water In the KaIahari Desert.

The bushmen in the Kalahari desert
often live scores of miles from places
where water comes to the surface.
During a certain part Of the year sharp
storms pass over the Kalahari, cover
ing the apparently arid region with the
brightest of verdure and filling for a
few short days the water courses witn
roaring torrents. The bushmen Kno"
how to find water by digging IN 'ne
bottoms of these dried up river Deus
They dig a hole three or four feet deep
and then tie a sponge to the end OF d
hollow reed. The sponge absorbs tne
moisture at the notion of the hole, ana
the natives draw it into their mouths
through the reed and then empty IL INTO
calabashes for future use.
The animals that inhabit such wastes
rs the Kalahari are of course accus-
toned to living upon very small and
infrequent supplies of water. The Bech-
uana do not lead their cattle to the
drinking places oftener than once IN
two or three days. 1t is said that goats
in the Kalahari frequently pass months
without water

A Geniur For Friendship.

of life contained within its walls. He

lost" he said, "in which l do not make
a new acquaintance" The fact that
he never lost friend except by death
shows that he was as tenacious of old
friendships as he was eager to acquire
new. He had, in fact, very genius
for friendship, and the circle that gath
cred round him in his later years in
cluded not only poets, scholars and
men of letters, but the most prominent
painters, actors, musicians, doctors
and statesmen In England.-Bo0klov-

.R1ue HENS Chickens

Everybody knows that natives OF
Delaware are called BLUE Hens
Chickens" but not one in hundred
can tell you why they are so called
The epithet is said to have had its ori-
gin in the following:
One of Delaware's most gallant fight
ers In the war of the Revolution was
Captain Caldwell, who was notorious
for his fondness for cockfghting. He
drilled his men admirably, they being
known throughout the army as "Cald-
wells Gamecocks."
This same Caldwell held to the pc
culiar theory that no cock was really
game unless its mother was blue hen.
AS the months wore away Caldwelrs
men became known as the "Blue Hens
Chickens" title which only increased
their respect for the old gamecock cap
tain. The nickname became famous
and after the close Of the war was ap-
piled unfortunately to all natives Of
the Diamond State.

There is an amusing story by Athe-
n@us which suggests the possible ort-
gin Of the phrase. 'He does not know
enough to come in out Of the wet"
According to the entertaining gram
marian referred to, a town In Greece
under stress OF evil circumstances bor-
rowed money from a rich man, who
took as security for the loan a mort
gage on the handsome portico which
surrounded the market place. He was
not an ungenerous creditor, for when
II rained he caused the town criers to
announce that the citizens had permits
sion to take refuge under the colon
made. Strangers visiting the town who
failed to have the matter properly ex-
planned to them were so impressed by
the extraordinary circumstances that
they spread abroad the report that the
people were so stupid that they had to
be told when to come in out Of the wet.

The Seven sIeepers

The Seven Sleepers were seven noble
youths Of Ephesus. who in the time of
the Decian prosecutions, it is said, fled
to a certain cavern for refuge. They
were pursued, discovered and walled
in the cave, the perpetrators of the
deed hoping to mete out cruel and
horrible death. However, according to
the legend, they were made to fall
asleep and were miraculously kept
alive for nearly two centuries. Their
names are given as MaXimian, Nal
chus, hartman, Denis, John, Serapion
and Constantine.
