MORMON MISSIONARY WORK.

MOhMON MISSIONARY WORK. f
 Among the most effective fighters against Mormonism are the schools of the New West education commission. This commission has been five years in the field. It has sixty-two teachers who teach nearly three thousand pupils. The schools are for the most part in Mormon villages and they win the favor of the Mormon parents by their excellence. The teachers have left good positions in the East, where they have learned the best methods of teaching, and their schools are very much superior to the Mormon schools. Most of them conduct Sunday schools and also reli- gious services for adults. The attendance on these Sunday schools is something more than two thousand. All the efforts of the Mor mon priesthood to defeat this good work have been unsuccessful.
 But while this missionary work is being done in Utah the Mormon missionaries are not idle. They have missionaries in almost every civilized country in the world. It is asserted that in this country they have an average of two in every State. They have lately been very active and successful in the South. It might be expected that they would make some converts in that region, but it is a little surprising to read what the Springfield Union says about their work and success in Massachusetts. There is, says the Union, Mormon church in Fall River, an- other at New Bedford, one at Boston and several others in Massachusetts. Not long ago a Mormon elder spent summer in city near Boston with his relatives, engaged all the time in visiting Mormon churches at the East and making converts. He was not known as Mormon by the neighbors of the family with which he was staying, but being a man of intelligence and address he found many opportunities to proselyte to his church. Within year clergyman, well known in Massachusetts, was waited on by Mormon elder, who represented to him how unfairly the Mormons were dealt with and requested him to try and see that no repre- sentations were made in his pulpit unfavora- ble to them. Another fact shows the meth ods of Mormon missions in New England. There was recently at the Parker House in Boston Mormon lady, one of the wives of a whose husband is now in Europe to escape arrest under the Edmunds law. This lady is intelligent and attractive and passes for person of culture in any circle in Boston She has an abundant supply of money and is giving her time and influence to making converts for the Mormon church.
 If the Mormon missionaries are thus work ing in Massachusetts it would not be strange if some could be found in this State. But all their missionaries will not save polygamy in Utah. It must go.

The Varieties of Steel.
II. H. L. in Hartford Times.l

lJ. H. h. III darUIOru 1llHoSl
 The science and practice of mechanics is very defective in definite and determinate terms Not only do the names of the same articles and the descriptions of the same methods vary in different localities, but the same word is used to denote very dissimilar things, so that no definite idea is conveyed by the term standing by itself, and it's true meaning depends on it's relation to other terms employed in juxtaposition with it. Take, as an instance, the commonly used word, ''steel"; it is applied to the metal from which razors, pocket cutlery, mechanical cut ting tools of all descriptions, and similar i'm plements are made. It is also applied to the material of railroad rails, to that from which ship plates are made, to the substance of shafts, piston rods, and other shop work and even to heavy castings. It is obvious that cutlery steel is not adapted to railway and shipbuilding purposes, yet in common par lance we have but one word to designate materials that differ as much as possible where the basic substance is similar.
 Crucible cast steel, such as is used for cut leTy and similar purposes, is made from bars of wrought iron. The sort of iron generally used Is SWedlsh 1Ion that IS speclaHy adapted to the production of fine steel; that is known az "Danemora" from it's place of manufac- ture being preferred. Flat bars, three inches wide by Gve-eighths or three-quarters of an inch thick, are generally employed, although other sizes may be used. These bars are packed, side by side, in ovens, each bar en- veloped and separated from the others by powdered charcoal, and the ovens are heated by furnace fires of anthracite coal which are kept burning day and night for from nine to fourteen days. In some establish ments the fires are made from bituminous coal, but coal free from sulphur is consider ed better. A place is left in the walls of the oven from which the bricks can be removed so that "test bar" may be withdrawn and examined from time to time, to see how far the concentration has progressed. The effect of this roasting is to soak the carbon from the charcoal into the iron, increasing the per

forced at a moderate pressure into the cylin- der causes the creosote to mount in the inner tube, which dips into the liquid. A portion of the air finds it's way to the burner through the annular space between the two tubes, and when lighted match is applied to the burner flame is produced of such size and brilliancy that it is said to be useful over circle 300 to 400 yards across. The propor tions of air and creosote employed are four and one respectively.
 The principle of boycotting is illustrated in the case of the Troy Daily Standard. That journal was established by union workmen and is staunch labor organ. Recently it printed the advertisement of merchant who sells stoves manufactured by firm in Troy which the Knights of Labor boycotted. The Knights ordered the managers of the Stand ard to cease printing the advertisement. The managers refused to do So, and were unan- imously sustained by the Typographical union.5 The Knights nave issued a circular boycotting the Standard, and threatening to boycott every advertiser in it's columns. Thus the party of labor in Troy seems to be in imminent danger of splitting into two rival functions, bound to make fierce war on each other.
 Senator Edmunds will probably be re- elected, but it now looks as if he would have more trouble than he has usually had in holding on to his seat. Hiram Atkins has delivered the following to a Washington reporter: do not think that Senator Ed munds will get one vote in four of the Re publicans in our legislature. I have come to this conclusion within a week from reports which have reached me from all over the State from Republican sources. The Blaine Republicans irf Vermont are organizing against his re- election The fight will be Ed munds and anti -Edmunds, and it will be say age. do not say that Governor Smith will be the candidate against him. All the latter's friends say that he is not 8 can didate. But it is determined to make the fight against Edmunds. Some of the leading Republi- cans in the State have declared against him. Franklin, Windham and Ga ledonia counties the only ones in which he is sure of ma jority. Some of the counties will hardly re- turn an Edmunds man to the legislature. The Democrats will vote for their own candi- date, but the towns where they are in hope less minority the Democrats will very likely take sides where the contest is between an Edmunds and an anti-Edmunds candidate for the legislature

 Lawyers come high, but the people who build railroads must have them. A curious fact developed in Broadway railroad in vestigation is that Illegal advice'' cost the company $349, 1000, against $160,0 expend- ed in buildingIthe road.
 A bill has passed the Massachusetts House of Representatives which prohibits the sale of tobacco and cigarattes to boys under 16, and provides penalty for boys under that age who smoke. This is an absurd bill and if it becomes law can never be enforced.
 Tobogganing has long been known to be a very healthy exercise, but it has not figured as cure for deafness. Charles A. Moulton, of Stanstead, Canada, ayers that by heap of snow and dirt he was suddenly cured of deafness of eleven years standing. The remedy is dangerous one.
 The nailmakers of western Pennsylvania and the adjoining States have maintained strike for more than eight months, during which time more than ten thousand men have been idle and many of them destitute. They are now effecting compromise with the employers, on terms which with little calmness could have been made eight months ago.
 The Virginia legislature seems united in favor of enforcing the Riddleberger plan of debt settlement as already incorporated in law. The Massey bill just presented pro- poses for board of three commissioners, who are to be empowered to confer with bondholders, and also to effect settlement with West Virginia. The holders of West Virginia certificates are to bind themselves to accept whatever may be recovered from West Virginia, release Virginia from all obli gation in the premises, and also to defray the expenses of the commission. Such commission would have power only to con- fer, not enforce a settlement.
 By the new process of toughening timber it is claimed that the effect produced upon whitewood is such that cold chisel is re- quired in order to split it. This result is eonpllsueu py speclaA moIhoA VI s9o0inAhS the timber and submitting it to end pressure, technically "upsetting it." By this means cells and flores are compressed into one com pact mass; and it is the opinion of those who have sxperimented with the process that wood can be compressed to the extent of some sev- enty-fve per cent, and that some of the tim ber now considered unfit for use in such york as carriage building, for instance, can be made valuable by this means as a substi tute for ash, hickory, etc.

Since using these bitters have not lost days work. They take right hold and the effects always pleasing.

Consumption
 Conquered 1!
WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE.

CHAS. A. CABRERA, B Hawley Street,
 Boston, Mass, writes:
 Zone year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, as a last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle took a new lease of life, and can honestly say to-day that one spoonf of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first sympton of cough cold I fly to it for the relief it never fails to give"
 DR. FLOWERS LUNG COR- DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
 Price $1 per bottle. Acopy of Dr. Flowers Rules for the Treatment of Consumption ac- companies each bottle.

An Every Day Occurrence.



Springtield's sun was slowly setting on the
hills far away.
Filling all the land with beauty at the close
of one busy day.
And the last rays kissed the forehead of a
man in ragged clothes,
With step slow and weakened, wriukled
brow and tiOrd nose
Sadly strOlled he down on Main street
gazing to the left and right.
Struggling to keep back the murmur: :"
must have a suit tonight"
Sad his mind and pale his features. and
cold his wandering eye.
As into a store he wandered to see what five
dollars would buy.
And although he gave each merchant on
the street thorough look.
Naught he found to suit his fancy, naught
to suit his pocket-book.
Still he entered every doorway, striving
hard To find the right,
As he spoke in husky whisper, =" must
have a suit tonight"
Onward still. until he p issId 81 tinfron
