Miss Louise Fitch of New Orleans.

Miss Mattie Breen of New Orleans in a letter to the social columns of The Age Herald writes of Miss Louise Fitch of New Orleans, who is related to the family of President Jefferson Davis. Miss Fitch so strlkingly resembles her cousin Miss Win nie Davis, that the Confederate Veterans of New Orleans feel a particular pride and an affectionate interest in the young girl. Miss Brten writes:
 Miss Louise Fitch, who is semi-debu- tante is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. Everett Fitch of New Orleans, and within the next few years will be charming addi- ,tion to local society Miss Fitch Is devoting herself at present to the earnest study of music and painting.
 The Fitch family Is mentioned with dis tfnction in English history, from which stock it springs, and among the sons of that house may be mentioned John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Dr. William H. Fitch, member of the English house of parlia- ment, and Jefferson Davis, whose daughter Miss Varena Davis, Miss Louise Fitch so strikingly resembles.
 Since the death of Winnie Davis, the low ing in terest that the veterans have had in her cousin, Miss Fitch has been great consolation in their sorrow.

ARIZONA SNAKE STORY.
Pull Snakes Can Be Used for Irrigatine
 Purposes.

From the Denver Republican.
 The mining camp of Kingman was re- gently invaded by a host of rattlesnakes, creating great consternation among the people. Snakes were discovered in beds and made desperate fights when tackled by the owners. People sleeping outdoors narrowly missed violent death from the poisonous fangs of the serpents. The snakes wiggled through the crevices of the tight board fences, and were caught while endeavoring to enter the horsss. People have taken to sleeping up stairs, and band stand and pavilion are crowded every night by sleepers, who dare not risk sleep- ing on the bare ground A spell of unusu- ally warm weather is thought to be the cause of the snakes leaving their rocky fastnesses for a cooler abode In the set clement.
 A man at Mess City has a pet Gila mon- ster. He let it go about six weeks ago in order that 1t might shed its skin ,as is its annual custom. The other day 1t returned to its usual haunts. looking thoroughly re- juvenated. Its owner gave 1t a bath, after which it made a break for the feed box, where it has been in the habit of eating eggs and other luxuries.
 Toads grow to an abnormal size in Southern Arizona, and often exhibit pre- ternatural intelilgence heceItiy tne dtC lights were started at Mesa City, and my riads of bugs are in consequence a trac.ed d at night by the glare. The toads have discovered this new source of supply, and eat the bugs that fall to the ground as rapidly as they come within reach. It is supposed that the new diet has created an unnatural thirst and in looking around for a source from which to quench 1t they dis covered the troughs that receive the drip- pings from the beer faucets ia the saloons. They now intrude in the saloons and lne up to the troughs and drink until they are thoroughly intoxicated, many falling to the floor as though dead, while others unsteadi ly hop to the sidewalk and resume their feastng.

tionize existing irrigating methods. While walking along the canal bank the other day he observed an enormous bull snake stretched at length, with its head in the water and its body pulsating like a steam pump. Observing the reptile still more closely, he was amazed to see a stream of water flowing from its tail. It was actually pumping water. The bull snake Is harm less creature, and MT. Thomas, seized with an idea, also seized the snake. How to make it throw a larger stream of water was the question, and after considerable thought he tried the experiment of cutting off a portion of the tail. By this means the snake was induced to throw full head of water at a minimum exertion and seem- ed to enjoy the job. MT. Thomas captured many other bull snakes, which, by asso- citation with the original bumper soon be- came adopts in the new system of irrigat- ing. Then their tails were removed, and for days the side of the ranch next the river was lined with snakes engaged in throwing up streams of water from an inch to an inch and half in diameter. A min- ing man came along a few days ago and was struck with the novelty of the irri- gatng method adopted. He thought that the snakes might be used in hydraulic mn-- ing, and a number of them were coupled together like garden hose. The experiment., however was not very successful, several of the snakes bursting through unevenness of pressure.

Following the directions of the parishioner, Father Long found the sickle-shaped nugget. It was ly- ing, unsullfed and untouched, six feet un- der ground, a quarter of mile from the nearest lake, on the Karnalpi road, leading out of Manowana-
 There was a wild stampede of prospect ors to the scene. Every vehicle went tear- ing at breakneck speed along the road, and before the day was out thousands of men, women. and children were digging for pre- cious metal. Up to the time the steamer sailed, however, there had been no fresh discoveries.
 Father Longs nugget is shaped like sickle. and looks as if 1t had been polished by some goldsmith The gold Is of the fin- est quality.

A Birmingham Woman
 Writes of Scenes in Boston

Mrs. E. c. Stevens, of Birmingham, who has been spending the summef in the east, writs Interestingly of the lights and scenes in Boston. She says:
 Boston seems to be forging ahead and I see constant improvement They have a metropolitan park commission that will make the city in future generations one If the most beautiful in the world. They have reserved large tracts of lands for many miles and will improve and make a drive for miles along the Charles river. The famous Subway which was completed and opened to the public a few weeks ago, you know, is a railroad under ground, runs under the famous commons and pub ic gardens for one and one-half miles. It Is so well lighted and ventilated that you can hardly realize you are underground, and Is a wonderful piece of engineering. Last week I experienced the novel pleasure of going on some of the boats that had done duty in the late war. I went over the bat tleship Massachusetts, even into the tur- rets. It was all very interesting ard the hidden" took great pride in showing one how all the guns were made ready for their deadly war. Every man had his duty and the perfect system was wonderful. I went on the Gloucester, which was in the navy yard for repairs It looked as though 1t had been in the thick of the fight, and those seamen'j eyes twinkled as they to you in graphic manner of the wonderful work of their little boat. It looked so small and inferior beside the big battleship. It has been dreadful to see the soldiers come in this part of the country in such a pitiable condition. I was at the wharf one day when 200 sick soldiers came in and T will haunted hungry look of those poor boys who had seen such suffering, needless, think.

"A Timely Warning.

A bright woman wries thus relative to changing seasons:
 q think, anyway. that it is abomin- able fashion, this one of considering that there are only two seasons to the year, when there are really four. Folks say, I'll have this in summer and this in winter,' occasionally they mention spring suit or a fall hat, but not very often.
 Lots of folks, for instance. never con- sider it necessary to have any between-sea- son clothing. You meet them on hot day in April wearing their winter frocks and coats, with heavy felt hats that must give them inflammation of the brain. Suddenly, if May is warm, they jump right into mus fins and cotton shirt waists. No wonder they catch cold I should think they'd all die straight off with pneumonia.
 "Then cold days In the fall they come around in faded ginghams and f1imsy mus lins, all bedraggled, and deplore the fact that it's too early for furs and beaver coats As for the woman with a sealskin, we all know her. She is so everlastingly proud of that garment that she wears it until May, and then carries it all summer on steamboat excursions. In the autumn 1t comes out at the first hint of frost, and she swelters in 1t a good two months before the coming of Thanksgiving.
 ''I pity most however, the poor. little children. They have to wear what their mothers order regardless of their wishes. I've known Mrs. Smiths Mary to be wear ing winter underwear in June because the family finances hadn't allowed of purchas- ing her anything more easonable-though. of course, the finances made a new bonnet for Mrs. Smith quite easily obtained And that same child will shver until October in thin gauge and summer frocks."
 "Nita," I replied judicially, you are quite right in your observations. The spending money of every woman should be divided into four rather than two parts. A spring coat and fall cape will save the winter garments; spring hat may be made to do utility duty part CT the summer, and the autumn frock will do nicely for house wear in the winter saving the heavier win ter street suit. It is a happy woman who has for present wear, for instance, some underwear of what the shopkeepers call medium weight, with hosiery that is neither lisle nor woolen, but rather heavy cotton, with comfortable gaiters to go over the low shoes on cool days.
 Tt isn't nice to scold, dear, as have told you more than several times; but admit that you are right in criticisng your friends appearance, and to desire more uni- forrnity of dress among women in the au- tumn."
