Camel Works Hard.

From the beginning of the journey
to its end a camel is never relieved OF
its load. It eats, walks and sleeps I'M

years to teach it to bend the knees ID

London i'm Winter.

Cheerfulness is necessary to sup
port one through a London winter.
I admit the difficulties of attaining
such a mood, but none the less I am
convinced Of the necessity for it.
When it is not raining, 1t is foggy,
and if by any chance for y day it
is neither, you know it will be both
tomorrow.
I think an especial Order Of Merit
ought to be awarded to the people
who remain cheerful in all circum-
stances. There is no virtue which
lends more to social popularity

mother. But there is one thing it

that is an over-sensitive disposition.
What a curse s~ensitiveness is both tn

them suffer needlessly and imagine
all sorts Of Sights which were never
intended!
And all this can be cured in in
FANCY. A child begins by being self
centred; it ends by growing morbid.
