one pound OF rice and pick it THOROUGHLY
to get out black seeds or rcd rice. Put on
the tire in a porcelain or tin-lined pot,
three quarts OF water with two even table,
spoontuls OF salt. Let the water come to
boil. Now wash the rice in three wa
ters. The reason for this is to get rid of
the pulverized rice flour which adhcrcs to
the grain. This is necessity; otherwise
the rice never will be dry. Throw the
rice i'll the water when it is at the full
boil. Let the rice boil rapidly for
20 minutes. Put the cover on and drain
the water entirely off. Cover the pot.

spoon; at the concl fusion add a half tea
spoonful Of chopped parsley. In Summer,
mayonnaisc sauce will not thickcn at

Going into debt was a very COM

Farmers have seen the evil of 1t.
They have seen that it is much easier
to get into debt than it Is to get out
of it. 1t is like getting into quick
sand. Every effort to get out only
sinks one deeper. The cash system

A very interesting and curious exhibition
given by NJ Baudre at Charlier Institute yesterday
afternoon. M Baudre made the accidental discovery
of musical notes in pieces Of flint. and for twenty
four years he has been collecting enough of these
stones to make chromatic scale. He has now
perfected his discovery and has made musical
instrument of the Same general idea tho
harmonicon. but which Is much more powerful.
The stones, which or various sizes and
form, are just he found them. no
artificial aid being brought to bear in adapting
them to this use. The instrument is composed or
iron FRAME along the top of which the stones
suspended by means of stout twine; then. with two
bits OF stone that have resonance, M. Baudre
played variety Of tunes. making nice harmonies
and bringing forth exceedingly sweet tones. The
stones are not regulated by weight as entirely dit
ferent notes weigh just the same; the musical
quality is something given them by nature. Besides
tho stones M. Baudre had d number of bits of wood
about the of old fashioned clothcspin which
he threw the marble floor one at time. and they
produced the regular notes Of the scale with remark
able correctness. The singing stones. however, are
the more interesting of NJ. Baudres discoveries.

OF houses absent on vacation. Among those ar
rested were Alexander higgins. Michael Murphy and
George Leonard for burglary. They pleaded guilty
to robbing the house of Flavius l. Allen. at No. 241

leader. to the State Prison for fifteen years. and
Leonard and Murphy for twelve years and six months

Court Of General Sessions the accused placed
trial by Assistant District Attorney Bell. ex-Judge
Cochrane and w. +. Knitting appearing for the de-
fence. The specific charge was that of receiving
goods that had been stolen from Mr.. Alien.
When the case was called Mr.. Cochrane moved that
the indictment be quashed OH the ground that Mr..

il counsel on the other side would not object he
would enter nolle prosequi. This was accordingly
done ana new indictment subsequently found

injustice to the people in allowing accused party

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. II. - Apostle
Joseph Smith in the Salt Lake Tabernacle
Sunday afternoon delivered a furious
speech, which has greatly added to the pop
ular excitement He said: 1--WE have been
turning the other cheek long enough, and
it is now about time to change our pol
icy. We have submitted to the abuse and
misrepresentation OF that damnable sheet
long enough, and now it must be stopped. P"
This was greeted with "amen" from the
whole congregation. The Apostle then ad-
vised his hearers to procure effective fire.
arms, and not delay doing it.


In the Fourth Wald meeting-house the
same evening the speakers recommended
their hearers to secure arms, and to sell
their clothing if they had not money to
purchase them. The gun shops were busy
yesterday selling firearms and taking old
ones to repair.

Numerous fanciful notions are enter
tained regarding bats. They are said to
be able to see in the dark, and that they
are bloody and vengeful in their nature.
As concerns seeing in the dark, that is
quite erroneous Their power of avoid
ing obstacles when flying in the dark
ened places is not due to their eyes, but
to keen sensibility in tLeir wings. The
thin leathery wings Of bats are their an
tenn@ or reelers. Darling about in all
directions in utter darkness, they are
never by any chance impeded or injured
by obstacles that happen to be in their
way Experiments have been made by
stretching strings across darkened places
in which a number of them are confined,
and nc string is ever disturbed in their
fight. The exquisitely radiated system
Of nerves in bats wing offers one of
the finest studies in animal physiology,
or, we might say, in natural theology.
Shall creature so ingeniously formed
be spoken of with sentiments of hostility
or derisionl On the contrary, it should
excite our warmest admiration. Artists
from time immemorial have been in the
habit of depicting malevolent demons
with wings en- the pattern of those of the
bat-a piece of conventionality wholly
at variance with what is learned from a
contemplation Of the actual facts in
nature. The bat is no more tiendish
than the swallow or any other bird which
has been appointed to rid the atmos-
phere Of superfuous and destructive
insects -Chamher's ] Journal.

The Shakopee (Minn.) Argus says:- MT. Cichia Lensburg, Le Sueur county, got on spree Monday, at Montgomery, and offered to wager that he could swallow the glass contained in whiskey flask. The wager was taken up by one of the party present, whereupon the drunken man proceeded to swallow the pulverized glass and also tallow candle. Strange to relate, that night he felt no ill effects caused by the rash deed, but next day the glass began to cut and grind his bowels, compelling the man to writhe and scream in agony. This con- tinued until Thursday morning, when the poor wretch was brought to New Prague, in the delusive hope that a physician could save him from his inevitable and fast approaching death. Of course no physicians skill could now save or even prolong the life which had been so deliberately, though un- knowingly, taken. It was pitiful and heartrending to hear the poor mortal moan and scream ill agony as the death dealing glass slowly but constantly cut It's way into the vitals. This could not long continue, however, and death kindly relieved the suffering man Thursday afternoon. A post~mortem examination was held, and the mans stomach and intestines were found to be literally ground to pieces.

 A wife and nine children are left de- pendent by the foolhardiness of man crazed by drink. This may prove a timely warning to those addicted to the excessive use of substance so deadly in it's final effects as that swallowed by the man who came to so untimely an end.

"Spirit photography" is thus ex- plained by a Rochester photographer: "I take a piece of glass and on 1t l paste the photographed heads of such 'spirits as I wish to reproduce in hay outlines about the head of the sitter. In the centre of the glass I put nothing, but arrange the 'spirits in semi circle. Then from this prepared plate I take a negative and afterwards positive. When a sitter comes for photographs take 8 negative just as would any ones. When the printing IS done I place the positive plate of the sitter under the positive plate of the 'spirits," and allow the sun to print both. The sspirits being in semi circle the finished photograph appears as if the sitter was surrounded by heads in the air"

 "I brought it from home," said he.

 "That's very likely" she said, "and is something like your abuse of Judge Crane this morning. You called him a rusty, fusty, crusty old fudge, an old codger, and said you did not care rye straw for him more than you did for yourself"

 At this point the disabilities of the company could no longer be restrained, and laughter came loud and long. One of them at last told the lady that the gentleman she was addressing was Judge Crane.

 "He Judge Crane, she exclaimed in- credulously. "He looks more like Q snipe than crane." Whatever else she laughter. AS it subsided, the judge said:

 Madam, I must confess that am not bird of very fine feathers, but I assure you that am crane, and crane is often very useful instrument. I saw very good one in your kitchen this morning."

 Having been assured the Judge Crane to whom she was speaking was the pre- siding judge, she became profuse in her apologies, but he, with graceful dignity, cut them short, and saying that, not withstanding his little joke, he hoped they would hereafter be friends, he pre- sented her with the shawl for which he paid twelve dollars as an earnest of their reconciliation. The good lady accepted the gift in the spirit in which it was given, and retired in confusion to talk over the events of the day with Betty and the others.
