81. JOSEPH'S SCHOOL, SALT LALE
CITY.
Annual Exhibition Exercises to q
Crowded House.

Annual Exhibition Exercises to q
Crowded House.
List Friday evening, May 18th, the
patrons of the Sisters schools we're
delighted with the annual exhibition
exercises for their St. Joseph's school
for young boys. The programme was
handsomely helped out by the young
ladies of St. Mary's Academy, es-
pecially in the instrumental music, in
which the members Of the advanced
classes showed excellent proficiency
and steady improvement. The guitar
schottische was especially charming.
Their singing, also, was admirable.
But it was the night Of the little boys
and they are the ones that all went to
see, and the light Of their happy faces,
the zest with which they performed
their parts, and the alacrity and order
with which all went forward, spoke
highly for the boys, as we'll as telling
the story of great painstaking;7 able
management, amt diligent instruction
on the part of the teachers. The ex-
ercises were. made. up of marches,
German dialogues, songs, instrumental
music, all interspersed betwee- the
acts of a. bright little, drama, "Colum-
bus" telling the story Of lis struggles
to ft,out his expedition, liis.prima,y
successes at the Spanish Court, his
great discovery and triumphant return,
not forgetting the egg story. In all
the parts the boys acted with free.
dom and ease which delighted the
audience. Their makeup was we'll
done, not the least faithful being the
Indians of the New World. Masters
Shaughnessy and Ludwig sang very
pretty duet, while Masters Kupfer and
Boatright pleased every one by their
instrumental duet, which was played
in good time and with much musical
spirit. Masters Keeney and Bloch
are doing finely in their music, as their
performance evinced. The boys
songs were good, noticeably the med
ley song 'Choice," by the forty
minims, while Medicine jack" by
Master Sackett, won deservedly the
heartiest applause of all. The hall
was packed with friends OF, the school,
and all were made to thoroughly enjoy
the evening.
St. Joscph's School is entirely sep
'arate from St. Mary's Academy, but
under the Sisters charge and teach
ing. 1t now numbers eighty boys,
thirty of whom are boarders from the
States and Territories. The English
course is thorough, and music, Ger
man, French, drawing and painting
are taught by competent teachers.

THE PRINTER AND HIS WORK.

Persons who are very quick at de-
tecting even Insignificant typograph-
ical errors may read the following ar
ticle with profit. 1t is reprinted from
one of the leading periodicals of Lon.
don, England:
Probably one of the worst business
es under the sun is that of a printer.
HIS every deed seeks the light Of day.
Those Of lawyer lie in dark boxes
and between musty shelves; the doc.
ter places his Indifferent handiwork in
the earth; the tradesman has but his
customer to please, and satisfying
him his work is ended. But the
printer-every ignoramus spells over
the work of the printer. Fellows
who would find it impossible to put
twenty letters together dramatically,
will point out with glee fault in his
work-indeed it is usually that class
Of individuals who make it point oil
finding out every little discrepancy.
Did the public know the thousands OF
different characters, different letters,
and atoms comprised in a printers
day life; did they but know the
variety of altogether foreign subjects
he has to set up, read, correct and re
wise day after day, they would wonder
how he kept out of the lunatic asylum
But practice makes perfect, and con.
slant friction has rubbed off all the
rough edges from the character of the
man of letters, nothing taking effect
upon him. He can view errors of the
most frightful description with calm
ness. After all, what is an error
grammatical or otherwise? Simply 81
many types out of place. that's all
Quite enough, but not enough to up
set the equanimity of the printer.

About three wears ago Jam IS Black,

Salt Lake and located in business.

the last time the Appeal writer saw

and about seven dollars in his pocket.
He has just sold mine in which he
owned half interest, and has $4,000

with John Congdon, Of this city, owns
several valuable mining claims in this
section, one of which he has just sold

Nevada Journalists.

The Stockton Mail, short time ago,
modestly referred to Nevada as being
the best school of journalism on the
Coast, and backed its assertion by
citing some of the men now distin.
guished in the profession, and who
won the distinction while laboring in
the Silver State. Whercupon the
Sacramento Bee, in reply, cast the
following reflection on our journalists:
''The time was when Stockton had not
only able journalists, but clean ones.
There was q time, and it extended
over . period of more than two de.
oades, when the newspapers of Stock.
ton were not of . character to deny
themselves Abundance to the family
circles. The time was, too, when jour.
nalism was highly-respected and
profitable business in Stockton, and il
was before the aroma of sagebrush in
vaded the editorial rooms over there
But there IS AZ able paper in Sau
Frsncisco which differs with the Bee
Tho San Francisco. Exchange says
"Nevada certainly has produced some
sble Journalists. The FREQ and-easy
spirit Of the mining camp seems t
have stimulating effect on the brigh
spirits who make it their home, ant
the universal freedom from conven
tioaalities gives them. bold, swinging

A Small POx Remedy.

A correspondent of the Stockton
(Cal.) Herald writes as follows;
81 herewith append recipe which
has been used, to my knowledge, in
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent or
cure the smallpox, though the pittings
are filing. When Jenner discovered
cow-pox in England the world of science
hurled an avalanche of fame upon his
head, but when the most scientific
school of medicine in the world-that
of Paris-published this recipe as a
panacea for smallpox it passed un-
needed. 1t is unfailing as fate. and
conquers in every instance. 1t is harm
less when taken by well person. 1t
will also cure scarlet fever. Here is
the recipe as ! have used it, and cured
my children of scarlet fever, and it
cured the smallpox when learned ply
sicians said the patient must die; Sui
phate of zinc, one grain; foxglove
(digitalis), one grain half teaspoon
full of sugar; mix with two tablespoon
fuls OF water. When thoroughly
mixed add four ounces of water. Take
spoonful every hour. Either disease
will disappear in twelve hours. For a
child, smaller doses according to age.
If counties would compel their phySi-
clans to use this, there would be no
need of pest houses. If you value ad-
VICE and experience, use this for that
terrible disease.

Prof. Clark and the Grammar
QuestiOg.

To the Standard
Isee an article in your issue of the
Goth ult., from the pen of Prof. j. P.
Clark, in which he gives sentence for
correction taken from the speech of B.
F. Alexander on taking the chair after
he was elected speaker Of the State
Senate. Mr.. Alexander said: II hope
and trust, however, that will receive
the hearty and earnest cooperation of
every member of the Senate.P This,
we think, should read thus: II hope
and trust, however, that / shall receive
the hearty and earnest cooperation Of
everv member of the Senate" Ac-
cording to Pinneo this is compound
sentence, composed Of one complex and
one simple sentence, and the auxiliary
,UiU should be changed to shCH By
referring to an unabridged dictionary
you will also see this is correct. This
is very common error, and we see
the Professor has in his article violated
the same rule of grammar, would
like for some one to find the sentence.
He has also Violated another rule, but
it is not as gross violation as the
other we think. The Professors ad-
vice is good, and we think his sugges
tions would be beneficial to all lover;
of education. AS | am perhaps rela
ted to the author of the article, l shall
give my name. ]. T. CLARK.

Get the Best.

There is no place where this bit of
advice is of more value than in the Sc
lection of tool and implements for the
farm. A good ak, hoe or plow is
cheaper at high price than a poor
one would be at less than half its cost.
With good tool one can do much
more work with less expenditure of
foroe-which means muscle-than
with poor one; so that it saves both
ways. Besides, it serves a purpose as
a moral agent. You will find much
less ill-temper and profanity on the
farm where poor tools are discarded
than on the farm where they are used.
Whenever the ordinary mortal is out
of humor, whatever the cause, he is
inclined to give vent to his feelings in
some way; sometimes in aQtiop, by a
kick or a cuff, as dog or boy within
his reach can bear witness sometimes
by words, fretlul and scolding, or, if
he be given to profanity, and some
times if not, by an energetic expires
sion more forcible- than elegant, and
best used, if at all, when none are
within hearing distance. Now all this,
and more, too, can be prevented by
"getting the best" But this is not all;
when you have done your duty in pro-
curing the best tools, they should be
kept in the best order-sharp, bright,
and always ready for use. Given two
worSmen with equal ability, one fur.
nished with good hoe in perfect or
der, and the other with q dull, rusty
one, and the former will do by large
percentage the most work. What We
have said about hoes applies to al
tools and appliances on the farm.

Sheep.

A writer in Farm and Garden says;
Despite the constant attention which
is called to the value of sheep, not only
as improvers of the land, but as profit
able farm animals for wool and mutton
there are many farmers who have
never raised or Kept single sheep,
though their farms are adapted to rails
ing sheep largely and-proR@cy. Why
this is we cannot imagine, for facts and
figures can be had by the score to
prove the proftableness Of sheep breed
ing, if necessary, and about the only
drawback. in many localities, is the loss
occasioned by dogs. Many rough,
worn-out or neglected farm might be
brought up rapidly and be made pay.
ing land by breeding sheep thereon, as
the manure from the sheep is one Of
the most enrlchlng OF manures, and Is
evenly and finely distributed. OF
course they may not do this without
being fed something besides what they
can get in the fields, yet this additional
food works to the profit of breeders il
two ways; it not only insures a goot
and profitable growth of flesh snd
wool, but it makes the manure richer
and more valuable. Even poor farmers
can give sheep trial by commencing
in a small way, and then as mean
and experience are gained, the focl
can be gradually increased by purcha
ses, though the natural increase from
a small flock Of sheep is by no mean
inconsiderable, if properly managed
and cared for as they should be. Lik
any other kind of stock, they mus
have good care and food to secure tn
greatest measure of profit"

Many children in school say they

successful teacher will often find that it
is necessary to use variety ofmethods

Pursuing the same course which !

Value of Coal Ashes.

In answer to A. H., / would state
that l have spread the coal ashes from
my stove under the droppings in the
hen house every morning. The hens
scratch in this for the hard white pieces
of ashes, thus keeping the droppings
loose and dry. This mixture I spread
on the meadows in the spring, and find
it an excellent manure. The first year
l spread cart load across the centre
of a sandy lot, and in July you could
see the rank green streak as far as you
could see the lot, the remainder being
dry and brown. The using of coal
ashes in the hen house is of great bene-
fit, as it takes the place of shells, and
also furnishes busting place for the
hens. My hens are not troubled with
lice, and have laid eggs all winter

THE TWO WOOLNGS.

In a garden sweet with roses,
Mused maid one summer day.
Dreaming mid the bloom and fragrance
OF the years long passed away.
ain this very garden olden,
have heard my mother say
Did my grandsire, proud and stately,
Woo maiden fair and gay.
Gay and fair, my girlish grand'dame
q have seen her pictured face),
Pure and sweet as any lily,
With q dainty, old.time grace.
He, so tall and grand and stately,
Powdered hair and quaint attire =
Yet beneath the garb of manhood
Beat heart of youthful fire.
And he woed in courtly phrazes,
Murmured low on bended knee,
Like true and loving subject
Like royal pEineess she.
Scarce he dared, with humble fervor,
Psess her dainty fnger-tips;
Lower bent his head, and lower,
When he raised them to his lips.
"Ah, so grand that old-time wooing,
Timid glance and bended kneeP
Thus" $50 ran her gentle musings)
"Must my lover kneel to me-"
In the garden as she fingered,
Dreaming dreams as maidens will
Down the leafy walks there sounded
Steps that made her pulses thrill.
And youth of modern aspect,
With a manner debonnair,
Came with words of careless greeting,
Sought the nearest garden chair.
And he chatted of the weather,
Praised the garden, plucked rose,
Likened it to her in beauty
Fairest, sweetest flower that grows,
Not a trace of awe or homage
On his frank and happy face;
Yet the maiden read his purpose
Meath his mien OF careless grace.
"Oh, his heart is true and tenderl
Sweet the tale he has to tell
And" $50 ran her happy musing)
"Sure am he loves me we'll"
Does he kneel, this modern loveI?
Press her dainty fnger-tips?
All instead he clasps her closely,
Boldly kisses willing lips;
Eagerly, with eyes love-lighted,
Gazes on her blushing face;
Calls her dearest, best and fairest,
Praises every tender grace.

On that olden summer dayi '---''''-''A

Housing Farm Implements.

Western farmers annually lose thou
sands of dollars by not housing their
machinery. In half days travel one
will, in mid-winter, see plows, harrows,
cultivatOrs, mowers, harvesters, out in

near the buildings, and there they
stand exposed to the storms. The prac-
tice is not as general as it formerly was,
