The Weather.
Tbe weather up to Friday wat tun
shiny, with nearly normal tempera

the coaat countiet, which gradually
tpread to include the entire state. The
raina ceased in the Weatern countiet
Sunday afternoon and in the eastern
countiet Monday morning. They were
sufficiently heavy to effectually break
tbe drought in all dittricta west of the
Cascade mountaina. To the east of thit
range ol mountaina, the rainfall aver
aged leu than a quarter of an inch, and
it wat of great benefit, notwithstanding
more moisture It ttill needed in that
dittrict. Tbe weather waa unusually
windy just preceding the beginning of
tbe raint, but no terioui damage occurr
ed in consequence of high winda. Dur
ing tbe latter part of the week it wat
cooler than usual, especially during the
afternoon, when cloud inest prevented
tbe cuttomary diurnal riae in tempera
ture. No harmful fros'tt occurred.

Poll Parrot at a Cam Bird.
Whllo the parrot Is a bird of beautl
ful plumage, as a table delicacy It Is
not to be recommended, as I know
from sad experience. My first essay at
eating a parrot waa atteuded with mod
lOed success. Tbe bird must have been
comparatively young, and after several
hours' boiling liecame soft enough to
maatlcate and finally swallow, leaving
behind It an Impression that we had
lunched on the sole of a rubber boot

Can you put me In no way to be
come a successful rogue to an nmount
that may throw an air of dignity over
