Opportunity Items.
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.

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.
Health lies In labor, and there la no
earthly royal road to It but) through
toil.—Wendell Phillips. r|ir..j
