MOUNT SHASTA.
w•r••••••••.....
laclian Legend of the Sierra
Nevadas.
In the range of the Sierra, Nevada,
Mountairie in California, there riBee
to the height of 14,440 feet Mount
'Shasta. It le the eeat of a volcano
and its euunnit and :sides are covered
with snow and ice. To the Indians of
California Mount Shaste Wee the
home of the all -reigning Spirit, and
they tell the following legend of how
Mount Shasta mine to be:
In the long ago the Great Spirit that
created all tillage threw a rock down
through the "floor of heaven. Lower
and lower it came, till it filially reach-
ed a spot in the air where it stopped
and remained Integing Atilt in the air.
On top of this rock Manitou now cast
down, many more rocks, an dearth aud
now and lee till the whple pile reach-
ed nearly up to the skies. Thus it
was that Mount Ithesta was first
made, '
Down from the heaven then eame
the Great Spirit himself and from that
epot built the reet of the earth; ita
vane" its mountains, its etreame and
seas. Then Ile caused forests to
grow, flowers and grasses to spring
into being, and made beasts to roam
over the plains and fishes to Mini
through the waters. Beautiful birds,
too, He created by blowing Hie own
breath upon the green leaves, and
then tossing them up into the air.
Now the earth was beautiful be-
yond description, and the Great Spirit,
motioned and delighted with His
work, decided to come down from
heaven and live upon this new earth.,
He made his wigwam by hollowing
out the top of Mount Shasta, and there
from its summit was to be seen the
smoke tb.at lamed from Hie fireside,
With the coming of the white man

Salt for Roads.
In. France it has been the custom, at
the beginning of euustner, to tar the
roads in and, about the tewns, in order
to abate the dust nuisance. It has
been found,.however, that tar, although
excellent in the case of macadamized
• roads, is of' little or no value where
tramways exist and paved street cross.
'lugs iutersect the roads in various direc-
tions. The tarring cannot be carried out
on stones.
Basing their adieu on the well-known
hygrometrical properties of common
salt, the authoritiee have made a test
of its value in laying the duet. Twenty
yards of roadway have beets sprinkled
liberally with ealt and then watered
freely. It the results are satisfactory,
salt will he used throughout the towu
of Havre, it being impossible to tar the
majority of the streets, since they are
paved with rouelt *thine blocks.—Har-

RABBIT DEVELOPED NEW NAIL
About forty-five years ago three pairs
of enterprising rabbits were introduced
into Australia. To -day the increase of
these six immigrants may be counted by
millions. They become a pest to the
country. Fortunes have been epent to
exterminate. them. Wind fences many
feet high and thousands of miles Jong
have aeen built to hen out the invaders.
The rabbits had to fight awful odds
to live, but they have now outwitted
man, They have developed a haw nail
—a long nall by which they reel retain
their hold on the fence while climbing.
With this same nail they can burrow six
or eight inches under the netting and
talus enter the fidlds that means lire and
death to teem. They aro now laughing
at man. Reserve power has vitalized
for these rabbits latent possibilities, be-
cause they tamely did not, accept their
condition, but in the struggle to live
learned how to live.—Animans Friend,
