i THE paMnt camel. ' *
An English Correspondent Who Does Not
Tako Much Stock In the Beast.
The camel, bo it at 'once said, is
an overrated beast. There is a groat
deal of him, but ho is not for his
size nearly so strong as the useful,
unpretentious donkey. Then, too,
bis anatomy is so strangely con
ceived. His logs are attached to his
great unwieldy carcass with seem
ingly so little consideration for the
uses to which, merely viewed as
legs, bo might bo expected to put
them. And bis neck and tail are so
obviously disproportionate to the
rest of him, and both so useless,
that one cannot avoid the thought
that the camel is somehow incom
plete, or, owing to some mistake,
was never finished off at all.
Even the qualities ho possesses
tend to strengthen one in this be
wildering suspicion. For instance,
he can kick himself violently in the
—let us say the front of the back
with his foreleg. Ho does it con
stantly. Time and again have I de
voted long hours—fruitlessly, I must
admit—to an attempt to win the con
fidence of my favorite camel—my
favorite bocause ho is less cruel to
mo than the others. I have wooed
him with the soft notes of my kour
bash ; I have tempted him with the
thorniest of mimosa branches; I
have puffed tobacco smoko in his
supercilious nostrils—and then, just
as I have fancied I saw the light of
sympathy dawning in his long lash
ed eye ho has risen all of one move
ment to his feet, grinned at me in a
frightful manner, disclosing a forost
of green and broken teeth and gaz
ing at me full with more vindictive
contempt than I have ever marked
in any human eye; has kicked him
self violently in the stomach and
lain down again, as if he would say,
“Now, go away and don’t bother,
like a good hoy. ’ ’
; Then ho can gnaw his own tail—
his absurd useless little rag of a tail,
that isn’t even worth biting. But
is that an object worth living for?
Or, again, he has, to be sure, seven
stomachs,, of which, vain beast, he
is so inordinately proud—as though
ho had anything to do with it—that
he is constantly fetching up one of
them to show you and blows it out
from his groat, ugly throat in a
horrid, glittering, transparent bulb
for you to admire. A more nauseat
ing practice could hardly be con
ceived, but the low brute will do it.
One accomplishment, indeed, I can
give him credit for. He can flick a
By from the top of his head with his
hind toe. Now, this in the ago we
live in might, were ho a luckier beast
and tho rest of his bulk conducive,
bavo served him in good stead. But,
as things are, I fear he will make
nothing of it. His shape is fatally
against him, and he will never be
come fashionable as a step dancer.
But, with all his faults, defects and
disabilities, tho camel has, so far as
this country is concerned, not yet
boen superseded by any more prac
tical invention, and, despite tho fact
that his temper is bad, his appetite
vast and sordid, his capacity for
prolongod existence without water
—a giddy fiction—his carrying ca
pabilities mean and his locomotive
powers exasperatingly meager, yet
bo is all we have, and on him we
must largely depend throughout this
Dongola expedition. Dr. Conan
Doylo, who is ono of our party, be
lieves, af tor a week or so of acquaint
ance with him, that ho has discov
ered in his riding camel great deli
cacy of sentiment and much dignity
of demeanor. But then Dr. Conan
Doylo is a man of so wide a charity
that ho actually believes in and
even admires—well, no, I "will not
gay who it is. Let every one guos3
- for himself. But if that person, why
not the camel? Why not, indeed?
Perhaps I may have some day some
thing pleasant to say about my cam.
els. Time must decide. Is it a long
lived beast, I wonder? —Sudan Cor.

What Newspapers Do.
The newspapers really cover a
wider range, rolato the daily his
tory of more countries, make per
sonages much more visible and not
infrequently narrate stirring inci-
Sents in a stylo which makes them
as exciting as any adventures either
in the historic pastor in fiction. The
surface of the world is spread out
before the readers of a wealthy news
paper like a great jtenorama, with
the advantage that all the person
ages upon it are soen, ns in some of
the newest photographs, in actual
and continuous motion. The world
la reduced to a stage, and the ob
server is positively fascinated by the
drama going cu, which, being well
“rendered,” is so attractive that
not a few of the spectators become
Btagestruck.—London Spectator.

He had proposed and been reject
ed. “Very well,” he said coldly,
“there will come a time when your
treatment cf me will be regretted.
“I shall never regret it, she re

“Oh, I don’t mean you,” he mur
mured hoarsely. “I refer to the
man you finally accept.”—Philadel

The Feigning of Death by Animals.
The habit of feigning death for
| the sake of protection can bo observ-
I ed among many of tho lower ani
| mals—animals which differ widely
in family, genus and species. In
deed, this habit is to be observed in
creatures microscopic in sizo and of
exceedingly low organization, as
well as in those as high in tho scale
of animal life as man himself, for
even man does not hesitate on occa
sions to avail himself cf this natu
ral subterfuge when ho thinks it will
aid in tho preservation of his life.
With the aid of tho microscope
one can observe and study tho nat
ural history of the minute animal
world, which otherwise would re
main a closed and unread volume.
This instrument has shown mo be
yond cavil that creatures as low in
tho scale as aotinophryans, very
minute, microscopic
practice death feigning when sur
prised by an enemy from which
they cannot otherwise escape. Thus
I have repeatedly seen actinophry
ans fold their delicate, liairlike logs
or cilia and sink to tlio bottom of
their miniature lake (a drop of wa
ter) when approached by a water
louse, which preys upon them. They
remain to all appearances absolutely
without life until tho water louso
swims away, when they unfold their
cilia and go back to their feeding
grounds—a bit of water weed Or moss
or decayed wood.—James Weir in
Lippincott’s.
Solemn Exercises Interrupted.
“They tell a good story of General
John C. Black, formerly commis
sioner of pensions, out in Danville,
Ills., where ho lives,” said A. D.
Matlock of Springfield. “General
Black is a very eloquent speaker
and has few’ equals beforo a jury.
Judgo Emerson of Decatur, while
not possessed of a national reputa
tion, as is General Black, is famous
as an orator in Illinois. They were
on opposite sides of a lawsuit re
cently. There were many pathetic
circumstances connected with the
case, and, in his opening speech to
tha jury, General Black made the
most of these. A solemn hush fell
over the courtroom, and tears woro
soon to stand in tho oyersof tho more
impressive jurymen. It looked as
if a verdict would be rendered for
General Black’s client without much
delay, when Ju\,lge Emerson aroso
and in slow, measured tones said,
‘Gentlemen of the jury, let us con
tinue these solemn exorcises by sing
ing the one hundred and fifteenth
psalm. ’ Tho tears were followed by
laughter, and tho judge won tho
case.” —Washington -Star.
From London Dridgo la a Sack.
Somo years ago a porter named
j Fuller employed at Billingsgate
market, London, made a bet that ho
would jump from London bridge
tied up in a sack, his only stipula
tion being that ho should bo pro
vided with a knife—which ho was
not to open till ho touched the wa
ter—with which to rip open tho sack.
He succeeded in accomplishing tho
feat, and when picked up by some
frionds in a boat was pone the worso
for bis dive, /
