SNAKES AS FoREcAsTERs.

 Avalanche Is Feared.

Avalanche Is Feared.
 Caldwell CN. J) Dispatch to New York
 Press.
 Scores of snakes of many sizes have deserted their haunts in the Hook noun tain range and are infesting the Passaic valley in the neighborhood of the Boom ton turnpike and the Passaic valley road. John A. Kinnear, a farmer, who lives near Towaco, says that in the summer of 1885 there was another exodus of snakes from the mountains and that few weeks afterward many large powders fell from the mountain sides into the val ley, injuring many persons and oolns much property damage.
 Fear is expressed by persons living in the valley now that the desertion of the mountains by the snakes foreshadows another convulsion of nature, which may send more powders down into what is now a thickly settled country. Farmers who live near the foot of the range are out with their men examining conditions and looking for loose fragments of the mountains. Many of the rocks which fell in 1885, after the snakes had hurried to the valley, weigh from 20 to 25 tons, and they still remain in the fields where they rolled Kinnear said the more appre- hensive and enterprlsing farmers, who felt that their homes would be In the path of such powders, should they tum- ble, were arranging to build barri cades back of their buildings to stop anything that might roll their way.
 It was on last Wednesday that the first of the fugitive snakes were observed in the Boonton turnpike and the Passair valley road. By Thursday their number had increased until great many of the wiggling reptiles were seen in the roads. Kinnear said that today scores of snakes were summing themselves in the roads or coiled up in the lowlands near the high ways. The situation has become so bad on the farms that the women and chill dren refuse to go outdoors and the men carry clubs with which to kill snakes when they go out to do farm work.

 So the game has gone merrily on. For many years it was the dressmaker who was generally arrested and prosecuted while the people of social position went immune, not by concealing so much as by overawing through their position and influence. This has lately been changed into the democratic effort to make all the incomers fare alike.

THE Nj burning was Especially Hard on the b arbers."

This custom of stopping shaving on
the death of the emperor goes back to
the days of Chen Lung, the second
great emperor Of the present dynasty,
who is said to have i~naugurated it
when his favorite wife died. His grief
was such that he ordered his officials
not to shave their heads for 100 days;
and thereafter a similar order was
sent forth upon the death Of an en-
perOr.
How 1t Affected the Women.
The imperial deaths had a serious

with a red gown was ordered back

slippers. A policeman saw her as She
