RATTLERs AND THE WEATHER.
A California Theory That They Won't
Bite When There liz to BE
Dry Spell.

Seldom has it happened that rat
tlesnake bite has been sufficient to de-
stroy the reputation of weather
prophet. Rattlesnake Jack Mugan is
known from one end of the Moiave
desert to the other. An eccentric sort
of man, he likes to frequent the haunts
OF snakes, and often pitches camp for
the night in places which gila monsters
and rattlers'have long preempted. Just
before the recent election he rounded
himself up in MERGED and began talking
of his adventures. 1t takes two drinks
to get Mogan's eloquence started; the
number of drinks that will bring him to
full stop has never been ascertained.
although the health and fortunes of
the entire San Joaquin valley would
willingly be gambled away to find out,

There is going to be dry winter"
he began. There won't be enough rain
this season to give the wheat any sort
of start; twill be worse nor it was
last year, which was a proper corker.
How do / know? Why, found that out
by the rattlesnakes. They know. YOU
bet. When there is dry winter com
ing the rattlesnakes, leastwise in Cali
forny. cannot be coaxed to bite. I've
watched 'em twenty-five years ow. and
know what am talking about. The
snakes will not bite, and that means
that we will have winter as dry as. q

a vicious twist. What are they, did We
say? Why, those undecided folks that
stand waiting for the car to pass until
its just beginning to move, and then
give a plunge and barely clear the
safety net. See that woman? She's
the worst kind of crossing iasher.
I know her because, she's given me
palpitation of the heart more times
than I've fingers and toes. When I
stopped minute ago she came walk
ing up to the corner and stood there,
looking kind of resigned, as if she was
really waiting for me to go by. There
was time enough for whole regiment
to crawl across on their hands and
knees, but she never budged an inch
until had turned on the current and
uhe wheels were just beginning to
move, and then she made dive that

iolted that way, and, besides, didn't
want his blood on my wheels. so lay
for him. Next time he came to the
crossing watched him out OF the cor
ner of my eye and started up real slow
with my hand on the lever.
''He gathered himself together, glared
around, like they all do, and made his
rush, but the minute he did it l re-
versed the motor, rang the gong about
100 times and yelled at the top of my
voice. You ought to have seen that
cashier! He was so scared and bewil-
Gered that he turned around like a
top and scooted first one way ard then
snother, right in front of the fender,
until thought I'd split laughing. If

killed sure. His plug hat fell off in
the mud, and he dropped a lot of books
he was carrying, and never stopped
sprinting until he tripped over rail

mole in the street. When helped him

meaning of their own. Possibly only
persons of certain class were inferred
in these urns, for graves and tombs of
other kinds are found.
The human remains are invariably ac-
companied by articles such as were
utilized by the people themselves when
alive. These include beads, whistles
shaped like turtles and other animals,
burnt corn, beans, peculiar green
stones and small images of gold. These
images. some of which represent human
beings, or gods. perhaps, were made in
a very peculiar fashion. To begin with,
"a Sort of silhouette in the outline of the
figure was cut out from sheet of very
thin gold, hammered out. Upon this
was soldered gold wire, drawn to the
finest thread, and in this way bulk and
design were added. In the burial pots
have been found good many gold
beads, and it is evident that these an
Gent people possessed considerable
quantities of the yellow metal, which
they utilized in commerce that was
extended by sea over a great part of the
Antillean archipelago.
The richest remains of this departed
race are found on the great island of
Ometepec, eight miles from the west
coast of Lake Nicaragua. The lake, it
will be remembered, is about 100 miles
long, and the island is 20 miles long by
nine miles wide. Some parts of it are
very fertile. and at the present time it
maintains population of 5000 natives.

LITTLE WORLD IN ITSELF.
Provincialism In Paris-Think. ONLY
of Dreyfus and Believes All the
World Does So. Too.

Invent out on Sunday to little town
just over 20 miles from Paris, writes
correspondent of the London Mail. I
dined in the lima couple of cyclists
from Paris yawning at the other side
of the table, local notary and a couple
of friends at the top. Afterwards, hav-
ing no French money, proposed to pay
the bill with sovereign. A sovereign
is currency in the remotest village of
Norway, in Turkey, in Egyptian mud
bazaars, where a white man has hardly
keeper, 20 miles from Paris, had never
seen sovereign and never heard of
one, and he absolutely declined, with
the utmost politeness, to bid more
than 90 francs for it.
That is a parable of the present state
of things in France. In England we are
troubled and grave, preparing our
fleets, regretful that France will be our
enemy, that France insists on having
war. But if war came nobody would be
more utterly astonished than France.
France is paying absolutely no atten-
ton to the Fashoda question. live de-
clared war France would consider it
most unprovoked aggression, just as
she regards the present plain speaking
of our journals as mere mud throwing,
such as she is accustomed to read in her
own press about the Dreyfus AFFAIR."
France, in brief, is just now in
terested in something else-namely:
the affair. And it is utterly impossi-
BILE to persuade her that what absorbs
her does not equally absorb the whole
world. The queen of civilization is
wholly and hopelessly provincial.
