No Water for Three Montha.

Some interesting stories OF explora-
lions In the Sonora desert Of Mexico,
parts Of which no white man had ever
penetrated. were recently related by
DR.. Karl Lumholtz to the Royal Geo.
graphical Society of England. DR..
Lumholtz said that scarcity OF water
was the great problem.
The strange thing was that the
hora and fauna did not seem TO sui.
fer from this aridity. In spite OF the
lack of rain during the winter previ.
Gus to his visit to the sand dunes,
during spring, he found at one place
an astounding growth OF flowers,
through which they Travelled for near.
ly htree miles: and It had been found
by actual experiment that small 70.
dents Of arid regions had been able to
live for two or three years on hard
seeds without water. The conditions
In the sand dunes near the coast were
IL possible, even more remarkable,
Here. as soon as the uncertain rains
OF winter had made the plants
green" as the Mexicans say, the cat.
tie and horses were driven there and
remained three months--from' Febru.
airy to the end OF May-absolutely
without water. In his travels Il was
the usual thing during the winter time
for the animals to go without water
every second day.

TACT recently came to the writer's at
tention and 10 worth repeating.
In New England village boys had
been In the habit Of stealing apples.
and the minister's sons soon came to
do as other boys did. They learned
that the deacon had tree OF August
Sweetlngs. and helped themselves.
While one engaged the deacon's atten-
ton the other filled his pockets with
the luscious fruit, ran home, and hid
the apples In the hay NOW. But they
deceived themselves rather than the
deacon. who saw the theft and noted
the thief Some years afterwards one
OF these boys. grown to manhood. was
located In another town In which a
bank was being established. Among
the directors OF the bank was this
same deacon, who was looking for a
clerk for the institution. As he was
sitting In his office one day a well.
dressed. Incorporating young man en-.
tered and applied for the position.
During the course of conversation the
young man mentioned the fact that
years ago both had lived In the same
town. while the bank director was q
deacon in his fathers church, adding:
Il don't suppose you remember me-"
.Oh.ye I do" replied the deacon:
you are the youiis 1mdn -wtisltole my
August Sweetings while your brother
undertook to divert my attention. I
don't believe a thief has any business
behind a banks counter" The young
man protested that II was a boyish
prank, that he had lived down that
and other indiscreet acts. But the
deacon was Arm and the young man
retired.
Perhaps the boy had lived down
such acts. perhaps he had for years
lived an upright life. and the deacon's
reference to the stolen apples was In
n certain sense unjust But how much
better would II have been II he had
asked for those apples and not stolen
them. how much better II he had not
done an act that he had to live down!
He might possibly have been made
clerk In the new bank. and in time it's
