JACK RABBITS A NUISANCE
California Ranchmen In Despair Over
the Depredations of the
Small Animals.
Jack rabbits are said to be so nu
merous in the Antelope valley of
California that the ranchmen are
in despair. The animals are becom
ing so fierce that they are actually
breaking down the fences around
the adjacent fields and eating crops
down to the roots. Not content with
this, they are swarming into the
desert towns and invading the front
yards of the dwellers. The citizens
of Lancaster turned out recently
and made a roundup. They put a
fence across the road between fences
surrounding fields on either side,
and in a short time drove in and
killed with clubs over 500 jack rab
bits. The people of the valley are
considering the advisability of invit
ing Los Angeles to join in a general
slaughter. They think several hun
dred men and boys, on horseback,
might be able to kill 40,000 of the
pesky cottontails.
BLIND MIGRATORY FISH.
Few anglers are aware of the not
inconsiderable number of sea trout
and salmon that are totally blind,
says a writer in The Field. It is no
rare occurrence for the bailiff when
stepping into the coop box to find
that all the fish do not frantically
scatter about his feet. There are
salmon and sea trout which lie per
fectly quiet until touched. These
when examined are found to have
growing over their eyes a scaly cov
ering like the shell of a pea that
has been boiled.
There can be no doubt that the
fish which have their eyes complete
ly enveloped by this shell are totally
blind. There are this season on the
Cumberland Derwent a larger pro
portion than usual of fish so afflict
ed. Blindness in sea trout and sal
mon no doubt partly accounts for
long sojourns in particular places.
WOMEN IN BUSINES8.
According to the latest report*
there are but two professions that
the persistent American woman has
failed to enter. She has not as yet
got in the marine corps or the rank
of sailors, nor are there any female
telephone or telegraph linemen.
There are said to be 1,041 women
architects, 3,373 clergymen, 786
dentists, 409 electricians, 84 engin
eers, 2,196 journalists, 1,010 law
yers, 327,614 teachers, 74,813 book
keepers, 85,246 clerks, 946 commer
cial travelers, 1,207 officials in
banks, 3,433 manufacturers, 19,998
packers and shippers, 86,118 stenog
raphers, 22,556 telegraph operators,
323 undertakers, 545 carpenters, 167
masons, 1,750 painters and glaziers,
126 plumbers, 1,309 miners and 133
blacksmiths.
IF I WERE A MAN.
Mme. Albani, the famous singer,
has published an article entitled “If
I Were a Man,” in a Berlin journal.
In it she says:
“If I were a man I would rarely,
perhaps never, become annoyed over
a trifle. I could not scold if, for
instance, a dish were served not
quite as I was accustomed. I would
not allow my temper to be spoilt for
the rest of the day because 1 had to
exercise a little patience. I would
not behave like an angry child be
cause a window was shut that I
wished to have open. I would not
work myself up into a nervous con
dition because for the moment every
thing had not gone exactly right.”
MIGHT BE WORSE.
Together they were seated on the
shifting sands by the sad sea waves
—his arm about her waist.
“Do you like this place?” he
asked.
“Well, I can’t say that I am stuck
on the place,” she replied, as she
nestled a little closer to his person,
“but I certainly do enjoy the sur
roundings.”
Whereupon he proceeded to ex
pand her enjoyment by slightly con
tracting the surroundings.
FAMILIAR EXPRESSION.
The ferry across the Styx was
crowded to suffocation.
“By jinks!” whispered a new ar
rival, “I believe at one time old
Charon must have been a conductor
on a street ear.”
“What gave you that idea ?” asked
another shade.
“Why, I just heard him say:
‘Step lively, please, there is plenty
of room up front!' ”

Crown Prince of Germany, Like Bla
marck, Wanted Hit Vacation
Undisturbed.
The crown prince of Germany,
the kaiser's eldest son, who sent
back some dispatches to his officials
with a very blunt remark upon the
outside of the wrappings, is not the
first German celebrity to express his
ieelings in that way when taking
a vacation. It was Bismarck who
established that precedent. He was
on leave and spending a few days
in a quiet retreat of his own, when
one day a messenger brought to him
some dispatches marked “urgent,”
and which the messenger said were
so important as to warrant his in
terruption of the great man’s holi
day. This message lie bore from the
chief department of state. Bismarck,
without opening the package, wrote
across it: “You can send those docu
ments to the devil; he never takes
a holiday; I do.” And the messenger
carried the unopened package back
with him to Berlin. It is said that
when the kaiser heard of it he re
marked : “AJi, Bismarck has greater
privileges fiian I.”
DOES YOUR SPINE SHIVERf
“A shivering spine,” said a
psychologist, “is the one infallible
proof of an artistic temperament.
Does a shiver run up and down
your spine when you listen to beau
tiful music, or read a loveh poem,
or look at a superb painting? If
not, the gates of art are closed to
you forever.
“All great artists and all good
critics experience this shivering sen
sation of the backbone before a wor
thy work of art. Some of these men
use the shiver as a measure; the
work that does not evoke it they pro
nounce a failure. Mr own spine
shivers best to music. The violin so
lo that precedes the last act of Mas
senet’s ‘Thais’ sets up in me a trem
olo movement that wrinkles the back
of my coat.”
8EN8ITIVE PLANTS.
A large number of species of
plan Is have become sensitive to the
tomb or blow of a solid object in a
manner broadly analogous to the
touch reactions of animals. One
form of this read ion is exhibited by
plants which climb by the aid of
tendrils. Tendrils are usually long,
slender organs sensitive on one sur
face only, although in some species
the percipient cells cover the entire
surface. When one of these organs
comes into contact with a solid ob
ject the outer sensitive cells are stim
ulated and communicate an impulse
to cells not- far distant and curva
ture ensues within a second, or a few
seconds at most, which usually re
sults in curling the organ around the
object.
A MAMMOTH CUCUMBER.
Androscoggin county need not go
to putting on airs over its big cu
cumbers, for Kennebec is something
in that line. The Boston Post re
cently had the story of Auburn’s
prize cucumber, even publishing a
picture of its owner holding it in
his arms. It was a fairly sizable
cucumber, 131/. inches long, 10 inch
es in circumference and weighing
exactly three pounds. But here in
the Kennebec Journal office we have
a cucumber from the garden of
George W. Vickery of this city
which beats it. Our cucumber is
1314 inches long, 12 inches in cir
cumference and weighs three pounds
and two ounces.—Kennebec Journal.
THE OLD JOKE REVISED.
There was a rap on his lordship’s
door.
“My lord,” announced the servant
with a low bow, “the airship awaits
without.”
“Without what, James?” queried
his lordship as he lit another cigar
ette.
“Without wings, without gasoline,
without ropes and without propeller.
We have just been in a collision.”
And with an impatient wave of
his hand his lordship ordered the
airship taken around to the airsmith
without delay.
TRUE SYMPATHY.

Oldun—Yes.
Yunger—And I have never ceased

Oldum—Let us sympathize with
each other, mv boy.
Yunger—With each other?
Oldun—Yes; 1 married her moth
er.—Chicago News.
