ACCORDING to the Chinese, cask max

thousand years they labored, however,
under this drawback: They did not

ing to place boy inside while the coop
er frightened the hoops and secured the
lid in position. But how was the boy to
be got out? This remained an unsolved
problem for three thousand years.

and poor some years ago lent money to-
a poor student at one of the large New
England colleges to help him through
his course, taking a note endorsed by a
near relative. The boy died, and the
relative refused to pay. He is ian emil
nent Christian" in his town, and for
many yearshas professed entire sancti-
fcation. The clergyman writes to the

KATE FIELD is very angry at Felt, a
Mormon elder. He once told her, In
Boston. that no Mormon practiced
polygamy without the consent OF the
first wife. that women did not object to
polygamy, and that polygamous families
werA filed with the spirit of peace. She
finds, OH visiting Salt Lake City, that
bis matrimonial career is not proof of
happiness incidental to celestial marriage.
She declares that when he said that
women never complained of polygamy
and lived harmoniously in it, he quite
forgot his mothers experience, that OF
his fathers plural wives, and lost sight
of his own second wife's broken spirit. :
