necessary on account of the Sunday
school duties assigned Mr.. Griggs.
Both gentlemen held these positions
until the appointment in 1890, of
Prof. Stephens.
Mr.. Griggs still retains his mem
bership in the choir and is one OF its
most faithful members. He is
musician Of marked ability, and
withal very modest and unassuming.
A number OF his compositions are
included in the Psalmody and Sun
day school tune book. The greater
part of his life has been devoted to
Sabbath school work, in which he
has been an untiring worker. He
now holds the responsible position of
Sunday school superintendent of
the Salt Lake Stake.

words IS more thoroughly rGcog-

many persons Of assumed liberal
views, who regard music as an unfit
occupation for masculine minds.
The carly history Of music shows
that none OF the other arts received
the same opposition. Kings and
rulers in days gone by enacted
laws to suppress its growth and de-
velopmcnt among the people. Hap
PLY those days have passed and the
prevailing sentiment throughout the
civilized world now is, that music
is one OF the greatest educators

The Mormon people have been
ardent lovers of music, from the
earliest period Of their history. If
there is one thing more than an
other that distinguishes them from
other communities, it is their unit
versal musical talent and ability.
The same spirit of work, the same
necessity for industry, that has
characterized the lives of those who
have toiled for the building up OF
this State, has been cxempliicd in
the career of those who have &c
voted their time, energy and means
in bringing music to its present high
standard of excellence. Music is a

EVAN STEPHENS.

There never was truer uttcrance
than this: "What a man does is
the real test Of what a man is"
Evan Stephens affords a striking eX-
ample OF what perseverance and in
deiatigable work will do for a young
man. He is what may be styled a
self-made man, in the full sense of
the term, and his example ought to
stimulate others, for he has demon
strated that however humble young
mans position in life is, it is within his
power to reach the top OF the ladder.
Evan Stephens was born in the
picturesque little village Of pencader,
Characteristic, South Wales, on
the 2Sth Of June, 1854. He was
twelve years old when he landed
with his parents, brothers and sisters,
in Utah. He always had love for
music and poetry, and carly in life
exhibited a wonderful genius for
harmony. He has worked on the
farm, herded sheep, carried the
hod, been striker for a blacksmith,
and labored as railroad section
hand. When thirteen years old he
began to study and learn how to
read music. Before many years he
had conned the works ofthe world S
great musicians. In 1870 he was
oreanist for the Willard Sunday
school, and while at work on the
railroad wrote several musical COM
positions, at odd moments through
the day and during the silent hours
of the night. In 1870, he accepted
the position of organist of the Logan
Tabernacle choir, at the request of
Prof Alexander Lewis, its leader, In
1850, his life, as a musician COM
menced. He began giving lessons
on the organ and soon formed sing
ing classes, both for children and
adults. In 1882, he came to Salt
Lake City for the purpose of study
ing the pipe organ under Prot.

Goat Meat for Mutton,

The Biblical contrast between the
sheep and the goats came up oddly at
Buffalo, N. Y, when Market Clerk
Roesch announced he had discovered
that Western farmers are shipping
goats flesh here and selling it for
mutton. The remedy for the practice
has been summary, for the clerk no
sooner made the discovery than he
poured kerosene oil all over the carcass
and set it afire.
This meat has been coming in for
some time, and was becoming popular
with the butchers, as it was sold to
them at cut price, and could be
worked off as mutton. So far it has
not been discovered where tho meat
comes from, but it appears that con-
siderable quantity Of it has been gath
cred in some part of the West and
shipped here. Probably when other
receiving centres look into the matter
it will be found there, too. 1t is hard
for the uninitiated to tell goats meat
from mutton, and it is wholesome
enough if properly handled, but it is
far from being mutton, for all that

One &c the many wonders of the great
Faris exposition of 1900 is to be tele.
scope of gigantic power. We hear from
Paris, says the New York Herald, that
the object lens is to be tifty-one inches
in diameter, and that the huge instru-
ment will bring the moon within an
apparent distance from us of one mile.
To accomplish this, however. the tele-
scope must embody other new features
than merely gigantic size, as reports
from leading astronomical centers in
the country show. For comparisons
sake the diameters of the object glass
es of the greatest telescope in the world
are here given: The largest in exist
ence is the Lick, whose object glass is
thirty-siX inches across. The second
largest is at Pulkowa, Russia, with n
glass of thirty inches. The third is at
the University of Virginia, its glass
being twenty-siX inches. Harvard has
the fourth largest, with twentyfour
inch glass, and the fifth in size be.
longs to Princeton College. The IA
nous Yerkes telescope glass, the latest
of the celebrated productions at Cam
bridge, Mass, is rated at forty inches
diameter.

MILKING.

If money is to be made from cows
it Is essential that they be MIXED at
regular hours morning and evening,
says the Patrons Bulletin. and the
nearer the time is divided equally the
better it is.
1t is also advisable to milk them in
the same order every time it prevents
them from fretting. Personally, !
have found no satisfactory result un-
less managed to make friends with
the COW, or, if you please, induced her
to look upon me as an adopted calfl"
While pure food and water is essen
tial to the production of perfect milk,
it has been proven that many of the
taints which we thought were intro
duced in the milk while it is elabor-
ated in the COW, are due to direct con-
tamination from the dust of dried
urine and excrements rs we'll as of the
fodder itself in the stable. When the
COW converts the food into blood and
then into milk, most if not all of the
impurities are separated in that won
derful filter-the kidneys--and the
germs are found not in the milk but
in the urine and excrements. A
healthy COW fed clean and healthy
fodder and water will always produce
perfect milk. We have been fooled,
as, for instance, by the fact that milk
from COWS fed on turnips had turnip
flavor, but careful experiments have
shown thai this flavor was produced
by bacterium found on the turnips
aud in the excrements and introduced
in the milk directly by dust falling
into it while milking in stable where
the turnips were fed while milking or
shortly after, or where the excrements
had chance to dry and float as dust
| in the air.
These facts make it clear that we
| should not feed the COWS while milk
ing, and should not clean the stable
just before milking, as the dust then
raised may drop in the milk. Nor
shonld we keep a stock of such fodder
| in the stable.
OF course there are certain weeds,
such as leeks, rag-weed, etc., which
will taint the milk as produced III the
COW, and too much OF certain foods
will affect the milk in various ways.
Thus more than two pounds of linseed
meal per COW will make the butter
soft, and so will rape-seed and peanut
meal, while more than two or three
pounds of cotton-seed meal will make
1t hard and like stearIne.

RAISING EAELY rounrRY.

There is every encouragement to the
one who wishes to keep poultry for
eggs and market, writes S. N. VOL
cott, in the American Agriculturist.
The road of the amateur fancy chicken
dealer is sure to be a rough one for
many years at least, for there are so
many well-known dealers, and adyer-
tising and booming are overdone and
disappointing. A dealer in one little
town shipped during the month of
February 5000 dozen eggs. An average
of $3.50 worth OF poultry was shipped
weekly last winter, and there were
other dealers in the same town and at
nearly every other town in the county.
No one. to my knowledge, makes q
speciality of poultry. 1t was the surplus
from the farms. A farmer near Airing
ton Junction had fine flock of
Brahmas, which are heavy weights to
sell at maturity but do not feather
early enough for broilers or early
pullets. Neither did they lay as we'll
as he wished. He bought last year
somo pure White Leghorn cockerels
and has an all-purpose chicken hard
to beat. In three weeks in December
he sold fifty-fve dozen eggs from
ninety hens and pulets at the time of
year when eggs are scarce and high.
They still keep up the record. This
year he bought pure Brahmas cockerels
again, for the chickens soon get too
small for market purposes. The Cochin

Leghorn, and they feather early for
broilers. Early broilers are the most
profitable, and they should weigh l or
L lbs by the first of May at least.
The next best thing to an incu-
bator for Matching early chicks
is dozen Cochin hens, and
this is about all the good could ever
get out OF them. Langshans are pret-
ty fair early sitters. One must have

HOW to Rest.

To understand how to rest is OF
more impor tance than to know how to
work. The latter can be learned
easily the former it takes years to
learn, and some people never learn the
art OF resting. 1t is simply q change
of scenes and activities. Loating may
not be resting. Sleeping is not always
resting. Sitting down for days with
nothing to do is not restful. A change
is needed to bring into play different
set of faculties, and to turn the life
into new channel. The man who
works hard, finds his best rest in play
ing hard. The man who is burdene6
with care finds relief in something
that is active, yet free from response
biiity. Above all, keep good-natured
and don't abuse your best friend-tht
stomach.
