THE REJUVENATED LIVER.

The story was originally told by Wizard
huisOn on one OF his photograph cylinders
and is duly authenticated.
There was man whose liver ran
A little out of gear,
Who exercised and advertised
In papers far and near
CHE first to try home remedy;
The last in sheer despair
One happy day, some time in Nav.
A decade past or two,
de found spring-a happy thing
The woodland running through.
Where water-sUrites in their mad flights
Sure cure for livers brew.
His liver grew as good as new
On this amazing water:
He told mankind of his great find
And shared it, as he oughter,
With all who had the liver fad.
And gave the disease no quarter.
The people came with loud acclaim
From many miles around;
Unanimous and clamorous,
And made their livers sound,
And blessed for aye the happy day
When he this great spring found.
When one fine day he passed away,
This hearty, hale old cub,
His liver spry refused To die,
Nor would it "kick the tub
They had to rout that liver out
And kill it with a club!

Spain Wants the Bones of Columbus

Dying at Valladolid, he was buried

Poultry.

Capons become plump and COM
mand a price in market much above
other poultry, They grow in weight
about one-third more than they
would if not thus treated, and their
flesh remains sweet, tender and
juicy, tasting almost exactly like
that of a young chicken. 1t will
pay any one near city market to
buy up cOckeTels in the country
around, caponize them and feed
them until next February or March.
Those earliest in market command
very fancy prices. In the West the
taste for capons has not yet been
cultivated, but in the East they are
in quick demand. From their lazy
disposition, they will put on more
weight from given amOnt of food
than any other kind of poultry.
During the moulting period it is
not possible for the hen to eat
enough to furnish material for her
new feathers and to supply the con-
stituents for eggs at the same time.
During this period it will pay to feed
them well, for otherwise she will
enter the winter in poor condition

While the dairy farms may not
give as large yearly yield in money
as those devoted to grain, they are
worked at a much less expense in
labor and tools, and give as large
clear income; and then the land is
the gamer all the time.
One really good COW will furnish
as much milk as two ordinary ones,
while the one will cost but half AS
much as the two for keeping. In
the latter case the profit all goes in
Keeping the extra cow. If we would
prosper we must keep our wits
awake.
You can not get up good reputa-
ton as butter maker if you let the
cream stand for days before churn-
ing; you can not churn but once a
week and succeed. 1t is equal to
folly to produce milk only to let it
be deprecated by standing a little
while in filthy stable or in vessels
which give it a bad odor. This is
the cause of most of the rancid but
ter. Again, the air is full of bacte-
ria, and the filthier the COW, the
mixer and his hands, the stable and
its atmosphere and all of the envi-
ronmont, the more numerous will
be these deleterious organisms in
the milk, and the quicker will it
sour in usual conditions.
If milk is promptly cooled when
drawn with ice or spring water to
point below 90 degrees, bacterial ac-
ton will not set in within any ordi-
nary space of time, and there would
be no trouble from sour milk what
ever. This point is of the utmost
Importance to farmers and dairy

In the summer sOiling will enable
one to maintain the land better than
it can be done by pasturing, but
most farmers are not yet ready for
this. Home winter dairying will
enable one to feed all farm products
to better advantage, to make butter
with profit, and to accumulate more
manure for enriching the fields than
can be done when the stock runs
out.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-A Salt Lake

ing statement to the Evening World
correspondent:
eff a time comes when it is neces-
sary to defend myself, I shall be there
right on the spot and I appreciate that
the members Of the Congress and the
American people are more liberal,
broad-minded and generous than a few
bigoted and contracted preachers of the
Presbyterian church, whose training.
mode Of life and trend of thought tend
to unfit them for practical life
Joseph Smith received a command
from the Lord to introduce our order
of marriage into the church. On the
strength of that revelation. and not by
reason Of anything that is written in
the Jewish Scriptures, the Latter Day
Saints practice plural marriage.
Polygamy is not adultery, for were it
so considered, then Abraham, Jacob
and the prophets who practiced it
would not be allowed a heritage in the
kingdom of heaven, and if polygamy is
not adultery, then it cannot be cIassed
as a sin at ALL"
1t has been urged by some that Rob
erts, owing to the operation of the Ed
munds Tucker Act, which disfranchised
all polygmists, is legally barred from
taking his seat in Congress. In regard
to this, Mr.. Roberts says he has had
the best legal advice obtainable, which
convinces him that there are no legal
obstacles in the way of his taking his
seat.
