A RattIesnake's Lofty Perch.

On Saturday morning last, the law
having made it legal for squirrel shoot
ing, Messrs. Alex. and William Titman,
of Walnut Valley, started in search of
this game, and were tolerably success
ful in their efforts. After they had
come upon what is known as the Will
ever property, some three miles from
this town, along the mountain, they
were travelling along at n moderate
pace, looking to the top of the trees for
a shot at a squirrel. 1t was while thus
engaged, and when near a slender
birch tree, Alex. saw a rattlesnake at
least forty feet from the ground, dang
ling from the limb of the tree. After
watching the operations of the snake
for some time the hunters became salts
fed that the reptile was in quest of the
same game as they were, and a shot
from the gun of William brought it
wriggling to the ground, when it was
found that the snake bore nine rattles,
and was of unusual size. The tree
which the snake had assembled to such
height was in circumference about
the size of a telegraph pole, and not a
sign of a limb upon it for distance of
not less than forty feet, upon which the
snake was supported when discovered
and shot. 1t Is seldom that rattlers at
tempt climbing trees, and never before
had it come under the observation of
our informant that one had attained
such height, but as there was a hick-
Ory-nut tree standing near at hand. it is
very probable that the energetic snake.
which lost its life by its venturesome ex-
pertinent, was after a squirrel, and ex-
peeted it to jump from the hickory to
the birch tree, and become q willing
victim to the snakes appetite. Blatrs-

Is it a Myth

The Red Man has a knowledge Of
some things in Nature that the white
man viii never have. Whether this is
the product of the inherited experience
OF generations, or some instinct that
has been cultivated, it is hard TO tell,

has taken pains to investigate the mat
ter carefully, and has discovered that
none of the cities and towns built on
the sites of old Indian villages have
ever been visited by the cyclones
and hurricanes that this year, in
particular, have seemed so universally
prevalent in the Western States. As
examples he gives Chicago, Omaha,
Peoria, Chillicothe, and a long list of
others are cited, each of which was
built on the site of an Indian village
and bears an Indian name or one of In
dian derivation. The storms have swept
by, in close proximity to all of these,
but each one appears to have been shell
tered by It's natural position.
1t was noted long ago that the old
Indian trails through the forest and
across the prairies are still the lines of
the quickest and easiest travel. Ger
tainly these facts indicate the possession
of some rare instructive acquaintance
with natural phenomena on the part of
the ignorant savage that civilization
would do well to make use of as far as
possible before the conditions that are
changing the savage have taken from
him this inheritance.-Ioa0a State Regis

Two packages of mutilated money
were received at the redemption bureau
of the Treasury Department recently.
One package contained what was said
to be $3.50. 1t came from Montana
Two brothers were engaged in mining
out there. One of them saved money
unbeknOwn to the other, and deposited
it in an old stove for safe keeping
Later on his brother brought the stove
into their cabin and started a fire in it.
This was not discovered by the owner
of the money until it was almost too
late. The second package contained
pieces of several 800 bills. They were
accidentally dropped in some hay. A
calf was eating it. The calf was killed
and the money extracted. Both pack
ages will be made good, as enough re-
mains of the money to denote its denom-
ination and the name of the bank issu-

Need Of More Farm Homes.

The tendency to monopolize and ap-
propriate large tracts of land by one or
more individuals and hold them for
speculative purposes is exceedingly OBJ
iectionable to the welfare of the commu-
nifty surrounding or contiguous to them.
1t is a well-known fact that in every
sparsely-settled district there are but
few churches, schools, post-olfices,
mills, manufactures and transportation
facilities.
In nearly every community there are
some men who never seem to be happy
unless farm after farm is added to the
already great number of, but indiffer-
emily cultivated, acres of their original
possessions. The tendency in all the
Oldest settled sections of country is to
sell out to land-accumulating neighbcrs
who have been more prosperous than
themselves, and so where land is cheap
and buy larger farms. There is no
fault more common than this. Farm
ing operations, like many others, are
often attempted on too large a scale for
the means of the owner. No farmer
should occupy more land than he can
cultivate thoroughly and constantly i'm
prove its fertility. Small farms, az 4
rule, are the most thoroughly titled,
and improved husbandry is the result.
Small farms adorned with humble
homes of reading farmers are important

Some months ago the charge was
made in many English journals, and
copied in some American papers, that
the greater portion of the church prop
erty in London was occupied by public
houses where Intoxicating liquors were
sold. The select committee of the Ec-
clesiastical Commission has since been
making a careful examination of the
statements, and finds that they are
false. In some cases houses were
found on property which had once be-
longed to the church, but which had
changed hands.

Italy and Morocco,

The fact that Tangiers was in panic
the other day lest it should be bonn
barded by the Italian fleet will give
rise to the suspicion that Italy has de
signs upon Morocco. Hitherto MOroc-
co was generally conceded to be
the proper prey of Spain, just as
Tunis was until a year ago sup
posed to be the predestined booty of
Italy, France having already bagged
Algiers. In the matter of Tunis, italy
was grossly cheated by the French.
who broke into Tunis and seized all the
''swag" before Italy had her Jimmy
ready. 1t is barely possible that.
having been cheated out of Tunis, Italy
now intends to seize upon Morocco
This would account for the presence on
the coast of Morocco of a powerful
Italian fleet including the famous iron
clads DuiliO and DondolO. Apparently,
there is a quarrel between Italy and
Morocco concerning certain claims
made by Italian citizens against the
Emperor, and if these claims should
not be paid the Italians may proceed to
exact satisfaction by Selling Tangiers
The curious feature attending such
quarrel between Italy and Morocco
would be the fact that Spain, seeing
herself fOrestalled by another, would,
doubtless, instantly quarrel with Italy
Perhaps such quarrel would not be
particularly distasteful to the Italian
Government, for Spain would be no
match for Italy, and the latter could
win a fair amount of glory at cheap
rate. The Italians have not felt ex-
cessively friendly to the Spaniards since
the latter declined to be ruled by King
Amadeo, and if they could capture
Tangiers and then compel Spain to pay
the cost of the war they would combine
business and glory in a very successful
way.-N Y Times
