Tho March of the Caravan.

Perhaps the welrdest and most ina
pressive Of the many unwonted mem
ories that the traveller carries away
with him from travel in the east is the
recollection Of the camel caravans
which he has encountered Mt night.
Out Of the black darkness is heard
the distant boom Of a heavy bell.
Mournfully and with perfect regularity
Of iteration it sounds, gradually swell
Ing nearer and louder and perhaps
mingling with the tones of smaller
bells signaling the rear guard Of the
same caravan. The big bell is the In
sigma and alarm Of the leading camel
alone.
But, nearer and louder as the sound
becomes, not another sound and not a
visible object appears to accompany it.
Suddenly, and without the slightest
warning, there looms out of the dark
ness, like the apparition Of phantom
ship, the form of the captain of the
caravan. His spongy tread sounds
softly on the smooth sand, and like q
great string Of linked ghouls the ST.
lent procession stalks by and is swal-
lowed up in the night,-"Persia and the
Persian Question"

The Salmon.

Whether we consider beauty Of form
and color, gaminess, food quality or
abundance and size of individuals, diff
ferent members of the salmon group
stand easily with the first among
fishes. The salmonidoe are confined to
the northern hemisphere, and north of
10 degrees they arc everywhefe abun.
dant where suitable waters are found.
In North America alone not fewer
than siXty-two species and subspecies
are now recognized by ichthyologists.
Some of the species, especially the lar
ger ones, are marine and anadromous,
living and growing in the sea and en-
tering fresh water only to spawn.
Such are the five species of salmon of
the west coast of America. Still 9th
ers live in the smaller rivers and run
ming brooks, entering lakes or the sea
as occasion serves, but not habitually
doing so. Such are some of the spe-
cies Of trout of the genera salmo and
salvelinus. Others, again, are lake
fishes, approaching the shore or enter
ing brooks in the spawning season, at
other times retiring to deeper waters.
or these are the whitehshes and her
rings of the great lakes and north

Portable dwelling house at the best,
and Mrs. Melton frowned upon modern
improvements. The rooms were grad
ually filled with strange wares from
antique shops and the building was
dedicated as perpetual shrine to the
father Of his country. There was an
oak out on the lawn which a young
French officer had planted. There was
also a stately elm supposed to have
been placed there in its infancy by the
hands Of the great liberator himself.
The house became the headquarters of
the Daughters Of the Perpetual Evolu-
tion, and now there was talk of Sc
leeting Mrs. Melton as the grand re-
gent OF the order in the United States.
The organization had grown and Mrs.
Melton was engaged IN making per-
slstent avowals Of her unworthiness to
be the head OF such a distinguished
body. The reception which she was
giving on the day preceding the an
nual election was seized upon by some
Of Mrs. Melton's friends as an oppor-
tunity to increase her capital as a can
didate.
Under such circumstances and with
her mind upon such large ambitions, It
was exceedingly distasteful to her that
young John Dunstan should persist in
his attentions to her daughter. Isabel
Melton had ideas of her own, and she
had on several occasions expressed un-
sympathetic opinions of the Daughters
OF the Perpetual Evolution. She had
not even asked for admission to the
local chapter. Such heresy as this Mrs.
Melton could attribute only to the influ-
ence Of young Mr.. Dunstan. He made
washing soda which he called by pa
trlotie name. The title was emblazoned
on the fences along many miles Of
railroad. To Mrs. Melton it seemed
remarkable that a daughter of hers
should look with favor on anybody
who was not Of the purest Revolution
aFy strain. There was Richard Waldo
ver Perkins, for instance, who fulfilled
every condition OF eligibility. He was
TIE direct descendant OF one who had
FOLLOWED the fortunes Of the Contl-
hental army" He was rich and his
mother was actually thinking of fur
nishing the funds for the casting of
bronze tablets which the Daughters
might place on certain public buildings
Ia the metropolis.
IF you only had some warlike for
bears" said Isabel Melton to Dunstan

historic oak, II think that we might

the Mexican and civil wars replied
Dunstan "They became generals and
colonels; but, after all, that does not
count feT much. Strange that the new
name for the washing soda did not
soften her any"
From the house there issued a babel
of voices. Apparently many expires.
sions Of wonder mingled with the gen.
tral uproar. Relays Of Daughters hur-

cindered walk.
"You really must come in," he said.
ut is the most interesting thing you
ever saw. Mr.. Melton says he will not
examine them until you come-,the pa
pcrs, you know. A secret cupboard has
been found near the old manteL"
Around the fireplace The Daughters
Of Perpetual Evolution had foregath
cred. The mir was filled With exclama,
tions. In the center Of the group was
James Henry Melton, the husband OF
the prospective regent, white whis
keFed, benevolent person, waiting to
read an aged, yellowed paper.
This house being now completed,
he read. 81. Ebenozer Huntington, wish

was built after the independence Of our
country had been achieved, and at no
time did 1t serve as Il headquarters for
General George Washington. Only
few years have passed, yet there are
several hundred evil places, and
Mrs. Melton rushed forward, too late
to stop her husband. Had he known
the contents of that paper and the con.
sequences which it bore he could not
have acted with such remarkable lack
Of diplomacy.
He heard later the views Of Il fearful
woman who sat in Il room strewn with
torn and aged papers and still fes-
toOned with the decorations Of the
most disastrous reception in all her
days. A certain Mr., Perkins, who had
found the secret spring by accident,

Curing n Doctor,

An eminent physician Of London,
who was remarkable for continuing
his visits to his rich patients after he
had turned their disorders out of doors,
attended a lady Of some celebrity in
the world of wit for three months after
her recovery and regularly stayed with
her until, in the English manner, he
received his dismissing fee of s
guineas. Weary of his expensive calls
and concluding that to lessen the fee
would be to lose the visitor, she ven
tured to give hlm 4 guineas at the con-
clusion of his next call. He looked
snxiously in his hand, then on the
carpet and stood for some time in evi-
dent embarrassment.
"Have you lost anythingT inquired
the lady.
"Why, madam, thought had dron
ped a guinea"
"It is only a mistake in the person.
