RAlNED TOADS IN UTAH.

Last night an unusual thunder
storm swepet over the nothern
part Of Webster county. A tire.
mendous rainfall was accompanied
by a great fall Of toads. This
morning people coming into Ogden
encountered an army of hoppers in
Taylor precinct. There were mil
lions of them, from an inch to an
inch and half long. They were
so deep on the highway that they
clogged the wheels of vehicles, and
and it was with difficulty that
teams could get through. Nothing
like it was ever seen or known in
this section. The theory is ad-
vanced that the storm was the end
of a distant cloudburst, but where
the cloud picked up the toads is
mystery. - Odgen Telegram to

LOCKS AT PLAQUEMlNE.

Bids for the construction of locks
at Placquemine, La, are about to
be asked by the United States gov
ernment, and the assurance is given
that the work is to be pushed to
completion as speedily as possible.
Even long before the iron horse
came to this fertile section of the
state the construction of these locks
was being advocated, along with
the cutting Of the Charenton canal,
Of which very little is ever heard
at present. The opening and lock-
ing of Plaquemine will doubtless
confer benefits on the Teche region !;
perhaps the most important of
which will be enjoyed by our lum-
Der interests. 1t would also con-
siderably shorten the water route
to New Orleans and may induce
the plying of regular line of
steamers between st. Martinville
and the metropolis as in the days
of yore providing Congress should
also make the necessary appropria-
tions for the dredging of tbs Teche
near its source. Whether or not
the works to be made at Plaque.
mine will render water route
profitable as against the railroads
at this late date remains to be seen,
it is thought will act as a
check upon excessive rates on the
part Of the latter, but we opine
that the making Of the locks now
mainly undertaken for the pur-
pose of giving the Mississippi
river an outlet in times Of food, /,
which would relieve the pressure
against the levees in Point Coupe,
Iberville, Ascension and other
river parishes, and afford this Sec
ton better water facilities at every
high water stage, though we fear
somewhat increasing our liability
to overflow. The locks to be built
at Plaquemine are estimated to cost
about two millions.-St. Mary Ban

Ought not to mean growing weak and
feeble. It does not mean weakness or
feebleness for those who eat with good
appetite and sound digestion. It Is Of
the utmost importance that old people
should retain the power to digest and
ass;milate food which is the sole source
Of physical strength. When age brings
feebleness it is generally because of the
failure to assimilate the nutrition con-
tanned in food.

prssidsnt does not finch from the task

acquired to Q marvellous degree the
mower Of concentration and the habit OF
decisivsness. He arranges his day we'll,

dos not allow himself to be cheated out
Of fair amount OF exercise, does not
rely in tho least upon stimulants or
tobacco, and, perhaps above all, never
tries to surpass himself or to expend his
reserve strength in the achievement OF
something exceptional. With matters
OF colossal importance to attend TO, he
simply does his best % he goes along,
deals with every problem that arises in a
simple, direct, and natural way, and
thus finds the day sufficient unto itself.

Indications point to IN unprecedented
rush to the marvellous agricultural
regions OF tho Northwest, and thousands
Of homeseekers from all parts Of the
East arc already on their way to take
up government lands, or purchase them
outright.
Vast bodies OF land arc open to any
taker on payment OF small fees. The
state Of Oregon has nearly 10000 acres
OF selected school lands that it offers at
$1.25 per acre, only 25 cents an acre ol
it in cash and the rest on long time.
This wonderful region has been aptly
termed "A land Of gold and golden
grain," where crops never fail and the
rewards Of intelligent industry are cor.
tain. Tho climate for mildness and
equability is unrivaled anywhere.
No other part Of the United States O,
OF the world has greater or moro valuable
opportunities to offer to intelligent and
industrious seekers for homes and com.
petence than tho Pacific Northwest
