WHERE MONEY is UNKNOWN.
Primitive Conditions In Settlement In
Southe astern Utah.

Primitive Conditions In Settlement In
Southeastern Utah.
There have arrived in this city two
young men who have made the trip
across the continent from the Missis-
sippi river in canvas-covered wagon
drawn by a pair of mules, writes a
Los Angeles correspondent of the
Pittsburg Gazette. Their experiences
have been varied and interesting
often hazardous, but never more
unique than when passing through
southeastern Utah.
In that section OF the state have set.
tied a few score of families, regardless
OF the fact that the nearest railroad is
$50 miles away, and that there is alb.
solutely no market for the product OF
their ranches.
They raise what they want to eat,
their ranches support their ever.in-
creasing herds, and they expect to
realize fortunes from their cattle and
lands when a railroad penetrates the
fastness and traverses that section.
Meantime money Is almost an I'M
known medium of exchange. Cattle
and grain are the units OF value.
The young men say that in one set.
Element where they stopped there was
not dollar in money, all told, in the
town. At one of their camping places
they visited a nearby ranch to buy
one Of the numerous chickens that
were running about the place.
What have you to barter?" asked
the woman of the house.
Cash" was the reply.
What, cash money!" was her as
tonished inquiry.
DO you want a she chicken or he
chicken" was the next question.
They informed her that they would
take he chicken"
Then, II it's cash money you have,
you may have 1t for fifteen cents, but
where in the world did you get
money!"
They told her that they had just
come through Colorado and got money
there. They neglected to add that
they also paid rs cents apiece for
chickens there.
"Oh, yes" she remarked, 1--WE
heard that they had money in Colo

Town Boys One Accomplishment.

Last night boy came here from town
To stay week err so,
Because his nav is all run down
And needs rest, you know.
His name is Cecil, and he's eight,
And he can't skin the cat.
His nav she calls him Pet" I'd hate
To have a name like that.
He wears a collar and tie
and can't hang by his toes;
l guess that | would nearly die
If had on his clos.
He can't ride bareback, and today,
When we slid on the straw,
He asst If ROSTERS help to lay
The eggs | pick fer nav.
When our old gander Missed, he run
AS though he thought he'd bite,
And amt never shot a gun
Or mad homemade kite.
He never MIXED a cow and he
Can't even dive or swim;
I'd hate to think that he was me;
I'm glad that l amt him.
He thinks it's lots of fun to pump
And see the water squirt,
But won't climb in the barn and jump
For fear of gettin' hurt.
His clos are Ollie nice and fine;
His hairs all over curls;
His hands amt half as big as mine;
He ought to play with girls.
a little while ago, when we
Were foolin' in the shed,
He suddenly got mad at me
Because l bumped his head.
There's lots of things that he can't do
He thinks that sheep'll bite,
And he's afraid of ganders, too,
But he can fight all right.

POINTER FOR THE WOMEN.
Two Things Forgotten In the Fur.
nlshing Of Mems Rooms.


Metaphysicians have been asking
each other What is beauty?' for
these many hundred years, and we
will not enter the lists.
AS regards the decoration of
houses, however, one may safely as
sert that the essential points to be
sought for are simplicity and COM
fort. A room must be beautiful as
M. Jourdain spoke prose-without
knowing it-and attempts at embel-
lishment necessarily end in failure.
There are some rooms that remind
one of painted, bejeweled old women,
others Of fragrant damsels with a
flower in their hair Some rooms are
reposeful and invite conversation:
others jar, and induce unhappiness
and melancholy.
What song the syrens sang, or
what name Achilles assumed when
he hid himself among maidens,
though puzzling questions, are not
beyond all conjecture" Thus said
Sir Thomas Browne.
But who shall fathom the mystic.
rious mind of woman when she sets
forth to organize the home? Why
those spindly, uncanny chairs, on
which no mortal man can sit and be
unafraid? Why that abundance Of
bric-a-brac, the collection of photo
graphs in hideous little frames,
those heavy, foolish albums?
Chairs. a table, a pipe rack, and a
bookcase-these be mans equipment,
and he possesses his soul In peace.

TRoWELs OF THE sRickLAYER.
Modern Changes In Them-Different
Styles Used.

Styles Used.
THE bricklayer's trowel," said a
dealer In such things, might have
seemed long ago to have reached its
final perfected shape, never to change
again; but, as matter of fact, 1t has
been in the past dozen years altered
considerably in its proportions, the
better to adapt 1t to modern condi.
tons.
"The old style trowel was used for
laying bricks with mortar, but now
bricks are laid more commonly with
cement, witch Is used in a far more
nearly fluid state than was mortar,
and the old style trowel wouldn't take
up enough of it. So masons were con-
tinually calling for wider trowel, and
in answer to this demand the trowel
has gradually been widened until now
1t is an inch or more wider than 1t
formerly was. 1t is also made now.
adays little shorter than formerly.
And OF trowels in general there are
now more styles than there formerly
were, due to the greater complication
of modern construction, and the great.
er need Of trowels for special uses.
while the bricklayer's trowel.
shorter and wider, as have described
1t to you, is now the standard here
abouts. bricklayers throughout the
country do not everywhere use the
same kind. Thus, while we use here a
trowel of a certain form and dimen'
sions, they use in California a trowel
with bigger and thinner blade than
that Of ours; there they don't cut and
trim bricks with the edge Of the
trowel. but use a chisel that is made
for the purpose. But, then, men in
different parts of the country have
different methods in bricklaying prac-
tice, as well as different tools.
"A Western mason, for instance,
will spread his mortar or cement along
and lay three or four bricks at once.
while Boston mason lays bricks sing
ly. don't know that one method is
any faster than the other"

Valuable Receipts.

To clear the voice, to a teaspoonful
each of glycerine and lemon Juice and
half cup of water, stir well and
drink. The dose, If necessary, may be
repeated several times during the
day.
To make French honey, beat half
cupof butter and two-thirds of q cup
of powdered sugar to cream, then add
one unbeaten egg and beat again
until light. Place In double boiler
and stir over boiling water until it
thickens. Remove from the fire, and
add the grated rind and Juice Of one
lemon. When well mixed, turn out
to cool.
Make mixture of gasoline and one
fourth as much wood alcohol, i'm
which has been dissolved as much cor
rosive sublimate (bichloride of Mer-
cury) as it will hold. Inject this with
a syringe into the cracks of wall and
floor and spray "infested" furniture
with it, behind and under upholstered
seats, etc. Take one room at a time,
being careful to have no fire or artif-
cial light about, and shut the room
up closely for eight hours. The pro-
cess may have to be repeated once a
month for perhaps three months II
the infection be grievous, but II
faithfully done it is sure death to all
vermin.
Enameled shoes can be kept in good
condition by washing them in sweet
milk. All dust and mud should first
be removed; then the shoes should be
thoroughly washed with the milk then
wiped dry with a soft cloth. This
will give them polish almost equal
to new and will help them to retain
their smart appearance for long time.
For blackheads bathe the face at
night with water as hot as can be
borne without scalding. Use CASTLE
soap and flesh brush and give your
face a thorough wash. Rinse with
clear cold water and then massage
with mutton tallow which must be
warmed as you use it. Rub it in thor.
oughly. In the morning wash the
face with warm water only-no soap
and give it a dash of cold water.
Never use powder or other cosmetics
and avoid i'll cooked, greasy or rich
foods.
DO not clean plate glass mirrors with
soap and water, which sooner OF
later dim the surface. Alcohol and
water are safe, but unless the mirror
is actually dirty, rubbing with soft
cloth cleanses it perfectly. 1t is best
not to use soap on table glass, much
Of which is rather soft and easily
scratched. For this reason avoid the
many patent polishing powders and
cloths advertised to give high polish
to good glass.
