sorrow of the death, on Friday of last
week, OF our dear brother, Elder DAM ell
Dye, who broke to us the bread of life
for brief season many years ago. Il
Is our JOY to know that for nearly &c
years he served in the Gospel with a
stainless reputation, an ardent lover of
souls, and of the peace Of Zion. 1t
seems to US like remarkable Provi.

greetings to the church on this occasion
he should have been summoned to

Tho Latest Thing In Wells.

The newest thing in wells is strip Of
fine wire gauze. 1t is as delicate as the
dainty silk affairs which women persist
in pulling down over their noses. and
much less injurious to the eyes than the
dotted or figured net 80 common upon
the street. In appearance it does not
differ at all from the ordinary veil, ex-
cept perhaps it may be thought less fex-
ible. The wire gauze veil is not in the
market, but women have brought few
from England, where they are beginning
to be used, chiefly because they are better
respirators than silk, which persists in
choking ones breath and plastering
itself down upon the face if the air is
ever SO little damp. A veil of silver
thread is very ornamental. New York

Examn,a q. Europ.an po,,tspe...

In Italy, as well as in France, we often
find pleasant disposition to offer service,
even if it is not directly paid for. I was

with the place and inquired Of clerk at .

some business, the address Of a good shop
where could buy what wanted. He there

q did not know the city it would be much
better for him to accompany me. He took
mo to the best place in town, helped me
in my selection, made suggestions to the
shepkeeper, and when had Anished my busi-
ness, offered to 60 with me to buy any
thing else might want
Itis possible that he may have been paid
for bringing purchasers to this shop, but the
price paid for what bought was SO small
that there could not have been much profit
to anybody, and do not believe that the
large and wealthy firm by whom this young
man was employed would allow one of their
clerks to go out in this way merely to give
him chance to make little money. Let any
stranger in one of our cities enter an express
Office and try to get one of the clerks to &c

made known his desire, let him wait and see

It is wonderful how the discovery Of
what is considered trifiing matter will
bring wealth to the inventor. Take, for
illustration, the perforated substance used
for bottoming chairs and for other pur-
poses. Its inventor is now millionaire
and is realizing princely revenue from
it yearly. George Yeaton, the inventor
I refer to- was poor Yankee caneseater
in Vermont. He first distinguished HIM
self by inventing machine for weaving
cane, but he made no money out of it,
as some one stole his idea and had the
process patented. After number of
years experimenting Yeaton at last hit
upon this invention, which consists of a
number of thin layers of boards of differ
ent degrees of hardness, glued together
to give pliability. Yeaton went through
a number Of bitterly contested lawsuits
before he got his invention patented. He
was wise in not paying others to manu-
factllre his device. lie formed COM
pany, and to-day he has plant valued
at $500, ,000.-Kansas City Star.

a Rerqlution IN cloek Making.

A patent for new clock, or chronom.
eter, has just been granted that is at
tracing considerable attention here. Il
is the invention of two Maryland men,
who claim 1t can be made to run, if
necessary, for years after once wound
up. Other special features of this time
piece are that it is absolutely noiseless
when in operation, and does away en-
tirely with the pendulum and balance
wheel now used in clocks and watches.
The running gear, including both the
striking and time mechanism, consists of
but six wheels and it requires but one
spring to propel both of these attachments.
BY the use of a patent self winding spring,
connected to two of the wheels, the in
ventors utilize the power wasted by fric-
ton in other timepieces, thus enabling
the clock to run a much greater length
of time with the same motive power, or
by once winding it up. The inventors
threaten TO work a revolution in clock
making, by the introduction of q perfect
timepiece, which, they say, because of
its simplicity, can be manufactured at
much less cost than many excellent low
priced timepieces manufactured in this
country to-day. Washington Critic.

ROatopss Giant Gorilla.

Boston has received from Africa the
largest gorilla ever landed in this coun-
try. His name is Jack, and he is five
feet in height when standing erect, and
measures seven feet from the end Of one
outstretched hand to the other. He
weighs about 1876 pounds, and exhibits
enormous strength, compared with which
that of man seems like q child's. He
arrived in large box made of planking
two and half inches thick. and when
being removed from the ship he tore
large splinters from the hard wood planks
with as much ease as a child would break
twig. The hair, which is very coarse,
and from two to four inches in length,
is of a greenish gray color, and on the
back, legs and arms inclines to black.
His shoulders are immense. The ex-
preston of his face, which is black, is
scowling. The eyes are small. sunken
in the head, and the lips large and thin.

The "sweating System"

1t is reported that workers in certain
trades in London have been reduced to q
condition of slavery by the Sweating
system" Not only do the sweaters ex-
act long hours and pay small wages, but
the work is done under conditions which
are said to be filthy and insanitary in the
highest degree. The strongest man or
woman is worn out in the course of eight
or nine years, and the vacancies thus
created in the ranks of British workers
are filed by foreign immigrants. The
subject has been brought to the attention

Tho Triumph of Bradlaurh.

Mr.. Bradlaugh's parliamentary oaths
bill has the advantage Of being extremely
short. 1t consists of only two clauses;
the debatable part Of it, indeed, of only
ona 1t enacts that every person, upon
objecting to being sworn, shall be per-
mitted to make his solemn affirmation
instead of taking an oath in all places
where an oath is or shall be required by
law. The affirmation is to be of the same
force and effect as the oath, and the pen
alties for false affirmation shall be the
penalties Of perjury.
Thus, in form, the provision is almost
identical with the act for enabling Quak-
ers to affirm; it only extends that ability
to all persons, whether belonging.to one
religious denomination or not. 1t applies
to jurors and witnesses, and also to all
other persons who may be now called on
to take an oath; to those who have to
take the oath of allegiance, and even, we
suppose, to the sovereign himself. Lon

Old Commodore vanderbilt's Cook.

One of the Vanderbilts is said to have
imported, with due regard to the con-
tract labor law, chef, to whom he is to
pay $40, 900 year, more or less. His
grandfather didn't pay $40, 900 year,
either more or less, to mis- cook.
A well known physician called on the
commodore one day some years before
his death, and found him at breakfast.
His family was out of town. The visit
was ended and the physician rose to go.
''How do you get along with your
family away2" he asked the maker of
the millions.

modore. "I've got an old woman who

Russian Mourning Costumes.

They certainly do not do things by
halves in imperial Russia. When the
court goes into mourning the material
which the ladies have to wear is black
flannel, unrelieved by any ornaments,
even of jet. Black flannel may be q
seasonable stuff for Russian March, but
it is not beautiful. Still it has the merit
of making the st. Petersburg court ladies
mourn in good earnest. st.--London Globe.

Tor people are never Jealous of failure.
Until your work is done you are invul-

But so far from denolishing either his
mission or his good name, after near
nineteen centuries He outranks everv-

bloody antagonists thought that they
had finished Him when they wrote over
the cross His accusation in three Lam

What soft pillow to die on if when we

made envious and jealous attack on
others, we have repented of the sin and
as far as possible made reparation. The
good resolution of Timothy Poland, in
his quaint but exquisite hymn, entitled
''Most Any Day." we might well unani-
mously adopt:
Wen keep all right and good within,
Our work win then be free from sin;
Upright ws'H walk through thick and thin
Straight ON our way.
Deal just with ALL the prize well win

When he who made all things Just right
Shall call Us hence to realms of light.
Be it morn or noon or cen or night,
We will obey; Ts-
Well be prepared to take our fight

That's good and pure, that would not spoil,
And keep them burning all the while
To light our way;
Our work all done, wen quit the soil

A King in q Cupboard.

Old Mother Hubbard, or somebody
else, recently went to cupboard In the
royal palace at Madrid and found the
future king of Spain. Little Alphonso
had been left in charge Of his sisters, who
deserted him after a time. The royal
baby thereupon crawled into a cupboard,
the door of which was afterward closed
by some one who did not know that the
child was inside. Nurses, grooms, butt
lers, pages, scullions, soldiers, relatives,
back stair potentates and front hall
flunkies, grandees dons and doorkeepers
searched the palace for his majesty. AT
last he was found, and the throbbing
nerves of great people were stilled by O

Preaching Under Difficulties.

A curious case of the pursuit of preach
ing under difficulties came under my
notice. In q country church in the re-
mote districts of the west Of England
swarm Of bees had taken up their
quarters in the oaken woodwork at the
back of the pulpit, to the dismay and
discomfort of the weekly occupant of
that structure. During the discharge of
his peculiar function he was not only
annoyed with the busy sullen roar of the
hive, but his fear OF arousing their
animosity by the loud challenge of his
tones, or by the vibration Of the pulpit,
was stimulated by the light skirmishers
which used to come out and perform all
sorts of minatory maneuvers within
reasonable distance of his nose. The
annoyance at length became intolerable.
and orders were given to smoke out the
bees. This was effectually done; but,
unfortunately, the clerk in smoking out
the bees set fire to the church, and it was
burned to the ground. nd.-Chambers' Jour-
