A CAMEL'S STOMACH.
In Four Compartments 1t Carries
Water to Last q Journey.

In Four Compartments 1t Carries
Water to Last a Journey.
The stomach Of a camel is divided
into no less than four compartments,
and the walls of one of these are
lined with large cells, every n Of
which can be opened and closed at
will by means Of powerful muscles.
Now, when a camel drinks it drinks
Z very great deal. Indeed it goes
drinking on for such a very long time
that really you would think that 1t
never meant to leave OF. But the fact
II that it Is not only satisfying Its
thirst. but is filling up it's cistern as
well. One after another the cells In
its stomach are filled with water, and
~ soon as each is quite full 1t is tight
y closed. Then when the animal be-
comes thirsty a few hours later all
that 1t has to do is to open one OF the
cells and allow the water to flow out.
Next day it opens n or two more
cells. and SO it goes on day after day
until the whole supply is exhausted.
In this curious way a camel can live
ave or even six days without drinking
at all and SO is able to travel quite
easily through the desert, where the
wells are often hundreds OF miles
apart.

Men and Women and Their Attitude
Toward the Mirror.
1t is not always for the mere gratih-
cation Of personal vanity that we
should attentively study our mirrors.
Socrates advised all young people to
look often in their looking glass to as
certain if they were good looking; that
If they were 80 they might strive to
make their mental attachments CORE
spond, and if they were not then they
might endeavor by the superior accom-
plishments of their minds to make up
for their personal shortcomings.
This is excellent advice for vanity
possessed moderns, but it is improba-
BILE hat the high mental attitude of
Socrates is appreciated by them. How
the elaborate toilet Of today could be
accomplished without the aid of the
mirror it is impossible to imagine. 1t
Is popularity supposed that the mirror
is the woman's pet possession, but man
Is by no means averse to contemplate
ing his manly charms as reflected there
in. A oma frankly cOnfesses her in
terest in the alluring combination of
glass and quicksilver, but the man,
while voicing his scorn, proves his SUI
perior vanity by his concealed and Sc
cretive study Of it. He jeers at his
wife's cheval glass. But was anything
more entirely provocative of human
vanity eve invented than the many

The Long cared Bat.

The long cared bat puts itself to bed
In wraps not only OF it's w wings,
but supplemented by the folding of its
own enormous ears. This little British
mammal, the body of which is only
two inches long from the tip of the
nose to the base Of the tail, has the
largest ears. in proportion to its size, of
any animal in the world. They are an
inch and a half long and three-quar-
tiers Of an inch broad, and when their
owner proposes to go to sleep it bends
them outward and then backward,
folding them down on either side Of it's
head and shoulders before bringing up
the wings to cover it's sides. When
waking up it is quite a business for the
little bat to get Its tall ears straight
ened out and into position again. They
remain for some time at half COCK
and then are gradually set up and
erected to serve the animal while

Wilkie Collins Fat villain.

Here is a story that was told by
Hall Game concerning Wilkie Collins:
"The most successful character in "The
Woman In White was not a woman,
but a maD-Fosco, the fat villain.
When the book was produced every
body was talking about the fat villain.
While the author was staying with his
mother a visitor came. The lady said
to Collins:
"'You seem to have made a great
success with your villain in 1.-THE WO-
man In White" l have read the book.
I have studied this villain, but he is not
half a villain. You don't know a real
villain, and the neXt time you want to
do a villain come to me. l am very
close to one. l have got n constantly
In my eye-in fact, it is my own hus-
band!
"Wilkie Collins often told this sto-
ry, but withheld the name of the lady.
It was the wife of Sir Edward Bulwer
Lytton."

The Expression "Great scott!o

Correspondent. of the London Acade-
my have been discussing the origin of
the American expression "Great Scott"!'
One thought 1t arose in some obscure
way from the name Of General Winfield
Scott. Another writes: Surely the con-
nection Of this with General Winfield
Scott, mentioned by your correspond
ent, is doubtful--probably a mere volks-
etomologie Or story invented to account
for q word not otherwise understood.
Russell's Current A~mericanisms' mere

GIN He must have been acquainted
with the Winfield Scott story and (as
he is elsewhere very hospitable to fan

RUSES OF
Devices Used to Either Gain Time or
Inspire

Devices Used to Either Gain Time or
Inspire Confidence.
Some amusing anecdotes are told Of
the devices resorted to by bankers to
gain time and inspire confidence. On
one memorable occasion the excited
subscribers, much to their indignation,
were only able to enter the bank one
by one except lat the cost Of spoiled
coats, as the cute manager had caused
the door posts to be freshly painted.
Another bank prevented a crisis in
its affairs by exhibiting in the win
dows large tubs apparently brimful of
sovereigns. These tubs, however, were
simply upside down and a small guam
tity of gold only piled up on their bot
toms.
Put the most ingenious dodge Of all
was successfully carried out in Buenos
Ayres. There was a run on a large
bank, and for several days subscribers
besieged the premises. withdrawing
money and placing it in another bank
on the opposite side Of the road. 1t
happened, however, that these two in
stitutions had q private understanding,
and as fast as the safe" bank receiv-
ed the deposits they were returned to
the unsafe" one by an underground
passage. with the result that every n
marveled at its continued ability to
meet it's demands.-London News.

Patriotic citizens of the United

proud Of what President Roosevelt
has achieved in bringing about CON
dition Of peace between Russia and
Japan. He automatically stepped
in at the proper time, offered the good
will Of the United States to two war
ring nations in a diplomatic way, and
seems to have practically brought
about a cessation of hostilities.
This one act may mean the saliva
ton of tens Of thousands Of lives,
millions of dollars in money, and
priceless property, for up 70 the time
President Roosevelt rendered his
good offices, no move had been made
towards peace, and the wanton and
cruel progress Of a modern warfare
was uninterrupted in all its terror
and destructiveness.
| And the world recognizes 1t as 3
great coup of diplomacy, and Presi
dent Roosevelt as one of the world
truly great men. While few Euro

him, vast majority all over tht
