Tho NattIesnake,s Rattle.

The utility of the rattle to the rattle snake is problem still awaiting solu' tion. It has been supposed to be useful as paralyzing Its prey through terror excited by the sound thus induced But this is very doubtful explana- ton. It is akin to the notion formerly entertained that serpents had a power of fascinating other creatures. Others have thought that 1t seems to excite the curiosity of animals and so brings them within the rattlesnake's reach. It has also been supposed that it serves, as 1t may do, to enable snakes of diff ferent sexes to find each other and also to guard the animal from attack when !t is helpless from It's power of offense having been temporarily exhausted.
 No sufficient evidence has, however been collected to show thdt any of these ingenious speculations affords us a real clew to the true cause of such 6 curious and elaborate mechanism Quarterly Review.

A Bit of Diplomacy.

An American from Texas got Into trouble with gendarme in the City of Mexico during the Spanish-American war, when foreign and local sentiment was against the United States. The offense consisted largely in the fact that the stranger was an American, but he landed in jail nevertheless. Not wishing to see the Texan spend the night in Jail, his friends sallied forth to obtain his release. First they visited the home of the American ambassador and found he was out of the city. Then they went to the home of the English minister and found him in bed. By dint of insistence they succeeded in getting into the house and were met on the staircase by the minister himself. arrayed in official pajamas. Carefully disgusting the fact that their impris- oned friend was an American, they ap- pealed for assistance. "Ah," said the minister cautiously, "your man is in jail, is he? But tell me, is he British subject? "Your excellency," said General Agremonte, who acted as spokesman, "the prisoner speaks Eng fish perfectly" "Ah," said the minis ter, "then the presumption is in his favorw Half an hour later, thanks to the personal intervention of the Brit ish minister, the Texan was released from tue Mexican jail.

ANCIENT MARINERS.
Queer Belfefs They Held About the
 UnexplOred Ocean.

The landlocked Mediterranean, which was the only sea known to the Romans and Greeks of twenty odd centuries ago. was filled with mysterious terrors, while the more distant lands bordering on 1t were the abodes of wonders and strange peoples. Gods of monstrous shapes ruled the waters, enchanting sirens dwelt on the islets and rocks, and on the dry land beyond were to be found weird enchantresses, fire breath Ing beasts. fierce pygmies and dreadful cannibals. Adventurous voyagers who got as far as the pillars of Hercules, now called the strait of Gibraltar, brought back intelligence that the great ocean beyond was not navigable. It was part of the mighty river which flowed around the flat earth in an un- ending stream.
 Tradition says that there was In those times at Gibraltar stone pillar 100 cu- bits high, with brass statue on 1t and an inscription stating this to be the linn 1t of navigation. Beyond was "sea of darkness" infested with terrors beyond the power of the imagination to con ceive. Occasionally bold navigator did, nevertheless, venture outside Into the Atlantic, but was compelled to turn back very quickly. A whirlwind would arise and threaten to swamp the vessel, or, more alarming still, gigantic hand, supposed to be that of Satan, would emerge from the ocean of eternal gloom and warn back the mariners.
 Not merely on these accounts was the ocean impracticable for ships. It was reported to be so dense with salt ness and so crowded with seaweeds and huge beasts that headway could not be made through 1t. Even up to the time of Columbus such beliefs prevailed, and his crews were terrified on entering the Saragossa sea by the weeds and calms.

Taken at His Word.

When dealing with black servants in India, it is necessary to be very careful in the wording of ones instructions, for they are sometimes taken very literally. A missionary voyaging on a river boat with primitive accommodation was compelled to use a bucket as a wash bowl. One morning his boy servant was bringing the bucket to his master when he spilled some of it over the lat ter's feet. Why don't you throw 1t all over mel" said the missionary irri- tably. "Ahaw exclaimed the boy and promptly did so.

Turning first to the southerner the judge asked abrupt Iy, "Is the civil rights bill constitution al?" "No, sir" replied the young man. Turning to Reed, the judge propounded the same question. "Yes, sir," replied Reed. Whereupon Judge Wallace look ed gravely from one to the other before he spoke.

BRANDS OF CHEESE.
Gorgongola Is n Cheese to Swear by,
 Hamburger to Swear At.

Hamburger to Swear At.
 Each country has its favorite cheese. The Swiss make the Gruyere cheese, known more generally in this country as Schweitzerkase. It is made of goats milk and is full of holes caused by the gases in fermentation. The cheese is initiated, but never equaled, here. The typical English cheese is the Cheddar, first made iu the English town after which it is named. 1t is very like American cream cheese. Chesire Is an- other favorite English cheese, while the fashionable cheese of the day is Stilton, q cheese which defies imitation. Sage cheese, first made in England, is now made the world over. Its distinguish ing characteristic is the fiavoring and coloring of sage. parsley, spinach and marigold leaves bruised and steeped.
 Erie is a popular French soft cheese, and Camembert, originating in Nor mandy, is another. These cheeses are cured in caves where the temperature never rises above 12 to 14 degrees. They are ready for marketing in May and November. Roquefort, celebrated French cheese, is made from the min gled milk of goats and sheep that ,rowse on the thyme clad banks of the Arno, in western France. These cheeses are also rip in caves, but the tenn perature is kept at 40 degrees.
 Akin to the Roquefort cheese is that called Gorgonzola, made in Italy after similar processes. It is milder than RoQuefort and not quite so good, but 1t is sold much cheaper. Another Italian cheese, the Parmesan, is very hard, and is usually grated. It is oftenest used with macaroni. Another curious Italian cheese is the Cacciocavello, or horse cheese, which is delicious, and i'm proves with age. It is cured in the skins used In making sausages and comes in curious, sausagelike shapes.
 Limburger cheese, so beloved by the Germans, originated in Belgium. It is extraordinarily rich, being allowed to ripen to putrefaction; hence its horrify' ing odor in unaccustomed nostrils Some persons have a saying, "Gorgon' zola is cheese to swear by, Limbur' ger to swear at." From Holland come the Edam and the pineapple, both madt in cleanly manner and very popular It is written in history that the Dutch used their round, cannon ball like Edam chesses to shoot out of their can non when the Swedes were besiegine Amsterdam.-Philadelphia North Amer | tcau.

R. G. DUN'S MONTHLY REVIEW
Trade Conditions for February in the
 Southwest

'
 February bank clearings are largest on record and gross railway earnings are enormous. Foreign trade con tinues very heavy. The prices for commodities did not alter materially during the month.
 In our immediate district present business conditions are most favora- ble. The coming of the rain has re- lieved the anxiety of the agriculturist and proved boom to stockmen. Grain which had been of slow growth on account of unusually cold dry weather of January and February was beginning to turn yellow and pasturape was short. Now with just average Spring rains and sunshine the large crops predicted earlier in the season for Southern California will be insured
 The work in bean and beet field is progressing with renewed confidence. The strike of the beet thinning crews delayed work somewhat at Oxnard where acreage is larger than ever be- fore.
 If is now conceded that the orange crop suffered little injury from frost this season, but that lemons were considerably damaged. Deciduous fruit trees and vines were benefited by cold and are reported in excellent condition, just bursting into bloom in many localities.
 Celery shipments for the season have ended. About $50 carloads went for ward from the peatlands; quality and prices were good
 Orange shipping is now brisk, 12o to 15O carloads daily. Records show that to date about 1000 carloads less have been shipped this season than last cold weather and cheap prices for apples have effected to some extent the Eastern orange market.
 It is estimated that one-third of the Lima bean crop still remains in this section unsold. However, the Spring trade demand, it is thought, will easily absorb this without lowering present price quotations, leaving the market we'll cleaned up for the new crop.
 The cured fruit market is quiet. Quotations nominal in absence of wholesale transactions. The directors of California Raisin Growers Associa- tion are formulating a plan of reorga- nization for term of five years which will soon be submitted to growers.
 The California Honey Producers Association, which formed in Decem- Der along the lines of the Southern California Fruit Exchange has now 13,OOO colonies pledged and promises to be a factor in the bookkeeping in terests of the state the coming year.
 Locally trade conditions were never better. Travel to the city has been unusually large and retail trade has been materially stimulated.
 Building continues active, steady growth meeting the demand. Work on projected suburban lines shows nc cessation and one by one are reaching completion. Total resources Of al national banks in Los Angeles have increased thirty three and one-thiro per cent for the past three months.

IL is Different Now.

1t is not very long since Edward
Boyce was president of the Western
Federation of Miners, and as such
he was loud i'll his assertions of the
rights OF working men, provided
that they belonged to some labor
organization. He was equally en-
phatic in his denunciation of capital
of any description and of capitalists
of any kind.
1t was one of his stock sayings
at that time that Labor being the
producer of all wealth is entitled to
all it produces" It is different
now, however. Since that time
Edward Boyce has become quite
wealthy. It is said that he did very
well, fnanally, through his official
connection with the Western Fed
Grafton, and since through the strike
in the Hercules, the latter by mar
riage.
But from whatever source Mr..
Boyce is now a man of considerable
wealth, part of which he put into
some residences at Wallace this sea-
son. Under a strict construction of
the statement given above, that
Edward was so fond of making.
these cottages do not belong to him
at all, but to the carpenters who
erected them.
1t is quite as we'll, however, that
Mr.. Boyce has struck streak of
luck that has taken him away from
his former occupation and directed
his personal efforts to the line of
money making, and under the cir
cumstances there is no one in the
community who will not express
satisfaction at the change. In an
interview had with Mr.. Boyce in
the last issue of the Wallace Press
Mr.. Boyce is quoted as saying that
he was not in touch with labor mat
tiers. Mr.. Boyce is now developing
some mining properties in which he
is interested east Of Wallace, and
he will doubtless soon become a
member of the Mine Owners Asso-
citation, which formerly came in for
such large portion of his denun-
citation. He was a very consistent
socialist" short time ago, but 1t is
dollar to doughnuts that he will
soon abandon any ism that requires
division of property. -Wardner

not overlook an exhibit Of her
own, Our neighbors seems to
think that all we can raise here is
nolitics and alkali, and occasionally
little hell, and as most of them
came from Missouri, they will
have to be shown" that we have
any other products. The idea of a
friendly rivalry from the different
precincts, is taking with the people.
In this way each locality has in
reality little Fair of its own, and
GETS full credit for its own neigh
borhood, instead of losing its iden-
tity. As there is not a precinct in
the county but that can make a
most creditable exhibition, the
whole ought to make show worth
seeing. AS said before, however,
that unless Caldwell wants to be
disgraced it behooves US to get up
an exhibit that will take first
