Smiled Upon by The Louisiana State Lot
terry Goddess to the Extent OfS15,OOO
Chicago ul.) Times, July II.
The good fortune to-day enjoyed by a
young Chicagoan, W. E. Spingenberg, a
clerk in S. Sehipps' fire insurance agency
at 206 LaSalle street, may have been in the
nature of reward for persistent efforts, or
it may have been simply one of the smiles
which Dame Fortune so often sheds on fa-
vored residents of the world fairs city. Be
it as it may MIR. Spingenberg in June invest
ed in a one-fortieth interest in ticket No.
59, S43 in the Louisiana State Lottery and
now has 1900 cold, hard dollars to show
for it, the entire ticket represented by his
number being $4,000. When called on BIZ
a Times reporter he was very reticent as to
details, but tacitly pleaded guilty to the ex-
tent named. Mr.. Spingenberg is a sharp,
shrewd young business man, and already
has his newly acquired fortune invested to
good advantage. Riches have by no means
turned the young mans head, but the unex-
Pected possession of even this little $15,OOe
has given him an idea of the pleasant troub
les that riches generally bring with them.

General Napicr's campaign against Sinde
they had an efficient corps Of 1000 men
mounted on 800 dromedarics, two men to
each dromcdary, both armed with rifles
and sabres. In battle the animals were
made to knccl in Il square, under the
charge of 500 of tic men forming {; base
OF operations, from which the other 800
operated as infantry ,.....t
In case OF extremity the thousand men
could find shelter behind the animals
which were prevented from rising by Il
hobblc on the, fore leg, This; corps fire.
quently marched seventy miles in twelve
hours. | have heard some remarkable
tales of TIC speed of tlromedaties. An.
Arab told me he had Travelled 600. miles
in week on the back of his delool, but
this was simply an example of the Oriental
habit OF ampliiication. 1t is true, how
ever, that while horse can outrun a
dromedaIy i'll Il short race, the latter will
take u load of 400 or 500 pounds and
make his fifty miles day for month.
An odd thing i'll camel driving is that
they must not be pushed They will set
their own gait, moving slowly where the
road is unfavorablc and making up lost
time 81 theiy own volition on the good
Stretches. The camel has ono. great ad-
vantage over horse. He can live oil
anything like 4 goat. He browscs on
every shrub and plant that grows, even
the thistle and the prickly pear. He can
also travel, in emergency, three, four,
even six or seven days, without water or
food. 1t is his ugly looking hump that
enables him to. do this. Composed of
rcabsorption. In the East the condition
of camel after ii long journey is judged
by the size Of his hump. -,{ u;r.i...
1t is not uncommon TO see. camels come
in, after long and painful journeys, with
backs almost straight, their humps hav-
ing nearly disappeared. Twas much sur
prised to learn that the hump does not
seem to be intimately connected with the
animals vitality. Linant Bey told me
he had often opened the bumps when
they became so large from high feeding
as to prevent the saddle fitting properly,
and taken out large pieces of fat without
injuring the animal or affecting his health.
1t is generally supposed, too, that the
camel thrives better in hot than in cold
countries, but this is not true. see no
reason why the camel should not do well
and be very useful in the climate of Texas
and on all of our southwestern plains.

forming the tzcp ring attpck him. : And
these are always the two nearest the
intruder. The Others are taught not to
leave their posts, and never do, unless
more tlrn one wolf endeavors TO, get at

One cause for this is over crowdiny. The

they completely cover. the space. Plants

Another common cause Of dowdy gar

ROOTS AND TOMATOES.

Many roots, like turnips and carrots,
can 6e safely wintered in earth pits, and
even apples, ii properly treated, can be
kept with little loss in the same way.
The real danger is not from cold, for the
frost can always be excluded by a sufii-
GENTLY thick covering. The danger
from heat is much more serious On
this account the roots should not be
lifted until the weather is cool. and they
should not be placed at once in pit or
root cellar, but laid in small heaps of
four OF five bushels, and covered lightly
with straw. If they remain in this way
Tor week or so, covered with shutters
to protect them when it rains, they can,
after the so-called sweating process, be
removed to the pit. Even then they
should be lightly covered with straw at
first, and the earth should be applied
gradually as the weather grows severe, so
that they will remain uniformly cool, and
escape heating. 1t is, well. to place. a
drain tile mt the top of the cone for y
ventilating chimney, and if the crop is
large, so that it can be placed in IL long
window, the chimneys should be set
about SIN ieet apart u neSe long pies
can be five or six feet wide, and from
three to four feet high. The trench, or
bottom of the pit, need not be more than
eight inches below the surface. OF
course no wet, soft or decaycd roots
should be placed in pit Or cellar, Par
ships and satisfy are better favored if
left in the ground; but it is troublesome
to lift them in winter, and, therefore,
part of the crop can be placed in a cell
lar, and covered with sandy soil. The
taproots should never be cut, nor should
the tops, especially of bcets or satisfy, he
cut close to the crown. If root cellar
is used it should be dry, well ventilated,
rather dark, and kept ut a uniform tenn
