An amtwing Ule kiold of an old' Arab, the father of one of General Lapcrriae's men. lie was antelope hunting, and when half dead with thirst ho reached a well forty-five feet deep. At the bottom he could see tho delicious water, but, like Tantalus could not reach it Unlike tho mythical martyr, though, ho was not Chained to the rocks, nnd as tho well was not Tory wide ho did not hesitato to let him self down part of the way, and final ly fell into the pool. It was quite impossible for nim to got out, but, like, a good fatalist, he waited in his bath, praying Allah to send some travelers by. In these regions weeks and sometimes months pass without the wells being visited, but next day fortune favored him by sending some of the French camel corps that "way, who were not a little astonished at hearing a voice from beneath. "Good day, Syrians" (as the Arabs call the c?i.: i -i I juuiuiuu noujis;, you miglll send I me flown a stronger rope to climb up with." He had recognized at once the pattern of tbe Spahi rope, and knew to whom ho was talking. IMPROVE MILK OF COACOANUT South African Natives Show Real In genulty In Their Treatment of This Important Food. South Africa natives along the Orange river hare a way of produc ing "milk," which, primitive as it is, vies in Ingenaity with the method of those who believe in the synthetic production of what the journalist, hard up for a synonym has been known to call "the lacteal fluid." After cutting the iop from a cocoa nut; the native pkoesthe 'nut over hot ashes, so that e warmth may cause the fat and 'tier" contained in the husk to be absorbed by the milk. This changes the milk qual ity and gives it a palatable taste. In order to deal with several nuts at a time, the natives construct rough "holders" from old iron hoops. The ashes are placed under the grating and the nuts set in it. Obviously there must be no actual fire beneath the nuta, or they would be burned away and the milk be lost NO FAVOR.
