THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The great slogan of the Republicans
during the last Presidential campaign
was that the country would be showed
under in business matters if the Demo-
Gratis gained power, and as the Democrats
now have power, and as the country is not
showed under, We give place to the fol-
lowing from the Philadelphia Times,
whose editor has lost no love for Cleve-
land, and who is inclined to toady to
Republicans: "The autumn opens with
the best business outlook for several
years. The crops, as a whole, are better
than last year, and what is more to the
purpose, the crops across the water are
below the average, thus giving promise
OF brisk demand for the American sur
plus, which must necessarily be large.

A RALLYING POINT.

The greatest error committed by the
Gentiles of Utah in the past, has been
the neglect to so order their forces and
husband their resources at the Capital,
as to be able to strike effective blows at
the clever and deep laid plots of the
Church lobby. The Church lobby has
always been thoroughly equipped and al
ways on the ground with the means to
accomplish their desires, while the Gen
tile interests have been neglected or left
in the hands of one or two patriotic men.
who have given gratis, their time and
services to the cause of delivering the
loyal people of this Territory out of the
hands OF Mormon rule. The DEMOCRAT
learns with pleasure, that a powerful
movement is now on foot, to organize
and thoroughly equip a deputation of
able lawyers, who are citizens of the Ter
ritory, and keep them in the field well
supported financially and morally, in or
der that they may meet and overcome
the desperate efforts of the Church lobby,
to hinder or stop work on the passage of
the Edmunds-Tucker bill at the coming
session of Congress. There is and there
should be, no secret about the matter,
as every loyal man in the Territory is
deeply interested in the successful pas
sage OF the bill, and all alike should be
united and given an opportunity 10 con-

dition especially worthy of note is that
the grade of goods demanded by South
ern and Western consumers is noticeably
higher than formerly. They want better
clothing, better furniture, choicer crock
eryware and boots and shoes of finer
quality than ever before. This indicates
both the ability to pay for better goods
and an improving taste in their selection
Manufacturers should not fail to take
note OF this demand for the best the
country affords, and direct their atten-
ton to the production Of the class OF
goods which is certain to be in demand
in the future"

tribute toward this worthy end. Leading
Gentiles, regardless of political standing,
are now moving in the matter, and it IS
hoped that their efforts will meet with
the encouragement and success they de-
serve. The laws delays are sorely trying
at times, but as it is only through and
by the law, that the loyal people OF Utah
can hope for deliverance, it is meet and
proper that the loyal people put forth the
requisite efforts to move the machinery
of the law, and the formation of this or
ganization makes rallying point for
such efforts. Had such a move been
made years ago, it would not now be
necessary to indulge in vain regrets at
the tardy action of Congress.

How Hay Generally DeteriOrates After
the First Year.

1t has generally been considered, and es-
pecially so among stablemen, that good hay
lost nothing by being kept for considerable
length of time. In fact, difference in price
of one years keeping and new hay is made
in favor of the former of from three to five
dollars. But the Scottish Agricultural Ga
zette says that after the second year hay of
any kind declines in value. AT the London
Farmers club, Mr.. Woodward said 81 have
never yet heard practical man say that old
hay, to his knowledge and belief, deteriorated
in value after the third, fifth and seventh
year; but my eyes were opened upon that
point during the last autumn. l went to
the Midland railway stores, where they cut
chaff every week for five hundred horses.
Isaw the manager and he Immediately said !:
If it is old we can't look at it; we do not
care to buy it after the second year."
This suggests the necessity of so disposing
of the hay crop in the barn that the surplus
may either be sold or fed out the second year.
1t is no uncommon thing for farmers to
speak of stored hay that is four, five and six
years old, in the belief that it is fully as good
or better than when it was first cut, which,
from the above authority, would seem to be
erroneous And still farmers will hardly
think of giving up holding little surplus for
emergencies

Changed His Mind.

One of the "boys" now hanging out in
Detroit was nabbed in Pennsylvania a few
months ago for some swindling game, and
was locked up in county Jail pending ex-
animation. He was the only prisoner in the
building, and he hadn't been in there fifteen
minutes before he felt that an hours work
would let him out. 1t was tumble-down
affair, built half century ago, and the turn
key was young Quaker. AS he received his
prisoner, he said:
81 think shall place thee on thy honor
not to escape"
GAIL right" replied the prisoner 81 want
to stay right here and see this case through"
He had the run of the corridor and an
open cell, and about two hours after supper
he had no trouble wrenching couple of
bars off the corridor window. Waiting for
the Jail to get quiet he lifted the sash and
climbed out on the sill for drop to the
ground, but at that instant he heard a voice
from beneath him, saying:
"On second thought concluded that thy
honor might not be as safe as my vigilance.
Get thee back, or l will blow thy head off,"
The prisoner not only "got thee" but the
old crib held him safely until he was taken
into court.

Common Sense and Common Sleep

Excitement, worry and anxiety, which
have their seat in the brain, interfere with
the functions of the stomach, and in like
manner anything that unduly taxes the
power of or irritates the stomach disorders
the calculations and nutrition of the brain.
The sleeplessness often complained of by
equity persons is due to the poisonous effect
of the morbid material upon the nervous
system. Excessive smoking, too much al
cohol, tea and coffee, often resorted to by
overworked persons, are frequent causes of
sleepessness. In all these cases the cause is
removable, while the effects may be counter
acted by appropriate treatment. Nothing
is more mischievous, however, than to con-
tinue the habits and to have recourse to drugs
to combat the effects. A due amount of ex
ercise tends to induce normal sleep, and such
exercise need not be of violent character.
A walk oftwo or three miles daily is suffi-
cient and is, perhaps, as much as busy man
can find time for. A ride on horseback, the
Palmerston cure for govt, is probably the
best form of exercise for those whose minds
are constantly at work. 1t has been well
said that man must come out of himself
when in the saddle he is forced to attend to
his horse and to notice the objects he meets.
Walking may be a merely automatic process,
and carriage exercise may be practically
valueless if the mind is not diverted from
what had previously occupied it.

TWO.


Two lovers by a moss-grown spring;
They leaned soft cheeks together there,
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wooing thrushes sing.
o budding time!
o loves best prime!
Two welded from the portal step;
The bells made happy carollings,
The air was soft as tanning wings,
White petals on the pathway slept.
o pure-eyed bride;
o tender pridel
Two faces DER a cradle bent:
Two hands above the head were locked;
They pressed each other while they rocked
Those watched life that love had sent

o hidden power!
Two parents by the evening fire.
The red light fell about their knees
On heads that rose by slow degrees
Like buds upon the lily spire.
0 patient lifel

The two sat still together there,
The red light shone about their knees;
But all the heads by slow degrees
Had gone and left that lonely pair

And made the space between them wide

verdict will be for the plaintiff, but if on the
other hand you believe what the defendants

To KEEP A TRANsPLANTED TREE ALIVE.
Some one suggests that trees after trans
planting may be kept alive by burying row
of flower pots, filled with water, around the
body and over the roots of the tree. The
moisture which will percolate through the
bottom and sides of the pots will be so gra-
dual that two gallon ones will held enough
SO as not to require refilling for some time,
and the roots will be kept moist till such
time as they begin to sprout afresh-Sctentfc

Making Girls Straight.

The Hindoo girls are gracefully and ex-
quisitey formed. From their earliest child
hood they are accustomed to carry burdens
on their heads. The water for family use is
always brought by this way. The exercise
is said to strengthen the muscles Of the back,
while the chest is thrown forward. No
crooked backs are seen in Hindoostan DR..
H. Spray says this exercise of carrying small
vessels of water on the head might be advan-
tageously introduced into boarding schools
and private families, and that it might en-
tirely supersede the present machinery of
dumb-bells, black-boards, skipping.ropes, etc.
The young ladies ought to be taught to carry
the jar as the Hindoo women do, without
ever touching it with their hands. The same
practice of carrying water leads precisely to
the same results in the South of Italy as in
India A Neapoltan female peasant will
carry on her head a vessel full of water to
the brim over a rough road and not spill a
drop of it, and the acquisition of this art OF
knack gives her the same elastic gait.

Sensible.

| A young man or woman is unfortunate
who possesses an ambition greatly beyond
his or her power of achievement To aim
high is commendable, but for person with
meagre endowments to aim too high means
disappointment, and perhaps disaster. 1t
is of almost incalculable importance that a
young man should know by such tests as,
with good sense, he can make, just what his
limitations are. The following brief person
al history shows how young fellow showed
his good judgment and common-sense.
Early in life he showed fondness for
painting, and was always "daubing around"
with his brush and colors, as his mother eX-
| pressed it. Later he produced several So
called Landscapes" and flower pieces, to-
gether with some stiff and putfy-looking
horses and COWS of unequal proportions and
unnatural appearance generally.
| The praise bestowed on these efforts by his
neghbors in the rural community in which
he lived gave the youth an exaggerated opin-
ion of his talents, and he felt sure that he
would ultimately become a great artist-a
Landseer or Titan. His mother also be-
gan to speak of him as an artist, and to praise
him to all her friends and acquaintance.
Time and money were given to study in
one of the art schools, and ten years passed
after he left the school, and the world had
the determination to command its admira-
ton. One day, gentleman who had known
him in his youth CHANGED to be in the neigh
borhood, and called at the artists home.
81 am anxious to know how you are sue
ceeding in your art" he said to the man of
thirty who met him at the door.
ooh, quite well, quite WELL" was the CHEEKY
reply. There's a job I've just finished, that
I'll put against any other of its kind in the
country. am sure it is well DONE"
No studio, or canvass, or panel was visible,
but in paint-shop at the side of the house
stood a large express wagon, very neat and
slightly in its coloring of green and red and
yellow.
THAT'S my own work." said the artist,
smiling, 81 can paint wagons and buggies
with any man in this country"
And so he could. In that he had attained
perfection. Not word of useless regret did
he express for his failure in the higher work
that his boyish ambition had led him to be-
lieve he could do. He had discovered what
his limitations were, and had wisely and
bravely put aside all hope of going beyond
them. A man should do his best, and not
underrate what he can do, but it should be
| the best within his limitations.
