Cameis Of the Desert.


The immense deserts which intervene
between Lower Egypt and the Soudan
provinces would be impossible in the
absence of the camel. Nature has pro-
vided animals for almost all the con-
ditions of the earths surface, from the
Arctic regions, inhabited by the walrus
and the seal, to the barren sands of
Africa that scorch beneath a burning
sun. In the summer months, from early
March I'LL the beginning of November,
the camel will travel through the desert
with a load of four hundred pounds,
and require water every third day. 1t
viii accordingly, complete ninety miles
without drinking on the road. This
would be journey OF perfect ease. In
cases of necessity the same animal
would march 100 miles without much
suffering, and drink only IN the even
ing of the fourth day; but in the cooler
months the camel will work for seven
or eight days without requiring water.
During the cool season, in the neigh
borhood of the Blue Nile and Athara,
where green foliage is plentiful, the
cameis that are simply grazing without
performing labor would drink only
OICC % IOl luI9 ~. LIS JONtIIul dui-
mai will travel easily upon level
ground with load of five hundred
pounds, but in mountainous districts
it should never exceed four hundred
pounds.
Although the desert appears devoid
of sustenance, there are numerous dells
and narrow valleys which show traces
Of water action, where the unusual
phenomena of thunder storms may
have suddenly deluged a considerable
area. In such localities q scanty herb
age is exhibited of so rough nature
that no animals except the camel, wild
ASS, and the delicate gazelle would
swallow the why material, but this
coarse pasturage is sufficient for the
camels wants, and enables it to ira
verse inhospitable regions, which, with
out its aid, would be absolutely i'm
passable by man.
The breeding of camels is one of the
chief occupations of the Arab tribes,
and the special varieties can easily be
distinguished by q practiced eye. Those
of the Haddendowas, which are bred
among the mountains bordering the
Red sea, are wonderfully nimble and
sure-footed; neither do they become
footsore when travelling upon rocky
ground. The camels of the Bishareen
are small, but hardy, and are better
than the heavier and more powerful
animals for long desert Journeys during
the summer months.-.Sir Samuel Bdher

Rural Ideas OF City Philanthropy.

A lady in one of the fourishing
towns of our state had been to New
York, and on her return was describ-

metropolitan life which had impressed
themselves upon her memory. After
going through a long list of those
things likely to impress country peo-
pie. she suddenly exclaimed: '.But
there was one thing which did me
more good than anything else, because
it showed the remarkable growth of
philanthropic charity in our large cit

Advertising for a Wife.

A good story reaches US from Milan.
A young nobleman of this city, of mar
riageable age, and master of fortune
of 81, 600 a year, not long ago came tc
the conclusion that it was time for him
to look out for wife. His pursuits in
life not being of the most strenuous
character, he had leisure to combine
amusement with research. According
" he advertised his want in Milanese
newspaper, requesting that every an
swer to the advertisement might be
accompanied by the portrait of the
lady who replied. A collateral result
of this notice was that two or three of
the best Photographic artists of the
city had more work ON their hands
than they could attend to. The direct
result was sixty-fiye letters, with as
many maidenly countenances as would
furnish a good-sized album The an
swers were in some cases accompanied
by parental certificates, setting forth
in touching language the charms and
virtues of the daughters. Embarra ssed
by choice of such unexpected variety
and DESTROYS to crafty that sense of
humor which even the serious nature
of his quest could not repress, the
young man replied to each of his cor
respondents that, before coming TO
final decision, a personal. not exactly
interview, but inspection, would be OF
advantage. To each OF the ladies, of
course without the knowledge of the.
others, he sent ticket for an orchestra
stall i'll the Scala theater, announcing
that he himself would be in particular
box, the number and situation OF which
he stated. A few evenings later the
theater-ooing public of Milan were
perplexed to explain the appearance
of one of the rows of stalls in that inn
mense building. A long line of beau
ties, in toilets of extreme elegance, I'M
broken by 4 single black coat, was OBJ
served. Furtiyely, and with trepida-
ton, did each damsel from time to
time raise her opera-glass to that box
the cynosure of many bright eyes.
in which the graceful youth reposed.
Suspiciously and with darkened brow
did each damsel turn to the long file of
her neighbors and wonder at the mag
netism which drew each glass to the
central post. By and by the audience,
to whom some hint of the secret had
leaked out, began to give audible signs
that they enjoyed the joke. The spor-
adic laughter of the theater increased
the confusion of the young ladies, and
the contagion of fun turned the spora-
die mirth into a general roar. At this
point our Milanese correspondent drops
a veil over the scene, concluding his
narrative with the trumpet call,
Daughters of Eve, revenger' ques-
ton if that young man will get married
in Milan.

Cause and Effect.

The Chicago Standard says the fol-
lowing, taken from an exchange, shows
the relation between cause and effect:
Oakland, California, is certainly
most remarkable city "A city Of
churches, schools and homes; a city Of
energy, enterprise ard industry. Its
population is about forty thousand, the
result of natural, substantial and per-
manent growth. Forty churches sup
ply the religious needs Of the inhabit-
ants. Of these six are Presbyterian,
four Congregational, six Methodist,
three Baptist, five Episcopal, tour Cath
olic, one Lutheran, and the others be-
long TO various organizations. The con-
gregations are large, and II is estimated
that the church-going population Of
Ga iland Is thirty thousand people.
Three fourths of the strongest business
men are regular attendants at church.

hold on the influential classes of Oak.
land. There is n church building for
every one hundred and sixty homes,
and a clergyman for every two hundred
voters In the city. The record shows
that Oakland is the most moral city on
the Pacific coast. The church has had
a great influence on the culture, morals
and society of the city. and the people
can well afford to support liberally
everything connected with the churches.
