Snake Carriers.

Sonora Eleanora Gonzalez Y Zamora,
of Santa Fe, N. M, is accredited with
being the inventor Of the snake garter,
a rather hideous ornamentation, but
which has taken amazingly with the
dark-eyed, plump senoritas of the City
of Mexico and in Rio de Janeiro. The
garters are made of the dried skins of
the rattlesnake, treated with olive oil
and some other emollient-the secret
of the discoverer-to make them pliable
and lasting The head of the reptile
covers the buckle and rubies or garnets
blaze in the eye sockets. OF course
only the very wealthy can afford to
make presents of a ruby-eyed garter,
but one gay old blade in old Mexico ac-
tually paid $4,000 for the precious
stones he had inserted in the snake
skin, and which he presented to one of
the most beautiful women in the re-
public 1t is said there are at least a
score of these rattlesnake carriers in

but mixed the connection and gave it
to her. The beauty doctor said to put
it on before going to bed at night-in
fact every night for week-if the OBJ
stinate red spot did not disappear
sooner. The first morning she arose
before daylight to examine her face by
gaslight, but there was no perceptible
change in the appearance of her chin.
This went on for a time, but the
third morning. when she looked at her
face she could see that she looked
queer. In place of a small red spot,
her chin was practically all red spot.

WESTERN RIVALRY.


Ray Stannard Baker, in March Century.
Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Portland. throb
with enterprise and rivalry. Nor can they
be called boom towns-not now. Ten years
ago they were in the very heyday of mu-
nicipal intoxication, expanding in a most
extraordinary manner; and they were
shortly sorry for their excuses. The crisis
of 1898 left them all PROSTATE, their rich
men poor, pretentious buildings half COM
pleted, and boom additions to towns behind
for taxes. Unlike the mushroom towns of
reasons for being, and superb natural
strength that brought speedy GONZALES
cence, so that to-day the visitor finds them
reveling in the full joy of life. There is
pugnacity with which Seattle advances her
fine new shipyard, while Tacoma counters
with low death rate and enormous wheat
shipments, and Portland opens her batteries
with On unequaled fresh-water harbor. One
soon enters into the spirit of the animated
population combats and climate battles
and neutrality-suspicious. Skirmishes. With
what enthusiasm Spokane, acquiring new
flour mill, hurls ii, hguratively, in the
teeth of her rivals. Fairhaven offers bat
tie with its salmon industry, and no one
who visits Washington can escape the bel
ligerent banner Of Everett-the smoke from
her manufacturing chimneys. Every city
on the coast has made up its mind firmly
if not quietly, to become the metropolis of
the West.
Ottentimes the rivalry has it's humorous
side. While in Seattle i heard much of
mount Rainier, the SplenOlu volcanic peak
which rises cloud-white southeast by south
of the city. 1t is one Of the most magnifi-
cent of American mountains, now set apart,
with wise forethought, national re-
serve. The people OF Seattle are proud of
Mount Rainier; they regard 1t as a special
Seattle attraction, and have even named a
certain brew of beer after the mountain.
When / reached Tacoma one of the first
things to which my attention was called
was Mount Tacoma, rising gloriously in the
! southeast. 1t struck me that it bore a
singular resemblance to Mount Rainier, and
/ said as much.
1T is sometimes called Mount Rainier"
said my informant; "but if you call it any
thing but Mount Tacoma over here you
can't get anything to eat
And so the mountain is the dear scenic
possession, under separate names, of two
cities.

and detection OF crime. A young woman
in great distress OF spirit She had left
home. she said. carrying a small hand
satchel in which were some OF her most
precious belongings. including 81 bin and
five 81 bills. As she tripped along, uncon-
scfous of danger, gigantic ruff1an had
seized her by the wrist, Wrenched the
satchel away and disappeared i'm the gloom.
What she wanted the police 10 do was TO
discover who the ruffian was, put him IN
prison, and at the same time recover her
property. The sergeant asked her for cleWs
and description of the property. She men,
toned one article after another. At last
she came TO violets. She was fond or vf0-
let's. and kept pressed violets In her satchcl
to perfume its contents. The detectives
nose in fiction is always long and pointed,
but he very rarely uses IL for its proper
function of smelling. The two detectives
assigned TO this case had noses for use
rather than ornament. From barroom to
barroom they went, and asked TO inspect
the 81 and 81 bills received since early even
ing. Their SAVIOR for the most part was OF
stale beer, OF onions, or OF kerosene. But
at last, in the Klondike saloon, there came
to the detectives nostrils the faint, sweet
odor of violets.
''Who brought in this bill?" he asked.
BILLY Burke" said the bartender.
So the two sleuthS started on the trail or
Billy Burke, and when they had found him
they found the young womans satchel, too.
The evidence was so conclusive In fact,
that the man is now serving six months
sentence in jail.

filled the room. The indicator of the volt
meter began to race past all sorts of high
figures on the face of the dial.
Now I'll send to Poldhu." He pressed
the key.
There was a binding flash of blush light,
for with each movement of the key great
sparks jumped two inches between the two
sivered knobs of the induction coil. One
knob of this coil is connected with the
earth, forming the ground connection, the
other with the wire leading to the aerial
wires. Each spark means an oscillating
impulse from the battery to the aerial wire,
and from the wire the oscillations of ether
occur which carry through space at the
speed of $4,000 miles a second. With the
binding flash accompanying each move
ment of the key occurs report to be COM
pared accurately with the noise attending
the discharge of Krak-Jorgensen rifle. 1t
was terrifying-the light, the noise, and
in the midst of it all the inventor calmly
pressing the Key making more noise, more
light. Imagine a company of infantry fir
ing at will in tunnel and you can under
stand the sound that accompanies sending
a message. Marconi, who stuffs cotton in
his ears when sending, is now experiment.
ing to deaden this sound. But somehow, to
one impressed by the fact that here, in
this very room, a message was being sent
through the air across that gloomy stretch
of 5000 miles of ocean, the noise and the
light seemed fitting-gave the proper touch
of the superhuman, of force, of intensity.

why Chamberlain Likes America.
Everybody's Magazine,


Few people know that he has been mar
ried three times. When Mrs Chamberlain
appears in public IL is always I'm the pro-
tecting shadow of her husband, who keeps
her sheltered from the prying Of modern
curiosity with fine determination that no
one can fail to applaud. Her photographs
cannot be purchased in the shops nor have
authentic ones ever been published, unless.
perhaps, she was one of some group. On
the other hand, she has played no small
part in her husbands career. He has often
in his speeches. when she was present, al
luded to the dear interest which attached
him to the United States and made him al
most half American, since Mrs. Chamber
lain would never admit that in marrying
an Englishman she had become an English
subject. At Highbury there hangs a por-'
trait of old Governor Endicott. OF MasSa-
chusetts colony. who cut the ST. George
cross from the British flag. holding IL a
papistical emblem. AS lately as that day
when the whole of great London turned
out to do honor to the colonial secretary
in presenting him the freedom OF the city.
generally spoken of the apotheosis OF
Chamberlain, he alluded to his wife's
tionality and TO his earnest interest in
everything which tended TO bring about a
better understanding between the two peo-
pleS.
