' “ One of the camels—the seven were lying just beyond' the “circle of fire- light —rose ' complaining. Mustafa's Ahmed slipped away upon his duty. Presently I heard his guttural cawing to get the camel again to rest, but the beast would not down and must be beaten, the boy meanwhile mouthing great curses. I wondered that a being 80 small should without peril to him- self strike a creature like this with his fist,” continuing’ all the time : within reach of teeth and hoofs. 5 “I will tell the khawaja,” replied Mustafa, “a most curious and interest- ing thing about this* Ahmed had mastered the camel and now came to his place. “The kbawaja has observed,” Musta- fa continued, “that a child may beat and command a camel.

The camel's eyes are lke magnifying glasses and increase the stature of his master seven tlmes, wherefore he is obedient to the gigantic appearing creature.” In Damascus, too, I heard this super- -stition.—Norman Duncan in Harper's ‘A writer in an English weekly de- clares that if we want to know what the other person is thinking we must look at his or her hands.

Long practice in self control will enable one to keep onme's voice sweetly cordial when there is nothing but indifference or cold dislike behind it. The eyes can be made to shoot glances which are not at all a register for the emotions. But the hands, it is asserted, are utterly beyond the con- trol of those to whom they belong. Even people who hardly gesticulate at all—and to keep the hands still is con- sidered by the Anglo-Saxon a most es- sential part of good breeding—even these people are, it seems, constantly revealing themselves in little move- ments of the hands. The immortal Mul- vaney has put it on record that a wo- man’s truth or untruth can be dis- cerned by the action of her hands. Of course it takes a practiced reader to Interpret what the hands are saying. It is not a case of “he who runs may read.” Queer Furs. “This is cat fur,” sald a furrier. “We use it for linings. An excellent lining cat fur makes too. Dogs, calves, colts, coons, opossums, bats, rats—any animal that wears fur, in fact, is sala- ble in the fur market. Bat hair is felted up with other stuff into an imi- tation skin. It is also used, I belleve, in rope plaiting. The dog, the coon and the opossum yleld a fur that, prop- erly treated, makes a very handsome lining. Rat skins are employed In cer- tain delicate repairs, and they also serve to form the thumbs of cheap gloves. A queer thing about the fur business is that the furs must be taken in the dead of winter. The trapper must work under the cruelest climatic conditions. Only thus is the fur at'its best. The dresser, on the other hand, ‘who could work best in cold weather, must do all his ‘work in the heat of summer or otherwise he would not be able to keep up with the changing fashions.”—Exchange. ‘The Magical Mirror. An ordinary mirror of any size or shape, a piece of French chalk pointed 80 that it can be used to write and a silk handkerchief are the requisites. Draw upon the mirror with the chalk any design or words you choose. ‘With the handkerchief ‘wipe the glass light- 1y untll it is perfectly clear and no writing or design is apparent. Having all this prepared beforehand, show to some one and request that he breathe gently on the face of the glass, when he will see a picture of his future wife, for the design drawn will show very distinctly. This can again be wiped off, and if breathed mpon the design will be again visible. An Odorless Disinfectant. It one objects t6 the odor of carbolic acid, he may use for the plumbing an odorless disinfectant prepared as fol- lows: Dissolve half a pound of per- manganate of potash in four gallons of water and pour this carefully down the pipes. This solution; if allowed to stand in bowls or basins, will stain them purple, The stains may be re- moved with a weak solittion of oxalic acid. The acid must be rinsed off im- this morning from the company’s camps near Northome where he spent a few days giving his personal at- tention to the progress of the work.
