inqs.

hSos
The Somali camel can eat everything
and drinks nothing. 1t will make a
meal where even the country pony
would starve. Daremo, mimosa, aca-
cia-all come alike to It; and when
shoots and leaves are withered 1t can
fall back on roots, thorns and bark.
That sort Of digestion makes 1t, OF
course, valuable In a country where
the bill Of fare seems compiled in the
interest of the carnivora, but Its indif-
ference to liquid Is its special virtue.
While the Arab camel needs drink dai-
| ly. his Somali brethren when on the
march are watered only every fifth
day. and when drought prevails may
be left for ten. When grazing they are
supposed to be watered every sixth
day. but such regularity depends on the
energy Of the herders and the condition
of the grass, the herds when the grass
is green being often left without water
for as long as three months.
Besides food and carriage the camel
supplies milk-and grateful Indeed
camels' milk can be-water In desper-
ate need, a tent from his skin. glue
from his hoof, and various odds and
ends in the way Of trading from other
parts of him. Camels' milk Is the first
civility offered to stranger on arrival
at a karia-the North African kraal.
It becomes frequently a necessity OF
existence, and two men. as we'll as her
foal, can be kept entirely by the milk
of one camel. If more milk Is required
curious deception Is practiced, to
which the very spasmodic intelligence
of the animal lends itself. The foal Is
killed, and whenever milk Is required
its skin is rubbed against the nostrils
of the mother, who becomes at once
amenable and not only yields her milk,
but will follow the bearer Of the skin
anywhere as meekly as a sheep.
Camels in Somaliland are kept In
great herds sometimes numbering So
900. Such numbers involve wide areas
for grazing and consequent distances
from the few places where water may
be found. The ponies used by the
Somali can also manage without drink
for three or four days and when en-
ployed for herding have like their mas
ters, only camels' milk to quench their
thirst These big herds offer OF course,
tremendous temptation to the raider,
as many as 10000 camels being taken
at a time; and the excitement Of driv-
| ing off such a haul at full gallop for
40 or so miles, with the exasperated
owner possibly hard in pursuit and the
chances Of the raider finding his own
camp has fallen prey to some other
tribal diversion. appeals irresistibly to

and had the feminine satisfaction OF
allowing herself to be thoroughly
frightened.
Is 1t any wonder Mary's gallant but
womanly spirit sank low in the face
Of all those horrors? She held out
bravely. however, and an occasional
clasp from Brandon's hand under cover
Of the darkness comforted her. When
all those terrors would not suggest even
a thought o. turning back, you may

her motive.
They travelled on, galloping whes
they could. trotting when they could
not gallop. and walking when they
must, and about midnight arrived at
the inn where the relay Of horses was
awaiting them.
The inn YVES a rambling old thatched
roof structure, half mud. half wood
and all filth. There are many inns In
England that are tidy enough but this
one was a little off the mail foad-se-
lected for that reason-and the un-
cleanness was not the least Of Mary's
trials that hard night. She had not
tasted food since noon and felt the
keen hunger natural to youth and
health such rs hers after twelve hours
Of fasting and eight hours Of riding.
Her appetite soon overcame her repug-
nance. and she ate with zest that
was new to her the humblest fare that
had ever passed her lips: One often
misses the zest of life's joys by having
too much OF them. One must want
thing before it can be appreciated.

MANNERS IN BUSINESS.

Brains and Good Department Win.
, ming Combination.
The value Of brains in business can
mot be overestimated, Of course. But
neither can the value Of manners.
Don't make the error Of supposing that
brains are everything. You may have
the best set Of brains in the town, but
| If you haven't the manners of gen.
tleman nobody is going to appreciate
you. Your manner Is the. outward In
iication of what you are within, In
the estimate Of most people, and If the
m amer is disagreeable few will take
the trouble to examine into you any
further.
The consensus of general opinion Is
that the man who goes about with
porcupine quills as his manners hasn't
any brains worth bothering about. Did
you never notice that the men who
employ large forces Of intelligent peo-
pie look at an applicant closely, ask
a few seemingly unimportant questions
and promptly employ or dismiss him?
They don't sound his brain depth: they
lon't obtain his biography; they don't
inuuire into his social standing; they
size him up from his manners, and If
he Is brass on the surface they don't
look for gold within.
The employer knows that II an ap-
plicant's manner strikes him faVoraoly
it will also favorably strike people with
whom he comes in contact in his work.
And nobody knows better than a big
business man that favorable first i'm
preston means half the sale. People
are apt to think that If there Is any
place where manners are Of little con-
sequence, it is in business, where cold
calculation so largely takes the place
of feeling. But the truth Is that no.
where else are manners Of such I'M
portance as in everyday dealings.
There Is no capital and equipment any
young man can have that will pay him
better than good manners. There Is
no possible calling for which this does
not better fit him. II he has brains,
the world owes him something, but un-
less he has good manners he will have
a hard time collecting it.-Kansas City
