The Hat Wouldn't Stand 1t.

Billy Manning, the lamented min
strel, had an inexhaustible fund of
natural wit. He was up and down
in his life, sometimes worth thous-
ands, and again flat broke. These
reverses did not affect his spirits in
the least ; indeed, his poverty inspir-
ed in him many a happy thought. 1t
was habit of Manning when hear
ing of the death of an acquaintance,
to take off his hat, and bowling very
reverently, remark
God rest his soul"
On one occasion several of his
friends entered into conspiracy to
report to him the death of some per-
son he knew. One friend would APP
proach him and say, swell, Billy,
George Jones is dead at last"
Manning would take off his hat
and say "God rest his soul "
Presently another friend would
come along, and according to ar.
rangement, ask him if he had heard
of the death of Smith.
After the usual expression of sur
prise and sorrow, off would come
Manning's hat, and he would make
the fearful observation: "God rest
his soul"
In this way he heard of the death
of a dozen old friends within an
hour. Manning was then PLAYING
in hard luck, aud his hat was of
straw and badly out of repair. Just
as he had uncovered to ask rest for
the soul of his twelfth departed
friend, the depth and breadth of the
"racket" dawned upon him. Stand.
ing there, holding his miserable
straw hat 10y the brim, and increas-
ing, if anything, the look of sorrow
upon his face, he said:

Brigham YOung's Grave.

An Unlocking stone wall about six
feet high encloses an area of nearly
an acre. A carriage gate construct
ed of rough, implanted boards, stood
ajar, and | entered Fully a third
of the enclosure is divided off by a
second stone wall on one side, and
in the southeast corner of the sub
enclosure, Brigham Young rests in
final repose. A huge slab of granite
lying flat on his grave, aud high
railing of iron are all that meet the
eye save the walks and sward of the
little cemetery. There is no inscrip-
ton of any kind-not even his name.
Outside of Brigham's personal part
the grounds are so shabby that they
might be taken for a dumping place
for garbage. La one corner of this
outer cemetery are four or five ne.
elected graves-possibly those of his
departed wives. Still another grave
at that quarter is marked. At it's
head is an implanted board, on
which appears the name of E. |.
Young. Underneath thisna some
wag has plainly written with PEN
Gil eve are laboring for the king

Mormons pay little respect to the
resting places of their dead.

Sweet Minded Women.

50 great is the influence of sweet
minded women on those around that
it is almost boundless. 1t is to her
that friends come in seasons of Sor-
row and sickness for help and com
fort; one soothing touch of her
kindly hand works wonders in the
feverish child few words let fall
from her lips in the year of sorrow
ing sister does much to raise the
load Of grief that is bowling its vic
Tins down to the dust in anguish.
The husband comes home, worn out
with the pressure of business and
feeling irritable with the world in
general; but when he enters the cosy
sitting-room, and sees the blaze of
the bright fire, and meets his wife s
smiling face, he succumbs liz a mo-
ment to the soothing influences
which act as the balm of Gilead to
his wounded spirits that are wearied
with combating with the stern real
tiles of life. The rough schoolboy
flies in a rage from the taunts of his
companions to find solace in his
mothers smile the little one, full
of grief with it's own large trouble,
finds a haven of rest on its mothers
breast. And so one might go on
with instance after instance of the
influence that a sweet minded wo-
man has in the social life with which
she is connected. Beauty is an in
significant power when compared
with hers.

Mountains in the Ocean,

Geology teaches that the CONT
nents of the world were once beneath
the ocean. 1t is natural, therefore,
to suppose that there are inequali
ties in the bottom of the ocean like
those on the land.
The recent deep sea soundings con-
firmed this opinion and reveal
mountains and hills valleys and ia
ble-land. The greatest depth reach
ed in sounding is 81 900 feet, which
exceeds the hight of the loftiest
mountain in the Himalayas.
Some of the mountains in the sea
are sleeper and more abrupt than
any on the land. In the British
Channel the depth changes within
ten miles from 500 feet to $4,000 feet
and it is very common, within few
miles of the coasts of continents and
islands, for the depth to change sud-
denly from from few hundred feet
to many thousand. In other cases,
as in a large part of the bed of the
Atlantic between Europe and the
United States, there are plateaux ex.
tending hundreds of miles with very
slight undulations. We shall soon
know the shape of the ocean floor
almost as we'll as of the earth's sur
face.

A Big Poker Game.
HOW SENATOR JONES Is SAID TO
HAVE WON A PILE AT THE SIN
Full GAME.
Stockton Herald.

Stockton Herald.
George l.. Waters, the colored
janitor of the City Hall, related an
incident to-day to a Mail reporter
concerning big poker game in
which Senator John p. Jones, of Ne
vada, was player. Waters had
been in the employ of certain Con-
gressmen around the Capitol at
Washington for many years, and his
statement may be accepted as true.
1t was several years ago, before the
millionaire had become thoroughly
posted in the ways of Washington
society. Almost before he had tho
roughly warmed his seat in the SEN
ate, he was introduced into the Dis
trict Club, of which Boss Shepherd
was prominent member. Poker at
that time was the prominent recrea-
ton of the club, and Jones was in :
duced to take a hand. Although a
good poker player, he retired from
the game a loser to the amount of
SO 900. The Senator, having a few
silver mines at his back for pocket
money, was game, and did not allow
the least expression Of chagrin or
distrust to escape him. The next day
he telegraphed to one of the most
expert card sharps in Virginia City.
Eight days afterwards the gambler
arrived ia Washington, dressed in a
very expensive suit Of clothes aad
sporting a small fortune in the way
of diamonds. Jones introduced him
to the members of the club as a min
ing millionaire from Nevada, and
the star route frauds and navy yard
thieves Immediately made arrange
ments to pluck him. He accepted
an invitation to play. The stakes
ran high, and the spurious million
aire was well supplied with Jones
money. At the end of the tourna-
ment the stranger rose from the ia
BILE the winner of 100000 of the
club. 1t was a severe blow to the
Ringsters, but they made the people
of the United States pay it back TO
them indirectly and in short order.
Jones divided the sg;ag with his
friend, aad never set foot in the
club room again. 1t was not long
after before the Ringsters had been
beaten at their own game, but they
were not in a position to make any
fuss about it.

Why a State Can Not be Sued.

Perhaps ii might not be uninteresting
10 summarize the reasons why a sover-
eign State can not be sued, even by its
own consent:
/. sIaw is rule of action prescribed
by a superior" The sovereign has no
superior.
2. The King can do no wrong, be-
cause he is above the law, being its
source, and there can be no wrong but
by its violation.
3. The writ runs in the name of the
Sovereign, and is supported by his pow
er. 1t would be absurd for the Soyer-
eign 10 call himself into court TO an
swer for violation of his own law under
penalty prescribed by himself.
4. There is no power TO enforce judy
ment. The State compels the individual
to obey the Judgment of its courts; it
can not compel itself The Judgment
OF the court is the will of the Sovereign,
and consequently can not be made use
Of to coerce t he Sovereign. The Con.

2. When fighting occurs .among
your pupils, punish all engaged In it
with equal severity-the timid boy

3. Never seem to believe pupil

4. When requests are sent you
from parents. no matter how reason
able they may be, don't grant them

dren to understand that for good and
sufficient reasons you have suspend
ed the old Jewish rule--"Honor thy

5. Be constantly on the watch to

The turnip fly, which everywhere
visits and feeds upon the first leaves Of
the young turnip. is a small. black,
jumping beetle. and is often called the
turnip flea, and sometimes Black Jack.
The beetle feeds only on the Young
leaves, and not on the rough ones. II
turnip crop can be carried through
the first week after it is out of the
ground, or until it is in the rough, it is
safe from much further harm from the
insect. The best means, therefore, of
guarding against injury by the beetle is
to have the soil rich and in the best con-
dition to push the plants along strong
and rapidly from the first. In our own
practice we have found that busting the
plants as soon as they make their APP
pearance with fine air-slaked lime,
wood ashes, or with plaster (gypsum),
has the effect to protect the leaves to a
great extent, while it in no way Injuries
or checks their growth. These rene
dies are very generally recognized and
applied. 1t is true that the insects are
not wholly deferred from their attacks
by the application of these substances,
and, if the stand is poor one, it may
be destroyed in spite of all efforts to
save it. A thick seeding is desirable,
and then, if the plants come well and
the powder is applied as soon as they
are out of the ground, and repeated as
often rs necessary to keep the leaves
covered, sufficient number for good
crop can usually be brought to perfec-
ton. As often as rains wash the pow
der off the plant it must be redusted,
and kept covered until in the rough
leaf 1t is best to apply the dust in the
morning when the plants are moist
with dew. or otherwise to have one per-
son go forward and sprinkle them,
while another follows scattering the
powder.
Worms at the roots of house plants
can be destroyed by the use of lime
water. Take lump of lime, six or
eight pounds, and slake it in n pail of
water, and when il has settled pour of
the clear liquor and immerse the pot
in it. letting it stand fifteen or twenty
minutes; and then take it out and allow
it TO drain. BY this means earth-worms
will be destroyed, or they will come to
the surface and can then be removed.
The small white worms that are some
times found in pots Of plants may be
destroyed by the phosphorus on COM
mon matches. Take three or four
matches and stick them into the soil of
the pot, phosphorus end into the soil,
and also insert two or three into the
soil at the bottom by thrusting them
upward through the drainage hole
