offense. He spoke in the highest terms OF
their peace and good order, and the repu-
tation which they had acquired for other
high qualities among the residents of that
group. While outside of the Mormon
colony the Sandwich Islanders are rapidly
decreasing, there they are steadily increas-
ing in numbers, due to the lessons of NOR
atty which they are taught. Wherever
our missionaries have gone, these have
been the fruits which have attended their
labors.
Industrious, moral and God-fearing at
home, and valiant and respected abroad,
they have held the attention of the world
for fifty years. They are still quoted and
observed by influential men of every class
and cline. With the virtues they have
shown, and the record they have made, it
is not easy to blacken their character and
ruin their prospects. We have seen that
robbery, falsehood, driving, murder, have
all tried it in vain.
The future will have its own history. 1t
must write it in its own way.

PERTINENT POINTS.

A farmer in Brooke county, w. Va,
has an old fashioned pecketbook that his
father and grandfather used to carry.
He estimates that more than $500, 900 has
been in it since it has been in use.
The human skin is composed of three
layers, averaging in all between one
twelfth and one-eighth of an inch in
thickness, and, in extreme cases, as
much as one-fourth of an inch in thick
ness.
The first living skeleton was Claude
Sewrat, born in France in 1899. He was
tall and would have been well shaped
had there been any flesh on his body; as
it was, every bone could be distinctly
seen.

first farming operations performed by
American labor there were carried on by
the Mormons. The first gold discovered
in California, which has created such a
revolution, was dug by Mormons. We
are the first Anglo-Saxons who have prac-
ticed irrigation. We came to U tab as reli-
gious exiles. We came here with deter
mination to make it our home, because we
desired to be where we could worship God
ACCORDING to the dictates of our own con-
sciences, undisturbed by mobs and reli-
gious bigotry. California presented many
allurements: but we preferred the poverty
and hardships incident to the settlement of
this territory to going to land where
wealth could be acquired with such ease as
in California. We loved these mountain
valleys; we became deeply attached to
them, because they proved refuge to US
at time when we were sick and weary
been compelled to endure at the hands of
our fellow citizens.
In the industrial world to-day we are
quoted as an example to all communities.
No spot on the continent is fairer to look
upon than the territory which our labor
has reclaimed. Our cities and towns are
desirable in the eyes of all corners, as
pleasant places for residence and secure
fields for investment.
How different it is with the spots we
once inhabited and from which we were
driven! If the thrift and industry and
perseverance of the Mormons had been
permitted to enjoy fair field for their ex-
ercise in Missouri, how different would
have been the history of that state! Our
lands under the highest state of cultivation
would have become of exceeding value.
The same may be said of Illinois or the por-
tions which we occupied. The city of
Nauvoo was beautiful for situation. 1t was
of more Importance at that time in many
respects than Chicago; its natural facilities
were very great, and were we still occupy
ing it, it is doubtful if more beautiful or
more prosperous city could be found with
in the boundaries of the union. But a
blight has fallen upon it. 1t seems as
though the curse of God had rested upon
all the prospects and expectations of those
who hoped by driving us out to possess and
profit by it. The very bricks which our
people had made and with which they had
built their residences and public buildings
have been shipped away to other towns.

MRS. SENATOR HAwLEY's PLUM PUDDING.
Now the English of it in charming note
from Mrs. Hawley. She writes:
Il had plum pudding made last Christ
mas and followed my mothers recipe ex-
actly but somehow it did not taste like the
English plum pudding. This, think was
the reason. In England the last Sunday in
Trinity is 'stir-up Sunday" and every one
in the family from the grandmother to the
two-year-old stirs the pudding. Phipps
has picture showing this custom, where a
little baby is held up by its grandmother
who holds the ladle in its hand and guides
it while it stirs. Each one as he stirs puts
in new shilling or sixpence for the cook,
and the mistress of the house drops in a
ring and thimble. The one who gets the
ring in her piece Christmas day will be
married within year, but the one to whom
the thimble falls will be a spiHster all her
life. The pudding is boiled the Monday
following "stir-up Sunday" but it is not
touched until Christmas day. Then comes
the poetical part of it. The butler brings
the pudding in on great platter and it is
surrounded by delicate green flames, made
by burning the brandy which has been
poured over it. Now comes the test of the
service. If there are score at the table
each one must receive piece that is still
surrounded by flames. 1t has to be speedy
work, and when accomplished is beauti-
full sight, to see at every plate spiral
fame and in the platter flames surrounding
the bit of holly with which it is decorated.
These things are the making of English

BARBECrED MUTTON FROM TEXAS

BARBECUED MUTTON FROM TEXAS.
Mrs. Roger Q. Mills barbecued mutton
has gained more votes for Corsican's states
man than his free trade speeches. 1t is al
ways prepared by Mrs. Mills own hands
and the Texan who eats it never swerves
from his allegiance. Mrs. Mills has writ
ten it out with her own hand. 1t is as
follows:
"Take nice tender forequarter or only
the ribs of lamb or mutton. Cut it across
three or four times to break the bones so as
to carve it easily. Put it in fiat stove
pan, or better on broiler in front of the
fire. Let it boil slowly. Take a pint OF
vinegar, add to it two tablespoonful of red
pepper pods (cut up fine, much the best,
teaspoorful black pepper, salt to taste, and
two tablespoonful of butter. Keep this
hot. Make sponge of piece CT soft cloth
and all the time the meat is cooking, mop it
with the dressing. When ready, pour on
the rest of the dressing and serve hot"

In visiting it as l have twice since our ex-
pulsion, it seemed to me that never was
in place where l felt desolation as did
the same fate were permitted.
If it be possible to conceive
of the Mormons abandoning for
any cause these valleys, no matter
how much man may think differently, the
same desolation would follow. 1t would
not be long before land would be of no
value, if those who coveted and envied US
our homes were to thus come into posses
sion of them.
To-day our fair fame is untarnished by
dishonor. In the commercial world our
credit is of the highest. We can be trusted
in financial circles because we always full
fill our obligations. Merchants, bankers,
business men of ali parts of the country
yield US freely this praise. The experience
OF all who have dealt with US has been that
there have been fewer losses from dishon-
esty, from failures, from unwillingness to
pay debts, among the Mormons than in any
community in the land.
In the social qualities of peace and gooo
order we have no equals in the world
Apart from the offenses defined by special
enactment to meet our case, an lnfractlon
of law by a Mormon IS of rare occurrence
The criminal records show that with
large majority of the population, we fur-
nish but an insignificant proportion OF the
offenders This same is true wherever our
people are. Within a few days we have
had an interview with Clarence w. Ash
ford, Esq, the attorney general of his
majesty, King Kalakaus, of the Sandwich
Islands. He stated that no member OF the
Mormon church or colony on the Sand
witch Islands had ever been prosecuted
during his term of Office for criminal

genuity in framing accusations, for such
accusations do not, as we have seen, wear
long But if we have no other reliance for
the future than is supplied by the lessons
of the past, we may feel assured that we
will come out better, greater and more
prospered after each successive trial. We
possess qualities which have made US re-
markable. We were distinguished for
them fifty years ago, and we still retain
them; they have neither been modified nor
obliterated by persecution, poverty, exile,
nor the great variety of Affections which
we have been compelled to endure. We
have been distinguished for our profound
reverence for the Deity, for an abiding
loyalty to the constitution and the hag-a
loyalty which no persecution or wrong has
ever been able to extinguish, or even to
disturb. We have had high conception
of the rights of man, and have not been ex-
celled in this generation for our frugality,
our temperance, our industry, our perse-
verance, our honesty, our virtue, our hatred
to vice in every form, and to litigation and
violence. These characteristics, as long as
we remain true to our religion, will al
ways be ours, and a people possessing them
must become a power in the earth. No
thing short of our entire humiliation can
keep US down.
We have been the pioneers in western
civilization. About forty-five years ago
we were compelled to leave the cities and
pleasant places of our race, and launch
forth into an unknown wilderness. From
that day until the present we have been
the pioneers of the regions where we set
tied. We carried with US the printing
press. Among the first buildings erected
by US have been schoolrooms. The first
American paper published in California
was issued from Mormon press. The
