Tears ago the rats so bothered the planters In the lesser Antilles that they Imported snakes to get rid of the pe' Instead of borrowing a respectable uid harmless snake, like the small boa of Porto Rico, or possibly our own black snake and garter, If they would live In the tropics, the fatuous farmers carried the fer de lance to the Islands. The for de lance ate the rats, but Incidentally it tnultfplled beyond all reason and became a terror to the Inhabitants. For It is the meanest and most poisonous of serpents, as desdly as a rattlesnake, far quicker and more silent; it gives no warning, and it colls about the branches of trees, strik ing invaders of the forest from that van tage. After the Inhabitants had begun to die of snake stings, the people who had do mesticated the fer de lance cast about for means to be rid of It, and they hit upon the mongoose. This little animal, which resembles a woodchuck, started In busily and exterminated the fer de lance, In some places, as the fer de lance has extermin ated the rats. But when the snakes were gone the mongoose Insisted on being fei. Hence be raided the hen roosts. Thereuiori the same need for getting rid of the mon goose began to be manifest that was shown In the case of the rat and the snake. So there Is a price upon the head of this helpful little creature, even in lslanda where deadly serpents still linger. 4Ciiba has tried the mon&ooBe, and with the usual results. He whs brought in, not to consume the snakes, whi -h are not so many t.or so fierce as in Martinique, but the rata, at first hand. He has done this and is doing It, but as he eats so many more hens than lesser animals the government Is offering a quarter of a dollar a head for the mongoose, and thrifty peasant are considering the ad visability of raising him. In cages, for the appropriation. All of which seems to Justify the asser tion that It Is better to endure the evils that we are used to than to fly to others that we know not of. We used to be postered with canker worms, that drip pel upon our hats from the shade trees in spring. We Imported house sparrows from England to eat the worms. They ats them, and now we are looking around for something that will eat the sparrows the noisest, dirtiest, most rambunctious creatures that wear feathers. We might enlarge upon this theme and hint that In the world of art and society and poli tics we frequently make reforms so much worse than the evils to be reformed that the public insist on going back to Its old ways, and does It with cheery vivacity -Brooklyn Eagle, I10RK0RS0F DEAD MAS' S HOLE Netgvla Doidrt Adl. XLi.t Victims o Its Long Dei 'u Roll LURED TO THEIR OjuM IN ALKALI BEDS Fire Huadred 4 lcilus Brored la the Last Tea ears Stories ol a Hegiloa W here Thirst KlUs. A dispatch from Las Vegas, Nev.. lsat week told how thirty men perished amid the cactus thorns and alkali beds that sur round Dead Man's Hole. They were found by surveyors of the railroad company which is penetrating the Nevada desert In the construction of a direct route between Los Angeles, Cel., and Salt Luke City, Utah. The victims were supposed to have been tramps who had ventured across the desert from one mining camp to another and who had either perished from lack of water or were overwhelmed by a sandstorm. Th bodies were found In groups of four or six lying near one another. They had been torn by th coyote and buzzards, which are among the few forms of life able to In habit such a wilderness. In the winter time the deserts of the far west are more likely to lure the Isnorant easterner to hi death than In th burning summer months. Travelers tell how th cold night of the desert quickens the nerves as though It were pure ozone. It beguiles one Into thinking he can cover the most formidable distances with the greatest ease. The stars In such an atmosphere seem to crowd nearer the earth. They shine with a new brilliancy. Distant mountains when Illuminated by the moon deceive the eye Into believing they can echo a whisper. In such an sir the stranger plans too Ions; Journey for the provisions and the water he takes, nnd when the sun comes tip, and the heat Increases, and his thirst grows fiercer, and the water dwindles In the bot tle, and the oasts ahead proves only a mirage, then his strength leaves him as quickly and mysteriously as It camt. Fearful Heat in gammer. Under the summer sun, however, the cruelty of the desert becomes most fearful. In the narrow southern end of Nevada, where the thirty bodies were found re cently, the temperature has been known to reach 150 degree In the sun. Travelers ay that nowhere In the Sahara, desert of Africa or the Arabian or Indian deserts of Asia do. the rays of the sun beat with a more deadly fervor than on the sands of Nevada desert. On a day In June last year the heat of the direct rays of the un near Dead Man's Well reached 130 de gree at I a. m.. 146 at 10 a. m. and 160 at 1 p. m. By 6 In the afternoon the mer cury had fallen to 130 and by midnight It had shrunk to 70. According to figure prepared by Prof. Mark W. Harrington, who was formerly chief of the Weather bureau, the hottest deserts of th world ar ranked In the following order: DegTees In th shade. Nevada desert 128 0 Rajpnbtana desert, India 123.1 Jacababad, Slnde India 122.2 Death Valley, California 122.0 Oardala. Algerian Sahara 118.4 Unless the body of an animal throw eft a grea't amount of moisture In such a heat the blood soon rises to a fever tem perature. In the case of man the mind becomes madly delirious and death soon follows. Even on the warmest days of winter on the Nevada desert or In Death Valley a man will die who I without water from sunrlss to sunset. Evaporation from hi pore in summer weather I so great that even If he lies still he must drink eight quart In a day and night to quench th Incessant parching of his throat Should he exert himself he finds It neces sary to drink ten or even twelve quarts. Horse that ar driven only at night time get twenty gallons of water In twenty-four hours. On the Atlantic coast uch a man at work would drink one-fourth a much and a horse one-third. So dry Is the air and so eagerly does It absorb moisture on the Nevada desert that a tin pan filled with an Inch and a quarter of water at night I found perfectly dry the next afternoon. Meager Rainfall. A country where less than ten Inches of rala fall In a year Is regarded as a desert. Because of the barriers of the Rocky moun tain on the east and the Sierra Nevada on the west almost all of Nevada, western Utah, western Arizona and southern Cali fornia obtain considerably less than this quota of water, and In certain region near the canyon of the Colorado river less than two Inchea fall. Other regions of the world which nature has slighted to an equal de gree yr. to be found In northern Africa, Wa, florth western India, Tibet, western China a.id :etml Australia, Here only those forms of life which can economize moisture best escape death. Here grow the leafless cactus and certain stunted plants whose sap Is a gum. Here dwell the coyote of the new and the Jackal of the old world cadaverous creatures which can travel great distances with marvelous rapidity, and thus roam from one oasis to another, preying upon the weaker and more tender forms of llfo that perish on the waste of sand between. Most fearful of all the perils of the desert is the sandstorm. When It descends upon the traveler hln journey for the time, at laaat, I at an end. In the sweep of the wind the minute particles of sand penetrate the smallest crevices, nd often they fill the air so densely as ti suffocate a vlotlm. Tho llrst appearance of the storm In th sky Is a yellow haze on the horizon. With great rapidity the haze grows 'into a fog and the fog thickens Into what seem a flying mountain. Noon turns to midnight, and th sand beat down upon the plain with the roar of continuous thunder. Cap tain D. D. Gaillurd, commanding a corps of engineers of the United States army, was overtaken in such an American sirocco near the Colorado river, and in describing his experience In the Cosmopolitan Magazine he writes: ' Terror of the Saad Storm. "In less than a quarter of an hour it grew black aa midnight; respiration became dim cult and suffocation was threatened from the grtat quantity of sand and dust un avoidably Inhaled with every breath. It was only by holding a handkerchief In front of the mouth and breathing through It that this clanger was averted. In about half an hour after the storm commenced the wind began gradually to sulfide snd the darkness to diminish, and In a little over two hours from ths time the storm broke the faint lays of th setting sun nets struggling through the cloud of dust which still filled the air." Captain Qalllard also tell of sandstorms which last from sunrise to sunset, and say they are especially frequent In the western half of the Nevada desert. Including the southern part of the state of Nevada, wast ern Arizona and Bouthern California. At the eastern end of Ban Gorgoulo Pssa ths telegraph poles are sometimes cut down by the constant pelting of sand, snd the western window of bouse ar mad opaque like ground glass. To one Journey ing through the Nevada desert msny are the reminders of the terrible fate of other who have gone before. Either their bone 11 bleached upon the sands or kind hands liava covered them with alkali soli and marked the snot with a cross of stones. Before the days of transcontinental rail roads many seekers after gold died on th treeless wast between the Rokle and the Bierras. Hundreds perished in Death val- ley u in aouuieaaiern part or California when they thought he had almost reached the Eldorado of their destination. In Sin Jose, Cel., there lived until recently se v eral members of a psrty which wns alleged to have killed and esten one of their com. panlons In Death ralley. Tho rtevll'a Road. In the Nevada desert Is one trail known as the "El Camlno del Dl blo." or "The Devil's Road." Along this route the oae are neerly fifty miles apart. At one oast, called La Trujas Alias, there ar two rock basins, one at the foot 'and th other half way up the mountain. Fifty graves near by tell of victims who have perished almost In sight of the water. In times of special drouth the Inwer bowl is drained dry, and many traveller hnv died In vainly trying to reach the upper basin. According to Captain Gnlllard 40 have died along this trail In the last eight years. Not far distant one may find a rude cross upon the ground made of whitened stones where lie the bones of a family of elsht. The slnss demllrthn which contained their last draught of water fell and broke a few miles from the basins. The husband crawled on a little further In search of water, but died before he reached the pools. Travelers found the bones of his family and th broken demi john years afterward. The agonle of thirst can only be de scribed by one who ha experienced them or witnessed th sufferings of companions. W. J. Magee one made a Journey across the plateau of Utah, and after suffering excruciating tortures from lack of water he found a pool in which, he said. "I oaked an hour before a drop of water could be swallowed. Then, despite a half Inch cream of fle and wasps, I tasted ambrosia." Proa-res of m Thirst. Mr. Magee says there are nv stages In dying from thirst, and in an article In the Atluntic Monthly he wrote: "At first the mouth feels hot and dry and a tension in the throat leads to an In Voluntary swallowing motion; the voice is commonly husky, and there is a diffused sense of uneasiness, or even of Irritation, leading to querulous chatter and petulunt activity. I "In the second stage of dryness, which might b called the first stage of thirst, the fever rises; th scant saliva and mucous spume form sluggishly on lip and . tongue and catch In the teeth, clogging ut-' terance, and catching the tongue ugalnst the roof of the mouth.

The Knights of Columbus are growing rapidly In numbers In Omaha and the west. In Nebraska, councils are In a fiofii Ishlng condition In Omaha snd Lincoln. Three mors councils will be Instituted In as msny localities In the state during the spring or early summer months. A statement of the principles and purposes of the rrgan Izntlon, recently made In a sermon by Rev. Father Ptrltch of Crelghton university will be of general Interest. Father Strltch ald In part: Four of the notable lines In whlch-the .Influence of the association Is especially felt we may mention here: First, their religious Influence Is the most prominent of all. It Is becoming more and more the fashion for men of wealth, ability and social position to etsnd aloof from, and either cpenly or secretly be little the practice of religion.- Too many of our conspicuous Catholics, who ought to be an example to their less favored brethren., do not escape from the effect of this growing wnrldllness or Indifference. Their lesd Is naturally followed by many other who look up to them, and the evil wa assuming larger and larger propor tions before the Order of the Knights of Columbus was Instituted. There are now about 100 pno members In the United State and they are multiplying rapidly. It Js safe to say that no Insignificant minority of this magnificent army either were not or would not now be living up to the requirements of their religion were it not for their membership In this order The scandal that would constantly arise from their neglect hss been brought to an end and every knight becomes a center of llRht and strength to others by the ex ample he sets. Not individuals merely, but families and friends and neighbor are saved to the church. We have heard It repeatedly and know It from our own ob servation, that many to whom the strong est missionary appeals were addressed In vain have been brought back to the prac tice of their religion by the Influence of this association or by membership in Its ranks. Their very attendance In a body at sacred services, not obligatory, as here tonight, Is an evidence of their practical and Inspiring devotion to the church and her teachings: and Is a splendid rebuke to the less Intelligent, who presume to think that the church has nothing to offer them. What have we to say with regard to social purity? Ar not the knight ex clusive, admitting only men prominent In professional, commercial or social circles? Are they not rather creating a sort of caste, cutting themselves oft from th great majority of their fellow Catholics? Are they r.ot a secret society who may sooner or later develop , unsocial, unpa triotic, or even Irreligious features? Such questions have occurred to the mind of Borne snd have been asked. One of the great evils among well-to-do Catholic In this country has been that they are often drawn Into exclusively, or nt least predominantly non-Cathollo so ciety, so that a decidedly uncathollc so cial tone begin to prevail among those who should be foremost In all ueh un dertakings a tend to promote the welfare of the church. They soon cease o read Cathollo paper or book. They are un willing to have their children attend Catholic school or colleges, and they neglect altogether, or perform only per functorily and spasmodically, the most se rious and obligatory duties of their relig ion. The Knight of Columbus, by bring ing prominent Catholic together, so they may enjoy the friendship and society of person on their own Intellectual level and of their own creed, save such people from drifting away, or save their faith from palling, till It la scarcely to be dis tinguished from that of those who are not members of any church or ar o only In name. We have often heard th complaint from wealthy and educated Catholics that they have no Cathollo so ciety. The Knight of Columbus ar sup plying that want In th best way. By organizing they are not cutting themselves off from their brethren, but they ar sav ing those who would gradually drift away from the church. They are creating a numerous and Intelligent social circle within th church, whose Influence will work favorably for ttie social betterment of the whole Cathollo body. Instead, therefore, of criticism or Jealousy w ought to take pride In and be loyal to the knight and their object, even In a social way. They are not exclusive. In any narrow or reprehensible sense. There Is no money line, but only a merit line of exclusion. Any man with th requisite mental and moral and religious qualifications Is not questioned to th length of hi purse when he applies for admission. Instead, then, of asking th knight to remain on our social level, let us endeavor to rise to theirs, and they will be more than willing to reach down and give us a help ing hand In the effort. A to politic, they ar rigidly excluded, and they will be affected only indirectly by a higher standard of civic virtue and moral Integrity in public life and a more disin terested devotion to the common good. These are fundamental principles with the knights and we need have no misgivings as to the likelihood of unpatriotic develop ments. The country has reason, rather, to be proud and grateful at seeing 100,000 of Its sturdy and thoughtful citizens banded together, with no other political aim or ambition than that noble one of crushing out abuses and permeating public life with the saving principles of sound morality. If the questions of secrecy and possible evolution of any scheme unfavorable to religion were seriously asked, we should seriously answer It. Another fundamental and primary prin ciple of the order Is practical loyalty to the CONI rhuich. Tiny h.ive noi unly the approval but the 1'irsslntc and encouragement of t cUe.astii'Hl nuiliiu Ities. 1 hey number It thlr membership tuuny eminent priesti and bishop. They hare undoubted! their' secrets. Rut so hat every iiv dividuil snd every lumliy and even ' combination of persons i.jn fed for anj practical purpose ha; soever. The Kntahn I haxe no secrets which thy are unwllllus ' to reveal to the proper suthorlty whenev J called upon to do so. Tht Knights taJce an uncompromising stand against the liquor traffic. They real j le and feel keenly the discredit done to the church by tho large number of Cath I olics unfortunately engaged iu this decrad i Ing business. We do not mean to asort that every man so engaKCd Is of necessity i dishonorable .r immoral or even unfaith ful to his religious duties. And et one of the greatest services that could be ren dered to Yhe church In this country and to Catholic manhood would be the withdrawal of Catholics from so unsavory an occupa tion. We know Catholics who keep saloon and who ar clear-sighted and candid enough to see this for themselves and to acknowledge Its truth. Catholics would consume much less liquor If tha saloon were not In the hands of their co-rellglon-1st. To diminish the number of our peo ple who trend their live In supplying or consuming intoxicating beverage I a great work, of which there Is a crying need. The Knight of Columbus favor this work and will use their Influence to for ward It. No saloon keeper ran be a Knight and no Intoxicating drinks ar used at any of their meetings. We do not dic tate a member's action in hi tome or elsewhere. But Instances are known where members who have given scandal by drink ing to excess have been expelled from tho order, and this mode of proceeding Is be coming a settled policy. They also favor" such legislation, and the execution of such laws already passed as are necoesary to suppress the gross and Intolerable abuse that are carried on in connection with no mall number of salcons. In this surely the Knights must meet with publlo ap proval and secure the alliance of tho bet ter classes outside the rhuroh. The spread of sound and saving Cathollo thought and Cathollo literature Is also a cherished object with the different council throughout the country. They have been exerting themselves to build and support Catholic schools and in some Instance churches where not otherwise provided. They secure Cathollo lecture courses and! get Catholic books Into our publlo libraries. They believe, or rather know, that It In certain quarters prejudices etill exist against the church It la because It spirit and work are not known. They know that they cannot render a greater service to church and state, to the Catholic and non-Catholic element of iur population, than by spreading a knowledge, of Cathollo truth. They rightly love their country and their fellow citizen of every creed, or of none, too well to be Indifferent to any thing that can be righteously used to pro mote the welfare of all a result which would be sure to poms from a better un derstanding of one another, a more gen ulno mutual respect, a cJoser friendship and co-operation In the p rsult of noble project for the good of our race. Such, In brief, we concelTe the principle and purpose of th Knight to be. Church and country must approve and bless a movement such aa their. And the Catho llo people should foel proud of the new chivalry and. like their forefathers, labor to prepare themselves to receive worthily the high prerogative of knighthood. HAS HONEY IN HIS PANTRY Colorado Beekeeper Bo Arrange Thin that Cwe4 Are Kear at Hand. When Mr. and Mrs. 11. F. Hagen of 601 Klgh street, Denver, wish to have fresh honey on their table they simply turn on pie eleotrlo light In their pantry, mount a tepladder and from :natde a small cup board cut away great chunk of fresh comb filled with veritable nectar, so fresh and fine flavored la It- Very often th honey they out away ha been mad that day by tho thousand of bees swarming constantly In th little cupboard. Mr. Hagen I on erf th pioneer be keeper of th state. He began the be In duatry In the Arkansas valley In th early '80s. He had last year, at the corner of Fourth rnd High streets, 100 colonies and marketed nearly 4,000 pound of honey. In the meantime he built several pretty resi dences In th vicinity, among them hi own horn. H conceived the Idea of hav ing fresh honey constantly within reach. 8o at th end of the pantry, on a level with th top shelves, he made a cupboard,, with a door large enough for him to reach In hi head and shoulders. Therein he placed the foundation of two hives, with some brooding wax. He did not use any wax for the honey cells, pre ferring to have the bees build their honey combs a they should wish. Two colonies of bees were Installed In the Ccpboard and two r.arrow apertures were bored In ths wall to permit th bee to go in and out at will. In ths cupboard at this time there Is at least 150 pounds of the delirious product. An artistic arrangement of the enmhs has resulted from the Indulgence of their taste In architecture. Usually bees bipln at th top and build down, but there bees hive worked up, and In two corners of the cup board rle snowy piles of wax.. The house with the beehive cupboard has attracted much attention from perron In terested In bee. During a horticultural convention recently tho visitors to th Hagen home were many, and scarcely a day passes that someone doe not call and ask permission to climb up tho little ladder and Inspect the bees and their work.
