altogether charming The saddles used
on this journey were formed Of large
pads. one In front and, one behind the

In front. with huge peaked pad TO
keep him from falling off when the
camel rises. Then the passenger
mounts behind the hump. and the cam
ell is with difficulty persuaded to rise.
This he does hind quarters first. ana
the passenger finds himself thrust up
In midair as II on, a tower The hinge
pad offers no possible support. and he
can scarcely overcome his desire To
prevent fall by putting his feet on
the drivers shoulders That worthy.

Juns and Matrimony.

The first people to adopt the month
Of June as sacred to Hymen. the god Of
marriage, were the ancient Romans.
who considered June the most propi.
tious season Of the year for entering
upon matrimonial relations. The Ro.
mans held that June weddings were
likely to be happier than alliances con.
tracted in any other month Of the year,
especially II the day chosen were that
Of the full moon or the conjunction of
the sun and moon. They also held
that Of all months May was to be most
avoided. as in that month newlyweds
would come under the influence Of spir'
its adverse to happy households. These
ancient marriage superstitions were re.
tanned by the Christians In the middle
ages. and even today June Is consid.
cred by many to be pre-eminently the
month of marriages. - Pittsburgh

An excellent preventive is idleness or
inertia: another is satisfaction. Find
the man who is satisfied and you need
look no further for human putty. Con-
tent breeds lndias and Chinas. Dis
content sends MayhOwers across oceans
not the sullen discomfort that does
nothing, but the discomfort that mani
tests itself In striving to better con
ditions. the discomfort that means hard
work and plenty Of 1t. Some firms are
so cOntented with the volume Of busi-
ness they have that they do nothing to
increase it. But the discontinued COM
petitor is doing something. as the first
firm generally finds out before going
into bankruptcy. You go ahead or you
60 back In this world. You cannot
stand still. Satisfaction too often means
just that-doing nothing.-Philadelphia
Ledger.
