SNAKES FOR BEDFELLoWS.

Talking Of snakes, . said to q st.

me Of an experience had LAST autumn
among the mountains Of North Caro-
DINA had tramped about all day
making sketches and collecting speci-
mems for my herbarium, and night
found me a considerable distance from
my house. The weather was frosty,
and built q big wood fire, and, rolling
myself up in my overcoat, lay down be-
fore it. Toward morning the fire died
down and grew chilly and awoke.
started to rise for the purpose of re-
plenishing the fire when found
large RATHER coiled on my bosom. The
motion awoke him and he raised his
head and put his vicious rattle in mo-
ton. His head was within ten inches
of my face, SO concluded not to get up
just then. closed my eyes and lay
still as death for what seemed an age,
then cautiously opened them. His
snakeship was asleep. With a sudden
bound I sprang to my feet, throwing
my unwelcomed visitor among the en-
bers. Great scott, what a rumpus he
did kick up! Instead of trying to get
out he showed fight and whipped the
Goals and ashes around at a lively rate
I didn't enjoy the circus much. how

jumped here and there and stared about
me, but all to no purpose, and began
to wonder if in my sleep I had mad
vertently swallowed a RATHER and he
was getting up an alarm in my inter-
nal economy. Presently I caught sight
of the critter. He was hanging one
third of his length out of my overcoat
pocket and looking for good place to
plant his poison. You have seen the
lightning-change artists at variety
shows get out of their toggery? Well,

WALLS A CENTURY OLD.
The White House Was Begun Over One
Hundred Years Ago.

The White House Was Begun Over One
Hundred Years Ago.
The corner stone of the white house
was laid on October 10, 1892, a little
less than three hundred years after the
discovery of America by Columbus.
The commissioners had on the previous
March IA advertised for plans for a
presidents house, and on July 16 they
held meeting in Georgetown and ex-
amined the plans that had been sub
mitted. AS it is part of local history
now they accepted the plan Of James
Hoban, Dublin architect, who had
made designs for the house, framed, it
is said, on the model of the mansion of
the duke of Leinster, at Dublin, the
palace of royalty in Ireland. The
stone, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
GRAFT, was in part quarried at Aqua
creek and brought to a new wharf,
built for the purpose, near the foot of
Seventeenth street, but obstinate David
Burns, rs Washington called him, re-
fused to allow the wagons to pass over
his ground in carrying the stone to the
site of the white house. He abused Mr..
Hoban roundly, and if the city hall had
been built and the present legal
fashions~th prevailed he would have
got out an injunction; BUTT is doubtful
if there was then Judge nearer than
Upper Marlboro or Annapolis, so,
despite Burns opposition, the stone was
carted through his place and the white
house rose. No memorial of the cere-
monial of laying the corner stone has
been discovered. It is certain that the
Virginia free masons, who had in 1891
laid one corner stone in the District of
Columbia, and who in 1893 assisted in
laying the corner stone of the capitol,
did not participate in laying the corner
stone of the white house. 1t was prob
ably laid by Maryland masons The
building began to rise, however, and in
eight years was ready for occupancy.
The donations of Maryland, s72,0 900, and
of Virginia, $3.50, 900, assisted to pay for
it, and in April, 1900, four months after
Washington's death, congress appropri-
ated SIS, 900 to pay for it's furniture.
Thenceforward it became the chief
mansion in the nation.

IRRIGATION DEATH ON FISH.
More Trout Killed in Colorado by This
Agency Than by All Others.

More Trout Killed In Colorado by This
Agency Than by All Others.
In the progress of settlement of the
valleys of Colorado the streams have
become more and more largely used for
irrigation. Below the mouth of the
canyons dam after dam and ditch after
ditch turn off the water. In summer
the beds of even large rivers las the
Rio Grande) are left wholly dry. all the
water being turned into these bitches.
Much of this water in consumed by the
arid land and it's negotiations; the rest
seeps back, turbid and yellow, into the
bed of the stream, to again be inter
copied as soon as enough has accumu-
lated to be worth taking. In some val
levs, as in the San Luis, in the dry sea-
son there is scarcely a drop of water in
the river bed that has not from one to
ten times flowed over some field,
while the beds of many considerable
streams (Rio la lara, Rio Alamosa,
etc. are filled with dry clay and dust.
Great numbers of trout, In many
cases thousands Of them, pass into
these ,irrigating bitches and are left to
perish in the fields. The destruction Of
trout by this agency is far greater than
that due to all others combined, and it
Is going on in almost every irrigating
