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

How Javanese Settle Qunrrels.

The Javanese manner of settling
quarrels is quite original w en- one
man has offended another the INJURED
party gives notice that he is anSHy by
drawing in the sand before the door
of the offender circle with straight
line across it, indicating that his at
lection, which would have been eter-
nal, has been cut in two. Friends Of
both parties then shut them up. They
parley awhile, then pretend to be born
again, prattle as little children and final
ly as men become reconciled and EN-.
brace. Should one be refractory and
refuse to be conciliated he is ostracized
by the community so effectually that
he is soon brought to terms. 1t is Just
possible that our enlightened citizens
might consider this method better than
knockdown arguments and certainly
much cheaper than going to law.

He was Il new waiter in down

behind the cold lunch counter to eat

The Defiant Tomato.

ut has happened to me several
times in my life" says Thomas L.
Watson in Bethany, "to be arrested,
convicted and sentenced to dine with
other well dressed convicts, male and
female, at swell dinner-one of those
formal functions where solemn fun
kies bring you one thing only to eat at
a time. When you have pecked awhile
at that one thing, whatever it may be,
solemn fiunkies take it away and bring
you another plate and some other thing
to peck at awhile.
Sometimes it happens that this one
thing is big, defiant looking tomato.
To sit in ones chair, gazing at the
last course which the 1unky has just
put on; to realize that this entire
course consists of a solitary tomato,
looking fiercely red and raw; to glance
along the table and to realize that all
the convicts, male and female, have
one tomato apiece and are trying to
look cheerfully at the convict boss
the host-has overwhelmed me every
time it got the chance. The scene is
heartrending.

As the result of experiments in cross
ing sweet corn the New Jersey expert
ment station announces the production
of Il new variety to be known as the
Voorhees, sweet corn, the director of
the station having consented to this
use of his name. This variety is a
cross of the Mexican, black corn, and
the Egyptian, white or amber, which
results in beautiful pink when the
ears are picked green for cooking and
red when mature. Mexican is varie-
ty of superior quality. while Egyptian
has both great productiveness and
high quality and is a leading variety
for canning purposes.
For the Voorhees, are claimed the
good qualities of both parents, to which
is added the pink color attractively
present when the corn is prepared for
the table.
The Voorhees, sweet corn is offered
for distribution by the experiment sta
ton to the people of New Jersey.
Each packet contains twenty-five
grains and will be sent free to any adj
dress within the state until the stock,
a thousand packets or so, is exhausted.
1t is suggested that only those send in
their names who are quite certain of a
suitable place to grow corn.

Father and Daughter.

Is there any fairer relationship in the
wide world than this between father
and young daughter? Its only rivals
are the ties between mother and son,
mother and daughter and father and
son. To the budding womanhood that
skips and pranks beside him the settled
man of affairs betrays the shy chivalry
that, so long as he retains the inno-
cence of his affections, nestles at his
heart. For her he remembers again
the gallant days of his youth; he quotes
poetry, brings out for her amused and
affectionate inspection dreams and
hopes long laid by In the cedar chests
of memory For her sake he goes
again into society, consents to dress for
dinner, is careful Of his manners and
his speech. The graces of life trail
Into his consciousness with the soft
swish of her lengthening skirts.-- Har-

In the old mystic books of the an
clients it is found that they believed in
the power of precious stones to bring
good fortune through planetary affini
ties Of certain days. They imagined
that gems as well as metals were pro-
duced through the chemical operations
of the planets working secretly in the
body of the earth. Therefore certain
stones must be worn on certain days
of the W elk for good luck.
The table of stones as given by the
Hermetic brethren is as follows:
Sunday, the suns day, gold and all
yellow stones.
Monday, the moons day, pearls and
all white stones except diamonds.
Tuesday, Mars or Tyr's day, rubies.
Wednesday, Woden's day. sapphires
and all blue stones.
Thursday. Thor's day, garnet and all
red stones except rubies.

Animals That Shed Tears.
Humboldt states that he had a mon

filed with tears when it was prevented
from getting some coveted object or

third case OF monkey from Borneo

frequently observed to cry when griev-

always been cautioned not to give in

dictum. Yet in this case there was
curious, half wild look in the woman's
eyes, as though she were enduring
some strain almost beyond her strength,
and Miss Mallory felt her sympathies
quicken. Roland Humason would give
his money. He never refused to help
a woman even while he laughed at
himself for a ,credulous simpleton.

MAGIC IN ZUNl TRIBE.
Priest Apparently Lifted "a jug at
Water With IA Feather.

THE most startling feat ever saw"
said man who had made a study of
Indians in various parts of the United
States for his own ediication was
performed by the priests of the Zunt
tribe in Arizona, or, as they were cali
ed, The Ancients of Creation They
seat themselves in circle on the clay
floor around a jar that will hold per
haps gallon, an ancient and sacred
earthen vessel, which is filled with wa.
ter. The chief priest carries in his hand
two ordinary eagle feathers, which are
tied together at the quill ends so that
they make fork. Behind the circle
of the priests are other members of the
tribe and the musicians with their
drums and gourds, who join in tina
chants with emotion.
1.-THE incantationS continue for sew
eral hours, and when the participants
and spectators are brought up to 4
proper pitch of excitement the priesr
dips the feather tips into the water
lifts the jar with them and holds it sus.
pended for minute or two at height
level with his face or breast. Then he
lowers it slowly to the ground. This
feat is repeated several times during
the performance. Apparently there is
nothing in the hands of the priest but
the feathers, and they appear to be in
serted into the mouth of the jar only
two or three inches. OF course there is
some trick about it, but l was never
able to discover it"-Seattle Post-ID-
