Inc common working dress of tn,

Whlte or blue wadmel, and a blue CAP
the top of which hangs down on one
SIDE and terminates in tassel. On
! sundays and festival occasions their
dress is singular. Then they wear, in
addition, a bodice and two or three
olue petticoats, called "fat," and in
'front.' an apron, bordered with a ma
terlal resembling black velvet, which
is domestic manufacture. The pet
tleoats are fastened Immediately be-
meath the bodice by a girdle of this
black velvet, embroidered and studded
with such silver or gilt ornaments as
they may possess.
The bodice is also ornamented and
fastened in front with large clasps,
generally gilt, and rendered more con-
spicuous by being fixed upon broad
border of black velvet, bound with red.
over the bodice is jacket, called sire

haired, graybearded rancher from
Mendocino, as he took in the slack of

ITO tell the truth, my brooches pock-

well lined with moleskins. Within

mole hunter, and 1t pays. l have sew

used to put in lot of time digging
little trenches an turning water this
way and that, but it was disappointing
to go out the next day and find that
bad irrigated mole hole. 1 set
watch on the little pests and [ soon
learned their habits. Since then it is
no trouble at all to get them.
"In the first place found that mole
never comes straight to the top of
the ground, but always at a slant, and
you will see the ground agitated for
some time before he throws up his hill.
If you step within 20 feet of him when
he comes to the top, he will instantly
stop work and run. It's no use to try
TO catch him then.
"But a mole is the victim of habit.
If he is disturbed at his work at two
o'clock to-day he will not come back
until exactly two o'clock tomorrow.
You can set watch by him and depend
on its being right. Well, watch
around in my berry patch and take the
time whenever disturb Mr.. Mole. The
next day when it is time for him to
come back 1 take my station near his
hole. As soon as he throws up his
little mound 1 plant my foot behind
him and close up the hole. Then all
have to do is to scoop him out of the
dirt and throw him into my pocket.
