early in life. She was only thirteen years
old when her first story was published.
Since then she has published a great num-
Der of stories, sketches, poems and other
literary matter.
At the time of her removal to the west
Iowa was a border state. The life she saw
was rough but picturesque. 1t made a
deep impression on her susceptible mind
and she has reproduced it in her stories
and sketches with vividness and fidelity
that are remarkable, Her poetry deals
also with life and scenery in the west
One of the best of her productions is ITO
Mount Rainere," beautiful portrayal Of
this great peak of the Puget sound coun-
try She is now at work on a long illus
trated poem entitled "Waunenah," the
name borne by an Indian seeress renowned
among the Menominees. This poem will
Eoon be published, as it is now in the
hands of the printers.
Mrs. Price is "A pleasing looking woman.
She is a pronounced brunette. Although
somewhat retiring, she bears herself with
ease, grace and dignity.

be added that in the directory the prince
appears as Michael Mills John the Baptist
as ID. w. Taylor and Lucifer as f. II. Du
rand, while the nine angels are women
who have followed the missionaries from
various places
As is quite fitting, Lucifer is the smart
man of the outfit, for he is treasurer and
the converts hand over their money to him
whenever he asks for it. The Disciples
now occupy five houses on Hamlin avenue
and are going to build a great brotherhood
house. There are also little colonies at
various places in Ohio, Indiana and Can
ada who are to gather in when the time
comes, for in a little while the millenia
wind up begins and only the IA, 600 whose

All this they deduce from IA few texts in
Daniel, JerCniah and Zechariah, but the
latest heavenly information rests chiefly
on the revelations of James j. Jezreel,

Testaments" Reduced to it's lowest terms

the old Ten Lost Tribes" business over

reappeared in the shape of Englishmen and
Americans.
OF course such fanatics are more or less
at loggerheads with their neighbors, and
on two or three occasions only police vigi-
lance has saved Prince Michael from mobs.
A few years ago he was just an ignorant
molder at Elgin, Ont. He was first
awakened by Mormon missionaries, but

Japan's Wonderful Clock.

A remarkable clock in Japan is made to
represent MONDAY landscape of great
beauty. 1t is in Il frame three feet wide
and five feet long. Plum and cherry trees
and rich plants in full bloom appear in the
foreground. Behind them rises a hill of
gradual ascent. Down its sides flows a
stream made of crystal, which loses itself
in far off woodland. In the sky there is
a sun turning on a silver wire and strik-
ing the hours on a silver bell as it passes
on its course. a creeping tortoise marks
each hour. At the end of each hour a
bird with beautiful plumage sings IA song
at its close mouse appears at the en-
trance of Grotto, and, scampering ovei

A Trick of Vision.

An old trick which illustrates the ease
with which the eyes may be deceived, is
going the rounds just now. 1t is to meas
ure by the eye the distance to which you
must push away the central one of three
silver dollars side by side, their circumfer-
ence touching, so that the distance from the
lower edge of the central coin so removed
shall be equal to the distance apart of the
outer edges of the other two coins You
will probably do as every one else does
put the coins side by side and push the
middle one upward along the table until
you think you have done rash thing by
pushing it so far. When you measure you
will find out. It's an old perversity of the
eve.

Properly combined they
are better than lard for all

everyone can eat, digest,

they can make nicer bread,
