1000 REWARD! 1000.

A suitable reward will be paid for the
return Of the Russell Cyclone Separator
and the Celebrated Mitchell Wagon which
were lost to us on the Fair Grounds at
Salt Lake City, Saturday, October 5. It is
not presumptious on our part to say that
had we not been so busy operating the
New Era Road Grader, The Reversible
Township Grader, Russell Traction Engine,
and the Austin Well Drilling Machinery,
we should have watched our personal in
terests more closely and perhaps secured
a PRIZE. We are, however, compelled to
be content with the display we made,
which responsible parties claim to be THE
BEST, and also with the many words Of
praise bestowed upon our goods. They
are worth THOUSANDS of DOLLARS.

MODERN MIRACLE. BY james FRANKLIN
Fits. No. ID of the Manhattan Series of
popular American novels. Paper, l2 mo.
Price, % cents. Published by y. L. Burt, Of
Beekman street, New York.
The author of this latest issue of Mr..
Burt's excellent series is well and favor
ably known to the lovers of pure and enter
tanning fiction. The present volume is
quite worthy of his reputation and of the
series in which it appears. A difficult test
of literary ability is to invest trite sub
iect with new charms; and this has been
admirably accomplished in this novel. The
ever-present topic of the mismating of man
and woman in marriage is the basis of the
story, and while it is handled truthfully
and naturally, so powerful dramatic cast
is given to the characters and incidents
that the story is at once lifted out of the
catalogue of ordinary domestic fiction.

THE CREED OF THE THEosoPuIsTs.

That the Supreme Being is 'the univer-
sal principle formless changeless, devoid
Of the attributes of personality and limita-
tfon,n and utterly inscrutable. From a
thought or idea of him sprang the universe,
of which idea it is ''the sensible express

as the universal soul or "Soul of the
World, )" and manifests itself in two forms,
spirit and matter. These two forms are at
present antagonistic, but in the struggle
matter is constantly defeated, and will at
last be entirely dissolved spirit will remain
triumphant, and will be reabsorbed into the
Universal Soul from whence it sprang.
TEN soul will then "reascend the cyclic
way,>and finally stand at the foot of
the upper step of the spiritual worlds, as at
the first hour of its emanation. Beyond
that lies the great deep or mystery" Again,
the universe is governed, not by super
natural interference, but by law, eternal,
inmutable, and ever active. This law is,
curing the struggle between spirit and
matter, "a distinct dualism.' The actual
conduct of the universe is intrusted to in

The World Full Of Dust

Mr.. John Aitken is very ingenious
gentleman, but some OF his discover
les have a tendency to make one feel
creepy. He has invented an instru-
ment by means Of which he is able to
make number of calculations of the
most uncomfortable kind. With the
aid of this apparatus he is able to
count exactly the particles of dust in L"
sunbeam. In a cubic inch OF space
near the ceiling OF a room he found
SO, $40, 900 atoms of dust, and In the
same space Of Bunsen fame 4o9,-
100000 Such discoveries make us
dread the air we breathe. Not long
ago Mr.. Aitken proved that in the at
mosphefe OF a room when the gases
arc lit in the evening there are as
many particles in each cubic inch a'
there are inhabitants in Great Britain
and that in three inches from the gases
Of Bunsen fame the particles OF dust

1t is desperately hard life, more severe

and 1t requires men OF no ordinar,

spongers are therefore naturally an
exceedingly muscular set.
The principal season for this fishery
is the summer, from May to August,
but the best conditions OF the water
are in winter, and a great deal Of the
fishing is then carried on with success.
During the hurricane months of Au.

common conclusion. However, wheth-
err or not this conclusion is correct is u
question which the apostles of the
new education" which includes in
dustrial training. would be likely to
answer in the negative. In speaking
OF this to Rev. Robert Collyer, l asked
him il he did not think his splendidly
sustained strength, both mental and
physical, which, unde- the weight of
his sixty-three years. shows no sign OF
abatement, was not due to the fact
that his vitality had not been impaired
BY the confinement and routine OF
school life? He said that he had
thought it was so and that as the years
went on he was better satisfied that
his life had been what it was in its
earlier as we'll us later days.
In this connection he told me OF
preaching In Detroit very soon after
he left the forge, when he was ''full
of force and burliness to his very
finger tips" He said: II laid it down
to them with a great deal OF force,
and when had done one Of my hear

Farmers and Their Plaques.

A New Hampshirpc aper, which has
been studying the problem of insect
pests, declares that One-third of the
product of the farmers toll is devourcd
by these plaques, and predicts that the
earth is about to swing into the age of
insects, rs it has already passed
through the ages of fishes and reptiles,
and is now in the age Of mammals. 1t
suggests that the best way to fight
these winged enemies of the farmer,
most OF which arc night-hyers, is to
light torches and bonfres in eligible
places, let them fly into the flames and
burn them up. The well-known ton
dency of insects to fly into fire is re-
lied on to make the plan effective. A
better and cheaper way, however,
would be to abolish the shotgun. Let
insectivorous birds multiply, as they
will If not killed by sportsmen. and the
insects will be killed off better than by
fires. The farmers are largely re-
sponsible for their own misfortune, for
they permit shooting on their lands,
and too often indulge in the alleged
sport themselves. The way to save
their crops is to spare the birds. Phil
