AN OvERRATED BEAST.
Sudan Correspondent Indulges In Re-
Elections on the Camel.

~ suuun correspondent InOuIges re
Elections ON the Camel.
The London News correspondent with
the Sudan expedition sent the following
reflections on the camel
The camel, be II at once said, is an
overrated beast There is great deal Of
him, but he is not for his size nearly so
strong as the useful, unpretentious dom
key. Then, too, his anatomy is so
strangely conceived. His legs are at
tached to his great, unwieldy carcass
with seemingly SO little consideration
for the uses to which (merely viewed as
legs) he might BIZ expected to put them,
and his neck and tail are so obviously
disproportionate to the rest of him, and
both SO useless, that the camel is some-
how incomplete, or, owing to some mis-
take, was never finished off at all.
Even the qualities he possesses tend
to strengthen one in this bewildering
suspicion. For instance, he can kick
himself violently in the-let MS say the
front Of the back-with his fore leg. He
does il constantly. Time and again have
devoted long hours (fruitlessly, must
admit to an attempt to win the conf
dence Of my favorite camel-my favorite
because he is less cruel TO me than the
others I have wooed him with the soft
notes of my kourbash, have tempted
him with the thorniest Of mimosa
branches, have puffed tobacco smoke
into his supercilious nostrils.
And then, just as I have fancied I
saw the light Of sympathy dawning in
his long lashed eye, he has risen all Of
one movement to his feet, grinned at
me in frightful manner. disclosing a
forest of green and broken teeth, and
gazing at me full, with more vindictive
contempt than I have ever marked in
any human eye. has kicked himself vio-
lently in the stomach and lay down
again, as who should say. "Now, go
away and don't bother, like a good
boy"
Then he can gnaw his own tail-his
absurd, useless little rag of tail that
isn't even worth biting. But is that an
object worth living for3 Or, again, he
has, to be sure, seven stomachs, Of
which. vain beast. he 10 so Unfortunately

with it) that he is constantly fetching

"A Profitable Sale.

and did her shopping in New York by

Too Much Alike.

The St. Paul Dispatch of Saturday re-
lated the following story on H. G. Hays
of Sleepy Eye and Dr.Rowe of st.James
There is striking personal resem-
blance between H. G. Hays, of the
Sleepy Eye Dispatch, and c. w. Foote,
of the St. James Plaindealer. They are
both in town, both stopping at the Wind
sor and both arrayed in their ioshing
clothes. Foote is looking after the in
terests of H. H.. Dunn, candidate for
Frank Days place in the senate, and
Hayes is candidate for enrolling clerk
of the house. Hayes was sitting in the
office the other evening WREN DR.. Rowe,
of st. James, came in and took a seat at
his side. =. l-.-. ,r.

Well, I've been taken for a good many

GOLD in THE RIVERS.

=.
Europe's Streams Arc Filled with pre-
r., .,. cious Metal ,.. .5s5
In the River Seine a small quantity
Of gold exists in state of division SO
fine as to be invisible to the unaided eye,
and it is said that when the sand OF, the
river near Paris is used in making glass,
the crucibles in which it is melted are
frequently found to be gilded over at
the bottom. In former times, in fact,
says the New York Sun, a sort Of mining
was in vogue on the Seine at Paris, car
ried on by men who would buy a francis
worth Of quicksilver, and, after passing
the sand of the river over it all day,
would sell it in the evening for six or
seven francs-a kind Of work which,
however, for some reason was liscop-
tinued. Almost all the rivers Of Europe
carry small quantities of gold in their
sands, such as the Rhine, the Seine,
the Aar, the Reuse, the Danube and 9th
ers; also the Clyde and many other
streams in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and
Cornwall; and, though one ton of sand
from the bed of the Rhine, for instance,
yields only 9h grains of gold, or one
fifth of an ounce, yet the total amount
of the yellow metal in that one river
is believed to be immense. It has been
found, indeed, by careful scientific ex-
animation and calculation, that that
part of the River Rhine alone which
flows through what was formerly q
portion of French territory contains no
less than $4,000 tons of pure gold.

The absent-minded man took his seat
at the restaurant table and, as usua1,
buried his face at once in newspaper,

bill of fare, q napkin and a knife and
fork in front of him and stood two or
three minutes unnoticed before ask

ed man, starting up suddenly, not re-
membering what it was all about. u
What do you want for lunch, sir?''
the waiter asked again. SS 5aS
'.Oh, yes, said the absent-minded,
trying to collect his wits. Bring me
cup Of coffee and ham sandwich 9 Z.
The waiter supplied the order and
put large pasteboard check for it
down on the table, the absent minded
man continuing to read his paper. The
waiter went away to attend to sthe
wants of other people, and about, Is min
utes later came back. B
Do you wish anything more y he
asked, politely

man, somewhat viciously. 60 and get
