One of the recent tc1ss for girls has rather better purpose than gener- ally appears in attempts of the sort. It shows a daughter of a rich man who has all her young life been wait ed on by inches, has worn pretty clothes without thinking how they came tO Aer hand and lived so indo- lently that even at school she does not care to keep up with her classes or even to learn tennis.

Another large egg weighing 18-100 of a pound was laid by a Single Comb Rhode Island Red hen owned by Bunker Hill Poultry Farm of Woquot, Mass.

Utah's S First Piano.

They tell me that tho first piano
that was ever brought into tho terri

plains by team upon the order OF Mrs
Hannah J. King. So far as ! can

was an accomplished English lady,
whose poetry was Of such excellence as

those who could trace its history.
