Rescuing a Carnal
The camel has been called the ship
of the desert LIHe the ship he may
be capsized nnd In that predicament
he is helpless Ills manner of lying
down to rest Is to fold his legs be
neath his body If he happens to roll
upon his side he cannot recover his
feet again This infirmity of the ani
mal is mentioned by the Count de Les
dnln in the account of his journey
From Pekin to SIkkIm
The caravan was made up of cam
els I had brought some new one
nnd had no Idea of taking any other
animals into a country largely com
posed of loose sand An amusing in
cident marked the beginning of our
march One camel awkward as they
all are managed to tumble Into a
ditch of thick mud between the road
nnd a wheatfield When once fallen
n camel can only get up again if it
can arrange Its feet conveniently un
der it and if the ground is nearly flat
In this case it was not so The ani
mal lay with all four feet in the air
perfectly resigned and incapable of a
single movement to help Itself To
draw it out took more than half an
hour and required the united efforts
of many men with cords passed under
the camels back
Welcoming the Traveler
I have always had a good opinion oi
the enterprise of the life insurance
agent It has seemed to me that the
busy bee is a lazy com
pared with him Recently this opin
ion lias been strengthened
An old colored servant living iu a
neighboring family made his first trip
away from home and visited relatives
in New York
On his return to Louisiana he was
asked what he did while in the north
Well mong uddah tings I done tufc
out a life insurance policy fo fi huned
dollahs
Why what on earth do you wanl
with a life insurance policy You havt
no wife or children
Dats what I done toP him but 1
had t take it all de same De agenl
man he met me at de boat landin an
he said Id haf t have one or hed sen

Economy of Costly Foods
The economy of expensive foods is
explained by the fact that digestion
at least in man is dependent upon
flavors without which it Is so defec
tive that we do not obtain the good of
the food we swallow As far as ex
periments go they substantiate these
assertions for the sight and smell ci
pleasing food start the flow of di
gestive fluids while disagreeable odors
and sight stop it Delicatessen then
would seem to be staples for they are
necessary The talk of being able tc
subsist on a few cents a day is simply
nonsense and leads to deterioration oi
health What seems to be extrava
gance in food purchases may be
wholesome instinct The high cost ol
living is partly due to the cost of the
flavors we need We commend thest
ideas to our worthy dietetic econo
mists Laymen may not be so foolisH
as the physiologists themselves

A Novel Method of Advertising
A storekeeper in a small out of tlu
way town many years ago hit upon s
novel method of advertising his store
He conceived the idea of buying ur
the stock of stamps at the postoffict
across the way The postmaster ob
jected to be denuded of all his stock
but iiis mysterious customer demanded
the stamps over the counter sheet aft
er sheet as an ordinary member ol
the public until he had bought everj
stamp to be had Then he took the
stock over to his store across the road
and plastered his windows with no
tices that postage stamps were onlj
to be had at his store and to his mor
tification the postmaster had to send
customers across to the store over tht
way for any stamps they needed unti
some days after he once more got in
stock from headquarters
Won a Wife by His Skill
Action was a Grecian painter oi

judges cried in admiration I reserve

Very Lucky
The following is a genuine essay by

and threw us out of the trap my

Abilities to see and to utilize of Ben
I Franklin One day he chanced to ob
1 serve a lady in the possession of an
imported whisk broom With his usual
i interest and careful consideration he
examined it as a novelty He discov
ered on the brush of the broom a seed
which he carefully removed Present
ly he planted it and the growth from
this seed was the first crop of broom
gave cuttings to his friend Mr Charles
Norris who planted the twigs in his
garden where they grew to great size
They turned out to be yellow willows
and as Franklin had foreseen proved
of great commercial value
Found a Better Place
Mark Twain said Once when I was
going out to visit some friends I told
George my negro servant to lock the
house and put the key under a certain
stone near the steps He agreed to
do so It was late at night when I re
turned I went to the stone under
which the key was supposed to have
been hidden It was gone I huuted
around for about fifteen minutes but
still no key Finally I went to
Georges house he roomed outside
and rapped vigorously upon the door
A black head which I had no dif
ficulty in recognizing as Georges pop
ped out of an upstairs window
Where did you put that key you
black rascal I roared
Oh massa answered George I
found a better place for it
