CAMELS HARBOR HATRED.

Will Wait Until an Opportunity Ar
rives For Revenge.
The Arab who has angered a camel
will throw his clothes upon the
ground. and the infuriated beast after
stamping on them and tearing them
asunder with its teeth goes on Its
way, and the driver Is thereafter quite
safe, as it seems to be an axiom with
the camel that no man shall be put in
peril of life twice for one offense
The camel is stupid save when an
CRY and then seems to become almost
preternatural in carrying out its venge-
full designs. Palgrave relates the fol-
lowing story Of a camers revenge,
which serves to illustrate this point:
"a ladS' Of fourteen had conducted a
large camel laden with wood from one
village to. another at half hours dis
tance. As the animal loitered OF turn
ed out-ofs the way its conductor struck
1t repeatedly and harder than it seem
ed to have thought he had a right to
do; but, not finding the occasion favor
able for taking immediate quits, 1t
'hode it's time That time was not
long in coming d
- "a few days later the same lad had
to reconduct the beast, but unladen, to
his. own village. When they were
about halfway on the road and at
some distance from any habitation the
camel suddenly stopped. looked DELHI
erately round in every direction to as
sure itself that no one was in sight
and, finding the road clear of passers-
by. made q step forward, seized the
unlucky boys head in it's monstrous
mouth and, lifting him up in the air,
flung him down again on the earth
with the upper part of his skull COM
pletely torn off.
Having thus satisfied it's revenge,
the brute quietly resumed its pace to-
ward the village, as though nothing
were the matter. till some men who
had observed the whole. though unfor-
tunately at too great a distance to be
able to- afford timely help, came up
and killed it."-London Telegraph.

GIRL DEFIED AN ARMY.
ssked Toll for Troopers and the Bill
Mas Paid b.

/. aked Toll for Troopers and the Bill
Was Paid.
!t IS related that the army, headed
~ Ghefidan and his staff, left Win
chester by the valley pike early in the
morning, the column moving toward
Stei.s.s City. Just as day was ap-
preaching the staff reached the toll
gate and was discomf1ted by young
and beautiful girl, Charlotte Hillman,
famed locally for her girlish charms.
Even the war-hardened Sheridan
seems not to have been proof against
the persuasion of a pair of black eyes
and a pretty face, and when toll was
demanded straightaway produced the
tithe, setting an example 3 that was
followed by his staff.
But" said Sheridan as he passed
through the gate, IT cannot vouch for
my army"
When the common soldiery came
the girl again lowered the toll bar and
demanded toll. This was met by jeers
from the guard. All day the dusty
troopers passed through, and all day
Charlotte Hillman stood at her post
For every ten soldiers who passed
through the gate she cut notch in
the toll pole. Early fled beyond the
Blue Ridge with the remains of his
disorganized army; in the valley Of
Virginia Lee, beaten back by Grants
overwhelming numbers, gave up the
fight; in the Southeast Joe Johnston
fired the last burlesque shots, and
peace came again over the North and
South. Then, when relations with
Washington had been re-established
AMI the administrations policy was
one Of magnanimity, Charlotte Hill
man counted the notches in the toll
pole and sent her bill to Washington
And the bill was paid.

A SCISSORS ARTIST.
The Wonderful Feats Performed by
Joanne koetren.

- =
jeanne koetren.
More than 200 years ago little girl
was born at Amsterdam. Holland.
whose name was jeanne Koetren. She
was a peculiar child in that she cared
nothing whatever for play and sport,
but found her greatest delight In MAX
ing copies of things about her, imitat-
ing in wax every kind of fruit and
making on silk with colored floss ex-
act copies of paintings which were
thought wonderful
But after she had become very ac-
complished in music, spinning and en-
broidery she abandoned all these for a
still more extraordinary art-that of
cutting. She executed landscapes, ma
,rine views, flowers, animals and por-
traits of people Of such striking resem-
blance that she was for time quite
the wonder Of Europe. She used white
papers for her cuttings, placing them
over black surface, SO. that the NIL
mute openings made BY her scissors
formed the Eight and shade.''
ii The car, Peter the Great, and others
of high rank paid her honor. One man
high in Office vainly offered her 1000
forms for three small cuttings. The
empress of Germany paid her. 1900
forms for trophy she had cut, bear
ing the arms Of Emperor Leopold,
crowned with eagles and surrounded
by agarland of flowers. She also cut
the emperor's portrait, which can now
be seen in the Royal Art gallery in
Vienna. A great many people. went to
see her, and she kept q book in which
princes and princesses wrote their
names. *,
After she died, which was when she
had lived sixty-five years, her hus-
band, Adrian Block, erected monu-
ment to her memory and had designed
upon 1t the portraits of these titled
visitors. Her cuttings were so cor
rect In effect and so tasteful as to
give both dignity and value to her
work and constitute her an artist
whose exquisite skill with the scissors
has never before or since been equaled.

In the Law Courts.

F A barrister was urging that no man
should be convicted on circumstantiaI
evidence alone.
"Why," he said, when I was boy
I knew another lad who while his
parents we're absent went into the
pantry and nearly devoured a custard
pie. Then, fearing the consequences,
he looked about for means Of hiding
his guilt
"He seized the cat, smeared her
face and paws with the custard, and
then took the innocent criminal into
the backyard and shot her. AS he did
so the boy observed to me;
"'''There goes one more victim Of
circumstantial evidence!'"

Golf and It's Penalties.

From the kind Of thing one hears
and reads one would think that the
rules of golf were founded on human

of old women or cripples. We have
seen strong, bearded men almost weep
with Indignation at the barbarous
severity of losing two strokes in a
bunker, or at the monstrousi injustice
of having a stymie laid them.

PROPER MARKk Ting OF EGGS.
Wrong Methods Result in Big Losses
to the Producers.

Farmers, poultry raisers and coun-
money in the aggregate every summer
by not shipping their eggs to market
in proper condition. They not only
lose the value of the eggs, but are out
the express charges as well. Not in.
frequently the commission merchant
to whom the eggs are shipped is de-
nounced and reviled. Bad eggs are not
what the commission man wants. He
cannot dispose of them at any price.
There is never time in the cities
when good, guaranteed, fresh eggs will
not only find ready sale, but will
bring three to five cents, and even
more, above current quotations. Many
family and many a patron of a res
taurant, because Of encountering stale
eggs a second time, forego the use of
eggs until the end of the summer.
This, of course, reduces the demand
and helps to lower the prices. The
consumers do not want bad eggs nor
do they desire little, dirty ones. The
appearance of the shell goes a long
way in fixing the price. Eggs should
not be allowed to become soiled. They
should be sent to market in as attrac-
tive a condition as possible. Some
consumers prefer the white to the
dark colored eggs. If they do, it is
easier for the chicken raiser to change
the breed of his fowls than to change
the taste of the customers who are
willing to pay good prices, provided
they get what they want. Eggs that
are uniform in size and color are al
ways most desirable.
When the eggs reach the commits
sion merchant, says the Journal of Ag-
riculture, they are candled and all the
bad ones are thrown out to be dumped
into the garbage heaps or into the
crematory. If the farmer or mer-
chant who ships these eggs would only
candle the eggs before shipment he
would save himself from disappOint-
ment. He would also save the express
charges, and instead of his shipment
being a loss, it would net neat profit.
And any novice can rig up, in cellar
or dark room a place where eggs can
be candled. The outlay is nominal and
little skill is required.

One of the most pleasing social
events held in the city or vicinity
this year was the dinner given by
Cutler Borah at his home north of
Lancaster in honor of Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Garthwaite WHO returned home
from their wedding trip. Mr.. Borah
is certai-ly past master in the art
of entertaining and this time fully
lived up to his reputation. Sixty
four guests from the city and country
were present during the day and all
enjoyed themselves immensely. The
dinner served was very elaborate and
the guests occupied the time after
ward in visiting and having good
time generally.
The school board is confronted
with its annual problem of how to
provide room for seating the pupils of
the 5th and 9Th grades at the south
S de. For several years past the loom
occupied bY these grades has been
crowded to it's capacity sometimes
having between 65 and 20 pnpils en-
rolled Last year the board tried to
meet this condition by giving the
room over to the charge of two
teachers. This experiment was not
entirely successful and this year QUE
teacher was hired for the work But
there are too many pupils for she or
any other teacher to instruct so at
present the board is looking for
another room in which to place part
of these pupils. All of the rooms
have a sufficient number enrolled, the
corresponding grades on the north side
taxing the capacity of the room, near
ly 90 being enrolled there. At the
present writing the board doesn' t
know how the problem will be solved.

Dippino Sheep For Scab.

In regard to the dipping Of sheep
for scab the South Dakota station
gives the following rules: Dipping
should preferably be performed short
ly after shearing, dipping all the shee
at one time. Select a lime and SUI
phur, tobacco and sulphur or an an
proved coal tar dip. Keep the tempera
ture of the vat at from 1913 to 105 &c
grees. Hold each sheep in the dip tw,
minutes by the watch Guessing at tn
time is not reliable. Completely IL
merse the head once. Ten days later
dip the entire flock a second time. Aft
er the second dipping place the flock
on a portion of the farm. from which
they have been excluded for at least
four weeks previously.
