ton, practicing pedal. graduating soft
pedal. The case is handsomely finished
in mahogany. The Blasius piano has
boon highly endorsed by such world
wide celebrities as 4. L. Guile, Marie
Tempest, Thomas A. Edison and
Lillian Russell, and many of the leading
families of the United States have the
instrument in their households, anon g
them being Mrs. Grover Cleveland,
the late Mrs Benz Harrison, Mrs.
George w. Childs and many others.
There is no doubt but large number of
these pianos will lie placed in southern

that was once part of the old Dalton
farm that Zellman struck his pick into
cavity. Investigation revealed a sort
CT stone-lined well not more than six
feet deep, which had been covered over
and concealed. There was a foot Of
clean cold water at the bottom, in
which stood an old-fashioned glazed
earthenware jar, with the lid sealed
tightly on with wax. 1t was not with
out some difficulty that the jar was
opened, but it was finally done by
forcing it with the edge of a spade. The
men had expected to see treasure of
some kind and were surprised, not to
say disappointed, when only bright yell
low peaches met their gaze. The fruit
was perfectly preserved. Zellman
claimed the prize by right of discovery,
and his family dcvoured the contents
OF the jar, about two quarts, without re-
gard to historic value. Close by the
covered we'll is the now leveled site of
the old Dalton farmhouse, abandoned
early in thetpresent century. How the
good wife who put up the peaches hap
pened to forget them in the spring is
more than can be told, nor does Zellman
greatly care. ":'

How to Handle the Family Wash

How to Handle the Family Wash.
The laundry work, one of the most
important of our domestic tasks, is, as
a rule, left entirely to the management
of unframed household servants. And
being unframed, they naturally select
the most difficult way of doing what,
under proper conditions, should be easy
work. The person responsible for the
family wash should really understand a
certain amount of chemistry, in order
to preserve the coloring in different
fabrics, and to understand how to re-
move stains and various spots. To
prevent the fannels from shrinkage
she should know the condition and
character of the fiber of wool, and the
difference between that and the fiber
of cotton. If the coloring matter in
colored garment is acid an alkaline
soap will dissolve or neutralze it, and
the garment will come from the wash
entirely faded. The average housewife
returns to the laundry all articles i'm
properly laundered, but she fails to
pin to each article little suggestion of
how they may be made better, with the
result that the articles are returned
again the next week in exactly the
same unsatisfactory condition.-Ladies'

to spare.
lie had saucy up-turned nose and likewise
SANDY" hair
And all the neighbors chided him for all
the mischief done.
But "Ah, gowan!' was the response he
gave to everyone.
He hardly ever went to school, he didn't
have the time:
lie had so many brooks to wade, SO many
trees to climb.
So many funny boats to sail and waterfalls
to build,
With all these more important things his
busy mind was filled. ,
And sunday-school and church to him were
not Joy, alas!
If left to his desires he would calmly let
them pass.
lie hated rules Of conduct and was nearly
always seized
With an immense desire to be doing as he
pleased.
There used to be water-mill about mile
away
Where Casey's little boy would go and loiter
every day.
lie loved to watch the water as it hurried
through the race,
And scores Of other pleasures seemed to
center in the place.
One day the miller's little girl fell in the
rushing stream
AS Casey's little boy came by and heard
her frightened scream.
He dove beneath the wave and brought her
safely to the bank
Just as his own poor strength gave out He
tottered back and sank
The funeral was very large and everybody
cried
And took their grief to heart as though
their dearest friend had died
And now they've built a monument that
time cannot destroy,
Which says: Here Lies Hero" meaning

ireland and Holland Have the Most
Woaaen Engaged in This Work.
Though Ireland to-day holds the first
place, so far as America is concerned, in
regard to linens, Holland occupied that
position everywhere in the past, and
holds it to-day in many parts of Europe,
says the Philadelphia Press. The very
word Holland is employed to designate
fine linen cloth or linen and cotton
cloth, and has been used for this purpose
from time immemorial. It is both
glazed and unglazed, and used for wear
ing the household decoration. Flax
grows well in that part of Europe, aud
the sunlight is said to be brighter and
to have more power in bleaching in the
low countries than elsewhere. The
linen industry is carried on in Holland
more by women than by men. In the
fields there are almost as many female
as male cultivators. In the harvesting
there is an excess of women.
In the many processes, such as lining,
heckling and spinning, the women out
numbered the men three to one. In the
mills the women are in the majority.

UTE WAR TEN YEARS AGO.
A Battle That Cost the Government,
&SO,314.72.

A Battle That Cost the Government
$SO,314.72.
The last attempt to forcibly convince
the Utes of the majesty of the Colorado
law cost just $so,a14.72, when all the
bills were allowed, exclusive of interest,
which has since piled up to quite for
tune within itself. Two whites were
killed and four wounded. This hap
pened in August, 1887, when all the
White River valley was included in Gar
field county.
Under their treaty the Utes could &C.
cupy the unsettled part of their old res
ervation, not only for hunting ground,
but to pasture their herds of ponies,
goats and cattle. This privilege they
used to the utmost, and they became
very undesirable neighbors for the
whites, who were just occupying the
country themselves.
A young Ute buck gambling for
ponies designated as stake horse be-
longing to white man. He lost, and
when the winner went to take the pony
and found that it was not his warrant
was sworn out for the Ute on charge
of horse stealing. Arrest was resisted,
the Utes scuttled into the hills and the
sheriff's posse was swelled by every
man in the country that could carry
a gun.
The Utes knew every inch of the hills,
and the whites knew OILY the valley
trails. No one knew ~aere the Utes
were and terror seized the whole re-
gion, every ranchman feeling that a
band of hostiles might sweep down
upon him at any moment.
Urgent appeals were sent to Gov.
Alva Adams, who is governor now, show
ing such condition of affairs that the
whole state militia force was sent into
the field. U2ited States troops were
sent from Fort Duchesne, too.
The military found the Indians at the
mouth of Miller creek, but while COM
plicated military strategy was in prog
ress the Utes stole away. Next day
scouts found them at the forks of White
river, WHERE Buford post Office is now.
There WA lively running fight, in
which tho only casualties of the war"
occurred as before enumerated.
Then the Utes, minus from seven to
twenty Of their men-no one knows
how many--abandoned their f1ocks and
raced back TO Utah. The settlers took
in the ponies and cattle, the goats were
left to the mountain lions, and the
Utes abandoned the idea of anything
more than brief and fugitive visits to
Colorado. Colorow, after craving per-
mission of the whites, paid a last regret
full visit to the White River valley and
then died in his lodge in Utah. Since
then the Utes, though bad-tempered
enough, have had no leader whose name
bore any terror to white ears and so
have avoided any collisions, sneaking
in and out by unfrequented ways

SUBSTITUTES FOR PRAYING.
Parrots and Prayer Wheels Among
the kalmuck TartarH.

INC
Finally, if you spend most of your
time. as did, among the natives on the
hurricane deck, Your attention will be
attracted by third-class of worshipers.
namely, the Kalmuck Tartars. who live
in felt tents or kibitkas (kee-beet-kas)
along the lower Volga, and who wander,
with great herds of cattle and camels,
over the steppes of eastern Europe and
western Asia. These fat-faced, ill.,
looking nomads are all Buddhists; and
not only do they pray, but they may
fairly claim the credit of having re-
duced devotion to science. Praying
five times a day, as the Mohammedans
do, or even twice ii day. aftrr the Gus
tom of the fire worshipcrs. seems to
have been too severe tax upon the
energies of the original Buddhists, and
they set their ingenuity at work to
devise some means of lessening the
labor. The first expedient that occurred
to them was teaching parrots to pray
and then claiming the credit of the.
prayers thus said by proxy. This
answered the purpose very we'll at first.
but teaching parrots was troublesome,
and besides that the parrots. in spite
Of all precautions, would occasionally
pick up scraps OF profane learning,
which they intermingled with their
devotions in a manner not at all edify
ing. So the Buddhists finally aban-
doned the instruction of parrots and
calling in the aid Of applied science in
vented the prayer wheel. Nobody, it
seems to me. but the LATEST of Asiatics
would ever have thought of introducing
labor-saving machinery into the realm
of the spiritual: but the Buddhists not
only thought of it, but put the idea
promptly into execution. The prayer
wheel used by the Kalmuck Tartars on
the lower Volga is a small wooden cylin-
der six or eight inches in length and
about two inches in diameter, turning
upon a vertical axis, the lower end of
which is extended and thickened to
form handle. This cylinder is stuffed
full of short, written prayers, and every
time it is turned upon its axis all the
prayers that it contains are regarded
as duly said. Could anything be more
simple unsatisfactory There lis no shut
ting of the eyes, no getting down on the
knees in uncomfortable positions, no
facing in any particular direction. All
that the prayer has to do is to give his
wheel twirl ana it grinds out prayers
with rapidity and fluency which leaves
nothing to be desired. But from an
occidental point of view the whole per-
Torrance is, of course, an absurdity. I
should feel some respect for the prayers
of the Mohammedans and of the fire
worshipers, but the wooden wheels of
the kalmuck Tartars excited only con-
temptuous amusement.-George Ken
man, in N. Y. Independent. -.

were respectively filed with ordinary
river water, and the same water after
carbonic acid has passed through it for
few minutes, and after the addition
of sufficient lime to just neutralize the
carbonic acid. The vessels were sealed
by mercury from contact by the air,
and after the lapse of certain time the
iron dissolved in each case was deter
mined. In the first case the water
had dissolved about 0.O0O3 per cent;
in the second, o.oo per cent, while in
the third only traces of iron could be
discerned. The water in the second
case was clear, but on standing ex-
posed to the air ferric oxide separated.
1t was therefore inferred that waters
containing carbonic acid and very little
lime dissolved iron as ferrous carbon
ate. The latter is then decoDlposed by
the oxygen of the air, and ferric oxide
is deposited and carbonic acid formed.
The latter can again attack the iron,
and thus water containing little car
bonic acid may have powerful &C.
ton upon iron pipes.
