The Camel'S Nose.
BY JULIA COLMAN.

~ suppose Won have heard about the
camel who wished only to oct his nose
into his masters tent, and, when he got
permission to do that, he crept in further
and further until at last he got entire pos.

heard some one say that alcoholic drinks
were like that camel with an innocent.

into all sorts of places. asking only little
room at first, hut when he once got that,
he kept taking more and more So have
kept my eyes open, and hava found this
camel's nose oh 40 manv times-in the
cider mug. and in the brandy peaches, and
, in the mince- pies, and especially about
the HOLIDAYS.
"One day. Just before last Christmas,
was looking for picture book for nv little
brother, and found one full of delightful
stories and beautiful pictures. and 80 I
took it home. No camel's nose in this. 7

with curious gilt pictures. and among
them was Old King Cole with his punch

he went off on his hunting excursions, and

after he had been TO England and gave a
feast to the people there, and furnished
plenty Of wine and brandy? Here was the
old camel head and humps. Then our
dear auntie in New York sent us a lot of
pretty little chrome cards from the Sunday
school rooms and we found that all those
pictures of New Years and Christmas
dinners had wine-bottles and glasses, or
puddings with brandy flaming over them,

The cry of "On to Richmond" awaken.
I'd no enthusiasm in the hearts of the Third
Ohio. one day when they found themselves
en- route rs prisoners Of war for that fa-
moug capital. Nor were they enthusiastic
Vhen they halted for the night and pre-
pared to sink supperless into dreamland.
The fifty. fourth Virginia regiment was
encamped near by, and some of the men
came down to have a look at the "Yanks. v
"Had your coffsep" asked on5 of blue
coat, stretched dlsconsolately on the bank
MOT sup" answered the other. "Aint
you had any rations to nightP' "Only a
crumb or two from the bottom Of our ha.
versacks." This was told to the boys OF
the fifty. fourth, and old Virginia hospitality
showed itself at once. The men soon
made their appearance with coffee kettles,
corn bread and bacon, the best they had.
In few minutes the coffee was steaming,
the bacon cooked, and prisoners and cap
tors sat down together around the camp
dre, like kinsmen true and brothers
tried" The hungry, grateful Yankees ate
with relish such as no one can appreciate
unless he has been in like situation. No
wonder there was a warm spot in every
b4alt af the third Ohio ever after for tho
generous fifty fourth. A fresh slide of the
magic lantern gives another of these shift
ing war pictures. In the distance is Mis-
sion Ridge, which has just been stormed.
That long line of prisoners passing over
the pontoon bridge and up the stony noun.
tain road is the fifty-folrth Virginia. A
soldier on duty at Kelly's Ferry asked in
differently of one of the prisoners, as the
regiment passed-"What regiment is thisP"
The fifty fourth Virginia" was the reply.
In an instant the loungers sprang to their
feet and rushed to camp. "The fifty fourth
Virginia is at the ferry" they shouted, as
they ran in and out among the tents of the
third Ohio. The Ohio boys we're quickly
in motion. Boxes from home aud all re
serve stores were speedily ransacked.
Coffee and sugar, beef and canned peaches
ana the best they had of everything were
freely brought forth. They remembered
gratefully their debt of honor, and paid it
nobly. 1t was the same old scene over
again, with the shading reversed. For
one night at least b pth confederatss and
Yankees enjoyed again the sweet grace of
hospitality that could bring smile even
TO the grim visage of war.

A GREAT ENTERPRIsE.-The tunnel be-
tween France and England has been push
ed mile under the channel from either
shore, or one-tenth of the distance. 1t
proceeds yard an hour, and Il will take
/ wo years from now to complete it. The
first bore will be between seven and nine
feet in diameter, and will have to be en-
arged for railway service. Besides the
distance Of eighteen and quarter miles as
the submarine line of the tunnel, there will
be about mile and one quarter of fgradual
descent from the surface ON either shore in
the bottom of shafts which are nearly 800
feet deep. From this depth the tunnel
will fall away at IL gentle slope, afterward
pursuing level course until point is
reached near the opposite coast, when
there will be another upward incline. The
object is to keep depth in the chalk at
no time less than 200 feet beneath the
channel bed. The entire thickness of the
chalk deposit is known to be at least 800
feet at each of the two points of departure.
There are sound geological reasons to
suppose that this thickness is maintained
through the intervening space. Up to this
time experiment sustains the theory, and
stockholders in the enterprise are delight
ed. Money is forthcoming as fast as re-
quired, and will not be denied while the
engineers reports continue as encourag-
ing as those now published.

One of the best short descriptions of the

FROST BITES AND CHILBLAINS.-Prob
bIvlo other forms of lcrhien' or injury
come uuon US so unexpectedly AS those
due TO excessive cold. As u general thing
We are not aware that part is being
tr zen until the mischief is already done.
Thls is due to the fact that one of the ef-
fect4 of severe cold is to destroy the sensi-
tveness of the parts exposed. Surgeons
make use of this fact in small operations
and cool the part by artificial cold. The
ears, the nose, sometimes the cheeks and
the hands and feet are the parts most liza
Bile to be frozen. One of the first effects
of freezing Is to stop the circulation of the
blood, and any part in which the circula-
ton is checked by other means is all the
more likely to be frozen. The old-f,tshion.
ed skates held on by numerous tight straps
across the feet, are dangerous on this ac-
count. as to keep them in place the straps
are drawn so tightly as to impede the cir
culation in the feet, and frost-bitten feet
are often the consequence Though the
operation of freezing is pain 'ess, a sudden
thawing is attended with Inflammation
and great pain. The thawing should be
very slow in order that the circulation in
the parts may be restored gradually. For
this reason it is advised to rub the frozen
parts with snow, or in the absence of that,
with water made as cold Gas possible with
ice. 1t is said that in Russia, when one
observes that another's nose or face is be-
ing frozen, it is an net of common polite
ness to catch up handful of snow and ap
ply it 10 the face of the unfortunate, even
| if he is perfect stranger. In case of Sc
we're freezing. besides gradual thawing by
the use of snow or ice, n physician should
be called. as it may be that proper precsu-
tions are needed to prevent modification
of the parts. 1t it is not necessary for the

A long period OF peace followed before the
United States was called on TO take part
in any warfare again. Steamships had
taken the place of wooden frigates and
sailing vessels. The administration, Just
before the civil war, proposed to dismantle
the old ship and break up her battle beat
en- hull. But storm of indignation arose
throughout the land, to which the govern.
ment was forced to yield. The proposal
called forth a stirring protest from Oliver
Wendell Holmes in the following poem
which has since been recited in every
school-room:
"Ay, tear her tattered ensign down
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced 10 see
That banner in the sky,
Beneath it rang the battle shout,
And burst the canpon's roar;
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more
"Her deck. once red with heroes blood
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying o'er the hood.
And waves were white below
Nomore shall feel tn victor's tread,
Or know the conquered knee;
The harpes Of the shore shall pluck
The eagle Of the sea
"Ohl better that her shattered hulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thund 9rs shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave.
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the God of storms,
The lightning and the gale!"

Heroes Of the Plains.

In American history there are no
more interesting figures than the He
roes of the border. Bold, dashing,
adventurous and patriotic; loyal to
friends, to country and to the interests
of society, their work was singularly
effective 10 the advancement of west
ern civilization. With seeming reck-
lessness, their efforts were in the inter-
est of law and order, and the people
owe them debt of gratitude they do
not forget. Their page in history is
as fascinating as it is honorable, and
there is peculiar pleasure in reading
the narrative of their wonderful ex-
ploits. Among those, whose careers
we're singularly adventurous, are Kit
Carson, Wild Bill, Buffalo Bill, Capt.
Payne, Texas Jack, California joe,
Capt. Jack and others, whose achieve
ments have made them justly and
widely famous. They have a warm
place in the hearts of the people, and
prominent one in their admiration.
1t is appropriate that their achieve
ments should be recorded, and we note
with pleasure the forthcoming Of a
new book from the press of N. ID.
Thompson & Co., New York and St.
Louis, called "The Heroes of the
Plains" covering the ground Of border
history. 1t is profusely illustrated
with 100 engravings and 16 colored
lithogiaph plates. 1t is sold by sub
scription through canyassing agents,
and presents an opportunity to agents
to make money especially inviting
