IT is sad to see the genial Col. In
gersoll declaring against crinoline.
The declaration seems entirely out
of harmony with the great agnostic's
usual liberality of view. But he ap-
pears to think that hoop skirts would
obstruct public thoroughfares and
conveyances, and thus come under
the law. And he draws an irresisti-
bly, funny picture of himself shining
up a telegraph pole to avoid being
swept into the gutter by all-invading
crinoline. Good gracious, Colonel!
Did you never hear of the telescope
hoop, which shuts up with noiseless
dexterity when the wearer approaches

mime invention was not equal to a
little emergency like that?

AN Iowa woman has received a
verdict for $15, 900 from the Illinois
Central Railroad for the killing of
her husband, who had been a brake
man. The award is the largest ever
made in that State in suit of the
kind, and one of the largest on record.
A few such verdicts will teach rail-
road managers the utility of adopt
ing safety appliances. Managers may
even see the time when an automatic
coupler of uniform pattern will be
looked upon by them as an excellent
investment. When employees are
rated at SIS, 600, their slaughter is ex-
pensive, and makes inroads upon the
company's Golfers that at once appeal
to the corporations nearest approach
to soul.

THERE is no fear that Massachusetts
will 60 astray in the solution of her
roads question. The State Highway
Commission appointed by Governor
Russell is doing it's work in thor
Ough and effective way, and there is
enough intelligence and thrift in
Massachusetts to forbid anything but
a popular approval Of any we'll de-
vised scheme for the general improve
ment Of country roads, and for the
appropriation of sufficient means to
make this improvement a general
and permanent one. It is safe to say
that the legislative work to which
the law makers of Massachusetts will
now direct their attention will prove
both interesting and instructive.

Mr.. mcknight, who being relative
of Brigham, dwelt at one time in the
Lion House, morning prayer was held
in the large family parlor. The
prophets bell would be heard re-
echoing through the long hallway as
the clock struck the hour and every
body was required to be present I'M
less kept away by some good or sutfi-
Gent cause. 1t was wonderful sight
to see flock Of ten or twelve chill
dren Of about the same age run to
his knees for the family salute and to
note how he had a kiss and playful
word for each. Among his wives and
children he was regarded with some
thing akin to awe, but an awe that
was accompanied by profound re-
spect. All the wives addressed him
and spoke of him as Brother Brig
ham," The children of the various
wives mingled together like own
brothers and sisters and some of the
strongest friendships in the family
grew up between the daughters or
the sons of different wives.
Brigham died in 1877 in his 18th
year. He left a fortune Of $4,000
900, seventeen wives and t1fty-six
children.

The death of General Beauregard
is an event in the history of the coun-

ters as milestones mark the progress

The Union army had but one full
general, and he, Grant, was made
such only about the time when the
war closed. The title was continued
for Sherman and Sheridan, and be-
came extinct with the death of the
latter. The Confederate army had a
number Of full generals, including
Lee, Joseph e. Johnston. StoneWall

the great Southern military leaders,

gineer on the American continent,
and was but little if any inferior to
the great European masters of engi-
neering science.

From that time Brigham was the

Weather Waste of Soft Coal.

The weather waste of soft coal being
a settled fact, an allowance for its
loss is to be taken inuo account by the
large consumers. The loss, as scien-
tifically stated, is due to the oxida-
tion taking place during the ex-
posure of the coal, the result being a
lessened heating capacity. From a
careful and continued series of ex-
periments made in Europe it has been
found that as result of exposure to
the weather, though anthracite and
camel coal suffer but little, the
ordinary bituminous coal depreciates
nearly one-third in weight, and

ORIGIN OF PLUM DUFF.
How the Favorite Dish of Sailors Receive
It's Name.

HOW the EayOf1Ge DISH OF Sailors tkeCcLVeu
Its Name.
There are many traditions respect
ing the origin Of the name "Plum
Duff" the great holiday dish of
sailors. No feast on shipboard is
considered perfect without it. Ac-
cording to the story given in the his
tory of the British navy, an English
brig in the South Pacific was caught
in a series Of awful hurricanes. All
on board were anxious to reach port
in time for Christmas, but the holt
day found them still off the Navi-
gator Islands. Worst of all, they
had shipped a sea that carried away
the hencoop containing a few chick
ems. When the cook saw the Christ
mas dinner floating in the lee soup
pers and in danger of going over
board he made a gallant charge down
the slippery, sloppy deck to recover
it, but at that moment great wave
broke high over the bulkWarks, broke
with resistleSs fury on the very spot
where he stood, and when it sub
sided cook and chickens had both dis
appeared
This unfortunate accident left the
crew not only without a Christmas
dinner, but without any one to pre-
pare an ordinary meal. The sailors
were heartily sick of bareback, and
remembered with longing the famous
plum pudding of Merrie England.
They determined that somehow they
must have a Christmas pudding, and
drew lots as to who should be cook.
The choice fell on the boatswain's
mate, a brawny son of the Emerald
Isle. In the galley he found an old
cookbook. This he solemnly pored
over in search of something prom
Using, but for lack of skill or materials
found nothing he dared venture
upon. At last he settled upon a
recipe which began, snake stiff
dough-" When he reached the word
dough he said to himself, "If Rough
spells ruff, dough spells duff" So
he made the pudding, putting in
some fine Malaga raisins, and served
it out with a generous quantity Of
rich sauce The sailors hailed it with
delight and appreciation. "What
dye call it?" they asked. "Plum
duff" said the proud cook. And plum
duff it has remained from that day
to this. -Manchester Times.

God had made a mistake and still re-
tanned his faith. Persecution in Mis-
souri, soon drove the saints to Illinois,
and at NauvOo they established
fourishing city. BY the close of the
1910 nearly 20, 900 Mormons were set
tied in and about Nauvoo. Brigham
had become President of the Twelve
Apostles, while Smith was in the sew
enth heaven of ecstasy over his sue
cess. Blind with triumph he an
nounced himself in 1914 a candidate
for the Presidency of the United
States, and then followed his assaS-
sination at Carthage. This brought
Brigham to the front and he became
the leader of the movement.
1t was critical time. An agita-
ton for the expulsion of the Mormons
from Illinois had sprung up and per-
secution was rife against them. Brig
ham began preparations for the exodus
which was inevitable. The first of
band of pioneers was dispatched to
open up the way to the Great Salt
valley. They established camps and
planted crops for the shelter and sup
port of the oncoming thousands.
Meantime the charter of Nauvoo had
been repealed by the Illinois Legisla-
ture, the city was bombarded and the
Mormons were forced out. In 1S47

TIE case of DR.. Thatcher Graves

ris in New York nearly resemble that
Of Mrs. Maybrick in England Mrs
Barnaby, the alleged victim of Dr.
Graves, died from the effects Of poi
son in drink from bottle of WHISKY
sent to her from the East, which was
traced to DR.. Graves. But it appears
at the trial that the poisoned bottle
had been in possession of two or
three different persons before it came
into the hands of the murdered
woman. In the case Of Harris wife,
who died from an overdose Of NOR
phine. it was shown in evidence that
she partook habitually Of that poison,
but Harris was convicted on the
ground that he bad administered
the increased dose which proved fatal.
In the case of Mrs. Maybrick it was
shown that her husband had the
arsenic habit Arsenic in various
forms was about the house in which
they resided. He may have taken
the poison without any conspiracy or
continuance of his wife. In each of
these cases there appears to have been
the reasonable doubt in law which
should have prevented conviction.

THE killing of a young woman al

THE killing of young woman at
San Diego by another young woman
who had "playfully" pointed a gun at
her is but another instance of Grim
inal stupidity SO gross as to be wholly
without excuse. There is an appal-
ling list Of murders due to this habit
of "playfully' pointing guns. Guns
were not made to play with. 1t is,
in fact, difficult to believe that any
one would point gun at a friend and
pull the trigger in a playful spirit
unless the offender was at least in
part imbecile. No one poisons food
in jest, Or loosely throws vitriol.
There should be a heavy punishment
melted out to the pointers of guns. 1t
is true that after having slain a

greet their acts, but this neither
mends the matter nor suggests to
other weak-minded individuals hav-
ing access to guns the desirability Of
refraining from slaughter.

working as a farm hand, carpenter,
joiner, painter and glazier. When
