Value of the Comma.

A Berlin correspondent tells this story
Of school inspectors recent visit to
a small German town: Requesting the
mayor to accompany him, the inspector
heard the latter mutter: II should like
to know why that fool has come so
soon again." Arrived at the first school,
he began to examine the pupils in
punctuation, but was told by the may
or: Eve don't trouble about commas
and such like The inspector merely
told one of the boys to write on the
blackboard: 1.-The mayor of Ritzelbut-
tel says the inspector is fool" "Now,"
he added, 'put comma after 'RitZel-
butteP and another after inspector
The boy did so. The mayor is believed
to have changed his opinion as to the
value of commas.

FIRST EUROPEAN CREMATION IN SIAM.

DIR. Peter GGowan, physician to the
King of Siam, who died recently, was
cremated according to the rites of the
Buddhist religion. DR.. Gowan, who
spent the greater part Of his life in Siam
and was for many years physician to
the King of Siam, gave up his prac-
tiee and joined the Buddhist priesthood,
devoting his time teaching the priests
the art Of healing. The doctor had long
suffered from asthma and did not long
survive after joining the monastery.
Before his death he expressed the wish
that his body should be cremated. The
ceremony attending the cremation was
most imposing. The King, as mark of
signal respect for the memory Of his
late physician, sent a gilded state car,
drawn by two black horses, on which
the coffin was placed. On arriving at
the Temple the body was placed on the
top of pyre surrounded by elaborte
floral tributes from the ladies of the
Royal Palace, while beneath were
wreaths placed both by European and
Siamese friends. After viewing the cot
fin the company, which included large
number of Europeans, adjourned while
the rites of the Buddhist faith were
gone through. The Chief Of the Temple
then delivered sermon Gin the Siamese

In sixteen hours without undue effort,
and. In the matter of price. compares
with the pack camel as the thorough
bred does with the cab horse.
At the present day camels are used
for all sorts of domestic purposes in
Africa. They may even be seen draw
inc plows in the interior Of the Regency
of Tunis. You may remark woman
and a camel harnessed to the same
plow. and you hesitate to decide which
is the greater outrage. They are also
used for drawing water from the
strange, cumbersome, old-fashioned
wells Of North Africa.
Their chief use, however, is for cara
vans. You may behold them bringing
in huge cases of dates from the GASES,
or you may see them with great tent
like structures of red silk upon their
backs. These tents are for the convey
ance of Arab women of the upper class
es, who seek to maintain the privacy
Of the harem on journey. Two women
and some children are often accommo-
dated on one camel. They have cush-
ions on which they can lie down and
even sleep. 1t is stuffy, and it Is dark,
but they deem themselves well Off In
escaping from the searching rays of the
burning sun.
It is a strange sight to watch the ar
rival of a caravan from a distance. 1t
resembles long snake, growing ever
bigger and bigger as it draws near. 1t
always proceeds in the same order;
first, the camels with huge packs OF
wool or esparto on each side Of their
backs; then a cavalcade of little, thin,
wiry donkeys, scarcely bigger than
large Newfoundland dogs, also very
heavily laden, sometimes having stout
man perched on their backs In addition
to their own weight In merchandise;
then crowds of men on foot, carrying
nothing but long guns slung across
their shoulders; and, lastly, herd Of
half-ragged women, groaning under
prodigious weights, and carrying their
children In kind of sack behind them
A camel's age may be told by it's teeth
with certainty up to eight years or even
twelve From fifteen to twenty 1t Is
old and well past its prime. Then it Is
often killed and eaten, just as horse
is In France-Herbert Vivian, in Pear
sons Magazine.

with Washington as a charter member,
and he was made worshipful master
on May 20, 1888. The lodge has still
in it's possession as priceless relic this
original charter, bearing the signatures
Of Washington as one of it's founders.
One of the most interesting incidents
in Washington's Masonic life took
place on September Is, 1893, when, clad
in the apron and other regalia of the
order, and holding in his hand an ivory
gayel, he took prominent part in the
ceremonies attending the laying Of the
corner stone of the National Capitol.
When Washington was buried in De-
cember IS, 1899, at Mount Vernon, his
body was consigned to the tomb with
high Masonic honors.

Most of us have certain reverence
for the camel. We stare at it in the Zoo
with as much wonder as If 1t were 4
giraffe, and we remember our ride on
the strange beasts back when we wore
short jackets. It Is therefore rather a
shock, on landing in North Africa, to
find camels loungingN about the streets
by the score, and to learn that they are
rather cheaper than horses; $40 to $50
will purchase a very fair camel, which
can easily carry 600 pounds burden for
thirty miles day during any number
Of days.
An Arab does not think nearly as
much of his camel as he does of his
horse, or even of his mule. 1t Is only
for the camel's strength and endurance
that it is in such demand. These are
the qualities which have earned 1T the
name Of the "ship Of the desert" AS
everybody knows, 1t can lay in store
Of water in Its pouch sufficient to last
it many days.
There is scarcely any food too tough
and unpaIatable for it's digestion. In
deed, it has become notorious for it's
habit Of feeding on the cactus of prickly
pear. 1t does not choose this food any

President Patton of Princeton declar-
ed before his recent resignation that
our national conscience is in imminent
danger on account of the great desire
for luxury and wealth which is peryad-
ing this country to the detriment OF all
other ambitions. 1t cannot be denied
that prosperity has it's perils and that
a dulling of the conscience as to the
means and methods of gaining wealth
is not the least among them. 1t Is
doubtless true that the mere puDllsheu
statements of the vast sums OF money
accumulated by certain individuals IN
these days and the still vaster amounts
represented in the capitalization OF GER
tain trusts and combines" have the
effect upon some minds of arOusing dis
content, inordinate desire, and reckless
ambition. The cOrollary of all this
would seem to be not to make an end
of prosperity or even Of large accumu-
lations Of wealth, since these things, on
the whole, work for good rather than
evil. but to press forward more siren
uously than ever in the development or
higher ideals among men, in the en-
forcement of sound morals and pure
religion, by which men are taught that
the highest and most enduring happi-
ness comes not through riches, but
through right living. If we are to
fortify ourselves as a nation and a
people against the insidious workings
of that spirit Of greed, selfishness and
sordid commercialism, springing out of
the possession Of wealth and It's lux
uries, it can only be by a still greater
insstence upon those forms of educa-
ton making for the development of the
spiritual nature.-Leslie's Weekly.

Morgan Does Give Tips.

''My tips to servants on the Oceanic
amounted to $13," said a traveller who
came over with j. Pierpont Morgan.
'"The rule is to give $3.50 to the table
steward, $3.50 to the bedroom stew
ard, 81 to the bathroom steward, So
to the check steward, So to the smok-
ing-room steward, 81 to the shoeshine
steward and S. to the chief steward,
in case he has performed special cour-
tesies. AS these special courtesies
were wanting on my trip, l cut the
chief steward out and gave the deck
steward 81 because he took excellent
care of me, reserving the best place
for my steamer chair, etc. | saw Nor

polar regions about the same time as
Robert e. Peary, has been invested by
King Oscar of Sweden with the grand

Drown of the first class. In addition,
pension of $50 a year has been settled
upon him in Sweden. This is the way

Free Masonry, $50 years ago, was eel
ebrated under the auspices Of the Grand
Lodge of Pennsylvania, President
Roosevelt, who is a Master Mason, be-
ing present to honor the occasion.
No phase of Washington's career Is
more interesting than his career as
Mason. From 1852 till the time Of his
death, period Of At years, he was
prominent and influential member, and
held many important offices. He was
consistent in his adherences to the ten
cts Of the order, and assisted in many
public Masonic demonstrations. When
ever he was concerned in the laying OF
a corner stone or the dedication Of
new building he always insisted on the
use of the Masonic ritual, and 1t is an
Interesting fact to note that when the
corner stone Of the old Philadelphia
mint, in Seventh street, was laid Wash
ipgton officiated in full Masonic regalia,
and it was dedicated with the full GER
emonies Of the order.
Washington's connection with the
Masonic order began on November 5,
1852, at Fredericksburg, Va, when he
was installed into the local lodge asD
entered apprentice. On March 5, 1853,
he passed to the second degree, and
was made a master Mason on August 4,

Decadence of Piracy.

Yo-ho-ho for the long ago,
When pirates were men of SOUL
When muscle and might
Were the things for a fight
And death was the blackleg's goal
Sing me lays of the good old days
When thief was proud of his calling.
Then pause to reflect
What state of neglect
Ger the piracy trade is falling.
Gone are the dash and the broadsword
slash
OF jolly bold robbers of yore.
Our thief of to-day
Has a sanctifed way
And faints at the sight of gore
Weep for the times when good old crimes
Are hedged about with propriety,
When pirates elect
A mask of respect
And move in the best society!

in Vienna one of his pupils in the game
was Gustave Epstein, among the rich
est bankers Of the Austrian capital.
One day the teacher puzzled over po-
sition so long that Epstein said, impa-
tiently: "Well?" But soon the bank
err himself was in hole, and his too
prolonged meditations were interrupted
with desrespectful "Well?" Sir,
don't forget who you are and what l

This is spread out for 1t on mat. Dr.
rectly it sees it's dinner being brought,
it exhibits great excitement, emitting
a strange, soft, nasal sound, something
between growl, and very loud purr.
1t kneels down very deliberately, bring

A camel is never In a hurry, even for
its meals, and each mouthful is chewed
over and over again, even though goats
and kids and fowls may all be poach-
ing on the provision. When specially
hard work Is required, camel is given
a ration Of barley and datestones.
Camels are said to be the most docile
animals imaginable. 1t is true that,
when they are walking the streets, they
shrink from contact with any one, and
will swerve aside if they meet even
small child or puppy. But this Is en-
tirely on their own account, for they
have a dread of being touched, except
by their drivers. They do not even like
to be stroked. AS they stalk about
with their noses high in air, and their
big, astonished eyes looking round

they are ready to carry big burdens and
go without food or drink, but that they
will tolerate no familiarities
Camels are models of obstinacy No
power on earth will induce a camel to
do anything 1t considers unfair. The
proverb about the last straw Is no f1c-
ton. Place a burden, which Is In the
least degree too heavy, upon a camel's
back, and wild horses will not persuade
it to get up, let alone start upon it's jour
ney. And it must be left to fix it's own
pace, which, in the case of the ordinary
pack camel, is very slow one.
A whip, even across it's nose, would
have no effect whatever, and your spur
might tear it's TANKS to pieces without
increasing the pace a jot. If its rider
initiates it, 1t will not try to kick him
off, but 1t may run away. If it does run
away, it will take good care that you
do not benefit by the momentary in
crease of speed. 1t will give you clearly
to understand that 1t only sought to
annoy you, and it will never run away
very far.

The pack-camel travels very slowly.
and, until you are sufficiently reccnciled
to the motion to be able to doze on its
back, you are constantly tempted to get
off and walk. If you want speed, you
must buy a racing camel. This seems
to belong to different creation. 1t is

talligent. 1t can accomplish 100 miles
