Sore Bones mud n Fall the Fate Which
Usually Befalis Il Novice.
There is something in~eXprcssibly re-
polling in the supcrcillium tristc of n
camel as he looks scornfully at you
with his nose in the air, says IL writer
in the London Spectator. But ] over
came my rcpugnance and mounted one,
after receiving careful instructions how
to retuin my seat while the brute was
getting up. 1t was we'll enough while
he walked, but when he began to trot
Il brisk pace 1 dcvoutly wished myself
astride on n humber animal. But how
was l to stop him? There was no bri-
die, only q rope attached to the left side
of the brute's mouth. At that rope I
tugged, with the effect merely of MAX
ing my camel trot to the left. 1 had
been told that if I wished to make him
go to the right 1 must hit him On the
left side OF the head with q very short
stick, with which l had been provided
for the purpose. But that wa moro
easily said than done. How was I,
from my giddy perch, to reach the
creatures head across that long stretch
of necA tried it and nearly lost my
balance for my pains-no joke at Il
height of some ten feet above the pcb-
bly, sand. Ono of the officers, however,
saw my plight, stopped, uttered some
gurgling sound, and then the camel,
exposing it's teeth and protesting vigor-
ously, linclt down, and l. dismountcd,
vowing that never again would I
choose that mode of locomotion. My
delivercr, who exchanged his donkey
for my camel, laughed heartily ut my
discontinue. But 1 had my revenge
speedily, for in tho cxubcrancc of his
gayety he allowed the camel to rise I'M
~cxpectedly and was pitched head over
heels on the ground. lie was not hurt
and he joined in the laugh against him
self as heartily as he had laughed ut
me.

Elephants as EInanciera.

The penny-in-thc-slot machine has
been adapted to the use of the elephants
at the Manchester zoo. When u visitor
gives the elephant q penny the ani-
NAL drops it in tho slot and gets n bis
cult. There is no use in trying to de-
ccive the animals by half-pcnaics.
Those dcspiscd coins arc always flung
in the face of the givcr. Tho other day
a visitor gave n baby elephant Il num-
Der of ha~lf-pcnnics in succession, but
all were thrown bnclI. The animal was
then given Swo hn~lf-pennics at the Same
time. The creatures dcmcanor changed.
For moro than five minutes he held tho
two coins in his trunk rubbing them
together and seeming to be pondcring
deeply. At last he dropped the two
half-pencc in the box together, with the
result hat the combined weight gave
him the desired biscuit, at which he
gambolcd about in q manner which ex-
hibited extravagant delight.

It WIN BE Mado by u Wealthy Merchant
OF Canton.
MIR. Chun is n merchant of Canton.
lie Is said to be ono Of the richest men
In China. The Chinese government was
very wroth when the act excluding it's
citizens from landing on American
shores was passed by congress and in
reply to President IIarrison's invitation
to take part i'll Tic fair sent back Il curt
refusal. Mr.. Chuu heard about this
and wa grieved to think that his coun-
try would not be represented in any
way ut the fair. lie called on Charles
Seymour, the American consul at Can
ton, and talked the situation over, and
finally decided to shoulder the burden
of making China's exhibit himself. Mr..
Chun convinced Consul Seymour that
he would represent his country credit
ably, and the consul cablcd to Chief
Fearn to ave space for Mr.. Chun. lie
assured the officials hat tho Chinese
millionaire would spare no money to
have the industries of his country prop
crly shown.
1t is expected that the Chinese exhibit
will be confined almost exclusively to
manufactures hall. Mr.. Chun intends
TO concentrate his efforts to show what
tic manufacturing industries OF that
country arc doing. Ivory carving, silk
fabrics and numerous decorative arti-
clcs will form the principal exhibit, on
which Mr.. Chun expects to spend thou
sands of dollars. The rich Chinarlan is
not prompted by patriotic motives alone
in making this lavish outlay at the fair.
lie is tho senior partner and fnancier
of one of the largest mercantile houses
in Canton and by means of the exhibit
expects to draw the attention of the
American buyers to his house.
Mr. Chun is something OF a tourist
and when he goes abroad travels in
royal style. His face is familiar in some
of the largest mercantile establishments
in Paris.

WAxHIxGrox, Aug q. There Will be
m ooscry among tn politicians II the bill
which Mr.. Lodge Of Massachusetts, has
introduced in the senate should become a
law, but the eIamor against il Will psob-
ably prevent its ever reaching stsge
where its passage will be likely The bali
hears the innocent title. To regulate the
appointment Of fourth class posfmAsters,
bar its essential purpose ID to exclude POI
nticai influences in the appointment and
removal Of the great number Of such post
masters throughout the country.
The bill Is the outgrowth Of a conferences
Of the advocates Of the extention OF the
non partisan system Of appointments
They furnish the following figures In its
defense. Ia 1855 there were $40 removals,
bat in 1856, with the change in admins
traticn, there were 9. $50, with S,lI2 resig-
natious-a change Of more than 50 per
cent Of the ostmas tiers Of the country in
a single year, where the changes were less
than "A per cent the year preceedins- A
like change IN 1883 In the administration

the year before when there was less mo-
tive Tor political removals.
The figures for the present ADMINISTERS
tion are. of course. not obtail.able, but
they will doubtless show that removals
have been made with the same d~xteriry.
MIR. Lodges bill provides for the seiec-
ton Of postn,asters. when vacancies occur,
in an open and public manner by post
Office inspectors. The change proposed by
this bill reduces the labor Of the postoiHce
department by one-half. and it Is chained
for the system that 1t would nor be expen-
siye after the principle was established
that the tenure of the best postmasters
was permanent, and that they would not
be removed for political reasons The
interferences of members of congress III
the selection Of fourth-eiass postmasters
is especially forbidden in Mr., Lodges bill.
