stor i •> camel's rwnge, wtilcb
serves to illustrate this point:
A lad of 14 had conducted a
large camel, Jaden with wood,
from one village to another, at a
half-hour's distance. As the ani-
mal loitered, or turned out of the
way, its conductor struck it re-
peatedly, and harder than it
seemed to have thought he had a
right to do. But not finding t^e
occasion .favorable for taking iin
quits, it'' bodeJts t i
time was not long in corn-
log. A few day later the same
lad had to reconduct the beast,
but unladen, to his own village.
When they were about half way
on the road, and .'it some distance
from a*iy habitation, tkc camel
suddenly stopped, looked deliber-
ately round in every (U-ection to
assure itself that no one was
within sight, and, finding the
load far and near clear of pass-
ers-by, made a step forward,
seized the unlucky boy'-< head in
its monstrous mouth, and lifting
him up in the air, flung him down
again on the earth With the up
per part of his skull completely
torn off an 1 his brains scattered
on the ground
Having thus satisfied its re
vengo. the ' rute quiet'y resumed
its pare toward the village as
though nothing were the matter,
tiil some men, who had observed
the whole, though unfortunately
ut too great a distance to be able
to afford timely help, came up

MEASURED IN HORSE POWER
it Was Xeedless to Alk.
The Saiv Francisco Wave says
Sergeant Pierson of the Rough
Riders was one of/the best-liked
men in his company, but he
couldn't tolerate fool questions.
On the morning of July 3, before
Santiago, he sat on the bank of
the intrenchmenthinking coffee.
He wasureallv cafcsing himself
unne«Kirily. of the men
liear^UFwas nervously watching
hljfjk TMfdr eyes met, and the
privatqiT«omewhat embarrassed,
remarked for lack of something
tetter To say: '"Are you taking a
eup|>f coffee?'' A loot of disgust
spread over Pierson's mobile
countenance "Am I taking cof-
•fee?" he began, mockingly. A
Mauser bullet knocked the coffee
from his hand. ''No, sir," he con-
tinued with added sarcasm, "I am
tot taking coffee"
Expression of Strength of Various En-
gines of To-day Remains Unchanged
Since Invention.
When the steam engine was placed
upon a commercial basis by Watt
and his successors it seemed entirely
natural that its power should be
expressed in term 8 of the effort of a
horse and in spite of all later sug-
gestions for new units the horse-
power remains as the measure of the
greatest aid to human effort which
has yet been produced.
The engines of to-day have their
power expressed in terms of thou-
sands of horses and this power is
distributed and applied very largely
by means of electricity, this method
permitting both a convenient distri-
bution and unequaled facility in
control and manipulation.
The horse-power is expressed in
terms of foot pounds, or in other
words by means of the idea of lifting
a weight, and it is to the lifting of
weights that electrically transmitted
power has been most effectviely ap-
plied.—Cassier's Magazine.
WHY HE MARRIED HERE.
When the clergyman had finished
marrying the young couple from
Massachusetts and was at his desk
writing out the marriage certificate
the woman who had acted as witness
said to the bridegroom:
"It's awfully hard to get around a
New York certificate. It's the hard-
est place in the world to get a di-
vorce. Why did you come here to
be married? Why didn't you go to
New Jersey?"
"I came here for that very rea-
son," smiled the bridegroom, with a
side glance at his bride, who was
about a head taller than he was. "I
want it to be hard for her to get
a divorce, so hard she won't get
one."
"What do you think of that?"
asked the woman of the clergyman.
"At least," said he as he signed
his name, "it is unusual."—New
York Press.
SAVED BY A CORK LEG.
A boat in which Jeremiah Hen-
drickson and a friend were fishing
in Mud lake, near St. Paul, Minn.,
capsized the other day, and the men
were thrown into the water away
from the drifting skiff.
Hendrickson, who haa a cork leg,
took it off and used it as a float. His
companion, who is a swimmer, soon

moned aid and Hendrickson was
brought ashore in another boat, none
the worse for his experience.
ROMANCE OF A CHRISTENING.
Caroline Lady Saye and Sele,
who has died in Hereford, where she
has resided since her marriage in
1857, with the sixteenth Lord Saye
and Sele, canon of Hereford cathe-
dral, was the third daughter of the
first Lord Leigh and sister of the
dean of Hereford and the late Lord
Leigh. Her husband had the re-
markable experience of christening
the lady who afterward became his
wife.—London Standard.

Blackburn, a man, seeming'v
somewhat tipsy, accosted a num-

wer standing by a factory gato
one dinner-time and rather rough-

"Say, lend me a match."
One young chap, atruck by th«
peculiarity of the request, and
thinking to raise a laugh at the
drunken fellows' expense, drew a
box of matches from his pocket,
handed the other a match, and
then sharply said:
"But when will you retnrn the
match?"
"Alter the strike!" came the
answer as quickly as it waa un-
expected.—Tit Bits.
