perpetrate great outrages.

BISHOP JOHN SHARP is the sharpest
man in Utah, it must be confessed. Being
shrewd enough to see that Mormonism has
got to the end of its rope, he walks into
Court and pleads guilty, with supplement
to the effect that he never will sin against
the law again. The Court, knowing as
well as Sharp, the influence of the latter
among the lowly of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, let John of
with reprimand. Now there is weeping
and wailing and crashing of teeth among
the high priests because of Sharp's back
sliding. The day is not far distant when
these same unctuous old polygamists will
cry out for the rocks and the hills to fall
upon them, because they were such fools as
to deride the calculating John Sharp,
Bishop, and refused to follow his wise
advice.

Drinking Habits Changing.

AS a proof of the great change in the
drinking habits of the people it is shown
by official statistics that the consumption
of ardent spirits in the country in the
first decade of this century averaged four
and a half gallons annually t. each head
of the population. The consumption of
spirits for drink has gradually declined
from that time, until now it does not
much exceed one gallon annually for
each inhabitant. The total amount of
spirits produced in the country and i'm
ported for consumption in 1860 was 9s,
9G9, COL gallons From this must be de-
Quoted an export of 1904, 0S7 gallons,
which leaves 50, 3G4, 5G4 gallons for do.
nestle consumption. If $4,000, 600 gal
Ions be deducted for use in the arts and
manufactures, there remained 81 3G4 564
gallons for consumption for drink. In
1884 the tota. amount of liquors retained
for domestic consumption and imported
was GS, SO7, IA gallons. If twelve per
cent. of this be deducted for the arts and
manufactures, 60, %, Cos gallons remain
for drink. In other words, 81 ,443, 32l
inhabitants of the United States con-
sumed in 1860 more spirits FOR drink
than 30, 900, 600 inhabitants consumed
for drink in 1884. While the consump-
ton Of whisky is steadily declining, the
use of beer and light wines is increasing.

The Little Snakes.

4 barelegged boy riding a rake on one
of the divides near the Santa F'e trail
dragged into the window a RATHER: but
instead of coiling and giving forth a de-
ticiant buzz, the snake manifested every
inclination to get off peaceably. The
average Kansas lad would have taken a
strap from his harness, given the reptile
two or three paralyzing taps, counted
the rattles, and gone on his way before
anybody discovered the rake was idle.
Not so did Billy Woodward who is only
few months from County Donegal and
possessed of the abundant natural curios
ity of an Irish boy abroad. lie GOT
down from his high seat and began to
study natural history. The snake tried
to run away, but Billy "headed her off, -
rs he said aftcrward. Once or twice the
fugitive coiled and threatened to the
boys great delight. For fifteen minutes
the teasing went on, and then the snake
darted her head into a hole in the prairie
sod. Perhaps third Of her length was
concealed while there came from under
ground noise which the boy said
sounded like "a queer kind of cluck-
ing" BY the time he had got a trace
chain loose the snake was out of the
hole and wrggling slowly toward the
uncut grass. Billy followed her up,
fetched her couple of cracks" and
supposed the sport was over.

came along and the boy exhibited his
trophy, and told what he had seen One

across the thckest fod Of the dead
snake. Out squirmcd eleven young rat
tiers, all OF size, eight inches long and
as large around as lead pencil. They
were very lively family and had to be
laid out one at time. Billv's eyes
grew big as he saw the revelatio" which
added the best part to his snake story.
The ranchman said that when overtaken
with her young the maternal RATHER will,
as last means of protection, swallow
the little ones. She calls them with a
noise which is a combination of clucll
and whistle. Very rarely does it happen
that the act is witnessed. In all his ex-
perience the ranchman said he had never
seen this snake swallowing performance
but once. Then he had come upon the
mother snake and her young summing
among the stones. They had tried to
get away, but failing, the young had
glided into the mouth of the old one in
response to the peculiar call, and had
disappeared before his eyes. - Globe

Heredity.

In the hereditary transmission of char
acteristics there are always two forces in
operation, which we may call dilution
and reinforcement. 1t is a matter OF
everyday observation that tendency
may be strengthened or weakened by
crossing, and it is upon this fact that
breeders OF special strains Of dogs, cat
tie or horses rely in great part, the only
other influence at their disposal being
alteration of food, habitation or other
environment of the youLg. Exactly the
same holds good with the human species.
For instance, man with an hereditary
tendency to govt may marry n woman
with the same tendency, and their son by
his manner of living may develop govt
at an early age; that is to say, the ten
dency in the father, re inlorced by mar
rage, and again reinforced by habit,
develops in the son with great rapidity;
on the other hand, man with u equity
tendency may marry a woman free from
that tendency, and thereby dilute its
force. There are, of course, well-known
facts which initiate against this view,
but they are generally held, we believe,
TO be exceptions TO the rule. In the case
of govt, phthisis and some other diseases,
the exception, are probably more appar-
ent than real; of the general truth of tho
law there can be no question. -BFitis1

Grooming S1OrSes.

The skin Of the horse, like that of
other animals, not only affords protcc
ton to the parts within, but, by the
pores affords an outlet to q large part
OF the waste of the body in the form of
sweat. In outdoor lifc-the natural
state of the horse-this membrane be-
comes thickcned and tough, capable of
resisting changes of temperature; and
by continual exercise, the pores are
kept open, giving free exit to all the
exhibitions. Bat this alone will not
give the smooth, glossy coat which adds
so much to the animals beauty. Con-
tining the horse to the stable, as IS
generally done for at least large part
of the year, renders his skin tender
especially when he is warmly blank
cted. Expose him now to great
change of temperature; take him out
and drive him until heated; return him
to the stable, and let him stand un-
cared for over night, or even for an
hour; the skin is rapidly chilled by the
evaporation of the sweat; the pores sud-
denly closed and often "A cold, rheuma-
tic stiffness, or some other disorder re-
suits. Proper grooming prevents this
by toughening the skin, keeping it in
healthy action, cqualizing the circula-
ton, removing distractions from the
pores, and, what is of more Importance,
by rousing the action of the horse, COM
pcnsatinr for the want of exercise con-
sequent upon stable life.
Currying and brushing should not be
done in the stable; the dust and scruif
will be scattered in the mangcr, to mix
with the food, beside keeping tho stable
uncleanly. The animal should be taken
out into the lot, securely tied and
handled so gently that he will enjoy
rather than fear the application of the
curry comb. \ sharp-toothcd comb,
roughly scraped over the tender skin, is
anything but pleasant, as the shrinking,
resisting animal will soon show. This
instrument should be lightly applied,
and dependence placed mainly upon the
brush. Currying should be be-
gun at the head, and the comb
passed lightly up and down until
all the dandrun is loosened, when il
should be removed with the brush
Much particularly should be observed
around the edges of the foretop and the
name. 1t is always a good plan tC
sponge off the head and ears, using but
little water, and smoothing the hail
down to its natural position. In going
over the back, quarters, loins, etc, the
comb should be used in one hand, and
the brush in the other, and the work
quickly done. Great care should always
be observed where the skin lies in folds,
as at the union of the legs with the body
but every part should be thoroughly
freed from dust and dandrulT. 1t must
never be overlooked that grooming is tC
a horse what bathing is to a person, and
in order to clean his skin it must be care
fully and thoroughly done.
A well-groomed horse will keep fat
on less food than one that is neglected,
because he will be in better health, and
his food will be more thoroughly as
simulated. AS rule, horses suIlcr from
lack of grooming more than from lack Of
| food. -.S04th and West.

Flour Barrels.

Flour barrels are source of great ex-

there are 10000, 900 of barrels OF flour
consumed in this country each year, and
say that there are $4,000, 600 of people
who buy it by the barrel, there might be
saved to the people of this country
s., 400, 900, saying that twenty cents per
barrel is saved by purchasing flour in
sacks. Really it may be little more than
this, especially so in muslin sacks, the
muslin being valuable for further use.
These is more flour than this sold in
barrels, but in the larger cities the
bakers sell the barrels for twenty and
twenty-five cents apiece, which repre-
sents loss of from ten to twenty cents
a barrel. The Milestone.
