brigham Houns,s Progeny.

Emile" in St. Paul Pioneer Press
Speaking of this Young family-what a
part it has PLAYED in Utah history You en-
counter the descendants Of Old Brigham
everywhere As he left fifty-four living
children out of a progeny numbering seventy
two souls, it is not to be wondered that they
turn up everywhere. Some of the SONS who
are in business here, be it said, are exemplary
and most agreeable men; while among the
daughters are numbered some ladies unex-
celed in graces of heart and mind
But alas! there has been a sadly large num-
Der of male scamps and females sirens in The
list. The daughters may be found among the
derni monde of this city, San Francisco and
New Orleans. AT least two sons are already
in drunkards graves. Scandal, contention
and wantonness have added poison to tue
family cup. Here is Mormonism's own an
swer to MormoniSm. Even Amelia, the
fayorite, the beloved seventeenth wife Of the
old patriarch after whom the Amelia palace
was named, remembered her Hege lord bat
four short months after his taking off, and
then became the life partner" of another
And there are wives living here who bitterly
tell now of the days when Amelia rode about
behind Brigham's best span while they, more
faithful wives, took in washing to earn sub
sisteHce. Two of the daughters were married
on the same night to a leading Mormon, ana
are now living together in his harem on one
of the principal streets hero

Health Alphabet.

The Ladies' Sanitary association, of Lon
don, gives the following simple rules for keep
ing health:
As soon as you are up shake blanket and
sheet;
Better be without shoes than sit with wet
feet;
Children. if healthy, are active, not still:
Damp bed and damp clothes will both make
you i'll;
Eat slowly and always chew your food
well;
F-reshen the cir in the house where you
dwell;
Garments must never be made too tight;
Homes should be healthy, airy and light;
If you wish to be well, as you do, I've no
doubt;
Just open the windows before you go out;
Keep the rooms always tidy and clean;
Let dust on the furniture never be seen;
Much illness is caused by the want of pure
air;
Now to open the windows be ever your
care;
Old rags and old rubbish should never be
kept;
People should see that their floors are
well swept;
Quick movements in children are healthy
and right;
Remember the young cannot thrive with
out light;
See that the cstern is clean to the brim;
Take care that your dress is all tidy and
clean;
Use your nose to find if the-s be bad
drain;
very sad are the fevers that come in its
train;
Walk as much as you can without feeling
fatigue;
X-erexes could walk full many a league;
your wealth is your wealth, which your
wisdom must keep;
Zeal viii keep good cause, and the good
You will reap

indicates this, and his success proves 1t. His
whole appearance is in his favor. Tall,
bony, with long reaching arms and bushy
iron-gray hair and whiskers, he makes an
impressive figure on the platform, ana his
manner and method in speaking heightens the
effect. Barring a slight nasal twang, he has
q good voice. He never raves, bat talks
calmly in an iEsiruating, confidential tone,
blending hunor with pioUs exhortation in q
most attractive way, and enlivening his TO-
parks with anecdotes and telling hits.
His worst enemy could not listen to him
without being entertained, and his friends
applaud every sharp point TO the echo

constantly on the go from place tC

OUTWITTING GOULD.
How a Denver City Editor Managed
to Interview the Eminent
Railroader-
IChicann News


The anticipated visit of Jay Gould and the
consequent agitation among the newspaper
reporters recall the fact that Gould was never
faI.ly outwitted by Il reporter but once, and
Tie exceptional incident occurred at the time
Gould was in Denver after having just puT-
chased the Kansas Pacific railroad The
financial world was agog for information
as to Goulds intentions and plans, and the
Denver newspaper Offices were overwhelmed
with kilograms from eastern da!lies asking
for special dispatches regarding the railroad
magGat9 and Lis movements. Dir, Fred
SkiR, who is now manager of The Denver
Tribune, was at that time city editor Of the
paper, and he detailed three of his best
reporters to get at Gould and interview him
by hook or by crook. About 9 O'Clock at
night these reporters showed up with the
information that Gould could not be seen;
