How long would you be contented
without a drop Of water to drink:
There are many different kinds Of ami
mails In the world that never in all
their lives sip SO much a. a drop OF
water. Among these are the namns
Of Patagonia and the gazelles Of the
Ear east. A parrot lived for fifty-two
years In the 100" at London, England,
without drinking a drop Of water, and
many naturalists believe the only
moisture imbibed by wild rabbits is
derived from green herbage, laden with
dew. Many reptiles -serpents, lizards
and certain batrachians-live and
thrive in places entirely devoid Of wa
ter. and sloths are also said never to
drink. An arid district in France has
produced a race Of non-drinking cows
and sheep, and from the milk Of the
,Ormer Roquefort cheese II made.
There is a species of mouse which has
established itself on the waterless
plains Of western America, and which
t;ourishes, notwithstanding the alb
sence Of moisture.

Danger In the x Ray.

Fine complexions, according to Q re.

Prof. Elihu Thomson, the electrician,
says this Is not true, and that to pre-
vent serious physical injury the ray
must be used at some distance from
the body, with an exposure Of not more
than from Is to 80 minutes. Not long
ago he tested the power Of the ray on
his little finger, held close to the tube
for II minutes. Redness and irritat ton
quickly followed, the nail fell on later.

CAMPING OUT.

Now that midsummer days are here,
And hours are long and skies are clear,
'Tis time TO leave the crowded street
For distant woodlands cool and sweet;
There pitch tire tent near by q brook
Where trout swim hungry for the HOOK
There loaf and hunt and read. and live
In manner plain and primative,
Enjoying Nature as bird
Enjoys her-every sign and word
Interpreting, until the heart,
OF Natures own becomes part
OF rugged rocks an oven rude
The hearthstone of your solitude
Sufiices well to cook your fish
And lend a flavor to the dish;
Or yet to send the fragrance up
OF spicy coffee from the cup.
What Joy to waken with the sun
And snd the fresh grass overspuu
With webs Of gossamer, and see
The sunbeams steal from tree to tree,
Dropping their gold along the way,
To guide the shining feet OF Day!
Then when the breakfast hour ts Ger,
To luitrr down along the shore
With rod and line and tempt The trout
From his retreat TO venture out!
Perrhance a book would best beguile-
Then lie down where the sun can smile
Upon You reading, prose or rhyme,
TAa wood stream singing all the time.
Above, r.,s Sirds, around you flowers
Needless be now the flying hours!
Or distant mountain heights may lrge
Your feet to find the dizzy verge
Whence. looking forth, the world yon

I.iet oufstretched in Gods hand below,
And YOU. the master of it all,

The finite with Iufnity-
To -" and feel and comprehend

And round the blaze the comrades SIT

How Five Kittens Came to be Named.
There was the mother cat and five
kittens, and none of the kittens had
names. Somehow the children had
been so busy watching them tumble
over each other and try to walk and
then all 60 to sleep In a bunch, that
they had not thought Of naming them
The mother cat was gray and four
Of the kittens were gray, but the fifth
cat was black. Jet black. and so without
any planning or forethought the fifth
kitten came to be called Blackie.
1t was easy enough to distinguish her
from the others, but how TO tell apart
the four gray ones was question. At
last II was discovered that three OK the
gray ones had white feet and the
fourth one was gray all over. So again.
without a thought of naming her. the
children designated her as Gray Paws.
And then there were the other three.
One of these had but one eye, the chill
drAl announced sOrrowfully, after the
kittens were old enough to prove that
they had eyes at all, and then in all
tenderness and with no thought Of re-
proach, the afflicted kitten became One
Eye.
Still there were two left: two that
looked almost exactly alike. OF course
the children watched them every day
and 1t did not take them long to find
out that one Of these was very
spunky kitten. She would spit at the
others If they came near when she was
eating, or II she was suddenly sur
prised by any one. and when this was
discovered she was dubbed the Spit
fire of the family.
But the remaining kitten was the one
who made the others stand round"
If they did not do as she saw ft she
boxed their ears. II the rest came
around her saucer Of milk she cuffed
them away, and SO Of course she was
the Boss.
And no one was more surprised than
the children when we discovered that
the kittens were all named, for every
one was sure he had not named them
And such a funny lot Of names as
1t was: Blackie, Gray Paws. One Eye.
Spitfire and Boss. But the names all
fitted and some Of them had been
earned, and the kittens didn't seem to
mind them in the least.-Youth's Com
panion.

A Rear End Smash-up Occurs at
the Brewery
Curve.
ENGINEERS LEG WAS BROKEN.
The Regular Freight Crushes Into String
OF EmptieS-Enginser and Fireman
Jumped-Botb Hurt.

A rear-end freight train collision
occurred on the Southern railway
curve near the brewery site yesterday
morning early, resulting in injuries
to. the engineer and fireman of the rear
train and the wrecking of four freight
oars.
The switch engine of the Southern
was pulling a string of freight cars to
the southern wharYes, and behind it
came the regular freight on its way
out of the city. The regular freight
came around the curve and Engineer
Martin Karchner saw that q collision
with the rear end of the other train
was inevitable. He reversed his en-
gine and jumped, closely followed by
John Isaiah, the colored fireman. The
locomotive crashed into the freight
cars ard threw them from the track.
Four Of the freight cars were
wrecked. They were "empties." The
locomotive was not badly damaged.
Engineer Karchner's leg was brok-
en- by the force of the fall. Fireman
Isaiah was slightly injured.
DR.. Hugh Burford was soon on the
scene, and, with DR. J. A. Butts, at
tended to the Injured men. Engineer
Karchner was taken to the home of
his mother-in-law, Mrs. Coleman,
and the fireman to his home. Their
injuries are not serious, though both
Will probably be laid up for some
time.
A force was put to work clearing
away the wreckage, and it was COM
pleted by O'Clock yesterday after
noon.
