Fleeing From the MormOns.

A rale.faced little woman. giving her
name as Elizabeth Turnhill Rutter, for
merly Of North Shields, England, was
picked up in Chicago apparently faint
ing from hunger. She claimed to have
had nothing to eat on her four days
trip from Ogden, Utah, on the way to
her old home i'll England She told a
terrible story Of experiences among tho
Mormons. Her son, she stated, had been
induced against the wishes of his parents
to Join a party Of emigrants organized
by Mormon missionaries i'll England.
The father, frantic with anxiety, fol.
lowed 20 Utah. He found employment
with n Mormon, Joseph Holbert, but
WAS unable to save enough to help con-
tinue the search until he pretended to
join the Church. Then he got money
and sent some to her, but all his letters
telling of the condition of affairs in
Utah were intercepted, and others sub
sti'uied urging her to come to Utah
with the missionaries. Rutter was muir
der"d shortly after she joined him. He
Ind inadvertently given young Nor
mon an linking of his plans to find his
boy and escape with his life. The Nor
mons assert that Rutter's death WIS ac-
cidental. She was defrauded by Hol-
bert of her husbands savings, but fee
ing to Ogden, she earned enough money
working in hotel to pay her passage
home. The amount Of railroad fare wa
larger than she expected and she had DO

The Prairie Shrimp.

The erasshopper plague in Minnesota
has assumed so serious character that
the farmers around st. Paul have decid-
ed to pay 81 bushel for the insects in
order to stimulate tho efforts for their
destruction. In Venezuela recently a
prize of 1000 was offered to anybody
who would invent means Of profitably
converting loousts into greece or any
other useful article. We cannot claim
originality for the idea, but why not
adopt the Indian system. The aborigin-
nj farmers on the plains, we have been
told heretofore, do not regard the grass
hopper as an unqualified evil. When
their wheat crops grow undisturbed by
these insects, the Indians eat the wheat
after it has been prepared in the usual
way. When the grasshoppers come and
eat the wheat, however, the Indians eat
the grasshoppers. In this way they are
always sure Of good crop, of one kind
or the other, and are happy liz any event
There is authority for the statement that
fried grasshoppers are not unpGlatable,
the testimony Of white men who have
dlned on them being that they have
rich, nutty taste" not unlike peanuts,
or something of that sort. and that the
most squeamish person would en-
Joy them if they were served up in bat
ter or under some other name. We do
not care to press the subject too far,
but why not give the frisky visitors "a
chance to redeem their reputation by
transferring them from the field to the
kitchen, from the frrrow to the frying
pan! The Indian holds the oyster and
shrimp in scorr, and his, we know is a
blind and unreasonable prejudice. Why
should we not learn from him Mt the
same time that we teach him to esteem
our delicacissl Let our friends in Min
nesota. then, name the grasshopper tie
Prairie Shrimp, for instance, and gather
him in and make the most of him.

A Change in the Buttons.

There is nothing more noticeable to
me than the wonderful change i'll the
buttons that women wear that has
taken place in two years, says news
paper writer. Perhaps | notice it more
on account of being in the business,
but it is so radical that any one woul!
perceive it if he had his attention called
to it. Formerly the buttons were fancy
and large; now they are small, plain
and cheap. When merchants can sell
manufactured buttons for three cents q
dozen 1t reduces the profits of the manu-
facturer. Style has decided that but
tons shall be small and plain. In con-
sequence, it is very seldom that n wo-
man pays more than 20 cents q dozen
for the buttons she uses on her dress,
and the majority use and 10 cent but
tons.
But this style will not last long: it
viii get around to tie old price where it
was profitable to manufacture buttons.
Two years ago the style was to wear
novelties, and the buttons used on
dresses never cost less than so cents a
dozen. The size of the button began
to Increase, and it was not uncommon
to see buttons two inches square on
cloaks. Many ladies paid as high as
- apiece for buttons. They were made
In fancy shapes, and there are few
ladies who have not pretty collections in
their scrap bags. They will be useful
some day, for the fashion in buttons is
always changing. Our trade hucsnates
accordingly. With improved machin.
cry it is now easy to make a cheap.
plain button. Bone is the principal
material for these buttons. and yege-
table ivory is also used, as well as co.
position.

How to Cool q Cellar.

a great mistake, says Ndica Ca~ics,
Is sometimes made in yentilating cellars
and meat houses. The object Of ventil-
alton is to keep the cellars cool and dry,
but this object often fails of being ac-
complished by comon mistake, and
instead TIE cellar is made both warm and
damp. A cool place should never be
ventilated, unless the air admitted il
cooler than tie air within, or is at least
rs cool as that or very little warmer.
The warmer the air, the more moisture
1T holds in suspension. Necessarily,
the cooler the air the more this mois-
ture is condensed and precipitated.
When cool cellar is aired on n warm
day, the entering air being in motion
APPEARS cool, but rs it Il Is tie cellars
the cooler mir with which it becomes
mixed chillsit, the moisture is condensed
and dew is deposited on the cold walls,
and may often be seen running down
them in streams. Then the cellar is
damp and soon becomcs mouldy. To
avoid this, the windows should only DO
opened ut night. and late-thc last thing
before retiring. Th'rc is no need to
fear that the night air is unhealthful: it
is as pure rs ii e all of midday and is
really d!ier. The cool sir enters the
apartment dining the night and circu-
lates through it. The windows should
be closed before sunris, in the morning,
and kept closed AMI shaded through the
day. If the air of the cellar is damp, it
may be thoroughly dried by placing in
1t peek OF fresh limo i'll Il loy. \ re,k
of lime will absorb about seven pounds.
or more than three quarts of water, and
in this way cellar or milk room may
soon be dried, even in the hottest
weather.
