wife from the departure station. The
ticket was delivered simultaneously
with an intimation from the railway
company announcing that he had lost
his life in railway accident.

victims. The ticket had been reduced

Remarkable Animal.
There are many fables told about the

Of being very vicious; he is supposed
to have several stomacns and to go for
weeks without water as a matter of
choice. can only say that in nearly
four years of experience / have never
met with case OF seasickness or heard
Of It; neither have / known a really

which means fasting" and corre-
sponds to the "rutting" period in
stays. AS regards the camel's stomach,
[ believe 1t is identically the same as
that Of any other ruminant, or that, at
any rate, there is no formation OF
stomachs which would enable him to
do without water. His abstinence is
merely the result Of training, and It is
q fallacy to suppose that he is better
without water or can work as we'll. In
the camel corps we watered our camels
every second day in the summer, every
third day in the winter, giving them
their fill Of water morning and even
