RET Leived, was this: The snakes were
released az the four quarters of the
Garth in order that they might find a
rain-god Whose form is that of a gigan-
tic serpent), wherever he might be, and
tell him of the honor which his children
Lad done him, and of the urgent need Of
rain among them This is symbolized in
the c.r,le and cross lines before men,
toned. The part of the heavens from
which rain came indicated the region
where the g d was at the time that lie re-
ceived the message This helps some
what to explain the reverence, we might
almost say fondne s, which the 8Ioki feels
for the snakes. The rel a3cd snakes act
not only as messengers, but a'so as am
bassadors, to the rain-god: and snake
which has been we'll treated would pre-
sent the Moki's p aver mulh more forci-
bly, than one which had been roughly
hlndltd.
Snakes of al varieties procurable were
used, including the ratt.esnake, about 20
per cent. of the latter. Many of them
were numbed from long confinement and
frequent handling, though when given
chance TO escape, as they were dropped
on the ground, they showed decided
signs Of life.

1t is not an uncommon thing for Con-
gress to sit as late as August, says Carp
in the Cleaveland Leader and Herald.
The first session of the forty-seventh
Congress did not adjourn till August s,
ard that of the forty fourth was here
until August 18th. In 1856 Congress sat
from December till August 18, while the
thirty-second and thirty third congresses
each held nine months sessions. In
1850 Congress sat as late as September
3Oth, spending the whole summer at
Washington, aDi in 1S42 the regular
second session of the twenty-seven Con-
gress did not adjourn till August 31st.
kunnlng further back the Congressional
Sessions were shorter. The longest ses-
sions of the sixteenth, seventeenth,
eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, and
twenty-frst Congresses ended before the
last of May, and those of the ninth, tenth
and thirteenth came to a close in April.
Since 1916 the regular sessions of Con-
gress have begun in December, but be-
fore this they seemed to have had no
fixed time. The first Congress met
March 4, 1880, the second on the 24th of
October, 1891, and the third on the 18th
of October, 1893. A.

The committee of the International
Typographical Union appointed to de-
wise plan whereby the muniicent gift
of Messrs. Childs and DrexeE could be
put to the best possible use will recon-
mend that the $40, 900 remain at interest
for five years. On .ne next birthday of
George W. Chi!ds it is proposed that
every union printer east of the Mississippi
river shall set up 1000 ems, the proceeds
of which shall go into this fund. Next,
when the birthday of Anthony Drexel
dawns, every union printer west of the
Mississippishall in like manner contribute
the pay of 1000 ems tn the fund. Thus
for five years it is proposed to commem-
crate in this way the birthday of these
two generous givers. At the end of the
period it is expected handsome sum,
not far short of $50, 600, will have been
raised. With this it is in contemplation
to erect in Philadelphia beautiful hall,
which shall be known as the home of the
craft-the abiding place for all time to
come of the International Typographical
Union.

Suicides by MOnarchs.

There have been comparatively few in
stances of suicide among the occupants
of the thrones of modern times. The
most recent case was that of Abdul Aziz,
Sultan of Turkey, who killed himself in
June, 1876, by opening the veins of his
arm with pair of scissors. His sub ects
had rebelled against him, and the Coun-
Gil and Ministers had determined to re-
move him and appoint his nephew Murad
as Sultan in his stead.
In 1868 Theodore, Emperor of Abyssi-
MIA, is said by some authorities to have
shot himself, while Others assert that he
was killed in battle by the British inva.
ders.
On Oct. 8, 1920, Henry Christophe,
King of Hayti, in order to prevent him
self being taken prisoner by the insur-
gents, who had gained ascendancy in the
island, shot himself through the heart.
Charles VII, King of France, probably
inherited taint of insanity from his
father, and the latter part of his life was
embittered by monomania, manifesting
itself in the apprehension that his chill
dren had conspired to poison him. Under
this apprehension he refused food for
seven days, and died of starvation near
Bourges, July %, 1861.
Concerning the death of Richard H.,
King of England, there were at the time
various conflicting reports, and there has
continued to be difference of opinion
among historians. Walsingham, Otter
bourne and Peter of Blois say that he also
starved himself to death There is a GER
tain parallel between the case of Richard
II. and that of Ludwig II. Both were
weak characters, both were deposed in
behalf of stronger asp rants to power,
both were shut up in castle for safe
keeping, and both were reported to have
committed suicide. In the case of the
English king, however, the weight of
the evidence perhaps favors the theory
that some interested persons assisted in
his taking off.
Among the ancients it appears that sui
eide was rather popular form of death.
Many of the philosophers advocated it as
an honorable and convenient method OF
ending existence, and gave a certain per-
tinence to their teaching by putting it in
practice themselves.
Among the long list of the rulers Of
antiquity who died by their own hand
are Nero, Cleopatra, Dido, Boadicea
Queen of the Iceni in Britain; Otho, oI
Rome; Ptolemy, of Cyprus; Mithridates
of Pontus; Saul, of Israel; Rameses the
Great, and Sardanapalus, of Assyria

A California Fruit Ranch.

The life on large ranch is uneventful
but pleasant, says letter from Southern
California to the New York Post. This
of ours contains nearly 500 acres, and
p: p:oduces oranges, lemons, grapes, olives,
and apricots. 1t extends up the Santa
Paula Canon nearly mile, and reaches
southwark to the edge of the country
road that runs through the valley. West
ward the property lies along the side of
gently sloping hill for distance of
nearly two miles. The original bounda-
ries of the ranch were once much more
extended than now. Then the property
embraced all the land that at present is
occupied by the village, and reached
across the river to the opposite range Of
of mountains. But there was too much
land then, and the surplus was sold at
different times, the money received
for it being used in improving the
acres that were retained. Parts of
the ranch are still uncultivated, and
are used for pasturing few sheep and
fancy cattle. The vineyard is small,
and so is the olive patch; but the
orange and lemon orchards cover 200
acres oI Srounuj anu are aI preseuI JusC
in their prime Wagon loads of the lus-
cious fruits are sent off every day to Ven
tura, where they are sold or shipped, and
the rounded trees add rich masses of
deep green color to the landscape. The
oranges hanging from the bending boughs
'gleam through the foliage like Jumps of
gold. In the morning before breakfast
we visit the grove, and reaching up,
pluck what fruit we want. TheIe is no
comparison between the taste of freshly
picked orange and that of one bought at
shop. We have been taught how to
eat the orange too. Instead of peeling
and quartering it, thus getting the pulp
with the juice, we pare it as we do an
apple and then eat around the core. In
this way the pulp is not taken into the
mouth, and we get nothing but tender
particles The best among us consume
half-a- dozen oranges at a time in this
manner, and the youngest can safely at
tack at least three. The trees are now in
bloom, but with the blossoms there is
always fruit Each tree yields from T. 00C

Chinese Paper Makers.

Eighteen hundred years ago the Chi
nese made paper from tibrous matter re-
duced to pulp. Now, each province
makes its own peculiar variety. The cele-
brated Chinese rice paper, that so resem-
bles wooden and silk fabrics, and on
which are painted quaint birds and flow
ers, is manufactured from compressed
pith, which is cut spirally by keen
knife into slices six inches wide and twice
as long. Funeral papers, or paper imi-
tationI of earthly things which they de-
sire to bestow on departed friends, are
burned over their graves. They use
paper window frames, paper sliding
doors, and paper visiting cards yard
long. It's related that when a distin-
guished representative of the British gov
ernment visited Pekin several servants
brought him huge roll, which, when
spread out on the floor, proved to be the
visiting card of the Emperor.

Growing Old.

1t is the solemn thought connected
with middle life that life's last business IS
begun in earnest; and it is then, midday
between the cradle and the grave, chat a
man begins to marvel that he let the days
of youth go by 80 half onJoyed. it ia fha
pensive autumn feeling; it is the sensa"
t on of half sadness that we experience
when the longest day of the year is past,
and every day that follows is shorter, and
the light fainter, and the feebler shadows
tell that Nature is fastening with gigan-
tic footsteps to her winter grave. so
does man look back upon his youth.
When the first gray hairs become visible,
when the unwelcome truth fasteas itself
upon the mind that man is no longer
going uphill, but down, and that the sun
is always westering, he looks back on
things behind. When we were children
we thought as children. But now there
les before us manhood, with its earnest
work, and then old age, and then the
grave, and then home. There is second
youth for man, better and holier than his
first, if he will look on, and not look
back.-F. w. Robertson.

Minnie Writing.

1t was thought wonderful achieve
ment, when Paris was besc;ged by the
Germans, to photograph one side of a
newspaper on tissue paper small enough
to be enclosed in tiny quill. A carrier
pigeon conveyed tie quill out Of the be
ieaguered city to those who read its con,
tents through a magnifying glass. But
neither photography nor tie II horoscope
was known in thu days Of Cice:o, yet
he mentions that the whole of Homcr's
Had had been written on a piece of
parchment so small as to be enclosed in
nutshell. A Frenc..man, after years OF
practising, wrote the four canonical pay
ers of the Roman Church on one of his
finger nails. He was proud of his eX-
plot but apoet is mentioned by Pliny,
who exceled him in the art of minute
penmanship. He wrote a couplet in let
tel of gold, but so minute was the writ
ing that the bit of paper on which it was
inscribed was enclosed in the husll of a
grain of wheat Paper World.

The excitement about the Canadian
fisheries gives hint as to the prospective
value of one of the undevcloped re-
sources of the Northwest. The shore
fishing of the Provinces, on the Atlantic
side, is of sufficient importan to bring
the United States and its neighb)rs to
the verge of a quarrel, but it is small
matter compared with the opportunities
open in the Northwestern waters on this
side of the continent. The mackerel
fishing, which is the present matter of
dispute, is Of less importance than the
Banks codfshing, yet the whole extent
of the Newfoundland Banks is only
about 70, 900 square miles, while in the
Pacific and Okhotsk we have 300, 900
square miles, in Behring Sea almost as
much more, and around the Choumagin
Islands $1,000; altogether nearly ten
times the area of the Atlantic Banks.
The total money value per annum Of the
fisheries on the Banks and off the cast
coast of the British North American
Provinces is in the ncighborhooi OF
S25, ,OOO,0 ,0GO, which embraces the catch
of the vessels of all nations resorting there.
When the fisheries of the North Pacific
are developed to anything like the extent
of those of the North Atlantic they will
form one of the great industries OF this
coast.-Sag Francisco Call.

IThe New York Eoening Post presents
some interesting statistics, prepared by
superintendent Martin and H. r. Van
Keuren, superintendent of tolls, showing
the volume of travel across the Brooklyn
bridge. A detailed statement of the
number of persons actually crossing the
bridge in single day has never before
been made, but plan was conceived
and carried out which enabled the gen.
tlemen named TO ascertain precisely how
many travellers passed over on foot, in
the cars or in other vehicles. The day
chosen was when seemingly the travel
was of average volume. From elaborate
computations it appears that the number
of foot passengers who crossed by the
promenade was 4, 925 from New York
and 2, 914 from Brooklyn, total 7, $50; by
the carriage-way 442 from New York
and 446 from Brooklyn, total 9S8; by
railroad 80, 146 from New York and 39, =
Owl from Brooklyn, total 7O,237. The
whole number coming from New York
was 1888, from Brooklyn Al, 451, and
the grand total for the day 78, 964. The
vehicles Of all kinds coming from both
ways numbered 1851, and the total re-
ceipts for the day were So, 129.74. These
figures indicate the capacity of the
bridge as public convenience. If the
average be sustained they show that 2S,
821, $50 persons cross the structure in 6

She walked to her desk and took it
out of the little box in which it had lain
for years. She laid it upon her palm,
and it seemed to glow and burn and re-

1t was very dear to her. She kissed it
with passionate fervor. She threw her.
self on the so'a and wept some very Bit

But as she lay weeping, Ray stepped
quietly up to her side. He took her III

RAINY.

Many amusing stories are told of the
sayings and doings of the astonished
backwoodsmen when the first lines Of
railroad began operations in America.
When the first Maine railroad was built
the conductor Mr.. Pitman, left Water
Vile on his morning train. 1t was rain
ing hard.
When he arrived at North Belgrade, a
flag-station, not seeing any flag, he ran
by the station. AS the train passed the
red flag was hurriedly run out.
Mr.. Pitman stopped his train, ana
backing up to the station, called out to
the agent;
"Why didn't you put up the flag
sooner2"
"Why," was the reply "be you a-goin'
to run trains in rainy weather"
"Of course
II didn't reckon so.n
