Show LV Ths hems Ssniinsi hand. The Saxon Woden's daer di. originated our ui Thor, the oldest and brave the sons of Woden and Friga, was, after his parents, deemed the greatest god among the Saxons and Danes. He was represented bitting on a throne wit.i a crown of gold on his head, adorned with a circle in front, wherein were set twelve brightly burnished gold stars, with a regal sceptre in his right hand. Their Thors daeg and our Thursday are synonimous. Friga or Frea, probably the Danish Frou- of our 'day, was the wile of Woden, and, next to him, the most revered divinity among the heathirn Saxons, Danes and other northern nations. In the most ancient times Friga or Frea was the same with the goddess Hertha or Earth. To her the sixth day was dedicated as Frigas daeg corresponding with our Friday. The idol Seater was represented on a pedestal, whereon was placed a perch, on the sharp prickled back of which he stood Ilis head uncovered and his visage lean ; in his left hand he held up a wheel, and in his right a pail of water, wherein were fruits and flower-- . Ilis dress was a long coat girded with linen. The appellation given to the day of his celebration is still retained in the Saxon Seater's daeg and our Saturday. -- Published by HARRINGTON & JAKEMAN Manti, San Pete Co. ,U.

This idol was worshipped On the first day of the week called Suns daOg, from which originated out Sunday. So with the names adopted for the other days of ouf week. The idol of the Moon represented a woman habited in a short coat, and a hood with two long Cars. She held a moon in her hand which designated her quality. This idol was worshiped on the second day of the week, called by them Moons daeg, and fcince, by us, Monday. Tuised was first deified as the father of the Teutonic race, but later worshipped as the son of the fearth. He stood on a pedestal as a venerable sage, clothed with the skin of an animal; holding a scepter in his right hand. From him came the Saxon words Tuiscos daeg, which we call Tuesday. Woden or Oden was the supreme divinity of the northern nations. He was supposed to have emigrated from the east, but at what time, or from what tountry, is not known. His exploits from the greatest part of the mythological creed of the northern nations ; and his achievements were magmfici beyond crednl:y.

APPLES AS FOOD. Goods A good force of affable From the earliest ages apples haye been in use for th6 table as dessert. The historian Pliny tells us that the Romans cultivated twenty-tw- o varieties of the appl. In these latter days we probably possess over 2,000. As an article of food they rank with the potato, and, on account of the variety of ways in which they may he served, they are far pre ferable to the taste of many persons ; and, if families would only substitute ripe, lucious apples for pies, cakes, candies and preserved fruit, thefe would be much less sickness among the children, am the saving on this one item alone would buy many barrels of ap pies. They have an excellent effect upon the whole physical system, feeding the brain as well as adding to the flesh, and keeping the blood pure ; also preventing constipation and correcting a tendency to acidity, which produces rheumatism and neuralgia. will cool the feverish conThey dition of the system ; in fact, they are far better for these purposes than the many nostrums which are highly praised in the advertisements, and are so constantly purchased by sufferers, A ripe raw apple is digested in an hour and a half, while a boiled potato takes twice the time. While apples can be purchased at cheap rates every family should keep a dish of them in the dining room, where the children can have access to them and eat all they please. They will rarely receive any injury from them if they are thoroughly masticated. Baked apples should be as constant a tlish upon the table as potatoes. Every breakfast and tea table should have a plate employees to wait Are still at their old stand, on our patrons, Call and see for yourselves. ity, Utah, OtJB ry A Chicago woman threw a jar of mincemeat at her husband and killed him. This was certainly a more humane way of putting him todeath than baking it into pies and getting him to eat it.
