A correspondent from India writes that the
British gunboats in the Persian gulf have been
very active In suppressing the traffic In rifles and

As a rule. when camels are entrained they are
loaded on open trucks but on this occasion it was
thought advisable to make use of closed cars

cameis were made to kneel down in the sand

were then tied so that 1t was impossible for them
to straighten out their forelegs.
The cars were each loaded with six cameis
three in each end facing inward The space in
the middle was utilized for saddles and fodder for
the journey. Two camelmen also travelled in each
car. 1t may be remarked that Brahuls differ from
most people in that they do not notice that the
camel has a particularly offensive odor The
camels dubbed and protested while being load
ed, but they soon settled down and began to eat
the fodder provided for them. It took five hours
to load the first train of 100 camels. Only one
came that had an unusually large hump could
not be pushed through the door. aud he was

owing to years numbering few, have been
strong with me for at least quarter of
a century, and l propose now to send few
words of advice and caution. Since the
good editor is willing to print the views
of everyone, as expressed in their own
words, it behooves each writer to be rea-
sonable in their subjects and words. The

ton well to the front with most of the
