An English schoolboy's Essay.

Here is description of a camel in an
English board school essay, which, al
though inaccurate in points, will be
recognized as substantially true:
1.-The camel is very useful animal
and the hump is full of water; and it
can walked across the desert some
times with loads on its back, and give
little boys and girls ride in the
country and walk across the desert
without any water. And it costs a
great of money, and to buy 1t saddle
and its affairs to put round its head.
And thick chain so he should brake
it, and the camels feeds themselves on
the grass and stumbs of old trees and
hay."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

hollow, meaning depression in the land

nit of 1t you will be able to sec the coun-

there was such a thing as hill in Hol-

around the interninable plain. 81 can see
no hill"
1T is just over there, but you cannot
sec 1t, for it Is hidden by that BUSH"
assembled this fine hill, which proved
to be an artificial mound not 90 feet in
height but the natives are very proud Of
1t and speak Of 1t as If 1t were some huge
mountain. As an instance of how SUCCESS
fully Groningenor is deceived by his ad-
miration for 1t 1 may mention that my
companion heaved deep sigh, mopped
his face and dropped exhausted into a
chair-thoughtfully placed there by the
corporation for this object - when he
reached the summit. But to do this emil
nence justice it must be allowed that the
hill is beyond dispute above the level of

A TRUE BOHEMIAN.
a Fond Fathers Idea of Encouraging Hio
Boy Docs Not AnsHcr

LILO does not believe in cold formality,
or, Mt any rate. he didn't "a short time ago,
but of course his views may hnvc changed.
He liked Dohemianism, he said, and even
went so far as to inculcate Il little OF 1t into
his boy. He wished the lattor to regard
him as a companion rather than q father
and discipinarian, so ho taught him to
call him Horny, instead of either papa or
father.
FOR time the plan seemed to work first
rate, but 1t 10 barely possible that he may
regret it now.
Tho boy was such an apt pupil that it
only took him II very short timo to muster
the theory OF true Bohemianism, and he
showed his proficiency few nights ago
Tho father was in the parlor entertaining
some visitors, and the boy was up stairs
amusing himself by letting the water run
into n stationary washstand He put in
the plug and turned the water on full head
expecting It to run out the escape pipe at
the top of the basin, but tho escape pipe
had gone out of active business for some
unknown reason, and before the boy real
lied that anything was wrong the water
was running over on to the floor.
He turned 1t off promptly, but not until
there was quite n pool of water on the
floor. He realized that something ought

He went to the top of the stairs, and
this Is what the visitors in the parlor
heard floating down to their host.
HI Horny, bring n mop up here and
don't let tho old woman know anything
about it, or there'll be troubled"
There was no lack of Bohemian spirit In
the summons, but the circumstances made
SC Just trifle awkward, and it is possible
that he does not think so highly of his
theory now as no did at 1rst.-Chicago
