To Destroy Bed Bugs. We have made
use of the following simple yet efficient
means of destroying bed-bugs and similar
vermin, for several years, and found it to be
complete in its extermination.
Remove from the room everything that is
not infested ; then take a small quantity of
sulphur and set it burning in an old kettle,
keeping the room closed tight until the
smoke has all disappeared. Alter this, thor

the sulphur will all pass away. Alb. Cult.

Many will recollect an eccentric mission
ary of this church, who, a very few years
ago, appeared in the varied character of
apostle, priest, and actor. Theatrical rep
resentations are a sort of Bemi-religious oc
cupation at Utah j and hence it will not ap-
pear bo strange that Elder Adams should ap
pear on the stage, as well as in the pulpit.
A few months ago theatrical representations
were given at Utah, as a part of the fare
well exercises on the departure of mission
aries to distant stations, inconsistent as it
may appear in the eyes of other sects. Elder
Adams was a star in the theatrical firma
ment as well as the religious ; and the fol
lowing anecdote is told of his Thespian ex-
He was paying a star engagement in one
perienccs
f W.I!
of the largo towns in Massachusetts. When
his benefit niht came, he selected his great
character of Richard HI., in which to greet
his numerous friends. The house was
j crowded, and Richard was himself again.

thunders of applause.
Cries of "Adams! Adams! Speech!

Aha tragedian, meanwmle, had retired to his
dressing-room, stripped his royal robes from
off his shoulders, and was 'busily engaged
wiping the perspiration from Ins heated face,
Bat the cries still continued, and the rnana
blv ger, the veteran Dinneford, rushed into the
roomin a high state of excitement.
" For God s sake, Adams ! What are you

and nearly ten times more elastic force
stamo the house down."
Thus impelled, the elder started in his
shirt sleeves, which were rolled up, his face
still dripping with water, and appeared be
fore the curtain.
His appearance was greeted with renewed
applause. Adams stepped down to the foot
lights, and began a speech with " Men and
brethren !" The subject of his speech was
the intimate connection between the drama
and the preached gospel. At its conclusion,
he held up the right hand and said : " Let
us pray P The audience were hushed in
profound stillness at the novelty of the
scene, and the impressiveness and fervor of
the elder's prayer.
lie finished the prayer, and then with
both arms extended, he said : " The congre
gation will please rise and be dismissed."
The audience rose and received the benedic
tion, and retired as orderly as a congregation
on sacrament day. It was not until after
they had reached the open air, that tie su
preme ludicrousness of the scene just enact
ed struck the people on the head. As soon,
however, as it got through their hair, peals
and peals of laughter echoed through the
streets, as group after group sought their
own homes. The elder felt happy that night.
He had killed two birds with one stone ;
had given the people a good play, a good
scrap of doctrine, a good prayer, and had
dismissed them with a blessing.
New Way of Raising Steam. The new
machinery of the Collins steamer Arctic is
to work on a different principle from en
gines in ordinary use. Instead of conveying
the steam directly from the boiler to act up
on the piston, it is taken to a seperate cham
ber, and heated out of contact icith water,
This gives it a temperature some 400 high-
This dry or super-heated steam is combined
with a portion of ordinary steam, and the
compound drives the engine. The saving
that this improvement is intended to effect is
in fuel; for of course it requires less to heat
the vapor separately, than to heat the water
and vapor together." This principle has long
been talked of, but we believe it has never
before been practically applied on any ex
tended scale. An incidental advantage of
no small consequence to ocean steamers, is
the reduction in the amount of coal they
now have to be loaded with, to the detri
ment of their speed as well as the loss of
space.
A Short E.omance. The following ro
mantic incident is said to have occurred a
few year3 before the Russian conquest oi
Armenia. The Sirdar fell violently in love
with a beautiful Armenian maiden, and de
manded her from her parents. Their sup
plications and those of the girl herself were
unavailing; for, although she had a lover,
she was not formally betrothed ; she was
consequently carried off to the harem. Dur
ing the night, her lover entered the palace
girdens, and in a low voice commenced
singing beneath the windows of the harem,
in the hope that she would hear hirn. Soon
a window was opened, and some one leaped
out. Fearing that his singing had betrayed
him, he fled ; but as he heard nothing more,
he crept back, and found his beloved caugh:
in the branches of a tree, which had broken
her descent to the ground. He helped her
down, and they prepared for flight, but being
overheard, they were pursued and caught,
and in the morning they were brought before
the Sirdar. When the latter had heard the
circumstances of the case, he exclaimed.
" I see that in the sight of God you were
already betrothed. Lovers so true should
never be parted. Live happily together,
and God be with vou.''
Trouble. Read what the Clinton Coyr
ant man says on thi3 subject :
" Baby's got the measles, second boy is
drooping; third one down on trundle-bed,
with dreadful cough is whooping. Mercury
down to zero, wood-pile some below it ; man
tries to be a hero, but feels he cannot " go it."
Wife is busy washing a bit of dirty duds,
whilst ever and anon a tear falls silent in
the suds. Husband rocks the cradle, second
in his lap ;. soothes the third one with a kiss,
and hits the fourth a slap. So from moans,
and starting, troubled dreaming, the tune
is changed to groans, and stifled sobs and
screaming. Patience all exhausted, he roughly
speeds the rocking. Confusion worse con
founded ! A neighbor ope's the door, and
with voice and face astounded, says : ' hav
you heard the price of flour ?' ' No,' husband
loudly halloos, 'what's the latest news?'
' Flour is thirteen dollars twelve has been
refused.' A scream !' 'Tis sissy's voice ;
something comes athwart her. In she comes,
all covered o'er with blood and water. Old
Brindles's gored the heifer, broke the year
ling's thigh, knocked Sissy'down and hurt
her, and scared a passer-by. Wife sits down
despairing, weary of her life ; husband noth
ing caring for the quadrupedal strife, won
ders whether Job, the man of many sores,
when his wife bade him give up, led such a
life in-doors. .
" Meantime, the izcalthj mother sits in
her easy chair, on its rich, embroidered cov
er, 'mid comfort everywhere, and wonders
what they mean these people that are poor
prating of the troubles, which they think
they endure. ' If they only had her trials,
knew what she underwent, they'd think that
all the vials of wrath were on them spent ;
which sets thinking, reader, that if rightly
estimated, one half of all our sorrows, are
sadly overrated. And the moral of our
rhyme, though prosily it runs, is never bor
row trouble, but take it as it comes."
The vegetarians are again in our midst,
says a Philadelphia correspondent, and to
day will present U3 with a feast prepared
without the aid of the butcher. The vege
tarians profess to found their hygienic
principles upon the anatomical structure
of the human body, and upon the physio
logical properties and functions thereof;
also upon the phrenological connection ot
mind with the organs of thought and passion,
which are intimately united with the psj co
logical doctrine of man's spiritual nature.
Thus they endeavor to show that man's
highest moral and most holy attributes can
be best and most healthfully developed by
living solely on fruits, farina, and'the pro
ducts of the vegetable kingdom.
