The COPPER SHELTER.
1t Worked TO Charm, AND Smelt4d
800 Tons Of Ore IN Six lDays.

Relf }. Blcdsoe, who was foreman
OF the copper smelter near Houston,
Lost River, got back last Right, the
works having closed down for the
winter. The furnace, When it finally
got under headwav, ran very satisfac-
tor''y, 800 tons of ore being put
through in six days. The ore is self
Auxlng, and melts almost as easily as
butter, and the resulting bullion is
very nearly pure. The furnace was
closed up solely on account of lack of
ore. That is to say, not lack of ore in
the mines, because there is a noun.
tain of it; but lack of one at the fur.
mace. Everything in and about the
works was left in readiness to start 10
again, SO that they can be got into
running order at any time, on two or
three days notice.
During the winter n good force will
be kept at work in the mines, opening
them up ready for Stopping, and by the
first of May there will doubtless be
1900 or 5000 tons ready for the
smeIter. With that much Of start.
1t will be comparatively easy to keep
the furnace running uninte -ruptedly
for months.
The town of Houston is still i'm
proving quite rapidly, and the popu
Iat'on steadily increasing. But times
will be duh there this winter, as money
is quite scarce.

which, if carried out, will result in
great good to the Territory.
His ExcelItncv congratulates the
people OF Idaho through their repre-.
se"t*tivee upon their prosperity, and
expresses confidence in the wisdom of
she Legislature.
The Territorial finances arc no,
only in good condition, but the funds
are actually accommodating more rapidly
than necessary. AT the end of the
present quarter there will be $4,000

ommenis reduction of taxation and

Candle SuperstitiOns.

So far as number is concerned, the
most numerous class of superstitions IS
composed of those which cluster
round the family candles. The origin
of these probably dates far back in
antiquity, when the world was full Of
superstitious fanc:es about light in gen
eral and candle light in particular.
When we come down to the early days
of the Christian Church. however. we
find that not few Of the ordinances.
of religion were accompanied by cere--
monies borrowed from paganism, in
which lighted candles played an i'm
portant part. Candles were lighted at
birth to keep off evil spirits, at marriage.
to prevent the evil eve from affecting
the happy pair, and at death to drive
away the demons who were thought to
be always on the lockout for the soul
o. the dying man Naturally, then, as.
candles played so important part in
the ceremonies of religion, men became
accustomed to regard them with some
thing of superstitous eye and to look
to them for signs and wonders which.
were not to be elsaY here found. So 3
peculiar appearance IN the candle. for
which no reason oonld be given. was
always regarded as something indica-
tive Of some remarkable thing about to
happen. A collection of tallow round
the wick is still known as W nd ng-
sheet, and is believed to foretsll the
death of one of the family, while \
bright spark is a sign OF the future re-
ception of a letter by the person. oppo-
Ia l.. -. y
the waving of the flame w.thort any
apparent canse IS supposed To demon
strate the presence OF spirit in the
room. In addition to these fsnciful no
tons there are some others which are
founded on nasural facts too well
known to adj lit of dispute, such as the
refusal of the candle to l. sht readily.
which indicates state of atmosphere
favorable to a coming storm. Louis

Liverpool is the greatest shipping
port of the world, its annual tonnage
being 2,647,37 tons. London is the
next port, with 1880, 6SS tons. Glas-
gov ranks third, with a tonnage of
,432. 354. New York comes fourth ON
the list of shipping ports of the world,
with a tonnage of 1,153, &c.
The number of thoroughbred horses
born yearly in England continually
increases. In 1875 the aristocratic foals
amounted to 1920. next year 1928
adorned various English breeding pad
docks, and exercised their owners
hopes and fears. Last year the number
had risen to 1876, and the year before
that QSS2) there were l,796.
The business of organ-grinding has
been SO reduced to science that every
town and every block in town is '.spot-
ted'' and known to every grinder
whether it will pay or not. A block,
however, which does not pay two cents
is rarity, and as the grinder can play
on 200 blocks day his 81 day is far
more than many man gets who works
for living--N. Y. Tribune.
The knot, or nautical mile. is va
riously reckoned at from 6,076 feet to
6,120 feet. The British Admiralty
standard is the length of one minute of
longitude at the equator, or 6,0S6 feet
1.1527 statute inch, or 1855 metres;
the mean length of one minute of lati-
tude, sometimes reckoned as knot, is
6,076 feet, 1.151 statute mile, or 1852
meters. A marine leagce is three OF
these sea-miles.
The cost of maintaining the Brook
Ign Bridge is about $3.50, 900 a year, and
the interest on the bonds nearly 81 ,0OO.-
900 yearly. Reckoning last years
earnings at 1921 $40 it will be seen that
the concern is running more than $780,
600 behind annually. To pay its way
it must increase its daily earnings to
about 80, 900, and to do this the cars
must carry some $4,000 more passen-
gers every day than they now do.-N.

The emigration statistics for Ire
land have been issued. They show that
1OS,91 left Irish ports IN 1888, an in
crease of 1880 as compared with 1882;
the mum Der of males being 55,393, or
S,147 more than in the previous year;
and of females 53,523, an increase of
11,203. The emigration in 1888 has
only been exceeded twice since 1854
namely: in 1868 and 1864. AS to their
destination the report says: Of the 10S,-
724 natives of Ireland who emigrated in
1888. 9S,623 went to the colonies or to
foreign countries, and 1O,l01 to Great
Britain. The United States absorbed
1878. Emigration to Canada shows
a very large increase in 1888, as COM
pared with 1882, the number being H.
90 in 1888, and 1928 in 1882.
