Plant Like a Camel.

The nearest thing to camel
among plants is a curious specimen
of the cucumber family which bears
the name of the Ibercillea soborae.
This plant, like the camel, is native
of the desert and it has to go without
water longer than the animal. AS
the rainy season in the desert comes
only once year nature provides the
I. S. with a reservoir tn store up
enough moisture to last it between
times. The organ in which tho water
is stored is located at the base of the
stem. 1t is covered with sort Of
macintosh envelope, through which
the water can neither escape nor evap-
crate. This water holder rests on the
sand throughout the entire period of
drought, but when the rain comes it
springs into activity.

HIS FIRST LITERARY EFFORT.
Not Likely Among the "Six Best
Sellers of That Year.

A party of friends had gathered in
the authors house to congratulate him
on the success of his new book. They
were extravagantly enthusiastic, as
friends are apt to be on such &C.
casions, and the young author was
swelling visibly. The authors mother
beamed. Finally one of the guests
turned to her. Tell me, did your son
show symptoms of literary genius at
an early age? l presume he did, and
you've got some baby effusion treas
ured away" Il have the first letter
he ever wrote me-" said the mother
smiling, "and maybe you'd call it his
first literary effort. He was on a
visit to his grandmother's and he had
never visited her without me before.
But maybe you'd like to hear the let
ter" The guests chorused Yes eag-
erly. The mother produced a crum-
pied envelope and paper and read
slowly: Dear Mama-The dogs is
awful thick here Your loving son."

FIFTY RUPEES EASILY MADE.

An Indian merchant wished to dis

animal, examining it attentively on all
sides. The merchant became very
anxious, for he feared the man had

at the merchant and wonderingly

money than sense, so that he was
easily taken in. When the bargain
was completed and the elephant led
away by its new owner, the merchant
handed the so rupees to the silent
man, saying: Now, want you to

When you have married your wife,
you would think you were got upon a
hilltop, and might begin to go down.
ward by an easy slope. But you have
only ended counting to begin mar
riage. Falling in love and winning
love are often difficult tasks to over
bearing and rebellious spirits; but to
keep in love is also business of some
Importance, to which both man and
wife must bring kindness and good
will. The true love story commences
at the altar, when there lies before
the married pair most beautiful con-
test of wisdom and generosity, and a
lifelong struggle toward an unattain-
able ideal. Unattainable? Aye, surely
unattainable, from the very fact that
they are two instead of one.-R. l..

Doctors Rich Fee from American.

A French nerve doctor was called
to treat an American visitor for acute
neuralgia. Electricity was applied
with excellent results. The patient,
gratified, promised to send the doctor
a check. The next day the medico
was astonished to deceive check for
$1,000. He went and asked if mis-
take had not been made and received
further expressions of gratitude. A
few days later the American sent title
deeds for house near Arc de Tri-

Gil Bias vouches for the story and
