Colonel Dick Wintersnith listened
with apparent good-natured disgust to
some of the snake stories which the
youngsters were trying to crowd down
his throat recently at Chamberlain's
says the Dallas Netes. As yarn after
yarn was unwound by the enterprising
narrators the Colonel seemed TO get
restless, until finally he broke out with:
That's all right, boys, but the trou-
ble with your snake stories is they are

company.

Invaluable to Health.

The word siesta is Spanish and means
the short sleep after dinner in which
most people indulge who live in hot
climates. The heat of midday is so en-
ervating that 1t is impossible then to
do effective work, so that the siesta,
while 1t gives a brief rest, does not
cause loss of working hours.
The need of a short "nap" after din
ner is not less here than in the torrid
zone. Its effect to furnish new sup
ply of nervous force. to do ON smaller
scale what the nights sleep does on a
larger one.
Both the climate of the country and
our national habits tend to keep the
BRAIN and nervous system at high ten
sion. From youth to old age we are on
the race for wealth or position, for
pleasure or fashion, for reform or re-
ligion. How different is this from the
indolent life of the tropics, and even
from life in the European countries,
where the pressure, perhaps also the re-
wards of ambitious striving, may be
less.
We need something more than the
midday nap. We need to see that,
without a radical change. there is dam
ger ahead for us. Indeed, much of it
is already on us, III the rapid multiply
ing Of apoplexy, paralysis, softening of
the brain. heart complaint, nervous
prostration and nervous ailments gen.
orally.
We need to force ourselves to take
things more quietly; to think more Of
the rest and solace and duties of home,
and less of the shop and club and the
parties of pleasure. We need to preach
up the virtues OF contcntment and self
control and preach down the vice of all
consuming greed.
But, meanwhile, the midday nap is
of vast help. 1t is wonderful how
much recuperative power there is in a
nap Of few minutes. No one who
has ever acquired the habit of brief
siesta has failed to experience 1t, and
perhaps there is no way in which a
quarter of an hour of our time every
day can be invested, with prospect of
a better dividend in health and length
of days than an after-dInner nap.

to throw rope over the animals head

with thanks. Miss Lucas then display
ed piece of courage and daring worthy
of the ancient Roman arena. Springing
from her horse, she went up to the
bound and believing beast, quickly and
deftly tied rope around his head and
neck, then told the vaquero to let him
loose. This be did reluctantly, and the
enraged steer was quickly on its feet.
but equally as quick the fearless lass
was on its back. Then commenced a
ride that is rarely witnessed. For half
an hour the wild chase and ride was
continued-over hill and dale, through
brush and canyon-when the steer, gave

led her captive to the house. 1t was

herself. famous in that section of the

A GERMAN SrATIsTICIAN says:
There are at present 306l languages
spoken by the inhabitants of our globe,
whose religious convictions are divided
between 1000 different confessions of
faith. The number Of males is nearly
equal to that of the females. The
average duration of life is 33 years.
One-fourth of the population of the
earth dies before attaining the 17th
year. OF 1000 persons only one reaches
the age of 100 years, and not more than
six that of So years. The entire popula-
ton Of the globe is upward of 1,200,-
100000, of whom 35, ,2l4,000 die every
year; 96, 4S0 every day; 1920 every hour;
67 every minute. and one and frac-
ton every second; on the other hand
the births amount to 36, $4,000 every
year; l00,s0l every day; 4200 every
hour; 10 every minute; and one and
fraction every second. Married people
live longer than the unmarried, the
temperate and industrious longer than
the gluttons and idle, and civilized ma
tions longer than the uncivilzed. Tall
persons enjoy greater longevity than
small ones. Women have more favor
able chance of life before reaching their
iftieth year than men, but a less favor
,ble one after that period. The pro-
portion of married persons to single
ones isas 75 to 1000. Persons born in
spring have a more robust constitution
than those born at other seasons. Births
and deaths occur more frequently at
uight than in the day time.

A Daring Girl Rides a steer.

Near Forest Ranch. in the mountains
above Chico, CAL, resides young lady
who for grit and pluck we'll take off
our hat to every time. The lady in
question, Miss Kate Lucas, resides on a
mountain ranch with her mother and
brothers, the latter being engaged in
furnishing the meat used by the large
lumber crews high up in the Sierras
Miss Lucas is a tall, 1.-the and well-built
girl, with red, rosy cheeks, jet black
hair, bright, flashing eyes, and is the
acknowledged belle Of the vicinity. She
is an intrepid horse-woman, and rides
fearlessly and alone over the mountain
slopes and through the ravines. She
scorns q saddle and at times rides a
fiery mustang without either bride or
blanket, simply using larlat, the end
tied around her horses head and neck.
She is a capable shot with the rifle and
has worsted many Of the crack shots
there by her unening aim. She has
been out with her brothers hunting,
and very rarely failed to bag a deer or
other wild animals which so abound in
that section. Sometimes the young miss
assists in capturing the Wild cattle when
they are required for the market and
then the lariat is twirled with a preci-
sion that often puts the vaqueros to
shame.
A few weeks ago, after daring ride
after particularly wild and fleet-foot-
ed steer, which showed fight from the
start, the young lady laughed at the
vaquero who seemed afraid of the
animal. and smilingly challenged him

a Memorable Contest.

On February 8, 1891, when the sem
ate began to count the electoral votes,
it appeared that no one had a majority
of the votes, consequently the choice
was left to the house of representatives.
That body determined to sit until an
election was had, and on the first bal
lot the states of New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North
Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee
voted for Jefferson, and Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode
Island, delaware and South Carolina
for Burr, while Maryland and Vermont
were divided. Though ample time was
allowed to Burr in which to catch the
necessary votes and the air was filed
with rumors Of bargains, he entirely
failed to do so. Jefferson, In n letter
to Monroe on February Is, expires ed
great anxiety at the delay, and pro-
posed law creating the chief justice
president. At this, however, the mid
die states threatened revolt, and the
call Of new convention to frame
another constitution. Not till after
jefferson had given pledge that he
would not remove meritorlous subor-
dinates from office merely for political
reasons, and had promised that the gov
ernment policy would not he materially
changed, did the Federalists yield their
opposition and break the deadlock.
The thirty-sixth ballot was taken on
the seventh day of the struggle, the day
after the Federal caucus. Morris, of
Vermonts was absent, and Craik and
Baer, of Maryland, cast blank ballots.
This gave two more states to Jefferson
and procured his election.

THE success of the Vesuyius and
Yorktown in achieving more than the
contract requirements as to speed and
and horsepower is made more coI-
spicuous by the failure of the British
gunboat, the Spider, to do either. She
was expected to show speed of 20
knots per hour over a measured mile,
but did not quite reach that speed in
any one of four trials, the average of
which was 1872 knots. But this is not
so important as her failure of her en-
glnes to develop the required 5000 horse
power. The highest horsepower at
tained was 2779,- and the average of
four runs, over a measured mile, 2651.
This means that she could not sustain
high speed for any great length of time;
whereas the Yorktown, by her excess
of power, would be able to make good
showing, not merely In squirt" but
on long trip. By itself the good work
done by the Messrs. Cramp is gratify-
ing to national and local pride; when
set over against the failure of the Spider
1t is made more conspicuous.

ONE of the French Torpedo boats Is
reported to have foundered off Cher
bourg in a hurricane. Such an acci-
dent may occur to the stoutest and best
built vessel, but is one against which
the French torpedo boats were supposed
to be specially provided. They are little
exposed to wind forces at any time, and
are built expressly to go entirely under
the surface of the water for long
periods without laundering. OF course
an accident might render such boat
unmanageable at critical moment; in
deed, the officers and men who volun-
teer for the service are considered very
daring.
