San Bernardino Items.
from the Times Sept. 3D.

Mr.. Perrie informs us that during a
recent trip to the mountains near this
town he discovered very peculiar
specimen of the snake family. 1t was
about five feet long, deep scarlet in col
or, and rap so fast that Mr.. Perrie, al
though driving fleet horse, was un-
able to keep pace with it, and had to
give up his attempt to capture it.
Mr.. Lewis Jacobs informs US that the
Bank of San Bernardino is ready to
meet all demands against and con-
duct its business as usual, not having
been at all affected by the financial cri-
sis.
A little cowhiding affair took place
behind the Mint Saloon thic morning.
An individual who had allowed him
self to speak very indiscreetly of Ia
dy in town, was interviewed by her
husband and admonished with lash
to be more careful in his utterances
hereafter.
From DIR. Fox we learn that work
on the Slower Mountain Colony wells
has been temporarily suspended. The
Iailroad company have sent for i'm
proved boring machinery and engines
for the purpose of continuing the well
at Cotton and the Slower Mountain
Colony Association are awaiting to
see the results of their operation.
We have been shown an ola by Mr..
G. w. Tribble, of this vicinity, which
was found by him among the ancient
ruins which abound in portions Of Ar
izona. The ola shows evidence of su-
perior workmanship, the glazing is
perfect is of a green color, and the
whole is as fine specimen of work as
any to be found of modern manufac-
ture. 1t is now in the possession of
Mr.. N. Sloppy of this city.

Customers are SO plenty in Los An

Customers are so plenty in Los An
geles county and people SO prosperous
that our merchants find no difficulty
in disposing of their goods at fair pri-
ces. 1t is seldom indeed that one has
the opportunity to enjoy the bargains
of bankrupt sale. There is the more
reason therefore that Mr.. Isidore WE'LL,
who is now closing out the goods of
p. w. Roth & Co., should have call
from those who desire to purchase any,
thing in the dry-goods, clothing or va
riety line. The assortment Is splendid
and every article needed can be had at
cost price.
They say now, that noted French
modiste while in London, seeing a
washerwoman with her dress pinned
back, caught the idea of q new style,
which she introduced in Paris and
which spread rapidly in America.
However, our Los Angeles bellies need
not care, for very few people know the
origin of the new style which pleases
the fair ones and enraptures the sons
of Adam.
On Friday, the 10th, begins the an
nual session of the Los Angeles Bap-
tist Association at Pleasant Valley.

ty this Company, after considerable deve-
opment. has yielded returns beyond their ex-
pectations, and every indication thus far
points to a still more valuable result. The
various and reported assays and the result by
arastra proves that there Is ore yielding from

these mines are permanent and valuable

thorized the sale of q very limited amount Of
stock, for working capital, at $5 per share.
The development OF the property will inevi-

Who is The Best Farmer ?

The best farmer is he who raises the best
and largest crops on the smallest surface
of land at the least expense, and at the same
time annually improves his SOIL who under
stands the Business and attends to it; whose
manure heap is very large and always in
creasing; whose corn crib and smoke house
are at home; who is surrounded by all the
necessaries and comforts of life who
Studies his profession and strives to reach
perfection in it; who keeps strict account
Of his outgoes as well rs his incomes, and
who knows how he stands at the end of
each season. Sach a farmer, in nine times
out of ten, will succeed, and not only make
farming pleasant but profitable occupa-
ton. Try it and see how it is yourself

Locust Eating.

We read in the Bible, that the food of
John the Baptist was Locust and wild hon
ey.n A great deal Of pains has been taken
by commentators to prove that 1t was not
what we call lOcusts, but the fruit of the
wild carob-tree, that John ate with the
honey that he found in the wilderness
where he lived.
But do not think that any one who has
travelled in Arabia or found rest and shell
ter in an Arabs tent, and been guest ut
his hosptable board, would thus judge of
what the Bible means by "locusts.' In
Turkey, Persia, Arabia, and all that region
Of country, locusts-genuine, 6OHd-Bde To-
custs-havc been eaten from remote an
tiquity an TO this day, they form an i'm
pOrtant item of the food used by the COM
mon people The Bedouins collect them
in immense quantities. and. after partial
drying, pack them in sacks. Then at their
convenience, when the season for collecting
is over, they steam the insects in close YES
sells over "A hot fire, winnow them in broad
baskets to remove the legs and wings, and
and then pulverize between fiat stones.
When wanted for food, they are only moist
ened with little water, just as the Arabs
do in preparing their date Hour, and then
the repast is all ready.
The Turks eat locusts in the same way,
and by very many other Orientals they are
regarded as the choicest of dainties.
The Moors boil or fry them, seasoning
with salt, pepper, and Vinegar; and they
pronounce them even superior to quails
and pigeons. The Hottentots make from
the eggs delicious soup; they also roast
the locUsts over a slow fire, and eat them as
we do caramels or bon-bons. Dr. Living
stone says he used them at first from neces-
sity, when deprived ofall other food " but
strange to say, grew daily more fond of
them, and at last preferred them to shrimps
or oysters "-From Some Queer Dishes"
