= Uses of the Camel.

The Somali camel will 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 il: and when
shoots and leaves are withered it can
fall back on roots, thorns and bark
That sort of digestion makes it, 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 especial virtue
While the Arab camel needs drink
daily, 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 con-
dition of the grass. the herds when the
grass is green being often left without
water for as long as three months.

tion in London once, when asked if
he had time to be introduced to some
ladies. Time to be introduced to la
dies?" came the gallant retort, Il
would have time for that if / were on
a cavalry charge" Another story, told
by the same correspondent, quotes the
generals comment upon seeing the
picture of ''Napoleon's Coronation" at
Versailles, where the Emperor takes
the crown from the Pope after he has
blessed il. and, first placing it upon his
own head, then places it upon Jose
phine's. saying Josephine, l crown
