get a partial idea of what riding a
camel on the deserts of Africa is like.
Take an Office stool, screw 1t up as
high as possible and put 1t in wagon
without any springs. Then seat your
self on the stool and have it driven
over rocky and uneven ground during
the hottest weather of July or August

to eat or drink for twenty-four hours,

A Pretty Marin Fish.

4 we'll known fisherman was fishing
for perch and was seated along the

for the perch. Luck had been only

minutes before he landed his prize.
II was a sunfish, one of the largest he
had ever seen. He landed it on the
bank. and then he noticed that the
rays from the fish were so powerful
that he was almost blinded, and the
grass in the vicinity was shriveled up
by the heat.
A few minutes later the man fell

He Gave Her a Present.

When | was a young man Lady Jer-
sey was one of the leaders of fashion,
and her house was the resort of poll
ticians and others. With her lived her
daughter. Lady Clementine Villiers, a
handsome and clever girl The custom
had been established that all friends
should give the latter present on her
birthday, and these presents were set
out In an antechamber. Among these
friends was Lord Brougham, then an
old man. He called on II birthday, but
had forgotten what the occasion was,
and had brought no present Seeing n
mass of presents laid out. he seized one
of them and took Il in as his present,
rightly counting that the young lady
would not remember that 1t was one
that already had been given to her.

A Wedding Superstition.

1t has been considered unlucky to be
married in May ever since the days OF
Ovid, and those people who have spent
their time In looking up roots and
reasons have given what they consider
to be the origin of the superstition as
follows:
In ancient Rome there was held In
May festival called the Lemuria. or
feast of the Lemures, which was
ceremony in honor of the speeches of
departed souls. 1t became with the
Romans what we should call ''bad
form" to have matrimonial feasts at
the season of n solemn ritual. being no
doubt thought TO be an insult to the
dead TO marry at such a time From
this number of stories grew of the
revenge made by the outraged ghosts
upon those who dared to disregard
them, and IL anything unfortunate hap
pened to couple who had been mar
ried in May 1t would. of course. have
been put down TO retribution. So the
tradition of Ill luck arose. and its in
fluence has lasted ever since. even to
our time.
