MAJORS BIG STORY.
Idea of His Wife Giving Him S5 Won
 Him . Prize.

There were five or six of them sit ting about the stove in the drug store, and they had been telling some pretty tall stories, says the Detroit Free Pree. The druggist was man of some hu- nor anG invention, and he concocted a mixture of great potency and fine flavor. composed of SD. frumenti, sac cbarum alba, cortex limonis, carophyl- lus aromaticus and aqua pura q. g.. This mixture lie proposed to adminis- ter to whomsoevsr should tell the big gest story, and the party at once be- gan tO stretch their inventive powers to the fullest extent. A toilet-soap drummer was appointed judge. and the prize mixture, steaming hot, sat iu an eight-ouuce graduated measure up- on edge of the stove.
 The colonel told war story of the Munchausen variety, the squire rela- ted hunting adventure that evinced . decided genius for evading the truth and the postmaster made strong bid for the prize with . snake story big enough to make sea serpent jealous. The others followed in turn and the last man, the major, entered the com. petition. The major had in his mind remarkable narrative about dog that he owned that did some wonderful things, and he began his story in this way:
 ..Last Wednesday morning got up little later than usual and went down to breakfast. Most of you have seen that brown setter of mine-he's good deal smarter than most men. Well. that dog was in the dining-room when I went in. As came in the door my wife. who was waiting for me. said: ".John, when I went in to wake you up this morning I found this s5 bill on the floor. You must have dropped it from your pocket when you undressed last night Then she handed me the bill. Now, that dog of mine vas" ..Walt a minute" !" said the toilet-soap drummer, ..You needn't go any fur ther with your story. The prize is yours. I'm a married man myself, and that lie you've just told is one that you'll never improve on. I hereby render decision in your favor" As there were no single men in the crowd not voice was raised in protest against the judges verdict.

Hasty Judgment of the actions of 9TH
ers is dangerous and often unjust. We
measure too much by some superficial
appearance and condemn Hastily, when,
if we but knew and understood the mo-
tives and reasons, we would warmly
approve. We sometimes say of some
one, "That pain, sorrow or loss has not
deeply affected him. But we do not
know. 1t is like the death of few of
the soldiers in front of u regiment The
broken ranks close up again into the
solid phalanx, and the loss is not appar-
ent. There may BIO no Reorganization,
no surrender, no craving for pity, no
display of despair. 1t is like the calm,
dazzling play of the waves warmed by
the mornings sun after night of
storm and disaster. There is no sign of
the wreck. The tide has carried the de-
bris away far out on the ocean; the
treacherous water has swallowed all
signs and tokens Of the nights awful
work. We see only the fairness of the
morning, not the suffering of the night.

THE CAMEL'S HUMP.
The Latest Scientific Explanation OF It's
Origin and Purpose.
Where did the camel get its bumn2

Where did the camel get its hump?
be 1T known that camels did not
originally have humps OH their backs.
SO says Professor Cattaneo of the Ital-
ian Institute Of Science. The proof that
they did not and the explanation of
why they have them now is given by
this savant i'll a recently published
monograph, which is the result of sci
entific study of the subject.
The llama is known to have been
used as beast of burden centuries be-
fore the discovery of the western hemi-
sphere, but it ia asserted that thousands
of years before the first llama carried
a load upon its back the camel had been
domesticated and was used for the trans
portation Of burdens.
1t is upon this point that the Italian
savant rests his theory as to tho forma-
ton of that animals hump. In the be-
ginning, he says, the camel, like the
llama, was straight of back, but 100
centuries, perhaps, Of making pack
animal of the camel have brought
about the change. At first the skin
grew loose upon the camel's back. Then
there and upon its knees the skin grew
thick and callous. Soon nature began
to pad this burdened part with fat and
muscle, then for countless generations
heredity did its work Little by little
the hump grew, until itfinally acquired
its present size.
The use of tho camel in the desert
places of the world also played its part
in the formation Of this portion of it's
anatomy. For, being forced togo with
out food for days at a time, nature camo
to the rescue of the camel and provi-

which should nourish the beast through
