These Were Bio HaiIstones.

The weirdest storm story in years
comes down from the Downieville and
Snow Tent country. where 1t is alleged
that chickens were killed by hall
stones and horse was knocked sense
less The storm is said to have been
the fercest in years. Four chickens
are said to have been killed by the
hail and many knocked down. Light
ming struck a tree on the Goodyear
bar grade. and it was still burning to-
day. At George Cooper's ranch. near
Snow Tent, the hailstones were re-
ported as large as small eggs, and one
OF these knocked the horse senseless.

East African: ReIIaIOus Ceremony.


Recently a strange ceremony was
performed at Changamwe, East Afri-
ca. to bring rain. A house-to-house
visit was made among the natives by
a selfappointed committee who col
lected from each hut the sum Of two
annas. With the total thus collected
an OK was purchased. A procession
was then formed, in which all the
available children took part. After
the procession had proceeded around
the district for period Of two hours,
the OK was sacrificed, prayers from
the Koran being sang by the children.
The meat of the OK was then boiled
in pots by adult participators and
given to the children to eat until the
whole was consumed. The bones and
remaining offal of the carcass were
later put In aNsack, carefully carried
to the sea and SpNn into deep water,
circumstantiallS fell for a few
hours on the SUD day.

Two Sure Cures.

Tor rheumatism" said the pretty
woman. take a long piece Of Irvine
and tie 1t around your waist, up under
your arms and down again around
your wrist, and let it stay there. In
three days you will be perfectly
cured" II know a better cure than
that said the tall, thin boy. Take
black cat out to a graveyard on a dark
night and cut OF both its ears and a
piece OF its tail. Put the ears and
tail on the roof OF the house to sun.

"Roost.rs" Barred In Mailman.

The board Of health IL determined to
have its rules relative to the keeping
OF fowl lived up to. as was shown at
the meeting last night, when a man
living In the west end had his license
revoked because he kept a rooster,
which is contrary to the rules OF the
board. A man may keep a few hens.
but ROSTERS are excluded. 1t is un-
derstood that the rooster IN question
was a bantam. but in the eyes Of the

Vegetable with Old Lln.ans.

Asparagus is the aristocrat of the
food plants. None other has SO dlstin-
guished a lineage, for it's records reach
back almost to the beginning OF au-
thentic history. 1t is mentioned by
the comic poet Cratinus. who died
about 425 B. c. The Romans hold
asparagus in the highest esteem, the
elder Cato treating at length, in his
DE re Rustica." still extant, of the
virtues and correct cultivation Of the
plant. Pliny. writing about 60 A. D.,
has great deal to say of asparagus.
He says: "Of all the products of your
garden your chief care should be as
paragus."

make a little study Of the sailing YES

blows in the same direction over every

that some vessels go one way and

Science Cannot Say Whether There
BE Wen There or Not
To the popular mind all astronomical
resenrch ought of necessity to be con-
ccrncd with the important questions
whether there are men in the moon
and inhabitants In Mars. To the first
Of these astronomy returns a decided
negative. There is no life on the moon.
and probably no life, either vegeta BILE
or animal. existed at any period Of hu-
man history. To the second the an
swer is: We cannot tell. There NAV be
men In Mars and there may not The
conditions OF life there do not preclude
the existence OF human beings We
have In Mars rain and snow, sunshine
and gloom, summer and winter, as on
our earth.
Perhaps the closing years of the
twentieth century will see astronomers
armed with a telescope powerful
enough to reveal towns and cities in
Mars. Should ever such discovery be
made | could conceive of none greater
In the whole range OF time. none more
upsetting or disconcerting. To the or
binary astronomer untroubled by such
hopes the future lines OF astronomical
progress is simply and clearly defined,
and that progress is simply to answer
the old lines:
Twinkle. twinkle. little star.
How ! wonder what you are.
This was the problem before our
friend who wrote on astronomy a hun
dred years ago; this Will be the prob
lem before astronomers hundred

The impression seems to. prevail
that the condition Of Mr.. Hurst's
family was not discovered until this
week, but such is not the case.
Charitable people of all religious
denominations. and some not mem
bers Of the church, have been caring
for the family for Ave months past,
but this was not generally known.
They have been extremely liberal, and
the recent movement is no more than
right that the burdens may be distri.
