THE cAMEL.s REVENGE.
A Strange story OF . Stupid beast,
Anger.

Anger.
The camel Is stupid save when an.
cry, and then seems to become sud.
denly possessed With an intelligence
almost preternatural In carrying out
Its vengeful designs. Palgrave relates
the following story ofAk camei's re-
venge. which serves to illustrate this
point: A lad of IA had conducted O
large camel. laden with wood. from one
village to another. at half-hours dis.
tance. As the animal loitered. or turn.
ed out OF the way. its conductor struck
1t repeatedly, and harder than It seem
ed to have thought he had right to
do. But not finding the occasion ia.
vorable for taking immediate quits. II

same lad had to reconduct the beast
but unladen, to his own village. When
they were about half way on the road
and at some distance from any habita-
ton, the camel suddenly stopped. look
ed deliberately round in every dlrec'
tion. to assure itself that no one wat
within sight. and. finding the road far
and near clear OF passers-by. made .
step forward. seized the unlucky boy'i
head in It's monstrous mouth, and. lit.
Ing him UP In the air, flung him down
again on the earth with the upper
part of his skull completely torn on
and his brains scattered on the
ground. Having thus satisfied Its re-
venge the brute quietly resumed Its
pace toward the village as though
nothing were the matter. TIL some
men, who had observed the whole,
though unfortunately at too great n
distance to be able TO AFFORD timely
help. came up and killed it.-St. Pauls.

ChIldreu's Teeth.

When the teeth OF children are once
In their proper position they should be
regularly cleansed and cared for. The
brush should be small and very soft.
II this is unpleasant to the child. use
a soft cloth at first Children will
soon learn that this operation IL as
Important as to wash their face and
hands. With proper care there Is
usually not much decay: still 1t will
come. and when it does the cavity
should at once be stopped with some
plastic filling and repeated as often as
necessary. II the parents and dentist
treat the children kindly they will find
them willing to endure what is nee
essary. Tell them the truth and be
kind and patient with them and they
will do their best.

Hair For Violin Bows,

The horse hair used in making violin
and other similar bows Is imported
from Ger many. A considerable part
Of the hair thus imported, however,
coming originally from Russia. Horse
hair for these purposes is white and
black. The black is the heavier and
stronger, and this is used in making
bows for bass viols, because 1t bites
the big strings better. In preparing the
hair for use in bowmaking the white
hair, used for violin bows, is bleached
to bring 1T to its final Wilderness.
The standard violin bow Is 20 inches
in length; longer bows are made to
order Shorter bows are used by
young persons; but the bow commonly
seen in the hands Of violin player
Is % inches long. Horse hair for violin
bows is imported in various lengths,
but mostly in lengths Of 36 inches.
Hair sufficient for one bow Is put to-
gether in what Is called a hank. There
are grades and qualities Of the horse
hair, but the best is not very costly.
A hank of the best white hair can be
bought for 20 cents; it might cost &c
cents more to have it put into the bow.
To rehair a bass viol bow costs more,
the bulk or hair required being greater.

East Of Chicago Doesn't Count.


When l was In Chicago in 1877 It
was the metropolis Of the west with
out qualification. Now 1t is merely
the frontier city Of the middle west.
From the point of view of Omaha and
Denver 1t seems to fill the eastern
horizon and shut out the further view
Many stories are told to show how
absolutely and instinctively your true
weSterner ignores the eastern states
and cities. Here Is one Of the most
Characteristic: A little girl came into
the smoking car Of train somewhere
in Kansas or Nebraska and stood be-
side her father, who was In converse
ton with another man. The father
put his arm around her and said to
his companion: "Shes been great
traveller, this little girl of mine. She's
only 10 years old and she's been all
over the United States"
you don't say.' replied the other.
"All over the United States"
"Yes, SIR. all over the United States"
said the proud father, and then added,
as though the detail were scarcely
worth mentioning, except east Of Chi
cago."
Chicago, unfortunately, marks the
limit of my wanderings, so l shall re-
turn to England without having seen
anything of the United States, except
for sort of Pisgah glimpse from the
tower of the Auditorium.-William
