THAT LOST BOM.
r had not a large capital when I began
.my legal studies, s:id bv-tlfo time I Lad
finished my articles it hsul'become so mfach
.diminished that' I deemed it adyisable to
Ipse no time in setting to work 'to earn
my otvn living.. Alter a good deal-of .in
quiry and traveling, about I fixed upon a
quiet, littlo market town of Barton 'in
which ,to begin operations; and, having
taken an office and engaged an office boy,
I notified the inhabitants that I was ready
to render them any legal assistance they
might requireby affixing a brass plate on
the door with my name and description in
scribed thereon.
But the good people of Barton seemed
to be either very peaceably inclined or to
be shy of strangers, for six months elapsed
and the business I had transacted had
been practically nil. Meantime, the bal
ance I had placed at the bank on settling
at Barton was rapidly decreasing.
I was sitting in. my office one afternoon
meditating on these things. It rwas a
hot, drowsy afternoon, which seemed to
have imparted its influence to the inhabi-..
tants, for business appeared to be almost
at a standstill. I had just made up my
mind to leave the office for the afternoon:
and have a littlo fishing before tea, when
the door opened and my office boy entered
again. "Please sir, Mr. Thomas Jackson
wishes to see you," he said.
"Mr. Thomas Jackson!" I exclaimed in
surprise. "Do you mean Mr. Jackson, of
Oakfields farm?'
"Yes, sir Farmer Jackson, answered
the boy.
"Oh, well, ask him in," I said, unlock
ing my drawer and pulling out my papers
and pens. Mr. Jackson was a well to do
farmer, and I was aware that he enter
tained a strong prejudice against law
yers, ho having had a disagreeable trans
action with a rather sharp firm of attor
neys somo years ago.
Mr. Jackson entered tho room rather
hesitatingly, I thought.. After exchanging
greetings I motioned him to a chair and
waited for him to inform me as to tho
nature of his business. After fumbling
about in his breast coat pocket ho drew
out a narrow strip of paper and handed
it to me. 1 found it to bo a writ issued
by Mr. Sharper Flint, a money lender at
Barton, against Mr. Jackson, to recover
the sum of 1,000, with interest, on a
bond given by Mr. William Jackson
(father of Thomas Jackson) to the. said
Sharper Flint for money lent bv him, and
was issued against Thomas Jackson as
executor of his father, who had died some
two years before.
"Well, Mr. Jackson." I said, looking,
up, "this is rather a disagreeable docu
ment. What is the meaning of it?"
"Well, that's jist what I want to
know' said Mr. Jackson.. VI never heard
a word of any such claim, before. I sup
pose it is soma dodge, of that rascally
.Flint. to try and get money out of me."
"You never luard of any such claim
before," I- asked, "although tho writ
states that the bond was given six years
" ''Not a word, sir," answered Mr. Jack
" son; ."I never dreamed of there being
any such claim until yesterday, when the
"-writ was served on me."
- ."I .supposo you were-acquainted with-
your father's affairs?" I asked.
."Yes; "sir. Wo discussed business,
affairs together constantly, and it-was
'very scldom-ha did anything without eon-
siilting-iner Indeed, now I remember, he
. did speak to mo some years ago about
borrowing '1,000,. which' he wanted for a
"- temporary, purpose, from Sharper Flint,
- but -I advised hiiu not to doso, as I had
no faith In him; and ho told mo afterward
. that ho had decided to take my advice."
,- '"I should think -it very unlikely that
your father would- have borrowed so large
a sum without letting you know, and
.without leaving any trace of it among, his
Eapers. I suppose you have been through
. is books a'nd papers?" . " .
." "Yes, 'sir;-1 went "through them all at
-the time probate of tlio will was granted)
and .there is not a trace among them of
any such sum having been borrowed.'"
" "Well,'. I said,-."I think the best thing
will-be for me-to. call on Messrs. Crawley
."& Fop, "Mr- Flint's solicitors, 'and see what
" they -have to say. about the matter, "and if
possible get them to show me the boLdon
'which they claim-"- . -"
- "Yes, I think "that would be the best
way,"; replied -Mr. Jackson; and accord-"Jngly-it
was so arranged. . .
. -I .called-'on Messrs. Crawley & Fox the
next morning as arranged, and was shown
-.into ho office'-of . Mr.-jGrawley, tho. senior

Mr. Crawlev, a withered littlo gentle
.man, was sitting- at a'fablo Jittered with

.papers which usually encumber a "solici--tqrs.-tablc.
" As I-entered ho looked up." .

-'"I have called -to see you about that mat

'signed and sealed "by Mr. William Jackson
"and. witnessed by Mr. Winter, "his. solici
tor. 'I.examined the stamp and looked at.
-the dato. of the. watermark on the paper.
' "but could find bo flaw in-the document at
all
"You will admit," I aaid, "that it is a
- very suspicious circumstance that Mr.
. "Hint should neret have mentioned the
...-fact of bis having any such . bond, and
;-- should not even have applied for the 'in
terest.' -Well. said Mr.. Crawler, tit is un-
fortunate that it- has been left eolong,
"" ' but my client Informs me tnat it was only
intended to be a temporary loan, and he
'therefore did not include it among
: the. amounts he had out on mort
gage, and ou which interest was- payable
regularly: In fact it was overlooked till
the other day, when he had a thorough
stock taking."
I could not succeed -in getting anr
farther information, and therefore took
my leave. I did not believe that Mr.
' "Sharper Flint was the man to forget that
. ..he had an amount of a thousand pounds
.dueto.him.
. . Mr. Jackson called upon me in the after-
noon, and I reported to him what I had
aone.
"I must say,'.' I said, "that so far I do
not see 'that we have any defense.. The
bond purports to be witnessed by Mr.
Winter, your father's solicitor, and on the
face of it appears to be a perfectly genu
ine document."
"Never mind that!" said Mr. Jackson,
bringing his fist down upon the table.
"I-feel certain that my father never had
that money; and I mean to fight him and
make him prove his claim in court."
"Well," I said, "I think it is too large
an amount to nay. without a strict inves
tigation, especially considering the sus
picious circumstance of the. case, and I
think it will be wiser to defend the ac
tion and let it go to trial, and in the
meantime we must make a strict invest!
gation and get a'l -the information we
can."
"You are right, sir," said Mr. Jackson,
"and you need.. not be particular about
"the expense. I shan't .mind paying the
money so much if .they win it 'after a fair
fight." ."
. .. II.'
Shortly after the action commenced. I
happenecT'to want a cupboard in my room
altered. Accordingly one afternoon Mr.
Jolly, a carpenter, made his appearance,
and set to work to make the necessary
alterations,. He seemed to be of a talka
tive disposition, and- after relating some
of the goesip' of the neighborhood, he re
marked: "It's curious in what queer
places lawyers' papers get stowed away
sometimes ain't' it. sirr'
".Well; yes," I.replied; "I suppose they
do get into unlikely places sometimes."
"Yes, sir. .you are right," said Mr.
Jolly. "For instance, I was doing a job
at Mr. Flint's the other day,, and 1 found
a document in the -most unlikely place
you would think of a very important
document, too in fact, a' bond for a
pretty large amount."
I-gavo a start -as. the recollection of the
bond in the case of Flint vs. Jackson
flashed across 'my mind. , Cbntrolllng.my
feelings, I said, in as calm a voice as I
could command: . "Oh, yes, -1 suppose
you mean Farmer Jackson's bona for
1,000' ..
"Why, sir. how in the' world did you
come to know anything about it?" asked
Mr. Jolly, in surprise. "Mr. Flint told
me not to mention the matter to any
body." . ' .
"Oh, I dare say," I said; "but you Bee
we do know about it; and we have reason
to believe that an attempt is being made
to obtain money from Mr. ' Jackson" by
false pretenses; and, unless you- tell me
all you know about, the matter," I shall,
consider you as aiding in the attempt; I'
must, therefore, usk you to tell me.what.
you know about it."
"I am sure I don't wish "to harm Mr.
Jackson in any way," said Mr. Jolly. 'l
thought the only reason for 'keeping 'it
secret was that it was a private matter;
and if it will do Mr. Jackson any good, I.
cm willing to tell you all I know about
it."
"Yes," I said, "it is most important to
Mr. Jackson," and I must ask "you to tell,
me all you know."
"Well, sir." said Mr. Jolly, .-'yOu see
Mr. Flint wanted some alterations made'
to a desk he has hi his office, and amomf
other things be wanted the drawers di
vided into different sized partitions, so as
to hold papers of various 'sizes; and I
went there one morning, before 'any.' one
had come to the office, to' do. the work."
Well, I took one of the drawers out' "of
the desk to put the divisions in, and aft .
tcr I had done so I happened to look into
the compartment from which I had taken
it, and there I saw a- document 'crushed
up against the back, which had evidently
fallen over the end of the drawer. I
pulled it out and'Jooked over it, and found
it-was a bond from. Mr. William Jacksor
to Mr. Sharper Flint-for 1,000. As )
was' examining it Mr. .Flint came. In. H
took it from me and examined it and said:
'Oh, yes; I am very glad indeed you have
found it. I .have, missed this bond fox
some time, and it' might have'.pnt me to
serious inconvenience if I had lost it.
Hero is a sovereign for your trouble; and
I should be glad if you. would not mention
tho circumstance -to anybody, as it is a
private 'matter which I should not like
talked about. You see, I knew that desk
used to belong to Mr! Winter, and when
I saw his name .on- the bond I thought it
might.be one of his papers.' "
"What?" I said. ."Do you mean to say
that that .desk formerly belonged to Mr.
Winter?" . .
"Yes, sir,," answered Mr. Jolly. "He
bought it at the sale of Mr. Winter's ef
fects. I remember the desk well, as I
was at the sale when. ho bought it."
This last information seemed indeed to
bo of a more- important nature, since, if
the desk formerly to.Mr. Winter, it is pos
sible that the bond might have been lost
while it was in his possession.
"Well," I said, "we have reason to be
lieve that that bond does not belong to
Mr. Sharper Flint at alL Will you be
prepared at .the trial to swear to all you
have stated to me today?" "
- "Yes, sir, I shall be prepared to swear
to every word of it."
"Then I shall- dependon you," I said;
' 'and I must ask you not to talk about the
matter tillaf ter the trial."
"Right you are, sir mum's' the word,!
answered Mr.' Jolly, and. shortly after
' ward, having finished his job, he took his
'departure. .- ' - . '
As for me, i hurried .at once to Farmer
Jackson's house at Oakfields and gave him
our account of what I had heard. "I tell
you what my suspicion is' I said. ."That
bond was one of Mr. Winter's, papers; it
was never given 'to Mr. Flint all, and he
did not ' know of its existence till Jolly
found it in the. way I have -told you."-
That's it, sir, you' may depend upon
it," said Mr.. Jackson, giving me a slap on
the' back that nearly knocked me down.
"BvOeorgel. 'sir, well -defeat the scoun
drels yet" . . -.
"Not so. fast, not- so fast," 6aid I, cau
tiously. ".That is my suspicion, bnt I do
"cob think it is sufficient to obtain a ver
dict in a court of justice.' Yon 'see, we
havo' no evidence at all that it did not be
long to' Mr. Flint, and that itwas not lost'
'-while it was in his possession. What we
must do is to try to discover the where
abouts of some of Mr. Winter's clerks and
see if- they remember anything about it."
Accordingly,, we went 'over to thehouse
of one Rogers, an old clerk.
' "Rogers, I said, "cannot you remember
anything about a bond for fl.OOOT
- vNo." answered Rogers. "But I think
tho most likely person to be able to give
you information about It would be' Mr.
Carter, Mr. Winter's manager."
"Where does'he live?" I asked.
"I am -sorry to say I do .not know," an
swered Rogers. - "He left here when Mr.
Winter-died and went to London."
'.."Well," I said to Mr. Jackson, as we
wero-leaylng, "we must use our utmost
endeavors to get hold of Mr. Carter; but
it .would be as well to set to work quietly,
so as nctJto alarm the other side. I think
.the best way will be-to advertise in a few
. of the London papers first, and . if that
fails we can employ a detective." .
It was accordingly arranged that I
should-do'this. I knew a young solicitor
who was in practice in London, and after
some consideration I concocted the follow
ing advertisement:
"Wili Mr. Carter, who formerly resided
at Barton. -kindly communicate with Mr.
.Edward White, solicitor. Bell Yard, Doe
tor's Commons. By -doing so he will
greatly oblige."
I insertea .this advertisement in two
or three of the London papers, and a few
days afterward received a letter from Mr.
- White stating that Mr. Carter -had called
on him with reference to the advertise-,
-ment; that he was with a firm of solic
itors in-the city and would be happy to
see me and 'give me any information in
his power-
As may be, conjectured, I lost no time
in running up'to town and calling on Mr.
Carter. I found him to.be a frank, gen
tlemanly man, of prepossessing- appear
ance, who. willingly told me what he
knew of the matter.
"Yes," said he, "I remember that bond
very well; In fact it was I who drew it.
Mr. William Jackson intended .borrowing
1,000 from Mr. 'Sharper Flint, and gave
us instructions to prepare the bond. He
called in and executed the document, but
told us not to part with it until we heard
from him again, as he had not quite made
up his mind as to whether he would bor
row the money. Mr. "Winter accordingly
"placed the. bond in bis drawer. A few
days afterward we received a letter from
Mr. Jackson saying that he had deter
mined not to borrow- the money, andaak
lWfuatodetroTJJi..cUtd. "Mr. Witter
searcnea tnrougn tne arawer ror tnebond,
' but, to his surprise, it was nowhere to be
found. We searched 'through the office
high and low, but could find no trace of
it, and, so far as I know, it was never
discovered."
"Thank you very much," I said. "That
explains the whole matter; and if we may
rely upon your assistance at the trial, I
think we shall have no difficulty in sub
stantiating our defense."
"Oh, .certainly. I shall be happy to ren
der yon any assistance in my power," said
Mr. Carter; and having thanked him for
his information, I took my departure.
HL
' The trial was fixed to take place at the
next assizes in the neighboring town of
Leighton; and you may be sure that I
and Mr. Jackson and our witnesses were
there in good time. After some other,
cases in the list had been disposed of the
case of Flint vs. Jackson was called on.
Mr. Elsdon. Q. C, and Mr. Sefton ap
peared for the plaintiff and Mr. Herbert,
Q. C, and Mr. Lumley for the defendant.
Mr. Elsdon opened the case on behalf of
the plaintiff.
Mr. Herbert, addressing the court on
behalf of the defendant, submitted that
the evidence which he had adduced proved
that the money had never been advanced,
and that the bond had never been given
to Mr. Flint. Mr. Elsdon replied on be
half of the plaintiff, and endeavored to
make light of the evidence which had
been given.
The learned judge shortly summed up
the case, and the jury then retired to con
sider their verdict.
I had been "so interested in watching
the case that I had noticed nothing else,
but I now looked toward the place where
r Mr. Sharper Flint had been sitting, and
round tnat lie had disappeared. In a few
minutes the jury returned to the court,
and amid a profound silence the clerk-of
I the court asked them the usual question:
. ''SanfloniAn 41ia .w n.w ..si. .. . mj
upon your Terdlct?"
"We are," answered the foreman.
'"Do you.find for the plaintiff or the de
fendant?". . :
' "For the defendant."- I heaved a sigh
-of relief, and,, happening to- look behind
me," saw Farmer Jackson, the1 anxious ex
pression .which ho had worn lately grad-
.ually giving way to his old look of good
hatured contentment.
The judge haying ordered the verdict to
be entered for' the defendant, expressed
an opinion that Mr. Flint ought to be prosH
ecuted tor fraud. Accordingly, as soon
as I left the court I obtained a warrant
-for his apprehension; but we were too
ato, for we found that he had absconded,
faking with him all the money and port
able securities lie. could lay his hands on.
We'-traced.him as far asMudford, a junc
Uqn.abput' thirty miles-from Barton; but
there we.lost all trace of him. However,
he left ample property to satisfy all his
creditors, so nobody was a loser by bis
"flight. ;.-
Since tnat time I have had no reason to
complain for want of practice, as thecase
'brought my name prominently before the
'notice of the public who were pleased to
give me- more credit, than I deserved.
They were confirmed- in this' opinion by
my friend, Mr. Jackson, who. lauded the
way in which i .nau conuucieume case,
and attributed, no small part of his success
to my efforts. He and I continue excellent-
friends to this day. He generally
contrives to run up a moderately long bill
every year,.and a few days after I send it
in, he calls on me with a check for 'the
.amount, and we have a chat over old

WHAT IS LITERARY MERIT!
What
Is the Agreed Cpoa Standard In
trinsic "Literary Worth.
What constitutes "literary merit?"
Each editor thinks he knows. So does
each literary critic. So do tho people who
will tell you that the poems or essays or
- books that live are possessed of it. There
is a sort of agreed upon standard, known
in a -vague way by literary people and
represented by -our best periodicals. By
alt means keep this standard high, and
keep yourselves up to the standard; but
at the same time; once in a while, let
your mind dwell upon the lesson con
tained in the parable of the widow's mite.
If poems or prose writings had intelli
gence, and could think for themselves,
there would be one infallible test for in
trinsic value that they might append to
themselves after they had stood the fur
ther test of time; "Only remembered for
what I have done." For instance, several
years ago.a little poem appeared in one of
our daily papers from .a local author. I
cannot think he was paid for it, nor can
I think any other paper ever thought it
worth, copying for its own columns. I
well remember glancing over-it with a
little bit of contempt in my mind and a
good deal of indifference, and feeling sure
it was quite without "literary merit." It
was about tho "baby boy," a very hack
neyed subject, you will all agree.
Well, the other day my pride of judg
ment received a humiliating blow. A
woman, good and true, in the humble
ranks of life, had seen this poem. Her
own baby boy was only a few weeks old,
and perhaps she had let creep into her
heart the thought that he was something
of a burden, with poverty and hard work
pressing upon her each day. The little
poem struck a higher, better chord than,
that, and the tune of her. thoughts grew
sweeter. She cut it out of the paper and
tucked it into the sewing machine arawer,
and learned it, a lino at a time, -as she sat
at work. Nor did It- stop there; around
among the neighbors it' went, and brought
many a blessing to the little babies in tho
poor, crowded houses.
Question: "Did the poem have literary
merit?" Certainly; its simple phraseology,
its humble truth, its honest purpose,
spoko to the mind as well as the heart of
these people as one of Browning's sonnets
could not-havo done. -
Again: There is a housekeeping paper
published in one 'of our western cities.
'"Very ordinary," I have been wont to pro
nounce it, and after a cursory, indifferent
perusal I have sent away my numbers to
a little housekeeper on - a Virginia "farm.
Sheisa brave little woman, -left,. at the
age of 14, by tho death of her mother, to
bring up the three younger children' and
do the housework. Very limited was her
schooling, of course. For two years, now,
she has had this housekeeping journal,
and I have had her occasional letters. And
how she has grown mentally I It must
have been tho "literary merit" in that
paper that I caUed ordinary, "and could not
waste my time upon.
There is apparent literary value and an
intrinsic one, I feel bound to admit.
There may be -two. ways of considering
whether a poem or' a book lives. If it is
printed over and .over again at the de
mand of the people, all the world knows
it lives.- But it sometimes happens that
it is printed only once, is caught up by
some heart, passed on and on in word or
influence,-and the good it does never dies.
Is it not really "literary merit" that makes
it live the mode of its expression as well
as its inherent thought? I am asking; for
as tne very ena oi my remarns, witn a
full recognition of the value of high
standards, with a just respect for editors,
critics and cultivated readers, but with
an equally ardent appreciation of compar
ative value, I humbly, confess that I do
not know what "literary merit" really is.

Far-lat; te the IadffB Territory.
An official who has spent the best years
of his life in dealing with tho'crimes and
the people of India! territory talked
freely about the condition of things there
He said: " - "
"The end of the present political con
edition of the Indian territory is not far
loff. I look for it within ten years. The
railroads, the great number of white men,
and the peculiar Conditions existing there
are hastening a,solution of the problem.
I find on talking with the principal men
among the Indians that they agree with
me. The railroads get no grant, but the"
employes are allowed to settle onxtne
right of way. The towns are ..full of
white men ''without rights,, and in such
numbers as to be undisturbed, and to
possess privileges that no-ono disputes.
"The manner in which 'the soil is
worked is most peculiar and forms one of
the greatest abuses and one of the strong
est agencies'for tho overthrow of the In-,
dian supremacy. The fact that the land
js-ri'ch and valuable, taken in conjunction
with'' the fact that tho Indian does not
like'to work, has naturally brought about
a condition in which the whites do the
work and take a large share of the profit
and give the Indian the rest. Under the
law no Indian can sell or rent his prop
erty, but he evades tho law very easily.
He turns his property over to the white
man by pretending to hire him as a farm
laborer. The white man, to all intents
and purposes, becomes the farmer and
manages the farm, and yet is registered
under the Indian law as a mere farm hand
hired by the land holder.. The plan of
renting is called the third and fourth sys
tem, the white man paying the Indian
one-third of the yield of corn or a fourth
of the yield of cotton.
"This evasion of- the- law that brings
whites in to operate the farms, 'the inter
marriage of whites among the Indians by
which the whites become entitled to a
full citizen's share of the land as if they
were Indians, are all weakening the In
dian hold upon his own territory and
tending to bring the-present system to an
end. What then? That is a serious and
peculiar question. An evil of great mag
nitude has been allowed to -grow up m
-the territory. Enterprising Indians, half
breeds and whites who got full- rights by
marrying squaws, have done what you or
I would under the law accumulated largo
holdings. Many have 8,000 to 10,000 or
even 20.000 acres iu their Claims. The
law says that a man belonging to any of
the nations may pre-empt a quarter of a
milo around his cabin. Tho- enterprising
man takes that quarter of a mile, goes a
quarter of a mile further on and takes an
other claim and so gets all the land that
he could improve and till." New York
Sun.
TfooU for the Xylophone.
i "I was the inventor, or introducer, more
properly speaking, of ihexylophone.whlch
i instrument you know is composed of a
series of wooden bars arranged like the
mctalaphono on a frame."
"You were not tho inventor of the xyl
ophone, then?"
"I might bo so called, I suppose; but
the Chinese, I believe, were the real in
' ventors of -that kind of Instrument. I
think there is one made by the Chinese in
the Smithsonian. institution. This nation
also invented .the system of producing
musical notes from stones or pieces of
uetal suspended from a frame."
"Do other manufacturers besides your
self make xylophones?"
"Yes; but I stand practically alone as a
maker of. the finest variety. When I in
troduced the xylophone into orchestras
' somo years ago they became so popular
that a large demand for them was felt.
To supply this demand many makers of
musical instruments went into tne manu
facture of. cheaper grades, and they an
now- sold as low as fifty cents. I still,
however, get my original price of $15."
"What is tho best wood for this pur
pose?" "I have finally settled upon locust after
trying every other kind. The advantages
possessed by locust are that -it is' more
elastic and less oily than other woods. It's
funny, too, how I happened to think .of
locust. I was standing talking to' a friend
late one evening on a street corner, when
a policeman sounded his club' upon the
pavement. -The quality of tho musical
note it made attracted my attention, and
as I knew policemen's night sticks were
mado of locust I tried the same wood suc
cessfully ou the xylophone." "-Brooklyn"
Eaglo.. '
In m Mexican Market Sqoare.
Passing on-through the market place I
emerged suddenly from a'side exit into
tho market square. Just iu front of -me
sat four or five groups surrounding a
bunch of smoking faggots, and as 1 ap
proached them a little girl or boy would
step forward and 'offer for sale strings of
glass beads or baskets' of images made by'
Indians irom clay. 1 bought several of
theso images and narrowly escaped being
cheated in the process,' for the little rogues
who are playing merchants know when
they have a stranger to deal with, and,
although .they smile at you, showing their
white, pearly teeth, they will give you
the wrong change if they can.
Just beyond these groups I saw. other
groups seated about large, square holes,
which had been dug in the ground. At
first I could not understand this, but
after awhile I found out that they were
engaged in roasting the century plant.
The holes in the ground were apparently
three feet deep and perhaps four feet
across the top. Inside these holes they
had placed a half dozen stalks of the plant
over smoking faggots, and from 'the
smoldering fire there issued, a volume of
smoke and the sound of escaping pulque.
By and by a Mexican strode up threw
down a three cent piece, and, without a
word, one of the agile boys jumped into
the hole, chopped off a bit of the wood
and delivered it to the purchaser, who
went away munching on It as though it
was the leg of a chicken. The juice of
the maguey is sweet and intoxicating, and
a great many of the Mexican people are, 1
regret to say, slaves of its power. "R.

la a Mormon Sunday School.
It is easy to see how largely the foreign
element prevails here among the' Mor
mons. There were in Utah in 1880 about
44,000 foreigners to. 100,000 natives, and
since then there have 'been about 18,000
Mormom immigrants. These immigrants
are chiefly English and Scandinavians,
and you may see Swedish faces every
where. In the Sunday school which I
visited -there was a Swedish class which
was taught in the Swedish language.
This Sunday school is worthy of men
tion. After the administration of the
sacrament the school divided up into
classes, and in these classes the sexes
were always separated. During my visit
one of the teachers kept constantly -with
me as I went from class to class, and It
seemed to 'me that the teaching was
largely for the benefit of the visitors rather
than for the scholars. I was offered
the "Book of Mormon" and asked to read
with the pupils in turn as the reading
went around the .class. ' After reading a
chapter a young manexplained.it much

Cleaning- Linen Wltbent Soap.
According to L'Industrie Parisienne, a.
laundryman in the vicinity of Paris has
discovered a very ingenious, method of
cleaning linen without soap. He uses no
soap or lye. nor chlorine, bnt replaces
these substances by boiled potatoes, with
which he rubs the linen. This curious
process, it appears, is much -superior to
those hitherto employed, andtne worst
soiled cotton, linen or silk, cleaned by
this method, are made whither than they
could be by the use of an alkali. Besides,
the method has the advantage that brushes
can be dispensed with and well water be
used. frank Leslie s.

however, for in spite of her great wealth
she was miserable. It was her lot, in

to suffer from those "chronic weakness
