Grasshoppers in California.

The situation ia the grasshopper in
fected districts of Placer and Sacra-
mento counties is growing more and
more serious as the hoppers increase
in size and capacity for harm. At
Orangevale and Fair Oaks unplowed
pasture land is full Of hoppers and
committees have been appointed to
burn all dry vegetation on the lands.
In Fresno county several hundred
acres of land have been stripped of
everything green and left barren
waste. Not a leaf or blade of grass es-
capped. 1t is feared that the grasshop-
pers will ruin the greater portion OF
the crops of that county.
The army of hoppers appears to be
moving to the southeast. Reports
from Orangevale and Fair Oaks state
that the hoppers have attacked the UNI
cultivated land there and have already
done much damage.
II is feared that when they grow
larger they will seize upon the fruit
trees and strip them.
The Supervisors of Sacramento coun-
ty learning that a few individuals who
own pastures in which the pests were
sheltered were opposed to the burning
of such pastures, ordered the immedi-
ate burning of all such places of re-
fuge for the dreaded pests, and MEM
bers of the Board have gone personally
to the scene of action to see that their
orders are carried out.

that a square inch of the mans body
was left untouched. He was kicked,
a rope was thrown across a beam, the
man was strung up by the thumbs,
another rope was tied to his ankles and
his feet ierIea from under him. While
up he was beaten
t appears that the charge was repos-
ing quietly in the War Department at
Washington, when Senator Culberson
Of Texas IN some way got possession of
a copy Of it, and read it IN the Senate.
Did the Republicans feel outraged over
the commission Of the outrage? Not
much, but they turned their entire
batteries over the fact that the news
got out, and If they ever catch the man
that gave it away, God pity him.

THE TELLTALE THUMB.
It's Marks and Lines and It's Signal
From the Drain.
Sunday edition


A tremendous amount Of nonsense
has been written about thumb marks.
1t is claimed that Ghe curious skin con-
flguration on the ball of the thumb is
never the same in any two people and
that it never changes. The first state
ment is correct, and the same thing can
be said of the lines on the palm and
the creases on the bottom of the feet
But the assertion that the thumb marks
never change throughout life is a de
cided exaggeration. The alteration may
come from a variety of causes-any-
thing. in fact, that Will destroy the
outer layer of skin.
Another modifying cause is the tend.
ency of the thumb to develop little
horizontal creases as one grows old.
This is especially true of mechanics and
other working people who use tools,
and eventually the creases will break
up the lines to such an extent that it
is equivalent almost to a rearrange-
ment of the pattern. Specialists in
nerve diseases by an examination OF
the thumb can tell If the patient is
affected or likely to be affected by
paralysis, as the thumb signals this

long before it is visible in any other
part of the body. If the danger symp-
toms are evidenced there, an operation
is performed on what is known as the
thumb center" of the brain, and the
disorder is often removed.
No matter how carefully the individ-
ual may attempt to conceal incipient in
sanity, the thumb will reveal it infal-
libby. 1t is the one sure test. If the
patient in his daily work permits the
thumb to stand at right angle to the
other fingers or to fall listless into the
palm, taking no part in his writing, his
handling of things. his multiform du-
ties, but standing isolated and sulky, il
is an unanswerable confession of men

What is considered to be one of the
largest contracts for horses ever entered
into in the United States was closed
in South st. Joseph, No., recently,
when a firm agreed to supply 1900
horses to be delivered at the rate of
500 per month for two years. Many
sorts and varieties are included in the
specifications, but it is thought that
the most of the animals will find their
way into the British army services.

Hint to Candidates.

A Butler county, Kas., candidate for
Office has invented a new method of
canvassing the district which is an i'm
provement on Governor Budd's buck
board campaign for Congress in Cali
fornia. He drives from one farm
to the other, accompanied by skilled
farm hand, who takes the place of
the farmer to be buttonholed, what
ever he is doing at the time, which
leaves the latter free to talk politics in
the shade of a neighborly tree or some
other comfortable covering, while his
work goes on uninterruptedly. The
scheme is said to be a great vote
maker.

THE WEEKLY COURIER
Carson Letter.

EDITOR COURIER: Writers should be
little more careful in their statements
of facts and occurrences. For instance,
the San Francisco Bulletin of June 8
contains the following: "Bad Shooting
by Excited Husband. Didn't Want
Wife to have Custody of Son. Fired
Four Shots at Woman, Causing Wild
Scene, None OF which took effect. .
Now, why the newspaper man called
that bad shooting, don't know. 1t
seems to me the very best kind OF
shooting for every one concerned in
the exhibition. Suppose any or all OF
the bullets had struck her in vital
parts, would not that have been bad?
Now, why should the newspaper man
write that it is bad shooting to miss
her? 1t may be that the lady deserved
to be shot, but the item gives us no in
timatiop of that fact.

their land. They will let England

Englishmen will then pay their own

The Republican party patriots apollo
gize for the atrocities committed by
the army in Samar upon the ground
that the enemy is cruel and practices
torture, and that it is enforced retallia-
ton. The very same men condemn
the lynching of negroes in the South.
They claim that in Samar the army
must resort to horrible torture to set a
horrible example, but that.in the South
we should proceed according to law.
1t seems to me that they are exceeding
" pert to forgive themselves and to
damn others for one and practically
the same offense.
