A queer Thing About CameIs.

Some years ago, when the British
troops were fighting against the force,
OF the Mahdi in the Soudan, opppoN
tunity was afforded to many Of the cor
respondents 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 call
ed, and at night some of the newspaper
men spent a portion of their leasure
trying to learn something new about
these strange creatures.
One of them, who was an inveterate
smoker, discovered that the camel is a
great lover of tobacco. Let any one
smoke pipe or cigar in the camel
compound, said he, and the camel will
follow the smoker about, place his nose
close to the burning tobacco, inhale
the fumes with a prolonged sniff,
swallow the smoke, then throwing his
head up, with mouth agape and eyes
upturned, showing the bloodshot
whites, will grunt a sigh of ecstasy
that would make the fortune Of a low
comedian in love scene.
So If any of you have 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 PaoplA
