The annual meeting of the Spring Branch Telephone com pany was held in the school house of Dist No. 2. All the old officers were elected and all the subscribers were asses sed one dollar each for the pur chase of a telephone tester, which was deemed necessary, on ac count of the failure of the line to give satisfactory service. The meeting was held March 25th. During the last two weeks of school in the Agee Dist., the pub lic raised a sum of $5 around their school, and bought a fine watch fob, which they presented to their teacher, Miss Esther Thomas as a token of the esteem they had for her. That is the first time in the history of that district, that the pupils have went to so much pains to show their respect for, and confidence in their teacher. That is certainly a fine showing for Miss Thomas, for that school had been com menced and given up by another lady teacher on account of her in ability to govern it. Miss Thom as is now teaching the spring term of the Young school. In our last week items, in speaking of the exhibition given at the Agree school house we stated that the Leonie Band furn ished the music for the occasion. That proved on further investig ation to be incorrect, and we hasten to correct the mistake. The band was to have played there, but did not come because most of the members were sick. It was a good exhibition any way and all that attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves. ------- -.x,— ^ CAMELS OF THE ARABS. Various Ways the Desert Nomads Use the Animals’ Milk. Nearly 90,000 camels are used In the vilayet of Bagdad as beasts of bur den, and with donkeys they form the only mea*«, of carrying goods to in land points. For a Common burden camel $30 is a fair price, though the trotters, or swift messenger camels, are worth more. A young camel can sometimes be had about Bagdad for as little as $3. or $-1. Besides its use for riding and carry- i ing purposes, the Mesopotamian Arabs depend on the camel for milk. Shoes are made from its tough, calloused hide, and in times of famine its brit tle. strong tasting flesh is eaten. Con densed milk, made by boiling fresh camel milk until evaporation leaves only a hard, cbalky substance, is prized among the desert nomads. By rubbing this substance between the hands it reduces to powder, and when mixed with warm water it makes a refreshing drink, highly esteemed among the desert folk. “Mereesy,” as it is called, will keep in good condition for two years. When made from but termilk it tastes sour and la prized among Arabs who have eaten much of sweet dates. Fresh, warm camel milk is also the food of many valua ble horses owned by desert sheiks. Camel calves are weaned in their eleventh or twelfth month. When a camel caravan is on the march the very young camels are often tied upon the backs of the mother animal, since they cannot endure the fatigue of a long march. Valuable dogs and Arab desert hounds, called “slugeys,” also ride in the same way.—Chicago Rec ord -JEterald. VIENNA DEATH NOTICES. They Read Like an Extract From a Family Hiatory. “Don't die in Vienna. You’ll be sor ry if you do," writes an American on his first visit to that city, “not be cause of the usual objections, but on account of the death notices in the papers. They appear flanked by all sorts of ads. and range In size ac cording to the desire for notice on the part of the family of the late la mented. Every possible title is men tioned, and the nnme of every mem ber of the family goes to make up the notice. A death announcement black bordered and covering half a page of the paper is nothing unusual. Here Is a sample: “ ‘Bruno Weiss, purveyor of lubri cating oil to his imperial and royal maj esty, and his wife, Amalie—born Hor sitzky—in their own and in the names of their children—Hans, Otto, Minna, Laura and Hilde—and their sons-in law, Military Surgeon Dr. Lois Kro binsky and Architect Oskar Jdlllnek; their daughters-in-law, Louise, born Lederpian, and Marie, boro Anspacker, as also in the names of their grand children’—here follows a long string ol names—‘and their mother and mother in-law, Frau Ernestine Winkler, relici of Commercial Councilor Anton Wink ler, announce to their friends the en trance into eternal rest, after a long and severe illness, of their dearly be loved son, Arthur, in the twenty-sixth year of his age.’ “This is correct except as to the names.”—New York Tribune. He Was Just Thinking. “Mary,” said a man to his spouse, who was gifted with a rapidly moving tongue, “did you ever hear the storj of the precious gems?” "No,” she replied. “What Is It?” “It’s a fairy legend that my grand mother told me when I was a boy,” the husband continued. “It was about a woman from whose lips fell a dia mond or a ruby at every word she spoke.” “Well?” said his wife as he pause. "That’s all there is of It, my dear,” he replied. “But 1 was Just thinking if such things happened nowadays 1 could make my fortune as a Jeweler.” Love of Trees. We find our most soothing compan ionship in trees among which we have lived, some of which we ourselves may have planted. We lean against them, and they never betray our trust, they shield us from the sun and from the rain, their spring welcome Is a new birth which never loses its freshness, they lay their beautiful robes at our feet In autumn; In winter they stand and wait, emblems of patience and of truth, for they hide nothing, not even the little ieaf buds which hint to us of hope, the last element In their triple symbolism.—Dr. O. W. Holmes. Above the Vulgar Gaze. Until 1870 it was against the law and sacred custom for any subject to look at the emperor of Japan. His political advisers and attendants saw only his back. When he first left the palace the shutters of all the houses had to be drawn, and no one was per mitted in the streets. Even today, yvhen the emperor has the privilege of driving through the streets like one iof his subjects, It is not considered quite proper to cast a glance at him. Exparienoe. “Experience is the best teacher,” quoted the wise guy. . “Yes, but her charges are mighty high,” added the simple mug.—Phila delphia Record. Naturally. "I heard he was In bad odor with her family. Is that true?” “Draw your own conclusions. It was a centless marriage.”—Baltimore Amer ican.
