| leave the rOOst, the hive doors are opened and
the bees set at liberty. Even the faithful
horse has been made the subject of optical de-
lusion by the inventors. A patent has been
secured for what is known as horse fence
1t consists simply of wire frame placed over
the head of the horse, so that when he ap-
proaches fence with the laudable desire Of
| jumping it, he sees the wires above his head,
mistakes them for part of the fence, and con-
cludes that it is too high for him to leap.
| BISHOP WILEY ON UTAH.--Bishop Wiley,
of the M. E. Church, in an address at a mis-
sionary meeting, thus spoke upon the Mormon
question:
s'Utah is now occupied by about 15O, 900 peo-
pie, 130, 900 Of whom are Mormons, and reach
| ING out farther into Nevada and other Terri
tories you have 10000 Mormons in the circle,
and then you have the full number, 15O, 600
Mormons. I intended to stop to tell you
what Mormonism is, but will give some of its
features. We have there, in the heart OF our
country, one Of the most abominable and vile
caricatures upon religion and disgraces upon
civilization that now exists in the world. Just
think of it In the heart of this Christian
land, in the end of this nineteenth century,
on the richest and most beautiful territory, is
growing and prospering and magnifying every
day one of the foulest denominations Of this
earth; one Of the most terrible impOsitions
ever practiced on man and woman {; one OF the
most wicked deceptions ever imposed upon
people abroad, and one of the most subtle in
| character that ever gained foothold in our
country. These are very hard words, but true,
every one Of them. AS religion it is false,
! and as system it is tyranny. 1t is vile, root
and branch, stem and leaf. I make the in
dictment coolly and deliberately because I
., ,h0f 1onc
Mormons mean ? It means 10000 people
who believe in Joseph Smiths bible, in Nor
mon revelation, under the divine inspiration
Of Brigham Young 150, 900 people who now
believe in the inspiration and divine revelation
of John Taylor $50, 900 people who believe the
best man among them is the Hon. j. B. Can
non, very severely married, claiming to be- rep
resentative or delegate to the United States
Congress 1000 people who believe in plural
marriages; 10000 people who believe in mar
ryng for time and eternity, marrying half
dozen wives down here and half dozen more
up there $50, 600 people who at this time set
at defiance the laws Of the United States and
vet year after year the patient American nation
let's it alone. There is no place else in this
world where this blot could exist"
WHAT SHE SAW IN CHURCH.-He stayed
at home and she went to church, after dinner
he asked her
"What was the text, May -
sOh, something, somewhere in Generations;
I have forgotten the chapter and verse. Mrs.
Hight sat right in front of me with Mother
Hubbard bonnet on. How could hear any
thing when could not even see the minister?
I wouldn't have worn such looking thing to
church if had to have gone bareheaded."
'sHow did you like the new minister ~
Hn4n 1lnrfS
| there with Spanish lace cape that never cost
less than $50 and they can't pay their butch
er bills, and I'd wear cotton lace or 60 with
out any frst.''
ssDid he say anything about the new mission
fund ?"
''No, and the Joneses were all rugged out in
| their yellow silks made over you would have
died laughing to have seen them. Sucha taste
as those girls have and the minister, gave
out that the Dorcas society will meet at Sister
jones' residence-the old poky place."
''It seems you didn't hear much OF the ser
mon.''
'Well, Pm sure it's better to go to church,
| if you don't hear the sermon, than to stay at
home and read the paper and oh, Harry the
new minister has lovely voice it nearly puts
me to sleep and did tell you that the Rioh's
are home from Europe, and Mrs. Rich had
real camel's hair shawl on, and it didn't look
like anything on her."
A long silence, during which Harry thought
of several things, and his wife was busy con-
templating the sky or view, then she suddenly
exclaimed:
sThere I knew I'd forget to tell you Some
thing. Would you believe it, Harry, the fringe
on Mrs. jones' parasol was an inch deeper
than mine and twice as heavy o., dear
what world of trouble this is 20

A HUSBANDS LovE.-It is easy enough to
win a husband. Most any attractive little
dumping with bright eye and coaxing
voice can gather in noble husband but it is
pretty difficult to retain him. Noble husbands
are thicker than hair on dog, but the grand
difficulty is to draw out their true nobility
and secure it at home. If the wife only under
stands her business she can introduce The
soothing racket in her new field OF operations,
and walk away with the whole business. Most
men like to be loved and soOthed. There is
something in mans great, rough earnest
nature that can be won quicker and easier
with gentleness and pie than by the logic of
the broom-handle and bilious course of rea-
| sOning with bread-and-milk diet.
We have seen girl who understood her
business take reformed road agent by the
nose so to speak, and lead him through life in
such way that he wouldn't know but that he
was boss OF the ranch. So perfect was the de-
lusion, that when she asked him to bring III
scuttle of coal, or to get up in his night-shlrt
and kill burglar-that he knew was nothing
