BITTEN BY A SNAKE.
Fl. BOurgnon Interviewed a Curio
 RatfIer.

Michael Bourgnon, a clerk at Good mans drug store, bit himself with a rattlesnake last night. This expres- san is used advisedly, as is herein after shown. Mr BOurgnOn is d Frenchman with a liking amounting almost to an affection for snakes. He visited the Curio and opening a box containing the largest and fercest rat tier, picked the reptile up before any enc could interfere. The snake was so surprised and shocked by Mir BourgnOn's extraordinary familiarity that he was unable to make Q demoE- stration. MT. Bourgnon's left hand lightly grasped the snake about six inches from the head, his other hand held it near the tail. The reptile lay quiet and Mir. Bourgnon said: Now 1 will strok ze belly of ze snake" He released the rattler's tail and "ze stroking. Of ze belly" made trouble The snake lashed furiously and tried to coil himself to strike. But he could net, fer Mir. Bourgncn's body was in the way. That gentleman kept on stroking his pet regardless Of it's an ger. At last the stroking hand came within range Of the reptiles hsad and the fangs were sunk into it twice.
 This would have made some men serious. but MT. Bourgnon's calmness was uninterrupted. Disregarding the efforts of the snake to strike he slipped his left hand toward its head and pinch ing it's jaws together dropped it into it's box. The frightened Cnlookers implOred him to hurry to doctor. "Ah, eet will not hurt" replied Mir. Bourg- non smilingly But it did hurt. Mr. Bcurgron soon looked sick. Then he turned deadly pale. He finally went back to the drug store and they worked with him for two or three hours. His hand was swollen to twice it's natural size and his friends were constantly fearful of a manifesto ten of heart trouble.
 At midnight MT. Bourgnou's arm was swollen to the shoulder and had turned black. His friends, while hope ful of his recovery, were at the same tims apprehensive Of the result.
 It may be said in explanation of what might appear to be an exhibition Of great recklessness, that MT. Bourg ron, who is Q gentleman of the high est education, is an ardent naturalist. He is constantly engaged in the study of reptiles and ether objects of nature in which the ordinary man possesses only a curious CT passing interest. He has frequently handled deadly poison GUS snakes without any harmful result Yesterday at rOol he was playing with the rattler which bit him. In. the course Of the afternoon it was teased and irritated, rendering it unusually intractable
 MT. Bourgnon is 2 correspondent for several French journals Of science and during his brief residence in Phoenix has contributed many articles regard ing Phoenix and vicinity

DEATH OF H. H. wOLfLEY
He Was Loved for His Good Nature
 and Loyalty to His Friends.

H. H. Wolfley died at the hospital of the Sisters of Mercy at o'clock yes- terday morning after long and intense suffering from cancer He was in formed long ago that the end Of all the pain he must endure would be death, and two weeks ago he was told that the end was not far away. In spite of the gloomy prospect before him he preserved the same quist cheerfulness which had attended him when he was in full health.
 For two or Ithree days before dsath he seemed dazed and partially insen- sible, so that he was mercifully spared much suffering.
 The body was removed to Bradley's undertaking rooms and arrangements were made for the funeral, which will take place on Sunday afternoon at Elks' hall It will be conducted under the direction of the Knights of Pyth- jas, of which the deceased had lorg been a member. Th5 B. P. O. E. and the fire department, of which he was also a member, will participate in the ceremonies.
 Everybody was sorry to hear of Pete" Wolfey's aff1iction, for he was one of the kindest and most loyal O. men. He would step at nothing tha: was not dishonorable to serve a per sonal CT political friend or Q brother in one of the various organizations to which he belonged.
 H. H. Wolfey WAS 3S years of age. He was bern in Circleville, O., but af- terward removed to Kansas. He has relatives living in both states, and papers in either to whom this notice of his death may come are requested to make announcement of it. His only relative in Arizona is ex-Governor Lewis Wolfiey. He came to the ter ritory in 1882 and settled at Tomb stone He resided in various places and first came to Phoenix during the term Of office of Governor Woldey He af.srward resided at Globe, but returned to Phoenix and has lived here ever since. He was employed for some time on The Republican and after ward became city zanjero, which Of flee he faithfully filled until he was iincapacita,ed by illness.

tries to be refined. The cattle and the sheep raising industries are the main features up country. The sheep are chiefly kept for wool, and therefore Merinoes are very popular of late years; however, they have been cross cd considerably with such breeds as the Sor5hdown, Shropshire, Leicester, and Lincoln in order to produce good mutton, the Merino mutton being good, but too small; also not so taking to the eye.
 Tn cattle the chief breed is Here ford, but Polled Angus and Galloway are largely coming into favcr. Queens land is the great cattls country of Aus '-ralia. Fer dairy purposes the Ayr shire is the fayorite breed. The high est priced and best Merino stud sheep are bred in Tasmania, where the eli mate is most suitable. MT. James Gib- son of Bellevue, near Perth, stands out head and shoulders as the best Me rino breeder, a ram of his, President, having realized the enormous price Of 1,600 guireas.
 Australian horses have the repu- tation fer great staying qualities, which, undoubtedly, they possess, but the draft horses, as rule, fall far short of those Of America"

Fer miles there is nothing to be seen but tall gaunt gum trees and smaller scrub dot ted here and there with sheep and cat tie, CT, perhaps, stockman or boun- dary rider making for his lonely hut There is little in Australia to remind ODs of the northern hemisphere, no song birds to waken the stiffness Of the night, only the hootins of the night owl, or the weird scream of the black jay.

ABOUT AUSTRALIA.
A Resident of Sydney Talks of inc
 Soufhern Continent.

"The main features of the Austral- ian continent, said Mir Thomas Will son of Sydney to a Washington Pest reporter, "may be summed up thus: In Australia, or in fact, the Antipodes, may be found almost every climate in the world, stretching, as 1t does, from the Gulf of Carpentaria in the north to Southern Tasmania and New Zea- land in the south and vest One of the most noticeable features in Australia is the scenery, which is unique. Mo- where, perhaps, in the universe can be found scenery which is so varied and yet at the same time so oppressive"
 High, rugged mountain chains, clad with stunted scrub and strewn with bculders of volcanic origin, there is at all times vast grandeur about these, and in the far distance they stand out on the horizon gaunt and rugged. Then
