A Wasted Onnort2nitv.

Il few weeks ago a young servant CIR
in Salt Lake received an offer of mar
rage from n Mormon who already had
four wives. The offer was made through
a mutual friend, and the girl did moi
even have an opportunity of seeing her
future husband. Suffice to know that
he owned considerable property in Salt
Lake and was otherwise we'll fixed in
the world. She thought the matter over.
concluded to call it a 60. and sent word
that he might name the day. He did so,
and on a foggy Thursday morning he
gsme round to the house with two wives,
and announced hat he vas ready to
take his young bride away. The servant
girl was upstairs getting ready to DO
married, and the lady of the house met
the polygamous party at the door. She
noticed, somewhat to her establishment,
that the man was being led by his wives
for the very simple reason that he was
as blind as 3 bat and also over sixty
years of age. Rushing to the stairs she
called up to the girl:
sally, YOUR sweetheart has come to
marry you"
Tell him III be right down." said
the girl, adjusting q fresh hairpin and
throwing on a few extra dashcs Of car
mine powder.
He's sixty-five years old and as blind
as n bait
whats that?" inquired the girl, anx-
iously leaning over the banistcr. The
startling information was repeated.
''Tcll him to clear out" was the re-
Spouse. The lady OF the house IN
icated the command to H.ove on to tho
old polyg and his wives. VI the party
stole sorrowfully away.
The inexperienced girl thought she
had made a lucky cscap, but when
some married woman heard " it and
told her what a good thing she had
missed, she began to regret the hasty
decision. and now pines for the blind
man TO return. There are hundreds Of
women in Salt Lake who would give al
most anything for a genuine blind hus-
band. The girl may never get another
such an offer in a lifetime .-SdH Lake
Tribune.

Monkeys.

Joe, a monkey at the London "Zoo,'
could never be got back into his cage
when once he was allowed his liberty
outside. But he had one weakness
that of curiosity-and the keeper. look
ing down a dark hole, attracted the at
tention of the monkey, who slowly APP
preached him to find out the cause O:
the investigation. Suddenly the keeper
would start back, and, the monkeys
courage deserving him, he flew to the
shelter of his cage, when the door would
be shut. This trick was successfully
played o him every time, month after
month, he never seeming to learn it.
Another monkey, miss Jenny" that
came from India, parted her hair in tho
middle, smoked real tobacco, and would
snatch a half-smoked cigar from a WISH
tor and finish it. She would also hold
a bottle of ale with her hind foot, and
take long draughts between the puffs of
smoke.

The Orsam-of-Tartar RsmadY.

In 1877 a well-known correspondent
Of The liverpool Mercury wrote to that
journal as follows:
l am willing to risk my reputation as
a public man if the worst case of small
pox can not be effectually cured in three
days simply by cream of tartar. This
is the sure and never-failing remedy.
One ounce of cream of tartar dissolved
in a pint of boiling water, to be drunk
when cold, at short intervals. 1t can be
taken at any time, and is a preventive
as well as a curative. 1t is known to
have cured in a hundred thousand cases
without a failure. l have myself re-
stored hundreds by this means. 1t new.

THE LATEST RIVAL OF Qu1N1NE

The last new thing in the way of
a rival to quinine comes from Spain.
To the land that the Countess del
Cinchon was the first to import the
famous Peruvian bark, we are indebt-
ed for the new product, which is
simply spiders webs washed, dried
and ground to powder. These are
reported to possess many Of the val
liable properties of quinine. DR..
Olive, after observing ll9 cases,
comes to the following conclusions:
l. Spiders web taken in powder
cures malarial fevers when they are
OF the daily or tierce character.
2. Given in doses of two grains to
adults, and one grain to children. it
curbs an ordinary fever after the
second attack.
D. 1es aCtlon Is not so rapid as that
OF sulphate of quinine, and for this
reason, until better informed, i,
should not be employed in the case
of peruicious intermittent foyer.
4. The powder having no taste is
more easily taken than quinine.
5. The use of the remedy is an in
surance against relapses, better than
could be inferred from the indica
tions.
Unfortunately the doctor does not
state whether the webs of all classes
of spiders are etlicacious.-[ Toll end
