Traveling in Arabia.

Camels and dromedaries are amazingly adapted for traversing the dry and parched deserts of Arabia ; for they are so formed that they can throw up the liquid from their stomachs into their throats, by which means they can travel six or eight days without water. The camels usually carry 800 pounds’ weight upon their backs, which is not taken off during the whole of the journey; for they naturally kneel down to rest, and in due time rise with the load. The dromedary is a small camel, with two bunches on its back, and remarkably swift. It is an observation among the Arabs that wherever there are trees the water is not far off; and, when they draw near a pool, their camels will smeil at a great distance, and set up their fast trot until they come to it. When it is fully recognized that one of the first and highest rights of the Baby is to have a bottle of Dr. Bull’s Baby Bymp, there will be more rest for the household and comfort for the little one. A. H. Clark, of Groton, Mass., has a ram that thinks. It thinks enough to butt apple trees, when there is fruit on them, until the apples drop off, when it stops thinking and goes to eating. [Fort Wayne (Ind.) Staats Zeitung.] Mr. R. Sigel, from Monroeville, Ind., called the other day at our office, and informed us that he had read in our paper of the Hamburg Drops, and had tested the real worth of the remedy. The case of Mrs. Sigel was declared a hopeless one by some of the best physicians. Having tried almost everything, she concluded also to use Hamburg Drops. With the use of the first bottle came relief, and about five bottles of the remedy cured Mrs. Sigel. The value of the annual fruit crop of the United States is estimated by the Commissioner on Statistics as follows : Apples, $51,000,000; peaches, $50,000,000; pears and strawberries, each, $15,000,000. The annual export of canned fruits is placed at over $1,000,000. [Cleveland (Ohio) Plain Dealer.] Mr. N. K. McDole, the well known passenger agent of the Northern Transit Company, sounded this morning in our office the first note of spring on his celebrated hand bugle. We are pleased to note that his right arm is all right again, thanks to 3t> Jacobs Oil,
