Minnesota Comml:snoner Before House Committee. Washington, May 17.—The Interests of the dairymen were represented be- fore the house committee on agricul- ture by Andrew Krench, state dairy and food comniissioner of Minnesota. After sketching the growth of the dairy interests in Minnesota in twen- ty vears Mr. French urged the com- mittee to guard all proposed legisla- tion to insure the sale of butter as butter and of all imitations of butter a8 imitations. The question of coloration was the one issue, he declared, between the dairymen and the oleomargarine man- ufacturers. “Man Higher Up” on Trial. New York, May 17.—Charles R.

Rescuing a Camel. The camel has been called the “ship of the desert.” Like the ship, he may be capsized, and in that predicament he is helpless. His 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- dain in the account of his journey, *“From Pekin to Sikkim:" “The caravan was made up of cam- els. I had brought some new ones and 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 ell are, managed to tumble into a dltch of thick mud between the road and a wheatfield. When once fallen a camel can onfy get up again if it can arrange its feet conveniently un- der it and 1f 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 camel’s back.” Welcoming the Traveler. 1 have always had a good opinfon of the enterprise of the life insurance agent. It has seemed to me that the busy bee is a lazy ne’er-do-well com- pared with him. Recently this opin- fon has been strengthened. An old colored Servant living in a nelghboring 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 t'lngs I done tuk out a life insurance policy fo' fi* hun'ed dollahs.” “Why, what on earth do you want with a life insurance policy? You have no wife or children!” “Dat’s what I done tol’ him, but X had t’ take it, mll de same, De agent man, he met me at de boat landin’, an’ he sald I'd hat t* have one or he'd sen’ me back home. He warn't gwine fo* t* ‘low me t’ land if I didn’t buy one. Dey don't ’low no one in New Yawk 'less | dey has a ’subance policy!”"—Woman's Home Companion, An Astrologer’s Letter. An astrologer's letter to President Van Buren forecasting the results of his electlon In 1840 1s in the llbrary of congress and perhaps glves a crude {dea of some of the fallacles of our grandfathers. The following are some extracts: “In this horoscope the-as- cendant directed to the semisquare of Mars would be in operation about the middle of the fourth year, October, 1785, and might cause sickness, * * * flux or hurt by wounds,” ete. * ¢ * “I have opened the horoscope for Gen- eral Harrison, which accords with the chief events of his past life and which 1f ‘right he will not fill the office of president during the next term even If elected. And the danger 1 appre- hend to yourself Is not from your pub- llc opponents, but from those on whom you repose confidence.” Those who are superstitious may be Inclined to credit this star gazer with some meas- ure of wisdom, for Harrison, although elected, died n month after his inaun- guration.—New York Post. Home Loving Montenegrins. Nowhere is love of country more in- tense than among the Montenegrins, to whom exile Is the greatest of pun- ishments. When W. J. Stillman was there In the seventies all the free men were away fighting, and he observed that when a messenger was wanted the official took a man out of the pris- on and sent him off, with no fear that he would not return. One such mes- senger was sent to Cattaro, In Aus. trian territery, with a large sum of money for the bank, and he duly came back. Another asked a Russian at Cattaro to intercede with Prince Nich- olas for his release from prison. “But you are not In prison,” said the Rus- slan. “Oh,” said the man, “I have only come down for a load of skins for So-and-so; but T must go Into pris- on ggain when I get back to Cettinje.” One prison guard watched all the pris- oners when- they sunned themselves out of doors, and if he was called away a prisoner would take his rifle and act As sentry for the tlme.
