While stiil wrought, whatever wind might blow

A valuable camel, working in an oil mill
in Africa, was beaten by its driver. Seeing
that the camel had treasured up the injury
and was only awaiting a favorable chance
for revenge, the driver kept strict watch
upon the animal Time passed away; the
camel, knowing that it was watched, was
quiet and obedient, and the driver began to
think that the beating was forgotten, when,
one night, after several months had gone
by, the man was sleeping on a raised plat
form in the mill, whilst, as is customary,
the camel was stabbed in a corner.
Happening to awake the driver saw by
the bright moonlight that, when all was
quiet, the animal looked cautiously around

where bundle of clothes and burnous,
thrown carelessly on the ground resembled
a sleeping figure, cast itself with violence
upon them, rolling with all its weight and
tearing them most viciously with its teeth
Satisfied that its revenge was complete, the
camel was returning to its corner when
the driver sat up and spoke At the sound
of his voice, and realizing the mistake 1t
had made. the animal was so mortified at
the failure and discovery of its scheme
that 1t dashed its head against the wall

Chinese Physicians.
From Lippincott's.


The taking of first dose of Chinese med
icine is all ordeal which can be better i'm
agined than described. 1t is invariably
bitter decoction. If the patient prefers,
the herbs are given him in square paste
board boxes holding about pint each,
and he cooks them at home. A Chinese
prescription contains from ten to sixteen
varieties of herbs, flowers, nuts, gums,
barks and roots. More than 1900 species
are classified and Used as medicine, but
of these only some 600 are in general use.
Whether the patient takes the remedies at
the sanitarium or at home, he is request
ed to present himself every day before the
doctor for another pulse examination, so
that every change in his condition may be
noted and the prescription may be varied
accordingly. The Chinese are clever chem
lists in the line of pharmaceutical prepara-
tions, and prepare many medicines for their
own use in the form of pills and powders;
but these are employed by the Chinese
physicians in treating the ailments of white
people only to a limited extent. The rea-
son given is that the simple, hot decoctions
of the fresh root or plant are the best form,
because the most readily assimilated into

4 Remarkable Family,

FROM tne bowling Gr7en Times
John Chandler. who resides in Allen
county. is the father of twenty-nine chill
dien, twenty-one of whom are living and
have families. These twenty-one children
have an average of five children to each
family, thus making Mr. Chandler the
grandfather of one hundred and five per
sons. But this Is not the full extent of his
offspring. for he has thirty-fye great
grandchildren, so 1t will be seen that Mr.
Chandler stands pater familias of one hun
dred and sixty-twO-an achievement rarely
equaled 1t Is certainly not paralleled when
the fact is considered that the members of
this large family are all living.
Mr.. Chandler Is a remarkable man in sew
eral other respects. Although seventy-fve
years of age and residing in the hills of AL
len county. he reads current literature and
keeps himself informed on the leading top
les of the day. His eyesight Is perfect, and
he reads the finest print without the aid of
glasses. He is an expert rifle shot, and
spends a great deal of his time squirrel
hunting. He cast his first ballot for a pres
identfal candidate in 1S4S for, TAYLOR the
whig nominee, but for the past fifty years
has voted the democratic ticket His wife,
who is three years older than he is hale
and hearty.
