A QUEER THING ABOUT CAMtLs.
The Ships OF the Desert Fond of Tobacco
smoke.

Some years ago, when the British
troops were fighting against the forces
of the mahdi in the Soudan, opportuni-
ty was afforded TO many of the CORE
spondents accompanying the expedi-
ton to study the habits of the camel
Most of the transportation of the SOL
diers' baggage was done by these 'ships
of the desert" as they are called, and
at night some of the newspaper men
spent a portion of. their leisure trying
to learn something new about these
strange creatures
One of them, Who was an inveters te
smoker, discovered that the camel is a
great lover of tobacco. Let anyone
smoke pipe or cigar in the camel COM
pound, said he, and the camel will fol-
low the smoker about, place his nose
close to the burning tobacco, inhale
the fumes with prolonged sniff, swal-
low the smoke, then throwing his head
up, with mouth agape and eyes up
tnrned, showing the bloodshot whites,
will grunt sigh of ecstacy that would
make the fortune of low comedian in
a love scene.
SO if any of you have a pet camel
who seems to be longing for something
and refuses to be comforted until he
gets it, you might give him cigar, He
is usually so intelligent that it would
probably take very few lessons to teach
him how to smoke in most expert
fashion. -Harper's Young People

forty years ago was a tall, straight
sided, round tin pail, into which was
set tin dish about half as deep ard

little above the edge. The cover fitted
into this dish, and upon the top of the
cover was circle of tin, like short

cup was carried The cup, inverted,
telescoped down over the holder, but
there are now dozen varieties in the

Dancing leaves OF brightest green 80.
Wave in the morning shine,
Mortar and bricks are lost to view
Meath web of tendrils fine, s
And the winds Of Heaven come down to play
With every clinging feathery spray
Sky from my window cannot Sec
Blue let it be, or gray,
But sunshine and green can fill my eye,
And brighten my tolling day,
That bit of gladness that grows outside :
Makes work more easy and life more wide
Thank God for the vine that grows on the wall
'Tis His own thought that ] see
While His sun shines and leaves are green
I'll trust His love for me.
The Hand that made each tendril dear
Is the gracious Hand that placed me here.
But days will come when, stripped and bare
The dripping vine will swing
Against the wall, while wind and rain
Beat down on the ruined thing;
Days when l toll unsatlsfed
And see no cheering green outside
Yes winter must come to each and all,
And days when work is vain
The winds that sob through driving snow
But seem to voice my pain
Wtthin-a dull and fruitless sound,
Without-a dreariness profound
Oh, foolish hearts, what thoughts are these9
Again seem TO hear
The message OF the gladstone vine
Reechoing on my ear,
And bidding me still hope and wait
For better days and happier fate.
Our Father loves us still in Heaven
His sun still shines below,
The clouds will part and gentler winds
Blow DER the melting snow,
Leaves yet will bloom, and birds will sing
And toll its recompense will bring.
