When Snakes Left ireland.

Periodically something occurs to raise
again the question whether ST. Patrick
really did make a decree banishing
snakes from Ireland. Naturalists have
no superstitions about such an edict.
Ireland and Britain long ago We're one
land: then they were separated by the
sea, then reunited for short time, and
finally the sea parted them once more.

TO wouLp-BE SETTLERS.
A Strip of Land Strewn with Skeletons
of ProSpectors.

On June 10. 1903, 100000 acres of
land in California were thrown open to
entry. This may be taken up either
under the desert land act or as home
steads in IG0-acre tracts. The strip
stretches from Mojaye 10 the Colorado
river.
We wish TO warn all intending settlers
to let this land alone. There is a GOOD
deal of talk about making the desert
bios -om, but not this one. Nobody will
ever do more for this desert than Mother
Nature has done. The only blooming
that nature has brought about there is
that its freckled bosom blossoms with
large alban pUstules, or pimp'es. pune
tuated with sage brush and cactus. This
sums IN the fora Of the new promised
land. The fauna includes lack rabbits.
horned tOads, lizards. ella monsters and
Yenemous snakes. The soil is coarse and
gravel, and on top Of the coarse gravel
there is fine alkali powder which. when
the wind blowS-and the wiEd blows
often-sweeps over the scorching and
barren land Ike the dreaded sandStormS
of the Sahara. which, by The way. they
much resemble. Even far 70 the south
west. across the lofty mountain ranges,
these desert saiidStormS sometimes sweep
reaching the favored dwelcrs in south
ern California in the midst Of their
orange groves. Even IBIS distant touch
of the desert winds causes trees TO
wither, grass TO scorch and men and AMI
mails to suffer keen!y. Over this dread
full desert the sun moves like a ball of
fire across a sky of brass. Rarely does a
cloud break the intensity Of its piti!ess
rays.
Those credulous persons who may be-
lieve that this is the kind of desert which.
by irrigation. may be turned into a gar
den are doomed to disappointment.
There is no water on this desert strip.
The waters of the Colorado may be led
on the lands of the Yuma desert, hut
that is far lower in level than are these.
Much of this Mojave strip is at an eleva-
ton of 1000 or 1000 feet. As for ar
tesian water the writer personally knows
of one we'll which was bored for nearly
1000 feet, ending in igneous rock and
producing nothing but profanity.
The last hope for the settler on this
barren land would be the discovery of
the precious metals They NAV exist
there. We do not say they cannot be
found. But we know that the land has
been prospected by experienced miners
for half a century. If tenderfoot can
find gold mine where an Old California
miner fails. he is a smart tenderfoot
But we doubt his success.
We warn all eastern people not to be
deluded by false, even if well-meaning.

land between Mojave and the Colorado
river. 1t is strewn with the skeletons

HISTORIC WIT OF WOMEN.
To close out broken lines.
to buy NOW.

1T is melancholy fact" observes Eve
1yn Greenleaf Sutherland, in paper be-
fore the New England Woman's club on
"Are Women Witty?" that the only
women who had reputation for wit in
bygone centuries were the women who
lacked a shred of any other reputation
whatever. They could afford wit, seem
ingly, having nothing to lose. This divorce
of wit from morality in the female charac-
ter has it's. inevitable reflection in litera-
ture, and its inevitable reflex action from
literature 1t. has been we'll said that none
Of the women in the old novels have any
character, unless it is very bad char
acter. The offsetting Of Amelia by Becky
Sharp must have been a terrible hint to
the youth of the time of the choice that
was offered man in his matrin onial Ven
lures. The notion that the good woman
is necessarily the dull woman, and the con-
verse, has not yet been altogether ex-
ploded. The only women of reputati ton
who could afford in times past a reputa tion
for wit were women whose preeminent po-
sition precluded any resentment of their
wit. This is perhaps why SO many of the
bon mots Of women that history has pre-
served to us come as the utterances D1
queens. Eizabeth's famous pun, Ye be
very burly, my Lordsof Burleigh' yet MAKE
