cred his forehead with his hands; and struggled
evidently with strong emotion. "But," added

head of my cavalry, as VIC cncalnpcd on the

unacquantcd with the forms of state, they
broke loose and gallopcd up to the procession.
This produced cry Of horror from the attcn-
dants and the startled camcls ran away with

ton; but his eye was instantly struck by the
coarscncss of the national contrivancc. lie
found five hundred women doing with the old
hand mill less work than with little ingenuity
might be done with n hundrcth part of the
labor and the time. "With wind, canvass and
wood any thing" said he, "may be DONE"
His invention was instantly active, and in
few days he gave model for the construction
of mill, which worked wonders. The wo-
mon were delighted to get rid of the trouble;
the Shcik was delighted to cat bread which
