Robbed of It's Poetry.

Dr.. Nachtigal, the celebrated African
explorer, was once the guest of rich
Hamburg merchant. The merchants
son, young man of somewhat senti-
mental temperament, said that his dear
est wish was to ride across the desert on
the back of camel, He thought such
aHde must be very poetical indeed.
MY dear young friend" replied the
explorer, 81 can tell you how you can
get partial idea of what riding a camel
On the desert Of Africa is like. Take an
once on stool, screw it up as high as possi-
Ole, and put 1t into wagon without any
springs; then seat yourself upon the
Nool and have it driven over uneven
ana rocky ground during the hottest
weather of July or August after you
nave mad nothing to eat or drink for
@ehty-iour hours, and then you will
sy' lalnt idea of how delightfully."- po-
