The cratu,tous Lie.

The gratuitous lie is not only doubly inn
moral, but doubly dangerous It always
takes on an unnecessary elaborateness sure
to attract attention and lead to deep seated
distrust on the hearers part The iron
bound. copper fastened, indestructible lie
has as little detail as possible. It's safety
lies in its magnificent simplicity, not in its
circumstantial Development It is told
only under the pressure Of necessity, and
il is framed so that a single statement COW
ers the whole case But such a lie re-
uuires high degree Of talentg Surely,
and very fortunately, too, for the world can
only be conducted on basis Of 80 per cent
truth to 1 per cent Of falsehood, and an in
crease, be it ever so slight, in the pe',cent-
age Of successful liars would disorganize
commerce and society to an alarming ex-
tent.-Kate Fields Washington.

CameIs In Australia.

In Australia the camel is fast taking the
place of bullocks for use in the barren in
terror regions. 1t is stated that there are
already opened mp and in regular work in
Australia five lines of camel traffic, andthet
on these lines over Z, 2,O00 camels are in daily
use. Camels are found to be so useful that
the number employed viii be increased as
rapidly as possible. With bullock teams
only about 10 miles a day can be made, but
Il is found that the camel will travel s.
miles in IS hours, carrying load of 800
pounds.
In the interior of Australia are 100000
square miles of almost unknown desert,
and it is on the great inland plains that it
is intended to utilize the camel trains, as
bv their use the various oaseso Of civilization
may be more directly connected than by
the old bullock routes. On the arid plains
and among the mud fats and brackish
lakes the camel finds plenty of coarse grass
and thorny shrubs on which to subsist. It
is claimed that work can be found in Aus
tralia for 100000 philadelphia

He had a great laugh-a high, musical
tenor-and when he had listened to ortold a
story which particularly pleased him he
would walk up and down the room, with
one hand on the small of his back and the
other rubbing his hair in all directions,
and make things ring with laughter.
Lincoln has great fame as story teller
and yet the truth isn't half told. First
and last, lie told thousands and thousands
OF stories. He was wellspring Of anec-
dote. Yet, under all his humor and all his
laughter he was tender, sensitive, roman
tic, oltentimes sad. lie appeared hard and
practical, and yet no man ever lived who
needed and craved sympathy more than
Lincoln. He was strongly social in his
nature and ,illed people rather than
places. Like all men of the highest cour-
age, fearing nobody, he hated none. He
would oppose man to the death, but
would never hate him Senator Voorhees,
