The cOlOrs of RattIesnales.

A few days ago a Mexican was exhih-
iting on the streets of Pomona a rattle
snake that he had captured In one of the
neighboring canyons. He was leading the
snake around by cord of horsehair fas-
tened about its neck and tied to the end
of a sharp rod or walking-stick Some
MeXicans are experts al catching rat
tiers. They always take them alive if
they can and they seldom fail, for il
is a lively snake that can escape them
when they are armed for the fray
If they cannot sell their captive alive
they kill ii and sell the skin at a good
price for hatband or a belt. The snake
in question was a rare specimen 1t was
about three feet long, plump and sleek
and almost as black as coal. Nobody had
ever seen black rattler before. One man
declared that it was no rattlesnake be-
cause it was black.
One of the interested spectators. who
had been looking the snake over carefully,
but had said nothing, was Jacob Morancy.
an old mining prospector who has travei-
ed over nearly all of the mineral regions
of Southern California and Mexico. The
man who secuted the idea of a rattlesnake
being black turned to Morency and said.

NO CONSUNPTIVE WILL. DIE
so LONG AS HE CAN DIGEST AND
AssIMTLATE FOOD.

All physicians admit this. Yet here the
difficulty begins. How can we build up
the consumptive's body as fast as the dis
ease tears ii down? Let us consider.
Cough mixture must be avoided because
they frequently contain opiates which ar
rest the digestion. Their only effect on the
cough is rs Supplying the nerves. Let
them alone
All foods that are hard to digest must
be avoided, especially fats and oils. only
those foods that are easily digested and
assimilated should be eaten. Foods not
thus accepted by nature do no good; they
do harm. Not what is merely eaten but
what is digested and assimnated gives
flesh and strength.
Consumption is starvation, slow or
rapid. as may be. The FIRST symptom is
not necessarily cough, but tendency

trouble. That's only later development

Stop the wasting and you master the
disease, even though it may have made
some slight inroads already. Increase
the flesh and the danger is past
What is needed is an especially prepar-
cd food "a nutrlment in itself and a di-
gester of other foods

corrox AND SILVER.
The Price of Cotton Not Influenced
by the Price Of silver.

Editor Of the Morning News: beg
space in your valuable paper for a table
OF statistics. which 81 seems 10 me, ought
10 satisfy any one, who has been lead by
Is 20 ! free siiver.tes into the belief that
the free coinage Of silver would give US
better prices for cotton. that such belief
has no foundation IN fact. I take the last
twenty years from lsll 70 1850, under free
coinage and twenty years from 1873 to
1Ss2, under a gold standard. These stats
tics show that the average price of cotton
in New York from 1sH TO 1850 was 8. 49,
and the average price of silver bullion
lG3. The average price Of cotton IN New
York from 1913 TO 1872 was r. and the
average price Of silver bullion LOs5. This
shows that cotton was - per cent. higher
from 1873 TO 1892 than from lSil 10 1850. and
that silver bullion was nearly % per cent.
lower from 1873 to 1902 than from 1871 TO
ls6D, showing. it seems TO me, beyond all
question that neither the free coinage Of
silver nor the price of silver bullion had
anything under the sun to do with the
price Of cotton. But the table speaks for
itself.

4 Refusal 20 Loan Those of New
YORK 10 the Government.


Albany, y. y, June 25.-Some months
ago a request FOR the loan Of the revolu-
tionary muster rolls Of New York state
to the war department OF the national
government was made through Gov. Nor
ton TO the state board of regents. To-day
1t leaked out that the regents at their
meeting yesterday had refused to loan
the rolls The request was made on the
government by Lieut. Col. Ainsworth,
who has charge of collecting revolution
any data for the national government, and
was referred 30 the regents, because they
are the custOdians of the state revolu-
tionary records. The resolution providing
for the loan OF the rolls was unanimously
voted down by the regents. on the ground
that it would establish a bad precedent,
and colleges and other states would fol-
low with requests for the loan of SINH
lar valuable data. The regents allowed
TO Lieut. Col. AinswOrth access to these
muster rolls II he would send corps Of
persons TO Albany 10 copy them. Col.
AiusWOrth has written that this Is i'm
possible as he has no available appro-
priauon 20 do the work in this manner

position the national history Of revolu-

Should some over-inquisitive silverite
ask me If silver has nothing to do with
the price of cotton why did cotton decline
from 10 in 1873 10 7.64 ia. 1892? / would
answer by saying It was for the same rea-
son that cotton declined from IS SO in 1926
to 8. SO in 1916, and for the same reason
that it declined from 2901 in 1863 to 16. SO in
1871. Supply and demand have in all the
past, and win in future, control the price
of cotton. and all other produce. The cot
ton farmer is compelled to find a market
outside OF the United States for two
thirds of his cotton crop; that being so
the price IS fixed outside of the United
States. This has been so in all the past
and the IS to ] free silver craze Is moi
going to change it. There are some other
