Hot weather and Hotter winds.

We have heard responsible officers of the
old Indian fiotilla avouch that they have
seen che glass register 200 dogs. in the sun
at Bushire. 1t was long time ago, how
ever and there lies the excuse Perhaps
space, under peculiar circumstances. But
when l60 dogs. is passed. every fraction be-
comes horribly perceptible. Ten degrees
above this is not uncommon. The coolest
place to be found at Shikarpur sometimes
has been $40 degs. But l20 in the shade
may BE regarded as the temperature of the
very hottest climates in the world-when
no wind blows Fancy that, as the mini
mum, for forty-eight hours at stretch
AT Sukkur-the year round, mark,-resi-
dents endure a minimum of 90 dogs; hap
PLY there are very few whites among them.
But this is in time when no wind blows
and winds are the rule from March to

There is the Suk, which rises, as scien-
tihc persons allege, in the Kachi desert;
but ordinary mortals will not be persuaded
that it has its origin in the upper world.
worse. The Bad-i-simoon kills outright
everything 1T encounters-not only that, it
burns up tissue and cartilage, SO that the
limbs can be pulled asunder when the
storm has passed by. OF course it is rare
and brief and very narrow in its track.

He Saved His Wad.

THAT reminds me of a fellow / knew
out at Durango, Colo.," said a mining man
last night as he dropped into a reminiscent
mood. I'm Durango there is an upper
town and lower town. Collins-that
was his name-on the night in question
started for the lower town. He had some
thing like $3.50 on his person. The way
was lonely and dark, and it was not long
before he saw couple of fellows step out
in front of him.
Throw up your handsp was the order
to Collins, and up they went like a shot.
He comprehended the situation at glance,
and to the surprise of the footpads burst
out into an uncomfortable fit of laughter
What's the matter they asked.
why, fellows said he, III tell you
what's the matter. | haven't had any
thing to eat since yesterday, and all have
to say is that if there is anything to be
made on this little job l would like to be
in it with you fellows Continuing, he
said, Search me if you want to, and if you
don't find anything. why, give me hand
at the game
Collins little trick worked to a charm.
oh, we won't search you,' was the reply
he received; go ahead and get something
10 eat. Here's fou- bits, and my pard here
will give you another four bits
so Collins went on to lower town
richer than when he started. ''-Chicago

An Arab Tradition.

There is an Arab tradition cited in Bur
toms Gold Mines of INDIAN" regarding
the creation of the camel, which illustrates
the popular but erroneous opinion that
this animal is ugly in form and temper.
The story goes that when Allah deter
mined to create the horse he called the
south wind and said, II desire to draw
from thee a new being; cond ecSc thysclt by
parting with thy fluidity." Ghe Creator
then took handful of this element, blew
upon it the breath of life and the noble
quadruped appeared. But the horse COM
planned against his Maker. His neck was
too short to reach the distant grassblades
on the march; his back had no hump to
steady saddle, his hoofs were sharp and
sank deep into the sand, and he added
many similar grievances.
Whereupon Allah created the camel to
prove the foolishness of his complaint. The
horse shuddered at the sight of what he
wanted to become, and this is the reason
that every horse starts when meeting its
caricature for the first time.-Rev. S. NJ.

for good reason too. He was sitting quiet

THE STORY OF THE GRAVES.

Winter, from his icy palaces looked
down and saw world of graves In +bo
splendid sunlight, rare roses cleaned ! ~
oCa!ieC ana IN god; trees crowned with
Whlte and purple blossoms leaned their
tresses to the laughing winds and show
e!e9 sweet deWs upon the earth below,
oiIus sang, and waves of melody went
wandering to the skies. But on the can
dld plains the lone graves cleaned and
Saddened all the sunshine: and on the
shadoWed bosom of the velvet valleys
VolceIess, save for the wailinp of the
world above them, they looked toward
heaven. 90
ana The winter saw men kneelinp and
the Womenweeping uncontrolled by the
side OF the graves and it wept for SYM
pathy, and called the clouds together and
said: anu
Hide with your SHOWS, o Clouds
these graves that make the sunlight sad
that make the birds chant dirges: FIJI at
make men sigh and women weep: that
sadden earth and heaven. Hide them
., cloud beneath your icy snowsr'
And the clouds rained ON the graves
and hid them away from the world un.
der an icy canopy of white. But men
sighed still; and women wept. There
were no violets in the valley; no roses in
the meadows; no blossoms on the trees
no bird-songs in the air-no graves to
make the sunlight sad.
And the winter wondered why men
sighed and women still went weeping
until from its icy palaces it saw wo-
man kneeling in the dark. With tremb-
ling hands she brushed the SHOWS away.
and leaning her white lips, left on the
grave that lay beneath mothers kiss:
and taking from her bosom one dead
rose, kissed it and laid it tenderly on the
grave, and weeping, went away.
And the wondering winter called the
clouds once more and said:
"Vain was your work, sad clouds!
Open your starry windows and let the
sunlight stream on the graves once more.
Bloom, roses, i'll the green heart of the
meadows; and scent the velvet valleys,
fragrant violets! Give to the world her
graves! For men go mourning for them
and the holy hearts of women dwell in
dust with love; the love that triumphs
over death, and links with tenderest
chords the dust of a dying world with
the glory of deathless heaven!'
