ono Mormon In his Family

Israel Pinkham and wife moved from
Maine many years ago to Utah Terri
tory. They passed through Salt Lake
the other day on their way to their old
home, and the old lady made no secret
of the cause of their return. TO the
reporter for a Gentle newspaper she
said my husband and l have lived
together these forty-three years, and
though we joined the Mormons twenty
years ago, nothing was ever said about
polygamy until this spring. Then some
sneaking priests came round and got
the old mar worked up with the idea
that he must have n or two more
wives, Not much, Israel Pinkham,'
says l we've travelled together this
fur, and no Mormon will separate us
now. We've got two sons and a darter
back East VINO shan't have anybody
pOking fun at them and there's the
two little boys that we buried back III
Maine, who won't have no occasion to
pint their fingers at US when we cross
over to the other shore. This thing has
gone just as far as it's going to. Israel
Pinkham, we're going back to Maine,
says l, and whether we've got one year
or ten years to live. Wen end this here
pilgrimage decent, as we begun it,
Amt that what l told you ?'' said she,
addressing the old man, who had been
a silent listener. He smiled In a faint
way, and nodded assent. Were 60
ING back to Maine. F" continued tue old
lady, ''poorer than when we came ont
here, but wiser and no wuss, so far as l
know. ThereW be no more Mormon
in this family"

England,s Great wars.

While Sir Stafford Northcote was
addressing his audience at Marylebone,
and making some reference to the
little wars" in which the government
had engaged, a gentleman from below
desired to know something about the
"big wars" AS Sir Stafford North
cote did not crafty his curiosity, we
propose to do so instead. The CrimeaH
war was the last big" war in which
the country was engaged. And, lnclu-
ding that, England has been engaged
altogether in seven such wars since she
first maintained a regular army and
took part in the modern system of war
fare. These seven were the wars which
lasted respectively from 1859 to 1897,
from 1702 to IVA, from 1879 to 1748,
from 1867 to 1853, from 1775 to 1888,
from 1898 to 1916, and from 1854 to
1856. OF these seven five were begun
by Wings, and two only by the Tories;
four were put an end to by the Tories
and three only by the Wings; and three
pNl vi liz GCFCh hlSoNIu IN NSAASSS
to prolong when the Tories were desir-
u of peace. In 1713 the Wings would
have prolonged the wal long after all
Its objects had been gained, as Lord
Macauley himself confesses; and the
country was indebted to the Tories for
putting an end to useless bloodshed.
The struggle over the Peace of Paris
in 1868 was the counterpart of what
occurred fifty years earlier; and in 1873
a Tory government was actually turned
out by the Wings for having included
France and Spain in the peace which
we made with the United States. We
are saying nothing now of the motives
or of policy or of consequences. All
we say is, that if anybody asks about
the ''big wars'' with a view to ascer-
tanning which of the two parties on
the whole has been the warlike or mill
itary party, here is his answer.

Ola Customs in Holland.

The old customs are held in great
reverence. No innovation is tolerated.
If a baby is born in a house a small pla-
card bordered with red silk and lace is
nailed to the door, and before the day is
over the friends come aud drink Exam
deel," which is a sort of a mulled wine,
and eat 'kaneel Rockies, "a sort of Gin
anon cake. If a member of the house
hold is sick, a bulletin is fixed on the
door. so that passing friends may learn
about the invalid without loss of time.
If a Young couple are betrothed the
event is celebrated by agreat consump-
tion Of Observation-Disclosures sugar-a
sort Of a sweet cake, and copious
draughts Of "bruidstrauen," or bridal
tears-which is a kind Of spiced wine.
The women carry foot-warmers in win
ter. When you order a cup of tea, a
small portion of tea is brought to you
with a kettle of boiling water, and you
make it yourself. When the clock strikes
the quarter of an hour the chimes in the
church tower play a few bars in al op-
cratic air. When new herring arrive
at a shop, a crown decorated with box
leaves and gliding is displayed with the
Dutch red, white and blue flag, When
there is a painted Turk or Moor's head
before you as a sign, you can get your
American dose of blue pills, for it means
a drug store.

done nothing wrong. They cannot put
me in Jail"
II rather think that's a matter foI
the magistrate to decide" said Mr..
jones, loftily.
And so poor Jessie was taken off in
charge of the policeman, like any
wretched culprit of the street.
She pleaded "Not guilty" but Of
what use was her simple plea? The
evidence was strong, and she was com
mitted for trial, and ordered to prison,
in default of bail.
AND SO the case was dismissed, to
make room for the trial of a drunken
brute, who was accused ef pounding
his much-enduriHg wife INTO a Jelly.
Am 1 dreaming?" sobbed poor jess
sic. ''Oh, why-why can't l die, be-
fore this disgrace comes on my poor
motherl"
Mr.. Jones returned, well satisfied,
to his shop, in front of which stood
the Million carriage, with its olive
green hammer cloth and gilded coat of
arms. He hurried in. Miss Million
sat in front Of the counter.
"Oh, here is Mr.. Jones himself y
said Miss Million, in that high pitch
ed self-asserting voice of hers, The
funniest thing, Mr.. Jones? Positive
ly, l almost expec led to be arrested
hal ha! hal When l reached home,
my maid found this hanging to the lace
of my sleeve"
And she held up the amethyst cross.
MI. Jones and Ferguson. the shop
man, stared at each other g%uiltily,
The purple flush of the ametaysg SEEM
ed to glare at them like %reproachful
eyes.
"We were too hasty," said Mr.. Fer
guson.
But, you know, appearances were
all against her" said Jones.
The fortunate temperance Of the
missing jewels, of course, released door
Jessie from "durance vile" within the
hour.
"But L have lost my place as nur-
sery-governess at Mrs. Hornblende's,"
sighed Jessie, white and frighlerI
II snail have 10 starve, mamma
and l."
mo fear of that, my DEAR said
Mr. Jones, whose conscience had stung
him sorely for the days events. Il
have five little elves of my own at
home, and Mrs. Jones is delicate. You
shall come and be nursery-governess to
them. And I'll pay you fifty g%uineas a
year."
Jessle's eyes glittered.
sob, sir, l do not think 1 can earn
so much money!" she faltered. To
her it seemed like a mine of gold.
"I'Il risk that" laughed Mr.. Jones.
Mrs. Hornblende was only to pay
me thirty" persisted Jessie, whose
sense Of justice was painfully acute.
"Mrs. Hornblende is nothing to me "
retorted Mr.. Jones.
And so, happily to all parties, end
ed the episode of the Amethyst Gross.

III WE TRY.

We can learn a useful lesson
From a single drop of dew,
For it sparkles to remind Is
How to make our whole life true;
We should never waste our moments,
They are passing quickly by
To improve them is a duty
We IA do it, if we try.
Let us drop a gentle warning
By the wayside as we go,
And, perhaps, the germ of kindness
In a careless heart may grow
Let our seed be at morning,
For the night is drawing nigh;
There's n harvest for the faithful,
We may share it, if we try.
As the bee is never idle,
And the brook is never still,
In the pleasant field of labor,
There's a place we all may fill.
Then be ready for the Master;
He is coming by-and-by;
There are starry crowns in glory,
We may wear them, if we try.

The dangers of the Sea ''are now in
the navy four times and in the mer-
chant service fifteen times as great as
the dangers on land" That is, accsr-
ding to figures furnished in the report,
among landsmen at sailors ages the
mortality from all kinds of violence
does not exceed one per 1000, whereas
in the navy the ratio is four and in the
merchant service fifteen per 1000.

How to Feed Pigs.

Prairie Farmer.
The Ontario Agricultural College
has, in Prof. VIM, Brown, an untiring
worker in the course Of progress in
agriculture. He has year after year
given to the world the results of prac>
teal scientific experiments in feeding,
breeding and dairylng that have been
of great value. After testing the
question with a large number of ani>
mails and in variety of ways, he de-
clares that "raw peas are fifty per cent
cheaper than cooked peas, and cheaper
than Indian corn in any FORM" Of
course the latter point would depend
upon the price of the two commodities.
AS to the best manner of feeding, a
farmer neighbor of mine, who raises
one or two fat hogs every year, finds
that upon the one.meal>a-day plan he
never fails to secure q large frame,
(2) extreme fairness finally, and (3)
freedom from sickness, all of which he
humorously attributes to (4) keeping
'em happy aud contented."
His neighbors' pigs, fed three or four
times II day, are, so he says, "squealing
all the time they amt eating;" while
his own "get up and eat their one
square meal, and then lie down and
sleep most Of the time." One season,
raising three pigs, he made, Il. e., ex-
elusive Of weight of the animals when
he bought them) 1860 pounds of pork
in $50 days, an average of seven
pounds, or two and One-third pounds,
each, day. The last two months the
trio consumed, on an average, ten
quarts of raw corn meal a day. The
dry meal was turned on top Of fresh
water Ga pailful or two) in the trough.
Thus only were they watered and fed.
When killed, though not fully up to
the Strasburgh geese, which are fed
of fat livers (for the famous pates de
foie gras so beloved by gourmets) and
which are so'accurately diagnosed by
the expert attendant, that only those
are killed today that would die an I'M
natural death from oliver complaint
tomorrow still the fat disease was full
ly up to, in fact, above the average.

A Superb Compost.

Mrs. Joe Bailey, Of Scott county
Mississippi, in an address to her grange,
gave one of the best formulas we have
ever read, and we give it with our spe-
cial commentator:
THE best fertilizer on a farm is
good common sense. A we'll educated
mind, good heart and willing hands
are the principal ingredients; without
these all your labor is spent in vain.
You might have all the fertilizers in
the land at your command and if not
judiciously applied what would it prof.
it you? However, we beg leave to
submit the following, earnestly re>
questing our brothers to try it, as we
can assure them it will prove to be the
best compost heap ever invented"

lence, mix thoroughly and pour over
it 20 gallons of misapprehension, 80 of
pride, 10 of folly and rs of vanity,
This will do for the first layer"
"Then take the scent and effects of
all the cigars and cigaretts and mix
them, with the scent and effects of all
the whisky, wine and beer used during
the year, and mix them with all the
signs and groans and tears of mothers,
wives and children, which have been
caused by the use of the above, and
pour oyer this as many gallons as you
please of vain regrets and broken
promises. This will do for the second
layer"
