A Snake Story.

At j. J. McSorley's place at Chill
Gulch a gopher snake has installed
itself as a fixture. Some time ago one
of the ladies opened the pantry door
and found the snake curled up on the
floor. She made an attempt to kill it
but it got away. At other times since,
it has been seen about the place. The
family have been troubled with mice,
but all of sudden they apparently
ceased to exist. Mr. McSorley saw the
snake one morning this week scudding
across the kitchen floor with mouse
held in its jaws. Now they no longer
try to kill the snake, as it keeps the
place clear OF mice. The gopher snake
is harmless and lives upon rodents of
different kind. Citizen.

A Bad Runaway.

Last Monday evening Mrs. May
Hughes and Lydes Tibberghein of
Angels Camp were driving, when their
horse took fright and ran away, throw
ing the ladies out of the buggy. In
falling, Mrs. Hughes caught her left
leg in the spring, and was dragged
more than half mile before the horse
was stopped. When she was picked
up it was found that six of her ribs
were broken, and she had also received
a severe scalp wound. She is not ex-
pected to live. Miss Tabberghein was
not injured.

Men have been put to work repairing
the break. Lately, they have come to
a staudstill owing to failure to deliver
the pipe. 1t is doubtful if the break
can be fully repaired this season, al.
though every effort will be made to
that end. Mr.. Belluomini was all over
Clover valley, the nearest point where
the waters from the broken dam would
spread out. He informs US that he
saw no dead fish there as a Stockton
paper has published. AS for bears and
other wild animals having feast on the
fish left stranded by the receding
waters, the wild animals are not so
plentiful in that region. The whole
story is myth.

Faith In Their Sons.

The implicit faith that the ma

is beautiful to behold, but it is some
what msrred by the absolute lack of
confidence that they feel for other
mothers boys. Two young men
from a Western town who room to
gether in this city had an example of
this the other day. Both are stu
dents, who believe that all work and
no play makes Jack dull boy. and
who accordingly spend three hours
in amusing themselves to every one
that they put in study.
Some whisper of this reached their
respective parents, and the regular
Monday letters from home brought a
little preachment on the subject.
Jacks mother said to him that she
was grieved and distressed at the ac-
counts she had heard of his misdoings.

American Women and Dress.

The views on "The American Wo-
man and Dress" expressed by Helen
Watterson Moody, in the Ladies'
Home Journal for June, are based on
the marked difference in the way the
different nationahties of women visi-
tors at the Paris Exhibition last sum-
mer treated the problem of clothes.
The English women were gowned
with the utmost regard for utility
and comfort. The American and
French women appeared in toilettes
of silk and satin and lace which prop
erly had no place whatever in the
Exposition grounds. But while the
French women's clothes were as
beautiful as the American women's,
and fuller of thatindescribable charm
called style, they were not nearly so
costly. The cost of dressing grows great
er everyyear, and the shifts of fashion
are prompter and more imperative.
Where the English woman goes plain
ly dressed with IA serene mind the
American woman "keeps up with the
fashion" but lines her face with
anxious thought as to how it shall all
be managed. Our last seasons
gowns. perfectly fresh and just as
pretty and suitable as ever, are alter
ed aud recut and retrimmed at the
cost of many dollars and much time
and hard work, not because they
need IT, not because We want to, eth
er, but simply because Mrs. Wood
across the way, and Mrs. Pope IN the
next street, are doing the same thing
and they are dong it because We
are! The truth is, We American wo
men not only lay too much en- basis
upon dress. SO that IL takes quite too
pt1mln"nt d place ia our scheme If
life, but We also spend too much
money on dress.

The Insular Gases.

The United States Supreme Court
last week handed down'its opinions
In the Porto Rican cases dealing
with the right of he Government 70
impose tariff duties.
In the De Lima. case It was held
that it deals with the transitional
stage, and the majority of opinion
was to the effect that territory &C
quired by the United States is part
of the United States and not a for
elgn territory. The court decided
that import duties upon goods from
that island could not be levied at
that time.
This decision was against the gov
eminent.
In the Downes case, dealing with
the legality of the e1sction of duties
on goods sent from Porto Rico to
New York after the passage of the
Foraker act, it was held that these
exsctions were constitu tional.
This decision was in favor of the
Government.
The Chief Justice dissented from
the above opinion, holding that the
source Of national power in this
country Is the Constitution, aud the
Government, as TO our international
affairs, possesses no inherent soyer
eIgn power not derived from that in
strument, and inconsistent with its
spirit.
10 concurring with the Chief
Justice, Justice Harlan held that
Congress has no authority outside of
the Constitution which created it.
