little refreshment would be in keep

Bread and butter and tea are quite
enough for this bite, though, of course,
there is no objection to making it
more elaborate. However, remember
that, the mere expense one is put to
the less likelihood there will he of
the continuance of these agreeable
little functions, and if half of the club
members are without servants there
is the bother to consider. The visit

be anything of a person she must ac
quire some knowledge of the grander
literature, of plays, fine novels and

So why not have as entertainer for
every meeting some person set apart
by appointment, who will read aloud

Why?
Why are the camel’s feet provided
with large cushions or pads?
Because a loot thus furnished is
best adapted for treading upon sand.
The foot of the camel is planted with
a heavy downward stamp, and lifted
up straight and high. The oval cush
ion underneath meets the sand with a
solid pressure and has little tendency
to sink into it. The extremities of
the toes are fortified by flat nails,
which have a very slight resemblance
to proper hoofs. These give firmness
to the cushion that lies underneath.

tor of heat, prevents the heat of the
sands from distressing the animal on
its journey. The camel’s natural food
consists, not of meadow herbage and
fat pastures, in which most of the
ruminants delight, but of thorny
shrubs, date leaves and the leaves
and branches of the tamarisk.

After the show, while he was taking

his appearance in the doorway.
“Are you Mr. Blank?” inquired the
old man.
“Yes," replied Shorty, as he motion
ed him to be seated.
“Well,” the old man continued, “I
just wanted to tell you something. I’ve
been watching your acting tonight.
You should not be plajing in this
town; you should be with Mansfield
