Traits Of Brigham Young's Family.

FROM the Baltimore sun.
John w. Young, the oldest son OF Brigham
Young, has been the principal agent in
Washington working against the pending
Legislation to repress Mormon practices. He
is said to possess many of the remarkable
qualities of his father, including his wonder
ful energy and selEreliance. Most of his
property interests are in Utah, but he has
also business office in New York City. 1t
il through him that the correspondence has
been carried on and the money disbursed.
His mother WAS the first OF the seventeen
wives of Brigham, and he was the first OF the
hfty-two children OF whom the great Nor
mon apostle was the sire. All of the
children OF the different mothers are
said 10 possess more less of the
characteristics Of the father. Most of
the girls were pronounced blondes and tine
specimens OF physical and intellectual
womanhood. The old man, of course, had
his pick for wives, and his entire family OF
mothers and children were always stars
among the Mormon population. The ma
jority of the sons and daughters are still in
Utah, but some of them are in the Pacific
states, and some in England. They are all
in comfortable circumstances, as their father
at his death distributed impartially his i'm
mense wealth. One of the younger sons was
sent to West Point, and Is now a first lieu
tenant OF engineers in the United States
army. 1t was common comment during the
lifetime of Brigham Young that his fanil y
was entirely harmonious. This may have
been because his great fortune allowed him
to provide separate establishment for each
family, and the different families were never
brought together except on great public oc
occasions, when of course, they were upOr
their good behavior.

SOME GOOD cows.

Spencer borden, of Fall River, Mass,
writes TO the country Gentleman, that his
COW "Gold Lace" which dropped a heifer
calf April |, averaged To milk her own
weight 600 pounds) every thirty days dur
ing nearly the whole year, on ordinary feed ;
and from 2S5 pounds 10 ounces OF milk made
q pounds ounce OF butter In seven days.
g. NJ. Winslow, secretary OF tho Ayrshire
Breeders association gives the record Of eight
cows of that stock, with an average weight OF
lOs9 pounds, being about tho right size for "A
profitable dairy COW, and tho everage weight
of milk 1852 pounds, or an average of $500
quarts of milk per COW. This milk Is sold at
au average OF five cents a quart for the year,
which would make an average FROM each

which, being registered stock, are sold for
breeding purpose.
In answer to inquiries a. TO how to get the
largest butter test from Jersey cows Prof
Stewart say a i.year old Jersey COW made
l3 pounds Of butter per week, and her owner
proposed To develop her into n prodigy. lie
had been giving her quarts OF ground feed,
aud he increased this to ~ quarts in some two
weeks, and fed her on this quadruped ration
for some four weeks. She was great eater,
and this enormous increase in food caused
her To lay on flesh rapidly, but did not in
crease her butter yield. This led him to be-
heve that her butter yield could not he in
she WAS an excellent subject to develop into
a much higher butter yield, had he very

forced 80 much rich food into her system

ID also, after making hor great record of y
pounds 10 ounces, one year later increased
this over ~ pounds. Both these cows had
been fed for development for one or more
years before official tests were made.
Prof. Stewart sold two cows from his herd
because he did not believe either would ever
reach fourteen pounds. one has given near
ly - pounds in AN officially conducted test,
and the ether Is pounds. His tosts were too
short, aud persistent feeding in those cases
produced great results.

DR.. Elizabeth J. French lectured at the
Young Mems Christian association hail,
Baltimore, on "Wednesday afternoon, ON
Marketing aud Cooking" she said: "The
man or woman who can market judcously
and scientifically is an artist, a iinanCier and
a business man woman. Always buy the
very best tor cheap food il always unwhOl-
some and half spoiled when we get 1t. A
soak for twenty-five cents will richly satisfy
four persons, while three persons will eat
two-pound steak for twenty-five cents and
still feel hungry. The earlier you get to
market the better, and it's only the lazy
and incapable who'll delay marketing till :,
9 or 10 o'clock, and then find all the
best stuff gone, tho rest picked over
aud warmed and dried by the sun" She
gave numerous directions for selecting good
meats, fish, etc. The way to test butter is to
press on the cloth surrounding; II clear
water oxudes the butter is fresh and will keep
several days. Fresh eggs will balance per
tectly, and no other eggs will. As soon az
the provisions are brought home they should
be assorted at once, and all meats, poultry
and fish should be cleansed, thoroughly
dried and put away, not in the damp cellar,
but in some cool, high place. She deprecated
the American fashion OF boiling down food.

property, stands unchanged to this dag.
A woman can institute a case in her own
behalf in the courts of law on her own
responsibility if she prefers not to consult
her guardian, but she cannot plead in
court. BY a law recently passed all
women who pay borough rates are en-
titled to vote in all municipal matters
that fail under the decision of the vote
of the community, and this was passed
simply as a piece of justice, without any
woman having raised her voice to de-
mand it. So far the women in Iceland
scarcely realize the advantages of the
franchise to which they are entitled,
owing in a great measure to the severe
struggle against poverty; the trade mon
opoly of the Danish government, imposed
in 1000, and only removed in 1854, had
reduced the country to a condition of
poverty, from which it is only slowly re-
covering. There are not wanting signs,
however, that the women will progress
side by side with the men in the improve
ments which they are struggling for, both
in their government and education.

A beautiful Philadelphia had won a
'sgros lot" in the matrimonial lottery, in
the shape of a husband of high birth and
position in the North of Europe, who
had been vanquishcd by the fair ones
charms while an attache to his embassy
in Washington. Having brought back
his bride to Europe, they were present at
a breakfast given in their honor, at
which his majesty, the emperor of Aus
tria, appeared to salute the host. 1t is
easy to imagine the feelings of the guests,
above all of the punctilious and courtly
bridegroom, when, every one having re-
spectfully risen at the appearance of the
monarch, the bride was seen to remain
quietly seated at table, cycling the royal
parsonage with consummate GOODNESS.

full countess answered.: ooh, I did it on

Too Much swoenlnr.

The ACCESSIBILITY of giving every apart
ment a vigorous 'sbroom cleaning" at
least once q week has been so strenuously
insisted upon by some notable house
keepers that it has by many been con-
verted into an imperative duty. But
looking at the matter in On unprejudiced
light, n cannot clearly see why a draw
ing-room, inhabited perhaps only a few
hours of the afternoon and evening, or
an unoccupied guest chamber should re-
quirc the same amount of publication
demanded by a sewing, sitting or dining
room. The dust-pan and brush are labor
saving machines that do not receive due
appreciation. By their aid in removing
a little dust here and a little there the
business of sweeping a whole room may
be deferred at times, when at the first
glance anything less than a complete
routing out of furniture and dirt togeth-
er would seem impossible Har-

A Boautiful Picture Dono In Thread.
There is now being exhibited in Chi
cagoa beautiful picture done entirely
with a needle. At the distance of a few
feet it has the appearance of a mellow old
engraving or etching, but on close in
lspection shows itself to be needlework.
The background is of white silk, grown
somewhat yellow with age, and the ma
sterial employed in working is thread
drawn from black silk Grape. The draw
ing of the picture is perfect and aside
from its value as a curiosity it is a marine
view of real merit. The present owner,
an English gentlewoman, now living in
Chicago, can furnish satisfactory proof of
Its having been in her own family since
tho year 1897. Before leaving England
she frequently refused offers of large
sums for it, not foreseeing the misfor-
tunes which now compel her to part with

in Japan.

A lady writing from, Japan says:
Housekeeping here has no trials. The
worn and vexed spirits of the American
chatelaines ought to rest in Japan after
death. Capable and faithful servants are
plenty and cheap. Our establishment
boasts five, and for these we pay about
what two would cost in New York. I
do not visit my kitchen once a month,
never give al order outside of a spoken
wish, yet the domestic machinery moves
with an ease and perfection un%attainable
at HON by almost any effort on the part
OF h mistress. The manners of the
servants are amusing, not to say startling,
to an American accustomed to the cheer
full familiarity of her native help. Every
night at bedtime our five retainers an
pear, PROSTATE themselves in succession
to the earth, and retire. This is to wish
me good night and renew their testimony
of profound respect and pleasure over
the privilege of serving me. 1t was diff
ticult at first to preserve the necessary
dignity for the ceremony, but now I am
as majestically gracious as any other po-
tentate. The other day on one of my
rare visits to the kitchen, a hairpin be-
came loosened and dropped without my
notice. I had been seated in my own
room only a few moments when my
houseman entered, bearing small salver,
which he presented to me with many
genuiections. Fancy my surprise to see
9 little hairpin upon it, and to learn from
my proud but embarrassed servitor that
IT had fallen to the kitchen floor from my
head. Afterward l found there had been
a discussion as to who should pick it up,
and Utmost q quarrelA to whom belonged
the inestinable honor Of bearing it to its
owner.r
