"A String OF Good Stories
BEWARE THE oAME1-HE BITES.
'Icannof fell how flo truth may b.:
say the tale as twas told to me-"

THE camel is dangerous animal to ride-a much
more dangerous animal than the horse-for tho
that, with his serpentine neck he can reaeh
around when annoyed and bite his rider.
Camels not at all the patient, quiet, kindly crea-
lures they painted. They have nasty tempers. a
caravan, crossing the desert always noisy; the loud
and angry snas Of the camels make the waste places
resound
A camel's bite is serious matter The strong
teeth lock in the wound and circular motion is given
to the jaw around and then back before the teeth
withdrawn again. The wound is horrible There
are few camel-drivers without camel scars.
Dr. Nachtigal, the celebrated African explorer, once
said to youth who expressed sentimental desire
cross the Sahara on camelback: a
Young man. / III tell you how you can get par
tial idea of what riding camel in an African deseH
is like Take office STOOL screw it up as high Il
possible, and put it; along with savage dog into
wagon without any springs. Then seat yourself OF
the stool, and have it driven rocky
ground during the hottest parts of July and August,
being careful not to eat drink than once every
two days, and letting the dog bite You every four
hours This will give you faint idea of the exquist
poetry of eamel-riding in the Sahara

With sugar, syrup bottled for use, and
the various fruits which are available
at this season Of the year, it is not a
difficult matter to quickly make a
punch or lemonade with variations
which is not both cooling and delicious,
without recourse to liquors or wines.
Syrup, says Good Housekeeping, is es-
sential both as a time-saver and as a
preventative of that crude flavor which
necessarily results when = the fruit
juices and the raw, sugar are mixed,
and not permitted to stand at least
twelve hours. The sugar, whether made
into syrup or allowed to stand. with the
fruit juices, becomes chemically
changed, and unless this change is
made, a smooth blend is never secured.
-Four cups Of sugar should be used to
four cups Of water in making the
syrup, and after boiling for ten min
utes, it may be strained and bottled
for future use. It is well to make
eight cups at a time and to keep il. a
cool, dark place, where it need not
spoil Should a thin growth Of mold
appear: on the top, heat and strain thru
cheesecloth and bottle as before.
For mint punch, remove from one
dozen sprigs of mint all the bruised
leaves which give rank flavor. In a
quart jar shake a cup Of crushed ice

CLEANING WITH GASOLINE

There is a widespread fear Of gaso-
lene as cleaning fluid. Yet there is
no reason why, with proper care, any
woman may not use this combustible
fluid with perfect safety to clean gloves
and laces and ribbons.
In this day of white gloves and SCOT,
a can of gasolene is an Indispensable
adjunct to every house, tho in many
cities stringent laws forfeit insurance
if it is kept indoors. In buying it is
convenient to purchase a gallon at a
time, always asking for the cleansing
fluid.
There is a right and a wrong way
Of cleaning, and direful streaks are
the result of the latter. AS the gloves
are the most frequent articles cleaned,
it is well to know exactly how to treat
them.
Take little bowl-one of the small
yellow ones to be found in. every
kitchen answers very well - put sew

A DOG TAILOR

An English girl with desire for
pin money and O. bump of originality
has taken advantage of the society
woman 5 fancy for dressing up her dog
and is making name for herself at
dog tailoring. The pampered dog OF
fashion has complete trousseau, with
all sorts Of coats and collars and blan-
skets, and this clever young woman has
become quite the monitress of fashion
able dogdom. It is she who conceived
the idea Of having the sdog IS satin bow
to match his mistress gown, and her
jaunty coats Of leather, tweed and fur
are enough to make the neglected
little tramp cur howl with envy His
tory does not relate whether the ca
nine customers appreciate their tailor
as much as do their mistresses, but as
vanity is no uncommon quality amsng
animals, no doubt they admire their
smart clothes immensely, altho they
certainly must rejoice that shoes are no
longer en- reggie and that he is allowed
to walk at ease upon the cushions ma
ture provided without falling heir to
the foot discomforts that the human
suffers from.

WHAT WOMEN SHOULD KNOW

To remove stains on blankets and
other white wooden goods, use a mixture
Of equal parts of glycerin and yolk of
egg. Spread it ON the stain, leave it
for half an hour, then wash the article
as usual. --
The upper parts Of WORKOUT boots
make excellent iron holders:t The
leather needs only thin covering SO
that it does not soil the hand, which
it Will protect from heat far better
than would an iron holder made in
the ordinary way. T. ~a.
To clean alabaster, remove ordinary
dirt by washing with soap and water;
but if any part is stained, wash it with
soap and water, cover it with whiting
and leave it for some hours. Then
wash off the whiting and rub the part
where the stains were.
& If the moths have gotten into the
carpet it must be taken up, thoroly
shaken and dressed witha fatiron as
hot as it will bear without scorching.
Then literally sprinkle the floor where
it is to lie with spirits Of turpentine,
pouring it into any cracks there may
be between the boards.
To clean copper kettle, first rub it
with a cut lemon dipped in powdered
bath brick. When all stains are re:
moved, wash it in warm, soapy water,
then dry and polish it with powdered

order for Countess Cora in Paris, and
cost a pretty penny, spurious tho they
are. Fairy lamps alone are used in the
boudoir, and the play Of light from the
.opalescent shades thereof to the soft
surfaces of the pearls on their argent
and-azure background is described as
one Of the most exquisite effects to be
seen in any home in England. The
countess always was luxurious in her
tastes, even before she became the
bride of rich Mr.: Kennard-her third
husband, by the way. When she was a
girl in New Orleans she had one Of the
parental drawing rooms lined with
prismatic mirrors for dance she gave
for a debutante friend. The room was
lighted exclusively with the glow OF
thousands of.frefies, which an army Of
pickaninnies had spent two nights in
collecting. It was easy enough, after
the flies were caught, for the windows
were blocked with invisible gauze and
the room was entered thru double
swinging doors paneled with the same
material, SO the cleaning insects could
not escape.
