The last bar is joined to the first in making the third loop. Chain 2. Make 1 double in end of first bar. Chain 2 and finish as before-Ladies' World THE THREE KINGDOMS. The player who has proposed the game withdraws into an adjoining chamber, while the rest of the company agree upon an object that he must guess. When the word is agreed upon, they recall him; he has the right to ask twenty questions, which refer at first to the kingdom to which the object belongs that is expressed by the word selected, upon the present condition of that object, the country where it is most frequently found, and finally, upon the metamorphosis which it has undergone, its use, and its qualities. The players should answer in a manner calculated to describe the object. yet not too plainly. But, on the other hand, those who give false notions of the object are liable to the penalty of a forfeit. The questioner who, after twenty answers which are recognized as satisfactory by the company, fails to guess the object, pays a forfeit in his turn, and withdraws a second time, while the rest of the players agree upon another word, which he must try to guess in the same 5. "In what place is it most commonly produced?" "In New England, New York and New Jersey." 6. "Ah, I know that it is not linen, for neither of these States is celebrated for that article." "No; but linen has something to do with it." 7. "What metamorphosis has it undergone ?" "A very great one. It has been cast into the water, beaten, crushed, reduced to pulp, then reunited into a solid body, such as we see it every day." 8. "It is Paper, then !" "You have guessed it." The player whose answer leads the questioner to guess the riddle, then pays a forfeit, and becomes the questioner in his turn. WORK FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS.-WAYS OF The methods that I wish to suggest require no outlay, except time and patience, and the friendly co-operation of the brothers and sisters. I have known a party of bright young people to go out into the woods armed with hatchets and baskets, and return every evening loaded with pine knots, which were carefully split into a good size for kindling and sent to the nearest city, where a ready sale was found. One young girl of my acquaintance bought for herself a nice winter dress with the chestnuts she picked up and sold. As Christmas approaches, the country lads and las sies may fill their purses very easily by gathering ev ergreens for decorating churches. The mistletoe, also, commands a high price for the active boy who dares to climb the tall oaks on which it is found. A small box was sent to Philadelphia last winter from this neighborhood which sold for five dollars. It is so difficult to gather that it is not often found for sale. Lobelia, Another branch of industry that I would suggest is the gathering of our native medicines to sell to the druggists. Podophyllum (one of the most powerful remedies for a disordered liver) can be found in the swamps and along the banks of streams It is com monly known as mandrake, or May apple also a popular medicine, can be collected in quantities in our forests, and the black cohosh (so valuable in heart disease) is also frequently seen. Horehound, wild cherry bark and the sarsaparilla root also sell well. I can scarcely imagine a more pleasant pastime for boys and girls than searching in the forest for its hidden treasures. Another way in which young people may make money is the saving of garden seeds. To accomplish anything in this way a small piece of ground should be planted especially for raising seed. A neighbor of mine has recently sold seven dollars and sixty cents worth of salsify seed, which she gathered from a small part of her garden and sold to a seedsman at less than the usual rates, which are a dollar a pound. Green peas always sell well in the country stores. They are a bulky kind of seed to order through the mail, and peas are so popular with chickens that they often destroy all the dry ones before seed can be saved. Drying fruit is work that any of the girls can do, and at the usual rates it pays well to dry cherries, peaches, and even apples. Any of the occupations I have mentioned will at least give fresh air and pure blood, which will be s reward if no other is received. -F F. and Stockman.

The gospel teaches a communism which is unselfish; it says: "All mine is thine." But the world's communism is the very opposite; it says: "Stand and deliver. All thine is mine:" and the difference is infinite.-Doolittle. OUR UR readers will remember that in previous articles of this series we undertook to show that when Joseph Smith presented to this nation (and finally to many of the nations of Europe) his claims to having been sent by the Father to declare anew the gospel of the Son, that not only did the word declared correspond in every respect and particular with the word declared aforetime; but that in addition to this there was enunciated the grand central truths making provision for every emergency which has since confronted both church and state, and also declaring by divine command many of the important events shortly to take place. Learning he had not, neither did he claim that he spoke by his own wisdom, but "As he was moved upon by the Holy Ghost." Very different, however, at least in the character of their inspiration, are the enunciations of Prof. J. Rhodes Buchanan, contained in a most remarkable article in the August number of The Arena, a new magazine published in Boston, now in its second volume. The article to which we refer is entitled: "The Coming Cataclysm of America and Europe." Of the author, the editor of The Arena, says: "Especial attention is called to Prof. Buchanan's remarkable paper in this issue of THE ARENA. Of course those critics who dwell in the stagnant depths of the pool of conservatism, will be disposed to ridicule utterances and predictions so startling and unpleasant in their character as made in this paper. We remember some few years ago when Prof. Buchanan brought out his great work entitled 'The New Education,' in which he urged in the most scholarly and rational manner the necessity of ethical and industrial education, coupled with the present unsatisfactory system of intellectual drill, that a critic in a leading daily ridiculed the proposition as visionary, and thoroughly impractical; yet all the ideas advanced in that work are now being seriously agitated, and many of his suggestions are already being utilized with immense benefit in various schools. It was another striking instance of a man living in advance of the scholastic conservatism of his day, being ridiculed and sneered at by those whose vision was more limited than his. This paper, it should be remembered, was prepared for THE ARENA in May, and has been in type for three months. In reference to Prof. Buchanan's ability to intelligently predict the probability of a civil war, we can only add what we said last month: "He has been a student of social questions for much more than half a century, and that during the war of the rebellion, and the period of its close he was for three years chairman of the State Democratic Central Committee of Kentucky, and by guiding and moderating the action of the Democratic party did much to tranquilize that State, while other border States were in a turbulent condition. Senators Beck and Stevenson, and Gov. Helm were led by his policy, which was so successful that leading citizens urged his nomination as Democratic candidate for governor, which he declined as something foreign to his pursuits. His opin ions of our political future are therefore based on a careful study of American politics." The author introduces his subject by saying: "The writer is naturally an optimist, a full believer in the noblest destiny of man; but he can not maintain his optimism stubbornly against reason, against evidence, against science, and against the teachings of history. Calamity and catastrophe are as much a part of the plan of nature as successful progress, and as the portents of the coming storm gather thick and dark in the sky, it would be fatuous to refuse to see them." After referring to the various causes of discontent among all classes of the laboring population, and calling particular attention to the incendiary language of our western farmers, he assures his readers that paragraphs like the following from Brick Pomeroy's Advanced Thought are being scattered by the million all through the country, and continue to come with increasing energy: "When the gang that calls itself the government of the United States, loans $60,000,000 of money raked in from overtaxed farmers and business men to the National Bankers without usury or interest, and the bankers loan it out, through confidential agents, to struggling farmers in the west, at two per cent a month, we don't see why the government does not more completely organize to enslave labor.' "The language of Kansas farmers as expressed in the following report of a meeting in Ottawa county, Kansas, is worth quoting, because nothing of that sort reaches the readers of the metropoli tan press of the east. I copy from the Non-Conformist of Winfield, Kansas, May 1st, 1890: "Enemies, traitors, are the law-makers of the past twenty-eight years. No more petitions, no more prayers, but demands that call for action or blood. Give your people relief or answer the consequences. No more taxes or interest after December 1st. . . . "I do not mean," he continues, "that the aggressive power of the organizing masses is the sole power concerned, for on the other side is the aggressive power of plutocracy, and political corruption managed by financial schemes, which is already regarded by millions as the serpent that must be crushed. The financial managers of our politics do not realize what a vast multitude do now believe most earnestly and angrily, that the legislation of financiers and politicians has destroyed their prosperity, has robbed the people of several thousand millions, and furnished the major part of the princely fortunes that tower above the common plane of humanity and threaten the stability of the republic, for the Jeffersonian republic can not stand on a 'prince and pauper' basis, or a mighty landlordry and an humble, rack-rented tenantry. profound scorn with which this class of ideas, and the arguments and records leading to such conclusions, are regarded in the dominions of which Wall Street is the metropolis, indicate no possibility of harmonizing the contending parties, one of which is and has been in and the other angrily recognizes that it is out. Mrs. Partington's problem as to the effect when an irresistible force meets an immovable obstruction is the problem that our nation will soon be engaged in solving." The "But one thing is necessary to insure a conflict. The armies must be gathered and organized in two hostile camps, for mobs do not make war. The organizing is going on now as never before in the world's history. The labor party the anti-capital party, will soon embrace from one to two millions of men, bound together by common interest, common sympathies, and common hatred of everything hostile to their interests, with a strong conviction that they are an oppressed class and small patience with their oppressors, while the consciousness of their physical power will encourage a defiant and uncompromising attitude. such a condition the disturbances of mobs which are usually local and temporary, electrify the mass and become a national convulsion. A single individual may become the immediate cause of a civil war. In |
