Young will now be called to rule the

The present Brigham Young, although
not so strong a character as his father,
is looked upon as an able leader. He is a
polygamist and is believed to have mar
rled another plural wife in recent years.
He also believes in the doctrine that the
church leaders have absolute authority
over all matters temporal and spiritual
in the lives of their followers.

Johann Most, the New York anarchist,
was sentenced in the Court of Special
Sessions in New York city Monday to
Years Imprisonment in the penitentiary
for a sedtious article published in his
paper the day after President Mckinley
was shot. This article was entitled
Murder against Murder" Most's de-
fence was the claim that the article was
nrinted and circulated the day before the
assassination. Most also claimed that
mis- article was. a quotation from an
article first published so years ago and
republished by him Is years ago. In i'm
posing sentence the judge said: 1t Is not
pocessarv TO trace any connection in this
article with the assassination OF the late
President. The offence here, in the eyes
of the law, is precisely the same as IL
the bloody event had never occurred
The murder of the President only serves
to illustrate and illuminate the enormity
of the crime of the Defendant III tea N,h

HOW 70 MAKE COOL DRINKS.

HOW TO MAKE COOL DRINKS.
Plenty of healthful, cooling drinks
contribute greatly to the comfort OF the
family during the hot summer weather,
and an all but endless variety of agree
able ones may be made with fresh fruits
as the foundation. Grape juice is
among those that are especially delight
ful and nutritious and if bought by the
dozen bottles and diluted with two parts
of cold water to one part of the juice Is
economical as we'll. Lemon juice, canned
while the fruit Is at its cheapest, Is not
only an economy, but convenience, and
has the advantage of being always ready
for emergencies and ordinary use. !,
Raspberry vinegar is an old-fashioned
connection, the lame of which has in no
way diminished. To make it genuine
cider vinegar is wanted. Mash two
quarts of raspberries to pulp in a stone
jar, and add enough vinegar to cover
them. Let them stand in the sun for an
entire day, and in cool cellar all night,
stirring them occasionally. Drain OIL
the liquor and pour it over two additional
quarts of mashed berries, and repeat the
process of the day before. Two days
after strain and to each quart of the
Juice add pint of water and pound OF
sugar. Stand over the fire, and stir until
the sugar is dissolved. Bring slowly 10
boil, and skim off the scum. Then
strain, bottle while hot, and seal.
Strawberry and blackberry vinegars are
made in the same way.
Currant water is another refreshing
beverage that is easily prepared. Sim.
mer a pint of the fruit in a quart OF
water, to which a tablespoonful OF
powdered sugar has been added. Cool
and strain and selve with cracked ice, a
slice of lemon and few of the fresh
currants. This water is said to be
beneficial to persons suffering with liver
trouble.
Barley water very thin, well iced and
favored with lemon is frequently served
at luncheons. To prepare it, put
heaping tablespoonful of barley into an
earthen bowl and cover with two or three
quarts of boiling water. When 1t II

HeR MOTHERS STOCKINGS.
OF COURSE THE BRIDE THOUGHT OF
THEM AT HER MARRIAGE.

A good story is being whispered
around about one of the beautiful brides
of last June. She was married In a big
church with the usual accompaniment
of flowers and pretty bridesmaids.
Every one remarked how perfectly beau
tiful the bride looked as she walked up
the aisle on the arm of her father to
meet the bridegroom waiting at the
altar.
After the wedding breakfast, and just
as the bride was preparing to start for
the depot to catch the afternoon train
for her honeymoon, an old school friend
of her mother came to her, kissed her
on both cheeks, and said:
perfectly lovely bride that have seen
this year! AS you walked up the aisle
to meet the man who was so soon to be
your husband, every one could see from
the half-frightened yet trustful look
upon your face and the firm yet tender
smile about your mouth that you were
thinking of the serious importance of
the step that you were taking. Your
very look seemed to say, Il am leaving
my girlhOod behind me and going forth
upon an untried sea, but SO great is my
trust in him whom have chosen that l
step forward without fear and in perfect
confidence Tell me, my dear, just
what the thoughts were which brought
th"t lovely expression upon your face
this morning?"
every well, l will tell you," said the
bride, "exa city what my thoughts were
as walked up the aisle. My mother,
who, as you know, is much smaller
woman than am, for some sentimental
reason insisted upon my wearing at the
altar the very silken hose in which she
was married to my father 20 years ago.
They were so tight for me that at each
step kept repeating to myself: This
time they will surely rip! This time they
will surely ripr And when reached the
altar without accident was so much re-
lieved that probably did wear the look
of bliss which verybody mentioned.

HON TO KEEP COOL.

On rising in the morning sponge the
body quickly with cold or tepid water.
If robust take a cold bath; delicate
persons, especially those with a weak
heart should content themselves with
tepid sponge over.
Avoid going out in the full heat OF the
sun. If you must do so, wear white
outer clothing.
The early morning and early evening
are the best times for Out-of-door exer'
cises during the hottest days OF summer
When very hot, after walking or Other
exertion, do not indulge in iced drinks
or battle the skin with very cold water
The sudden shock to the system, espe
cially to delicate people, may prove
highly injurious.
The food during summer should be
light, but nourishing. Intense heat
causes a good deal of waste to the sys'
TEN, and the diet should therefore be
sustaining.
All highly stimulating and very rich
foods should be avoided, however, and
fresh green vegetables, salad, such as
lettuce, endives, .watercress, tomatoes
and fruits of all kinds, should form an
essential par. of the daily dietary.
Animal food is needed, but should be
taken in strict moderation.
Milk is a very valuable article OF die
in summer, and diluted with lime water
makes refreshing and cooling drink
Keep the atmosphere of your house
cool by having the windows closed anc
the blinds down during the hottest par
of the day.
When the sun gets low, open the win
dows and draw up the blinds wher'
possible. By this means you will keel
sunheated air out of the house.
The bed room windows should b
open at the top all night, and in tn
early morning before the sun become
hot, as many windows as possible shoul'
be widely opened, so that the cool morn
ing air may enter.
Open all the windows again in TIN
evening, thus thoroughly ventilating tn
house and filling it with cool air.

Drying preparations simply develop
dry cataIrh; they dry up the secretions
which adhere to the membrane and
decompose, causing far more serious
trouble than the ordinary form of Ca
tarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants and
use that which cleanses, soothes and
heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a
remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in
the head easily and pleasantly. All
druggists sell it at 80 cents or it will be

CHECKERS ON THE FARM.

The checkefboard Il all worn out
From use each winter night;
The checkers have become hegrimed'
Which once were shining bright,
But still the game goes straightway On
Although the squares are blurs'
While Cynthy pens up Reuben's men
Or Reuben captures hers
Sometimes the old man takes hand
To show his practiced skill,
And then the farmhands circle round
While every one IL still.
They would not say single word
That would distract his play;
90 breathless they observe him drive
Young Reuben's men to bay.
All, what would winter evenings b
Without the checkerboard,
With double corners, Jumps and moves
And fun which they afordl
Our dissipation oft consists
In too much checkers here,
Which makes the gossips tell about
Our checkered LIES career.
