CAMEL A CURIOSITY.
sAtion Among the People Of
Cairo, Egypt.

One would hardly expect to hear of
a camel being an object of public at
traction in Egypt. That such is the
case, however, is vouched for by the
Egyptian Gazette. "The ship of the
DESERT" or the one-humped drome-
Diary, is very common in the streets of
Cairo and other parts of the Nile
country, but when the geological gar
den at Ghizeh secured a specimen of
the two-humped Bactrian camel there
was indeed a sensation.
The double-decked ship of the des-
ert was the most interesting animal
in the menagerie to the native Egyp-
tian who had been familiar all his life
with the one-humped variety.
Strange as it may seem, this particu-
lar specimen was bred and secured
from the Rotterdam geological gar
dens, where the well-known Swiss nat
uralist, DR.. Buettikofer, is rearing the
species with success.
What the dromedary is to Sahara's
parched sands, says the Philadelphia
Record, the Bactrian camel is to the
dreary stretches of Asia. AS the
dromedary may be ikened to the swift
and safe passenger ship, so may the
patient Bactrian beast be referrerd to
as the slower but all the more impor-
tant deeply laden merchantmen, for
centuries on centuries, generation
after generation, these patient crea-
lures have been transporting the
wealth of China, farther India and the
orient generally to Russia and thence
throughout the occident.

RED. BLACK OR BLONDE.
IAaEination, But Red-He1ae4
q Get the Good Marks.

Some curious statistics relating to
hair have been collected by the school
authorities at Lille. It is found that
auburn-haired boys are generally at
the head of the recitation classes, and
blonde girls come out highest as arith-
meticians. But in composition they
are nowhere, says the London Ex-
press.
The dark-haired children OF both
sexes have the quality of imagination,
and in their compositions know how
not to fatigue the attention, and al
compared to the auburn and blondes
are born stylists.
dare say the auburn boys and
blond lasses in the Lille elementary
schools are of Flemish-that is to say,
phlegmatic-race. Their brains do
not grow at once congested when they
stand up to recite, and for that reason
they keep the mastery of the vocal or
gans. In short, they continue to know
what they are about. The dark chill
dren are probably of Celtic-that is to
say, Gallic-origin. The blood comes
with a rush to their brains, and they
grow confused, splutter and break
down. If they could only be Taught to
remain silent for a few moments they
would be all the better for this rush,
as the confusion would have passed
away, leaving only stimulated mental
organs.
Finally, on the subject of hair, says
writer in Truth, am sorry to say
that the red-headed boys and girls In
the Lille schools are at the bottom in
everything, save in good conduct
marks. Nor are they remarkable for
good health. The dark boys behave
better than the auburn or the fair, and
are more sensitive to praise or blame.

short, slow, and heavy of tread, and
yet obviously anxious to appear spry

spare and active, and only gave token
of advanced years by the business
with which he busted the car seat
before settling down to his morning

AS the crowd thinned out at Park

each other and the tall one moved

SEEK STATEHOOD
Republicans of Hawaii Will Ask Admis-

Honolulu, Sept. I7.-7:4s a. m.-The
republicans of the five counties compris-
ing the commonwealth OF Hawaii have
met in convention to nominate candidates
for the various county Offices which are
to be filled by ballot on November 3, the
election being the first to be held under
the new county government act.
The various conventions nominated
mixed tickets, the natives running well
with the whites in the contests for places
on the tickets.
The various platforms express approval
Of the administration Of Governor Dole,
and recommendations are made that a
strong fight be made OH the floor of the
next national congress for the admission
Of the Hawaiian islands to statehood.
Several of the platforms urge that de-
termined effort be made to secure more
liberal federal appropriations for the Ha-
waiian islands, much work of necessary
character being neglected in the islands
for lack of means to properly carry it on.

Berlin. Sept. I7.--Ihc military occupa-
ton of Macedonia by Russia and Austria
is thought here to he the only cXpcdient
efficient to prevent war between Turkey
arl Bulgaria. This suggestion does not
o ginate in Berlin.
1t reached here some days ago, as an
'nquiry from Vienna to the foreign office
as to what Germany thought Of the two
powers intervening. such intervention TO
be barely long enough TO restore order
and reorganize the Turkish conslabulary
The inquiry, it was assumed, rested upon
4 Russian-Austrian agreement. The idcn-
teal question will probably be put 10 all
the signatory powers 10 the Berlin treaty.
The German reply appears TO have been
considered affirmative. Since the territory
to he occupied was Turkish, Turkeys con
sent ought TO be secured.
Germany then would have no objections.
But Turkey has not agreed to this. the
reason put forward being that Turkey
prestige is endangered, the insurrcction
having gone too far for Turkey to with
draw.
She has been told size must put down
the uprising promptly and was doing so. 1t
was now nearly stamped out and the porte
felt entirely competent to finish the work,
and also to defend itself against Bulgarian
aggression.

This mornings session was almost en-

by government experts in irrigation and
forestry, headed by their chief. Secretary

Mr. Ncwlands remarked that one Of the
difficulties in framing the national irrga-

of the arid states which had already placed
their systems of irrigation under the di-
rection OF state boards OF control and
state engineers to yield on any legisla-

He then described the working Of the
Nevada laws which secured the amplest

entire control of the government, while the
