Mormon Tithing.

A correspondent of the St. Louis
Globe Democrat writes of the Nor
mon Tiihing-house salt Lake City
with a slight knowledge of its. work
ings. He cohveys The impression
that lis funds are legitimate pluldcr
for the church officials, and that the
faithful are taxed to starvation by
the church. This is all bosh. The
system is the basis of one of the best
beneficiary institutions of our coun-
try. 1t is a policy of the Mormon
church to txtond its settlements as
widely as possible. 1t require, not
on y hard and enduring muscle and
determined spirit, but very hard
cash to transform a dark wilderness
or an arid plain into blooming
farms. The poor pioneers are well
sup. lied by the church with every
necessity for several years, until
their farms return profitable yield
for their industry, when through
yearly ontributio on OF tithes the
church becomes reim bursed for the
original outlay. 1t is an admirable
system. and forms one of the strong
est features Of MorInonism. Its
practical workings can be seen in all
parts of Arizona, and 1t has built up
some of our most prosperous settle
ments.- CITIZEN.

not exceed $50. Tie bottom and

eggs will, adhere to whatever they
touch, and will soon ha.ch. The

Mud in the bottom of the pond is
very beneficial. The fish will feed

not be for many years, These cattle

nor for work oxen. They are brt &
almost exclusively for the dsiry,
AMI, with the exceptions noted, it is
rare circumstance to find more
than four or five in the possession of
one individual. They are admirably
adapted for small places, and their
rca arkable dairy qualities are so
well known that no description ls
here needed. They are the pets of
suburban places, and are so much in
favor tbAt they bring large prices,
as the recent sales in this vicinity
demonstrated. Tho owner of the

The Ayrshire COW In her native pa :
ture is a deep mixer and most sat

They will take on flesh readily, and

This strain Of blood is NOW rccog-
nized in some of the more cxtensi We
dairies of the State. The sale Of the
large he'd of Ayrshires belonging
to Mr.. Coutts, last year, tended to
make this class of cattle better
known in this State. At the public
sale they brought low prices, and it
Is doubtful if the owner got back
the cost of his imporlaiions and
later brce ling. But he had the sat
isfactlon of seeing his fine herd
scattered among the farmers and
dairymen in this State, although it
could net have bren Il satisfaction TO
find how little 'hese cattle were ap-
precIated at the time of the sale.
The Herefcrtls have already got

propagation OF thoroughbred cattle.

sr4pert women type writers.

A rcmnnerat;ve employment has
been found for women in the use ol
the type-wriling machine. 1t is not
an unusual thing for a very expert
manipulaior of the machine to earn
$40 or $12, or even more, in a single
day, at copying legal documents.
The old fashioned method of pro-
dncing :opios of legal papers 10y
! manuscript was long since partly
supplantcd by the work of the copy
ing press and other mechanical &c
vice for copying. But, by the fail
ure of chemicals, the carelessness OF
operators, or other causes, it often
happens that the copying press talls
10 produce n good copy and also
spoils the origi.al. Judge Batch
ford once issued an order that no
copying press copies of documents
should be received IN his court. He
had got tired trying to dec pher the
blurred and shadOwy pages. The
type-writing machine has proved a
boon 10 lawyers AID judges in fur
nishiag legible copies of official doc
uments. The old-fasbioncd carbon
parer, or something akin to it, is
put in the machin,, and several cop
les may be printed at once.
The operation of printing is much
like that of playing on the piano.
There is keyboard of the letters,
and the facility OF printing is meas
ured by the dexterity of the opera-
tor. 1t has been found. taat the del
icate touch Of woman is peculiarly
adapted 10 this work. Some OF them
can write with a type writing ma
chine as fast as the most expert pen
man, and they Will keep 1t up longer
than is customary with the pen. L:
is now quite common for stenc-
graphers In the law courts 20 dictate
their notes of the testimony to type
writers, who al one operation pro-
duce copies for both counsel and
court. The swiftness and exactness
with which the work is done is mar
velous.
Preliminary education-above all,
the capacity to spell we'll and
promntly-is requisite with the
expert typewriter. There are a
number of firms of women who do
type-writing for lawyers and others.
There are also considerable numbers
of women who combine type-writing
with stcnography. Clerks posses
sing this double skill are employed
by many merchants. The moment
letter is received the reply is die

could withstand, he has "stuck to

right, and Prof. Shaffer has the
satisfaction of now knowing that

Letter From VuIture.

ED. HERALD: Wickenberg is OF
fire; the business part of the town is
in flames: all the fire engines arc
out, but 10 no avail. The fire origi
mated in Mr.. Peoples saloon, kept by
Mr. Barney. A detective flue was
the cause. The fire spread very rap
idly-could not save anything. The
frcmen did the best they could
Gre effort was made to save the
billiard table, but it could not be
done. One man, by running out of
baIlding to save his life, ran aga inst
the cross-bar of the door and broke
three ribs on the left 81 lie of his
nose. Now he has his nose in this
city, undergoing treatment.
The fire soon spread to the tele-
graph office, and the heat was so in
tense that nothing could be saved
out Of that. The operator called on
Maricopa, but the office was burned
down before he could get ready TO
get the instruments out. More than
one half the town is in ruins Every
thing looks dead on that side of the
plaza.
1t was a great effort to save Mr..
Grants store, but it'was saved. Ev-
erybody thought once that the VIII ole
town was gone.
We sympatbize with the parties
who were so unfortunate as to lose
80 much-no insurance. Mr. Grant
was very fortunate indeed to save
his ltore. Tom CORwiN.
