Mormon. At Work.

Attention has been called to the arrival at

Sweden by the rescue ola young girl from

fifteen, ind IL typical Swede us to purity of

young women in the purity. There were sew
enty-two of the Swedish converts, and they
were accompanied by 149 freshly mnde Nor

Lake. The Swedes were from the province Of
Blekings, md were brought to an acceptance
ofpolygamy by the preaching of Hagsberg,

Five of the women whom he converted,
according to Emma's confession, were to
become members of his household, really his
wives. although in order to evade prosecu-
ton they would purport to he hired work
ers. A curious instance of conjugnl irregu-
lnrity was in the English contingent. Elder
Abram johnson. who had charge of the en-
tire company, had been six months proselyt-
ing in the southern counties of England, ind
about hnlf a hundred OF tho immigrants wero
his personal converts. Most Of the dozen
families brought over by him to the faith
had come with the understanding. between
the husbands and wives, that polygamy was
not to be INDUCED in. But there was one
remarkable exception. John and Charles
laird, brothers, were accompanied each by
wife. John did not propose to practice tho
Mormon doctrine Of polygamy, but Charles
Charles wife would not consent to sharing 1.
husband with other women, while John e
wife had no objection to it. The arrange.
ment WINS therefore made that John and
Charles should swap wives, and they did 70

The Contagion oi Yawning.

"Did you ever notice how conta-

yawn if you so about it properly"
continued the young man. 81 have

The young mass put up his hand
with an affcctation of covering the
mouth, and then, as it was no use to
try to check an ovcrpowering i'm
pulse, he drew his hand away, threw
his head still further back and utter

What Immigrants Give and Take.

Speaking of the pccuniary value Of
immigrants, it is well enough to fig
ure them up as worth economically
SO much per head us muscle and
labor, and then to count up the
capital they bring to this country
(about 800 apiece; but We must
next estimate what is sent out of tho
country by them to aid friends in
the old countries. Since 1913 about
$2OO,O0O,O0O have bccn sent back
by settlers to Europe. It is also not
generally known that tho number of
successful emigrants who return to
England and elsewhere is large. In
1886, 10000 persons of British and
Irish origin returned tlitllcr from
North America. 1t is not improba.
