REPORTS come from Arabia that the
Arabs and strangers there are dying by
scores of cholera. Cholera is essentially
filth disease, and no town or country
that disregards proper sanitation can
expect immunity from its ravages. The
cry "clean up' is never ill-timed.

Human Bones and Gold.

An old prospector went over on the Smith river late last fall, starting from Drain. While there he was hurt in the hand by an elk, and, during a short search for 8 place of refuge among some rocks on the side of canyon, he found an opening be- hind thick bunch of brush, which he entered and lit a little fire to make some tea. Imagine his surprise on looking around to find the bones of three men and an old rusty pick, the handle of which had routed away. The pick suggested they had been min ing. The old dprospectorto took some earth from the floor and found, after pan- ming out, considerable gold, but as there seemed to De none in other parts of the cave, it must have belonged to one of the men. No clothing or other thing was found. Then" said the narrator, T tried banning out tine earth in the creek near by, and got about seventy-fve cents, but as my grub was giving out and winter set in, 1 returned up the river to Scottsburg, and then to Drain, but will go back again next summer.-P Ore gonian.

PILGRIMS TO PALESTINE.
Sights and Scenes on the Banks of the
 River Jordan.

Sights and Scenes on the Banks of the
 River Jordan.
 The crossing of the Jordan by the Israelites was accomplished in the most perfect order, because they had been trained under Moses to perfect military discipline, which was cOntin- ued under Joshua. It was an occasion when almost any large body Of men would have been thrown into con- fusion unless thorough discipline can be presupposed. If this was the first great pilgrimage to the Jordan, it certainly was not the last one. Thou sands of devout pilgrims from differ ent parts of the world visit this river every year. They bathe in it; and carry water from it to their distant homes. Greater numbers come from Russia than any other one country; but every country in Europe is repre- sented, as well as North and South America and Australia. 1 have seen the road from Bethany to the banks of the Jordan literally crowded with pilgrims on their way to this sacred stream. In groups of ten, twenty or fifty, as the case might be, they were scattered throughout the entire dis tance, like the remnants of a routed army. They numbered probably two thousand or more. Once, on arriving at Jericho, saw the bushes covered with garments, like the washing of 8 mili- tary yencampment, and soon ascertained that they belonged to a crowd of pill grims that had just returned from bathing in the Jordan. The clothing in which they bathe is preserved with great ca~e, and it is these garments in which they desire and expect to Ee buried. The current of the rive. is very strong, and by ropes and other means precautions are taken against accidents while the pilgrims are bath ing. It not irfrequently happens, however, that persons lose their lives; but it is usually those who have con fdence in themselves a5 being good swimmers. Such persons pay little heed to cautions. They run risks, anl in moment are carried beyond the reach of help. These facts serve to illustrate the difficulties the Lsraeljte5 would have found in crossing the river had they not been miraculously aided. Three years ago the Governor of Pal ,stine had narrow bridge built over heJordan. It was called an American 5ridge;" and at the opening, to which was invited. the valley presented strange and lively scene-tents, horse nen. a multitude of people, and the ound of trumpets, as if some new Joshua, with another invading army. had arrived in the ''borders of Jeri- cho.

Suspicious Submission.

A small boy had been having day of unmitigated outrageness, such as all children who do not die young are likely to have at times, and when he was ready for bed his mother said to him:
 "When you say your prayers, Georgie, ask God to make you a better boy. You have been naughty to-day"
 The youngster accordingly put up his petitions in the usual form, and then, before closing with "Amen," he added:
 And please, God, make me a good boy"
 He paused 8 second and then, to the utter consternation of his mother, concluded with unbated gravity: Nevertheless, not my will, o Lord, but Thine be doneT'-Providence Journal.

Killed a Scorpion Snake.

Mr. L. J. Reese, of Carroll County, Ga., is exhibiting snake which he killed and which he says i3 the out growth of a red-headed scorpion. Mir. Reese says he has seen these scorpion snakes before they had shed their fore legs-seen them when they were snake and lizard combined The species of lizards which make these snakes are usually found about rotten logs or stumps, having red heads and green and reddish stripes len gthwise their bodies, and usually larger and more clumsy than other lizards. When they have turned into snakes they are very hard and sleek, and are cf a rcd dish brown color on the back, with black and white specks and black stripe along the center. The sides have white stripes along them. About two inches of the tail is brown and very hard and sharp, and tho belly is perfectly white. These snakes taper q -adually from the head backward. They do not grow very large. The one spoken of above was two feet and four inches long, and from the size of a mans thumb at the head to a pin at inc tail.--Atanta Constitution.

KEEPING tIIM BUSY.
How 2 Couple of Foxes Tired Ont Canine
 Perseeutor.

Persecutor.
 In tho spring of 1898 pair of red foxes took up their home on Dakota farm. They dug several holes on . knoll in wheat-fe,d, and soon after four ''kits," or young foxes, arrived Every day, while narrowing and sow ing wheat in the field, says the farmer saw the two old foxes lying on the little mound in front of their home The kits rolled about in thesun, played with the bushy tails of their parents and enjoyed themselves apparently as much as a group Of kittens.
 One morning neighbor came to work in field adjoining, bringing with him Q dog, and the dog, with all the curiosity of his kind, soon began the investigation Of both farms.
 He was still long distance from the fcx-den when 1 heard 9 sharp, warning bark and saw the kits disap- pear. As I looked, the mother fox lay on the mound, her ears erect, her nose on the ground, all attention. The father of the family, with his big tail swinging in the wind, trotted toward the dog.
 Can he intend to attack him? won dered. 1 had never heard of such a thing, and the dog. fhoughnot a la"ge one, was still larger than the fox. But Reynard knew his business better than In O1 the dog saw him, when both stopped for an instant, and then the dog gave chase. The fox, with bark of de- fiance, turned and ran in direction away from his home.
 At first the dog seemed to gain rap idly upon the fox, but watched them for nearly 9 mile before they disap- peared in the prairie grass and con- cluded that the fox was able to keep out of the others way.
 In about an hour the dog returned from fruitless chase, and for Q time he contentedly followed his master. Then he began proving around again.
 All this time the mother fox had re- mained on the mound, 0 picture of quiet vigilance, but now, as the dog ventured near, she rose and trotted toward him, and the Jog was socn chasing her over the prairie. Hard y had they disappeared when the male trotted back from some hiding-rlace and took the position vacated by his mate. The dog returned after time, unsuccessful as before.
 During the day he was again and again tempted to chase, first by the male and then by the female, and, while the one kept him busy the other watched over the young, who did not show themselves after the first sight of the dog.
 It is hard to say which we admired most-the bravery of the pair in chal- lenging the dog to race that would have proved fatal had he caught them, their ingenuity in taking turns so that each might be fresh when chased, their skill in leading hm away from their young or their ciev- erness in throwing him off their track when farenough away.-Youth s Com paniOn.
