Tlio Silk lint Issue
The municipal council of the little
French town of Courteull Is discussing
on ordinance forbidding the wearing
of tall silk hats within Its borders
The stovepipe Is condemned In the
argument of the advocates of the ordi
nance as a ridiculous headgear which
by reason of Its costliness constitutes
a badge of social superiority and is
therefore humiliating to thoBe who
never wear it The tall hat reformers
declare Is used only by artisocrats
who live and grow fat on the sweat
of the poor
A Century Growth Illustrated
Only 100 years ago the other day
the Thames saw a curious little scene
which the newspapers reported as fol
lows An experiment took place on
the river Thames for the purpose of
working a barge or any other heavy
craft against the tide by means of a
steam engine of a very simple con
struction The moment the engine
was set to work the barge was brought
about answering her helm quickly
and she made her way against a strong
current at the rate of two mties and a
half an hour
Most of us would rather watch others
than work ourselves
A man does not possess what he has
but what he Is
Time Is like a verb that can only be
9f use in the present tense

RATTLESNAKE GOING
FAMOUS AMERICAN REPTILE
WILL SOON HAVE PASSED
He la Disappearing From tlio Arizona
Frontier Some of the Enemies of tlie
Battler Prospector Experience In
a Three Corncrod right
In a country where a quarter of a
century ago a rattlesnake was to be
found under every rock and in every
hillock the reptile is rapidly becoming
a rarity With his human relative
the Apache the rattler is disappearing
from Arizona and is now found only
in the most isolated districts To the
advance of civilization and the unre
mitting warfare of the road runner
and the king snake may be attributed
the extermination of the rattler
Wherever irrigation has found its way
the rattlesnake has been driven to
higher ground and there the prospect
or and miner have slain him whenever
and wherever found The road run
ner that long legged feathered war
rior the fighting cock of the desert
has done his part and done it well
Much resembling but more lightly con
structed than the fighting cock the
road runner is one of the most dreaded
enemies of the rattler In fact so
great are his snake killing proclivities
that heavy penalties are provided by
the territorial statutes as a protection
to him from the gun of the hunteiv
Apparently immune to the venom in
the poison sac of the rattler the road
runner attacks the largest snake with
impunity and was never known to lose
a fight Frequently indeed the road
runner has been known to battle with
and kill a pair of large diamond rat
tlers whose total weight was five
times that of his own Not so com
mon an enemy to the rattlesnake but
no less deadly is the king snake a
large species of the bull snake family
Rarely seen in the lower countries but
often found in the northern forests
and higher mountains the king snake
wages constant warfare on the rattler
and when his great lithe form coils
around the body of the rattlesnake the
life of the latter is a matter of only a
few seconds Herbert Housland a
prospector had an experience with a
rattler a king snake and a road run
ner a few days ago which he will not
soon forget He was with a party in
the Bradshaw mountains south of
Prescott and was guarding camp for
the day He had lain down to sleep
when he was suddenly aroused to find
a great rattlesnake coiled upon his
breast I almost suffocated from
fearing to breathe lest I should be bit
ten he said The snake was greatly
excited and in a minute I saw the
cause A king snake was trying to
excite the rattler to combat and my
person was the chosen battleground
The king snake had probably forced
the rattler to refuge upon my body
and following up his aggressive tactics
was running in a circle around the
rattler very rapidly He crossed my
breast from left to right and my
thighs from right to left and within
less than a foot of the rattlers body
The velocity of the snake was most
wonderful It seemed to be one con
tinuous ring and part of the time I
could seemingly see three of four rings
at once I made a slight movement
with right foot which attracted the
rattlers attention for an instant and
that was fatal to him At that one
false movement of his eyes the king
snake darted in and seized the rattler
by the throat close up to his head and
began instantly to coil around his vic
tim They rolled off me in their death
struggle and became one tangled mass
for ten minutes when the rattlers
sounds died away gradually While I
lay exhausted from my fright a road
runner darted out of a bush and grab
bing the two snakes in his beak be
gan to drag them away The weight was
too great but he killed the king snake
by a blow from his long bill and ran
away as I arose I threw the two rep
tiles into the bushes and there the
bird and his mate devoured them
How to Button a Coat
The art of properly buttoning a coat
any coat is do it the other way
That is to say that nine out of every
ten of us button our coats the wrong
way we commence with the topmost
button when we should commence
with the bottommost The frailest por
tion of a coat in respect to shape-retaining
qualities no matter how well
made is the region of collar and
lapels The swagger merchant tailor
always cautions his customer to wear
it buttoned a few days so that the col
lar may set properly Then this ad
mitted it follows that tugs and strains
affecting this part of the garment tend
to destroy its symmetry Drawing the
coat together by the topbutton and
buttonhole for the purpose of fasten
ing exerts a pull all around the shoul
ders and neck region which by repe
tition in time will give the smartest
coat a hang dog appearance Chat
