r,vevtion Can supply No Substitutes Fss
whaiebone or Teazel.
With all our boosted labr saving
machinery and modern inventions there
are numerous articles entering into the
economy of manufacture which seem
crude and simple, but which defy I'M
provement.
Nc one, for instance, has ever been
able 10 find a substitute for w~halebone.
With the diminution of the supply and
the enormously increased cost OF the ar
ticle. scores of inventors have turned
their attention to the article and at
tempted to supply a substitute, but up
TO the present time nothing as durable,
tough and pliable as whalebone has re-
suited.
Another article without which no
wooden manufacturer could prepare
certain goods for the market Is the tea
eel II is absolutely essential IN rails
inr a nap on cassimeres and soft wool
en- fabrics. and although scores OF imi-
tatiou ~teazles have been invented none
is found to give the satisfaction OF the
odd little burr, with its stiff little
hooks. which is so extensively exported
and cultivated for the cloth finishing
trade.
Persons who have never seen a teaZel
can imagine "a fur cone, set all ove'
with little barbs. 1t is really a burr,
or flower head, OF thistle top OF tht
plant dipsacus, and so identified Is Il
with cloth dressing, and so long n Sc
general has been the use of the teaze
COR the purpose mentioned, that 1t =
even reflected in its botanical namr
Dipsacus fullonum, or fuller teaZel.
However familiar the teazel may b'
to persons familiar with wooden manu-
facture. or to those who live in coun
tries where il is extensively cultivated
the fact remains that the great mayor
ity Of persons have never heard Of sue
an article and will be astonished I
learn in what enormou quantities the,
are raised.
Is In France alone 6, 900 acres of Ian
are exclusively devoted to the cultIya

"pOp. e S MAMMA"

I've heard the prayers of many lands.
In forests dim. on desert sands,
And on the wild. tumultuous ocean,
When waves were rolling mountain high
To hear the storm kings sullen cry
And flashing in a restless motion
The lightning leaped across the sky.
I've heard Quick prayers in battles dread,
When many precious souls were sped
In dtful CLEAN of sullen flashing
Through reclining rift of angry blade
Or rent by doleful bullets made,
Or shells demoniacal crashing
Through trembling wood and war swept
glade.
But sweetest of all prayers I've heard
sweeter than song of spring glad bird.
And purer than the soul of roses
Eager to deck the brow of May,
when life Is young and hearts are gay,
And such fond mem'ry now discloses
Unto the shining smile of day
A little angel ROBBED in white.
Upou the threshold Of the night
And by q mother fondly k%ueelinC,
With folded hands and dropping head
And low voice, curying lips OF red,
The stainless soul in thought revealing,
And, 10, the loving message sped
bod. b'ess mammal.
What purer prayer can rise above
To realms Of the immortal love
That over al! its watch i Neeping.
No motter where We wand or
Drift far from harbor and from shore
Where those who love I, wait in Neeplns
Or dream they hear our sp, once more
God grant that we who al! and die,
Fer the swift moments ease 10 ny

To him who said. "Fo' Id them not"
And gathers them y rn gentle heedlns

Ottinger Has Conn
pIeted His Report.

plClcu his ILcpOEts
AdJutant- General Ottinger has COM
pleted his report to the secretary Of
war and will send 1T away in q day or
so. The report IS not very extensive
in character, but contains a valuable
lot Of information in small space.
The general staff is shown to be as
follows; Aides-de-camp 2; adjutant-
general, /; Inspector general, 1; judge
advocates, 1; quaGteruna general, 1;
commissarfes-gen 1; surgeons-gen-
eral, 1. Total, 8. There are three troops
Of cavalry in the Guard, two batteries
Of light artillery and sixteen cempan-
les Of Infantry. In addition, there is q
signal corps. The number of enlisted
men is given at 1,004, which together
with the officers makes a, total of 1,0S0
men in the Guard, all Of whom are
thoroughly equipped.
In summarizing the work the Guard
has done since its organization, Gener-
al Ottinger mentions the so-called In
dIuStrial army" and relates the service
of the troops ait Ogden and at Provo.
In this service, companies A, B, and G,
of the First infantry, were at Ogden
from April Stlh to April 18TH. Battery
A of this city also performed service
during the same period with a Calling
gun, battery B of Ogden doing duty as

terry A served two days, from May 18th
to May 18th, with companies a and B,
First infantry.

A COUNTER CLAIM.
A Case Disposed of in Justice Gees
Court.

Case Disposed of in Justice Gees
Court.
A very important case for a, Justices
court has been pending in the courts
of Justices Lochrie and Gee for the last
week, the action being that of the
Kelley Institute of Salt Lake VS.. A. G.
Bast, suit being brought against the
defendant to collect certain amount
alleged to be due for board and lodg-
ing. The bill was alleged to have been
contracted during the early part of
1893. As sort of answer and cross
complaint the defendant set up that he
was at the institute at the solicitation
OF DR.. Grove, the resident. physician,
and THAT further he had acted as man
ager during that persons absence.
When the case was called in the court
of the first named Justice, the defense
asked for a change of venue, which was
granted. and the case was sent to Jus
tice Gee. The testimony given ait the
trial was to the effect that Mr.. Bast
was right, and that as acting manager
he was entitled to something for his
services. The claim was that 500 per
month was a little high, so the salary
was cut to SIS per month, and Bast
given Judgment for s35 and costs.

The Stock Market.

Under date of Dec. %, James A. Pol
lock, the broker, reports as follows:
Notwithstanding the dullness in the
stock market that is usually manifes-
ted during the mid-holiday season, the
business transacted in the closing days
Of the week just ended has far exceed
ed the most sanguine expectations.
The inquiries and orders from the
east maintained their volume, and the
local trading proved very satisfactory.
1 think all this points to a moderate
boom in January.
The desire to invest idle money seems
to be strong enough to counteract the
depressing influence that the lowering
price of silver is producing in the
minds of many investors. Certainly
the silver problem is a very vexatious
one, and too serious to be carelessly
set aside or disregarded. 1t stands as
a perpetual menace to the mining in
dustry, and is inflicting a sagging ten
dency in the stocks of all companies
putting forth this metal as the main
or sole product.
