Cat,ieis iii Time of War;

In lecture on the use of csmels in
war, delivered in L 'ndon the othtr day.
Lord Napier Of Magdala said that q
strong, well fed camel could carry $50
pounds, including two riders, and even
400 ponnds; but there must he great
care in padding the saddle, for sore
hack tends to undermine the constitu-
ton of the animal. No snir1al should
be intrusted for driving to sny5ne not
thoroughly accustomed to the WORK, and
the rear seat should he taken by soldiers.
The men, Too, should have few les
sons in camel ridihg They should he
instructed to sit loosely Id the saddle,
and so elbow their movements to fall in
with those OF The camel, as by so duin9
they would add to thtir own comfort
and that of the animals. To sit tightly
and TO grip with the knees, as on horse
back, produced needless strain on RI
der and ani,fial, and gave less secure
seat. 10 tie actual clash of arms the
cames should form the bulwalk of the
square, and the inner part Of the square
should be protected by the fire of the
soldiers, who could have the bodies oil
the csmels for sheir protection.
