From the Century.


Another curious profession among the
Bedouin Is that of the thief trackers."
Being without paddocks or stables, and
their animals always more or less at lib
erty, theft of stock would appear to be an
easy and frequent matter Each tribe,
however, has its little company of track
ers," and it would be either a bold or an
ignorant man indeed who ventured to in
terfere with an Arabs live stock. I have
heard of one instance in which camel
stolen from a camp near Ismailia was, af-
ter weeks of labor. successfully tracked
to the Soudan. where the beast was recap
tured and summary vengeance wreaked
upon the robbers. Selected for natural
ability, and trained from boyhood to dis
criminate between each animals footprint
this faculty becomes so highly developed
that a particular horses or camels trail
Is unerringiy picked up from among the
thousands of Impressions on the dusty
highway.

From the Boston Evening Transcript.

The late Mary Cowden Clarke for the
last fifty years of her life never permitted
any change in the style of her dress, and in
variably wore the picturesque and old-fash-
ioned gowns which were in vogue in the
late Hos These were always made of the
richest silks and satins, and opened in
front to display a dainty underskirt fiounc-
ed with fine old Honitan lace. She adhered
to the good old-fashioned caps, with big
rosette of~ribbon just above the forehead.
and tied under the chin, SO well beloved by
our grandmothers. Her manners were also
quite of the old school. She retained ali
her faculties till within few days of her
death, and although she was over eighty-
eight, her memory was as clear as that of
person still In the prime Of life.

OF TRUTH.

It was only short time ago the Fort Smith Record mentioned the strenuous efforts that were being made by the tobacco trust to show that cigarettes were not so deleteri- ous in their effects on health as has been claimed by those who have made study of the subject. The country was flooded with pamph- lets a few weeks ago, claiming to show that the cigarette was as pure and spotless as the driven snow and that it had been most terribly mal- igned. Expert medical opinionsp which must have been bought in a pretty cheap market-were pro- dueed to prove all this.
 In this connection, however, it is interesting to note that Dr. Beni. King of Philadelphia, who acted as an examining surgeon during 1861- 63, in New York and Pennsylvania Ohio and Indiana, says that the average rejectionsl during those years did not exceed 13 per cent. He attributes toe large increase al- most entirely togthe cigarette habit T have been inspecting the papers in a number of cases under the pres- ent recruiting act" said Dr. King and l observe that most oi the men who failed to pass the medical ex- animation have weak hearts or lack the vitality necessary to make a good soldier. l had expected that the percentage of reiections would be greater now that in 1861, but 1 did not dream that it would be al- most three times as great. The ex- amining physicians with whom I have talked have generally told me that the excess of rejections is due to the large number of young men spplyiug for enlistment lwho have become victims of the cigarette habit. :"

NASAL CATARRH

must be non-lrritating, easy of ap-l plicatiOn. and one that will by its own action reach the infiamed and diseased surfaces.
 ELEY'S CREAM BALM combines the important requisites of quick ac- ton and specific curative powers with perfect safety to the patient. This agreeable remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has, and both physicians and patients freely concede this fact. All druggists cheerfully acknDwledg that in it the acme of Pharmaceutical skill has been reached. The most distressing symptoms quickly yield to it. In acute cases the Balm imparts almost instant relief.

 Catarrhal sufferers should remem- Der that Ely's Cream Balm is the only catarrh remedy which is quick ly and thoroughly absorbed by the diseased membrane. It does not dry up the secretions, but changes them to limpid and odorless condition, and finally to natural and healthy character.
 The Balm can be found at any drug store. or by sending 50 cents to Ely Brothers, 57 Warren St., New York, 1t will be mailed.
 Full directions with each package.

FCOLilx1 NN APE.
His Curiosity Always Led to HIS be-
ing Caught.

The big ape in the ZOO needed exer-
else. This he obtained by being allowed
the run of the large monkey house, in
stead of remaining in side room, be-
fore the visitors came, says the London
Spectator. AS he knew he would be
caught and put back into his own room
at this hour the ape used to climb up on
to the Top of the other monkeys cages
and refuse to come down. AS he could
not be tempted by food, Mr.. Bartlett
appealed to his mind by working on
what he had noted to be his weak
points, curiosity and cowardice.
This is Mr.. Frank Buckland's account
of the daily proceedings at this hour;
"Mr. Bartlett went to the keeper, and,
touching him gently on the shoulder,
directed his attention in mysterious
manner to the dark passage under
meath the gas pipe which traverses the
house, pretending to point out to SUIT
ton some horrible unknown creature,
using an energetic manner, but saying
nothing except words to this effect:
Look out-there he is-there he isl
At the same time the two men would
peer into the dark place under the gas
pipe" The monkey used presently to
come down to see what the subject of
fear and interest was, when Mr.. Bart
lett and Sutton used to shout: "He's
coming out: He's coming Quit" and
rush away in the direction of Joe's cage
The monkey would rush for the same
place Of safety, which happened to be
the door of his own house, and some
times enter it before them. auckland
notes it as curious that the monkey
never learned the deception, but would
be taken in by it whenever the time
came to finish his mornings airing.
