The March of the Caravan.

Perhaps the weirdest and most Inn
pressive of the many unwonted men,
cries that the traveller carries away
with him from travel in the east is
the recollection of the camel caravans
which he has encountered at night.
Out of the black darkness il heard the
distant boom of heavy bell Mourn
fully and with perfect regularity of
iteration II sounds, gradually swelling
nearer and louder and perhaps min
CLING with the tones Of smaller bells
signaling the rear guard Of the same
caravan. The big bell is the insignia
and alarm of the leading camel alone.
But, nearer and louder as the sound
becomes, not another sound and not a
visible object appears to accompany
1t. Suddenly and without the slight
est warning there looms out of the
darkness, like the apparition of a
phantom ship, the form of the captain
Of the caravan. His spongy tread
sounds softly on the smooth sand, and
like great string OF linked ghOuls the
silent procession stalks by and is swal-
lowed up in the night.-"Persia and
the Persian Question"

A missionary in charge of a small
church on the Indian reservation ut
Onondaga held evening services for his
people at which subjects upon which
he lectured were not strictly religious.
One evening when the little building
was well filed with braves and their
squaws he described the solar system
and told them that the earth revolved
about the sun and also turned over
once in every twenty-four hours.
Early the next morning the priest
was awakened by knock. He opened
the door to find big Indian wrapped
in blanket standing on the porch.
"Why, Obaga" he , exclaimed "ls

More EXCITING Than the plav.

A countryman on one OF his rare WIS.,
Its to London, after completing his
business, visited the local theater and
patronized that part of the house
known as "the gods" obtaining n seat
I'm the front row. He had provided
himself with refreshments before en-
tering In the form of n bag of cakes
and bottle Of mineral water.
As the performance progressed he
consumed these and, becoming alb
sorbed in II thrilling passage was alb
sently toying with the empty bottle on
the ledge in front OF him when he ac-
cidentally allowed 1t to fall over.
Horror stricken. he instantly looked
down and was just in time to see the
bottle drop heavily on to the bald head
of n man below, who, not noticing
whence the attack came, jumped to
the conclusion that his neighhor was
the aggressor He seized the bottle
and hit the other man smartly across
the head with it..
Our friend above had now seen
enough and hastily but quickly quilted
the place, observing when he reached

An Elephant Bridge.

In ancient times In India a famous
general used elephants to bridge q
stream. He possessed a battalion or
over 800 elephants, and, approaching
river where the stream was too rapid
for his troops to cross, he ordered the
elephants in and had them placed side
by side, facing up and down the
stream. Then pIanks were brought
and laid from the back Of one elephant
TO that Of another, and over them the
troops passed In safety, the only trou-
BILE experienced being the showers OF
water which the elephants kept up by
sucking up the refreshing liquid In
their trunks and tossing 1t over their
bodies

The failure Of the legislature to make
an appropriation for the normoI schools
seems to meet with favor in most Sec
tions in the state, but it is not 4 good
way to settle the normal school question.
1t leaves the normal schools to die Of
Starvation, without abolishing them.
1t unsettles the question Of what will be
done with the schools, leaves force Of
caretakers, teachers and faculty without
means of support, and an uncertain
future. 1t is the general opinion that
the establishment Of so many normals
was mistake, and but one school
should be maintained, Yet the leglsla'
ture has not abolished any Of them or
provide means Of supporting euen one
of them.
