The Camel's Revenge.

A few years ago 1t chanced that o valua-
bic camel, working an oil mill in Africa,
was severely beiten by its driver, who. per-
ceiving that the camel had treasured up the
injury, and was waiting a favorable oppor-
tunity for revenge, kept strict watch uI on
the animal. Time passed away the camel
pcrcciviug that It was watched, was quiet
and obedient, and the driver began to think
the beating was forgotten, when one night,
after the lapse Of several months, tho man
who slept on raised platform in the mill,
whilst, rs is customary, the camel is stalled
in corner, happening to remain awake,
observed by the bright moonlight, that
when all was quiet the animal looked eau.
tiously around rose softly, and stealing to.
wards a spot where bundle Of clothes and
q bernous, thrown carelessly on tine ground,
resembling a sleeping figure, cast itself with
violence uron them, rolling with NIL its
weight, and tearing them yiciously with its
teeth. Satisfied that lis revenge was com
plrto, the camel was returning to its corner
when the driver sat up and spoke ; and a'
the sound of his voice, and percciyins the
mistake it had made, the animal was SO
mortified at the failure and discovery Of its
scheme that it dashed its head against the
wall and died on the spot.

Cheese Curd in English Diaries.

Ii is stated that the English dairy opera
tors do not, as general thing, scald their
curd, and hence much more care Is needed
in salting and pressing than in the process
generally adopted by intelligent cheese-ma'
kcrs in this country. In Cheshire, alter the
curd is separated from the whey, it is put
under hand-press for an hour or two, and
as much of the whey expressed from 1t as
possible previous to salting. When taken
from under the hand-Tress, it is broken quite
fine by the hand, and saltcd. Ii is then put
in the cheese hoop, and pressed slightly Tor
six or eight hours. Ii is then taken from
under the press, pierced with q wooden
skewer, in order to open channels for the
exudation of the whey, covered with clean
cloth, and put under heavy pressure till
the next morning, when clean cloth Is
again put round it, and heavy pressure
applied till it will no longer wet the cloth.
Cheeses are frequently kept under the pres
three or four days. "Scalding" expels the
whey from the curd more eiiectually than
can be done by the most powerful and long
continued pressure, but it is question
whether 1t does no. de.eriorite the flavor OF
the cheese.

MES WITH TAILS. All the scientific re-
search bestowed on Africa fails to confirm
the reported existence ofa eandated race Of
negroes In the interior Of Africa. Mr.. T.
j. Bowen, who spent several years In the
interior Of Central Africa, us Missionary
Of tho Southern Baptist Board, makes the
following reference to the subject In his re.
Gently published narrative. In speaking Of
Nasamu, the executioncr Of the King Of Ii.

habi.ants, and Others with whom he con.
versed, he says:
"The MooB and Arabs, who have been
everywhere, had told them wonderful sto.
rics OF still other other countries and tribes
Far of in the Fast. Somewhere on the other
side Of Yakouba is tribe Of people called
Alakerc, none of whom are more than
three feet in height. The chiefs are lit
tie taller than the common people. Tho
Alakcrc are very ingenious people, especial.
ly in working iron, and they are 30 indus
trious that their towns are surrounded by
iron walls. Beyond these are tribe called
Alabiru, who have short inacxible tails.
IA the stiffness Of their tails prevents the AL.
abiru from sitting fiat on the ground, every
man carries sharp pointed stick with
which he drills hole in the earth to re-
ceivc his tail while sitting. They are In
dustrious manufacturers Of iron bars, which
they sell to surrounding tribes. All tho
fine swords in Sudan are made Of this iron.
The next tripc in order are tho Alabiwos,
who have q small goatlikc horn projecting
from the middle Of their forehead. For all
that, they are nice kind Of black people,
and quite intelligent. A woman OF this tribe
is now in slvcry at Oa anear Illorrin. Sheal-
ways wears handkerchief around her
head, because she Is ashamed Of horn.

The above pithy expression is no less cor
rect than the many proverbs in our language
which take their date from the time whereof
the memory of man runncth not To the con-
trary. but which, unfortunately, are too IA
miliar TO meet the attention due TO their in

experience has convinced me that hay can be
made only when the sun shines, and that,
however beautiful their theory, and however
excellent their plans may appear on paper
those writers who advocate any other mode
of curing hay have not submitted their prin-
ciples to the test Of experience, and judge
too entirely from superficial view OF the
subject. Ny practice has ever been during
summer. to have my men employed by or
before the rising of the sun. but ON no ac-
count would permit one OF them to use his
scythe. \ part of my men unloaded the
hay left in the carts the preceding evening,
and the others ground scythes, and prepared
for the labors of the day. The stock are
cared for, and all arrangements so made that
no hndrance might occur after oil hands
