Tho pulpit seems ns if it weio a flight of ihrcc steps ileFcendii'g to the ground fl.ior. Tho first fi ght or stand is the sc:it of the prophet and president of th.i .Mormon church. This ollice is vacant at present. Wilford Woodruff is prophet pro tem pore. The second stand is occupied by the twelve apostles; and the third or lowest, by the presidents of the high priests of seventies. To the south the Mormons designate position in their tarictuaries by the cardinal points of the compass of thoso diffnitaries sit numerous ciders and seventy high priests to the north, tho bishops and the counselors. This corps of ecclesiastics is separated from the audience by railings, except where the pulpit makes a descent. Cn tho ends of the railings repose two hugo lions. Ten feet abovo tho railings be gins the gallery, which runs mound tho building in a horseshoe curve, and on its lowe r edge are three hundred gas jets, studded with porcelain globes, l he ceiling is concave and liunjr with decorations that were placed there thir teen years ago in commen-.oriiou of a hunday-school jubilee.

J Hiring tho invocation the saints are slightly bowed iu reverence; the Gentiles aro in an attitude as if witnessing un opera. Another hymn is sung; the con gregation remains seated. An elder at ' the communion table asks a blessing on the bread, which is then distributed in silver baskets among the faithful. The Mormons commune on every Sabbath. While the bread is being passed, a bishop resembling a ward politician arises nnd states that the lot has fallen upon him to address this people. "The most im portant duty of a servant of Jehovah is to Iced the bread of lifo to his flock.

The spirit of prophecy lay dormant for lsutt yea's, then an angel appeared to Smith, and gave him the keys to ius'itute the restoration of the ten tribes of Israel. We have gathered together under the conviction that wo are these tribes Abraham settled in a new country; K have tho Latter Day faints. The geography of our land corresponds to that ol Palestine. This is the kingdom of God. Christ will reign here person ally among His people. There are numerous signs that Christ will soon make His second advent." Here he read from the Mormon Bible aud a part of 1st. Matthew xxiv., to corroborate his assertion. 'J ho only difference he could see between the two prophecies was that Smith's was clearer xvhrist s. ! Tin ends tho first part of the sermon.

As Russia is a close competitor with us in growing wheat it is interesting to learn tho actual cost of producing this grain in that country. A Kussiau agri cultural expert gives a somewhat aston ishing account of the cost of wheat crowing in the province of Jiiga. With such prices as ho gives, the statement of the Hi ssinn Minister of Agriculture, that wheat growing, as a rule, has not paid at recent prices, seems almost in credible. He states that three acres of wheat costs him less than $20 to grow, wh le the produce, l'J bushels per acre, realized ;!, leaving a prolit of $l"i on the three acres, after paying rent aud all other expenses. Tho low cost of produc tion is accounted for by the wages paid to laboiers, regular hands getting only 12 cents a day, and extra men, in sum mer, 20 cents a day for H hours' work, exclusive i f mealtimes. As for horses' keep, it is put Jown at 10 cents a day. grass land being free, so that horses cot noihing during the summer.

When the corn is shelled tho cobs are worth caring for, for various useful pur pose. They make tho best fuol for tho smokchouie, giving the hams and bacon a dclicato and agreeable favor, free from tho pungency of oak and other wood which contains much acid. When; steeped in keroene oil ihcy make good kindling for fires, and they aro equally good for this purpose when saturated with a solution of one pound of saltpeter in two gallons of water, nnd dried. They then burn fiercely, giving out quick, heat suh'icient to kindle a coal fire, I Hut they are also good for feeding, ai they contain as much uutrimcnt as straw, and where straw is scarco the whole carsl may be ground together with advan-: tac.o. The husks aro still more mi ! tritious, and may be ground up with the ears in appropiialo nulls mndo for the purpose.

Tho great mistake of those who begin the cultivation of potatoes is that they; do not commence soon enough. They, find the price high at planting time; conclude then that a crop will be a Iirofitablo investment, plow their land,' my seed at a high price, put it in with as little care as possible, aud generally make a failure, hither tho crop is poor, or the price at selling time is low, as it is very apt to bo when seed potatoes are dear. If we wanted to give the best assurance of a successful lesnlt, we would reverse every ono of the condi tions herein specified. riant most) freely when potatoes at planting time are cheap. The preparation of the cround ought to begin at least tho fall before. . If it is a sod, cover it liberally withj whatever manure can bo spared. Most; of this will, by tho next spring, work its way down through tho soil, fertiliz ing and making active the fertility in the particles ns it follows down tho grass; or clover roots, j no shelter to tho sur face will make tho grass leaves turn pale, and as soon as the land is plowed, the manure and grass roots will cause a rapid fermentation, that will keep tho soil moist all summer. On land thus prepared tho grower is reasonably sure of a profit, whether the selling price of potatoes be high or low. llo will grow them as cheaply as anybody, and it is cheap growing, not high prices, that insures potato profits. iiuiton Cultivator. Cause and Remedy for Heaves. This common disease of horses is not situated in tho lungs, but in tho larynx or that part of thu throat which firt"ro ccives the air respired through tho nos trils and conveys it to tho bronchial tubes, through which it passes to the lungs, j he larvnx is covered with an exquisitely sensitive membrane, which is excited to violent action when touched by an irritating substance, as any pun gent gas or dust, or any solid matter. ihis action causes what is known as cough. Continued irritation produces constriction of the membrane and the. muscles of tho organ, and this becomes permanent iu time nnd causes difficulty in breathing. This disease is known as asthma in persons and heaves in norscs. It is spasmodic and occurs whenever the laryngeal membrano is irritated by any oust or other irritating matter, or. when unusual stress is caused by violent, exertion. It is constitutional, and is' caused also by tho ue of dry meal, dusty; hay or mildewed food; and ns clover: hay is always dusty this fodder is the most common cause of the disease. lien such focd is avoided or it is cut up and wetted, and meal is mixed with it, the disorder is delayed and in time will be' cured if there has not been an organic change of tho larynx and a permanent euro rendered impossible in conscciuence. The origin of the disea-e is obviously nervous, for the sensitive naturo of the membrane is due to tho excitability ofj the nerves with which it is provided as a measure of safety to pioserve tu breathing apparatus from injury. It is consequently allayed by nerve sedatives, and these are uselul in severe casci caused by careless exposure to the cause4. Two drams of lobelia, or twenty grains, of stramonium, or tho smo'.NO of burning' leaves of stramonium ijimson weed) are useful. Hut there can be no permanent cure ns long as dry, dusty food is used,, or the dust of any mildew is suffered to bo breathed by tho animal. Fellinjr and Seasoning Timber. While the durability of timber does not wholly, depend on the time when it is cut, the latter has in most cases un in-' tluence in its preservation that should cause the felling to bo done ut that sea son when thcro is the least fermentable' sap in the tree. This would indicate, winter as the proper time, and of tho winter months December might fairly1 have tho piefercnce, not only as fully, meeting this requisite, but also in or-; dir.arily being a more agreeable time for( outdoor work than the succeeding ones.' Much timber is lost for lack of care after it is cut, by which not only is tho ma terial wasted, but an additional cxpon-' diture of labor is required in replacing what might have lusted longer had it been felled at tho right time and prop erly seasoned belore it was used. Espe cially will this be tho caso with timber cut in tho sap und used for posts or placed in contact with the ground while in a green state. To prevent tho growth of ferments or fungi in the sup, which leads to decay, the sap must be dissolved, leached out or dried out, and somo measure adopted to prevent moisture Irom ro entering tho wood. Where thoroughly dried wood is used for posts iu the ground they will last much longer than green, for the rea son that with hard wood it will be a con siderable time I eforo moisture from the soil has jienetrated them thoroughly, and then it will not be as active in caus ing decay as the original sap. Persons sometimes use paint, mineral oils, or gas-tar on posts uot thoroughly seasoned, but tho practice of coating badly tea-. soiled timber with uny substance will hasten decay instead of preventing it. There are many complicated and ex pensive wavs by which wood may be preserved that ure within the reach of manufacturers, hut, ordinarily, the farmer cannot avail him-elf of such, and should seek the best methods for natural preservation by avoiding practices that lead to nutural decay. Timber tint is, kept housed, entirely dry and away from the influence of a humid atmosphere, will last ulmost indelinifely, but the sills and lower joists of buildings, although pcrlectly protected from rain, will, un der certain conditions, often be found after a few years eaten up ith dry rot, first appearing in white patches and afterward changing to darker shades. This is occasioned by dampness aud a close, confined air, owing ihielly to a want of proper ventilation. Timber kept entirely submerged iu deep water, or in a deep soil, excluded from the atmosphere, practically will not decay. This has been demonstrated by tho occasional finding of trees iu tho depths of an alluvium, where they bad been buried probably for g,es. At a 'urh WorlJ. W. C. T. U.

Sew Yorli Grailiia PrORressiveiipss of Alcohol Habit. 'Ihne is a deep significance in the expres si. n ol the j op liar phrase which describes a moi I id p iss oii as grow ing upon the habit of its victim. Three grains of opium suHice to stimulate a I eg. liner, yet continued opium eat- rs have been known to require a dose of eighty grains, lletel nut chewers begin with tickling the tip of their tongue, and come to haul er for a whole mouthful of their acrid Iliiliiesh enters, after the end of a year, have to satisfy their craving with more than tho ttniold quantum of the original rinse. The renson is that every form of un nalurnl excitement is followed by a depres s.ng ii a um, hich in the course of time so blunt Iho aded nerves mat iney ai iasi ro s' ond only to the ino-t powerful stimulnnU. In other words tho poison slave has to resort to larger ni.d larger doses of irritants to rouse his svstem from ever lower depths of depressing exhaustion. The further we stray Irom nature the harder we si all Iind the tusk to retrace our steps, and the pro gn ssiveness of every uiiiintiiral stimu ant habit is proportioned to the noxiousness of the stimulating drug. In that respect. t o, alcohol betrays its claim to the rank of a v.ru'ent poison. Pram drinkers, alter a year or two, become conscious of an ever-in-erenaing temptation to enlarge the quantum of their wonted tipile, or else resort to a nmie concentrated form of the same poison. Wine drinkers progr.ss from a gln-sful a week to a bottle a dity; Leer drinkurs from a single to a dozen quart: cider di inkers graduate from weaker to stronger brands, and come to con-irier lhe less powerful stimu hints ruther too insip d to deserve the name of a tonic. Like a strangling creeper upon a forest tree, the alcohol vice grows upon its victims, nni that intnl ible pronressiveiiess of the habit is alone nil abundantly sullicieiit argument against the sophisms of the com promise party that recommended a "mod erate use' of alcoholic twverugos, and might as well em oui age a child in a moderate use ol the privilege to play about the brink of a slipis'iy precipice.
