The CAMEL.
Peculiarifies of This Eminently CseSal
Animal of the East.

Peculiarities of This Eminently Use4al
Animal of the East.
Probably there is no more unhand-
some animal on earth than the camel.
and proba bly,, also, no animal except
the horse is more useful. The camel is
perfectly adapted to the hot dry coun-
ties, where he is the principal beast of
burden, and all of his peculiarities
have their use. His teeth are admir-
ably filed for browsing on the desert
shrubs and plants, his long neck en-
ables him to Craze over considerable
area without moving his feet and his
stomach can digest almost everything.
In fact, the camel has two stomachs.
The inside of the second stomach and
a part of the first are lined with great
masses of cells, or small pouches, in
which water is stored up and retained
for a long time. When he has an OPP
portunity to drink he supplies himself
to his fullest capacity, and thus pro-
vides against future want But these
are not the only peculiarities of this
ungainly brute. His nostrils are so
arranged that he can close them at
will, and thus exclude the sand when
the simeon is blowing. His feet are
SO constructed that they spread out
over the yielding sand and form a sup
port while at the same time they are
sufficiently hard to enable him to travel
over rough ground.
The ungainly hump on the back of a
camel is provision of nature for sup
plying food in the same way that the
cells of the stomach supply water. 1t
is. in fact. store of fat. and when the
supply of food is scant the animal
draws upon this fat in order to sustain
his strength. The Arab is also very
careful to see that the hump is in good
condition before the commencement of
a long journey. After it has been
much exhausted the animal must be
allowed two or three months of rest,
with abundant food, in order to restore
it
When he travels the camel raises
both feet on one side at the some time
so that he walks with a very queer
rocking motion that is very disagreed
bic and very wearying until the rider
becomes used to it. During my first
days ride on camel" says recent
traveller, - ce1t that had no spine: at
the end of that day and on two or
three succeeding days felt that had
an iron spine, without a joint in any
place. -Harper's Young People.

TIE WORD "VENTILATON."
Blessing and Comfort That Comes from
Gushing Air.

Rushing Air.
What does ventilation mean? The
Latin ventUs means wind" and the
English definition of wind is rushing
air, and it is not until the air about
us ceases to rush and becomes stagnant
that we realize the blessing and COM
fort OF rushing air. The air is close. =
when a warm fog, with no breath of
air stirring, envelopes us a whole
city can become so imperfectly ventilat-
ed as to become dangerous: In the sec
ond week of December. 1873. London
had one OF the dcnsest fogs that ever
visited it. The products Of combustion
from thousands OF smoLestaclSs and
ehimneys, and the carnations from its
millions OF human beings, and all the
dcletericuS eiilavfa from eli other sourc-
ea were caught and held right inthe
houses or on the respiratory levels: no
mercIful rushing air swept them away.
The registrar generals report showed
$50 shore deaths than had been known
in any previous week for ten years. and
the details OF the record showed that
the physical disturbances were almost
incredibly profound and curious con-
tirmation of the fact that atmospheric
poiiutions causing the norbitic condi-
ton came from 4 very unexpected
source. The SInithfeld club cattle
show in the midst OF London was IN
operation on the 9th and 10th Of that
month. and the Times OF the nth re-
lates that the show was interfereCi with
by the sickness ana death of many ami
mails, and that others were rescued
oaly by being sent out into the pure
air of the country The human nor
tality OF this unventilated week. with
no rushing air, was far greater than in
the panic week of chole-s, in is66.-N.

ARITHMETIC LOSING GROUND.
The Principal OF School Notes Chang
IL Fayorite SeoG1ieS.

The Principal OF 4 School Notes Change
IL Fayorite Seodies.
These facts about the declines Of
cred from the principal OF one of the
Detroit public schools BY writer for
the Free Press. What he says applies
only to the Detroit schools, though it
would seem that the failure of what
was ten years ago regarded as the
most important grammar school study
might not be confined to the city
limits of the place named. In the lat
ter part of the '70s. and well along in
the sos, he says, the pupil who was
quickest and surest in arithme-
tic was also the quickest and
surest to gain the esteem and
influence of the teacher. He
might be an ignoramous in geography,
an undecipherable penman, slow to
perceive the principle of grammar,
and 4 miserable spelier. but if he
grasped the point and pith of catch
problem in decimals or in fractions,
his future promotion to higher class
was assured. But change, gradual
and sure, has been going on in the cur
riculum of the common school The
arithmetical despot has taken seat
in the rear, while the young fellow
who seeks after real information in
the form of history of lands, peoples
and government, correct spelling and
speech now sits on front bench. The
human mind is unsettled in it's youth
full stage. 1t requires training. and
the school exists only for this purpose.
Arithmetic was once supposed to be
the best form of Undertaking. 1t
brought into full play the powers of
reason, and was placed first in impor-
lance. But experience proved that
while the reason was to certain cX-
tent exercised the memory was neg
lected. Again, the longest time and
hardest work were devoted to arithme-
tic, and the other studies were disre-
garded. With all of these concessions
the arithmetic lesson was not more
than half learned. To-day the pupil
delves deeperinto the more intellectual
researches of civil government, gram
mar, geography and reading. He can
tell you now something about the des-
TIMES of government and people that
hinge about presidential election
He takes an interest not only in the
doings Of Mayor Pingree in Detroit,
but of Mr.. Cleveland at Washington,
Mr.. Gladstone in England, Senior Cas-
telar in Spain, Premier Crispi in Italy,
and the young emperor in Germany.
He knows all about the late Hawaiian
incident, and with delightful accuracy
describes to you the location and i'm
portance of the islands, their climate,
people and government. He has begun
to read the standard authors, and with
assurance that is attractive, because
an evidence of bright mind, he COM
pares ThaclSeray, Scott and Dickens,
and tells you where this one leads and
the other lacks.

other queer, uncanny things. and the
elements of stril1ingly effective whole
are assembled
Ball dresses are really used at Sara

abhor the promiscuity of the great

combinations as black corded silk and

more charming than a girl in white
book muslin worn with broad white
sash, into which was tucked big
bunch of Jack roses The girl whom
it became SO well was young and pretty,
and. truth to say. simplicity takes
youth to carry 1t. Another comblna-
ton was white muslin over lettuce
green.
All the new hats on the tennis courts
show black wings upon them at the
back, the front or the side. Cherries
are grouped with the wings most illog-
ically and, to my taste, unpleasantly.
Sunburnt straw is the hat stuff the
women favor most, and on the big, fiat
garden shapes they put white lace and
white gardenias.

plant for the purpose of keeping Off
ces and dwellings cool during the
warm weather His plan is to lay
pipes throughout the city and lead
them into private dwellings and offices
Through these pipes he will send cur
rents of cool air that will make people
imagine that ice cream is warm in
comparison. For irate. individuals of
the male sex, or ladies of a peevish
disposition, his scheme will work to
as every man can have in
his home cool room where abnormal
