ABOUT PRAYING.
BY JOSEPH 1oNGK1NG rowNsHHsD.

BY JOSEPH LONGKING TowNsHRND.
1t don't all consist in praying,
can tell you that for fact;
Would you succeed
Both word and deed
Together must make the act
For the man who at prayers will lingsr,
And don't know when he's through,
VIII often find
That he's behind,
And his word too oft untrue.
Now, there's my brother Samuel,
When he bends his knees in prayer,
Why, he must tell
OF all that's well,
Or Ill, most everywhere,
And to make the Lord well posted,
He ends and begins again;
And long before
Sans prayer is DER,
I'm tired of saying amen"
And there's my brother Henry,
Who is much inclined to shirk,
In all his tasks
The Lord he asks
To rustic and do his work.
But this l have often noticed
When strolling around his farm
The weeds still grow
Where Henry's hoe
Wasn't moved by Henry's arm.
What, then, is the use of praying!
Why much, for there's power in prayer:
God gives to all
Who on Him call
The spirit to do and dare;
If they call on Him in reason
He furnishes power of thought;
And wisdom gives
Till knowledge lives
In more useful labors wrought.
So, I'm down on long petitions,
That weary the heart and brain;
A word of grace
That suits the place
VIII better answer gain,
For the Lord don't raise the products
Of garden, and farm, and field,
Except the prayer
Is uttered there,
And with brains and muscles sealed.

THE COMPTON, DIES COMPETE,
The Death of Rocherean, Manager of the G.
Germ, Caused a Panic

The Death OF R0cherean, Manager of the Con-
Germ, Caused Panic.
PARIS, March 23.-The bourse to day
was firm throughout in recovery of prices
of shares of credit houses, and, in sympathy
with high prices abroad The counsel of
Compton Des Compile has issued circular
in which it is stated that the death of
Rocherean, managing director of the con-
Germ created such panic among the de-
positorS that the bank was compelled to aE-
peal for aid in order to promptly obtain
sufficient funds to insure the proper work
ing of the organization.
The council warmly acknowledges the
aid given, which enabled the Compton des
Compile to meet all its repayments.
One shareholder took the initiative and
applied to the tribunal of commerce for
dissolution of the company and the .ap-
pointment of provisional administration
The council could not oppose the demand,
as it was accompanied by the proposal TO
establish new company which could not
be favored with advantage until the power
were granted to transfer to 1t the present
organization and its connections, IN which
a break must be avoided at any cost.

The Weather and Crops.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The weather
crop bulletin issued by the signal service
office for the week ending March % says
the weather has been favorable for growing
crops and farm work throughout the
central valleys and the southern states
Recent rains in the wheat region as far
north as the latitude of central Illinois,
extending from Ohio to Kansas, have
doubtless improved the condition of the
wheat crop. The weather conditions in the
southwest, including the Gulf states, have
enabled the farmers in that section to al
most complete the planting of corn. In
New England the grounds generally frozen
and covered with snow. In New York and
Pennsylvania the weather is generally
favorable.

Defunct-A Good Moral.

The following letter addressed to the cor
Oner of Salt Lake county in connection with
the suicide of w. r. Foster at the
st. Elmo hotel in this city on the

dug up and will prove interesting reading.
As the writer kindly got off the earth soon
after penning the epistle, we let it go just
as it was written, spelling, capitalization,
punctuation and all:

A CREAMERY.
For Every Home in the Territory of Utah

For Every Home in the Territory of Utah.
In the rear of the Stakeholder establishment
on Main street is an article soon to be placed
upon the market. It is a Delaware County
Creamery. In appearance it resembles an old
fashioned chest but after one has gotten into its
mysteries it becomes a very different thing in
deed. 1t contains a water vat in which is the
milk dish. Into this dish the milk is strained
without any loss, direct from the cans, into
which the COW has permitted the milk to be
taken from her. This milk can is entirely
covered by water, so that the milk is kept at all
times at an even temperature, which is neceS-
Sary to the production of all the cream possible
from the milk. When the cream has risen to
the top there are taps at the bottom of the milk
dish, 50 that the milk is all drained of, and the
trouble of lifting the cream is done away with,
BY means of a glass IN connection with the pan,
the person operating can see when all the milk is
off, and the tap has then only to be turned to
keep the cream still in the dish. Another recep-
tacle is placed beneath the dish in the stead of
that n which the milk had been run and then
the cream can be drained of, and the milk and
the cream thus separated without further
trouble. 1t is claimed that by this process that
amount OF milk by means OF these creamerieS
than by any other process so far discovered.
OF course, every person Hwho has ever made
butter recognizes the fact that good butter is i'm
possible without good cream; and good cream is
only possible where all the conditions are favor
able The Delaware creamery is constructed to
prevent the tainting of the milk by articles of
food in the house, and therefore can be placed
anywhere. This is its great advantage, and will
recommend it to all housewives.
The exclusive agency of these creamerieS to
the western states and territories has been Sc
cured by MeSSrs. Fred Turner and r. 5. Spence,
and they are now preparing To place them among
the people. They vary in size, capacity and
price. it would be well for all farmers and
others to communicate with the gentlemen
named.

AN IMPERATIVE NEED.
The Necessity for the Establishment of a
Board of Health.
To the Editor of THE HERALD.

To the Editor of THE HERALD.
An examination of the rather meagre statistics
bearing upon the subject reveals the fact that
during the past year from 1875 per cent to 5oper
cent. ofthe deaths and sickness in this city were
due to preventable causes.
1t is estimated that not less than S25 900 is
annually taken from this city by advertising
doctors and quackS, large proportion of this
sum coming from those who are least able to
afford it. In addition to this is the loss of life
and limb, prolonged or permanent ill-health
directly or indirectly traceable to the employ
ment of unqualified physicians by those who
have no means of discriminating between the
properly educated and the ignorant practitioners.
In no spirit of fault finding are the above fac is
brought to the attention of the public, but to
show the necessity of immediate action in the
establishment OF a board OF health in this city.
The utility of these boards is not matter of eX-
pertinent; their efficiency has been practically
demonstrated in every state in the Union, and in
every important city. Those to whom has been
entrusted the public's welfare are realizing that
their responsibility in protecting the public from
the ravages of preventable disease is not less
grave than that of the individual in leaving
nothing undone to effect their cure.
AS parent sits idly by the bedside of his
child dying of a durable disease, refusing to en-
ploy the aid and counsel of those skilled in the
treatment of disease would be deemed guilty of
criminal negligence, so ought the municipal
authorities to be considered, who by careless
ness in taking proper precautions subject their
citizens to the dangers OF preventable diseases.
1t has been truly said that the time is not far
distant when mothers sorrowing over children
slain by scarlet fever and diphtheria; husbands
mourning for wives murdered by ignorant mid
wives and quacks; wives weeping for husbands
stricken down with typhoid fever, smallpox
cholera yellow fever, shall point to the legisla-
tor and say: Thou art the man. Had you en-
acted proper laws and empowered sanitarians to
execute them, death had not invaded our homes"
There is another reason why this city should
not be satisfied with any but the most approved
system of sanitation. In this day of almighty
dollar rule" a pecuniary consideration has its
weight. five apply the very ingenious method
of calculation used by DR.. Farr zone the highest
authorities of England) it will be shown that this
city loses annually many thousands OF dollars by
preyentable sickness and death. To this loss
should be added the wealth that might be
brought to this city by people who are 10th to

WHO WILL GO TO BNGLAND9
1t is Probable that Senator Evarts Will Be
Selected.

1t is Probable that Senator Evarts viii Be
Selected.
Especial to THE HERALD--Examiner Dispatch.
The impression is growing here that
Senator Evarts, Of New York, will succeed
Mr.. Phelps as our representative to Eng
land 1t is true that New York has been
given two good missions, but there is no
reason why she should not have third if
President Harrison will bestow it upon
her.
1t is believed, all things considered, that
Mr.. Evarts would make an excellent minis
ter to the English court. He comes more
nearly filling the measure of the Presi-
dents expectation in that regard than any
of the gentlemen who have thus far been
mentioned in connection with the place.
He has yet two years to serve in the Sen
ate His withdrawal would enable Mr.
Depew to fill out the uneXpired term, and
thus delay for a twelve month, at least, the
contest at Albany over the succession for
the long term beginning March B. 1891.

HERBERT'S MISSION.
Count Herbert Bismarck on O.
Political Visit to England.
AMERICA WILL BECOME LEADER.
Ex-Governor Gray of New Zealand Gives His
Views the Auckland Herald of
Samoan Matters.

BERLIN, March 23.-[Copyright 1889 by
the New York Associated Press. Count
Herbert Bismarck's visit to England follow
ing so closely upon that of Sir Edward
Molet, British ambassador, has given rise
to all kinds of political speculation.
The rumors that England is about to ioin
the triple alliance may, however, be dis
missed summarily, as may also the state
ments of the official press that the count is
merely making a holiday visit.
ARRANGE FOR THE QUEENS VISIT.
The fact is the visit has a double effect, the
most important of which is the arrangement
of details for the Emperor's visit to Eng
land during the coming summer, and as
certain the wishes of Queen Victoria as to
whether her visit shall be merely of a do
nestle nature or shall assume a state
character.
During tina past week Count Bismarck
has had series of long interviews with the
Emperor, in which the matter of his
majesty's visit was fully discussed.
WILL DISCUSS COLONIAL MATTERS.
In the second place Count Herbert will
take opportunity to discuss with Lord
Salisbury the colonial matters affecting the
two nations. 1t is not improbable that
some KIND OF an agreement will be arrived
at, embo lying the principles of the future
colonial policy where British and German
interests come in contact
The BOesen Zeitung says that Count
Herbert Bismarck will endeavor to bring
the differing colonial views of England and
Germany in harmony
The Post tonight announces that the
SOmOa conference will be postponed prob
ably until the beginning of May. This may
be regarded as indicating desire to await
the outcome of Count Herbert's mission.
KSAPPE REPRIMANDED.
Bismarck's reprimard of DIR. Knappe is
much commented on. The FrsiSinni0s
Zeitmg says that DR.. Knappe was really
driven into state of Juror consular by
Herbert Bismarck's dispatch in January,
instructing him as to the effect of neces-
sary reprisals against rebels, who, he said,
by attacking, had brought about a state of
war. The seizure by the police authorities
of the VOlks Zeitung has created a great
sensation and legal decision upon the right
of the police to suppress papers, is awaited
with considerable interest.
RASH AND IMPRUDENT.
Even the National Liberal press have not
word to say in defense of what is gener-
ally rated as rash and imprudent proceed
ing on the part of the police.
While the feelings of the Liberal party
are shown by paragraph in the Fr-ieiSHnig
Zsitttng entitled Fearless and Enduring"
and advising steadfastness under the
threatened reactionary measures of the
government, which looks like return to
the time of King Frederick William.

A Hundred Tons of Money.

It hardly seems possible that the money
paid in one month for ten-cent article,
could, if pennies were used in payment,
weigh one hundred tons. Yet one of our
bright school boys has fis ured that this is
true of Diamond Dyes. To judge from the
