Moorish traders in camels seem to be
no more honest than Yankee traders in
horses have the reputation of being. The
author of >Among the Arabs" describes
as follows one of their tricks, which, ac-
cording to his account, only an expert is
likely to detect On one occasion, while
in an Arab village, he declared his inten-
ton of buying young camel. No sooner
had his desire become known than at
least twenty camels were brought for his
inspection. They were all fine looking
animals, in excellent condition, ap-
parently. In fact, the only fault our
Frenchman could perceive was that they
were too fat After proper amount OF
deliberation and bargaining, he selected
the one which appeared to be the leanest,
and paid the price agreed upon. The
next morning, when he went to look at
his fat camel he found living skeleton,
on whose almost tleshless bones the skin
hung in large folds, and whose best de-
velopment was about the joints.
Tho method by which the camels are
suddenly ''fattened" for the market is
thus described: An incision about an
inch in length is made in each ear be-
tween the skin and the flesh. Into this
small tube is fitted and secured by silk
cord. There it remains, hidden from the
observation of al but the initiated and
ready for use at any moment When
merchant who is not acquainted with the
blowing up trick comes to buy a camel
the dealer takes two tubes. each yard
long, and inserting one end of each in the
small tubes just described, through the
other ends two Arabs blow with all their
might. until the animal has attained the
requisite degree of plumpness. The u
| flating tubes are then withdrawn, and
the air is prevented from escaping
| by means Of a cork smeared with pitch.
The poor animal now becomes, appar-
emily, quite lively and frisky, trying to
throw itself on the ground, or to press
against the wall or tree, or whatever
other object may be at hand, so as to get
nd of the wind. Sometimes it manages
to elude the vigilance of the Arab, and if
the cork is not very securely fastened the
wind escapes with whistle like that of
steam engine and the fine looking beast
suddenly collapses.-Springfeid Repub-
lican.

Miss Julia Hyde of this city, writing
from Sheepshead, Nashoe county, gives
the following passing glance at Pyramid
lake: II shall never forget Che first sight
of the lake. 1t was simply grand. We
drove along the shore for twenty-five
miles. For long tine we were in sight
of the towering pyrumidal rock from
which the lake derives its name. South
Of this rock, in the center Of the lower
portion of tho lake, is another large mass
of rock, which resembles q pyramid in
form; and near the northwest end or
corner of the lake are what are called
The Three Pyramids Seen from a dis
lance they present the appearance of
three pyramids. but when YOU reach a
part of the lake near them you find they
number about dozen. The water of
the lake is deep and beautiful blue
Waves at times rise to an astonishing
height on the lake, and breakers roll in
upon the shore, which are quite formid-
able.
Il think have never in my life seen a
more glorious sunset than that l wit
messed here on the evening of nv ar
rival. The western sky was mass of
purple, vermilion and gold, resembling
painted and gilded towers. From the
deep blue of the lake rose the sun tipped
pyramids of the lower world, as though
towering to meet those of the more
ethereal realms above, while between al
the air seemed filed with a quiverine
/ golden haze All in this wild and tree
less region seemed dazzling picture
done in vermilion, blue and gold. '-Vir

method Of detaching a watch from its

chain was attached firmly between the
finger and thumb, and then, with SHARP
twist, snap the steel pivot connecting
watch and ring, leaving the watch fires

During the survey Of the Kansas CITY.
Ell Paso and Mexican railroad, the sur
veyors came across the ruins of the city
of Gran Guivera, known already to the
early Spanish explorers, but seldom Wis
tied by white men OF the present day
These ruins at Gran GuiveTa are of gil
gantic stone buildings Of magnificent
proportions and built in a very substan-
tial manner. One was four acres in ex-
tent. Every indication around the ruins
was evidence of the existence here at
one time of dense population although
now it is forty miles from water To
the south lies the lava flow. called by the
local population the Molpais. 1t is a sea
of molten black glass which has cooled
retaining its ragged and Enthusiastically
shaped waves from ten to twelve feet
high. 1t is about forty miles long and
from one to ten miles wide. For miles
on all sides the country lies buried in fine
white ashes, to depth as yet not reached
by any digging. No legend exists as to
the destruction or abandonment of the
| ruined city, but one of the engineers of
the surveying party advances the theory
| that Gran Glnvera was in existence when
the terrific volcanic eruption took place
which so desolated and burned up the
surrounding country. The secrets OF
the early civilization of prehistoric
America elude our possessions; yet that
such a civilization existed, we have

The number of shafts sunk and the other

Notwithstanding this fact, these humbugs

How to Put on Gloves.

A great deal depends on the first put
ting on of gloves Have the hands per.
fectly clean, dry and cool and never put
or damp. Where person is troubled
with moist hands it is well to powder
them before trying on the gloves; but in
most cases, II the hands are dry and cool,
this is not needed. First work on the
fingers, keeping the thumb outside of the
glove, and the wrist of the glove turned
back. When the fingers are in smoothly
put in the thumb and work the glove on
very carefully, then placing the elbow
on the knee, work on the hand. When
this is done smooth down the wrist and
button the second button first. then the
third, and so on to the end. Then smooth
down the whole glove and fasten the
first button. Fastening the first button
last when putting on glove for the first
! time makes good deal of difference in
the hit, although it may seem but a very
little thing. 1t does not strain the part
| OF glove that is the easiest to the strain
at first, and prevents the enlarging of
the button hole, either of which is sure
to take place if you begin at the first but
ton TO fasten the glove. When removing
gloves never begin at the tips Of the
fingers to pull them of, but turn back
the wrist and pull off carefully, which
will, OF course, necessitate their being
wrong side out. Turn them right side
out, turn the thumb in, smooth them
lengthwise in as near as possible to the
shape they would be in if on the hands
and place away with strip of white
canton flannel between if the gloves arr
light, but if dark oolored the flannel may
be omitted Never roll gloves into eaci
other in wad, for they will never lool
SO well after There is always som,
moisture in them from the hands; conse
quently, when rolled up this moistur,
has no chance of drying, and must worl
into the gloves, making them hard ant
stiff and of very little use after. as far a
looks or fit are concerned. Dry Good
