Water in the d esert.
THE Century,

1t follows naturally that when under
taking journey through the desert, the
paramount question is water A supply
must be carried sufficient to last to the
next well, be it one or five days distant
1t is usually carried in goat and OK skins
suspended from the camel's pack saddles.
These are the water bottles of Scripture,
which become leaky from wear and al
ways lose considerable portion of their
contents by evaporation. The first thing
after reaching a well is to ascertain the
quantity and quality of its water. AS to
the former it may have been exhausted by
preceding caravan, and hours may be
required for new supply to ooze in
again.
AS to the quality, desert water is always
bad, the exception being when it is worse.
though long custom enables the Bedouins
to drink water so brackish as to be intol-
cradle to all except themselves and their
flocks. Well do l remember how at each
well the first skinful was tasted all around
as epicures sip rare wines Great was the
Joy if it was pronounced "moya helwa, {"
sweet water; but if the Bedouins said
"moosh tayib, not good, we might be sure
it was solution of EPSON salts. The
best water is found in natural rocky
reservoirs in deep narrow gorges, where
the sun never shines. AS to "live sprin gs, 5"
l never saw more than half dozen in
5000 miles travels

What to Do in an Emergency.

Here is the best method of action when
the clothing of any friend is on fire. Seize
a shawl, or blanket, or any wooden fabric,
hold the corners as far apart as you can,
stretch them out higher than your head,
and running boldly to the person, make a
motion of clasping in your arms, mostly
above the shoulders. This instantly
smotbers the fire and saves the face. The
next instant throw the person on the floor.
This is an additional safety to the face
and breath, and any remnant of flame can
be put out more leisurely
The next instant immerSe the burnt
part in cold water, and all pain will
cease Next, get some common flour, re-
move from the water and cover the burnt
parts with an inch of -four; if possible
put the patient to bed and do all that is
possible to soothe until the physician ar
rives. Let the -four remain until it falls
off itself, when beautiful new skin can
be found Unless the burns are deep no
other application is needed Dry flour
for burns is the most admirable remedy
ever proposed The principle of this
action is that like the water, it causes in
slant and perfect relief from pain by
totally excluding all the air from the in
jured parts.
A good authority prescribes the follow
ing remedies: For severe burns cloths
wet in a solution of soda should be
quickly applied. For slight burns a
mixture of lime water and sweet oil
brings speedy relief.

He Was the Bearded Lady.
TSt. Paul Globe. :


"We teach a Sunday.school class? Yes,
indeed, said pretty young St Paul So
ciety lady the other day. "For long
time I used every sunday to teach class
of little boys at the Mission Sunday school,
a branch of our church at home There
were quite a number of them, ranging
from to ID years old. and they were just
as intelligent and smart as l could have
wished. But, do you know, the frstSun-
day that / took the class was amused
Of course wanted to know their names,
where they lived, and in fact who
they were. Questioning them in turn
l found their answers quite satisfactory,
until l came to a bright little fellow about
10 years old. He told me his name and
where he lived but when | asked him his
father business he did not reply at once.
I treasured him with my brightest smile,
but felt dubious when he said he guessed
he couldn't tell me that
My curiosity was now aroused, and l at
once made up my mind to know all about
it. Thinking of the horrid dynamiteurs
and burglars and all those awful men we
are constantly hearing about, it was with
some trepidation that l insisted on his
telling me. His reply assured me to a
greater or less extent, and was: My
papa is the bearded lady twice a week at
the dime museum.

The Goose Livers of France.

II dTIS OOE. IuuoutlpIld StbIeFeTI
The foie gras, which makes the cele.
brated pate, is nothing more than a dis
ease, that of large liver The birds are
imprisoned in small compartments, where
they can not turn. only room being left
for their heads and tails to protrude. Be
fore them is trough filled with water, in
which powdered charcoal is mixed; the
birds are literally stuffed with Jod, of
which maize, moistened with poppy oil,
is the base. Pending the last day of fat
tening, all liquid is suppressed.
The presence of ball of fat under
each wing indicates that the psychologist
cal moment has arrived-to extract the
liver. The bird is then so obese that it
respires with the greatest difficulty. 1t is
then killed. A goose weighing twenty
pounds will yield six pounds of fat and a
liver from two to two and half pounds.
The price of liver-that luxury es-
teemed in Old Rome by Caesar and Girls
pius-varies from 2 to 3 francs The
special liver fattening increases the size of
that organ tivefold.

How ROnef-skates Consume Bo1wood.

How HOIlef-SKateS consume BOXWOOCk.
New York Paperl
I'm less than one year the price of box
wood has trebled, said hardwood dealer
mania has completely exhausted the
market of certain size of lockwood. Less
than eighteen months ago | could sell a
ton of three inch lockwood for $685. and
it would be first-grace wood in every
respect, and admirably adapted for turn
ing small work The demand then was
steady, and the principal consumers of the
wood were rulemakers, tool manufacture
ers and turner's who supplied the market
with boys tops, pool pins. and toys of
various kinds. The sudden and remark
able growth of the roller-skating pastime
has created a constantly increasing de-
mand for certain size of wood, and now
it is impossible to purchase a ton of suita-
BILE wood for kate-wheels for 1920
HAS nothing been tried which gives
promise of superseding boxwood?" asked
the reporter.
"Yes-rubber, celluloid, rawhide, vul-
caniZed f1bres, and compressed paper have
been tried in making rollers, but for one
reason or another they have proved I'M
satisfactory. Some have proved too soft,
while others, like the pure celluloid
wheels, have been found too expensive for
general sale, and the necessary metal
bushings have proved Objectionable, be-
cause the grit and dust from the
floor and the shoes of the skaters,
wearing between twSN metal surfaces,
has rapidly cut away the aXleS of the
skates. Rollers with anti-friction bush
ings, consisting of a number of small steel
plugs freely revolving around the axles,
have been tried with some composition
wheels with success, but they are neces-

"Will no other wood than lockwood
answer"
"OnIy for very cheap skates. Dogwood,
apple, pepperidge, laurel and lignumvitR
have been tried by almost ever roller
maker, and all have been rejected. The
lignumvite alone is hard enough, but it
will not stand the strain of the small axle.
Metal wheels with a rubber surface are
made, but nothing has yet been found
which in all respects is as good for the
purpose as lockwood.

The Picturesque Palm.

West Indies Cor. Inter ocean.
The most beautiful thing in the tropics
is young palm tree; the old ones are more
graceful than any of our foliage plants,
but they all show signs of the furious
winds which sometimes sweep the islands;
but the young ones. so supple as to bend
before the hurricanes, are the ideal of
grace and loneliness The long, spread
ing leaves, of a vivid green, bend and
sway with the breeze and nod in the SUM-
light with beauty one can find no words
to describe. AS picturesque in repose as
they are graceful in motion, they fascinate
the eye of him who beholds them. To
paraphrase what Dean Swift said of the
strawberry: God doubtless could have
made tree more beautiful, but God never

Odious Custom of Gift-NIaking.
louisville Courier-JournaLl


In modern times every conceivable Oc-
casion is graSped by some gift-making.
Holidays, birthdays, wedding anniver
saries, promotions, election to Office, de
partures, and almost everything else must
be celebrated in this way, and it is this
which has made the custom an odious one
A gentleman was talking on the subject
a few days ago.
"Do you know said he. "that many a
man in this city has been compelled at
times to rob his family of some needed
comfort in order to keep up with his fell
low-emplOyes in gift making? Well, it is a
fact, and to say the least of it, shameful
one. A dozen men are employed in a
store. and some event in the life of their
employer makes recognition and remem-
brance on their part esSential-not justly
so, but still they must not appear plea
yunish, and a present is decided upon, and
each fellow assessed enough to make in
the aggregate the sum required to pur-
chase it. Some of these men have famil-
les which they find it hard matter, on
small salaries, to provide for. These So
or So or So taken from their purses are
needed at home, doubtless, but still they
have to give it up to pamper TO foolish,
aye, criminal custom, or be called mig
gardly and maybe, if their fstinginess' be-
comes known to their employer, incur
his displeasure and lose their places "
"Do you think any man would be
mean enough to discharge an employee be-
cause he refused to rob his children for
such purpose?"
"Do I? Well, should think So I
know of instances where men have been
given to understand that they were ex-
pected to contribute, and, falling, would
have to look for work elsewhere. 1t is
this system of robbery which has made
CO
feature is that it is growing steadily, until
now some men can scarce turn around
without expecting some one to give them
something. "

A Mistake in His Favor.
[Chicago Tribune.l

The transposition of a word in deed
was the foundation of Daniel Clark's great
wealth. He had purchased 1920 square
toises of land in a part of New Orleans
that became the commercial center of the
city. By carelessness in the engrossing of
the deed his purchase was changed from
Il, 920 square toises" to II, 920 toises
square In other words, it was increased
from value of $40, 600 to $1,000, 600
Mr. Clark took full advantage of this mis-
take, and all the law in New Orleans could
not prevent him.
