A Days Journey for a Horse.

Nat. Live Stock journal.
A day'sjourney, according to Secre-
tary Russell's idea, should not exceed
twelve or thirteen miles. This is as
great distance, he thinks, as can be
economically allotted to a horse as a
days journey for every day in the
week. If he has longer journey he
must have day or two off each
week. This days work of a travel
ing horse is based on the experience
of stage and car companies. For the
stage, where most speed is required,
ten miles have been found the limit
of an economical days journey. But
a great deal depends on the speed.
Give the horse plenty of time, and he
can do a longer daily journey than he
can if he be urged beyond an easy
gait. In emergencies a good horse
can do fifty or sixty miles in a day.
Seventy-five and eighty miles have
been driven. But such long, fast
journeys are very trying to thehorse,
and he needs to be managed with
great care and judgement to prevent
harm from such violent exertion.
Such driving cannot be repeated
often with safety. The regular days
journey should be heightened or
shortened according to the condition
and character of the road and the
weight of the load. Then there is a
difference in individuals, and what
one horse does with ease may be very
hard on another. Feed and care are
also factors in the problem not to be
overlooked.

conscious of being ashamed of her
husband. Almost every one is ac-
quainted with such an one. After
once making the mistake, there is
nothing left for such women but to
make the most of what is left to
them; but they ought to be a terrible
warning to young girls who are in
danger of following in their foot
steps.
No, girls, if you can't marry a man
to whom you can look up with re-
spect and admiration, never marry
at all. Single blessedness is far pre-
ferable to double misery. Old maid
enhood is honorable, in this day,
especially if one has a worthy aim in
life-to help the fallen, suffering, or
unfortunate of the world, to care for
aged parents, or to educate younger
brothers and sisters, or even to pursue
worthy career of ones own for love
oft. In marriage of the highest
type, both husband and wife look up
to each other for different qualities.
This is bliss; the opposite is desola-
ton.

Unequally Yoked Together.

If there is any woman in the world
who deserves our pity, but who
would feel properly angry if it were
offered to her personally and con-
spicuously, it is the woman who is
welded to man whom she knows,
and everybody else knows, to be her
inferior. Perhaps she married in
early girlhood, before she found out
that judgement must lay the founda-
ton for true love; or perhaps she
remained single till well advanced in
life, and then tried to satisfy her
hungry heart on the mere husks of
welded happiness which she vainly
hoped might enfold the rich fruit; or,
possibly, she was a plain, homeless
girl who was advised to take up with
the first chance" to marry for fear
she would never have another one;
or, perchance, she was wearied in
youth by overheard toll, and thought
she would get somebody to "sup-
port" her, which usually turns out to
mean that she has to really labor to
support from two to half a dozen in
stead of one. Many woman is
laughedatfor wearing the breeches,"
when she has to, because the man in
the case won't.
Such woman is not only unhappy
and weighed down with double bur.
dens in the care of the family, but
whenever she ventures out among
people, she is still unable to enjoy
herself very much, because if she will
acknowledge it even to herself, she i,

The Everlasting Arms.

Christian at Work.
What are they? the arms of our
God. The world is a school ; here we
learn lessons for the world to come.
Sometimes the tasks are hard to do;
sometimes the eyes are so blinded
with bitter tears that we cannot see !;
sometimes the sky above us is so
overcast that all seems dark around
us; sometimes if the letters ona page
were not raised so that we could feel
the way we could not walk init; and
sometimes the letters seem to be so
trying, SO terribly trying, that in our
anguish we cry for mercy. But some
times all is bright above us, around
and in us; the sun shines, the flowers
bloom and the birds are singing so
sweetly that almost without bidding
our lips send forth glad psalms of
praise. But these are the everlasting
arms that never fail us in the sorest
time of our need. They are not only
above us and around us, but under
meath us. If they were only above
we might climb up to them, to raise
our weary arms to their grasp. If
they were only around us our tired
feet would not be helped as they need
be; but, thank God! they are also
underneath us, just as a mother
(whoselove is the highest human type
of that of our heavenly father folds
her arm underneath the baby % that
it may enjoy rest. Do you know the
feelingof theeverlasting arms? Have
you ever known the utter loss OF
WEAKNESS in resting upon them?
Have you had a burden SO heavy to
carry that you were glad to drop il
into those arms? Have you ever
been concious that they were so low.
ingly held above, around and under.
meath you? Have you ever trusted
those arms to carry you in sickness OF
in health, in sorrow or joy, for life OF

never fails, his arms are never short
ened, they are always stretching out
they are everlasting. And as hi
holds them out to you sweet voice
whispers in your ear, "Come! come
to mew "The eternal God is thy
refuge and underneath are the ever

Does Milk Come From Blood?

The U. S. Dairyman thinks it does.
Listen How is milk secreted? Is
it an excretion from consumed tissues
or is it elaborated from the blood !?
Experiments have shown that it can
not all be derived directly from the
food eaten by the COW, as the food
does not contain enough of the in
gradients required to make the milk
given. Where does the surplus come
from? Some of it must came from
the air breathed by the cow, and some
perhaps from the transmutation of
some ofthe ingredients of the food
that arenot suspected ingredients
necessary for the elaboration of milk.
Some may be drawn from the tissue
of the body, butwe suspect thatwhat-
ever the ingredients used in the
elaboration of milk, and from what
ever source they may be derived,
they are first taken into the blood
and thence converted into milk--in
brief, that milkispurified and chemi-
cally changed blood. We donotsup-
pose that the distended udder is filed
entirely with elaborated milk, but
that much of it is pure blood, ready
for elaboration as soon as the exciting
cause of milking or the sucking of the
calf is begun, just as the saliva of the
mouth is poured out by the stimulus
of the presence of the food.

PRUE.

My cousin Prue effects pale blue,
Her maiden aunts despise it;
She may suspect that they object
But does MT realize it.
Her face is farther figure spare
She glories in her slimness;
She's trim and neat-both pert sweet
And prides herself on primness.
She has adorers by the score
Like gnats they swarm about her;
The number swells of those she tells
They'll have to do without her.
For pretty Prue's not quick to choose,
Her favors are MT enduring;
She'll not be won till she is done
Tormenting and alluring.
She's in her teens, and never means
To marry-or she says so
It's like enough this may be bluff
Indeed I rather guess so.
For be it known that when alone
kindly catechise her
The conscious blush, the whispered
"hush!"
Betray how much it tries her.
Now slimneys, primneys, pertneys, all
Acidify with aging.
At twenty they begin to pale,
And cease to be engaging.
So though you fiirt, Prue, be alert
While youth and beauty last you;
Be expeditions, land your fish,
Before the chance glides past you!

SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTs.

Our dispatches this morning contain the
details of a horrible butchery OF infants,
one of whom was put to death by running
a darning needle through its heart, and all
OF whom were born in lying-in hospital
in Milwaukee. The heartless and brutal
woman who conducted the place, con-
fessed the crime and many other like
ones, and duplicates the mothers OF the
various children murdered, in the bloody
work, 1t is 4 chapter OF horrors, such as
would consign any book, written by Il
novelist, TO Coventry as Il limitless liar,
and yet is all too terribly true. What is
a spec in Milwaukee, is an enormous
business in the larger eastern cities,
where the law is unequal to the task of
Furnishing the offenders and where the
conditions for the successful hiding OF the
murderous work are all that can be de-
sired. Periodically case OF unusual
brutality comes to light in some one OF
these hell-holes and for time the author
tiles bestir themselves to seek ont the
criminal ones, but they are 50 handi-
capped by subomed perjury and lying
aiiicavits, that the task is always hope
less one, and in the end results in moth
ing OF benefit to the law or the people at
large. An attempt was made in some
eastern journals few years back, to
create a public opinion favoring the regis.

try under police supervision, of all births
and deaths among illegtimate children,
on the theory that the sure and certain
exposure which such course would
bring to the guilty parents, would tend to
check immortality, and it would certainly
check indescriminate slaughter of the in
nocents for blood money. 1t was taken
up by the religious press throughout the
country, and unequivocally condemned as
placing premium on immortality, though
how such conclusion was reached, the
secular press failed to see. The burden
OF the argument was, that il such places
were furnished. the vagrant class OF both
sexes would look upon them as a sure
means OF being rid OF their trouble, nor
place any care upon the exposure which
would follow their criminal acts. 1t was
then proposed to hold both parents of IL
legitimate offspring prisoners, or force
them to marry, and such view obtained
many adherents but it all passed ont OF
mind again, and has not been heard from
until this horrible exposure and confess
sion in Milwaukee brought it up again.
That illegitimate children will continue
to be born, no law can help, especially in
thickly populated districts, but that they
should be murdered in order to cover the
guilt OF parents, can be helped, and
should be by a rigorous law, which would
hold both as prisoners until married, or
punish both where the pledge OF shame
occurred between those who were false
to martial VOWS. Ii registry was or
dered by law, in all such lying-in places,
and kept open to the vigilant inspection
of the police authorities, such things as
child-murder and unfaithful husbands
and wives could not be with impunity,
and only by some such heroic method can
the practices be stopped. The Milwaukee
horror is likely to have its day, and
doubtless will entangle many other repu-
tations outside Of the woman who con-
fessed the murder, but unless some strn-
gent law is framed to meet this peculiar
method of murder OF the innocents, it
will continue, and be powerful means
OF melting criminal intimacy OF the sexes
and consequent murder, in all parts of
the land.

DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT.

The outlook for national prosperity was
never better than now, and but for the
fatal error hanging to the skirts Of the
Administration in the shape OF Il suicidal
silver policy, the affairs OF the nation
were neverin healthier condition. There
was a net increase OF cash in the year
ended June 80, 1885, OF $63, 1866 In
the year following $SS,901 ,S59 OF the
principal OF the public debt was paid, be-
sides $5, ,054, 729 added to the cash balance,
the total gain for 1856 being 500, ,95G,5SS.
The net increase in 1886 was 1886, ,439, ,727,
an increase over 1885 OF $12 2,S49,0 ,020. Ex-
penditure in 1886 was $245, ,4S3, 1873, which
was $l7, ,790, 1894 less than in 1885, despite
the fact that pensions cost $7,30S, ,596
more in the former than in the latter
year. The actual decrease OF expendi-
ture for the first full year OF Democratic
administration was therefore S25 ,093, 400.
Revenues increasing, expenditures de-
creasing, economy and honesty prevail
ing the debt being paid off and business
reviving; this is the answer the Admin
istration makes TO the petty attacks OF
the Republican newspapers. Under
the new regime, railroads and
steamships are finding their various
ways into hitherto unknown regions;
the wealth OF thousands OF min
eral deposits but wait the inevitable
change in the shadowed policy OF the
Treasury Department, to come forth and
enrich the land; the land itself is being
used to produce for the actual settler in
stead OF lying idle to enrich monopolists
and put disgrace on the Nation through
the cormorants who connived at its steal
ing; the atmosphere OF trade and bar
ter is clearer than ever known before, and
capital is seeking investment, fully con-
vinced that it never before had such
abundant and paying opportunities; and
last, but not least, the hordes OF cheats,
deceivers and robbers OF the public treas
ury, under the name OF Republicans, are
again attuning their blow-pipes to attack
the Administration, which latter fact is the
most reassuring feature in the political
horizon. The country has come honor
ably out OF all foreign entanglements,
and is now building navy to help to
keep out; or being in, to enable it to
make it to the cost OF the aggressor,
something it could not do under Repub-
lican rule. Thousands of settlers are
locating homes in the wilderness, conf
dent that they will not be despoled of
the labor Of their lives, and general
feeling OF peace with mankind prevails.
The visitations OF nature which have
wrecked the Atlantic seaboard, and other
causes OF suffering have been courageously
met and everything points 10 a successful
and prosperous fall season. Now let the
venomous quill OF the jaundiced stalwart
cover itself with the ink Of spleen, and do
its best endeavor to pull down this fair

CANNoN's CONFESSION.

full account OF the remarkable and
sensational scene at the Mormon Taber-
nacle yesterday, appears in the Demo-
cRAT's local columns. That the confession
OF Bishop John q. Cannon was inspired by
his knowledge that charges against him
would be preferred and proven, there is
not the shadow of doubt He simply
preferred turning States evidence upon
himself, to submitting TO a trial in which
the name or names OF other parties would
he discredtably involved with his own.
In this, he at least evinced the instincts
OF gentleman, and, in worldly sense,
q man OF honor Being a son OF Apostle
George q. Cannon, the real head OF the
Mormon Church, and himself Bishop
and in the line OF political advancement,
it is by no means probable that this
course would have been enforced upon
him, but for the fact ithat his delin-
quencies were more than suspected in
other than SANITY circles, rendering it
therefore absolutely necessary to notice
and take action upon what constitutes a
Mormon ofiensc, when committed without
the Endowment House preliminaries,
which sanctify such adulterous acts.
1t is quite certain that the denouement
was FASTENED by the editorial in Satur-
days DEMoCRNT metioning Cannon as
the probable church candidate for Dele
In t,x 10
programme short time ago, there is no
question, and that it would have been
carried out but for the notoriety OF the
facts embodied in yesterdays confession,
is equally certain. The moral of this
affair is easily drawn. Young Cannon
has been raised in the belief that man
owes no exclusive marital allegiance to the
woman whom the laws of God and civil
lzed man declare to be his only legal
wife. That he should have regarded as
hut at worst venial sin, such
indulgences as he was taught to re-
gard as holy when prefaced by the
mummeries and facial ceremonies of the
Endowment House, is by no means
strange, and that he should have given
loose rein to such passions as his creed
instructed him could be so easily unbri-
died and sanctified by ecclesiastical au-
thority, was directly in the line OF
probable events. He is no better or
worse in that respect than those
who sat in judgment upon him.
He was simply "cut off, from an
institution against which non-inter-
course has, since its foundation, been
declared by all Christian denominations
and by all moral societies and associa-
tions, religious and secular, OF course
this expose will necessitate the changing
OF the Mormon programme in regard to
Delegate to Congress. Whether Apostle
Cannon will continue Elder Caine in that
position or select some other OF his own
kinsmen, the DEMOCRAT has no present
information upon which TO base an
opinion.
