscapes, and human
faces, and the face of the moon, and
anything else that is visible, would
be reproduced with microscopic ac-
curacy, in second of time that our
streets would be lighted with elec-
tricity, thus turning night into day !;
that .eeth would be drawn and
limbs Topped off, without giving the
slightest sensation of pain; not to
speak of a multitude of other mar
vels, with which we have suddenly
become familiar. 1t is safer now to
believe too much rather than too
little.

Mormon DespOtisIn.

The first colony that went to Utah
was composed of only few hun
dred people now the church claims
that it rules some 100000 followers
in the Territory. The first comers
had large percentage ofAmericans,
who were drawn into the tolls be-
fore the full enormities of the insti.
tuition were divulged, but of those
who have connected themselves
with the Mormon church during the
past thirty years quite nine-tenths
have been from Europe, and from
the very lowest classes of European
society. The immigration has in
creased from a few hundred annu-
ally to a few thousand. Last year
more than 5000 came, and this year
a heavy increase over that number
is expected. The children of school
age, as returned by the Mormon au-
thorities, number 10000. Those too
young to attend school, together
with those above school age and
still under the age of 25 years, must
number quite 10000 more. 1t is
clear that the Mormon kingdom in
Utah is composed of foreigners and
the children of foreigners. 1t IL
necessarily so. 1t is an institution
80 absolutely un-American in all it's
requirements that it would die of
its own infamies within twenty
years, except for the yearly infusion
of fresh serf blood from abroad.
Few Americans could ever be made
to bear the unquestiOned and un-
questioning obedience which is ex-
acted from this people. The Gov
ernmcnt ia an absolute despotism.

them to drink, and at about two
weeks old give them a little corn
which they will soon begin to eat
aud with milk and corn, you will
be able to raise all your calves.
4. During the last three years
from ten to twenty farmers and
stockmen of Dodge, Saunders and
Douglas counties have tried the ex.
pertinent of raising calves on corn
and grass exclusively, and in every
instance they have been successful.
These men claim that at year old,
calves so raised were as good as the
average of yesrlings that had been
allowed to run with the cows for
six months. What has been done
can be done. Please try it.
5. II you have not winter milk
cows we urge you to purchase some
at once. Arrangements are being
made TO have fresh cows brought
from Iows. One stock dealer as
sures us that he can bring fine ones
from there and sell them at $35
each. This lie cheap.
6. One COW bred from a milking
family is worth more to dairyman
than three poor or inferior ones.
Z. Do not think of trying to make
dairy COW Of one with which a
calf has run for two or more sea-
sons. This experiment has been
tried often, but without success. If
a COW has had the milk drawn from
her udder by the calf at her side six
to twelve times a day for two or
more seasons in succession, how is
it possible for the COW to retain her
milk so as to give full mess twice
a day?
s. Ifyou think milking cows does
not pay, we refer you to the Penn
sylvania dsirymen who are making
money by patronizing creameries.
though their land is worth from $40
to $500 per acre and where the cost
of producing winter milk is three
times as great as here.
9. The West is to be the future
dsiry section of the country. Wis
consir now makes as good cheese as
is made in America, and Iowa
creamery butter took the first prize
in 1879, when il came in competition
with butter from different parts of
Europe as well as this country.
10. Anyone desirous of hiring
laborers who are experienced milk
ers, snd landowners wishing to
engage experienced Eastern dairy
men TO take charge of dairies for a
share of the proceeds of said dairies,
can obtain desirable information by
calling on The Superintendent of the
Association.
