Grizzly and Bnnalo.

When there were buffalo on the plains
the Manitoba grizzlies were great hunters
of them. Wien a grizzly and a buffalo
met there was always sure to be a con-
test, but it seldom lasted long, and the
buffalo was usually the victim. The
buffalo would charge upon the bear,
which awaited the onset Of his foe erect
on his launches. As the buffalo dashed
upon him the bear threw himself aside,
and with a blow as quick rs lightning
with one of his fore paws seldom failed
to break his antagonists neck. A grizzly
bear has been known TO engage in quick
succession four and even five big buffalo
bulls, and to kill every q of them. 1t
frequently happened however, hat some
younger and more active bull than his
companions succeeded in evading the ia
tai blow of the grizzly's terrible fore paw
long enough to give in turn fatal thrust
with his horn in the bears side. punctur-

Dyeing with the Heuna Plant.

The lady who is about to undergo the
dyeing process is stretched ont at full
length o her back, and is not allowed
10 stir The paste is put IN the soles Of
the feet. the toes included, about an inch
thick; tn upper part Of the feet is never
dyed. Soft leaves are then applied, as a
covering, and the whole is tightly
wrapped in linen.
The same process is gone through with
the palm If the hand and the fingers. To
keep the application in place, the lady
must lie perfectly still all night, for no
other parts Of the body must receive the
dye, and a spot on the back of the hand
or the finger joints would be u great dis
f%igurement.
AT this time she is dreadfully teased by
swarms If mosquitoes and flies, but she
dare not move to drive them away. In
the upper classes slaves watch all night
TO keep away these pests with fans.
The same process must be repeated for
three nights TO obtain the desired red
tint; but, nee finished. it remains for a
month, and cannot be washed out.-"An

Their Work Was Worth something.

The cows Of a Georgia farmer got into
the pea field of his neighbor and de-
stroyed about ten bushels of peas. There
upon the latter farmer presented an ac-
count claiming 50 for ten bushels Of peas
at sixty cents per bushel. The owner of
the COWS examined the account and then
said: Look here, my cows ate up ten
bushels of your peas, but you know the
rules in gathering peas is to give one
half for the gathering. So YOU see my
cows were entitled to five bushels Of
those peas for picking them. Therefore
/ only owe YOU for five bushels 1t sixty
cents, and that makes So. Here's your
money" And at So they settled. -Chi.

upon the coming judgments and pre-
dicted that in the scenes OF trouble and
turmoil that were at hand. it was the
spirit OF revelation that would save the
righteous while the wicked would be
destroyed.
How shall we obtain the spirit of
revelation and retain it? By obedience
to the principles of the gospel, and by a
pure and consistent life. Being
baptized would not answer, alone, il
we took no thought Of our duty after
wards. 1t was life in accordance wi b
the lives of the prophets, that would
bring the spirit of the prophets; life
of prayer, fasting and purity. Obedi' nee
was heavens first law, and order was
the result of obedience.
The speaker bore strong and fervent
testimony 10 the truth eff the gospel and
the mission of Joseph, theprophet, and
PXhortcd the youth 10 seek earnestly
to obtain the spirit of revelation,
for it was the pearl of great price.
He did not mean that every one should
go off by himself and get a revelation 10

spirit of revelation. For as the spirit in

also 10 be alive, not paralyzed,
lest they should be III danger
of being severed from the rody. All
members of the church have a perfect
