In the reading books of a generation or
two ago there was story of a boy, the
son of an admiral, who was on his fathers
ship, which was lying at anchor. In a
until at last he stood upon the truck at
the very summit of the main topmost,
which bent beneath his weight. To retrace
his steps was impossible, nor could he long
retain his dizzy standing. His father, COM
ing on deck, took in the situation at a
glance He snatched from a marine a
loaded musket. raised it to his shoulder,
and, putting his speaking trumpet to his
lips, he called: Robert, jump overboard,'
For an instant the boy hesitated. and the
fire" The next moment the boys body
flashed through the air, and as he struck
the water a score of blue jackets leaped

his fathers arms, saved by the apparent
harshnesS. A moment of unwise tender
ness on the part of the father and all
would have been lost.
II seems harsh to separate q sick child
from the rest of the family. possibly to put
him in the hospital for contagious diseases,
but ii is real kindness to him and to them.
The surgeon appears heartlesS when he
insists on heroic treatment. and perhaps
demands an amptuation, but he is saving

the sleeves are very much used, and so are
strips of insertion and bands of silk and
satin In fact, you cannot trim up sleeve
too much.
People who have the big. old sleeves on
their winter dresses are making them fash
ionable by clever little devices. One OF
these is to shirr the sleeve around the arm
at intervals of two inches A little ribbon
is then run around each shirring and tied
in a little bow at the back of the arm.
This is continued almost to the shoulder,
but at the top the sleeve stands out full.
You see very few sleeves of contrasting
material. although the sleeveless jacket is
much in the form of a bolero. The
hands of the sleeves are trimmed with ruff
fles of the same material or of silk or lace,
or. If left plain, cuffs are to be worn.
1t is pleasant to be able to record that
winter fashions will be quite economical,
because it will be so very easy to make
over last winters styles into this season S
modes. Even the skirt can be rehabili-
tated for it needs only a ruftie or band
TO put it in style.
They say-but this is a state secret-that
economical women are taking advantage
of the present fashions by covering up
worn spots with convenient f1ounces and
bows, but of this can only make mention
in the absence of absolute authority.

l have found in my study OF camels,
however an example perhaps still more
curious and significant. 1t is known that
with the exception of its stature, the camel
is absolutely a llama, its blood globules be-
ing elliptical it's teeth reptilian i'll FORM
it's rudimentary third and fifth toes per
manent 1t possesses, further. that mys-
FERROUS pouch of the stomach for the stor-
age of fluids the same kind of calloslty
on breast bone and knees, acquired by the
camel through kneeling To- receive loaos.
But the camel differs strikingly from the
llama in that it possesses the hump. thas
fatty mass, with a special development OF
some of the spinal processes. For long
time I could not explain this hump. one
day, however, a poor porter having a COM
plant in his chest. came TO consult me,
and on examination, found, half way
down his back, precisely where he was
wont to rest his burdens, tumor larger
than a mans fist, formed almost wholly
of adipoSe tissue. 1t suddenly occurred 70
me that this iump-which not only caused
the porter no inconvenience, but even aided
him in his work-might perhaps serve as
clew to my mystery Of the Gamers hump.
I succeeded in examining seventy
porters of various occupations, and, 70 my
great joy. / was able to ind four more ex-
amples of this fatty tumor.
What was of even greater value IN our
inquiry was the fact that so per cent. or
the p0rters examined. although having no
real hump. yet presented an unuSuaI pro-
tuberance Of the spinal processes.
