There is big difference in the way
people eat sweet corn, and it IS probably
the most awkward eatable that the mod
ern epicure has to wrestle with. Some
will take knife, shave off III e kernels
on plate. and season the mess to suit
the taste. Then again, others will order
the waiter to do it. tor them, while some
will not touch it at all. thinking that to =
eat corn will make them appear vulgar.
However, there is only one way to eat
corn and thoroughly enjoy it. Firstly
want to tuck the end of large napkin
behind your collar, in such way that
the border will catch on your Adams
apple and stay in place. Then take the
ear of corn by the handle, in one hand
and butter it thoroughly. If the corn is
piping hot, he sure to let it rest on the
table cloth so that the melted butter will
run down and so il the same. Half the
pleasure Will be lost if you can't get at
least pint of hot butter on the cloth.
When the corn is thoroughly saturated
with butter, lift your moustache trifle-
if you have one-grab the corn in both
hands as though you were afraid it
would escape, and 60 through the same
motions that you would if you were play
ing on barmonica. Let your teeth
glide gracefully up and down the cob
till all the corn is gone, then look at the
rlate in the center of the table and if any
corn remains nh it ask for more. If you
follow these directions carefully, there is
no reason for your not enjoying your
corn to the fullest extent You may &C.
'cdentally knock out front tooth on the
cob, or dislocate jaw, but in case of
this kind everything goes-PGck's Sun

A DELIGHTFUL HOP.
The Pleasant Time Enjoyed AT the
Eagle Gate Hall Last
Evening.

a small party OF semi-society people
assembled last evening at the Eagle Gate
Hall and succeeded in making few
hours pass by in the most enjoyable
manner. A programme OF twenty
dances, nicely arranged with respect to
variety was gone through with before
midnight and gave great amount OF
pleasure to the dancers without becom-
ing tiresome. This little hall will al
ways be popular with people who enjoy
dancing in quiet way, and its excellen.
cies were never better appreciated than
were last evening. Professor Olsen with
his musicians furnished the latest dance
measures and carried off his share OF the
honors OF success. The monotony of
the intermission was relieved by light
refreshments. All together the hop was
d very pleasant one and was one of those
affairs which will bear frequent repet-

BEFORE JUDGE M'KAY.
The Preliminary Examination OF Angus
Cannon Postponed Until Monday
Morning.
Mr.. DlcksOn's Absence is the Reason
for the Delay-Mr. Yarlan Was
Otherwise Engaged.
Old Dan Corbett Brought In by Captain
Greenman and Bound Over in
Few Minutes.

This morning being the time set for the
preliminary OF Angus NJ. Cannon, the
defendant appeared with his counsel at
Judge McKay's office. The number OF
witnesses has somewhat increased since
they last assembled, and it will now
reach thirty.
The continuance was made at the sug-
gestion OF Judge Mckay and with the con-
currence OF Mr.. Richards on account OF
the absence of Mr.. Dickson. The Judge
stated that he had telegram from
the prosecutor stating that he would be
in on the morning train, and he there
fore suggested that the case 90 over until
2 o'clock. Owing to the fact that Mr.
Narian was busy with another case in
court the Judge said that if the case were
gone on with he would have to question
the witnesses himself, and the process
would be very tedious one.
Mr.. Rich ards said that he would be
busy at O'Clock and said that if the case
had to go over he would prefer to have it
fixed for Monday.
The Judge agreed to this and he stated
that the examination would come up
Monday in Court Chambers.
THE CoRBETT CASE.
Daniel Corbett, an eighty-year old
resident OF the Second ward, was arrested
this morning by Captain Greenman, and
was in attendance at the Commissioners
office at noon as the Cannon case was
disposed OF. The complaint charges him
with unlawful cohabtation with Ann
Corbett and Maria Swanberg. He en-
tered a plea OF not guilty with the ex-
PLANTATION that his first wife had been
cripple for q great number OF years and
that he could not live with her
Maria Swanberg, the second wife, was
called as witness and said: The de-
PENDANT is my husband; | have been
married to him twenty-one years last
month; have had two children by him,
the youngest is eighteen years old he
was married man when married him !;
his first wife is still living; her name is
Ann Corbett; she is a cripple and cannot
go out; she lives in the Second Ward
Q,-Where do you live?
Al live there, too, in the same
house; 'fader only hal Won house," |
was widow when came here and mar
ried him. Excused
This evidence was so convincing that
the Judge felt obliged to hold the de-
PENDANT, and in view OF the circumstances
he fixed his bail at $500.

The First Keen TMinge.

As the season advances, the pains and
aches by which rheumatism makes itself
known, are experienced after every ex-
posture. 1t is not claimed that Hoods
Sarsaparilla is a specific for rheumatism
we doubt if there is, or can be, such a
remedy. But the thousands benefited by
Hoods Sarsaparilla warrant us in urging
others who suffer from rheumatism to
take it before the first keen twinge.

WILL THE YOUTH GIVE IN.


The struggle OF the Mormon Church
leaders to bring the young people of the
faith into complete surveillance has
never before been so aggressive as it is
at present. Special schools for the in
struction OF the youth OF Zion are being
organized all over the Territory, aud
every other possible means is being takeh
to grind the young people under and get
them in position where they cannot re-
tract, so that it will be only a matter OF
q few months now when every boy and
girl OF Mormon parentage in the Terri
tory will have to choose between bigotry
and slavery on the one hand and free
conscientousness on the other.
While the grind seems to be a general
one, the objective point for the present is
the breaking up of
ROUND DANCING,
Which is receiving shots from all quar-
ters. For weeks past the elders have
been crying down the wicked waltz, and
now many OF the Mormon girls and not
quite so many OF the Mormon boys have
renowned the practice.
A month or more ago several young
Mormons were induced to make public
remuneration OF the practice in the
Twelfth ward meeting house, and almost
before the sound OF his voice had died
away, one OF these striplings was seen at
party literally revealing in round dances
and skipping the quadrilles in order to
gain breath ior the following waltz. Of
course he was only human talking ma
chine at the time he ground ont the ser
mon, but it would have been better form
to have come out with his own thoughts
on the subject or else to have stood by
what he said.
THE LATEST SENSATION
Is an order coming either from the head
OF the church or from the Bishop OF one
of the wards, which demands public
apology from certain young people under
penalty OF being severed from the church.
II seems that during the early winter n
certain club held series OF parties in the
Eighteenth ward school house, and on
these occasions there was q fair sprink-
ling OF 'the may" in the programme.
Some one in authority has now made a
simple proposition to the offenders, the
amount Of which is that they must choose
between two things-elther stand up in
the meeting houses in their respective
wards and ask 10 be forgiven for their sin,
or else they will be communicated.
Just how the offenders are likely to act
when the time comes for trial cannot be
said but ii is feared from the many pre-
cedents before them they will choose the
former alternative.
Ii any OF these would reflect moment,
however, it seems likely that they might
conclude TO be manly enough to refuse.
Ii he makes the apology he binds himself
forever to the faith, while by holding off
he will give himself a chance TO think.
1t is not likely that the leaders will carry
out the threat, but ii they should, and
the offender is condemned to lIades, he
will have the consolation OF knowing that,
so long az round dancing is the only blur
upon his character he will be too good
for Satan's ranch, and when driven ont OF
there, he'll have to 90 to heaven as the
only alternative.

A Mothers Prayers.

A gentleman said he had great faith
in a mothers prayers. He believed a
mother would pray as no one else, and
prevail with God. He spoke of sol.
der who went to the war against his
mothers will, but was converted in
answer to his mothers prayers. 1t was
on this wise: One day before he left
home, while he was finishing up his
preparations to go, he went to his
mothers room, and there he found her,
with her four little children around her,
all kneeling with her, and all engaged
in prayer for him. His poor mother
feared he was not prepared for death,
and hence her unwillingness to have
him go from home. But he went. And
her prayers went with him, so that in
camp, in the battlefield, on the march
everywhere he went, he could see that
mother and her four little children on
their knees in prayer for John, the son
and brother. So his mind was haunted
with the spectacle till he at length sub
mitted to the calls of this blessed gospel.
" | am that son and brother John for
whom that little band on their knees
prayed. Do you suppose any of you
can tell how precious that dear mother
and those brothers and sisters are to
me to-day?"-EGchange

Unanswered Prayers.

God is too kind to answer all our
prayers. Thanks to his love, we ask in
vain if we ask amiss. There is COM
fort in this thought. Who of us but
might otherwise ruin our dearest ones
by asking for them that which would be
ruin for them? The mother of Zebe-
dee's children is lovingly but unwisely
ambitious for her children; it is well for
her that the Savior loves both them and
her too much to give heed to her fond
petition. AT the coming college and
school commencement season many
young people will be starting out on their
life careers, followed and attended by
the loving prayers of godly parents
and friends. Is it not divinely blessed

sought at the present time is to furnish
an opportunity for the proper training of
little girl afflicted in the manner above
described, but whose youth, health and
great activity of body and mind give
reasonable promise that if she is blessed
with the opportunities of expert in
struction, now beyond ner reach, she
may develop into second Laura Bridg-
man. Edith M. Thomas of Maplewood,
daughter of Fred" M. Thomas, has
recently passed her seventh birthday.
When four years of age she became a
victim of malignant attack of diph-
iberia, probably aggravated by scarlet
fever. She was sick for more than six
months, and as she began to gain
strength she rapidly lost both sight and
hearing, and in a few month became
deaf and entirely bereft of sight. For
some time she retained her speech, but
being unable to hear sounds of any
kind, or to gain help by watching the
lips of others, her speech soon became
a series of half articulate muttering,
and now she is rarely ineligible. In
the meantime, however, she has devel-
oped into strong, healthy, rosy
checked girl, full of romp and frolic
| anu huPpihOoo, anu ldob lOS-
ing recollections of those other days"
previous to her sickness, to which she
would sometimes allude before her
speech wholly failed. With her hands
she is remarkably dextrous, and while
unable to receive impressions from
others, she is a true child of nature,
comes and goes as she lists. She dresses
and feeds herself, accomplishes some
rude feats at needlework, runs up and
down stairs and about the garden as if
in full possession of her sight, and even
contrives to make herself useful in the
household. Endowed with generous
proportion of feminine pride in fine at
tire, this blind girl, when once she has
been arrayed in new dress, will by no
means consent to return, even tempo
rarily, to the old one. She is a source
of constant study and enjoyment to
all who know her, and the brightest
hopes are entertained that with her pa
tient, joyous disposition and mental and
physical activity she will develop won
derful possibilities, if she can be blessed
with those opportunities for the provid-
ing of which the states solons are soon
to be approached. The census of 1885
reports only three cases in the COM
monwealth of blind deaf mutes. Of
these one is idiotic. Nothing is known
of the second and the third is Laura
Bridgman.

Tricks of Vision.

Mons. Emil Sorel, in La Nature,
says: "There are days on which, in GER
tain weather, and despite the curvature
of the earth, the distance of visibility is
doubled or more than doubled. This
phenomenon is explained to us by a
well-known law of physics. If we
throw coin into an empty vessel it
will be hidden by the edge of the latter,
at certain distance; but if we fill the
vessel with water the coin will become
visible. We have here a case of re-
fraction, such as is explained in elemen-
tary works on physics. Every one also
knows the theory of the mirage put
forth by the celebrated Monge, who ex-
plains the phenomenon as due to dim
mutton of the airs density in contact
with the superheated earth. A con-
trary theory will explain the mirage at
sea. While the sun is making the at
mosphere intensely hot, the sea and the
strata of air in contact Herewith re-
main relatively cold, and these strata
become superposed in the order of their
density. A luminous ray emanating
from the sea will pass from one stratum
into another of less density, there will
be refraction, and an object beneath
the horizon will be seen above it. This
theory supposes two conditions, to wit:
a heating of the atmosphere, while the
sea and earth remain relatively cold,
and a calmness of it to permit its strata
to become superposed in the order of
their density. 1t is precisely when
these two conditions are fulfilled that
the phenomenon of the mirage occurs.
On such days ships rise instead of de-
scending in measure as they recede.
AS the horizon is perceived by direct
visibility, a ship is finally seen above
the horizon, as if it were suspended in
the air. 1t is the famous phantom
ship familiar to sailors-a visible ship
in its natural, upright position. If at
mospheric conditions were favorable,
second ship would be seen above the
first, etc. Certain mariners worthy of
credence have told me they have seen
as many as seven superposed ships"
