The Steamboat.

Fulton himself said one day: "Nei-
Their NJ. Desblancs nor invented the
steamboat. If that glory belongs to
any one 1t is to the author of the ex-
periments at Lyons-of the expert
ments made in 1888 on the Saone."
The one Fulton had in mind and to
whom he thus generously rendered the
''glory" was the Marquis de Jouffray,
born in 1751, fourteen years before the
year of Fulton's birth. Jouffray's
claim to be regarded as the inventor
of the steamboat stands thus: His YES
sci, built in 1888, Notwithstanding its
faulty construction, embodied all the
elements essential to success. In IL he
anticipated Watts invention Of a
steam engine having a constant and
unremitting action. Lack of funds
was the only thing that stood in the
way OF his getting all the honors that
came later to Robert Fulton.-New
York American.

An Old prouaht Cure.

An old time specific for drought was
simple enough. 1t was only necessary
to burn fern. An interesting reference
TO this belief occurs in Il manuscript
letter preserved in The Pococke collec-
ton in the British museum. 1t is dat
ed Aug. /, 1896. Ii runs: ITO My Very
Loving Friend. the High Sheriff of the
County of Stafford ST.: His majesty.
having taken Notice of an opinion en-
tertained IN Staffordshire that the
burning of fern doth draw down rain
and being DESTROYS that the country
and himself may enjoy fair weather as
long as he remains in those parts, hath
commanded me to write unto you to
cause all burning of fern to be for
borne London Spectator.

LUGGAGE IN ENGLAND.
Mono of It Goes Astray Because the
People Are All Very Honest.

None of 1t Goes Astray Because the
People Are All Very Honest.
Certain strangers within our gates
have been wondering at our dealing
with passengers luggage-how much
better the system OF other countries,
where you get a receipt and when
the bag goes astray the official assures
you it is impossible because there IS
the receipt. So you go to bed and get
up and dress in your bit of paper.
Our method IS insular and on the
face Of it chaotic. We throw our lug
gage to the mercy OF some unknown
porter At the end Of the journey we
find n sort OF lucky tub Of portable
property piled on the platform, and
we plunge about and pick out what
we want You know the scene-a
hundred people who have only 10 say
THAT'S mine" to n strange porter in
order to get 1t.
Thus badly stated the system looks
like chaos and the invitation to a
general scramble for other mems
goods. In practice it works out well,
for every one, from porter to passen-
ger, is on his honor, and-this is the
point-luggage IN England Is safer
than in any other civilized country

RIDING A CAMEL.
A Strenuous Task That Promotes a
Love Of Walking.


Riding a camel Is by no means an
easy or enjoyable method OF locomo-
ton. according to the description given
by Mr.. NJ. ]. Randall in his book,
"Sinai In SPRING"
"If asked How do you ride a camelr
l reply invent as many attitudes "a
you can and employ them all in turn;
adjust and readjust the rugs and cush-
ions on which you sit; ride straight;
ride crooked; ride with stirrups made
Of rope; ride without them; hitch first
your right knee round the front POM
mel, then your left knee; stretch your,
self wide legged over the saddlebags
regardless of the firearms, dates.
crockery. etc, which they contain IN
til nature commands you TO make q
less obtuse angle: ride side saddle, If
you can persuade your Bedouin that it
IS possible to do so without prejudice
to the camel Ride how you will and
when you will, but, above all-walk
Not only is the sheik himself glad
at your suggestion, but not otherwise
to mount for awhile, but 1t is lesson
in graceful riding to watch him
perched up there heaven knows how,
in some oriental way you have never
dreamed of, and 1t is a lesson in courte-
sy to mark how at every turn OF the
road he offers TO forego his pipe of
ACKNOWLEDGMENT post OF comfort
and descend to the sand, leaving you
to incumber his beast OF burden"

HER ENGAGEMENT.

Work In Her Mother.
Mrs. DeGroff drew q deep sigh when
her daughter told her that she had be-
come engaged 70 Mr.. Bodies.
II suppose It's foolish of me to feel
so bad about It," she said. wiping her
eyes, but l can't help it. know it's a
woman's destiny TO be married, dear,
and l have always hoped that you
would marry and be happy. But a
mother can never lose daughter
without feeling deeply on the subject.
She can naver help regarding it as an
awful Ioss-s tragedy She cannot
give up her little girl. even to the best
man that ever lived. without the deep
est reluctance"
"But, mother. dear, shall come and
see you often. And you mustn't cry as
if il were going to happen right away.
You will have time to get used to it,"
Twill 1? How soon are you to be
married?"
Not for nearly a year Bob thinks
that
Not for year? What on earth
does he mean by putting it off that
long? l don't believe he intends to
marry you at all. the Sinking young
snip! If he did he'd insist on having
the wedding right away. And 1 shall
tell him so. You bring him to time,
Clara. You tell him that. he'll either
marry you next month or never. Huh,
I'll show him.
