The Denraxed Camel.

"Any ordinary horse on the street
might well feel insulted at being named
in the same class as q domestic ami
NAL with that four legged impassiye
vehicle, the camel" writes q traveller
Fidelity in a camel does not exist. An
artist might as we'll depict a devoted
crocodile fondling a lost child as a
faithful dromedary standing over the
corpse Of it's fallen master. Lockwood
Kipling touched the core of the matter
when ne avowed that a man might as
reasonably lavish his affection on a
baggage wagon. In short, the camel is
an unredeemed boOr, more british than
a mule, less sensible Of endearment
than even of extremes of temperature
and weather. It's virtues are of the
body, its great endurance compensating
for a mental and moral depravity that
must be labeled nothing short Of
amazing"

Three Kinds of Men

Here is a classification of men ex-
pounded by spinster in an article,
THE Truth About Man" Men as a
whole" she says, may be roughly di-
vided into three distinct species-the
bold, the shy and the tough" The
first class includes chose self assured
males" who fall in and out of love
with every other woman they meet;
the second class is made up Of 'the
worlds good fellows who have a great
reverence for all women and silently
adore one for life without telling her
so," and the third species lis concerned
only with getting on and making mon
ey, is absolutely Indifferent to women
and marries only as a matter of expe-
diency. The first of these we unhes-
1tat1ngly condemn and find irresistible
the second we admire profoundly
praise without stint and ignore utterly
the third we dislike, despise and-mar-
