Birth OF a Flower.

Years and years ago and ever 81
many years before there lived far
away in lovely country youth Wild
was the most beautiful man in the
world. His name was Narcissus, and
he had sister as beautiful as HIM
self, whom he loved very dearly. Mar
cissus often used to go hunting in the
woods with his sister Each Of them
knew that the other one was very
beautiful, but they did not know
the same about themselves. You see,
they had no looking glasses in those
days-at least only the mermaids had
them, and they never lent them to any
one else. One day the girl died, and
poor Narcissus was very unhappy, and
after that he had to so hunting by
himself. Once when he was thirsty
he came to q stream and was just
bending down to drink when he saw
his own face in the water. He had
never seen it before and thought it
was the face Of his dear sister. So he
tried to catch hold of her, but could
not. When he had tried for a long
time he was so disappointed that he
killed himself. Then the fairies came
in the night to bury him, but they
only found a pretty white flower,
which is still called narcissus.

Sun in the Poultry House.

If those who raise poultry would
realize that fowls that have had free
access to sunshine during seven, eight
or nine months in the year miss it
greatly during the months of confine-
ment, they would do some changing
in their methods of house-building and
arrangement. Unfortunately many
writer's are decrying the scratching
sheds, claiming that they are not suf-
fcieptly valuable to warrant their cost
and maintenance. Of course, if one
has large poultry house, well lighted
and so arranged that all the sun pos
sible enters, then possibly the scratch
ing shed is superfluous. But how
many such houses are there the coun-
try through? One may have a very
small house proper, and by the aid
of the scratching shed raise a good
many fowls. But whatever the ar
rangement OF the poultry quarters,
plan SO that they will have all the
sunlight possible, and you will see q
decided gain in the egg production.

POLYGAMY AS 1T is.
MormOnism Finds Protection in Fact
Whole Truth Cannot Be Told.


Whole Truth Cannot Be Told.
The following incident is actually a
fact, though on the surface it appears
almost unbelievable, says Marian Bon
sail in the Housekeeper. A certain
unmarried woman was i'll and was
thought to be about to die. Her
friends, fearing for the fate of an IN
married woman in the hereafter, went
hurriedly to man Of their acquaint-
ance, bachelor, requesting him to
be sealed to her Immediately. He
consented, being willing to have her
for his wife in the life to come. But
the unexpected happened, and the
young woman was restored to health
The man to whom she had been sealed
continued to live as he had done, and
she lived at her home as a single
woman. Some time after, the young
woman married man Of her faith,
and lives with him and her children
Today. In the meantime the man died
to whom she had been sealed for eter-
nifty but not for time. He was man
OF considerable wealth, and on the
strength Of the sealing, the woman,
the wife for time Of another man,
sued for the formers property in the
Utah courts-and got it.
1t is impossible to grasp the full
import Of the whole Mormon situation.
Its unwholesomeness, it's responsiveness
and it's general degradation are it's
very protection. The whole story can
not be told and insinuation seems vul-
gar. And what makes the situation so
intricate, SO almost hopeless, Is that
individually the mass Of the Mormon
people are SO admirable, SO sincere and
SO earnest. Mormon women are as
womanly and as lovable as other wom-
en-. They look the same, act the same
and feel the same as other women.
And yet the women, who constitute
the only spirituality to be found in
all Mormonism, have not been taken
into consideration in their religion, ex-
cept IS they can assist in building up
the glory OF their husbands.
