CHARACTER OF TIE CAMEL.
1t is the most gentle animal in cxisteuce,
and the most submissive. 1t is stubborn, it
is true, but not so much so as the mule, and
it is easily and quickly corrected. 1t is so
patient, that it will proceed with its load
until totally exhausted, and then it falls
never again to rise. During Il military ex-
petition Of the French in Algeria, in the
month of April, 1914, it was astonishing to
see their camcIs, although reduced to skec-
tons, making forced marches with their
loads. Mules, in their condition, could not
have carried even their saddles.
