Tho Thrifty Housewife.

It Is q homely saying, that "a wo-
man can throw out with a spoon fas-
ter than u man can throw In with a
shovel" yet the truth OF the old saw
has never been disputed Given an
Intelligent. Industrious ''bread-winner."
as II is fashionable to call the person
who earns the funds which support
the home, and the thrift or want of
thrift marking the career OF the family
Will depend almost entirely upon the
habits OF the housewife In relation
TO little matters. One OF the religious
papers recently presented this char
acterization OF 1.-The thrifty housewife"
and the portrait is so terse and true
that 1t might well be made rule OF
conduct in all homes where true pros
perity Is sought: "She takes note OF
the kitchen fire and closes up all the
hampers when she is not using Ii. and
makes one fire do all the work IL will
ar once. She saves her nice 'drippings'
and makes them serve in cooking In
stead OF butter. She saves all the
odds and ends OF bread and meat left
over from meals and works them up
into appetizing and nutritious dishes
instead of throwing them away. Her
clothing she keeps clean by the use
OF aprons; she has suits OF clothes suit
able for dirty work. She turns her
sheets when they grow thin the mid
die. Her worn tablecloths are cut up
into napkins for everyday use. She
keeps rugs spread over places in the
carpet that are subjected TO the hard
est wear. She carefully dries her tin
ware so 1t will not rust out. She keeps
her old brooms for rough use. and 80
prolongs the term Of service OF her
best broom. She uses up her worn
garments In making quilts and COM
orts or in rugs and rag carpets. and
70 In thousand ways she saves what .
wasted would be pure loss. and do !
lobody any good.-The Housewife.

tie revelation TO his uncle, Joseph Smith
Jr., the founder of the church. He sub.
scribed. to the standard of authority for
the. church in relation to the revelation
commanding polygamy as made known
to TIE first president in a visit from ian
angel III hlask."
The testimony was directed in slight
degree at Senator Smoot and no attempt
was made by the defense TO curtail the
admission of testimony until President
Smith was questioned in relation to po-
lygamous cohabitation of certain officials
OF the church before the manifesto OF
1890.
The attorneys then objected. and much
time was devoted TO the relevancy of
such testimony. The committee went
into executive session, and after a full
discussion determined to allow the ut
most latitude TO the hearings, which
means that court practices will be avoid
ed. The protestants said they regarded
this as a victory for them.
Great interest attaches TO the hear
ings because of the dual purpose Of the
inquiry. Other investigations have been
directed at the rights OF certain contest
ants TO seats in Congress. but never be
fore has there been inaugurated an in
quiry into creeds or political factors to
determine whether an unlawful influence
is being exerted in the political affairs
OF the nation.

Fiercest Storms of the Winter PR

Fiercest Storms Of the Winter Pre-
vail in Several States.
The worst blizzard of the winter swept
across several States of the Northwest
Wednesday and Thursday. 1t covered
the prairies of North Dakota and Mime
sofa and the hills and valleys ce northern
Wisconsin with a deep fall OF snow that
tied up Street cars IN many places and
delayed steam railway traffic.
While a 50-mile gale blowing straight
for Chicago was descending from the
Lake Superior region Wyoming was la
boring under blizzard that had drift
ed in" from the Rockies, and Nebraska
was suffering an unprecedented drop in
temperature of sixty-three degrees with
in few hours. From seventy-nine de-
grees the Nebraska temperature dropped
to sixteen. A gale was whipping across
the whole State and giving warning that
the Wyoming blizzard and it's cold wave
was travelling eastward at terrific gait.
Michigan and Colorado, at the same
time, were experiencing all the rigors Of
cold, hurricane and snow. Iowa, too,
was shivering, first in sleet storm and
two hours later under a fall OF snow,
the temperature having dropped twenty
FIVE degrees.
The cold wave reached Chicago Thurs
day night, and the thermometer closely
Rugged the zero point. The advance
agent of the cold wave arrived Thurs
day morning. He brought a few hand
fuis of snow, which he scattered about.
The cold was Characteristic of December
rather than March.

1he same position and that the church
still taught polygamy; despite the order
Of President Woodruff against polygamy
and despite the law of the nation against
polygamous marriages.
For those protesting against the seat
ing of SmQo it was contended that he,
being one Of the church's twelve apos-
files, was sworn to uphold beliefs and
practices in conflict with the laws of the
nation and therefore was unfit to help
make the nations laws. Mr.. Shoots
lawyers tried to restrict the inquiry to
certain points and to court methods. The
committee, however, decided to hear ey-
cry bit of testimony offered and to make
its own rules Of procedure and this decis-
ion put the church as we'll as Mr.. Smoot
on trial.
John G. Carlisle, former Secretary of
the Treasury, and ex-Congressman r.
W. Taylor of Ohio are the attorneys for
the protestants. A. S. Worthington of
Washington and Waldemar Van Colt Of
Salt Lake City are the lawyers for Mr..
Smoot
In his testimony President Smith ex-
planned that the first presidency was
composed of the president of the church
and two high priests or councillors and
that the twelve apostles, of whom Mr..
Smoot was one, were next i'll authority.
The presidents were elected by the coun-
Gil and the apostles, but he believed and
1t was taught that the presidents were
really chosen by divine revelation and
endowed with the aathority of the holy
priesthood by author ity direct from God.
Mr.. Smith said he was a prophet and
seer and received revelations direct from
God
President Smith declared that notwith-
standing a second revelation" TO the
effect that polygamy is not obligatory
upon members of the Mormon church.
he still believed polygamy was right. He
was questioned closely in regard to the
principles of divine revelations. He said
he adhered absolutely to all the teach
ings of the church in that regard, and
that he himself had been visited with
divine inspirations from God directing
him as to details in matters pertaining
70 the welfare of the church, though no
angels had come TO him, as in the case of

PATENT FOR TROLLEY SYSTEM.
For Canal Boats 1t Makes the Vessels
Self steering.


4 patent has been recently granted
to Henry Healy of Buffalo for a sys-
tenn of canal boat propulsion by cleo
| tricity which makes the trolley avail
able for the purpose. In systems max
ing use of the trolley the difficulty has
always been in the steering in order to
keep the pole in contact with the wire.
BY Mr.. Healy's method this is done in
way which is almost automatic, no
attention whatever being given to the
steering of the boat except in certain
emergencies which rarely transpire.
The steering of the boats is accom-
plished by means of a guide rail. The
patent provides either for the running
of the boats on the sides of the canal
or in the center. Running the boats
in the center of the canal is much pre-
| ferred, SO that a boat in motion will
not interfere with a boat or boats tied
up along the sides. Posts are sunk
| in the bed of the center of the canal
on which are erected trolley poles with
arms carrying the feed wires, just the
same as the wires are carried along
the center of the street to furnish pow
er to trolley cars. Above the water
line on each of the posts the guide
rails are attached. The rail on one
side serves for boats bound in one di-
rection and the rail opposite serves
for beats bound in the other di-
rectior.
Attached to the sides of the canal
boats are adjustable arms which eX-
tend to the guide rails. A wheel on
each of the arms fits into a groove in
the rail and it is by this means that
the boat is kept directly on its course.
There are several methods by which
the wheel on the arm MAJ be had to
run on the rail, such as a wheel to
overlap the rail, in which case an or
binary Trail would be used
The inventor claims that the system
will greatly reduce freight rates and
make canal operation very profitable
A crew which is at present required
for 250-ton boat would be more than
sufficient for one of 1000 tons Means
are provided for enabling boats going
in the same direction to pass each
other in case of accident or delay to one
of them.-Pittsburg Press.
