high state of cultivation.
The people of this country had
at one time great source OF rev.
enue from stock-raising. All the
towns were dependent on the
country for their beef, pork, NUT
ton, kid, venison, ETC., and this
section of the State furnished the
large portion of such food. But
the railroads have put all of our
markets near the great stuck-rals-
ing West, from which the towns
can obtain their fresh meats as
cheap as they can from our,wire-.
grass section, and'lt' is claimed to
be better. This competition has
stopped: stock-~rnising in this

Those Who Write.

issue of the famous Bah Ballads. with

Richard Harding Davis has finished
his dramatization of The Soldier Of
Fortune, and read the manuscript to
Mr.. Charles Frohman.at whose sugges-
ton the novel was made into a play.
He awaits Mr.. Frohmans verdict
While literature certainly pays mar
velously well in England, literary men
do occasionally go outside of lltera-
ture to make money. a case in point
Is that Of Mr.. George II. Simms, who,
though hardly n man of letters, is cer-
tainly prolific and popular writer.
1t seems that Mr.. Sims was once bald,
and now he is not. The connection
used by him to restore his hair was
made from a receipt which he pos
sesses. The restoration was SO mar
velous that he organized "A company
and is putting his nostrum on the mar
ket. The novelty of the writer becom-
ing a patent medicine man has at
tracted wide attention in England and
given MIR. Sims more advertising than
he could get by any other means. so
that he now stands n chance OF max
ing more money than he has ever made
out of literature.

The Stake superintendency of the
Young Mems Mutual Improvement
Association of the Salt Lake Stake met
with ward officers of the county dis
trict at the Murray school house Friday
evening. The opening prayer was Of
fered by President w. H. Brown of
Hunter ward. Roll call showed that
there were thlrty-three members pres

alike When 1t was decided that these
meetings should be held monthly 1t
became the duty of every president to
see that his association Ind at least one
representative at each meeting. In or
der for the best results to be accom-
pllshed II would be necessary for the
Stake SUPPLEMENTARY and the ward

A Novelist Not to be Believed.

Irish Weekly Times; A curious anec-
dote was once told Of one OF the chief
officials in the general postoliice who
held the highest rank among our writ
ers OF fiction. Passing from his room
at the postofilce through an open door,
he distinctly saw n letter sorter alb
stract a sovereign from letter and put
II into his pocket. The man was given
into custody. committed to prison, and
brought to trial. The only witness
was the gentleman who saw the theft
committed. At the close OF the eN-
animation for the prosecution, the
counsel for the prisoner thus addressed
the witness: II believe. sir, besides
holding an appointment in the post
office, you are n popular author The
reply was In the affirmative. Pray.
sir, what may be the class of books You
wrlte?" Works of Rnaginatlon."
works of Imagination, fiction. lies2'
Pray, sir, how long IL 1t since you first
began to gain your livelihood in part
by such nm occupation" Mine years"
"Your mother. 1 believe. was also an
author, and wrote similar books. May
] ask for how many years she gained
a livelihood by doing so?" Twenty"
Then. turning to the jury, the counsel
said: Gentlemen, am sure no Brit
ish Jury will convict the prisoner upon
the unsupported evidence of person
who comes here and tells you that he
has for nine years gained a great part
of his livelihood by telling lies, and
that his mother before him had fol-
lowed the same calling for 20 years"
Notwithstanding the Judges summing
up. the Jury Is said to have acquitted
the prisoner. probably never having
heard the great novelist's name till he
appeared in the witness box.

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.
Something About the Way In Which They
Are Made.

The ancient Egyptians made artificial
flowers of horn shavings, stained In vari-
GUS colors, and leaves Of painted linen have
been found In tombs at Thebos. From u
remote period the Chinese have used tho
plth of certain kind OF bamboo for max
ing flowers. Crassus, one of the Roman
triumvirs, was the first in Rome to have
them made OF gold and silver
During the middle ages flowers made OF
metal, satin, silk, wax and paper were
used in the Roman Catholic church with
symbollcal signifcations; on festal occa-
sions they We're worn merely for ornament.
In 1873 Seguin botanist and chemist,
began the manufacture of flowers in Paris,
employing parchment for the flowers and
bristles for the stems His work was so
perfect and artistic that the jealousy OF
some of the leading painters was aroused.
From that time the manufacture of arti-
fetal flowers steadily grew and developed
in France, and today the French excel in
them.
The art was introduced into England
during tho French revolution by refugees
who made use of 1t as means of subsist.
ence II has been successfully naturalized
In the United States. Knives of various
sizes and shapes, stamps gaufforing irons
vi hlhercnb hlnuh, mOluS called Nelners
and agate or glass hurnishers arc the chief
tools made use of in the manufacture
The leaves and the petals are usually
made Of silk or cambria. The material TO
be shaped is folded several times, laid upon
a lcaden table and IA stamp is driven
through 1t. Gauifering irons are made use
of TO hollow tho petals; yeiners, rs the
name implies, are used TO vein the leaves,
and tho burnishers are employed to give
the petals polished appearance. The
stamens and pistils arc formed of " ire
covered with silk; tho stalk Is made of
wire coated with n green material. and Is
fixed TO the stamens and plstils around
which arc attached the petals and lastly
the cnlyx. Buds are made Of cotton OF
glass balls covered with silk or cambria.
The florists fingers, guided by skill and
taste, have much to do with the beauty OF
the flowers produced great ingenuity is
often displayed even in cheap sprig con.
sisting of several materials well put 10,
gether and arranged
French wholesale houses engaged in the
manufacture Of artificial flowers have
each some special branch; thus, one makes
only roses, another wild flowers, third
leaves, etc. The best and most expensive
flowers arc hand painted. Philadelphia

quarters with . badly bruised face. He
informed Marshal Sharp that he had
gone ont to the corral where he
stumbled over IA pitchfork aud fell.
This caused him to utter some inpre-

overheard by his son, young man
about % years Of age. He came UP
and struck his father in the face with
his hands and with n closed pocket
knife, saying that he was always
grumbing and he Uhe SOM would
teach him "A thing or two. The old
man wanted the officers to come down
and give the son q talking to, but did
not want him arrested or put IN any
legal trouble. The case will no doubt
be placed in the hands of the county
attorney.
