THE SCENT OF A FLOWER.
Ae scent of the flower is a wonderful thing
It plays round the heart like the zephyr or

Bo subtle, so soft, so resistless its power.
No monarchy rules like the scent of aflower.
Some odors so Menu with past happier years
They move us like melodies breathing:
through tears;
For they briny back the faces andiormgthat
are cold, .
And walks in the wild woods "mid sunsets of
jjold.
A fratrrance exhales from flower tha I

SHIP OF THE DESERT.
What the Arab Calls the Most
IJsefUl of Beasts.
The Land of the Camel His Speed and
the Load He Carrie Ills Powers of
Endurance In the Service of
Warlike Sovereigns
The camel, whose area of serv
itude extends over a wide range,
embracing Arabia, India, Persia and
the largest portion of Africa, unlike
the rest of man's four-footed friends and
servants, seems to bo a total stranger
to tiie pleasures of freedom. At what
era men first enlisted the camel into
their service it is impossible to guess,
but that it was at a very early puriod is
plain from the fact that 0,000 camels
formed part of the wealth which the pa
tient patriarch was awarded after his
terrible trial The Moors daring their
rule in Granada "introduced the camel
into Spain, but the East was always the
real land of the camels, the peculiari
ties of the animal being especially
adapted for the vast deserts for which
that quarter of the globe is famous. To
carry men and merchandise across the
arid waste an animal was needed at
once speedy, untiring, sure-footed and
capable of subsisting where vegetation
was scanty and water scarce; all these
qualilications arc combined in the
camel. The pads of its spreading feet,
divided into two toes without being ex
ternally separated, prevent its sinking
in the sand, over which it moves so
noiselessly that it lias lceii poetically
and appropriately ttruied "the ship of
the desert," The culloiities on the
".flexures of the limbs and chest,
'upon which the animal rcts or kneels
to receive its load, prevent the skin
from cracking from contact with the
hot sand. The nostrils, closing at will,
. exclude the burning grains when the
simoon sweeps across the desert, while
.the peculiar contraction of the stomach
enables the camel to go without water
' for several days. He is as easily satis
lied ia the way of eating, delighting in
the tough plants he passes on his
march, which his strong, nipper-like
' . teeth enable him to masticate witli com
fort. These good qualities are not,
-however, unalloyed. The camel is
liable to slip in sloppy places and dis
joipt his hips, bears cold and wet
weather but ill, and has so little rc-
0 cuperative power that when fagged out
he generally succumbs altogether and
js left to the jackal and vultuie. Even
. if he should recover im becomes a poor,
weak object, piteous to behold, a burden
. to" himself and of little use to his
master.
. How many days the camel can go
without drinking has never perhaps
-been exactly ascertained; in faot, the
power of endurance varies greatly in
diflerent individuals, but it has been
stated on very good authority that the
dromedary can subsist nine days with-
.Ooat" water, -though exposed the whole
. time to a heat resembling that of a fur-
' nace. It is certain that when the camel
. does drink he always appears to be lay-
-. ing in a .-tockfor a week or so, and has
even "been known to swallow seven
. gallons and a half at one time. This
allows three quarts a day for ten
days, which, though not stiflicicnt
"properly to quench the thirst of
so large an animal, may yet be able to
.. keep.hiln alive. Comparative .anatomy,
which lias indulged in a legion of
. .experiments on the structure of much
" inferior animals, has not extended a
1 prope'r degree of attention to the camel.
v 'It has, no doubt, been ascertained that
this extraordinary creature jKWsesses
one stomach more than other niam-
malia. but curiosity has not been sulli-
. ciently.busy with thatimniense bladder,
. streaked with sanguine veins, which the
. animal sometimes blows out of its mouth
. .in spring.. In strings-of Jliirty of fortv
. I have-noticed, during the greatest heat
of the day, a majority amusing thom-
. selves after this fashion. . On such occa-
. ..sions they will raise their heads, look
around wildly and then, with -a strange. I
. otlerjsive noise, draw up .the. bag from
their throats and blow it. out intlated to
its fullest terit. as if to.cool it by the
r touch of. the external, air. In .a few
minutes tlwy would suffer it" to collapse
arid suck 1rback"witha ruckling noise
into their throats.. Is not this bag in
tended to contain, in- addition -to the
-fifth stomach! a supply of fresh water?

ol sight, a partial loss of memory and
.a bewildering of ideas. Foreigners flee
j to brandy as a remedy, the Arabs to
coffee, while the camel, Knecnng as u.
under a heavy burden, groans, grunts
and looks ruefully about upon the waste.
The amble of the camel a curious
amalgamation of rolling and pitching
ataultaneously executed would scarce
ly be extolled by any one accustomed
to the pleasant canter of a good horse,
but it has its advantages. The rider
may sit sideways, backwards or in the
orthodox fashion.with his feet in or ont
of the stirrups, he may let his legs
dangle carelessly or sit cross-legged,
after the manner of Turks and tailors,
without any fear of his seat or
equanimity being disturbed by the sure
footed beast stumbling, kicking, slrying
or bolting. A habit rather perplexing
to the inexperienced camel rider is the
animal's propensity for snatching at
dwarf acacias and other vegetable deli
cacies as he wanders along. But these
slight drawbacks re fully compensated
by the measured regularity with which
he moves, while the elevation enables
the traveler to see all that is to be seen,
and gives him the benefit of every wel
come breeze that blows. The riding
gear of the dromedary consists of a
large double pad of goats' hair cloth,
stuffed with grass or straw. This is
thrown over the back of the animal. A
wooden frame of flat sticks united into
a pair of conical pommels six or eight
feet high is placed on the pad, into
which it settles itself comfortably, the
hump of the camel forming the center
of the apparatus and keeping every
thing in its proper place. Across this
gigantic saddle the saddle bags are
thrown, and the whole covered with
carpets and cushions, until a sort of
P3ramid is formed, upon the apex of
which the traveler is perched, his water
bottles, carpet bags and other para
phernalia swinging below. The harness
is completed by a halter of goat and
camel hair twisted together passing
around the beast's nose like our com
mon stable baiter.
The average speed of the ordinary
caravan camels, which are seldom less
than ten hours and sometimes twenty
four hours continuously on the march,
is about two miles per hour, but the ma
herrie, or dromedary, can accomplish
a much swifter rate of progression, be
ing able to travel seventy miles a day
for two or three days successively. La
borde went from Alexandria to Cairo
(one hundred and fifty miles) in thirty
four hours, and mails have been carried
between Bagdad and Damascus in seven
days, at the rate of sixty-nine miles per
diem. Still greater celerity was at
tained by Mehemet Ali. when he wished
to communicate from Cairo with Ibra
him Pasha at Antioch. By adopting
the system of relays the distance of
five hundred and sixty miles was trav
ersed in the short apace of five days
and a half.
The camel not being himself sociable
is averse to encouraging sociability in
others. It is only after much toil and"
a vigorous application of the whip that
this stubborn animal can be made to
move in line with individuals of his own
species, though both in India and
Africa the enterprise has been accom
plished in the former country bv the
creation of camel trains, in the latter
by accustoming the dromedary to mili
tary evolutions, to charge and retreat in
compact Domes, aim ouierwise 10 iiuuaiw
all the movements of cavalry. But

through'theni. He will then oppose to
your will a passive resistance utterly
unconquerable; will He down it lie
thinks vou have put too much on his
back, and refuse to rise though you
should beat him to death. To show
that this is often a mere crotchet, the
Arabs remove two or three small pack
ets from the load, upou which the
animal, no doubt with an inward chuckle
of satisfaction at having gained the vic
tory, gives a loud grunt and rises with
out perceiving that during the operation
the packages have leeu restored. As,
however, he believes his load to have
been lightened he trudges along mer
rily, if so sullen a heart can ever be said
to "be merry. But though serious and
gloomy, this patient creature must not
bo .supposed to be entirely without sen
timent. When kindly treated, when
patted on the shoulder, when gently
spoken to, but more especially when
treated to a song, the dromedary will
exhibit strong signs of pleasure in his
prominent eye, will turn round his long
suake-likc neck, look at you stead
fastly, as if to express his thanks, and
then" gaze forth upon the outspread
desert more proudly than before.
The load for a camel in India is fixed
by the Government at 330 pounds; in
Arabia it varies from 360 to 400 pounds;
in Persia from 500 to COO pounds; in
Egypt it averages 800 pounds, while,
according to Tavernier, the Turcoman
camels will carry as much as l,.r00
pounds weight. Where the road is tol
erably good the burden camels of a car
avan' are tied to each other, the
noose rope ol one being fastened to the
the tail of another, and so they march
on, three to ten in a string, in single
file, and such creatures of routine are
they that a earael will refuse to proceed
if the camel before him is changed for
another. In Egypt caravans move
abreast, and one of fifty camels will
show a front for a mile in extent. The
pilgrim caravan pursues its route prin
cipally during the night, lighted on its
way with torches. It has been shorn of
much of its splendor in modern times.
Bagdad's celebrated ruler per
formed the pilgrimage to the Proph
et's shrine no less than nine times,
with a caravan of 120,000 camels, 900
of that enormous number being em
ployed in carrying Haroun's wardrobe.
The Sultan of Egypt was accompanied
by j00 camels laden with sweetmeats,
and 280 bearing pomegranates and
other fruits. Every year the Sultan of
Turkey sends a mahmal a beautiful
covering for tlieshrine of Mohammed
to Mecca. The camel honored by being
chosen for carpet bearer is magnificently
adorned with ribbons, lace, feathers
and imitative gems. When Hasselquist
saw the procession start from Cainr-in
1750 this favored beast carried a pyra
midal pavilion six feet high, covered
with green silk, under which the mah
mal was supposed to lie; but, like other
great officials, the carpet camel did his
work by deputy, the precious gift being
actually carried by some of his less
fortunate brethren. As a reward for
not doing it," the mahmal camel be
comes exempt from all labor for the
rest of his life, which" i passed in a
lodging provided for his special use,

ANESTHETICS.
Son Costly Drugs WUat the ATcrage
Man or Woman Seeluat Drug Shops.
"What is cocaine hydrochloride, the
new anajsthetic, worth per ounce?"
asked a Daily News reporter of a local,
druggist.
"Five hundred dollars," he replied,
'and it is not likely to be any cheaper
for some time to come. However, so
small a quantity of the solution is re
quired for each operation that the cost
to the patient need not be very great'
"Why is it so expensive?"
"Because the salts of cocaine had. be
fore this new demaud arose, but a very
limited sale in this country and whole
sale dealers carried but small stocks.
At last accouuts the supply of the al
kaloid in New York had been ex
hausted, while orders have accumulated
in hundreds. The demand in Europe,
likewise, has been so great as to deplete
the stock of the (Jerman manutacturers,
The stocks of coca leaves both in Europe
and America are reported to be small
and of inferior quality, so that the pros
pect of supplving large amounts of 'the
alkaloid in the near future seems not
very good. You know, of course, that
the value of this anaesthetic, so far as
demonstrated at present, is confined to
operations upon the eye. It has been
proved in the majority of cases that an
application to the eye of a few drops of
two or four percent, solution will pro
duce a more or less complete, transient
insensibility to pain. Operations ordi
narily requiring the use of chloro
form or ether nave been performed
upon patients conscious of every
thing being done, but saved from pain
by a weak aqueous solution of this salt
Outside of opthalmic practice this sub
stance has not been universally so suc
cessful, although it has been used for a
month or six weeks by some Chicago
dentists. It acts only on the mucous
membrane, and appears to have no ef
fect on the bone. Dentists use it on
teeth requiring treatment and the re
moval of the nerves. One told me the
other day that he had placed a cotton
saturated with a few drops of a four
per cent solution on the exposed nerve
of a patient's tooth and removed the
nerve without her experiencing any se
verer pain than what would be occa
sioned by the prick of a pin. Another
claim set up for it is that it will cure
drunkenness and morphine taking,
completely paralyzing the craving for
either alcohol or opium. Au individ
ual cured of either propensity by its use
is said to have no relapses, ami the dis
use of the cocoa is easily eradicated. It
is more difficult to cure alcoholism
with it than morphine-eating, for there
is a direct antagonism between oo
caine and mophine.
"Another drug for which the demand
is greater than the supply at present is
antipyrin. It has been used with great
success in New York hospital practice.
It possesses a remarkable power of low
ering the temperature in cases of fever.
It is an article manufactured aud sent
out by a German firm. The composi
tion of it has not been disclosed.
"A great niany curious substances
and many expensive ones are used as
drags, llyoscyamin, for instance, a
narcotic used" in conjunction and in
place of opium and its alkaloids, is
worth 5100 per ounce. Erseni. a prep
aration made from the Calabar bean
and used in epilepsy, fevers, rheuma
tism, and for local applications, is
valued at 2123 per ounce. The Calabar
bean has something the same properties
is strychniue. and serves as a nerve
tonic. Morphine is expensive, ranging
in price from $4 to $-3 per ounce. Of
its various salts bimeconate is the most
costly and brings 5i0 pr -ounce. Chlo
ride of gold is worth l5 per ounce. It
is used for scrofula and various chronic
diseases of the blood. Musk is wortli
$10 an ounce. It is used most largely,
of course, as a perfume, but occasion
ally to relieve spasms. It is obtained
from the musk ox. It is used for burns
by the Chinese. It is believed the
Chinese have knowledge of many valu
able remedies which would be of great
benefit to science, but they jealously
guard their secrets. Ergotin is a curi
ous but inexpensive drug, baing worth
but 31 cents an ounce at wholesale. It
is used in apoplexy. It is a fnngus
growth found on rye in Normandy.
A similar growth on the rjo In
this country contains very little
ergotin, even less than that found
in tho siuut on corn. The wild
ginseng root was tised a few years ago
extensively as a tonic, many persons
smoking it. The demand is "less now.
Seme people in the Wisconsin woods
really made a living searching out the
wild ginseng. Its roots are ver3' fine
and light and it requires a considerablo
quantity to make a pound. It seems to
necessitate the possession of a peculiar
instinct to disepver where it grows
something like that which leads wild
bee trackers to the haunts where the
bees have stored their honey. The
most successful ginseug gathorer I ever
knew was an oldwonian nearly seventy.
"There are many valuable metals
used in pharmacy. Vanadium, a white
metal discovered in 1830, is worth $10,
000 per avoirdupois pound. An alka
line metal called rubidium is worth $9,
070 per pound. Zirconium, a metal ob
tained from zircon and hyacinth in the
form of a black powder, is worth S7,200
per pound. Terbium, a Swedish metal,
is worth $4,080 per pound. There are
many others of .great value used as
medicines. Magnesium, the metal base
of 'common magnesia' is valued at $04
per pound."
"What are the most commonly called
for drugs?"
"O, arnica, alum, rhubarb, sulphur,
castor oil, ipecac, epsom and Rochelle
salts, qninine, and cream of tartar. A
weak solution of cream of tartar and
water is excellent for watery eyes and
redness of the lids. The majority of
the people do not know that, however,
and buy to take inwardly. Nearly
every one buys ammonia and glycerine.
Borax is something else for which there
is continued demand. There are few
persons who have knowledge of any but
the simplest drugs. They neither know
the names of medicines, nor their prop
erties when they do. It is this igno
rance of remedies for ordinary com
plaints that make certain well-advertised
'patent' medveiues sell so extensive

vannted as a cure for every ill under
the sun, aud if it chances to relieve a
slight cough, for instance., it will find
credulous believers iu its ellicacy as a

replied, I give him aniodicine we keep

We always take it when anything ails
us.' That is a good illustration of the
prevalent ignorance of drugs and their
uses," concluded the gentleman, as he
took upa bottle of sandalwood cologne
and began daintily sniffing it Chicayo

A citizen bf Pipesville, Ohio, writes
to a New York paper of a discovery he
made in regard to the distance the sun is
from the earth. The gentleman is evi
dently sincere. He says: "I meas

RATTLESNAKES.
Da The j Become Blind Some Iaterestlsg
experiments.
Wiiiln walking along the wharf at
Cleveland, p., about fifty .years ago,
I was asked" by a man if I did not wish
to buy twa'pet rattlesnakes. I replied
no. Tiieyquestion was so novel, how
ever, I turned back to see what he had
in a boxsome two feet square. He with
drew the sl'de on top and through the
glass were seeii, coiled up. a spotted
rattlesnake some three to four feet in
length, with six rattles, and a black
rattlesnake two to two and a half feet
long, with three rattles. I bought them
tosettle a dispute then being dismissed
in the papers whether they went blind
in August I paid the price, five dollars,
and sent them on one of ray canal oats
to Circleville, O., where I resided.
Some of my friends, said the man
claimed to be a snake charmer and
followed it as a business to take them
for sale. He seemed a quiet, modest
man. His only reply to my inquiry as
to the modus operandi was that he
could take them with impunity wherever
he found them.
On my return home I caught a mouse
and put it in the box with tho snakes.
It remained a few days uninjured and I
fave it the freedom of the warehouse,
hose pet snakes remained from some
time in April until September, over four
months, without drink or nourishment
other than the dust of tho warehouse.
Some time in August a film came over
the eyes of the snakes, which increased
to a heavy white scale. Their skins be
came dull and rusty. I do not recollect
now long they remained in this condi
tion. 1 think, however most of the
mouth, when I discovered they had shed
off tueir old skins and had bright eyes
and an entirely new dress. This last
operation was "completed most likely in
one night If it had been gradual it
would have been observed, as they were
in sight of several persons all the time.
It was conjectured this snake-charmer
oxtracted the fangs in some way. Some
years ago I was shown the skull of a
rattlesnake of enormous size by Dr. Ka
pell, of Humboldt. Kau. It had been
killed in Western Kansas during the
war b some one of the Union army, of
which he was a surgeon. It had. I
think he told me, twenty-eight rattles.
It was an old settler, and of such im
mense size that the doctor preserved its
skull. On each side of the upper jaw
was a row of fangs decreasing in size
gradually until not larger than a needle.
Nature provided for this means of de
fense so that if the larger fangs were de
stroyed others were ready in turn to
supply their place for years. It settled
the question that the snake charmer's
means of haiidlingsuakes with impunity
was not by removing the faugs.
As a contribution to natural philosophy
I can certify that rattlesnakes can live
in good health for over four months
without drink or food ; that in August
they go blind for some time, their eyes
covered entirely over with white scales,
followed by the shedding of the entire
old skin of" their bodies.
Having accomplished ray object I pre
sented the box of snakes to a young
friend of mine in Virginia. The slide
was secured and it was sent to f lis friend
in New York, "Glass with care."
That was the last I heard of them, for
which I was truly thankful, as about
the same time a valuable life was lost
marked by a present of a similar kind.
Mr. Wainwright, one of the most emi
nent physicians of New York City, re
ceived from his brother a large rattle
snake, sent here from Savannah. He
took it to the hotel to exhibit to his
friends. On trying to get it back iu the
box from which he had very uu
wisely taken it, it struck " him
on the hand, and doubtless on an
artery. He went home, and surrounded
by his family and man)' prominent phy
sicians, died in a few hours, nilting in
his chair. He described all his symp
toms and feelings until death caino.
nothing could be more intensely inter
esting, as well as horrible, than the ac
count contained in the papers at the
time. Death from this poison does not
result from Increased circulation, but
from its final suspension, from coagu
latiou of the blood. Dr. Wainwright
gave an intelligent and scientific des
cription of its progress from the extrem
ity until just as his heart ceased to beat
It produced vctv great excitement all
over the country. Southern papers
claimed that liquor iu large quantities,
to have kept up the circulation, would
have cured fcim. A man of the South
took large quantities of whisky to avoid
the horrors of death from a snake bite,
and was cured. JChis is the origin of this
remedy, which is now generally used.

A SOCIAL TYPE.
The Cn
PlS ol
House.
the Boardlasr
A person frequently met with at the
seaside is the boarding-house pig. The
breakfast bell has hardly sounded
when you see him scuttling down the
stairs, pushing and jostling ever one;
when you reach the room he is already
seated"; he has gathered two or three
eggs, some bacon and sundry and divers
other articles around his plate, but still
he is not happy; he watches the door
with breathless interest there are
always one or two delicious little dishes
brought in delightfully hot at the last
moment; perhaps it is kidneys, perhaps
chops and mushrooms; anyway the pig
wants them.
The waiter and dish appear the pig
gets wonderfully agitated; the waiter
comes nearer and nearer the pig
watches him eagerly and calls his name;
the coveted dish is put t4wn two or
three persons away from him; ho sighs
and leans forward.
"Mr. Grey," he says, "may I trouble
you for those kidneys? I'er 1'mm,"
smiling, particularly' partial to them,
so if you would be so kind."
Mr. Grej-, perhaps, replies that others
nearer to him arc also partial to them,
and the dish is cleared before the pig's
face, the blood surges up into his head,
and his eyes grow watery with vexation.
He falls to on his eggs, etc., still'" keep
ing a shaq) lookout at the door; when
the next dish appears ha starts up,

An nmus t;r incident in connection

Nettle cultivation is now being
tried in Germany for the sake of the
strong fiber. A lady at Langensehwal
bach, near Wiesbaden, has made very
successful experiments with the weed
during the Jast few months, and has
now 'persuaded several .neighboring
agriculturists to plant an acre of first
class wneat land with nettles, to see .
the quality of the fiber can be im
proved. The oldest specimen of pure glass
bearing anything like a date is a little
molded lion's head, bearing the nai.io
of an Egyptian King of the eleventh
dvnastv, in the Slade collection at the
British" Museum. That is to sav, at tho
period which raav lie moderately placed ,
at more than 2,000 years B. C, glass '
was not only made, but made with a
skill which "shows that the art was
nothing new even at that time.

LONDON MARKETS.
Tlie Kiiarinuut Quantity of Food Required
to Supply tlio W.iuU of Londoner.
Last vear iu Hillingsgate alone and
its neighboring .streets over 146,000
tons of lish were landed. In much less
time than it would take a lady to tix
herself for an afternoon call I have
seen the contents of fields and. fields o(
potatoes aud cabbages unloaded in
Covent Garden. The Monday before
Christinas 2.1:59 tons of beef, represent
ing a herd of about G.51D bullocks, were
hooked in the Smithtield market, and
on the following day, a Tuesday, 1 had
a capital luncheon on board the Elder
si':, a steamship just arrived from New
Zealand w'th ii.OvK) carcasses of prime
mutton. The day before Christma-- I
was loalintr in the Leadenhall market,
an uugrudging bazaar, where, accord
ing to your fancy, you can get as l.ttle
as a dead lark of as much as a liv n
titer. The place was so encumbered
with poultry, meat, game and other
provs'ons that thi difficulty of the
ouvers to cet at the sellers was only
equalled by tlicimpossib lity of the lat
ter to sallyon the former. A Spanish
Amha-sador once told Charles II. that
mo:e provisions were sold in that mart
than in all Spain. 1 bet that if the
Queen would kindly take the present
Spanish representat-ve round the same
place her Majesty would probably hear
the same .-peerh.
The Englishman lives very wellwhen
he can, and always wastes. I specu
late that tw ce the actual populat on of
London, if it were Dutch, would live
here luMir'ously onwhat is hardly sulli

Long has England ceased to produce
enough food for her children. In an
average yea, say 1883, the London
centr.il markets sold 181,029 tons o
Englu-h meat and as much as 42.J054
ton- of foreign meat, 20,798 tons of
wh.eh were from the United Slater.
Each ear the proportion of foreign
meat landed here increases. The full
olliciai report for the vear 18.81 has not
been published, bat 1' know that Aus
traliaand New Zealand have, duririgthat

can trade, which has been dull for a
little while, is looking ap again, and
tho-e interested will no doubt hearwith
pleasure that the private company,
principally composed of salesmen hav
ing the r stores at Smithfield Market,
which had built hard by some cold-air
stores for the keeping of all perishable
prov sions, are considerably extending
them. These stores can already take
in from 800 to 900 tons of meat, and
will soon be capable of. sheltering
double that quantity. -Salesmen will,
therefore, be able to keep the meat its
long as they cau get a remunerative price
for .t. instead of having to throw it
away after a certain timo'regardless of
lo. I have viVited these stores. Their
temperature, kept down by splendid
