CHINESE NEVER WHISTLE.
Story of American Snake-Charmer
May Explain Celestial Su-
perstition.


Did you ever hear a Chinaman
whistle?
It's better than 10 to that you never
did and about the same odds that you
never paused to wonder why. No mat
ter how brightly the sun shines or how
the hop market fiuguates the celestial
never whistles a note, says the Butte
Miner.
Hop Lee Sing, a member of Butte's
Chinese colony, when asked TO explain
the phenomenon told the following
story:
Many years ago snake charmer went
to China from this country. he
charmed the reptiles and compelled
them TO go to sleep by peculiar whistle.
The simple Chinese had never before
witnessed such a wonderful perform
ance and looked upon the stranger with
awe.
One day pretty Chinese girl left her
houseboat home and ran away with the
snake charmer The orientals believed
that the American had captivated the
girl with his whistle in the same man
ner that he charmed the reptiles.
After long search the foreigner and
his bride were found. The man was
locked up and the girl restored to her
folks. He was ordered to be killed.
The next morning when the execu-
TONERS came to the prison their captive
had escaped The jailer was lying in a
stupor near by and the Cinnamon i'm
mediately decided that he was victim
Of the mysterious whistle.
Within a short time the snake charm
er was recaptured and again sentenced
10 death. Three euards were placed
over him TO prevent a second escape.
All night long the American sat in his
wooden cage and comforted himself by
whistling songs of his native land. Just
before dawn he closed his eyes and
whispered a prayer
With brisk step he walked out the
next morning to meet his fate, whistling
as he went
AS he was about to kneel before the
executioner a whistle sounded in the
harbor and moment later an American
gunboat steamed in. The Cinnamon
were dumfounded at the unusual sight
and thought that the snake charmer
must be an agent of the devil The
whistle, they believed, was his method
of communicating with hell.
Shortly afterward there was a pun
Of smoke and a shell whistled over the
heads Of the celestials. exploding In a
iosshouse near by. The temple was de-
stroyed and two priests killed.
This was enough The executioners
fed and the snake eharmer MADE mis-
way safely to the gunboat and escaped.
Shortly afterward the emperor deliv-
cred an edict making II a crime for any
Chinaman to whistle
OF course American Chinks don't
place any faith in the power Of a whistle,
but the average celestial would just
about as soon cut of his queue as indulge
in the time-honored Yankee pastime.
They think IT would bring them bad
luck.

ABOUT JOHNSON GRASS.
When 1t Was Introduced in Louisiana
1t Soon Became a Puzzling
Problem.

II is not given to many countries to
boast that its soil is too fertile. and
that plants transferred TO il bloom and
grow with too great luxurianee, This.
however, is the case in Louisiana. says
the New Orleans Times-Demoerat,
where nearly everything hourishes bet
ter than it does anywhere else, even in
its native soil. II will be remembered
how few years ago a gentleman OF
this state, pleased by an aquatic plant,
bearing a beautiful purple blossom
which he saw in Honduras, brought the
water hyacinth TO Louisiana. He threw
a few bulbs into a tub in his back yard;
but the hyacinth, which grew slowly
in Central America, its original home.
spread so rapidly in Louisiana that ii
soon became a great pest; filling our
lakes and streams, interfering with
navigation. with logging, fishing and
a hundred other industries.
Still later an enterprising planter of
East Carroll parish, who had found
cotton not profitable, determined TO
convert his plantation into a cattle
ranch. He had heard Of Johnson grass
as afording excellent grazing in the
west; and he bought a quantity Of Il
and planted it on his Louisiana place.
Ii did well, better than anticipated, bet
ter than desired The Johnson grass,
encouraged by the rich alluvial lands
of East Carroll to a growth it had
never known In the west spread with
great rapidity over the entire planta-
ton, and to neighboring plantations,
and one of the leading agricultural
nroblems In Louisiana and the south
west ever since has been how TO get
rid of it, When the increasing price
AZ cotton led the introducer of Johnson
grass to try and change his crop to cot
IN. he set TO work to extirpate the
grass. but his Efforts were entirely I'M
successful. A sturdy night against II
has been kept up ever since, with only
moderate success.

JoR0AN's THEORY.
Does Not Believe Mrs. Stanford

Stamford University, Cal. March .
David Starr Jordan, president of the
Stanford university, said today:
Mrs. Stanford's mind was perfectly
clear the last time 1 saw her. which
was on the 10Th of January, the day
after the reported poisoning in San
Francisco. Since that time 1 have had
several letters from her in her own
handwriting, and ] defy any one to say
they are not perfectly logical and clear.
The only time Mrs. Stanford mentioned
the reported poisoning was the day
after it occurred, as she came down on
the train with me. For my part. / do
not think she drank any poisoned wa
ter. Strychnine might have been in

spiteful purposes, possibly a petty
quarrel of servants. This is only my

Estate Not Large.

Mrs. Stanford did not leave so large
an estate as was supposed, for during
her lifetime she decided the property
she inherited from her husband to the
regents of Stanford university, to be
held in trust for that institution after
her death. The last transfer of i'm
portance made by her was about hree
years ago, when she made over
her magnificent residence on CAL
ifornia street, and at the same
time she practically gave to
the regents Of the university a trus-
teeship to her Jewelry, which she pro-
Vided should be disposed of for the
benefit Of Leland Stanford, jr., uni
versity after she had passed away.
Relatives of Mrs. Stanford.
OF those who. it is presumed by
friends, are likely to receive a share
of the estate left by Mrs. Stanford, it
is generally believed that Miss Jennie

HeTmione and Leland Stanford La

more frequently in her company than
