Description by an English traveller
Of fight between camels at the court
Of an Indian prince:
1.-TWO camels were brought into the
grounds at the back of the palace and
made to face one another They were
male animals. whose vicious tendencies
had made il necessary for them TO be
kept from the rest of the cattle and who
had been carefully fed in the chieftain's
fighting stock as being especially pow
erful animals.
al signal from the prince the crca-
lures were let loose and shambled to-
ward each other. At first they merely
Tented and sldrmished about in a clum-
sv fashion, their long. awkward legs an
uresistbly ludicrous sight. Presently
they began to foam at the mouth, their
faces became coutorted with fury. and
a sort of fencing match took place.

Many birds form their sounds With
out opening their bills. The pigeon is
a well known instance of this. Its COO
ing can be distinctly heard, although it
does not open its bill. The call is formed
internally in the throat and chest and
is only rendered audible by resonance.
Similar ways may be observed in many
birds and other animals. The clear.
loud call of the cuckoo, according 10
one naturalist, is the resonance of
note formed in the bird. The whirrihg
OF the snipe, which betrays the APP
proach OF the bird to the hunter, is an
act of ventriloquism. Even the night
ingale has certain notes which are BRO
duced internally, and which are audible
while the bill is closed.

Be patient with your friend who is
not all that he ought to be. lie may
try you severely by his shortcomings.
But if he has real virtues, you ought to
let them outweigh his faults in your
estimation. The relation which you
proyidentially sustain to him puts you
under obligations to look out for his
good points, and to grapple him at
these points for the purpose OF
lifting him into higher life. Is it not
likely, moreover, that this same friend
occasionally has a call to be patient
with you? Are you so fawless in char
acter that you need to ask for no one s
forbearance? Have you done nothing
to tax the long-sutfering of God?-
