    Camel Hump and Giraffe

WASHINGTON. In a furtlvo sort
of way peoplo liavo taken note
of tho "camel hump walk " It's hero
It came to Pennsylvania avenue rath
er gradually, but by much quicker
process than that by which the abor
iginal man stopped walking on all
fours; for It traces Its ancestry back
to tho hobblo skirt anil no farther
Just ns wo used to have tho "kan
garoo walk," we now have the "camel-
hump walk." .
Tho camel-hump walk Is nnturo's
way of adapting ltsolf to the sheath
skirt. It Is nature's law and probnbly
the very best nature could do under
tho circumstances.
It will bo seen by careful attention
to tho pictures that the genuine camel-hump
is nothing more nor less than
un attempt on the part of tho hobbled
female to get nway from what is
coming behind her, a direct applica
tion of tho theory that self-preservation
Is one of tho primal Instincts of
humanity. Tho peculiar effect Is due
to the tendency of tho upper portion
of tho torso to ndvanco a llttlo faster

Famous Stockbritlge Indians Are to Go West
DECIDING to abandon their tribal
form of government and ndopt tho
white man's way of doing things, tho
remnant of the Stockbrldge tribe of
Indians, numbering COO men. women
and children, will shortly become
citizens of Wisconsin and ceaso to be
under tho supervision and guardian
ship of the federal government.
The Stockbrldge Indians will have
a wholo township to themselves, east
of Lake Wlnnebngo, and other land
that tho government intends giving
them. Already they are planning tho
organization of a town government,
and they have written to vnrious fed
eral nnd state officials about the state
for Information respecting civil gov
ernment, parliamentary practice nnd
whatever else may bo useful to them
in 'solving the problems beforo them.
Originally tho Stockbridgo Indians
were a part of tho Mohican confeder

of Housatonlc. Wlien the pilgrim

THREE years ago congress passed
a law setting aside a tract of 1,

continent to be kept ns a national

opened for tho season, and It will re

Now, it Is that very tendency of tho
upper portion of tho torso to continue
the old movements of a natural gait
that produces that peculiar pheno

There is nlso the "giraffe sway,"
which is a variation of tho camel

The complement of these two ac

war they were forced to move, partly
becauso tho war had reduced their

Too Frequent Watering of This Sensi

Be Avoided.

complaint?
If It Is you have failed to learn the
nost Important of all facts In tho care
of ferns, which Is that too frequent
watering Is not good for these delicate
plants. Tho Boston variety, or short,
curly kind, Is generally considered
difficult to keep In a thriving condi

comparatively easy.
This housewife, who takes a pecu
liar joy in all tho beauty pertaining to
a homo, declares the fern should ho
kept' In front of a window, whero It
receives tho morning sun. It must
stand on a soft surface, sand In a jar
diniere much larger than tho fern pot
being ono of tho best arrangements
This nllows It to get plenty of air, an
essential point In Its care.
Do not water tho fern more often
than every other day. Now and then
It Is best to wait three or four daj'B,
as a good dryout Is most advisable
Take tho fern Into tho lnundry or
bnsement nnd give it a good bath
once or twlco a month.
Never let tho temperature average
more than 70 In tho room whero tho
fern Is kept, a cooler ntmosphero be
ing better. Keep the plnnts free from
dry or dead lonves. If possible, placo
the fern In a shady placo In tho yard
for Its summer outing, packing earth
well around tho pot, a treatment
which Increases Its growth.
