an American artist, Il went to a sort
of posada in one Of the by-streets, and

inquiring of one of the servants was
led to a little toy tin affair containing

Immediately about Dry Lake in Lassen
County. was a Sergeant there under
Gen. Wheaton during the Modoc war.
Dry Lake usually has no water in il at
all. 1t is almost an arid plain, with
some alkali scattered here and there
over it, and its area is about two and
half by four miles. On one side are
the Pit River Mountains and on an
other are big pine woods, while to the
west are the famous lava beds in
which the Indians hid during that last
great California struggle with the saw
ages.
"Well, widening road leads up
from the valley below in the curious
basin. If horse walk on this road
anywhere, even two or three miles
outside the border of the Dry Lake, he
can be heard for many and many miles
up in the interior. The ground all
about there sends forth hollow sound.
Reverberations are heard everywhere.
Whether there are any caves or lost
rivers there | cannot say, but though

frontier never found anything like it.
A football may be heard like sound

"Many night when, as a soldier on
duty, we anticipated an attack from
the Indians or the arrival of couriers
or supplies, | have put my ear to the
ground. If horse was moving about
anywhere within miles he could at
once easily be detected. This enabled
us to put ourselves in an attitude of
defense. 1t is a great gallery, whis-
pering gallery it may pc called, where
the acoustics are so perfect that any
thing said is published to the world.
All the country about there has ears.
Even the cav of a crow or the notes of

Toad and Centipede.

In the courthouse yard there are
quite number of large, sleek-looking
toads. One of these toads was seen by
the loungers about the place engaged
in an earnest attempt to swallow some
thing that taxed his energies. A closer
examination revealed the fact that the
toad had seized centipede by the rear
end and was slowly and placidly stow
ing him away within his jaws, in spite
of the victims frantic efforts to escape.

was moving rapidly away when the
toad, realizing the situation, made a
jump and again caught his victim.
This time the contipede seemed to
realize the hopelessness of his situa-
ton and frantically turned to the right
and left, each time nipping his enemy
severely upon the lips and head, but
all to no purpose. The toad would
coolly brush away these attacks, first
with one foot and then with the other,
all the time taking the centipede in
until at last nothing remained but the
toad, calmly and serenely seated upon

How People Live on Mexican Border.

There is nothing strange in the
news from Texas this morning, telling
of the dire straits to which the people
of the border have been reduced until
they are subsisting on cactus and mes
quite BEANS" said Howell Price of San
Antonio Il am well acquainted with
the country on both sides of the Rio
Grande. To even the mass of Texans
it is a terra incognita. Four years is
not an especially long time for a
drought to last. | have known lapses
of six years between good, soaking
rains Yet the country supports
rather large population somehow. But
for the cactus and the mesquite bean
the people might starye, as very little
of anything else grows. The mesquite
bean is one of the most nutritious
vegetables in the world. 1t is eaten
alike by man and beast. Horses and
cattle fatten upon it, and the native
wild hog, the juvelina, eats nothing
else. As human food it is first dried
and parched, as coffee is treated; then
it is ground into powder and made
into a queer sort of pancake and baked
over fire. | will venture the asser-
ton that there are hundreds of healthy,
vigorous people in both Texas and
Mexico, along the Rio Grande, who
have never tasted any other kind of
bread. The mesquite bean, when
ground like coffee, has very much the
appearance and odor of that article,
and it makes tea which is relished
by the natives and which is said by
those who drink it to be very invigor-
ating. When these facts are consid-
cred place very little reliance in the
sensational reports from the border
relating to the sutferings of the drought
stricken people. AS long as the mesquite
tree continues to thrive the people will
never starve, though, of course, they
would get along better with some
thing else besides mesquite beans to

OF WOMEN AND THEIR WAYS.
Some Instances Where Bookkeeping Il
Somewhat ut Fault.

The lesser financial affairs between
husband and wife present many cur
ious phases of connnbial life. The
woman who possessed the historic
quarter of dollar of whose expendi-
long since died. Wives are the most
exacting of money-lenders. The in
terest ON their loans outclasses that of
any usurer known, and the scrupulous-
ness with which they exact payment
exceeds any method known to the law.
Every woman up to date has her allow
ance of money in gross sums. These
are hers absolutely, as if she had earned
them. Out of these she can practice
enconomies, and thus lay by, or she is
in a position to loan money to her hus-
band. When this is the case she in
variably has the best of it. 1t is the
most difficult thing to remember money
spent in car fare and stamps. But the
tenacity of women's memory to re-
tain the trtling sums she loans her
husband and the experiences of her
addition seems to show that she only
lacks the opportunities of modern
finance.
When a woman overdraws-her allow
ance, or borrows from her husband
small sums, he is by no means so
clever in his bookkeeping. There is a
great deal of petty swindling of which
the law knows nothing, and in any
case is covered by the connubial of two
in one. Some women adjust their ac-
rounts and make their economies by
means of their bills. The most gener-
Gus of men, who never falters when
presented with one of his wife's bills,
probably never saw an absolutely cor
rect bill made out in her name, which
is always less or greater than the
tradeSman is aware. A bill she con-
ceives is too extravagant masquerades
at lesser sum. The over amount she
makes up on innocent smaller bills.
The rationale of this maneuvering and
juggling with accounts she alone
knows; in any case it furnishes life
with zest and a risk that occupies
her mind when there is nothing else at
hand.
There are husband and wife who
have the fashion of putting bills be-
tween books, under pincushion covers,
and places that each regard as unlikely
of suspicion. These caches are for
emergencies and exempt from the de-
mands on the general fund. When the
wife runs short of her resources she
goes out on still hunt until she sur
prises one of her husbands caches.

terprise he takes quiet rammage

The Pitchers New Ball.

1t is often amusing to watch a
pitcher manipulate Il brand new white
ball when tossed to him in the opening
inning or during the progress of the
game. They all 90 through the same
little performance previous to deliver
ing the ball, the sole purpose of which.
they will tell you,is to get a good grip.
To deliver new ball to the bat with
out this bit of preliminary acting
would be considered evidence that the
pitcher was not in good trim. Upon
receiving the ball from the umpire, the
pitcher first examines it in critical
manner. Convinced that it is a regu-
lation ball without flaw, he then rolls
it around in his hands with great
vigor. Formerly he took up handful
of dirt and rubbed it all over the ball,
in order to render it less shining
mark for the batsman, but the rules
now forbid that He is, therefore,
compelled to do the rubbing with his
hands, and this is done in an energetic
manner, as though determined to rub
the cover off. Having rubbed the ball
until all the dirt on the palms of his
hands is transferred to the cover of
the sphere, the pitcher looks around to
see if all his tielders, in and out, big
and little, are alive and in good spirits.
Satisfied on this point, he gives the ball
one parting rub. and with look which
expresses great satisfaction with its
bright exterior, he finally throws it
