An Extraordinary shower.


Daniel O'Connell, the Irish agitator,
once complained in the house of COM
mons of a report of speech in Lon
don newspaper which, he said, put into
his mouth opinions he had never ex-
pressed. He vowed that If the editor
did not apologize he would move that
he be brought to the bar for breach
of privilege.
Next day the reporter of the speech
waited upon O'Connell and gave most
remarkable explanation. He stated that
during his walk from the house to his
Office in Fleet street the rain streamed
into his pockets and obliterated the
notes of his speech.
II accept the explanation" said
O'Connell, good humoredly, "but let
me say that it must have been very
extraordinary shower of rain, for it
not only washed out of your notebook
the speech delivered, but washed in
another of an entirely different char
acter."

Game Duck.

Game duck of all sorts should be
roasted quickly in hot oven and are
considered best when very rare. The
blood should always follow the knife
when carving the breast of duck. 1t
is not possible to limit the roasting of
a duck to any number of minutes; it
depends entirely upon the temperature
of the oven. If game duck is being
roasted for men, it should be much
rarer than when it is to be eaten by
women,

Spray the Trees at Once.

According to the report of
County Tree Inspector S. j. Pal
mer, this is the season when trees
should be protected Winter sprays
and washes should be applied at
once, be says. He recommends
the scraping off of the rough bark
before the spray is applied. The
eggs of leaf-devouring insects are
on the trunks and branches under
small pieces of bark or rough
places. BY spraying now the
wash can be made very strong
without damage to the trees. He
says if whitewash is applied at this
season about 75 per cent of the in
furious tree pests can be destroyed

A point has finally been reached
at the Copper King mine at Daw-

of pay ore is being mined. This
ore, by concentration can be made
to pay better profits The ore
body is quite large. The concen-
traitor has just been finished, and
after the ore goes through this
process, the concentrates are then
shipped to the smelter for final
treatment. The concentrator has
capacity of fifty tons per day,
but this amount is not being
mined at this time, although there
is an abundance of ore in sight,
which could warrant its steady
operation The power for running
it is supplied by the electric power

CHRISTOPHER SHOWS.
Ente ertainme ments in Utah to Which the Entrance Fee Is Paid In Cap-
 tured Insects.

Farmer folks in Utah have adopted amodern and grown-up version of the "pin shows" of childhood to assist in ridding the crops of the locust pest which threatens them. The yield last year was almost ruined by the insects, so this season series of entertain ments has been arranged, to which an admission fee of half bushel of grasshoppers was charged, says San Francisco exchange.
 The first evenings receipts amount ed to 75 bushels. The greatest number on the programme was the last, when read: "The Funeral Pyre." It con- sists of mock ceremonies attending the burning of the grasshopper receipts. Several hundred bushels of these de- structive insects have already through this clever means gone up in smoke, to the attendant delight of both old and young who assisted at the cremation.
 The children in San Pete county, where the idea originated, go out on grasshopper hunts with as much ex- citement in view for the day as if the quarry were rabbits or coons-and the trophies of the chase. are welcomed by parents much more. At the present rate of progress it is hoped that the war of extermination may arrest the ravages of the enemy.
