the medicinal demand for the drug,
and steps to that end have already
been taken. . Ulots in some puppy

The Arabs, clever horsemen as the;
ire, are quite as liable to accident u
English grooms. But the Arab likes to
be kicked by a thoroughbred horse and
cannot endure to be put to any pain by
an animal whose pedigree Is at all de
fective. An English surgeon bad been
setting the broken leg of an Arub who
complained more of the accident that
bad befallen him than was thought be

surgeon remarked to blm, and his an
swer was truly characteristic. "Do yon
think, doctor. I should have uttered t
word of complaint if my own high

both my legs? But to have a dodo
broken by a brute of a Jnekass is too
bad, aud I will complain!"
