The Camel in "A New Role.

A word here as to the camel the
much belauded "ship of the desert, ="
that enjoys among those who have not
come into contact with him much
better reputation than he deserves.
Patience is n virtue with which he is
supposed to be prominently endowed.
As far as my experience goes, he is
about the most impatient brute in the
whole animal creation. He grumbles
and swears when required to stop; he
roars at you when you get on, and
roars at you when you get off; as he
does when he is laden and when he is
unladen. His patience is generally
the result of senility, He is usually
vicious, and is irremediably addicted
10 boiling Neither is his intelligence
sufficiently strong TO allow him to
distinguish noxious plants, and he is
at all times an object Of anxiety to his
driver on this account.-Lspptscotfs.

Indian Conjurors.

The stories told by Eastern travellers
of the tricks they have witnessed by
conjurors in India and other countries
almost surpass belief, and would be
wholly dlsbelieved were not the testi-
mony so universal and credible as to
torbid;all doubt or scepticism. a cor.
respondent who describes how a Hin
doc magician made a boy disappear
in a cloud of smoke and then brought
him forth out of vessel which he
caused to come out of the earth, tells
of the following extraordinary tricks ]:
One of these consists IN the conjuror
taking IA ball OF wood that had been
perforated in several places, and
through which strings were passed,
and hurting it into the air. Up it
went, dragging the cord after it, and
finally disappearing. The head man
now instructed boy assistant to
mount, which he did, climbing up the
cord until finally the spectators lost
sight of him, or thought they did.
The fakir now seemed to be in distress
at losing him, and called loudly; then,
as if in rage, he seized the rope and
clambered up after him, having a
knife in his'mouth. In u few moments
dismembered leg, all bloody, fell to
the earth t; then another, several fingers,
and finally the head and trunk finally
the old fakir himself appeared, his
clothes covered with gore, looking
like Il butcher. AS soon as he recov
cred from his evident cXertion he
went through some mummery, and
collecting the dismembered and bleed
ing parts gave the body push, waved
his hands over it, and Selling the body
by the hand jerked it to its feet, and
off it walked nothing the matter with
it, In Bangkok II similar feat was
witnessed few years ago by Ralph
Churchill. The juggler tossed a rope
ladder into the air, and sent goats,
dogs, cats, boys and alligators up one
after another. All of them appeared
running toward him from a distant
quarter ten minutes later These are
tricks that Scent almost superhuman,
yet are ludicrously simple when
known.

Indian Eoot-hall.

The Piutes of the Hawthorne Reser-
walton had big game of football on
Thursday evening. The game was
played according to the old. fashioned
white boys rules, and the players were
industrious and energetic in the con.
test. At first the spectators were
nearly all Indians, including of course
all the ladies of the tribe, but the
white residents soon began to gather
on the ground, aud it was not long
before nine. tenths of the white male
inhabitants were watching the game.
The white ladies did not attend the
sport, probably because the players
were in bathing costume. Although
they were in their bare feet they fol-
lowed the ball into the pricllly grease
wood with an enthusiasm scarcely to
be expected, and no doubt the next day
was spent in the tranquil extraction of
thorns and splinters from bleeding
toes and heels. After the game a
pnrse was made up by the whites and
ten big Indians ran 200 yards, the win
ner taking the money, and, doubtless,
afterwards dividing it with those who
permitted him to trot in the lead.
During the first heat there was what
appeared to be some serious running
for short time. The second man
began closing the gap in front of him
and, making vigorous squirt, looked
as though he intended to gain the lead
by leap over the head of the leader.
He, however, either was not contem-
plating the feat or changed his mind,
as he did not jump and the Bodie run
ner crossed the scratch in advance.

The Syyeetxyater Mines.

Bodie Free Press L. j. Hill, II. e.
Wright, James F, Norman, William
Shirley and John Poor returned on
Monday from visit to the Swcetwater
mines. Mr.. Shirley, prominent
millman of Dayton, New, and for
merly Superintendent of the Bodie
Tunnel mill, went to examine the
Kentuck mine; while Messrs. Hill,
Wright and Norman paid a visit to
their leading mine, the Silverado.
This mine is employing force of
nine men, under the superintendent
of Thomas Downing, and is Showing
up some very fine ore. The mill, now
in progress of construction to run on
ore from the Silverado will be ready
for operation by early July. The
mine is being rapidly put in shape for
taking out ore. 1t is attracting con-
siderable attention and bids fair to
become one of the leading mines of
the district. The men employed in the
Kentuck, on percentage, are doing we'll
and are taking out some really fine
ore. The mill will start soon, either
on tailings or on ore from the mine.
Several other mines in the district are
working men, and others only await
the disappearance Of snow from the
mountains to resume operations. The
opinion is very prevalent in Clinton
that the Keutuck mine is not vet even
prospected, and all are hopeful for
prosperous season.

The Water Pipes,

The water company has been laying
new pipes and putting in cocks, and
there will be no trouble on the score
of water this year. To each connec-
ton chain is attached, which is long
enough to leave about foot exposed
after the ground is filed in. These
are for the purpose of saving time in
finding the proper place to dig, and
they also serve another purpose, not
contemplated by the company.
Teamsters have constant use for
chains, and these loose ends lying in
the sand serve as an elongated April
fool joke. Nearly every day someone
finds a piece of cham on the street
and nearly bursts a blood vessel in his
effort TO lift it out OF the ground.
After straining his back and breaking
his suspenders, he concludes to leave
the chain and say nothing about the
occurrence,

A Sad Death.

The people of Hawthorne were
greatly grieved on the receipt of the
news of the suicide of NJ iss Ida Wildes,
q former telegraph operator of this
place, who, by her intellect and indus.
hy, had made for herself quite a
reputation and many friends. But,
alter having worked long and dill.
gently for knowledge and influence,
there appeared in her heretofore
bright prospects a cloud, which,
though small at first, at last over.
shadowed her whole future and made
existence seem so uncomfortable that
she preferred death to life. Her
mother, whose love and pride were
conferred in Ida, meets with the deepest
sympathy.

One of the results of the London
census is to show that Bombay, the
second city in the British Empire, is
more crowded than London itself.
The density of the population in Lon
don in the most densely peopled parts
is less than the density of twelve most
crowded sections of Bombay with a
population of nearly 100000 people.
These sections have an average popu-
lation of 1851 persons per acre. In
Bombay the average population is
about 81 per acre; in London, 40. The
extreme in London rises to 222 per
acre, whereas in Bombay it rises to
759. The populotion of the sections
in which the crowding is double that
of the most crowded visions of London
is equal to more than 81 per cent of
the total population, but the area of
these sections is only 312 per cent of
the island. In other words, 81 per
cent of the population are crowded on
80 per cert of the surface of the land.

The Green Grease-yyOod.

CROSSWORD is not generally con-
sidered an ornamental plant, but it is
not destitute of all elements of attract.
iveness. Its general color is not strik-
ing and pretends, very little, to the
green tints of most vegetation. No one
would expect TO find T. pleasing effect
from looking at new growth of
grease.wood, but the ends of the streets,
IN the suburbs, as may be said, give
this effect. A growth of young grease
wood is taking the place of that which
was cleared off when the town was laid
out, and its fresh color shows in green
contrast to the neighboring dead and
dust.colored brush, AS each street
has some unoccupied space at either
end we are surrounded by series of
green patches which look from a dis
lance like grass plots.

The Ears Tell The story.

Plenty of fighters will tell you that
they can hit us hard with their left
hand as they can with their right, but
don't believe them. If you visit any
sparring exhibition or prize fight, and
are observant, you will see that the
left ears of two-tbirtls of the fighters
present are thickened out Of shape and
enlarged to nearly double their normal
size. This is caused by the bruising
the aforesaid ears received in fighting
and sparring. 1t is very rare that the
right ear of a fighter is found thus
affected, a fact which shows that the
furnishing work is done with the right
duke.-Cincinndti Enquirer.
