Ore Shipments from the North.

Mr.. ]. c. Conklin, OF the sampling
works, states that small lots of ore are
being shipped from the Salmon coun-
try, but nothing as compared with
former seasons. The reasons are the
lateness of the season and the fact
that reduction works are in course o.
erection there, which will probably
eventually stop shipments altogether.
Mr.. Oonklin also states that be has
received advises of the shipment of
$50 tons OF ore from the Saw Tooth
locality, in the Wood River country.

pally applied to the underleaf,
because most blight settles there, it is
not readily washed off by rain. And now
as to gnats and mosquitoes: A young
friend of the gentleman was severely
bitten by mosquitoes, and unwilling to
be seen SO disfgured, sent for quassia
chips and had boiling water poured upon
them. At night, after washing, she
dipped her hands into the quassia water
and lift it to dry on her face. This was
a perfect protection, and continued to be
so whenever applied. At the approach
of winter, when flies and gnats get into
houses and sometimes bite SO
venomously, grandchild eighteen
months old was attacked. The nurse
was given some of weak solution of
quassia to be left to dry on his face, and
he was not bitten again. 1t is innocuous
to children, and it may also be pro-
lection against bed insects. But this
has not been tried When the solution
of quassia is strong it is well known to
be an active fy-poison, and is mixed with
sugar to attract flies, but this is not
strong enough to kill at once.

Woodcock Carrying Their Young.

Having had the pleasure this summer
for the first time of verifying, with my
own eyes, what before I had accepted on
the testimony of others, I give the cir
cumstances for the benefit of your
readers. While watching some warblers
in small clump of pine trees near a
little patch of ground, sufficiently moist
to admit of "boring," I flushed four
woodcocks. Three of them, two males
and a female, may be dismissed, with
the remark that their fight showed moth
ing peculiar, they went off uncumbered
as far as could see. But as the fourth
bird rose, a female, l could plainly
detect, tightly clasped between the
thighs and close to the belly, dark
bunch of something, the effect of it's
weight being visible in the slow moving
wing and the over balanced body of the
bird, which appeared almost perpend1cu-
lor. Had been in any doubt as to what
that something was, the old birds actions
could have told the story. For, when q
few feet away, she settled to the ground,
but apparently without lighting on her
feet, and with beating wings scuttled
along the ground, using the old trick of
the disbled bird which we all know so
wei. was willing dupe and followed
her for some distance, until she had de-
coyed me far enough away from her re-
naming young, she took longer fight,
and lost sight of her. take it for
granted that she had more young near
the spot where she first got up. Perhaps
she had time to conceal all but one, as I
approached but slowly. At all events. /
did not succeed in finding them. closely
as searched. In this instance then, her
companions, one of them doubtless being
her mate, showed no special interest in
the fate Of the young, butleft Smother

the account, you know" I simply ad-
vised him to wait for few days, and
then would be happy to explain every
thing.
That evening, as usual, left the
grounds at dusk, after spending most of
the day Watching though apparently
engaged in something else whether any
one went near the spot, few hundred
yards from the grounds, where lay the
box on which especially depended as q
bait to hook the thief. By walking
slowly, managed to let the shades of
evening close around me before I was
far beyond the spot where had made up
my mind to watch and wait.
Eight! Ninel Were they never COM
ing? And was the trap laid and baited
in vain? Ten! Surely they should have
come by this time Still-Was that q
sound on the road? Yes, and coming to
the village, too. There were evidently
several of them, and I began to regret
not having brought some help. Nearer
they came, laughing and talking, as /
cautiously drew further back from the
road. And now they were opposite the
spot where the box lay hid. But-what?
They've gone by, and i'll the hearty
gufaw of the man furthest away OF the
buT66, I6COSAlACd AOObAAo, GA
honest fellow, whose acquaintance / had
made during my short stay.
After this sell, had almost given up,
and was actually making up my mind to
abandon the affair, when faint sound
from down the road made me crouch as
low as possible once more. It was no
hoax this time. A short, thin man,
whom I easily recognized as man-of-
all-work who had been helping the
gardner that day, was creeping stealthily
down the road, close to the bushes.
AS soon as he reached the spot whore the
box had been thrown, he it.a small lam
tern to aid him in the search. This time
I felt sure, and SO when the man blew
out the light, after securing the supposed
treasure, the capture was made.
"Oh? why, yes;" observed the worthy
Mr.. Muggridge, who was in the office
when I brought in the prisoner that
night, 81 thought as much; I've
had my eye on that fellow all along"
The man made confession he
was caught in the act, and could not
deny it. The jewels were all recovered,
and the reward proved very useful in
