Plant Like a Camel.

The nearest thing to a camel
among plants is curious specimen
Of the cucumber family which bears
the name of the Ibervillea sonorae.
This plant, like the camel, is a ma
tive of the desert, and it has to go
without water longer than the ami
NAL. AS the rainy season in the
desert comes only once a year, ma
ture provides the plant with res
ervoir to store up enough moisture
to last it between times. The organ
in which the water is stored is To-
Gated at the base of the stem. 1t is
covered with sort of macintosh
envelope, through which the water
can neither escape nor evaporate.
This water holder rests on the sand
throughout the entire period of
drought, but when the rain comes it
springs into activity.-San Francis
CO Chronicle.

EoiIed AGAIN.


The stout man opened the door of
the small waiting room at Bushby
station and looked cautiously into the
room. AS he saw it was apparently
empty, he entered, closed the door
softly behind him and tiptoed over to
the weighing machine. II guess I've
got my chance at last" he muttered as
he hastily thrust cent into the slot
and stepped gingerly on the platform
at the same instant
He settled himself firmly and was
adjusting his glasses to decipher the
number of pounds registered when the
door of the ticket agents room opened,
and out he came, rubbing his chilled
hands.
"Have to warm up at the stove once
In awhile" he said genfally and was
surprised at the answer he received.
"Any excuse does 'em, l notice."
muttered the stout man, and he step
ped heavily from the weighing ma
chine without having deciphered the
figures.
''You won't find out how much
weigh todayv he said louder, with a
hostile glance at the ticket agent
'.This is the forty-ffth time I've tried
to use one o. these machines in peace,
but now 1 give it up. If 'tisn't an i'm
position, I don't know what tsp

Slanu of the Army.

In the army there are expressions
peculiar to itself Heard for the first
time by outsiders. they need interpre-
tation. Among the most common are
''hil1e'' for march, striker" for a
soldier serving as bodyservant or house
man for an officer, &C. o. for "com-
handing officer and 80. D." for ''of-
ficer of the day. "hop' and "hoproom"
for dance" and dancing room"
"citz clothes for "civilian dress"
''commissaries" for groceries," "cof-
fee cooler" for an officer who is al
ways looking for an easy job in some
staff position, found when an officer
fails to pass his examinations and
''shavetaiP' for youngster just out OF
West Point Among the soldiers the
expressions have multiplied until quite
a vocabulary of strange words has
been established "Bobtail'' is a dis
honorable discharge. Orderly bucker"
is a soldier who, when going on guard
duty, strives by extra neatness Of ap-
pearance to be appointed orderly to
one of the officers. Dog robber' Is
the soldiers contemptuous expression
for striker" -Leslie's Weekly.

Odious Comparisons.

"Ask me anything else you like, -
said the brown eyed girl, ''but don't
ask me if I think that girl across
the hall is pretty. I can't tell you.
/ have been asked that before, and
I've honestly tried to tell, but al
ways I got myself into a scrape.
"The trouble is the girl looks like
me. If say she is pretty, then 9TH
er people who notice the resem-
blance-and everybody is sure to
notice it-get down on me. They
say: ooh, the conceited thing! What
an obvious way of praising herself!'
If I say she isn't pretty the girl
across the hall hears about it and
abuses me for a spiteful, envious
wretch. Of course | really do think
but, no, it's no use to ask me, for
never again can | be induced to say
what I think" New York Press.

A Peer and His Patent.

After it is once issued the patent for
the creation of a new peerage cannot
be altered. Otherwise Lord Glerawly
would be written Lord Glenawley, as
Glerawly was written by a clerk in
mistake for this word. Another in
teresting case Of a similar nature is
that of Charles Pawlet, afterward
third Duke of Bolton, who died in
1854. In 1717, while his father, the
second duke, was still alive, Pawlet
was made peer as Lord Pawlet of
Basing, although the intention of the
king and his advisers was to summon
him to the house of lords under one Of
his fathers junior titles-that of Baron
ST. John of Basing. However the
writ of summons had been made out
to Lord Pawlet of Basing, and Pawlet
bore this title until he became Duke of
Bolton in 2.-Westminster Gazette.

THE FOOD QUESTION.
Never Eat Quite as Much as You Think
You Want.

The Romans said, 'Eat, drink
and be merry, for tomorrow you
die" And their banquets quite
equaled those of the American mil
lionaire Of this twentieth century.
They ate, and the Roman empire
died. But we of America choose to
live and to live long and to live
we'll. And so the maxim Of today
is, ''Eat less and be merry anyhow. .
Why eat less? Simply because
as a nation we eat too much. Thir-
ty years ago so per cent of the diet
was meat. Today it has diminished
to one-third.
"Never eat quite as much as you
think you want is the continual
advice of a learned physician to the
young man who would gladly be a
Roman if he could.
More and more among leaders in
life is the question of nutrition re-
ceiving attention. Rheumatic peo-
pie learn to do away with a meat
diet absolutely. So great is the re-
lief that sweets and other question
able but much liked articles of diet
soon follow. And, while the prohi-
bition and restrictions sound hard
Of practice, persons do it daily and
always say that they don't care.
Oddly, it is the women who are the
more likely to complain in the be-
ginning.
It may seem long stretch to say
the food question can affect interna-
tional politics. Yet because the la
boring classes of other nations eat
less their living is cheaper and they
work without sacrifice for a lower
wage than our republican born men.
The American laborer is fond of
things fried and of pies. He eats
heavily during the noon hour, not
stopping to realize that he has fed
his furnace with noncombustible
stuff that brings unnecessary effort
upon the digestive system. The
foreigner at his side eats more SEN
sibly-somehow the older nations
have learned and not taught-and
the foreigner is more eft" more
contented He is teachable, and his
work is good. He costs less money,
and therefore the international
problem. = Philadelphia North

Strange Uses For Churches.

There are cases innumerable OF
churches being used during England's
civil war to accommodate the horses
of one or another regiment of the op-
posing troops. Dedham church still
shows traces of Puritan vandalism in
the mutilated sculpture. The oak door,
at one time deliberately decorated with
small carved figures of saints, now
shows the figures without their heads
And there is the famous case of Notre
Dame at Paris, which during the days
Of the Revolution was converted into
a temple of reason" with it's god

Simple Rules of Health.

Never pick your teeth with any hard
substance. Bar the pick unless it IS
made of soft white pine. Repeated use
of a hard pick drives the gums away
from the teeth, and pretty soon you
are a victim of Riggs disease. After
the meal pick your teeth gently, then
rinse out your buccal cavity with an
antiseptic solution of tepid water. Aft
er rinsing use a gargle to clean out the
throat-a solution of salt in water
Wash off your tongue as far back as
you can reach and scrape the root of
1T once in awhile with an instrument
Of silver made for the purpose And,
above all, never put anything into your
mouth that does not agree perfectly
with your stomach, if it is expected to
descend below the thrOatlatch.-New

No Use For Them.

An old North sea skipper who
was asked to buy a number of life
belts for his vessels use waxed elo-
quent in the sublimity Of his con-
tempt. "Take 'em away~ said the
old "salt." Don't let me see such
longshore rubbish on my decks. |
don't want no life belts, nor no
smelling salts, nor no eau de cologne,
nor no feeding bottles or fans
aboard of me. Them as sails in my
ship has got to stick to her as I do,
and if she goes down, why, I expects
them in duty bound to go along
with her. Pearson's Weekly.
