and ride my jackass, but | told him we
had left the stepladder back at Cairo so
dad hung to his mountainous steed, but
the dust blew SO you couldn't see, and il
was getting monotonous when thu
queerest thing happened.
You have heard that camels can fill up
with water and go for week without
asking for any more. Well, guess the
week was up, and it was time to load TIE
camels with water, for as we came to
the Nile every last camel made rush
for the river, and they went in like q
yoke of oxen on stampede, and waded
in clear up to the humps, and began {.
drink. and dad yelled for life preservel

going to marry an Egyptian woman,
would take her to Norway, or up to-
wards the north pole, where it is night
all Gay, and you wouldn't realize that
you were married to a colored woman
To be around among these Egyptians is
a good deal like having pass behind
the scenes at the play of Ben Hur in New
York, only here the dark and dangerous
women are the real thing, instead Of
being white girls with black paint on.
We have just got back from the pyra-
mids, and dad is being treated for spinal
meningitis, on account Of riding camel.
| never tried harder to get dad to go
anywhere on the cars than did to get
him to so to the pyramids by rail, as a
millionaire should, but he said he was
going to break camel to the saddle,
and then buy him and take him home
for side show. So we went down to
the camel garage, and hired camel for
dad, and four camels for the arabs and
things he wanted for an escort, and a
jackass fer me. There were automobiles
and carriages. and trolleys, and every
thing that we could have hired, and
been comfortable for the ten-mile ride,
but dad was mashed on the camel, and
he got it.
Well, sir, it was not one of these
worlds fair camels that lay down for
you to get on, and then got UP on the
installment plan, and chuck you for
ward and aft but proud Egyptian
camel that stands up straight and
makes you climb up on stepladder.
Dad got along up the camels ribs
when the stepladder fell, and he grabbed
hold of the hair on the two humps. and
the humps were loose and they Topped
over on the side, and it must have hurt
the camel's feelings to have his humps
pulled down, so lie reached around his
head and took mouthful out of the seat
of dads pants, and dad yelled to the
camel to let go, and the Arabs amputat-
ed the camel from dads trousers, and
pushed dad up on top with bamboo
pole with crotch in it, and when dad
got settled between the humps he said
Let er CO." and we started.
Dad could have had camel with a
platform on top, and an awning, but he
insisted on taking his camel raw, anC
he sat there between those humps. his
trousers worked up towards his knees
showing his red socks and blue drawers
and his face got pale from sea sickness
and the red, white and blue colors made
me think of fourth of July at home
We went out of town like wild wes
show, and dad seemed happy, excep
that every time an automobile wen
whizzing along, dads camel got tn,
jumps and waltzed sideways, out into
the sandy desert, and chewed at dads
socks, SO part of the time dad had t.
draw up his legs and sit on one hump
and put his shoes on the other hump
The Arabs on the other camels woui,

back into the road, by sticking SHARP
sticks into the camel, and the ANNA

instantly and became master of the sit

Then turning household affairs over

How to Preserve Eggs.

Silicate of soda, commonly called
"water glass weighs about l0-pounds
to the gallon, is s!rupy looking liquid
and costs us, in gallon lots, seven cents
per pound, at Nashville, although somt
correspondents state that they bu! il
for fifty cents a gal on. We use one
part of the water glass and nine part
of soft water, SO that one gallon OF
water glass makes ten gallons OF sou-
ton ready for use and this quantity l.
enough to preserve about fifty dozen
eggs. Clean stone jars are used II
pack the eggs in. The jars are palce'
in cool cellar, are partly filled Will
the solution and strictly fresh eggs are
put in from day to day as they are
gathered, adding more Of the solution
from time to time until the jar is full.
We put no doubtful eggs in: they must
be absolutely fresh.

! H. s. Demming Of the Bank 4
Santa Cruz took a whirl at the roulette
wheel the other day and after losing
his ready money he began betting on
his jaw bone. He lost $1,000 and gave
his check for the amount on the Crock
er Woolworth Bank. Then he hoped
around to the bank and stopped the
check. The court has ordered him to
make good the amount.
The men who try to win some othe-
mans money and then stop checks
when they lose are the most miserable
class of welchers in existance.
They are generally leading business
men and people who are supposed to
belong to the ultra respectable and
honorable class.

Down on SuIly,

The reentry of Daniel J. Sully into the
the cotton market as a bull has stirred
up cotton spectators both in New Or
leans and New York, especially in the
latter city where he formerly held sway
as the main factor in the bull operations
which carried the price of cotton to Is
cents a little more than a year ago. Mr..
Sully's first activity after being released
from bankruptcy a week ago was direct
ed against Theodore III. Price, the bear
leader, and his followers who for months
have hammered prices down with a per-
sistency that was remarkable to say the
least. The result of this activity on
Mr.. Sully's part, according to the stories
sent out from New York, vas the COM
plete routing of Mr.. Price who was
forced to buy something like 100000
bales of cotton at a greatly enhanced
value. This defeat of the bears just at
a time when they felt confident that the
farmer would soon begin unloading his
holdings rapidly made the bear specula-
tors mad as a hornet, and as the bears
predominant in the New York market
war on Sully started Immediate
ly, as the following article in the New
York Herald shows. 1t also shows that
the feeling in New York against the Elk
Bull leader is running rather high:
Cotton brokers, members Of the New
York cotton Exchange, are becoming
alarmed at the publicity attending the
market operation of their former asso.
ciate and fellow member, Daniel J
Sully, and have sent word broadcast
that Mr.. Sully, the deposed cotton king
is no longer a member Of that body
Official announcement was made yester
day at the Exchange to this effect, will
the request that publicity be given the
fact. No secret is made Of the hostilit,
Of the bulk of the members to the lat
leader Of the cotton market, and TIL
promise is made that he will never again
become a member.

The Establishment of Easter.
(The Pilgrim for April.)

The Pilgrim for April)
THE festival of Easter is to be cele-
brated on the Sunday following the first
full moon after the beginning of spring"
Therefore, if the moon becomes full
upon the day on which spring begins,
the Sunday after the next full moon is,
Of course indicated by the directions Of
the Council as Easter day. And if the
moon becomes full on a Sunday, the next
Sunday similarly, must be Easter day.
The history of this controversy re-
speeding the date of Easter which the
Nicaean Council happily settled, in
cludes a number Of diverting anecdotes
based upon the Discrimination Of differ
ent people to accept even the Councils
rulings.
A story is told of a European Of prom
inence who celebrated Easter every
year on the very same day on which his
wife celebrated Palm Sunday. Another
story is told Of a devout old couple in
Germany who refused to abide by a new
Church decree relative to Easter. The
decree altered the date, and on the day
on which they had always attended the
Easter services the old people walked
from their home to the church. They
found the church closed and no Easter
service in progress. The old gentleman
beat upon the door with his stout stick
and demanded admittance, and when
there was no response from the uninhab'
tied church, the old people retraced
their steps to celebrate Easter at home,
Naturally the most magnificent and
imposing celebration Of Easter is that
which takes place in st. Peters at
Rome.
