MYSTERIOUS BEE RIVER
No Data Available On the Extent o, it's Effect Upon Colorado Channel

General Manager Cory of the Cali fornia Development Company reports that the Colorado is apparently silt ing up about as rapidly as it cut out it's channel, but he is as yet unable to ascertain just how much of the lower ing-pf the bed of the river was due to the cutting back of the Bee river. He says that it will be two weeks before the country will have dried out sui ficiently for it to be possible to get to the Bee river and ascertain just what it's condition is. The Imperial head ing is six feet lower than the bed of the Colorado was before the flood, and he thinks this gives ample lati- tude to assure ability to take in wat CT when the river gets down to its natural level again, even if the Bee river has cut back, as is believed to be the case.
 A week or ten days ago the bed of the river opposite the intake was re- ported to be 20 feet below the old level, but as the water falls the silt ac- cumulates, Z

FINE SAMPLES OF eaApes

Samples of Malaga, Muscat and To- kay grapes, grown by F. B. Torres ter near El Centro, have been brought to the Press office. Finer grapes are not produced anywhere in California. The punches are large, the berries are big and firm, and the quality is superfine, Although the Tokay is not yet colored, it is as sweet as an en- tirely ripe grape. The Malagas and Muscats are perfect and evidently would make superior raisins.

THROWN OUT AS SUGGESTION
Young Man Had Exhausted Many Possibilities, But There Was
 One Thing Left.

q don't know what the worlds com. ing to!" growled the young man seat ed in the corner of the compartment He somehow thought it looked big to be continually finding fault with things generally. Talk about individual rights, where are they?"
 The other passengers were appar- ently content to listen, so the youth continued:
 'If l walk on the footpath, I get damned between a couple of perambu- lators; if I attempt to cross the street, some idiot of cyclist Is bound to i'm peril his worthless neck and my limbs by arranging collision; if I travel by tram or bus, cant choose my com pany; if took to swimming to and from the office. some idiot In boat would brain me with an oar; if could fly-but what's the good of talking? wonder if there's one single, solitary thing I could do without fear of mo lestation?''

The TeIi-Tale Hand.

A writer in an English weekly de clares that if we want to know what the other person is thinking we must look at his or her hands Even un. practiced lips can lie, as every one knows. Long practice in self-control will enable one to keep ones voice sweetly cordial when there is nothing but indifference or cold dislike behind 1t. The eye can be made to shoot glances which are not at all register for the emotions. But the hands. 1t is asserted, are utterly beyond the con trol of those to whom they belong Even people who hardly gesticulate at all-and to keep the hands still is considered by the Anglo-Saxon a most essential part of good breeding --even these people are, it seems constantly revealing themselves in lit tie movements of the hands. The i'm mortal Mulvaney has put it on record that woman's truth or untruth car be discerned by the action of heI hands. Of course. 1t takes practicet reader to interpret what the hands are saying.

DEATH IS OVERCOME
A YOUNG RUSSIAN WOMAN MAKES STARTLING DEMONSTRATION
 BEFORE SCIENTISTS.
BRINGS A RABBIT BACK TO LIFE
or. Louisa G. Robinovitch Has Per. fected an Electrical Apparatus Whose Work in the Hands of Its In. ventor Startled New York.

New York, Nov. 20.-Dr. Louise G. Robinovitch, the young Russian woman who came here from France recently and startled medical men of this city with her declaration that she had found way to bring the dead to life. demonstrated to scientific and critical officers of the New York Edi- son company that she can perform wonders with the electric apparatus that she has perfected.
 In the opinion of those who saw the demonstration. Dr. Robinovitch put a rabbit to death by electricity and brought it to life again by rythmic electric excitations that caused It's heart and respiratory organs to re- sume their functions. She also show ed the advantages of electricity as an anaesthetic. The officials of the electric company considered the re- suits most Important, because they suggested a method of resuscitating those employees who from time to time are shocked in the course of their duties in power houses and elsewhere
 What the young woman was able to do with rabbit she says is possible with human being as a subject. he rabbit, however, was the only visitor who submitted to test A few min utes after 1t had been pronounced dead by competent physicians, it was breathing naturally again, and, hall an hour after the shock, it was hop ping around the room, little dazed but very much alive. Later the demonstrator showed how rabbit could be anaesthetized by electricity and not suffer bad effects afterwards, 10 say nothing of the risk of death that always accompanies the use of chloroform and ether,
 The killing of the rabbit, of course, was a very easy matter. Electrical contracts were made at the head, tho heart and the base of the spine, the current was turned on and at the end of one minute the physicians said that all heart and respiratory action had ceased. At this point the resuscitating apparatus-a simple looking con triyance-was drought into play. By means of switch Dr. Robinovitch threw the electric current back Into the rabbits body again. connections being made with point over the heart and at the base of the spine. By turning on the current sharply and then turning it off again and by keep ing up the action steadily the muscles of the heart and lungs responded to the artificial excitation.

Duties of oIdtIm. carxsrs.

At the formal banquet of the six teenth century the man who carved the meat was bound with the red tape of precedent. When carving for dis tinguished guests he had to remember that certain parts of the birds or meat must be set aside. In carving for his lord and lady he was expected to ex- ercise great discretion in the size of the pieces he sent around, for ladies will be soon angry and their thoughts soon changed. and some lords are soon pleased and some not, as they be of complexion" He was expected to have the rules both of the kitchen and the peerage at his knifes end A pike. for instance, must be dished uI whole for lord. and in slices for commoner folk. The rank of his di ners, too, determined whether pig was to be served up whole, sliced plain or with gold leaf or whether new bread or bread three days oid should be eaten.

ARD LOT OF M0UNTAINEER.
On Land So Poor That the Easiest Kind of Crop to Raise Was
 Beyond Him.

It was on lonely road in the noun tains. A weary rider was slowly mak Ing his way up the steep mountainside pausing now and then to rise in hin stirrups and look about in search o' some sign of civilization. Suddenly n turn in the road brought him face to face with a lank, sallowfaced noun. taineer. seated upon the top rail of tho snake fence which bounded a poor little farm which had found lodgment on the mountainside.
 The rider paused. Gan you tell me how far 1t is to Big Stone gap?" he in quired.
 The mountaineer's lips moved in an swer, but no sound reached the riders ears. He moved over nearer to the fence and repeated the question. This lime he could barely distinguish a whispered word or two in the farmers answer
 Whats the matter with you?" he in 1uired, dismounting and walking over 10 the fence where the old man sat. Cant you talk?"
 The old man looked pityingly at his questioner for a moment. and then, climbing down from his seat on the rail, he walked up to the traveller. and. putting his grizzled face close to his ear, whispered. hoarsely:
 "Yis, I kin talk. but the fact Is, stranger. land Is so poor in these parts that kain't even raise my voice"

OURSELVES AND OTHER FOLKS
Dissertation on the Subject of Man
 ners and Mannerisms.

A manner is a mode of action. and every human being las one of his very own, from which nobody may sep arate him If he possess more than one, he has manners, which is a diff 'erent proposition altogether, setting him aside into class all by himself and uniting him to mix comfortably with nine and one-half tenths of the people he meets.
 Manners are divided into two kinds good and bad manners: the former being almost obsolete, and the latter being often mistaken for no manners at all. It is troublesome to keep UT manners as a constant thing-eysI bad ones--therefore, most people now. adays find 1t more convenient to havs no manners at all, although, as stated above, each one necessarily has a man ner of his own.
 It used to be considered wise to leach manners to the young, good manners being always selected for that purpose; but other topics have crowded this old fashioned branch from the curriculum, and the children of the present generation are spared the humiliation of being thus made different from those about them.
 A mannerism is a manner that is peculiar; and while most of us are ig norant of possessing any ourselves, we take the keenest interest in those of our nelghbors.
 Even though a person has a manner and several mannerisms he does not necessarily have manners: but we can always discover whether he has or not by close observation of his manner and his mannerisms.
 If one becomes addicted to a man. nerlsm he is said to be a mannerist, but if one cultivates the habit of good and polished manners he Is spoken of as mannerly.
