NEW USE FOR eRAssHoPPERs,
Novel Method In Utah to Ward OFF
the Threatened Pest.

The residents of Ephraim, Utah,
the agricultural center Of San Pete
county, where the crops last year
we're completely ruined by grasshop'
pers, have adopted a novel method
of exterminating the pest, which is
again threatening the crops. A series
of entertainments has been arranged
the admission to which is one-half
bushel Of grasshoppers.
The first entertainments dance
was held the other night, and seventy.
FIVE half bushels of grasshoppers were
presented to the ticket man at the
door After the dance the choppers"
furnished fuel for bonfire to prop.
erly top off the occasion.
Everything possible is being done
to catch the young insects before they
begin to A., and the citizens around
Ephraim have banded together in one
army to fight them. A standing
bounty of 81 a bushel has been Of.
fered by the city officials for the
young "hoppers."

Spain Has Cash and Ylgor.

Spain recently asked for loan Of
some $65, 100000 at four per cent, and
four times the amount has been sub
scrlbed in the country 1t will be re.
called that the Spanish people sur.
prised the world with taking up the
war loans, showing that while Spain is
poor, she still has money put away
and that it is Mt the disposition of the
Government In some sections of the
country the peasant laborers are
crushed down by the agents of the rich
land owners, and in other places strikes
among operatives in the factories are
common. Therefore it is all the more
admirable that the people, as a whole
should be in possession Of so much
good cash. Spain will always be the
land of the unexpected; the Spanish
nation has been demonstrated to be
unconquerable by an invader; it has an
ideal Of life very different from that
of other European peoples, and probably
has more true happiness every day in
the year Spain is a country being
kept for great role in the future. The
people are yirile and unspoiled; they
mold a strategical situation on the map
of Europe, and we may consider them
to be waiting the call of a high des
tiny.-MexicGn Herald.

Pair Of Jacks Won $4,000.

A poker game was played in the
Butte Hotel at Butte, Mont, within
the past week in which four promin-
ent business men were engaged. The
ante was $25 and a jackpot was
opened with four in. Brown opened
for 500 with pair of Jacks.
Two players dropped out, but Jones
remained and played back for $780,
Brown raised it to $500 before the
draw and then called for three cards.
Jones drew one. Brown passed, and
Jones, who had about $4,000 in front
of him, tapped his opponent for all he
had, amounting to 1924. Brown was
satisfied that Jones was blufing and
called him, and pulled down $3.94s on
bis pair Of Jacks. Jones had drawn
10 a bobtail flush and missed It.

Animals That Attend Church.

There is a dove in Lewiston, Me-,
which has been a regular attendant at
church for eight or ten years, being
attracted by the music, of which it is
very fond. After church the dove is
taken to the Sunday school class by a
boy, and seems to enjoy the proceed.
ings Unlike many church -goers, the
weather makes no difference to the
dove, but every Sunday, summer OF
winter. it is at its post on the organ,
There is a church bell on Salt Lake
City's east side that seems to have o
peculiar attraction for the dogs in the
vicinity. Each Sabbath morning, az
soon as the bell begins its noise, many
of the CANNES in the neighborhood
prick up their ears and start in single
tile for the church. Arriving there.
they array themselves in front and

tful vocal effort is persevered in sc
long as the bell keeps going. and when
1t stops the dogs feel that their duty
has been done, and, dropping Their
EARS and vOices, start home again.

Shlftless Brazllinns,

United States Consul FurIiss of
9ergipe, Brazil, says of the shiftless
native Brazilian: He need not own
land, as he can put up his mud hut
anywhere; he has an abundance Of
fruit, such as the banana, jaca, caju;
the tidal rivers are full of fish, shrimp,
crabs and oysters, and the woods
abound with game. He can raise his
small patch of masioc, and as it is
never cold enough for fire he works
only when there is need of money to
purchase articles which he does not
produce. have been shown fields full
of cotton and other products which
were going to waste because of the
proprietors' inability to induce the
laborers to harvest them. One would
think that laborers living on a farm
would be compelled to work for the
proprietor, but that does not seem
to be the case here, as in spite Of the
fact that in most cases they pay no
rent they will either refuse to work
at all or will work only a few days at
q time; yet they are allowed to re-
main upon the land pre- empted."
