AN unusual spell OF warm weather
during the carly part of March hatchel
out millions of grasshoppcrs, prcmn-
turely, in Oregon. Then came along an
unusually cold snap which killed prac
tically every one of the insects. Conse-
quently the farmers thereabonts are
doing the remarkable thing of rejoicing
over unreasonable weather.

4 LuckY TenderfOOt.

There is an aNiem among mining
prospcctors that while a knowledge
of mineralogy is a first necessity for Il
man starting out to hunt for the pre-
cious ores, yet the richest finds are
often made by the rankest tenderfoot
1t is well illustrated in recent rich
find near Salt Lake City, Utah. Will
lard Weihe, violin soloist in the Tab
ernacle, was walking in City Creek can
yon, in the outskirts of the city, when
he kicked aside some rock that struck
him as being unusual in appearance.
Out of pure curiosity he carried piece
of the rock back to town and had it as
sayed. 1t showed $500 in gold and $40
in silver to the ton. Weihe was so
much surprised he almost tainted.
Then when he recovered he hurried
back to where he found the rock, with
out mentioning the matter to anyone,
and staked out a large number of
claims for himself and friends. Now .
considerable camp has sprung up, and
the workings bear out the promise in
Weihe's chance strike.

A THRILLING incident occurred in Il
coal mine near Shamokin, Pa, a few
days ago, when a miner suddenly be-
came crazy and attacked fellow miner
Just as blast was about to be fired.
The crazy man, Frank Tompsonia,
sprang upon the other miner, Thomas
Crander, while in the breast" just
az the latter was lighting the fuse lead
ing to n charge of dynamite. After a
fierce fight Grander knocked the crazy
man senseless by striking him on the
head with n shovel, and then dragged
him from the breast just as the charge
exploded. Both men were almost bur-
led in the falling coal, but neither was
seriously hurt Tompsonia's mind had
become derangcd during attendance at
revival meetings. The night after he
attacked Grander he set fire to the
house in which he lived, and was after
ward taken to the state asylum.

WE are thankful, renectively remarks
an Atchison Globe writer, every day we
live in the country. We have long
wanted to visit New York, but we are
afraid to. A man from Iowa, a harness.
maker of good reputation, went to New
York lately, to see the sights. In buy
ing piece of plug tobacco he carelessly
showed fivedollar bill. A strange
woman who saw the money immediate
ly fell on his neck and said: "Oh, Will
liam! William! why did you desert
mel" The harness-maker from Iowa
had never seen the woman before, but
she had him arrested, saying she was
married to him in 1869. He was finally
compelled to give her the five-dollar bill
to get rid of her. 1t is strange how lit
tie these people get to see, after all, who
go TO the great cities to see the sights.
