Mormon Titiiing Scrip.

1If you 90 into the principal Office Of
the Tithing House, says a titan cores
pendent, YOU will see Il tall Young man
handling what looks like money. He
is behind Il counter and the counter is
protected by high railing The mau
glancos through the window, then looks
down ut the bills and then goes on
thumbing them like Il bank teller. He
goes to and from IL big safe, carrying
bundles done up just as bills are, with
little bands of brown paper pinned about
them. Sometimes the young man doesa,'t
stop 10 count. but takes the amount on
the brown slip rs correct and passes out
the money, 1t is the tithing scrip. Ii
is used to facilitate the handling of the
grain and hay and live stock and pro-
duce that come in. If you pick up one
of these bills you will find it very much
like bank note in Appearance. III one
upper corner is the number of the bill.
In the lower left hand corner is the in
hoe signo of Mormonism, bee hive.
The face of the bill reads: '.Gencral
Tithing Storchouse Good Only for
Merchandise and Produce Mt the General
Tithing Storchousc, Salt Lake City,
Utah" Each note bears the signature
of the presiding bishop. On the back
is the denomination again and Il vignctte
of the rev temple at Salt Lake City.
The back also bears the wording: "This
note is not current except in the mcr-
chandisc and produce departments of the
General Tithing Storehouso." The en-
craving is we'll executed and the print
ing is well done. The bills vary in
color. There are grecnbacks for one de-
part of the tithing house, brownbacks
for another, and so on. BY using this
scrip the Church is able to create u mar
ket for considerable quantities Of the
tithing. This scrip is given out in dis.
pcnsing charity. It is used in paving for
work on the temple so far as the work
men can make use OF it. Employees of
the tithing house receive their salaries
or allowances partly in scrip. In numer.
Gus ways the Mormon money gets into
circulation.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
TIE WAY TO pouE TEA

There is more to be learned about
pouring tea and coffee than most people
are willing to believe. Ii those decoc
tions are made ut the table, which is far
the best way, they require experience,
Judgment and cxactncss. If they are
brought on the table ready made, it still
requires Judgment so to npportion them
that they shall prove sufficient in guam
tity for the family, and that the elder
members shall have the stronger cups.
Often persons pour out tea, who. not
being ut all aware that the tea grows
stronger as they proceed, bcstow tho
poorest cup upon the greatest stranger,
and give the stronger to very young
member of the family, who would be
better without any. Where several cups
of equal strength arc wanted, you should
pour little into each, and then 60 bsck,
inverting the order as you fill them, and
the strength will be apportioncd prop
crly.
An carthcn pot is by far the best for
brewing; the tea may then be poured
into silver pot if desired. Heat the
pot and pour the water out before put
ting in the tea required, filling up at
once with boiling water; set from the
fire about ten minutes to draw, then pour
out rs above. Housewife.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Hypocrisy is the necessary burden oil
villainy.
1t is n curious fact in the run OF things
that it is easier to be thoroughly ortho-
'lox than to be thoroughly good.
A bad habit is like cat in that it has
many lives, and like Il cat you will have
to kill it nine times before you arc sure it
is dead.
Equity had been gradually shaping it.
self into u refined science which no hut
man faculties could master without long
and intense application.
The chief ingredients in the compo;;-
ton of those qualities that gain esteem
and praise are good nature, truth good
sense and good breeding.
A more glorious victory cannot be
gained over another nmn than this, that
when the injury began ON his part tho
kindness should begin on ours.
Libraries ARE the wurdrobcs of ltcra-
turc, whence men, properly informed,
might bring forth something for orna-
mcnt, much for curiosity, and more for
use.
If II nan does not make new acquaint-
ances as hc passes through life he will
soon find himself left alone. A man
should keep his friendship in constant re-
pair.
1t is hard to pcrsonatc and act part
long; for where truth is not ut the bot
tom, nature will always be cndcavoring
TO return, and will pass out and bctray
herself ono time or another.
There is nothing that makes man sus-
pcct much, than to know little; aud
therefore men should remedy suspicion
by striving to know more, and not TO
keep their suspicious in smother.
A man that hath no virtue in himself
ever cnvicth virtue in others; for mems
minds will either feed upon their own
good, or upon others evil; and who
wancth one will prey upon the other.
They that govern most make least
noise. You see when they row in II
barge they that do drudgcry work slash
and puff and sweat, but he that governs
sits quietly at the stern and scarce is seen
to stir.
Such is the force of envy and ill-naturc
That the failings of good men are more
published TO the world th,h, their good
deeds, and that one fault of deserving
man shall meet with more rcproachcs
than all his virtues will with praise.

AT the annual meeting of the Carriage
Builders National Association held ut
Syracuse, N. Y, the most important re-
port made was that on timber supply. IN
the report of the committee attention was
the scarccst Of all the woods used in the
construction Of carriages and wagons.
The supply WAS bcing heavily drawn upon
i'll other industries, and the outlook with
regard to il was very discouraging. As
to ldSrowth ash the situation was hut
little better, although il was obtainable
in much larger quantity. There would
bc enough of il to last for many genera
lions were it not for the fnct that il WAS
SO extensively used for the interior finish.
ing Of houses and for cabinet work. The
large old-growth oaks Of the South would
make M excellent substitute for ash, and
in some respects would prove superior to
it. The supply of whitrwood was very
abundant ut the present Time but like tho
old-srowth ash, il WINS being cut up ut
tremendous rate for house finishing pur-
poses. Eastwood wns found in nearly all
the timber States Of the Un'oi, and
should necessity require, il would make Il
good substitute for whitcwood in the
manufacture OF carriages. For hickory,
on the other hand, the most important Of
all carriage timbcrs, there wns no good
substitute in NIL the world. II grew only
in II few of the States and small part Of
Canndn. White oak, important in the
manufacture Of wagons, was ono of the
most abundant of NIL the tmbcrs used.
Like old-Yrowth ash aud whlcwood, it,
was being extensively employed in car
pcniry and for - thousand other purposes,
but the supply was so great that there was
no occasion for alarm in that fact.
AS to the waste Of timber the commit
lee report: ''It seems incredible that
there should be any place in this country
where good timber was considered II
nuisance, and the land worth more with il
of than with il on. Yet such is the case
all through the South, in the heavily
wooded districts. Unclcnrcd land il
worth only from 81 to 81 per acre, while
cleared of its timber il sells for from $40
to $l5 per acre. This leads to a dcstrllc-
ton Of trees by Il method called 'dcadcn-
ing, by chopping into the trees all round,
at "a convenient distance from the ground,
thus killing them; and there they stand,
silent witnesses of an unwisc and dcstruc-
tive policy. The extent to which this is
lone is surprising. Thousands of acres
Of timber are thus sacrificed every year,
not IN the South only, for in the State of
Ohio we have seen ms fine hickOrics rs ever
grew thus destroyed"

Flat bonncts pointed over the forehead
in Marie Stuart style are worn by ladies
just back from Europe.
Entire dresses of crochctcd wool are
worn by English children, especially de-
licatc ones, in cold, damp weather.
The cnpc-slccvcd jacket, Stimulating n
cape and waist-coat in front and Jacket
in the back, is new and fayorite light

Skirts are worn somewhat longer than

being seen on some. For these DAYS,
serge, that most scrviceabc OF all mate
rails, is in vogue; with these are worn
white or red cloth jackets, this hi, oil
color being very effective on the dark
gray, brown or loutre, the prevailing

Play Grounds On the Tops of Houses.

A plan for school play grounds, which
has obtained in London for some years,
has been mootcd in New York city in
connection with new school buildings in
the crowded tenement district Of the
cast side. In these regions space is
limited and dear, and the play rooms are
usually in dark and damp Easements.
Now it is proposed to try the experiment
of having play grounds on the roof. The
plan is to carry the walls up another
story, but to have no roof In wet
weather canvas top would he spread
over the room, but at all other times the
children would have the full benefit of
the mir and the sun. This experiment
has been tried in London, and has been
found to work satisfactorily, and in one
case 4 glass roof-forming "crystal
room"-was set up, to the great delight
and comfort of tho little ones. The
aerial experiment in play grounds will
certainly be tried in connection with one
of the New York schools -SapilaI"

A CURE FOR cmArrrp HANDS.

In II bright, breezy article on toilet
soap and its uses. Laurie Macllcnry gives
the readers of the Lmiifs' Home ,i,uinal
some useful hints about drying the hands
iii winter. She says:
You know the "chappr,l hands" so
many have written me about? You bring
ON the "claps" by drying your hands i'm
perfectly and then exposing them to cold
and heat while they are still damp.
know that some mornings you dry them
probably thirty or forty times, still in
sist ii will pay you To take time enough
to dry them thoroughly each time, then
rub them together over the lire until they
work smoothly and don't "sticl."
Teach the children this, too. I'll
venture you cant go into school.room
i'll this State and find onc-quurtcr Of the
pupils with soft, sound hands. With
few exceptions the poor little fists are red
and cracked opcn--rmslyhtly to look ut
and painful and uncomfortable for the
child. How many times we hear women
young and old-apologizing for the
condition of their hands, and adding
like martyrs: "My flesh is so sns.
ccptiblc to the cold" Or "my skin is so
dclicatc." Bosh! they need only say:
"It's all my own fault, you know, for ]
nm so careless about drying my hands,
Then again have seen women who Of
necessity had had their hands in water
and soap for so long that the flesh looked
nearly parboilcd, and the feeling, | am
told. is the acme of discomfort In such
"a case and to any who may have cimppcd
hands | recommend you To sii down and
just devote about fifteen minutes TO this
operation.
Take vasclinc, pctrolatum, lard, sweet
oil or mutton suet and smear you' hands
after having washed them thoroughly in
warm water. Any one of the above
mentioned grcases will do, but use
plcniy--so much that you are terrible
mess. Then work and rub the twist,
and wiring your hands together for II
long time, until they are soft and will
work all right without hurting. Then
take olean, warm water with few drops
of ammonia in il and good soap and wash
it of. IL may take three or four waters
When the grease is gone put on few
drops OF Il mixture of glyccrinc, soft
water ana cologne TN equal partS) ?nd
rub we'll This will leave your hands
smooth and soft, bu: not greasy or
sticky.
Glycerinc should never be used pure,
as it then has such an affinity or appetite
for water that it absorbs even the neccs-
sary moisture of the skin and produces
red, fcverish, irritatcd surface. Many
people complain that they "can't use
glyccrinc at ALL" because ii "don't agree
with their skins" Dilute it with water
and then try it, or what is better still,
mix glyccrinc, water and cologne in equal
parts as ! have just spoken about.
Don't let your husband try this mix

And man may listen and hearken to tho
wonderful music that rings.
If lie put from his hearts inner chamber all
the passion pain and strife,
Heartacho and weary longing that throb in
the pulses of life
If he thrust from his soul all hatred, all
thoughts of wicked things.
He can hear in the holy twilight how the bell
of the angels rings.
And think there lies i'll this legend, If VIC
open our eyes to see,
Somewhat of an inner meaning, my friend,

Let us loo': in our hearts aud question, can
pure thoughts enter in
To n soul il it bo already the dwelling Of

All, then. let us ponder II iittle-let us look

IL the twilight bell OF the angels could ring

A correspondent of the american Bel

ventilation snear each end; also three
wcll-titting, dpors, which leaves two dead
mir spaces between the bees and the ex.
tremcly cold weather, with the mercury
often forty degrees below zero in this
northern climate. When you put tho
bees into the cellar remove tho cover and
entrance blocks, leaving only tho Quilt
over the hive. Put two blocks (2x2
inches, and the length Of the hivo) under
the hive, then put two more on top, on
which to pu. another hive, and 10 on un.

The bottom hive should be not less than
ten inches from the bottom of the cellar!

not less than two-inch thing. Bees
