certainty could tell who the
father was, while there was no
mistake i'll regard to who the mother
wGS.
Children were often betrothed
when very young and sacredly
watched and guarded by their pa
rents from entering into courtship
with any others than those chosen
for them.
Having said 60 much on native
customs and traditions, l will now
write little of my personal ex-
perience from my journal Of 1852.
One day number of us elders
went up into Canyon to engage
in secret prayers: we formed cir
Gle and was about to engage in our
prayers when We we're suddenly
startled by hearing laundering
noise. On looking up we saw
large rock of tons weight rolling
down the mountain towards us, but
before reaching us it broke all in
to pieces doing no harm. We
thought this incident very strange
and that some unseen agent desired
to prevent the elders from praying.
Sat. Oct 9th. Last night I
dreamed that / was naked and my
body covered with honey. Bees
came and lit on my body and suck
ed the honey. There came 50
many and they sucked so hard,
that it seemed to me they would
draw my very insides out, and it
gave me such pain that it awak-
ened me, when l could still feel
the pain in my bowels.

stead of the country being drained
of its last nickel to send
abroad for that which can be man
ufactured at home.
There are many other industries
that could be established in our
vicinity, with profit and benefit.
There are HUNDREDS Of pounds of
rope brought into Utah, yearly,
and an industry in that line, would
be a benefit to the people. The
material to manufacture rope from
can be easily grown in our midst,
and we believe that the fiber of
the different varities of Dose could
be utilized very proftably, in the
manufacture of rope. In the early
years of Dixie, the natives use to
manufacture a very .serviceable
rope out of the fiber of the milk
weed or wild spurge.
There are thousands of yards of
carpet imported, yearly, that ought
to be produced at home.
There is an abundance of iron
ore III the hills and iron foundries
ought to be established and pro-
duce the hardware that is needed.
Ifmoneyed men are not able to
go to and establish industries to
benefit the people and stop many
of the continual drains of money
that is daily leaving our state, let
parties cooperate and form COM
panies and let us have more home
and less foreign products.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
(Continued)

When Captain Cook first an
chored at the islands, it was in the
night. " hen morning came the
natives, for the first time, saw
white man. They were called
smoking volcanoes. Their speech
unknown, their heads horned, like
the moon, the natives / believing
the sailors hats was part of
the head. In their sides were
doors (pockets) into which they
put their hands and drew out va
rious articles-knives, tobacco, etc.,
and their skins (clothes) Loose.
In 1920 the first missionaries
with their wives landed at the is
lands to christianize the natives.
This was the first white women
they ever saw. The natives said
their faces were round and white
and they wore hats with spouts and
their faces far in. This was so
wonderful to see that the natives
followed the women, peering under
their bonnets and feeling their
dresses, which the natives called
loose skins, and took liberties in
examining and handling their
dresses, which was permitted, as
no offence was intended. When
them issionaries commenced their
labors and engaged in prayers clos
ing their eyes, as were their custom,
the natives were frightened, and
they fled, for fear, thinking they
were being prayed to death.
TWAS believed by the Hawaiians
that they had 2 souls, one of which
remained with the body after death,
the other went to Pc "a place of
darkness or mighty, the other had
power to come back with messages
to their living friends, telling who
should have possession OF their
personal effects or property, even
visiting their friends living on
another island, who knew nothing
of the death of their friend or rela-
tive, as the case might be.

Notwithstanding our people
have been instructed to prepare
themselves to become self-reliant,
from almost our earliest recollect-
ions, we believe there are more of
the necessities of daily life import
ed into our midst today, than there
were years ago, and there is less
inclination to foster and encourage
home institutions that would ma
terially aid us to become self
supporting.
True, we have a number of cot
ton and wooden factories in our
midst, but we think we are safe
when we assert that they are not
encouraged to that extent that they
ought to be. Even the Factory at
Washington, in the past, have had
to import cotton from the east, be-
cause our people have not had in
terest enough in it's welfare to
plant sufficient to supply that much
needed article, to keep it's spindles
running the year round. The
people at the small town of Bunker
vile, have generally done more. in
proportion, if we are not mistaken,
than the whole of Washing ton
County, towards supplying the
Factory with cotton, and have found
it remunerative, while those who
are 10th to cultivate cotton are pat
ronizing the foreign product of
Cloth, in it's various forms, allow
ing what little cash they do get to
be carried out Of the country, in
payment therefor, and are all the
time becoming poorer.
What is needed, is reform as
we'll as consolidation, and our farm
ers need to turn over a new leaf,
60 to and plant an abundance of
cotton, that our Factory can he
supplied and kept running the
year round, instead of it's being
obliged to work eastern material or
stand idle. A nice suit Of Home
made clothes is much preferable
than a suit of shoddy or other for
eign goods, as we then have the
satisfaction of knowing that it is
the product of our home people,
and what we pay for it, is used in
building up our own country, in

A PRAYER For Girls.

You ask for a little prayer. Here is one
written by Jeremy Taylor in his effort to
teach the,world what was meant by holy
living: Teach me to watch over all my
ways, that | may never be surprised by
sudden temptations or a careless spirit,
nor ever return To folly and vanity Set n
watch o Lord, before my mouth and
keep the door of my lips, that offend not
in my tongue neither against piety or
charity Teach me to think of nothing
but thee and what is in order to thy glory
and service, TO speak but of thee and thy
glories and to do nothing but what be-
comes thy servant, whom thy infinite
mercy, by the grace of thy Holy Spirit, hath
sealed up to the day of redemption. -
