WHAT OUR GIRLS NEED.
Preparatory Training for the Duties of
Housekeeping.

The fair maidens who, when the roses
bloom again, will become, or hope to be-
come, "sweet girl graduates" are now
about to return to the struggle with the
vexations Of the schoolroom, which, being
duly overcome, they hope to receive the
diplomas certifying that they have matured
the scheme of studies calculated to develop
the accomplished American girl of the
period. Many of these young ladies will
perhaps not be content with having e fin
ished ut the seminary ut which they shall
have been graduated, but will enter one or
another of the schools for the higher educa-
ton of women. If they shall not approach
to the plane reached by a George Eliot, n
Harriet Martineau or Mary Somerville 1t
will not be the fault perhaps, of the in
structors who zealously expatiate upon the
benefits of the new system. BY all means,
let every woman become q veritable blue

practical knowledge demanded for meeting
the needs of the household. Mothers anx

What to DO.

One Of the great problems Of our day il

too numerous. Agencies of all classes are

ment and willing to serve for pittance ar.
to be reckoned by the thousands. Book
keepers with hungry eyes are reading the
advertising lists in the vain hope of an
opening for their application. Collectors,
messengers, doorkeepers, watchmen, con-
ductors and the great variety of others, al
ready expert, seeking employment in kim
bred callings, are waiting anxiously fol
someone to engage them. Every possibl.
form of service that can be reckoned in the
list of genteel occupations is anxiously
sought after by multitudes who have no
other provision for their daily needs. The
men who have been trying to live by their
wits must go to work at the bench or in the
feld of these..the soil offers the most re-
munerative employment. The mass of the
unemployed must seek sustenance from the
bosom of mother earth. Land is cheap and
there is wide area that awaits the tiller.

WAX AND ITS USES.
Product Not ms Costly as Honey, but Tar
More ServicenbIe.

The most valuable product of the work
wax" said a dealer in beeswax i" It is used
for all sorts of purposes in medicine, in
CLUES, in cements, and q thousand other
things Makers of fancy paper use it in
coloring the paper; cutters use it in polish
ing the handles of knives; jewellers use it
in waxing moulds in which they cast articles
of jewelry tailors and shoemakers use it in
waxing threads painters use it in cements !;
druggists use it in hair oil, pomade, salve,
and perfumery, and pattern makers close
up holes in their patterns with it. Much of
it is made into wax flowers, and flowers are
dipped into melted wax to preserve them.
1t would probably be impossible to
ascertain the exact amount of wax gathered
in this country in a year. OF course an
enormous amount is lost in honey sold in
the comb. The greatest quantity comes
from the West and South, and it generally
comes in small quantities from different viii
lagos. The farmer strains his honey and
boils the wax in water, and when it is soft
he pours it off into any sort of pan. This
makes it come to us in oil sorts of shapes.
He sells it to the village store, or number
of the farmers club together and send their
supply of wax to dealer. They get about
"a cents q pound for it,
Glover honey makes yellow wax and
buckwheat honey dark wax. Sometimes we
find bees in the wax, but that does not hap
zen very often. The dealers sell it for 35
cents pound.
"When wax is to be used for flowers and
several other purposes, it has to be bleached
in order to remove the color. This is done
by melting it and allowing it to flow over
horizontal wooden cylinders revolving into
and out of cold water. The wax as it fall.
is chilled into thin ribbons, which are laid
out on canvas and bleached in the sun.
This is repeated until it has become quite
white. 1t is then melted, strained through
silk sleeves, and cast in moulds. 1t can,
however, be bleached more quickly by the
use of acids. II is sometimes adulterated
with starch mutton suet, or stearine, but
this deceit can be readily detected. Wax il

A Man with MANY BuIle, Wound.

Charles s. Kingsley, of Mansfield, q
veteran of the late war, returned to his
home in TINT place few days ago, for the
first time since he enlisted, having been fol-
twenty years confined in an insane asylum
in Washington. He was wounded twenty
three times in battle. He has the use of but
one leg and one arm. He was shot once in
the mouth, the ball coming out at the cor
ner of the left eye. The wound he received
in the head necessitated it being held to-
gether by three silver plates. 1t was soon
after this operation that he became insane.
short time ago it was discovered that the
cause of his insanity was one of the plates
pressing on his brain. The defect was
remedied and he gradually recovered his
reason and came out of living death of
twenty years. All that has transpired in
that long interval is blank to him, the war
memories being TO him as yesterday. His
papers will entitle him to pension Of $75
a month and back pension money of nearly
$40, 600. He found his family in Mansfield
in destitute circumstances. - Welis5oro Ga

How Nrendelssohn Made Music.

Mendelssohn delighted in the open air
and beautiful scenery. When he was twen-
ty, he staid for some time at Chester, where
he was entertained by Mr.. Taylor.
He loved afterwards to tell of the charm
which the meadow and brook, the trees and
grass had for him there. He spent much
time in sketching and painting; but his
head was full of music, and everything sug.
gested musical idea to him. He was very
fond of carnations, and he set bunch OF
them to music in the album of daughter
of his host with drawing of tho flowers
over the notes not forgetting to set some
delicate arpeggios in the music for the scent
of the flowers. On seeing the younger sister
with some bell-shaped flowers in her hair,
he said that the fairies might dance on the
trumpets, and he set them to q capriccio.
He never tired of merry-making, aud one
afternoon toward dusk, he, with number

company that was picknicking in thicket.

While still lingering around it, Mendelssohn
began to ask for some music, but nothing
could be found save worn-out fiddle of
tho gardeners. Mendelssohn, all undis-
mayed, began to play, shouting with
laughter Mt his performance but soon there
was a hush in the chat and sport and the
whole party sat spell-bound at the lovely
music which he drew from even that de-
spised fiddle. He would sit for hours, i'm
promising dance-tunes, and liked nothing
better than to entertain his friends with hi,
music. He always looked back on his visit
TO Chester as one of the brightest spots in
bright life.-Agatha Ttnis, IN " From

MORMON GAMBLERS.
An English PhysicIan,s Utah ExperIen

DR.. Webb, one of the leading physicians
of Manchester, England, and gentleman
of considerable means, arrived in this city
one day last week en- route home, after an
extended tour through the Yellowstone
Park. On Friday evening he CHANGED to
drop into certain Main street saloon with
friend. Two or three tin horn" gam
blers who were lounging around forced an
acquaintance with DR.. Webb and became
very attentive to him. One of them volun.
TERED to initiate him into the mysteries OF
the faro table and took him into back room
where game was in progress. After watch.
ing the game q short time and making few
bets some of the gamblers suggested game
of whist. After several games had been
played the gamblers suggested the great
American game of poker be substituted.
The doctor consented, the chips were
brought in and the poker game was soon in
progress. The doctor lost from the start,
but supposed everything to be straight
until, after discarding jack and drawing
two queens, one Of the gamblers showed
down four jacks. The Englishman i'm.
mediately realized that he had fallen into
the hands of party of thieves, threw down
his cards and drew out his money from the
"pot." The gamblers insisted that he
should pay over the amount he took down,
but this he refused to do, and, after little
alteration, they said it was all right and
proposed that they all take drink and go
home. That drink fixed the doctor.
After he drank it he remembered nothing
more until he awoke at eight o'clock yester-
day morning and found himself sitting in
chair in the front part Of the saloon. 1t is
hardly necessary to state his pockets were
empty.
DR.. Webb succeeded at last in getting out
Of the city, but he has concluded that if
Salt Lake is the City of Saints he prefers
hereafter to cast his lot among sinners

CHASED BY A CYCLONE.
Terrible Experience in tho Mountains of
Colorado.

Within few rods of the opening of the
gulch | heard roar, as of onooming wind.
Nan cried out again to her horse, the ami
NAL lurehed forward yet faster, and in a
moment we were all entering the ravine. 1t
was extremely uneven ground, and covered
by broken, sharp stones. My sister and l
were watching Nan; she slipped off the sad
die and hurriedly motioned to us to do tho
same. The instant we were dismounted the
horses scrambled rapidly forward further
into the gulch, and we did the same, Nan
now in rear, and driving us along That
night found my shoes cut, and cash in
my foot, but did not feel the wound when
l received it. While we were thus hurrying
to get to the deepest shelter of the gully,
the roar above us was awful, and was in
creasing every moment. 1t reyerberated
strangely through the ravine. We could
not have heard word had we spoken We
all stopped simultaneously and i1oked at
each other. They were two very white faces
that saw, with strained, frightened eyes.
Nan made movement with her head that
we were not to go on, and we crouched
down against the rocky sides of the earth.
The next instant Emma leaned heavily upon
me and silently pointed upward toward the
chasm's opening, where we had entered.
The black cloud was just going past our
point of vision, it had dilated to twice its
former size, but still retained its cylinder
shape. If it could be possible, it was more
dense than ever, and boiling in its black
ness. Balls of fire sped back and forth in
the air; or my sight was under an halluci-
nation to that effect. All the phenomena
seemed TO have their center in that cone Of
black cloud. The strangest the most awful
thing of all that fearful experience was what
l saw now. Behind that black cloud,
whether following or driving it l know not,
came tall cloud of intensest, most dazzling
white--a pillar of glory, growing every in
slant more like pillar of fire, and soon ap
pearing to control the inky shape. The
raving noise was now at its height. In O
moment the two mysterious shapes had
passed from our contracted line of vision
they marched on, destroying as they went
The crash of timber along a stream not far

flat on the stony ground, grasping at eacl

gulch. Afterward | knew that we could
hardly have saved our lives had we not been
