The Camel.

Admiral d. d. Porter. who once went
to north Africa to secure camels for
Introduction into America, gives some
interesting points about the value Of
these ugly but useful animals. BE
says:
"In their campaigns against Algiers
the French were surprised to see their
camels, although reduced to skeletons,
making forced marches with their
loads. Mules In their condition could
not have even carried their saddles. A
camers flesh Is as good as beef. You
can hardly tell one meat from the 9TH
er. Camel's milk is very good, as can
testify, because I used 1t in my coffSe.
A camel generally drinks once In three
days, and besides his four stomachs he
carries a sort Of reservoir in which he
stores water, I have been told that
even ten days after the death Of q
camel this reservoir can be opened and
ten or fifteen pints OF clear, drinkable
water taken from It"

CHOICE MISCELLANY
The Presidents Name

Strange as ii may be, since II n
spoken every day, IL not every hour,
by peoples Of every nation, tongue and
cline, comparatively few persons give
to the presidents name its correct pro-
nunciation, says the Washington Her
aid. Even right here in Washington
it Is more commonly called Roosevelt"
than anything else, while its facetious
twist into "Rosenfelt" is not infre-
Quent. Among that class OF persons
who make a stagger at giving II It's
proper pronunciation II becomes Rose
velt' more often than anything else,
though Roosevelt" is a close second.
For the several hundredth time within
the period Of his occupancy OF the
White House the president a few days
ago tried to straighten out q visitor
orthoepically In respect Of the presi-
Dental patronymic. He spelled 1t out
thus:
"Ro-zie-yelt.
1T Is more nearly Ro-za-velt than II
Is Ro-zie-velt," the president explained
patiently, but II I should syllable il
that way for you and you should fol-
low my spelling in an effort to convey
to others the historically correct pro
nunciaton of my name somebody
would be sure to give the broad sound
to the "a and make it 'Ro-zar-velt,' %
