THE CAMEL.
He Has "a Dangerous Temper, AMI
His Bite Is Vicious.

He Has a Dangerous Temper, and
His Bite Is Vicious.
The camel is a dangerous animal to
ride-a much more dangerous animal
than the horse-fOr the reason that,
with his serpentine neck, he can reach
round when annoyed and bite his rider.
Camels are not at all the patient,
quiet, kindly creatures they are paint
ed. They have nasty tempers. A cara
van crossing the desert is always noisy.
The loud and angry snarls of the cam
els make the waste places resound.
A camePs bite is a serious matter
The strong teeth lock in the wound and
a circular motion is given to the jaw,
around and then back, before the teeth
are withdrawn again. The wound is
a horrible one There are few camel
drivers without camel scars.
Dr.. Nachtigal, the celebrated African
explorer, once said to a youth who ex-
pressed a sentimental desire to cross
the Sahara on camel back:
Young man, I'll tell you how you
can get partial idea of what riding a
camel in an African desert is like
Take an office stool, screw it up as
high as possible and put it along with
a savage dog into a wagon without any
springs. Then seat yourself on the
stool and have it driven over uneven
and rocky ground during the hottest
parts of July and August, being care
full not to eat or drink more than once
every two days and letting the dog bite
you every four hours. This will give
you a faint idea of the exquisite poetry
of camel riding in the Sahara. st

GUlMARD, THE SPIDER.
The Great Dancer of the Great Day
nf

The Great Dancer of the Great Days
OF the Ballet.
The elder Vestris, who f1ourished in
the middle of the eighteenth century,
called himself the god of dancing"
and declared In all sincerity and with
out rebuke that his century had pro-
duced but three supreme men-himself,
Frederick the Great and Voltaire. On
one occasion when reproving his son
Augustus for refusing to dance before
the king Ct Sweden at the request Of
the king of France he said that he
would not tolerate any misunderstand-
ing between the houses of Festris and
Bourbon, which had lived hitherto upon
the most friendly terms.
Madeleine Guimard made her debut
when she was thirteen years of age
and for nearly thirty years kept all
Paris worshiping at her feet. This
was success of art and not of beauty,
for Guimard was so aggressively thin
that she was known as the spider"
She discovered the great painter David.
who helped Fragonard to adOrn her
house with frescoes. Indeed, FragO-
nard, for whose paintings today fabu-
lOus sums have been paid, lost his COM
mission because he dared to fall in
love with his patron. Guimard had
theater in her own house, and her en-
tertainments there were deemed eX-
| travagant in an age of luxury. Paris
could not spare her to London until she
was past her fortieth year. She was
| a sort of boudOir adviser to Marie An
toinette, and so great was the esteem
in which she was held that one of the
most distinguished sculptors of the
day nodded her foot, and when her
arm was broken in a stage accident
mass for her speedy recovery was cele-
| brated at NOtre Dame. - Macmillan's

THE OCCASIONAL DRlNkER.

General Fred ID. Grant has re-
Gently given an interview in which
he points out the danger that be,
sets a man who INDUCES in strong
drink to even a moderate extent,
says the Savannah Press. Gener-
al Grant takes the position that it
is impOss1 bic to drink moderately
and attend to ones affairs as they
should be attended to. He de-
clares that the hard drinker is
safer man in the army than the
moderate drinker; safer from the
fact that he is never entrusted
with an important commission,
and therefore never disappoints.
Upon the other hand the man
who drinks occasionally is given
these important assignments and
probably falls down at the crucial
moment because he resorts to a
stimulant to steady his nerves.
THERE'S no man in America adds
the Press, who is better able to
judge of the effects of drink than
General Grant.
He says himself that he was of
ten tempted at West Point to in
dulge in intOxicants because it was
considered distinction to take a
drink with the son of General
Grant of the Union army. He
reached the point where he drank
some: He left West Point to
meet thousands of men who fought
nnder his father and he drank with
them-some. His appointment as
minister to Austria, where the
customs of the country and the of
fetal position he occupied caused
him to drink more. He tried to
drink with moderation, but found
it impossible.
To drink with one man was to
offend the next with whom he re-
| fused to drink.
He could not plead that he only
drank at certain hours or under
certain conditions. The fact that
he INDUCED at all compelled him
to drink on every occasion or oc.
cupy an absurd position. For this
reason, and convinced that moder-
crate drinking was practically i'm
possible, General Grant became a
teetotaller, and is one yet.
He doesn't let liquor come into
his house now.
The result has been that his
friends do not expect him to take
a drink anywhere or at any time.
He has found that when man can
say he never drinks he does not
offend and is never urged to drink.
His acquaintance respect his de-
termination to let the stuff alone.
The Press thinks the experience
of General Grant is probably that
of every other man who has start
ed out with the set purpose not to
indulge in the use of intOxicants.
When men for whose opinion he
cares a rap find that he never
drinks; when it is discovered that
his answer to an invitation to i'm
bibe is always polite no, they
stop inviting him and think the
more of him for his fortitude. 1t
is the man who drinks occasional
ly that offends when he refuses,
and who fails W hen the best work
is expected of him.
General Grants reasons for be-
ing a total abstainer are sound
and many young men could profit
from reading them.

The Marriage Knot,

A good deal is heard of the marriage
knot" but very few of US realize that
the knot was ever anything more than
a figure Of speech. Among the Baby
lonians tying the knot was part of the
marriage ceremony, says Home Chat.
The priest took thread from the gar
ment of the bride and another from
that Of the bridegroom and tied them
into q knot, which he gave to the bride,
thus symbolizing the binding nature of
the union which now existed between
herself and her husband.
