STOPPING the Ex.cxars Express.

The ex-czarina's belief In the I'M
speakable Rasputin proves that she
was Of a strongly superstitious turn
Of mind, and she is generally regarded
as the true maker of the revolution In
Russia, but an incident which occurred
whilst the ex-czar was travelling from
Petrograd to Moscow proves that the
superstition Is not all on her side.
1t appears, says a writer, that the
ex-czar wears a ring In which he be-
neves is embedded fragment Of the
true cross. 1t was originally one of
the treasures of the Vatican and was
presented to one of the cars prede-
cessors for diplomatic reasons. The

der Did the Work.

In 1866 camelS from India were first
brought to Australia for general serv-
ice, saws Norman Duncan in his book,
"AusuaHan Byways." 1t was a happy
experiment. A herd of more than 600
arrived with their Afghan masters in
1884. 1t is estimated that there are
now 10000 camels at labor in the dry,
back regions of the commonwealth An
Australian loves a horse and respects
the sturdy worth of a bullock; he re-
CARDS camel, however, with tolerance
rather than appreciation, and will not
employ so outlandish and perverse a
beast except to the great advantage of
his needs.
'We used to think" said Jerry, the
camel driver employed by the author,
that we couldn't get along without the
'Ghans."
Surely they know how to take care
Of camels" asked.
mo fearw Jerry scoffed. "They had
lot Of superstitions-like curing a
camel with a necklace of blue beads
and that's about all. The government
breeds better camels now. That's only
natural; we're white. don't mean to
say, though, that we've bred the devil
out Of our camels. Sometimes I lose
patience with the brutes.
"a couple Of years ago was travel
ing to the north Of this with train
Of four back camels. One morning
when was packing found that I had
forgotten to stow away billy can
(bushman's teakettle). When / picked
that little billy can up and made for
the nearest, camel, meaning to hang 1t
on his pack, he began to double and
groan, as IL 1t wasn't his billy can, and
he wasn't going to carry more than his
share, and what did I mean anyhow
by proposing to overload a poor camel
that way? So to make things easy
switched off to the next camel. And
he began to groan. They all groaned.
Not one of them would have that little
billy can on his back. . s
"Well, I was disgusted. Instead of
hanging it on pack 1 mounted my
riding camel, with the billy can in my
hands. He was Mortified. Goodness.
how he bawled! When he got up he
was bawling still. Wouldn't move n
! step! And then I leaned forward and
( shook that billy can in his face. And
that satisfied him. Off he went with
out murmur. Why? 1 reckon he
thought was carrying that billy car"

Ship of Mystery,

The manufacture of a large part of
machinery to replace anything broken
is almost impossible in the limited
space of the battleship's machine
shops. But wondrous feats are per-
formed in the repair ships that ac-
company fleets on stations remote from
dock facilities, states a British war
correspondent j,
The repair ship is huge floating
smithy and machine shop packed with
everything that the wit of man can
concentrate into the space for treating
wounded battleships. These ships en-
ploy some Of the best artif1cers from
our naval dock yards, and are scat
tered in every quarter In which the
British feet Is stationed remote from
dock facilities. The Boche has moth
ing like them, and 1t has been stated
that no inquisitive Boche has ever
been allowed to intrude his nose
aboard one to investigate its myster-
les and take the information to his
employers of how the strange feats
performed by the repair ship are ef-
fected. The repair ship is the abode
Of secrets.

Worthy of His Rank.

The recruit was having his first turn
on sentry duty.
Now, remember your salutes," the
corporal warned him. IF you see a
lieutenant wearing one star, slope
arms For a captain with three stars
slope arms also. The major has a
crown on his straps, and you present
arms. For the colonel, who has stars
and a crown, you present arms and
then turn out the guard"
When he was left alone the recruit
went over these orders again and
again
Suddenly his musing was interrupted
by the approach of an officer. This
was a general, and the recruit did net
know what to do for him.
.An' what might you be7r he asked
bluntly, unable to recognize the badge
Of the officers rank.

Why Was Startling introduced

Nobody seems to know what the
starting was introduced into the Unit
ed States for. 1t may have been
thought that as a picturesque bird of
marked personality and a classical in
labitant of the bowers of literature he
would be a pleasing addition to our
avi fauna. Attempts have been made
to introduce the skylark and. the Eu-
ropean goldfinch, the latter with some
success, the former without. They are
songbirds. Except in technical sense,
the startling isn't, though occasional
sweet pipings do vary his Earring
cries, and he does surprising things
as a mimic of other species.

Taller In Mornlnu.

The very wise smile knowingly
when someone offers the foolish" as
sertion that a person is taller in the
morning than in the evening. But
just try 1t. Between the "a vertebrae
of the backbone are little disks of car
tilage, and these during the course of
the day are considerably compressed
by the weight of the body, expanding
again when the body is in a recumbent
position. In the case of a heavy man
of good average height, the difference
in his height at morning and evening
Is generally about half an inch.

value he places on this suppositious
relic was proved when he accidentally
left ii behind him when travelling to
Moscow. He had the train stopped
instantly, a special express chartered,
and a trusty messenger sent post-haste'
back to fetch the missing ring, nor
would he allow the train to bulge an
inch till his messenger returned, hours.

No Person Has the Right
To Eudanger Human Lives

Mr.. Editor:
The writer desires to call atten
ton to the reckless driving of auto
mobiles on the part of some of our
thoughtless and careless young men,
and maybe others. Returning from
Beckwith Camp last Sunday after
noon the writer met two machines,
apparently racing, though the road
from Cambridge was full Of traffic
and dust. The writer was compelled
to ditch his machine on quick notice
to avoid a serious accident. l reside
on one of our State roads, and it is
needless to say the speed laws are
repeatedly disregarded. Now that
the camp meeting season is on, our
authorities should be on the alert.
Every violater should be arrested
and made to answer for his disregard
of other peoples lives.
Any man who will so drive his
machine as to endanger the lives of
our women and children upon our
public roads, not only should be
fined, and his license revoked, but
tied to the first telephone pole and
given so much tar and feathers that
his mother wouldn't know him
VIGILANT.
