Great Salt Lake,

A gentleman who has been lately sail
ing on the dead Sea of America" thus
describes it: "Soon we were on our
way toward the hazy western shore.
AS we passed along the sea- gulls
circled around us or fotaed on the wa
ter. their white plumage shining in the
sunlight. Every now and then hawk
moth would fit by or alight on the boat !;
dragon-fys would stop long enough to
gaze at us crriously and then spin off
toward the distant islands. Occasional
ly a E-year- locust would hum past
as if to mock at us for ever daring to be-
Geve that this is the Dead Sea of
America As the bow plowed through
the water millions of small diptera (fies)
would rise from the water where they
were resting, and cover the bow Of the
collected. Wherever we went we OBJ
served the same thing. The water of
the lake is their home, and they are as
much at home on water as skipper is
on an Eastern pond. In some places
where it is calm these flies darken the
water for miles. Here mot on the
beach, they lay their eggs;. here they
hatch, and here the larvae live by the
million till ready for the pupa state,
when they attach themselves to the sea-
weed Floating everywhere in the water)
and remain till they emerge as perfect
flies. The Larvae doubtless prey upon
the strange little shrimps that live in
the water. There are infinite numbers
of these, as there is scarcely place in
the lake where a bucket of water can be
dipped without taking up from twenty
to 500 Of them. It is strange that
people should call this dead sea- for,
though the number of species does not
exceed ten or fifteen, there is no lake,
fresh or salt, in the world that contains
half as many living things as Great
Salt Lake."

Jay Gould's Great Fortune.

Jay Gould has an income equal to a
small fortune every day. The New
York Journal "sizes him up" as follows !:
In round numbers the permanent invest
ment stocks appearing on Mr.. Gould's
schedule were $50, 200 shares Of West
ern Union telegraph, 10000 shares Of
Missouri Pacific, 100000 shares of Wa
bash common and 10000 shares of the
preferred, $4,000 shares of Kansas and
Texas, 10000 shares Of Texas Pacific
and 10000 shares of Erie There were
a large number of small lots of yarious
stocks, apparently only incidentally
held. Besides his railroad shares Mr..
Gould holds five and a half millions Of
Wabash general bonds. At yesterdays
prices the value of these securities is
$40 ,495, 900. Western Union and Mis-
souri, Pacific pay dividends; the other
stocks do not. The bonds also bear in
terest. Between them they yield him
~ ,14O 900 year. His interest in the
Union, Trust company and bis loans are
profitable to him. The World building,
nominally owned by the Western Union
company, was built with his money.
In real estate, loans and mortgages he
has So 900 900, and $3 10000 more in
floating Investments. His two resi-
dences represent another 81, 000, 900 and
his yatch $500, 900. His wealth, as
nearly as hecan tigureit, is $58, 795, Alb,
and his income $4,640,O11 Thus his
fortune earns him $12, 858.S8 every day
and So. 95 each minute.

Farm Uses OF Crude Petroleum.

Crude petroleum is wonderful
preservative of wood, but it is in no
sense paint, and should have no pig
ment whatever mixed with it. It has
none OF this drying properties of lin
seed oil, and will never harden upon a
surface. On the contrary, it will PEN
citrate where water cannot, filing the
pores of wood and completely excluding
wet. There is nothing equal to it as q
first application to buildings or fences,
especially when rough and weather
beaten. I have so applied it, leaving
it few weeks to the action of the air
and hot sun, then covering with lead
and inseed oil. The wood work Of my
farming tools is kept full Of it. App
piled hot to wagon felloes from time to
time, the tires will never loosen. For
years / have used it in multitude of
ways, and a barrel of light crude

where it may be produced, and it costs

all, about IS. But if you get any, get
nderstanding with it, and don't try to

harness with it, and don't use it to hndle

Magnificent Distances iii Texas.

From the Gree. willie, {Texas3 Banner.
The distance from Dallam county, in
the Texas Pan Handle to Brownsville,
at the mouth of the Rio Grande, is 800
miles; but we can better realize how far
it is by saying that it is nearer from
Dallam county, Tex, to St. Paul,
MINI, or to Bismarck, D. T., or to He
lena, NJ. T., OF to Salt Lake City, Utah,
than it is from Dallam county to
Brownsville, Tex. It is also nearer
from Brownsville to Guatemala in
Central America, than from Browns
vile to Dallam county. Again, it is
nearer from Liscomb county, Tex, to
St. Louis, than from the same county
to Galveston. And even Chicago and
Cincinnati are nearer to Texas than
Dallam county. is to Brownsville. It
is further from Texarkana to Ell Paso
than from :, Texarkana to West
Virginia, old Virginia Of North Carolina.
Suppose a gentleman should start from
Savannah, Ga, on the Atlantic, to look
at q track of land at Ell Paso. After
travelling three days and nights on a
passenger train he might arrive at
Orange, Tex. Ofcourse when he put his
foot on Texas soil he would begin to
look; around to see how he liked the
I country, by way Of deciding whether he
would buy the Ell sPaso land or not.
But if told that he was not half way
from HAVANA to Ell Paso, he might turn
back discouraged, but such would be
the fact. Again, Texas wants deep
water at Galveston. But it is nearer
from El Paso, Tex, to the deep harbor
Sof San Diego, Cal, than from FL Paso
to Galveston. In fact, more than 1 900
miles of the Pacific coast, extending
from Los Angeles, Cal. !, to Mazatlan,
Mexico, is nearer Ell Paso than any part
Of the Texas gulf coast. os

would do what we sometimes call mis-
slonary work, says a writer in the New
York Evening Post. Who can doubt If

two members, who usually think alike,
for a time at least, that it would become

matter OF course, and to the lasting ben.
eft Of all the future inmates Of the
home? It may not occur to the young
man and woman who found the home
that the greatest safeguard Of it will
prove to be the tastes they have in COM
mon, over which time has no power, and
to love the same books, to approve of
the same author, and to take delight
in his work will form a bond not easily
broken. OF course it may be possible
for a man and woman toread Shaks-
peare and to enjoy him and still to quar-
rel, but it is not very likely that they
will do so, for all the likeness of mind
which leads them to ENJOY him are links
in the chain that binds them. The
associations that are connected
with * home - books are
never readily forgotten or overlooked,
and sons and daughters have been led
away from temptation by these "cold
but sure friends, the books that moth
er priced or that mother loved. How
ever the mistress Of the house may re-
gard her duties to those employed by
her, she cannot very we'll put out Of

anything worth reading, it must be pro-

dining-room. On these should be
placed not only the cook book and the
literature of the kitchen, but some 9TH
er good books and papers; let it be I'M
derstood that these may be taken and
read at any time. It is
just possible that some Of these,
like the Bibles in the cars, may not be
used, but it is not probable. If any one
fears that taste for reading will inter-
fere with a legitimate performance of
duties, would like to cite to her the
case of woman whom I know who
reads Carlyle, and quotes Burns, and is
also an accomplished cook, and one of
the most conscientious diggers- out-of-
corners ever employed as a maid of all
work. A judicious selection Of cook
books is an actual inspiration to girl,
and a perusal of them will lead to that
Intelligent interest in work which makes
it pleasurable.

Poor Mackenzie's Ro1nanca.

r IS probably known to bnt few. says
San Antonio letter of the Goth inst. .
that Gen. Mackenzie was to have mar
ried within a few months when his mind
failed him. His betrothed is a Mrs.
Sharp OF San Antonio, q lady to whom
he was devotedly attached. Some Of
his friends think that the emotions in
view of this prospective happiness were
too much for the soldier, and when the
whole story is told there is a probability
about this theory. Years ago Maoken-
zie was stationed here for time and
lived in the family of Mrs. Tunstall.

young girl, just maturing into woman
hood, was a great fayorite with the
young officer, and there grew up be-
tween them e warm friendship, amount
ing to q passion on the part Of the then
lieutenant, his friends say. The lady
was Of fine family; Mackenzie had his
stars to win. They drifted apart, Miss
Tunstall becoming Mrs. Sharp, and the
excitement of border warfare helped

months ago Mackenzie came back here,
no longer a subordinate, but to take
General Ord's place. Frontier fighting
was thing Of the past, and before the
officer was the last half Of lifetime of
garrison quiet and ease. !,
He came here to find Mrs. Sharp O.

increased strength, It was not long be-

passion was returned, The course of
courtship ran smooth and even as the

too full. The strain on heart and mind
had been severe one through all the

Whatever outside duties woman may
be called upon 70 perform, she is the
centre OF the home circle. On her de-
ponds largely the attraetiye ness Of the
home, and no woman has right to dim
its brightness or lessen her power By
being careless concerning her personal
appearance. n. Y. =s2z# 6 .# .5.5
It may seem like bold assertion, but
it is none tho less trne that a woman
who is always neatly dressed is able to.
exercise q greater infuence for good.
than one who is the reverse.
The well-dressed woman is more at
tractive TO the eye, and the eye is one
of the main avenues to the heart. - ]
Other things being equal her influence
is more potent than her neighbors,
whose reputation of dressing 'sjust as il
happen" at home in some defnable way
casts shade over.whatever virtues she
may possess. Awoman neatly dressed
is ready for emergencies. The chance
caller and the unexpected guest finds
her ready to receive them. But per-
haps the greatest necessity for looking
we'll at home exists in the home itssf
To the members of our own family cir
Gle we owe. our first duty. A tidy we'll
arranged home is very inviting to tired
man and Che charm is heightened if she
who presides over the home is neat and
tidy also. And perhaps some who are
ever studying the subject of how to keep
the BOYS at homo evenings would find
the problem half solved if they gave a
proper amount Of attention to home
dress.
The woman who is. both mistress and
servant, as very many housakeepers ere,
is constantly met by the temptation to
neglect her own adornment and sscri-
fee her own tastes and wishes to tha
numberless demands upon her time and
strength. Of course to q busy woman
every moment is precious, yet few
spent in fresheningthe toilet will scarce
ly be- missed and somehow one feels
! rested, and the work goes easier for it.
The habit of dressing neatly at home
like all other habits, is strengthened by
practice, and if a girl is early taught
that neatness in dress is one Of the car
dina} virtues, she will practice it almost
unconsciously.
It should be part of 3, girls home
training-not only the duty but the
method. Let the child understand that
it is to please others rather than to win
admiration for herself and it will but
help to make her thoughtful.
This is subject which concerns us
all, and if we give the matter the
thought which itdeserves we shall see
its Importance more clearly
.. If we hold up the mirror of theory in
which to view our practice no doubt
many of US will find imperfections
7 which need only be seen to be remedied,
So we shall be helped thereby, our
homes made brighter, and our families
happier.
