Polygamous Economies.

From Harper's Magazine
The private home routine of a polyga-
nous family is matter upon which so
much curiosity is constantly expressed
by my acquaintance that l venture to
say here what little / know; but the
reader must remember that less than
ten per cent. of the voting Mormon
population of Utah are polygamists.
The polygamist as rule, has accum-
ulated some property and owns house
before he takes a second and successive
wives, though sometimes he begins by
marrying two or three at once. All of
these marriages, however, except the
first are made secretly by the Church,
and no record Of them is accessible
In the city, at least, it is seldom that
different wives share the same quarters.
In the country this is not so uncommon,
but the natural unpleasantness follows
in most cases. The general method is
to have large house, the main part
of which, perhaps, is occupied by the
first wife and wings or additions by the
successive candidates for marital honors.
These large, struggling, hotel-like
houses are common IN Salt Lake City
and mark difference between it and n
town of small houses like Cheyenne and
most other western Villages. In many
cases, however, the husband sets up his
wives in separate homes, either side by
side or in different parts of the city. In
any case each has her own kitchen gar
den, etc. / have In mind a wealthy
digintary of the church whom you
might eaisly have mistaken for the late
Peter Cooper and who is possessed
of seven wives. Each of these
women has some farming and
garden ground of her own and all
are greatly devoted to rearing bees.
With the help of their grown children
they each raise large amount of pro-
duce and honey annually. The husband
acts as their agent. He hives their
swarms of bees and charges them for it;
he renders special aid when called up
on and is paid for it; he sells their
crops and honey when it is ready and
credits each wife with her due share.
Most of them live in suites of apartments
under the roof of his great house In
town, but the first wife has beautiful
farm of her own little out of the city,
to which she and her children have re-
tired, to end their days in peaceful in
dependence.
The way in which this old gentleman
has always arranged his domestic life is
reported to be thus: He had certain
rooms in his house where be kept his
bed, his wardrobe, his books and saw
any visitors who called upon him. Here
he was bachelor and here he staid
every other day and night. On alter
nate days and nights he was the guest of
one or another of his wives in regular
rotation, devoting the one day lin this
case fortnightly) which was hers dill
gently to her society. OF course this
routine was not invariable, but for the
most part it was regularly followed.

When Should a Cow go pryq

There is such thing as burning
candle at both ENDS. One may easily do
this in the dairy, and while the good,
easy man" thinks he is making good
deal of light at the same cost, suddenly
his candle may go out This kind of
thing may go on when one milks the
COWS up to the time of calivng or near
it, and even encourages it by feeding it
for that end. But then it may not.
And it is the dairyman's business to
know all about it and take any general
rule for his guide. There is no rule
without multitude of exceptions, and
these are as numerous as times, places
and circumstances; and as circum-
stances alter cases, so the reply to the
question we have put above depends
upon circumstances. There are cows
that will not go dry, but viii milk from
calf to calf Is the dairyman to worry
himself and the COW in useless defiance
of her natural habit? By no means,
He must suit his case to the
circumstances, and reduce the milk
yield as much as possible by
milking once day perhaps and com
pensate the COW for her extra burden
by giving her more feed up to safe
limit. What this limit may be depends
wholly upon the ability of the COW to
beautifully digest and dispose Of the
food. And no one but the intelligent
owner can say what this limit may be
for it will vary as COWS vary, and no two
COWS are precisely alike. As long as
the COW is in thriving condition, not los
ing flesh OF making fat, the limit is not
reached.
But as rule, to be contracted and
expanded judiciously and safely, it
might be said that COW should be dried
off six weeks before she is due to calve.
That up to that time she should be lib
orally fed in the usual manner; that
thenceforth her food should be cur
tailed or even changed to dry hay; and
If her condition is reduced somewhat so
much the better 1t will make it safer
for her and the calf. The milking may
be done once day, or not wholly COM
pleted, leaving little in the udder.
We have even taken little milk sever
al times day from COW in this con-
dition, with the effect of rapidly drying
the udder. But it is dangerous thing
and one to be avoided, to leave any con-
siderable quantity of milk in cows
udder at this time.-The Dairy.

How Roman Women Beautify Their Com
plexions.

plexions.
Compilations differ very much with
the climate. The English have beyond
a doubt, the most beautiful compilations
in the world. American girls possess
more beauty of feature perhaps, but
their compilations are not nearly so fine.
AS one goes farther south toward the
equator, one sees darker skins and dark
er hair and eyes, for all these physical
characteristics have reference to chmat-
ic influences. Upon two things the con-
dition of the skin depends-oil and col
oring matter The skin of very old
man or woman, for want of oil, becomes
like wrinkled, dried-up parchment; an
Albino has scarce any celoring matter
in his hair eyes or complexion. To
finish L will give you receipt for beau
tifying the complexion-the one
used by the danes of ancient
Rome. Probably it is familiar to many,
but there may be others who have never
read it. These ladies make stiff paste
of rye flour, and covered their faces
with 1T on retiring. In the morning
they washed it off with milk (they never
used water, and applied little powder
if it was deemed necessary. This, we
are told on good authority, is really the
best method of improving the complex
ion that has ever been used, either in
ancient or in modern times. The rye
flour is said to positively draw from the
skin any marks that may have fingered
on it. Moreover, it makes the complex
ion charmingly soft-an effect which
the milk helps to produce. Several
Partisan bellies adopted this plan, and
it is rumored that the Empress Eugene
tried it. AT all events the ladies who
are known to have followed the receipt
of the Romans are also those who have
been celebrated for their lovely skins.
In spite of the opinion of the clever
druggist, this is doubtless very effica-
cious in softening and bleaching the
skin.-Toron6o Globe.

Grapes in the Sick-room.

DIR. Hartsen of Cannes recommends
grapes as valuable diet in fever. The
grapes contain considerable amount of
hydro-carbonaceou matter, together
with aquantity of potassium salts,a COM
bination which does not irritate, but, on
the contrary, soothes the stomach, and
consequently is used with advantage,
even in dyspepsia. While considering
the carbohydrates contained in the
grape, we must not neglect the organic
acids, particularly tartaric acid. DR..
Harrison thinks the nourishing infu-
ences of these acids too much neglected.
1t is indeed known that they are
changed to carbonic acid in the blood
and are excreted as carbenates in the
urine. Possibly careful research might
show that, under some circumstances,
the organic acids are changed to fats.
Dr. Harrison believes that the organic
acids should be ranked with the carbo-
hydrates as foods. When fresh grapes
are not to be had, raisins or diluted
wines must be used.

Sailing Butter.

A correspondent of the Breeders Ga
zette says: One morning last summer
two or three friends met at my dairy.
While there the question was raised
whether butter gained or lost by sailing.
The cream of the herd was placed in
two churns and churned simultaneously.
Butter came first in the smaller churn,
coarse grained and yellow, and was
washed in several waters, worked dry
in butter worker, and weighed. It
was then salted, the salt being weighed
in, one ounce to the pound, was re-
worked and reweighed 1t was strict
" gilt-edged article, and was imme-
diately packed for shipment. Here are
the weights:
Unsalted, well-washed dry butter. z06
Sailed and reworked. ....................1G.0 3
Loss in ounces. ...................- 10
Particular attention is asked to the
other churning. The butter came too
soft, but of excellent color, and was
treated precisely like the other sample
except that it was too soft to be passed
through the butter worker, and the salt
was worked in, aud the water and brine
apparently thoroughly worked out by
hand;
Unsalted. well-washed soft butter -. .2S 0315
Sailed and re worked. .................29041 7
Apparent gain. ....................-lo l
This sample was too soft for packing
or making into rolls, but to a casual OBJ
server it would seem about as dry as
the other, and to need only cool
ing in order to be marketable. But my
dairywoman at once pronounced if full
of moisture, and insisted that it be put
aside and re worked the next day. /
therefore tosk charge of it, and next
morning it was e-worked and weighed
again, making only 26-0sf of strictly
marketable butter.
Here we have an apparent gain in the
first instance of seventeen ounces, but
final loss from original unsalted weight
of twenty ounces, snd from the
extreme salted weight. while soft, of
forty four ounces, nearly bne ounce aud
one and half ounces to the pound re-
spectively. This is a rather extreme
case.
Subsequent experiments led me to
the following conclusions:
