ed, it would have been difficult to
stop it, as there was no one on the
ranch except himself aud two broth
ers, one Of whom was very sick, and
there WAS no water near at hand.
OF the animals, one horse and elk
calves persisted in the flames, Mr..
Scott succeeded in rescuing. eleven
calves and one horse; though alive,
they were fearfully burned. In 80
doing, he was kick ed in the back by
the latter, knocked down and partially
stunned; and but for his presence Of
mind would have met a horrible fate.
The neiShbors from all around
soon crowded on the scene, but we're
powerless to render aid. The horse
that escaped will probably die, of his
injuries. Mr.. Scott proposed that
the scorched calves be immediat ely
butchered and distributed among all
present, which was done. 1t is sup
posed that the lire was caused by
matches being dropped in the barn
which were ignited 10y the calves
stepping on them; or by discharging

and the waddIug, iguited by the pow.

A man walked into an Ell Paso,
Texas, saloon, got drink and threw
down an American dollar. The bar
tender gave him as his change Mex
lean silver dollar, which was worth
ninety cents. The fellow crossed the
river, (the border line between the
United States and Mexicoj entered a
dive and called for drink to assuage
bis thirst. After drinking he gave the
bartender his Mexican dollar and re-
ceivedan American silver dollar which
is worth ninety cents there. For the
past year this man has followed out
this. program OF going across the
border line and drinking alternately
ia the United States and Mexico,
sometimes fifteen or twenty times q
day, receivingip change an American
and Mexican silver dollar, and dur
ing that time he has always had his
drinks free. Now. the question is,
who pays for the drinks?-Blackfoot

There is a marked tendency to
frost, as a rule. from about the
10th to 18th of May, especially
when storms occur on or just
preceding those dates. But the
indications for this month are
that this frost period will reach
its crisis at the close Of reaction.
airy storms central about the 14th.
The new moon on that day, and
the equinox of Mercury on the
18th, will increase and prolong
storm conditions, ard add to the
probabilities of frost after the
storms in northerly regions.
From the 18th to 22d falls a
marked storm period, the crisis
of which will likely be reached
about the ed. A very warm
wave will pass over the entire
country during the period. and
dangerous storms are liable to
result. Cloud formations and
other storm indications should be
prudently watched. Easterly to
southerly winds, sultry air. with
low and falling barometer are
certain harbingers ofcoming dis.
turbances. After storms pass,
if winds continue from southerly
points, or the barometer sullenly
refuses to rise, look out for a
repetition of rain. wind and
thunder, in cycles of twelve and
twenty.four hours until winds
shift permanently to westerly,
and the barometer moves decided
ly upward. About the a6th and
9th there will be another rise in
temperature, resulting in react
ionary storms; beginning, of
course, first in the west, aud ap.
pearing later at points along their
march to the east. Fix this fact
well in your minds. You will

soon learn by the plain indica.
tions when the storms are liable
to be retarded, or to appear early
in the periods in you locality.
The last of May is the center
of a regular storm period. which
runs into the opening days OF
June. Full moon on the soth
will tend to hasten developments,
so that a very warm wave we'll
