A Sad Widow.

When Elder Sven John Johansen was
called to go on mission at the April
Conference OF the Church Of Jesus Christ
Of Latter.day Saints in 1880, he returned
to his hare,n, packed his wooden shoes,
dried carrots and bologna sausage in his
cotton handkerchief, then kissed his four
wives and twenty-five children and hed
himself away.
There were three tears and half shed
BY actual measurement on this sad occa-
sion, and they were all wiped away in less
time than We can tell It.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Only a few more notes,
Only finer tone,
And 10! the world bows down
Before the singers throne.
Only the same old thoughts
Clothed with sweeter souno
And 10! a poets brow
With laurel leaves is crowned.
Only a finer ear,
Onlv a swiiter skill,
And To-! the artist plays
On human hearts at will.
Only a tint or line.
Only subtle grace,
And 10! the world goes mad
Over a wo,nan's face.
We. though so slight the cause
For which men call us great
This shade the more or less
May fix an eartfly-fate.
For few may WELD the power
Whose spells uplift or thrill;
The barrier fixed, yet fine,
We may not pass at will.

VALUABLE NOTES AND RECIPES.

One OF the best things in the world 10
give horse after he has been driven is
quart of oatmeal stirred in pail of water.
1t refreshes and strengthens him, relieves
bis immediate thirst and prepares his
stomach for more solid food.
A French chemist reports that water
made slightly salt, and to which, when
boiling, bran in the proportion of one quart
to every gallon has been added, has been
found, in series of experiments, to in
crease the yield of milk 25 per cent, if
given to the COWS az their ordinary drink.
Remember that tobacco is a poison, and
will kill insects rapidly if properly applied
to them. and is one of the best drugs for
freeing fruit trees rapidly of small vermin-
and is better used in this way than to make
men repulsive and diseased.
To extract the fragrance of flowers, take
thin layers of cotton wool and dip them
INTO sweet oil, and sprinkle small guam
tlty OF tiue salt on the flowers, the fra
GRANGE OF which is to be extracted then
place In jar layer of cotton and layer
OF flowers until the jar is full. Close the
jar air.tight, and place in the sun fifteen
days.
A full feed of hay to horses, following
ehe leeuiug Oh concentrated food, IS waste
fui, for the reason that it crowds the first
out OF the stomach before proper digestion
has been accomplished. Aud so, in order
to secure the best results, hay should be
fed first and the concentrated food after
ward, which leaves it to become fully d.
gested, with no danger of being crowded
away or out of the performance of its de-
sired purpose.
The practice of thinning potato vines to
two stalks in the hill, when Trey exceed
that number, has been annual with cor.

The effect Is, as may be supposed, and in

MORE SANITATION AND Less EEALrH.

Our grandfathers and grandmothers, in
spite of their Ignorance of sanitary laws
and their disregard in practice of all the
rules OF hygiene, lived to robust old age in
the employment OF vigorous health. They
lived on salt provisions, with pies and
douganuts for delicscies, scarcely knew the
use of gridiron, fried their meat or boiled
1t, kept open cesspools under their win
dows, and drew from the old oaken bucket
beverage which was In general SO polluted
with surface drainage and with the contents
OF the nelghboring house. drains that q
modern saDltarlan would pronounce is
little better than poison. But our stalWart
ancestors knew nothing of these dangers,
and, happy In their Ignorance, are admit
ted TO have been more hardy, prolific and
longlived than their descendants who have
the benefit of all the recens discoveries of
sanitary science. Now the frying-pan is
prescribed, pies and doughnuts are pro.
nounced lndlgestlble and unWholesome.
and the family bill of fare has been revised
on scientific principles. Boards OF health
investigate wells, and brighten house,
holders with the announcement that their
water contains so large percentage of Or
game matter, free chlorine and nitrates az
to be unit for use. The ways in which
our ancestors disposed of their household
drainage are pronounced wholly incompat-
ible with a moderate regard for health, and
systems said to be great improvements on
ancient practices are introduced. Every
town must have its supply OF pure water
drawn from distant ponds or springs, at
great expense, and as Il necessary oonse-
quepce its system OF sewerage to get rid Of
the water and the impurities 1t acquires in
use. Then comes the discovery that the.
sources of supply are themselves contain
inted to dangerous extent, and that water
pure enough to be used with safety as a
beverage is scarcely to be found in any
long inhabited region, and that the sewers
corrupt the streams into which they flow,
and through them poison the air, breeding
malarial diseases. All this is very dis
couraging. 1t seems that the knowledge
of the conditions of healthtul living is in
compatible with SO high degree of vigor
and longevity as prevailed before these con-
ditions were known or regarded, and that
the attempt to live according to the rules
of hygiene and sanitary science is gradually
making the earth uninhabitable. -EWor-

PALACE ON WHEELs-Wm. FL. Van.
derbilt's new travelling palace is probably
the most perfect of this peculiar branch of
architectnre. In point of elegance and
comfort it quite exeels in distinction the
private car in which Baron de Rothschild, of
Vienna, made his recent trip to Beyreuth
IN. The new coach is fifty feet long, and
it is connected with the elegant car for.
n1erly used by Mr.. Vanderbilt by bellows
covers, SO that one may pass from car to
car without being at all exposed to the
outer air. Besides being appointed with
all modern mprovements-even to the
merest detail-this handsome piece of rail-
way work is furnished, not with sleeping
berths, but the regular bedstead of hand.
some design and complete furnishings.
And besides these there is an office, which
Is used also for lounging and smoking.

Bjornson celebrated the twenty fifth ami.

The ovations of his grateful countrymen
converted the day into national festival
not only the poet, but the patriot and ora

worked for the independence of his coun-

opposition to the amalgamation Of Norway
with Sweden led him into personal quar.

has only served to endear him to the people.

FEEDING THE ENEMY.-The following
"good one is said to have been perpetra-
ted by A. L. Williams, of this city, the
well-krown attorney of the Union Pacific
Railway: He was sent on the line Of the
A, I. and S. F., and, stopping at rail-
road eating house, partook of breakfast
that would have made about three meals
for anybody but railroad attorney. On
settling with the manager, silver dollar
was thrown down by the guest and twenty
five cents In change handed back. "What
is this?" calculated Mr.. Williams edo
you charge man seventy-tive cents for a
breakfast when he is out here on railroad
business ?" and he withered with look of
scorn the hotel man. ''Oh, excuse me, I
beg you" replied the h. M, and promptly
handed out half dollar, leaving Mr..
Williams ont just twenty five cents for
meal that would have lasted two men one
day. The eating-ho proprietor stood
looking after Mr.. Williams as he made his
way to the train, and was suddenly struck
with an idea. Hurrying after his reduced
rate guest, he courteousiy inquired Z" Nv
friend, what kind of railroad business are
you out here on ?" 81 am here to sue
your id road" was the reply as quick
as flash. The hotel man retired.
