His Triple Wives.

A mormon elder who had been on a
mission in Europe, was encountered on
his way westward with three newly aifi-
anced wives. He readily introduced them
to reporter. Emeline was brawny,
ignorant. hard-handed widow of forty
or over, and her lot was to be that OF
drudge in the ell.balanced family which
the elder contemplated. She was to
"look after the domestic economy" as
he expressed it. Sarah was neither
handsome nor young woman, but some
refinement was discernible, and he said
that she had been schoolma'am III
Wales. She was for practical use, too,
his plan being to make her governess
for his children. The third, Lottie, was
blooming Lancashire lass of twenty or
so, quite pretty in her coarse way, and
the reporter did not deem it necessary
| to ask the elder why he had chosen her.
They were evidently in love with each
other, which was not surprising in him,
though marvellous in her, considering
that he was sixty and ugly. She was tc

lishment. "Will there he triple wed

Barb-Wire for Fences.

For many years the manufacture of
barb-wire for fences has been controlled
by one firm. Favored by its wealth and
enterprise, it gained possession OF more
than one hundred ditlcrentpatents cover
ing the making of this article and has
reapcd handsome profit in royalties by
selling the privilege of using these
patents. Some idea of the Importance
of this manufacture may be gained from
the fact that upward of twelve hundred
miles of wire are made daily. In some
of the Western States, where timber is
scarce, wire is almost wholly used, and
the laws even compel man to surround
his land with such fence, prescribing
the height and the number of strands.
Unlurkily for the continuance of this
monopoly, its conditions have been
abused, and this has raised strong
feeling against it among farmers who
use the wire and manufacturers who are
forced to pay the royalty. These latter
have combined their forces and are do
manding reduction of at least one-half
in the royalty, and are likely to obtain
il. There is, however, no reason to be-
licve that this will result III any benefit
to the farmer, to whom the fencing has
been sold at higher prices than were de-
manded of the foreign consumer.
A recent decision of the United States
Circuit Court has struck blow at this
monopoly, and under it any one has the
rieht to manufacture the wire and also

How TO Prevent Scasickncss.

Scasickness is the result, says Mr..
Stevens in Scribner, Of reflex irritations
arising from little surprises to tho
muscles, and shocks to the nerves en-
gaged in performing certain important
functions notably Of locomotion, res
p;ration and vision--and when tho
groups Of muscles thus engaged are once
educated to the surrounding circum-
stances. the nervous revulsions are not
exnerienced. Proper attention to the
exercise of these functions may so far
mitigate the trouble as to make 1t rat9er
nm inconyenience than distressing Ill
ness Let it be distinctly understood
that medicines can only prevent seasick-
ness by inducing nervous insensibility,
and that such SIMPLIFYING process is
directly opposed to the object Of the
VOYAGE when this is undertaken for the
Of health. Every article Of
lict likely to disturb the digestive or
gans should be avoided, and an abund-
ant supply of oxygen should be inhaled.
The feet should be educated, the respira-
ton regulated and the vision restricted.
II close attention is given to these d.
rections, little fear Of serious sickness
need be apprehenoed and II voyage
which might otherwise be remembered
with the most disagreeable associations
may be rendered season OF almost un-
interrupted enjoyment.

That on the day when Christ shall come
To bid His chosen ones rejoice,
To breathe new life in deaths dark dust,
To give new speech where death struck dumb
From out the sad seas restless bes
Shall rise once more the hidden dead.
They tell us this with upraiaed eyes,
That gaze beyond the presents WOO,
And whisper ola heaven and God,
Draw pictures Of star laden skies,
Where angels wander TO and fro.
When those now meath the churchyard sod
viii rise from out their dreary bed,
The day the sea gives up her dead.
Yet will they rise once more the past,
Or give me back the faith that died,
Or breathe new breath in loves dead breast?
What for the love that did not last?
What for the days, when side by side
We wandered on, nor thought of rest
Will these arise and leave their bed
The day the sea gives up her dead?
Oh, nevermore dead Joy is dead,
The sunshine dead nc'er smiles again.
'Tis evening gathers on the shore,
Our kiss was kissed, our words were said.
Naught lasts for e'er save sin and pain,
Love dead is dead for evcrmorc.

THE TROUBLE WITH PORK.
Arc Trichihn Killed by snitt-whut Is
Claimed by Experts In the Matter.

The prohibition Of the importation Of
American pork by the GGefldan uo.ern.
ment, on account Of the alleged presence
OF the microscopic worm known as .tii-
chimp, has awbkeped a large dAaree ofin-
terest among pork raisers and shippers
in this country. That trichin@ aro
sometimes found in pork land in some
other food aeshl is not TO be doubted.
That proper cooking Of meats for food
destroys them is unquestionable. That
all authenticated cases of injury to health
arising from the ptesente Of this micro
scopiO worm were traced to the eat,iigo Of
uncooked, or half raw meat is q fact
But that the sailing of meat destroyed
the parasite Is still a matter of doubt,
or, at least, it is n subject OF disptte.
On this point United States Consul
John Wilson, stationed at Brussels,
makes some statements, based on his
own observations. He says:
81 have myself been present when Of
icially appointed micrsocopists ut some
of the abattoirs OF this country have
been engaged In examining American
pork for trichin@, and have been invited
by these gentlemen to see for myself,
through their microscopes, the peculiar
cell aud spiral coil of the animal; but on
carefully examining them 1 have only
observed, blended with the tissue and
minute salt crystals, the entombed ami
NAL, evidently ms destitute Of life as the
structure in which 1t was embedded.
"It is claimed by most trchinic OBJ
servers that the process of generation
and birth Of this little animal invaria-
bly, takes place in the stomach and in
testinal canal, and that within few
days from its birth it has 80 matured MS
to penetrate the walls of the intestines
and rapidly make its way through the
various intervening structures to the re-
mote muscular tissue Of the animal 1t in
fects, there to be speedily encysted and
endowed with subsequent dormant ex-
istence of several years, during which
time it's presence occasions little ol
no inconvenience. OF this theory
of tho life aud movements o
this little worm I can only say that i
involves an almost unparalleled excep
cepton to the law generally regarded as
determining animal life, and ought moi
TO be accepted but upon the most posi-
tive proof. The law governing parasit
ic existence in living tissue usually in
wolves the speedy death of the parasit,
after the pabulum upon which it feeds
has passed from under the domain o
vital force; hence, unless this tiny worn
constitutes an exception to this law, it
life must be short after the organic struc
tre upon which it feeds has ceased t
live."
Consul Wilson very pertinently add
that "if salt really kills trichine, and {
It I have scarcely a doubt, it is evidentl
great injustice on the part of foreig
governments to lay an embargo on OH
pork product, which of all others, i
order to secure it against decompositio
on long journey to foreign markets,
better salted than that of any otht
country. "-Scientlfc american.
