Forgot to Look Into the Bed.

The adage above quoted is somewhat
antique, but is still full of meaning and
wholesome advice. A few weeks ago Miss
Chapman, who was visiting Mr.. Rrobert
Atkinson's near Oronoko, had little scare
that happily did not prove serious. She
was retiring for the night and, after blow
ing out her light, she got into bed. Her
hand came in contact with something that
moved. Miss Chapman sprang out of bed
and screamed loud enough to wake up the
whole township. The family of Mr.. Atzin-
son responded to the energetic call for aid,
lamp was procured, the bed examined, and
snake four and one-half feet long was
found coiled up in the heets.-RocheSter

will a Cat Suck Breath ?

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune" stoutly combats the old-time
notion of the cats propensity to suck hui
man breath.
How does she suck the breath ?' he
asks. "What does she do with it, and
what is her object ?" He thus explain the
probable origin of the superstition "The
cat is generally an affectionate creature
which loves human society. More still,
even, it loves warmth and comfort. 1t
finds the warmest corner by the fire, the
softest pillow of the bed, the easiest seat of
cushioned chairs. With these instincts, it
would be possible for the cat to find its
way to the cradle, and curl itself to sleep
with the baby, very likely with its head
near the baby's face. If a heavy cat, in
settling itself for comfort, should select a
position on the child's breast, its weight
might suppress the child's breath. Then
the cry would arise, The cat has sucked
the child's breath r"
Reference is made to recently reported
case of young lady who woke in a
''strangling condition" and had just ''suf-
fcent consciousness to throw from her
breast a cat whose mouth was thrust far

Painful Injury to a Young Lady.

A young man, clerk in grocery store
in Atlanta, Ca, the other day was very
much shocked by receiving visit from
his lady love at his place of business The
twain soon were engaged in earnest con-
versation, and she thoughtless placed her
finger beneath the instrument used for cut
ting tobacco, and known as the guillotine.
About this time he desired to give empha-
sis to remark he was making, and struck
the tobacco cutter terrific blow, which
had the effect of severing the young lady's
finger at the first joint. She did not yell
nor faint, but quietly remarked to the
young man that he had cut off her ''sew-
ing finger" thereby delicately limiting that
he had deprived her of their chief means
of gaining substance.

Sonora like the rest of the world, seems
to be undergoing a crisis on the labor
question. In years gone by she paid her
Deones from seven to ten dollars month.
Then they were content with cotton
drawers, shirts and sandals and it cost less
to dress them. Now. though they expos
tulate against the advances Of civilization
and call upon the Almighty to look out
or the Yankees will get ahead Of him. yet
they unconsciously feel American infu-
ence and want shoes, pants and flannel
shirts. In order to obtain them they
must 60 largely in debt to their employ
ers. The latter indulge them with the
idea that they thus own them, as it were
and can command their labor. The peo-
mes become hopeless and discouraged and
run away the first chance they get, to be-
gin the same miserable life some where
else. House servants prefer to do moth

ars month, so that even in families
there is trouble.
1t is difficult to see how Sonora will be
able to extricate herself from these EN-.
barrassments. Contact with American
civilization is daily increasing the wants
of the people of all classes. They will
desire greater comfort when they learn
to understand what comfort is. The graf.
ification of these desires means outlay and
there is nothing to warrant the latter. On
the contrary, unless Northern Sonora
learns to compete with American agricul-
ture, she has lost her mainstay-her mar.
ket in Arizona. Whittier will she turn

Advance In Quicksilver.

The price of quicksilver in this market
was recently depressed to 81 and 341<
cents, and many sales were alleged to
have been made at both figures. These
prices existed October 9th, and at that
date the quotation in London was e6 per
bottle, on the 14th the price went up to
f7 in London and 40 cents here. Since
then private cables announced the price
at 60. The cause of the advance is not
given. 1t is known that there have been
terrible floods in Spain, and there are ru-
mors that the Almaden quicksilver mine
in that country has been flooded. This
would be sufficient cause for the ad-
vance. Here stocks have become won
fully scarce, and the price has been put
up to S. cents, with reported sales at that
Hgure.-A. q S. press.
