Mineral Deposits in Utah.

Beds of iron ore of enormous thick ness and length are found in the soutn- western part of Utah Territory. The croppings are so bold and black that they may be seen for miles. The ores consist of both magnetic and hematite. The magnetic is often crystalline, and exhibits broad surfaces covered with octahedral crystals. Lodestone is found having an unusual degree of strength. capable of sustaining great numbers of large nails, and almost half its weight of fragments. The locality is about sixty miles south of the terminus of the railway, and very little has been done to develop it. Coal of an inferior quality is abundant near Cedar City, about twelve miles from the ores.-N '. IS- tleDenOe1st.

 Fanny Field says in the Prairie Farmer: Never put lard and sulphur, or any mixture of grease and sulphur, on your turkeys and chickens, or the young of any animal. It is sure death.
 Because you have but short dis tance to go is no reason why you should drive faster or put on heavier load than usual. To go two or three miles at too rapid rate is much harder upon horse than it would be to go five times as far if it was properly driven. r. Tele- gram.
 To give. a horse medicine, take a long-necked bottle, raise the horses head, thrust the bottle into his mouth, and while the liquid is running into the throat rub the nose of the bottle vigor- ously against the roof of the mouth, pretty well back. This done most horses will swallow nicely.-Montreal Witness.
 Good Whitewash: Lime slacked with a solution of salt in water, and then properly thlnned with skinned milk from which all the cream has been taken, makes permanent whitewash for outdoor work, and, it is said, ren- ders the wood incombustible.

 Speaking of the cultivation of wild fruits which may be done advantage ously on small areas of land, Massa- chusetts writer says: While beets, tur- hips, potatoes and cabbages can be bought in good condition, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, huckleberries and other small fruits can only be had in full perfection by growing them in the garden. Such being the fact, if our garden is not large enough to produce all these fruits and vegetables, let us buy the former, that we make room in the garden for the latter. ."-N. Y. Her. qld
 How to make a cheap and simple gate in a wire-fence is thus described in the Germantown Telegraph: "The fence is made as if no gate were thought of, and then the wires are all tightly stapled to the gate posts. After this a light post is placed close to one of the gate posts, and to thls every wire is stapled, after which they are clipped between it and the gate-post, and the gate is then ready to swing, the wires being hinges themselves. Only fast ening IS required to keep the loose post in place, and gate is ready for use that will answer very well where it is only occasionally used"

The Old Mans Ultimatum.

"Fapa," said sweet Lydia Hooper, ''my teacher says I must take up the study of etymology this term.''
 "Ya-as," snarled old Hooper, q knowed it would be some new nonsense every term. Etymology, eh?

 For all practical purposes the we'll known rule multiply the square of the diameter by O.7854' is sufficient, seeing that the error in the result thus obtained amounts to an excess of less than one ten-thousandth; by increasing the place of decimals to, say nine and multiplying by 0. .785398163, the error is not quite one four-billionth. Every addi tional decimal place divides this fraction still further in like manner, and as the num- Der of such decimal places has been worked out to COY. the smallness of the error, though expressible in figures, is utterly inconceivable, still such error exists. Suppose the distance between two points to be ten feet Cor any other distance), and we divide that distance , by ten, then that one-tenth of foot by ten again, then that one-hundredth by ten again and so on COY times, the mag nitude of this final quotient will corre- spond to that of the error above named. It is obvious that we may go on dividing any number of times without annihilat- ing the final tenth absolutely.-Gentle- mgR's AaQGzine,

Beauty and Marriage.

He who marries beauty-unattended, even though it is-through pure love, marries not more wisely than he who marries through motives mercenary. The last gets at least something of real substance, while the first closes with an ignis-fatuus which soon vanishes, and yet, unlike its prototype, leaves train of evils in its wake. Irepeat, beauty is ev CT selfish, vain, cold and exacting, hard to win, and when won, owing to its estimation of self, hard to satisfy and keep. The beautiful forever look back upon their past triumphs, forever puff up their souls on past flattery; and ever consider their fortune beneath their desert Especially should the poor-re- gardless of sex-be warned against mar rying beauty. Wealth may with more impunity wed beauty, inasmuch as it can sometimes satisfy its demands; the poor may as we'll commit suicide at once.- Rev. F. F VqlettG m St. Louis MaQG zt3le

PREVENTION VS.. INSURANCE.

Another large fire in San Francisco has
caused very heavy loss, not only to the
insurance companies, but to the owners of
property also, for no total loss was fully
covered This recalls the suggestion of
Edward Atkinson, the statistician and dis
tinguished political economist, whorecently
gave to the public paper on fire proven
ton. lie holds, in view of the many con-
flagrations in the past few months, and the
heavy losses that resulted, that prevention
rather than heavy insurance is the true
remedy. Half the amount now expended
for insurance would give us such prevent
i've guards in the great cities that an ex-
tensive fire would be almost impossible.
OF course these appliances, watches and
guards must be supplemented by laws reg
ulating the proper construction of elevators,
Prevails, roofs, ventilators and the storage
of extra hazardous goods. There is practi-
cal concurrence among builders and Fire
Marshals that the liability of property to
destruction byfre can bereduced to a very
low risk by proper precautions, and that
the cost to the communities where applied
will not equal half the amount now ex-
pended for insurance, while the steps for
prevention thus taken would reduce the
insurance charges on the remaining half
to figure very far below existing rates.

HOLSTERS and Salmon.

Deputy United States Fish Commissioner
for California, ]. D. ReddiDg, has been in
formed by Professor Baird that his expert
ments with Holsters, to determine the con-
ditions under which they can be securely
shipped overland, have been successful,
and that in about month he will ship to
California about 100 full-grown Holsters,
mostly female with young attached, and
in an advanced stage of development. The
car will also contain several other varieties
of fish.
The Examiner says that Mr.. Trybom, the
Fish Commissioner of Sweden, has visited
Mr.. Redding and informed him that the
small number of salmon in the rivers is
probably not due to the debris, dirty water
or seals, but to the same cause by which
Swedish salmon leave the streams for years
at time, returning in as great an abund-
ance as ever. The real causes of this is
unknown, but It'll supposed the fish go out
to sea and shoal until it is necessary for
them to return. Mr.. Trybom says that
there need be no fear of permanent ex-
haustion OF the salmon supply.
