He soon found one to his liking, paid the clerk the price, and asked that It be delivered to his address. He returned home a few hours later, found the trunk ahead of him and stored it away, thinking; no more about It. Yesterday he had occasion to utilise his new purchase, and opening it, was astonished to find that It contained a full assortment of hats of various kinds and alses, and valued at many dollars. He thought about April fools day, when he bought the trunk, but a second thought convinced blm that the Joke was on somebody else. Last night he came to town and cal led on the store keeper who sold him the trunk, and Inquired if he were short of hats, but the reply failed to throw any light on the mystery. Jennings then concluded that a mis take had been made, and related his experience. The hats, which had been placed In the trunk and fetgetten, were returned to the store the next day.

Uses of the Camel. The Somali camel will eat every thing and drink nothing;. It will make a meal where even the country pony would starve. Darenao, mimosa, aca- cla all come alike to it; and when shoots and leaves are withered It can fall back, on roots, thorns and bark. That sort of digestion makes it, of course, valuable In a country where the bill of fare seems compiled In the Interests of the carnlvora, but its In, difference to liquid la ita special vir tue. While the Arab camel needs drink dr ily, his Somali brethern when on the march are watered only every fifth day, and when draught prevails may be left for ten. When grazing they are supposed to be watered every sixth day, but such regularity depends cn the energy of the herders and the condition of the grass, the herds when grass is green being often left without water for as long aa three months. eral court cannot help It.
