Utah and Its Onyx.

"The only industry in Utah is
gradually becoming an infant Of
large proportions, said A. G. Taylor
of Salt Lake City. For years the ex.
istence of onyx beds in the Territory
has been known, but it was not until
last year that syndicate obtained
possession Of three large claims neaI
Pelican Point and began quarrying
the beautiful stone. Three distinct
veins in broad slabs of ten to four
teen inches in thickness are being
successfully worked. The supply
seems to be inexhaustible. The onyx
is taken out in rough blocks or slabs,

ance. From one to three carloads
is the present output.
g The polishing works are in Salt
Lake. The rough slabs are squared ur
and sawed to their proper thickness.
Then they are placed on rapidly re.
volving grinding machines and
worked with sand and water. Next
the slabs are polished by hand SINH.

the finishing touches are put on by a
furnishing machine and the surface
made as smooth as glass, and all the
natural beauty of the stoneis shown.
The finished product is white and
yellow in color, Forty men are at
present employed in the works, but
this number will be doubled in short
time. The proprietors expect to
compete with the Mexican onyx, be-
ing confident that the superiority OF
the Utah product will win in the
competition.-[St, Louis Globe-Demo-

SHEEP KILLING DOGS INcURABLE.

When dog begins to kill sheep he
never quits. A reformed dog has never
been heard of. If he gets too old to
catch or handle sheep, he has been
known to be the leader of younger
dogs which he has trained to the bust
ness. A dog with a good record in
in his own neighborhocd has often
been the unknown terror of farmers
five or six miles away. 1t has been
observed .hat sheep killing dogs show
greater cunning in these midnight
raids upon focks than ct any other
time of their lives. They seem to
think it is better to go from home and
keep up good reputation. American

Pupils who take lessons of an incom-
petent teacher for several years and aft
erward study with a thorough teacher
always find that they are obliged to 90
back to the beginning. The instruction
q they have received has too often beer
worse than no instruction at all, and
time and money have been wasted. All
this might have been avoided if the pu-
pill had been more careful in selecting a
thorough teacher at the beginning.
Pupils who have been taking lessons
for a year or two and do not know the
difference between the legato and STAG
cato touch and play pieces and do not
know what key they are written in should
know that there is something wrong and
should find out as soon as possible wheth-
er the fault is theirs or their teachers.
If it is the former, they had better begin
TO use their brains as well as their fingers
in practicing, but if it is the latter they
mad better change teachers, says The
Etude.

TABLEcLoTHs AND NAPKINS.
White Linen Always Appropriate-Styls
For Home Use and For Company.

White Linen Always Appropriate-Style
For Home Use and For Company.
Every housewife takes deep interest
in the table linen, and fortunately she
may give free rein to her fancy in this
portion of her realm, whatever fashion
may dictate in other directions. If for
any reason this tablecloth or that set of
napkins commend themselves to her fa-
vor, they may be purchased and used for
all ordinary occasions. Naturally she
will have special cloth, with napkins
to match, to be brought forward on the
more ceremonious occasions.
The size of the tablecloth must be de-
termined in a general way by that of the
table, says Good Housekeeper, authority
for the following: Where an extension is
used there should be one cloth large
enough for the table when all of the
leaves are in place, but such a spread
would be entirely out of place when half
of the surface had been taken away, and
smaller cloths should be provided OF
proper size for the ordinary use. While
any approved pattern may be purchased
it is generally a mistake to select fancy
colored linens. The white is always
standard, looks we'll and will be in fash.
ion, but as much cannot be said for the
colors, which may be popular one season
and entirely under the ban within year
Tablecloths may be b5ught either
woven and finished complete or by the
yard. For kitchen tables, and not infre
quently for general use, the latter is aI
entirely satisfactory way, while it is de
cidedly more economical. The ends may
be secured by simple hem or finished
in any approved manner, and some very
pleasing effects may be Produced by the
housekeeper skilled in such work anC
having little spare time which may bt
thus employed.
The napkin is now indispensable at al
we'll regulated tables. Breakfast nap
kins are considered of the right size i
half a yard square, but for dinner they
should be three-quarters of yard. Be
sides the tableCloths and napkins thert
are numerous bits Of linen connected
with the table service which will b
found useful, and most of which can b.
readily made from linen remnants tina
may be bought for a trife or from tn
