Hut often yon will hour some easy ..• > ;nj housekeeper say: “That’s too much trouble; I have enough other things to do without bothering with accounts. Besides, what’s the use? It costs you just so much to live anyway, and keeping ncconnts won’t make the amount tiny

l.a:’\ or ineflb imt folk are seldom at a loss for self-juslilleatimi of this sort Some of us can remember the oldfashioned country storekeeper who tisi i| to spend most of his time sitting on a Imx whiltling or gossiping with the loafers when he should have been studying his business.

WHEN SAINTS ENTERED UTAH

highe:

July 24 Has Been Known as “Pioneer Day” Since the Fcunding of Salt Lake City. Brigham Young, lending a company of Mormons numbering 147. of whom all. excepting two women and the same iitiniher of children, were men, entered Great Salt l.ake valley and founded Utah, at Salt Lake City. July 24, 1847. on the previous day the founder, reclining in Apostle Woodruff's carriage, sick with mountain fever, caught the first glimpse of the valley from the summit of the mountnin. “Kuough,” he said, "this is the right plnee; drive on." Since this entry Into the promised land the day has been called Pioneer day. I'nder the control and guidance of Brigham Young the work was begun that converted a wilderness, where it was predicted that not an ear of corn could grow, into one of the most fruitful garden places of the world. About three years after this the territory of Utah was organized, with Young as governor. Sortie feeling of ill-will grew up between the non-Mormon members of ihe government and the Mormons. Outside of Cl ah. opposition to Mnrmoiiistn was grently increased by Young's publication in 1S.'2 of Smith's “revolution" on the eternity of the marriage covenant, including plurality

of wives.

According to official estimates there are about *PHMX>0 Latter Lay Saints,

mostly in Utah.

Pet Wife of Congo Chief Put to Death When Fickle Lord Tires of Her Charms. An African chief may possess 1,000 wives, hut the chief who has two pet wives at the same time or keeps any j two wives in the same house is yet to he found. To he the pet wife of the chief, to i know that one is pointed out by th«* I entire village as a beauty and the | honored one. sounds rather alluring, j but to know that one may lose one’s i head when a more attractive success or appears Is sufficient cause for hesl- j tation on the part of the bride when the chief comes a-wooing. Jewelry that is worn by the pet of a Congo chief Is Interesting. A neckpiece of bouton and curved brass, perhaps two and one-half inches thick, eight Inches In diameter and weighing 2S pounds, is shaped like the letter I C. After this ornament is placed j about the neck of the chief’s pet she | lies down with her head on a rock and i the ends arc closed with heavy ham- j biers. Heavy anklets and bracelets accompany the neckpiece, so that she | dally carries about with her from 'id 'o .90 pounds of jewelry. As she walks about tbc village she Is the center of attraction. She may hold this enviable position for live or six years, or at least until the ehlef n ay choose another beauty. Whenever Ibis occurs ber dootp I- sealed.

But besides that, under those condition* ! there must be monotony; Ihe poet's «rl, admirable as It Is. gives room for objections. There wys looseness nnd carelessness, partly belonging to Ids age, partly bis own. In the use of materials, nothing comes amiss to him. He bad no scruples as a copyist. He took without ceremony any piece of old metal—word, story or Image which came to his hand, and threw it into the fuelling pot of his imagination, to come out fused with his own materials, often transformed, but often unchanged. The effect was sometimes happy, but not always so. —Church.

"Before using j delicate china place It In a pun of 1 cold water. Let It come gradually to the boil and allow the china to remain In the water till cold."

The fincestry of Ihe floral fete reaches hack to the days of Ovid, the poet. As for when flower shows were first held In Knglnnd, It earned be certainly known, but It Is a faet that If they did not actually Intraduce them, the worsted inarm lac turers from Flanders, fleeing the wrath of Philip and Alva, In 1.V17, gave « fillip to the practice.

Great American Tragedienne. One of the greatest tragediennes of the last century, Charlotte Saunders Cushman, died in Boston nearly half a century ago, leaving behind her one of the most Inspiring and splendid memories in nil the history of the stage. Miss Cushman was horn In Boston July 29. 181fi. Her early ambition was musical, nud she was Just at the beginning of a successful operatic career when ber voice failed. Her loss to music was a gain to the drama. She first appeared as Lady Macbeth In New Orleans, and soon gained rank In Kngland and America as the foremost actress of the Knglish-speuking world. Forty-five years ago the great actress began her farewell tour of America, and on n day In May, 187.'. an audience that tilled the Globe theater In Boston saw charlotte Cushman's last appearance on the stage. She died In less than a year afterward.

Palmerston. In Ihe first place, II was always asserted. with emphasis and even with acrimony, that he (Palmerston) was not n whig. Gladstone, who did not much like whlggery, though he often used whigs, laid It down that "to he a whig a imin must be a born whig.” nnd I believe that the doctrine is ubsn lutely sound. Blit Palmerston was born and bred a tory, and from Iso? to 1830 held office In tory udmlnistra Hons. The remaining 9.'> years of his life he spent, for the most part, In whig administrations, hut a whig he was not. The one thing In the world which he loved supremely was power and. as long us this was seeiircd, he did not trouble himself much about the political complexion of hi* a isoelates.--O. W. E. Husserl.

Known as Laziest of Birds. The laziest of birds Is the frogmouth. He sleeps nil day, and at night. Instead of flying about In search of food, he sits on a limb and literally walls for the insects to come and feed him. He Is such a sound sleeper that you can push him off his perch with u slick and not wake him. He Inhabits Australia and the Islands of the Indian ocean. In size the frogmouth resembles the whippoorwill, and gets his name from Ids wide mouth, which serves as his Insert trap. Ton Inzy to fly for his food, like other birds, he crawls along the limb of a tree, opening his vide mouth and snapping It shut, catching what flies nnd gnats come within his range. At night he perches with his mete on the roofs of houses, on fences, or stumps. Only after the sun goes down does lie show any Inclination to move about. Petroleum in Mexican Lake. For hundreds of years Mexican Indians hud a horror of what they called the pest spot of Lake I’hapnln. near the shore lit Tlzapnn. They would not bathe in It or sail around It. declaring that the water was oily. Then, after a time, they cautiously begun to [mint wooden boats with this oil, which proved so effective In keeping out the wnter that it became the general custom to use It. They did not know Hint this was petroleum gushing up through the water—a magnificent flow, nhoiit two mllcn out in the lake, which lo this day gushes apparently without varying. When the water Is low petroleum floats in solid masses, each large globule weighing about 25 pounds.

The first whent that ripened hi Fsnnilian sunshine was grown In BV17 at Fort Itoyal, now Annapolis Basin, Nova Scotia. Here Champlain and dc Monts founded a post nnd built a fort. They were joined by Marc Lescarbot, a lawyer of Farls, a poet, and the earliest writer of Canadlnn history. Love of adventure drew him to Fort Itoyal. Outside the palisades of the fort he cultivated a plot of land In part of which he sowed wheat, j brought, of course, from France. Ills - sowing was fall or winter wheat.

Their names nre variously given, hut those most generally admitted fo the honor are Solon, Chllo, Flttaeus, Bins Ferlnnder (In jdace of whom wimti give Eplmenldes), Cleohulus and Thales. They were the authors nf the ci lebrated mottoes Inscribed in Inter days in the Delphian temple. These mottoes, with the name of the author of each, were: “Know Thyself,” by Solon; “Consider tin* end,” by Chllo; “Know thy opportunity,” by Flttaeus: "Most men are had," hy Bins; "Nothing Is impossible to Industry." hy Ferlnnder; “Avoid excess,” by Cleohulus; and “Suretyship is the precursor of ruin," hy Thnlcs.
