far preferable to mineral sedatives and
powerful narcotics which, though they
may for a time exert soportic intlu-

and invariably injure the tone OF the

restore activity to the operations of

A WILDCAT SPECULATION.
Pine Nut Stock to be Listed on

scheme. The locations to be taken in
by the company are the Zirn, owned by
Otto Schultz and Zirn, the Mascot,
the Mountain View and others owned
by mem bers OF the stock company.
As the new district has developed
nothing of value, at least there is no
tangible proof of the fact, the above
mentioned movement would seem
rather premature.
Since the time of the purported
rlcn discovery made Dy Urn some
months ago, the district has been over
run and honeycombed by enthusiastic
prospectors for precious metals. But
they have failed to find color in any of
the claims outside OF FIRMS.
The latter nomadic individual ex.
hibits gold and silver quartz speci-
mems, which he claims were taken from
the mine he has bulkheaded and
shielded from view In fact no one
knows what is back of the mysterious
bulkhead but Zirn himself. Hundreds

covery have diligently prespected the
surrounding hills, but not one, not in.

thing of value.

A direct observation of hail in the

Prof. Tosetti who, in the afternoon of
squally day, looking eastward through
the window of house in northern
Italy, which, with TWO Others, lnciosed
the court, saw the rain which streamed
down from the roof to the right caught
by very cold wind from the north, and
driven back and up in thick drops. Sud-
denly a south wind blew, and the drops,
tossed about in all directions, were
transformed into iceballs. When the
south wind ceased this transformation
also ceased, but whenever the south
wind recurred the phenomenon was re-
produced, and this was observed three
Or four times in ten minutes.

/ SNAKE STORES UNDER OATH.
A Remarkable Record Sworn to by Gov

A Remarkable Record Sworn to by Gov
ernment Surveyors.
A snake story that has no precedent
appears in the field notes of the govern
ment survey of King county, Wash, in
the office of the county auditor. The
surveyors made the following entry
under date of September 21:
Snake valley. The land is level and
gravelly; timber straight and scatter
ing, without underground; point about
five chains north from the northwest
shore of Tradition lake. Area about
twelve acres. Note-The ground in this
vicinity is almost entirely covered with
various species of snakes. They were
knotted together in heaps upon the
fallen timber and hung dangling from
the lower limbs of small trees. Many
were observed devouring or disgorging
other snakes of lesser size"
The last entry in these records was
made in 1882 and the territorial sur
veyor general of that time, William
McMicken, has an affidavit on the fly
leaf that the transcript of the field
notes is correctly copied from the origi-
nal notes on file in my office" So the
responsibility for the story rests with
the surveyors
No such abundance of snakes has been
noted in the township, and a copying
clerk has shown his reluctance to give
the story credence by writing in pencil
on the margin of the entry: 'sThe sur

Silver in Europe.

News from Europe begins to indicate
that there is strong tide setting in IA
vor of bimetalism in both Engand anC
Germany. With a change in sentiment
it now looks as if Mr.. Seligman's mis-
sion to European governments to pro-
mote an international agreement or con-
ference favorable to bimetalism is ik e.
ly to prove a success.
In Great Britain the great textile in
dnsrry is taking up he silver question,
and in every desirable way possible is
appealing to the government. to en-
hance the price OF silver by adopting
bimetalism. The leading agricultural
interests in that country in the fore
part of this year made similar appeal
to the government.
Russia, if we can credit telegraphic
advices, is considering plans to intro
duce silver more generally, and in car
rying out that project may convert q
large part Of its gold holdings into sill
yer. BY doing this, that country will
be very large gamer financially. The
French, it is we'll known, are floating
Rnssia's latest loan project, and as
France is bimetalic it is only reasona-
ole that Russia will be induced to take
a more favorable stand toward silver
than she has heretofore had. Mining

AN ANIMATED ORNAMENT.
A Canary Bird Worn as an Adjunct to
Dress.


! Dress.
To the attentive observer the inside of
Washington street car nearly always
presents something entertaining, says a
Washington letter. The other day a
woman fluttered into an avenue car
and took seat. She had rings on her
fingers and in her ears and may have
had bells on her toes for all the writer
knows. She had flowers in her hair
and in the point of her V-shaped cor
sage was beautiful bouquet. com
posed of fresh rosebuds and fern leaves
and other delicate greenery. And there,
just above the bouquet, with it's little
claws firmly planted on her white
throat, was a good-sized live canary
bird, the yellow OF its fcathered coat
deepened by the contrast between it
and the green leaves, Dibbling away at
these with what seemed to be a very
healthy appetite The woman and the
bird Immediately became objects of in
terest to the other passengers, who
were certainly excusable for staring,
and one interested observer detected a
fine thread tied around a leg of the
bird and Secnred to the woman's dress
waist with fancy pin. She rode the
length of the avenue and got out, the
bird never making an attempt to fly
away from its abiding place and the
passengers smiled in concert as the
queer combination passed out of sight.

We would suggest that the towns OF
Caldwell, Payette, Nampa, Emett, Mid
dleton and Star combine and build a
walk in Boise City from the hotel to the
court house. We who are not used to
walkilg on stills to keep out of the mud
have to go up there occasionally, and
We are not educated up to that high
standard necessary to get comfort or en-
joyment out of Boise City side walk.
Of course the good people who live in
that unfortunate city would not be COM
PEELED to use the walk, and thus their
rights and pleasures would not be inter-
fered with. If thu Boise City council
will give the right-of-way, the Tribune
will give bonds to put down good
four-foot side walk to the court house.
We can safely say that when the peo-
pie OF Canyon county want to come to
the county seat to pay taxes, they won't
have to wade through mud to do it
