no other animal could have possibly
endured.
Then came a change in the admin
istration, which was not very favor
able to the camel corps idea. New Of
ficers who knew scarcely anything OF
animals were sent to take charge of
the herds. Shortly afterward came the
Civil war and the camels were forgot
ten. Some of the animals escaped into
the desert, where they increased to
certain extent and ran wild in small
herds, striking terror to the hearts of
the Indians, who were very much
afraid of them. Many strange tales
are told of their presence in different
parts of the southwestern country.
A number fell into the hands of the
south during the war, and because the
soldiers lacked knowledge of the
proper care and handling of camels
many of the herd became diseased
and died.
AS late as 1876 camels were used in
Nevada and Arizona, but they after
wards disappeared. Many believe that
had the project been carried out
as it was started the camel corps of
the United States army would today
be the equal of any in the world.
1t now remains to be seen what this
latter-day camel project will bring
forth. The idea has been thought out
from purely commercial standpoint
and so with American brains, money
and determination behind it, it is safe
to say it will succeed. The promoters
of this enterprise are western men of
experience who are giving no public
ity to their plans and the "Ships of
the Desert" will, in all probability, be
brought into this country consigned to
a we'll known animal trainer, who sup
plies geological parks and circuses, so
in this way the public will be none the
wiser until the camel corps is in oper-
alton on the American Sahara.-Car-

Color of liaht.

That veteran of the brush, Holman
Hunt, has been painting nearly 60
ye5's and the exhibition of his art
which is now being held in London
shows how versatile are his talents.
But Mr.. Hunt is a slow worker; time
is no object when he has picture
in hand, many of his more famous
works having taken him several
years to complete. His greatest pic
ture is "The Light of the World" now
at Keble college, Oxford, and before
painting it he was so cautious to be
accurate in detail that he went so
far as to experiment with moonlight
by procuring an enormous lens and
focusing the moonlight through a
stained-glass window onto glass
sheet. The result was a golden vel
low light which several of the great
est painters of the period declared
to be impossible, among them Sir
John Millais, until Mr.. Hunt under
took to repeat the experiment in his
presence.

CARE IN BOILING RICE.
Things to Remember IT You Would
Get the Best Results.

Never set rice to cook in cold water,
or you will have a thick, mushy dish,
most unpleasant to the sight and
equally so to the taste.
Always use boiling water. Boil rap
idly from the time you cover the pot
until you take it off. Constant motion
of water, allowing each grain to swell
to three times it's size, prevents stick
ing together.
Do not stir from the moment 1t be-
gins to boil for it will be noticed that
when first rice is put into the water,
the water will cease boiling until the
rice is heated. Stir occasionally DUR
ing this period to keep from sinking
to the bottom and burning, but do not
touch with a spoon, fork or anything
once it has commenced boiling.
Follow implicitly the directions
about setting in oven and allowing
rice ito sweat" as the old Creoles
say.
You will then have a dish that Is
not only very beautiful and tempting
to the sight, but most delectable to
the taste.

Preserved Grapes.

Grapes are too seedy, as well as rich
in Juices, to be preserved, excepting
in the form of jam, either plain or
spiced. To prepare the grapes for
these forms of preserving, pick from
the stems, wash and press the pulp
out of the skins. Put skins in one
preserving kettle and the pulp in an
other together with any juice that has
run from the grapes. Let them cook
is or 20 minutes, stirring often; strain
the pulp through a PURGE sieve to re-
move the seeds. Add the cooked skins
to the strained pulp, then measure.
To every pint of the fruit allow a
pound of sugar. Cook until quite
thick, stirring often. Turn into small
lars, or glasses. and seal.

BRIGHT coLoRs ATTRACT BEES.
Honey Gatherers Not Drawn by Nee.
tar or Perfume,

The inquisitive modern investigator
has been prying into the secrets of the
little bee. His curiosity has been re
warded by the discovery that it is the
bright color of the flower and not the
presence of the nectar that attracts
the honey-gatherer. In fact, it is quite
possible to coax the bee away from
dull-colored flowers of nature by arti
fetal flowers of brilliant hues.
AS far as natures flowers are con
cerned, those of the brighter hues al
ways receive more attention than
those Of subdued shades. Moreover
the belief that the perfume of flowers
attracts bees has also been exploded
1t is believed that the attraction exer
cised by the form and color of flowers
is approximately four times as great
as that exercised by perfume, pollen
and nectar taken together.

How to Cure Poaching Cat.

A writer in a sporting contemporary
discusses the cat as a poacher, and
describes the bag of homeless ami
NAL that had litter of kittens in
the hollow of an old elm tree. This
cat appears to have been the scourge
of the. whole countryside, as she kill
ed, to the writer's certain knowledge,
forty young pheasants and partridge
chicks, besides fourteen leverets and
a score of baby rabbits. A cat that
has once entered upon course Of
poaching is far more formidable
offender than any dog, but 1t is not
generally known that there is one
certain cure. This is to crop the ami
malls ears close to the head, so that
the water drips into them off the bush
es as the cat crawls about under the
underground Globe.

Hops In England.

The English people were taught the
cultivation of hops by a native of
Artois, who in 1924 introduced them
into this country, but the physician
represented them as unwholesome,
and Parliament was petitioned against
hops as being wicked weed" In
1928 their use was prohibited under
severe penalties. Henry VIII. appears
to have been prejudiced against hops
for in MS. dated Ethan, January
1853, occurs an injunction to his brew
er mot to put hops or birthstone" into
the ale. In the year 1862 the term
"hop-grounds" first occurs in our laws.
