Lrinr on th. nlrht sIds.

When a patient complains of a bad tnste in bis mouth every morning on waking up. says a physician, the hrsi question ask him is as to the position he assumes when going to sleep. An immense number Of people Sleep on the left side. and this is the most common cause of the unpleasant taste which IS generally attributed to dyspepsia. lf a meal had been taken within two or three hours of going 10 bed. to sleep on the left side Is to give the stomach Q task which 1t ls difficult in the extreme to perform. The student Of anatomy knows that all food enters and leaves tbe stomach on the right side, and hence sleeping on the left side soon after eating involves a sort of pump
 Ing operation which s anything but conducive 10 sound repose. The action of the heart Is also iEterfered with considerably. and the lungs are unduly compressed. It ls probable that lying on the back is the most natural pos.
 tiou. but few men can rest easily SO. and hence it Is best to cultivate the habit of sleeping on the right side li is very largely a matter of ha0it and the sooner it Is acquired the better.

Camel Carriages.

Camel carriages are not common conveyances in most partu of lndla. but on the great trunk road leading to Delhi they are frequently to be seen. They are large, double story wagons. drawn sometimes by one. sometimes by two or even three camels, accord Ing to their size. Iron bars which give them a cageHke appearance were orig iuaIlv intended as defense against robbers. and the carts were probably also used for the conveyance Of prls. oners. "The most picturesque proper ty' of the Punjab government' says John Lockwood Dipling.

 In Central America there lives tho a,bber crab ot almost ucredlbl eize ind somewhat resembling huge spi fer. The distance between It's extend cd claws is sometimes as great as twelve feet. 1t spends the greater part of its life on land and climbs the cocoa- nut trees. on the fruit of which it lives almost entirely. It digs in the ground 6eep tunnels and lines them with CO., coanut dber
 When engaged the robber crab can break a mans limb with It's powerful claws Animals approaching it too closely often receive an ugly pinch which they do not soon forget and it ls on record that one of these crabs has captured and tried to drag Off goat.
 To open a eocoanut the robber crab removes the bark from the end con- taining the three eyes, one only of which is easily penetrated, and, having found this. it revolves the nut against the point of one of Its spindle legs un tiI the opening Is large enough for it to Insert It's great claw.

"There is more work being done in the Klondike this winter than there was last year, and the spring cleanup win be much greater" Such were the words of E.

 Many good big dumps have already been taken out on the Klondike creeks this year and more men are being worked than were last year. Every body feels that there is going to be a good year"
 'If sufficient water shall be provided by 1ature, the output of the Klondike win be greater this year than it has been for a Hong time, .or4Ismiss my guess"
 To speaking of the White river 9ls- trict, Mr. LaFrance said:
 A dist-ica that will fool many peo- pie this year is that of White river There are Iully POO men working in

 As man grows older be Perceives that the moral qualities are worth a good deal more in friendship than the intellectual qualities and that no bril- llancy of mind no charm of conversa- ton. can make up for lack of loyalty, charity and generosity in socioi inter course. Young men of brains are dis posed to value mainly mental power h other people. and it is a human quality to forgive much in men and women of genius This is a false ap- Ureciation Of the respective values or mentality and the moral qualities.
