TERRITORIAL MILITIA.

A respected CORES pondent, Chrome, y
has communication in this issue of
THE HERALD, in reference to organizing
the militia. The gentleman tells some
truths, and truths which are an etfec-
tive bar to any successful and general
organization OF the militia in this Terri
tory at present. 1t is not because the
military spirit does not exist here that
there is no militia. 1t is NOT because
the people do not like training days
and would not delightin drills and man.
@uYers. Americans all delight in that
sort of thing and take pride in it. They
also understand the necessity of a pop
ular knowledge OF military tactics. Until
few years ago there was an excellent
military organization in this Territory,
and it did good service in protecting
the settlements rom savage Indians,
and in keeping open and free from dan
ger the great transContineltsl highway.
Annual training days and encamp-
ments were events of Joy and pride, par
ticipated IN by all.
1t occurred to certain vicious
hearted officials, however, that
militia was not a good thing to
encourage, and those officials sa,
squarely and maliciousIy down upon
the organization, fairly rushing it out
Of existence. They even forbid and
prevented the appearance and partici-
patton of the militia in the celeb alton
of the national anniversary, and went
so far as to arrest and imprisou men
for appearing in uniforms and going
through themanual of arms with wood.
en- guns. A greater outrage was never
perpetrated on an American COM
munity.
1t didn't kill the military spirit, but it
put it to sleep and it has slept ever since
1t slumbers still, and is likely to until
an effort has been put forth to make
reparation for the wrong done. Indi-
Viduals soon forgiv9 and forget, but
communitl eS have to outgrow recollec-
tons of injuries inflicted on them.
The people are no. without patriotism,
but they remember how they were for
hidden by cannon and bayonet to
march to martial music in a Fourth of
July procession. Men are ready to
take up arms and hasten to the front
when their country calls, but it is still
fresh in their memories that their
country's official representatives said
that wearing uniforms was suspicious,
and practicing military tactics treason
able.
One of these days Utah will again
have militia, but it will not be until
the danger has passed of sending men
to a military PRISON for marching in
procession under the Stars and Stripes
on Independence Day.

AT TIE Christian Endeavor conven
ton in Chicago, the other day, a Nj.
Miles, of Boston, bit the foreign mission
business a hard blow, by suggesting
that there is here in the United States
ample field for all the missionary labor
the good and the charitable can main
tain. 1t is probably true that if the
money and effort expended abroad TO
convert Chinese, negroes and SO on to
Christianity, were employed at home,
the harvest would be greater; and one
American converted and Christianized,
is worth more to the church than a
whole village of Hottentots. But Level
as is Mr.. Miles head, and correct as his
proposition is, it will not be adopted.
There is a hunger to convert the
hea'hen, which cannot be appeased.

KINDNESS TO THE AGED.
Why They should be Comforted In Their
Declining Years.


Declining Years.
The loneliness of age! How few
think of this, and treat with due ten
derness and consideration those who
have outlived their generation, and
whose early companions and friends
have been taken from them! Unable
to engage in the activities of life, they
are no longer brought into contact and
sympathy with those around them, and
no tie of common interest and mutual
dependence binds them together. Their
views and tastes have naturally grown
apart. They share little in common
with others. The future of this life
has nothing to inspire their ambitions
or excite their hopes. What calls forth
the energies of others has no inspira-
ton for them. They necessarily, to a
great extent, live in a world of their
own, with which those around them
are not familiar. The communings of
past and the companions of other years
who have long passed away. Lover
and friends have been taken from
them, and their acquaintance laid in
darkness. The forms they admired
|'and loved are gone, the eyes that
looked into theirs with the tenderest
affection are sightless, and the voices
that cheered and stirred their souls
have long been silent. Their early
world of hope and life has become a
desolation, and they sit in silence con-
templatin9 the ruin that has been
wrought. They have but little to in
terest them in this world. Who would
not do what he can to cheer the loneli.
ness of age, to smooth their pathway,
and comfort them in their declining
years. Methodist Recorder.

BASEBALL BATS.
Nearly Million of Them Made In This

Nearly a Million of Them Made In This
Country Every Year.
The manufacture of baseball bats Is
an industry of which few people out
side of baseball players and dealers
have any knowledge. A reporter was
asked by a Nassau street dealer the
other day to guess how many bats are
turned out i'll America every year, and
replied "a hundred thousand "A
hundred tiddlesticks," returned the
dealer. 1.-The product last year was
eight times that amount. Nearly fifty
five thousand cords of wood were
worked up into bats. The majority
are made for amateur players, and are
wrought of American willow. This
wood is lighter than ash, and is conse-
quently more popular with young play
ers Michigan heads the list in the
manufacture of bats, for in that State
the best wood is found. The bats used
by professional players are made al
moss entirely of ash. This wood Is
found to be the strongest and most
elastic. Only the best quality of ash,
however, is of use. for the strain put
upon it is tremendous. Then, too, 1t
must be perfectly seasoned.
BATS are made in nearly every State
in the Union. The largest and most
noted factories are in West Virginia,
Illinois, Massachusetts. Rhode Island,
New York and Michigan. The goods
are turned out by machinery, uniform
in size and pattern. A lathe and the
right kind of wood are the only re-
quirements for their manufacture. Inc
factories of the United States furnish
the world with bats, for orders are re-
ceived almost daily from Europe, Aus,
tralia and Japan. ~ Y. Mail ana

ABOUT TENDERFEET.
Origin of the Name Ny which Strangers
Are Known in Denver.


Are Known In Denver.
Those who have merely read the
word "tenderfoot," and laughed at its
application to newcomers and green
horns in the mountain regions. would
laugh on the other side of their mouths
If they experienced the fortunes of
which this word in its pathic meaning
is only Il feeble exponent. Every body
who comes here from lower levels suf-
fers in the feet in a manner that is next
to uncomfortable. Tenderness expresses
the innocent condition of the foot unac-
customed to the roasting sands of the
Denver streets. This quality makes
the foot receptive of the crematory in
fluences that are concealed in the sun
kissed soil, and when the owner of a
pair of unsophisticated pedals of this
kind takes them out for a walk, partic-
ularly in the daytime, he will not go
farther than half-dozen blocks, or,
perhaps. half mile. before he begins
to think and feel that he is walking or
a bed of red-hot Goals. The soles of
his feet will burn and his legs will glow
and throb as if they had just been lifted
out of furious furnace, and he will
want to peel off his boots or shoes and
dip his raging extremities into the cool
looking ditch-water that purls by. This
horrible fear-begetting sensation is not
escaped by anybody who comes to this
elevation for the first time. The afflic-
ton lasts for several weeks, but is worst
in the first few days. If the Colorado pi-
oneers ever suffered these tortures they
have forgotten them, but all other people
candidly confess that they were vic
tins of Observation-Disclosures when they
landed in Denver, and they recall the
pain and anguish as something fright
full to endure. Malaria, refined and
sublimated to its ancient form is pas

for it is to grin and bearit No, there il

UTILIZING STRAW.
A Good Way of Converting 1t Into Manure
for Immediate Use.

for Immediate Use.
Passing through farming localities
where winter wheat is raised one notes
with surprise the amount of straw re-
naming in stacks from year to year.
If fed to stock, and properly worked
into manure, Il marked improvement
would result in the fertility and conse-
quent productiveness of land where
now to obtain satisfactory crops COM
mercal fertilizers are resorted to. For
working these large stacks into suitable
condition for use rs manure in the
quickest possible time, it is of course
essential that the farm be stocked with
animals of the different kinds, and in
numbers suited to it's size. 1t has long
been my practice to build, just pre-
vious to threshing, yard or stack
PEN of common fence rails, well
staked and capped, in size calculated
as near as may he for the quantity of
straw. A stack built with the straw
well laid over the rails, and finished
with n good top, will be in condition to
remain till the approach of cold
weather.
Liberal supplies should then be
placed before horses, sheep and cattle,
that they may make selections of the
best during the dry, and the remainder
be used for bedding in stables, litter
ing the yard and sheds in sufficient
quantity to absorb all liquids, thus pre-
venting the animals. particularly milch
COWS, becoming soiled and in the filthy
condition often seen. A pen of fatten-
ing hogs can be so managed that by
the close of the season a surprisingly
large amount of valuable manure will
result from frequent drafts on the
strawstack. with leaves from the lawn,
pea vines. etc. Straw stacked in this
manner does not allow of stock helping
| themselves, but requires the stack to be
cut down in sections, feeding daily,
and us each section is finished contract
the stack-pen and continue the process
until the whole is fed, which should
occur at or near the time of turning
the stock to pasture Thus straw is
converted into manure for immediate
use, yards left in readiness for another
season, and no animals smothered be-
meath stacks undermined. -IrUinq d.
