ARIZONA GIRLS GOODNESS.
She Thought and Acted Swiftly When
She Saw the Snake.

From the Arizona Republican.
An incident occurred recently near this
city IN which a ffteen-year-old girl dis
played wonderful presence of mind and IL
Illustrated the value of good judgment and
self-possession In all everyday affairs of
life. as well as on extraordinary occasions
when the house takes fire or two trains try
TO pass on the same track.
In a ranch home not far from town lives
a family which. at the time mentioned had
in It's employ a nurse to wait upon the
lady of the house. who was in delicate
health, and the girl referred to whose du-
ties were to wash the dishes and attend to
the minor household affairs
One afternoon when the head of the house
was away from home, the three women
were sitting In a room together when the
girl noticed a snake of considerable size
coiled up on a clOJhesrack or shelf some
distance above the floor, and craning its
neck out and weaving it to and fro in
regular snake fashion. The girl knew the
impressionable condition of her mistress
and the possible effect upon her of any I'M
due and sudden excitement. Her quick re-
membrance of this fact and her rapidly
evolved plan of action are the proof of her
self-pOSSessiOn.
She knew the prevailing weakness of
women to scream when anything unusual
occurs, and therefore knew she could not
even take the nurse into her confidence at
once In the matter of the discovery of the
snake without great danger of precipitating
the climax she wanted TO avoid. So she
quietly said to her mistress: II think I
heard your husband calling you at the
gate" The lady of the house at once
withdrew. and as soon as she left the room
the girl cautioned the nurse to make no
outcry. and seizing the nearest club went
after the reptile In manner that put him
out Of business In short order. The nurse
Of course, could not restrain little demon
stration when she first saw the snake, but
she chOked herself off In short order and
by the time the mistress of the house re-
turned TO tell the girl she must have been
mistaken about the call conditions in the
room had resumed their usual serenity, and
the girl admitted that she must have been
dreaming when she fancied she heard the

A Mountain of Glass.
the Salt Lake Herald

A party of arohaelogists and antigua
rians have made important discoveries in
the hitherto unexpiored region at the
northern limit of the Harqua Hala range
of mountains in Arizona. A great desert
and the total absence of water have pre-
vented any previous examination, and only
the Indians know of the curiosities of these
mountains. One side of one mountain rises
In terraces, and presents many features
recalling the Grand canyon of Colorado.
The whole mass is Of obsidian or volcanic
glass and glitters in colors of green, blue
and black. 1t may be seen on clear morn
ings at great distances and the glitter of
the mountain has lured many travellers in
It's direction.
The exploring party found under a high
shelving rock narrow-necked ola, or
earthenware jar, bottom up, containing hu-
man bones, a broken hammer and a metate
or stone employed by the prehistoric races
of Arizona probably for the same purposes
as a similar utensil is used by the aborigi-
mes of today for grinding maize. Slabs
turquoise stones and other curiosities were
revealed by digging, and there were marks
on buried rocks which were supposed to be
inscriptions.
A careful study of the curiosties was not
made, but another party will be organized
for the purpose of unearthing all available
rellcS In the mountain and to study them.
The mountain of glass is marvel of vol
canic upheaval 1t is pretty much as the
last eruption left it, except that where
fractures have occurred the varied and
beautiful colors of the volcanic glass are
brilliantly reflected. The mountain is dam
gerous and difficult of ascent, owing to the
precipitouS terrace and the ice-like smooth
ness of the surface.

, the Philadelphia Record.

From the Pnllauelpnla Record
The Hunterdon county authorities have
made a strange discovery which might
have resulted in the escape Of Isaac
Mitchell, colored, who is in jail at Fleming
ton. N j., awaiting trial for the murder of
Edward Kane at Whitehouse two years
ago. Since MitcheEs incarceration he has
been kept in the most dingy cell in the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS prison, and has
been kept under the closest surveillance.
When allowed the use of the corridor and
Jail yard to exercise in he was securely
fastened with heavy ankle irons, which
were connected with stout chains.
Exercising under these conditions was
tiresome to the negro, and he began devils
ing plan of relief. After studying long
time he finally solved the problem. With a
finger he let drop after drop of water fall
into the key holes upon the levers Of the
locks Of the ankle irons. The constant
dropping of the water soon sprang the
locks, and the negros legs were free Be-
fore the turnkey arrived to place Mitchell
in the dungeon the shackles would be re-
placed.
Sheriff Frech learned of the occurrence
and after a great deal of persuasio sue
ceeded in having Mitchell perform the oper-
alton in his presence. He was, at once
placed in his cell, and still greater precau-
lions are being taken to hold him.

Health of Havana Good,
From the Philadelphia Record.

Official reports from the chief sanitary
officer at Havana continue to afford
marked evidences of the part formerly
played by mosquitoes in spreading con-
tagiOus diseases. and especially yellow
fever. As a result largely of constant san
itary warfare against mosquitoes there has
been no smallpox In the Cuban capital
since last July. while since March l last
there have been but two outbreaks of yell
low fever. and these yielded readily TO
treatment. Seventy-fve men are kept con-
stantly employed in cleaning, draining and
oiling small streams and pools: standing
water kept within the city limits must be
made mosquito proof, and disinfection go
hand in hand with the extirpation of the
insect pest. Havana has thus been kept
free from yellow fever during the current
month"; June event unprecedented in the
history of this oldest Of American cities.

From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
A burgh that possesses a clock four CEN
turtles old may fairly claim a respectable
measure of antiquity. Such Is the boast
Of Musselburgh, the ancient and evil
smelling neighbor Of Edinburgh This
week, however, the clock has ceased to go,
and in due courseswill find resting place
in the town museum. 1t well deserves thus
to be preserved, for it told the time to the
Duke Of Somerset and his army as far
back as 1547. when. on the field Of Pinkie
hard by, they tried to force the Scots to
give their young Queen Mary in marriage
to Edward vi of England. Prince Charlie
and his Highlanders. too, marched under
it in 1745 to do battle with Sir John Cope
at the neighboring village of Prestonpans.
But the old Tolbooth in which 1t is set
will remain to tell of a great epoch in
Scottish history. Its newest portion is
built of stones taken from the shrine of
Our Lady of Loretto, the first religious
house In Scotland to have its monastic in
mates expelled, for which and kindred acts
the good people Of Musselburgh were for
a long time yearly communicated by the
