A WOMAN’S LIFE IN UTAH.
Son»<* of 1l»<* Mviitnl \iiKiii«h Tliut Im
luumm! br Volyunmy.
No Mormon woman will talk from ;
her heart to a stranger, notably and i
essentially when that person is a gen
tile, (in M< rmondom, every one who is
not a Mormon is a gentile, ) for site
knows by sad experience that this
would but increase her sufferings. Os
all sacrifices that have ever been exact
ed of the single, loving heart of true
wife and mother in the name of reli
gion, none can equal those of polygamy,
which these women were taught would j
be practiced through all eternity, as it '•
was “the celestial order of heaven,” an i
eternal law
Under its baneful influence a wife
lived in the same house with her hus
band, surrounded by their children, a
lonely, disci m-olate woman. The confi
lence and respect that should have
lliited their h arts, made one their in
terests, is first defiled and then destroy
'd. She early learns to be silent and
observing. After their evening meal, if
she see- her husband make as careful
and elaborate a toilet as their circum
stances permit, she dares not ask him
where he is going. But that fear that
ever abides in the heart of every Mor
mon wife tats, cankerlike, at her vi
tality
She may try to drive these thoughts
I away, she may say to herself, ‘‘No;
whatever other men may’ do, however
they may deceive their wives, my hus
band will be honest and true. He will
nut deceive me. " Up almost to the hour
that she is expected to go to the ‘‘en
dowment house” and place the hand
of the second wife in that of her hus
band she gives her hungry soul this
soothing balm. But ultimately she
must awaken to the fact that no man
can practice polygamy without becom
ing a hypocrite. Many of these women
believe, or try to believe, that polyg
amy is a revelation from God and con
sequently must be obeyed.
But if any gentile woman will try
to think how she would feel if her hus
band were to teli her that he is soon to
bring into their home a second wife to
usurp her place in the family circle,
tdi:,i<- her husband’s affection, come be
tween her and the man who had been
her all in asl for so many years, that
v-f iii.'iwill have arrived at a full, per
feet, exact v. inprehension of what a
Mormon woman suffers.—-Arena.
WEATHER FROGS.
Small Living IlarometerM Which Are
Imported I’rom Germany.
Attached to a glass sided box seen in a
bird store window was n placard mark
ed “Weather Brogs. " Within the box.
perched on two long wooden rods, plac
ed lengthwise < f it and nearer the top
than the bottom, like the higher perches
in a birdcage, were a number of the
weather frogs themselves. Some just
then w< re brown, and one was green.
They were little tree frogs of a kind
found through Europe, those in the
window having been imported from
Germany
When full grown, these tiny tree
frogs may be little more than an inch
in length They take the color of what
ever object they may be resting on —
brown for wood, green if on a leaf;
placed in a blue glass jar they will be
come bine. They may be heard but not
I seen, so cloiely in color do they resem
| lili- whatever they may have perched up-
I on. They are called weather frogs be
! cause at the approach of rainy or
changeable weather tiny jump into the
water, at the approach of clear weather
they coni ' out again.
In captivity the weather frog is kept
in a glass jar or globe, which is cover
ed at the top with a win -cieen. Wa
ter is put in the bottom of the jar, and
at a convenient height is placed some

THE CAUSE OF
DYSPEPSIA.
Loss of Vitality Known to be the Parent of this Oread
Disease—The Method of Cure that Has
Proved Most Successful.
I ’-i>>,i the Ileiiublican, Scranton, Penna.
The most common of all human ailment. [ i
is deranged digestion: the most aggravating i ’
disease, inherited by man, dyspepsia. In-! ‘
sidious in its nature, varied in its forms it i
tortures its victims, baffles the skill of phy- 11
sieians and the power of medicine. - i
The primary cause of dyspepsia is Inck of
vitality; r |he absence of nerve force ; the loss
of the life-sustaining elements of the blood. I
It is a truism that no organ can properly '
perform its function when the source of ■
nutriment fails; when it is weakened on one ! ;
■ hand and over-taxed on the other. When ' <
the stomach is robbed of the nourishment .
demanded by nature, assimilation cea.es un- i
natural gases are generated, the entire sys-; i
tem responds to the discord.
A practical illustration of the symptoms I
and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the
case of Joseph T. Vandyke, 440 Hickory St., '
Scranton, Pa.
In telling hi. story Mr. Vandvke says:
“Five years ago, I was aftflcted with a ;
trouble of the stomach, which was very
aggravating. I had no appetite, could not
enjoy myself at any time, and especially 11
was the trouble severe when I awoke in the ,
morning. 1 did not know what the ailment
was, but it became steadily worse and 1 wa. \
in constant misery. j
*‘.l called in my fttmily physician, and he
diagnosed the case as catarrh of the stomach. |
He prescribed for me and I had his prescrip- i
tlon filled. I took nearly all of the metii- '
cine, but still the trouble became worse, '
and I felt that my condition waa hopeless. ’
My friends recommended various proprie
tary remedies, some of them among the best

in the market, but I tried several of them
without receiving benefit. After I had been
suffering several months, and had secured
liny, pf the many remedies
which I had taken, a friend of mine, by the
name of Thomas Campbel), also a resilient
of this citv, urged me to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills’ for Pale People. I told him it
would be a useless waste of money to buy
them, : I was .nvinced- ti it nothing could
do me any good.
“I was finally persuaded to buy a box
and began to use the pills according to
directions. Before I had taken the second
box 1 began to feel relieved, and after taking
a few more boxes I considered myself re
stored to health. The pills gave me new
life, strength, ambition and happiness.”
An unfailing specific is found in Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis,
St. Vitus’dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma
tism. nervous headache, the after efleet oi la
grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and
sallow complexions, that tired feeling result
ing from nervous prostration, all diseases re
sulting from vitiated humors m the blood,
such ns scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, irregularities
and all forms of weakness. In men they effect
a radical cure in all cases arising from mental
w..rrv overwork or excesses of whatever
nature. These pills are manufactured by the
Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady,
N. Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing the
firm’s trade-mark and wrapper at 50 cents a
box or six boxes for $2.50, and are never sold
in bulk. They may be had of all druggist..
LAND POOR.
A JScheme to Give Every Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor.
Mn. Editor : Some years ago I took an
idea that land was the safest investment
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more than I can profitably make use of,
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
the following measure to get rid of it:
I will say,in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best tor
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county. There are a number ol
tenant houses on the place, and a home
recently built that cost me over $3,000 to
build. The land, in the first place, cost
me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying
altogether, about $lO per acre, without
improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will
average the whole place at $lO per acre,
in the following way : I will have the
entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into
50 acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50 t > another, according to his
ability to pay for it, as the case may be,
the entire quantity to be drawn for.
In other words, the number of lots and
quantity of land to be put in a hat or box,
and drawn out under approval of a com
mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time,
so that all shall have a fair chance to get a
home at a low price, anti no one has a
chance of losing their m mey, or failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a
farm at far less than cost.
The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is
adapted to maiket gardening, and for
northern people who know how to work,
it offers a line opportunity for a colony of
energetic citizens.
It is all together, and would make a fine
settlement, having the best of pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
nine, and some cedar; in fact, it. is the best
place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed
itor of the Call will vouch for what I
say.
I would be glad to have any parties who
mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan
tages, and communicate with me at
’ Barnesville, before going into the matter,
assuring them that I mean what I say,
I have also a farm of 50 acres near
Barnesville for sale, on good terms.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
have concluded to make the terms of pay
mvnt in four annual payments without
interest, which is tantamount to putting
the price of the land very low. The
titles to the land have been in the posses
sion of one or two parties for years, and
have never been questioned and are as
as gold.
