He had passes through to Atlanta,
but at Chattanooga they refused to
allow his wife to accompany him
farther. They had only been mar

Accordingly he dressed her as a
soldier and managed to smuggle her
on train. At Resaca she was
stopped. her sex being discovered.
The officer of the post absolutely re-
fused to let her go on. The surgeon
pleaded. Finally, after appealing to

Wet weather aud Cnmels.

Camels are very sensitive to mois-
ture. In the region of tropical rains
they are usually absent, and If they
come into such with caravans the re-
suits of the rainy season are greatly
feared, The great humidity of the
air explains the absence of the camel
from the northern slopes of the Atlas
and from well wooded Abyssinia,
This sensitiveness expresses itself in
the character of different races.
The finest, most noble looking
camels, with short, silklike hair, are
found in the interior of deserts (as in
the Tuarek region, in North Africa,
and they cannot be used for journeys
to moist regions. Even in Fezzan
south Of TIipolD the animals are
shorter and fatter, with long. coarse
hair, and in Nile lands and on coasts
il is the same. These animals, too
are less serviceable as regards speed
and endurance. Mature,

A Remarkable River.

On the African shore, near the
Gulf of Alden, and connecting the
Lake Of Assal with the main ocean,
may be found one of the most Won
derful rivers in the world. This Gu
riosity does not flow to but from
the ocean toward inland. The surface
of Lake Assal itself is nearly 700 feet
below the mean tide and it is fed by
this paradoxical river, which is about
twenty-five miles in length.
1t is highly probable that the whole
basin which the lagoon partly fills
was once an arm of the sea which
became separated therefrom by the
duning of loose sand. The inflow
ing river has limited volume, being
fullest, of course, at high tide, and
has filled the basin to such an extent
that evaporation and supply exactly
balance each other, st. Louis Re

One day recently at a crowded

were intent on their evening papers
and did not glance up. Others there
were who were not 40 engaged and
could not help seeing the poor old
fellow as he looked around in a dazed
sort of way trying meanwhile TO
preserve a very shabby equilibrium
by resting on both canes. Suddenly
a young working girl arose and gen

Then one or two gentlemen IN a
Hhamefaced sort Of way offered her
theirs. which she proudly declined.

lady in all except her bundles, which
were many and large and spoke OF

the prime of life and looked weary,
but seemed a practical woman and
prepared herself TO make the best OF
a very bad situation The ql!iet look
which she gave the woman in front
of her. whose uninteresting boy OF
three or four years occupied an un
paid for seat, showed that she had
thoroughly sized her up and expected
no mercy at her hands.
