The Chinese vegetable vendors
have hit upon method of boycott
ting the public that would do
credit to President Debs or any
other fy-by-night labor agitator of
the United States. Having been
refused the liberty of blockading
the sidewalks in certain sections of
the. city, they have refused to sell
the products of their gardens under
any conditions. What is to be
gained by allowing vegetables to
rot in the ground has not been as
certained, but we have no doubt
that the housewives of the city can
stand it as long as the gardener
can. Meanwhile a splendid OPP
portunity is offered for the Portu-
guese to increase their sales.

How pead snakea ..Come to Life.

In nearly every country in the world there is a superstition to the effect that & serpent's head must be mashed to jelly or else it's companion will seek out it's dead comrade and restore 1t to life by means of certain grasses, leaves or herbs. This fancy appears to come to us from remote antiquity. In the mythological story of Polyidos we find it related in 8 curious form. Glau- GUS, the son of Minos, the Cretan king, was smothered in cask of honey. With the help of Apollo, Polyidos lo- cated the body (the whereabouts of which was previously unknown), and the stern old king shut him up with the corpse, telling him that If he could discover that which was hidden hs was soethsayer enough to bring his son to life. While in the dungeon with the corpse a dragon approached the body. Polyidos killed the reptile. but within the hour was surprised to see second dragon creep forward and place blade from certain species of grass on the back of it's dead com panion. Polyidos took hint from the wise serpent, and with the same blade of grass resuscitated the honey smothered youth. The same story ap- pears in different forms in the folk lore of all nations You can find it in ''The Three Snake Leaves" in Grimm's "Tales;7 in the Breton legend of Sir Elidoc;p in the Hindoo story of Pane Phul Rance" and also in the Chiness and Japanese fairy stories St. Louis Republic.

Tee Tombs In the Alps.

A skeleton has been found in one of the Assures of the Ademello glacier, in the southern Tyrol, which is thought so be that of an American tourist of the name of Ruth, who disappeared in 1890. These Assures cleaye glaciers at all angles and it is very easy to slip into one of them. When once in it is hardly possible to get out without out side help. And the warmth of the body melts the ice around, so that the victim slowly descends by his own weight into the depths of the glacier and generally staryes to death On looking into these Assures the most beautiful play of light in blue and green and rRinbo colors is seen away down. But these are best enjoyed from the safe vantage ground of the upper outside world, rather than !n the depths and cloae at hand. In some in- atances, 1t is said, bodies have been preserved down in these Assures in the Ica for years. Hartford (Conn.) Timer
