Board Yesterday.
The rooms of the park board in the
Windom-LOring building we'll filled
with East side property owners and
chronic kickerS, who don't ON prop
erty when the commissioners cali, gath
cred themselves together yesterday aft
ernoon for their regular meeting. The
matter which engrOSSed the attention
of the board and its visitors during the
greater part of the afternoon was j. T.
Elwelps proposition to sell to the
board, at s., 900 per lot, half block of
land in ElWell'S second addition. The
Second ward has long been complaining
OF being left outside in the matter of
parks, but many of the citizens are far
from being satisfied with the present
proposition, and protests galore have
been entered already against the ac-
ceptance. Some claim that the price is
too high, others that the location is bad,
and still others that more land should
be secured, while few urge all three
of these reasons for refusing it.
1t is understood that that there are
others who would like to make pro-
posal to the board. and, on motion of
Commissioner BOardman, seconded by
Commissioner Loring, action on this
question was postponed one week.
The committee on designation of
grounds submitted a report recon-
mending that the proposed addition to
Central Park, which has been agitating
the board for some time. be made, pro-
viding the property can be purchased
for S97, 140. The committee has made
a careful examination of the different
freeholds contained in the tract, and
! have come to the conclusion that the
above total will give each owner fair
and just price for his property. Action
was also deferred in this case.

More Etiquette Than Dinner.

The evils OF etiquette were lately illus
tratcd at the Paris exhibition where that
portion of the commission which under
took to look after newspaper men gave
banquet to visiting correspondents
from abroad. There were about thirty
guests and many nations were repre-
scented. For music the band of the
Tsiganes had been engaged. The guests
we've seated, and gave every sign of
hGngry expectancy. Suddenly the band
began to play the national air Of Bell
giuIu. At once the representatives. of
hat nation rose and remained standing
until the tune gas ended. Out Of polite
ness all the other guests followed suit.
faw minutes later the strains of
"God Save the Queer" resoundnd. These
brought the Englishmen to their feet,
and of course everybody else arose. AS
though possessed by devils, or else so
that no one would be touched by jealous
feelings, the interchangeable band went
through its repPrtory of national airs,
and as each tune came up, up wenC the
people of the corresponding nationality,
in special recognition of the courtesy,
and up went everybody else in general

HOW TT WORKED.

sGood morning, Jack why haven't
seen you for month past. What in the
world is the matter with you ? You seem
to have renewed your youth"
Well Phil, / have. Don'tyou remem-
ber the last time saw you, how mlsera-
BILE was Sick and blue, and in that
sort of mood man gets sometimes when
he feels the most noble thing In life is to
90 straight to the devil.nr
Not so bad as that, hope at all
events you didn't go that way, you are
looking far too happy and hearty"
Thank goodness. no or rather, thank
Vinegar Bitters. Do you remember that
day saw you last. when you recommend
ed that remedy to me so persistently, and
| was first vexsd and then half convinced"
I remember it perfectly. and you
needn't say another word upon the sub
ject your looks tell me that you took the
medicine"
mo doubt of it everybody remarks
upon my improved looks and temper but
I must really tell you all about it. got
the old style, as you recommended, and
didn't mind the bitter taste at all. I fin
ished the bottle in about two weeks, and
was greatly improved, so much so that
| determined to change off and try the
new style
Well, how did you like it?"
" You told me your wife preferred tn
new style, Ibelieve; well, must say Iagre
with her. like the old style very much
but the new is a finer, smoother, more ex
pensive preparation"
"I believe it is in fact, / have heard
so, and l wonder the Mcdonald Drug
Company sell it for the same price they
do the old style, because il is really a very
costly preparation"
Well, that dosn't concern us. Who
was it said that people fancied themselves
pious sometimes when they were only
bilious? No matter was only going to
say that Ibeleve people often seem wicked
when it is only their liver, or their stom-
ach, or some other cantankerous organ of
the body so out of order they couldn't be
good if they tried"
And if all the miserable dYspep sia.
and victims of biliousness, headache and
the thousand and one ills that flesh is heir
to would only take Vinegar Bitters, what
a happy world this would be y"
~ shonld recommend the new style"
81 never go back on the old style"
"Well, they can pay their money and
take their choice, for both kinds work ad-
mirably."

John Muir, the noted aeologist and
naturalist talked TO reporter Of the
.sSsn Francisco Examiner" as follows:
~The greatest place know for snakes
u In Fresno county, !" said he. "It's hot
there, and that's just what snakes like.
They are out In the foothills mainly, and
very thick. It is often said that rattle-
snake can't hurt hog; but this Is o
mistake. They kill . great many hogs.
and sheep and dogs, too, in the Fresno
hills and the mountaineers they are very
careful how they 60 about.
1T makes a good deal of difference how
thick hogs skin is. Probably little
rattlesnake, IL 1t attacked big swine,
wouldn't have much effect on it; but take
an average-sized hog and medium-sized
snake, and the former has no show at
all.
''while the rattlesnakes there are
probably not as thick as they used to be.
they are thick enough yet to make things
lively. They kill cotton-tail rabbits,
SQUIRRELS, birds, and such things by the
score, and liveJ Jon them; but the sheep
and hogs they simply kill. They don't
eat them. They are too big. Some of
the rattlesnakes are said to be six and
seven feet long, though l never saw any
! quite 80 big. An ord resident OF Fresno
tells me he saw rattlesnake strike hog
in the throat, and the latter died In fif
teen or twenty minutes. II the poison
gets into them it takes no time at all to
kill them. There are many other kinds
OF snakes there, but not so many as there
are rattlers. In the upper end OF the
Yosemite valley there used to be, and
there are yet. great many OF the latter.
They are usually found in the wild,
rocky spots. In the Yosemite, above
Mirror lake, they were once very plenti-
full.
One popularity of rattlesnake is
that il he sees you first he will put his
head down and quietly steal away. l
was once above Mirror Lake with party
of ladies' and gentlemen, and away off, $50
or 200 yards away, l saw something that
looked like a small hitching post. 1t
stuck some three feet or more up. l
said to myself, can this be hitching
post In the grass The others thought
/. it was, but doubted it. AS we ap-
preached it went down gradually, and
finally stole away in the grass. 1t was
a big rattler, and had been watch
Ing US.
"The snake line Is about $500 feet.
You don't find them in the Sierras
above that. The Nevada rattler, as a
rule is pretty good natured fellow
unless you attack him. The Nevada
snakes look wise, and are cunning, and
persons are naturally afraid of them.
They never try to get away unless they
think they are seen. They vary in color
from dark to yellow, but are mostly
rather dark, with dark notifies or
b.otches."

seems to be that of the old palace Of
