TOLD OF INDIA.

An Indian merchant wished to dis
pose of an old elephant and took it
to fair. AS soon as he arrived he
noticed man who, without saying
word, began to walk around the
animal, examining it attentively on
all sides. The merchant became very
anxious, for he feared that the man
had found out that mis- elephant was
not worth much. He took MIN aside
and whispered in his ear: Il see a
customer coming. Do not say word
until have sold the beast, and will
give you fifty rupees. The man
looked at the merchant and wonder
ingly complied with his request. 1t
happened that the customer had more
money than sense, so that he was
easily taken in. When the bargain
was completed and the elephant led
away by it's new owner, the merchant
handed the fifty rupees to the silent
man, saying: Nov, / want you to
tell me how you discovered the de-
feet in his left leg. thought / had

"In Gods Hands,"
BY NORMAN DUNCAN.

There had come with us from He.
bron a Turkish soldier riding a young
camel, whose virtues he boasted-
and, indeed, exhibited; the clean
limbs, the stride and the docility of
the beast. 1t seemed a worthy cam
ell, camel of excellent humor and
of distinguished promise; and it was
much coveted, by the way At night,
as the custom is, the man was used
to sleeping close to his beast. the

The camel was heartily beaten and

enough curiosity in the possession of
a red-eyed chicken. 1t is not the
eyelids that are red, as might be in
.ferred, but the eyes themselves. The
eyeballs are not bloodshot or in
famed, but are of brilliant crystal
red. while the sights are also red, but
of a darker hue. So transparent are
the eyes that when the. head of the
chicken is held between your vision
and the sun it appears as if the sun
were shining through from one eye
to the other and the head lighted up
inside. The chick is as healthy and
can see as perfectly as any in the

Transportation in Egypt.

1t is a curious fact that the Nile
and most of the canals in Egypt run
north and south. The wind blows
nearly all the year from the north,
and thus furnishes the cheapest pro-
polling power for boats going south.
When the boats return north the
rapid current of the Nile is the motive
power. The regularity of the wind
and the steadiness of the current are
two reasons why boats propelled by
any other power are SO little used.
Time is not SO important an element
in business in Egypt as in some other
countries, and It does not matter.
therefore, that boats propelled by
wind or current are sloy.-Consular

ease Germs.
In a meteorological study of soiled
paper money, published in the Popu-
lar Science Monthly, Mr.. Warren w.
Hilditch. of Yale University, found
the numbers of bacteria present on
the bills ranged from $4,000 up to
SIS, with an average for twenty
one bills of $4,000. There seemed
to be no connection between the
amount of dirt and the number of
bacteria present; the cleanest-looking
bill that he used had next to the high
est count (405, 000, while the bill
that looked the dirtiest had but 49,
900. When bill has been in circula-
ton for short time and has become
somewhat cracked, and its peculiar
glaze worn of, the bacteria very cas-
lily cling to it without the presence of
dirt and grease. All NEGOTIATIONS gave
negative results, the time limit being
placed from six to seven weeks. The
author concludes, after a careful
study of the subject, that money con-
stitutes an unimportant factor in the
