Some people imagine that the world

was simply intented for boys to amuse
themselves IN. WHO enjoys life except
the boy, it we except an occasional girl

think they do, and some really imagine,
but they are mistaken. Men work them
selves into fever of excitement over an
election. They hold mass mectin.s
and get up torchligh procession of great
length and noisy roar, but do they get
any fun out Of it? Not bit. It is the
boys on the outside who do that. Thev
are the ones who build the bonfires on
the street corners, and they do large
share OF the hurrahing. Men in pro-
cession move along as solmenly as though
they were going to their own funeral, if

Abstinence OF CameIs.

to be capable Of carrying is much exag.

could not help observing in the recent
Afghan campaign how little attention
was paid to the watering of camels, be.
cause the idea entertained was that CAM
els could go forever without drinking.
Such q false impression was fatal to the
poor animals. Camels of the Arabian
speices can take in five or six gallons OF
water, which is sufficient for their use
for about six days. The Bactrian species
can only take IN about half that quantity.
To insure the supply camel men travelling
with their own camels pour water down
the camels' throats, which the camels un-
derstand by instinct to be necessary
