The original fifteen camels were brought
to this country at the instigatiOn of the
United States government before the war
for the purpose of packing military stores
across the desert, and were used for that
purpose for two or three years. 1t was
found that the pebbles and powders were
too severe for their feet, and while they did
very well on the sand of the desert as soon
as they reached the foothills their feet be-
came SO sore that they were unable to
travel, and finally they were turned loose
to take care of themselves.
For number of years there were no
white men through the part of the desert
in which they ranged. and as the Indians
were very superstitious about them they
were not molested until within the last
few years, when they had increased to
more than 100 Later on they became a
source of annoyance to the prospectors on
account of the fear the horses had of them,
and they began killing the camels.

day and night the animal was pretty

SkiIIfuI Driving.

Perhaps one of the finest specimens of
good workmanship was performed by Sir
Felix Agar. He made bet, which he won,
that he would drive his own four horses
up Grosvenor place, down the passage into
Tattersall's yard-the famous firm had not
then migrated to Albert Cate-around the
pillar which stood IN the center of it, and
back again into Grosvenor place, without
either of his horses going ut n slower pace
than a trot-a great trial, surely. About
the same time some other coachman, for a
bet drove into shop in Finsbury square
and out again, while in more recent times
still an adventurous coachman declared
that he would tie n bundle of hay to the
door of Il break and let his leaders nibble
at it while he drove in circle.
At the driving competition at Barn Films
four pair of posts, with ginger beer bottles
ON the top, and two planks were set up at
fixed distances apart, while in between
were two uprights and crossbar, all of
which required the most careful steering.
In the last of the three trials the obstacles
were brought to within six feet six inches
of each other. This must have required
rather fine calculation, but that well
known whip, Mr.. Adrian Hope, the winner,
came through at smart pace without dis
turbing plank or post.-London Field.

CRYING for His Silver

An old sailor was on n wreck in the Bay
of Bengal. Tor three days all hands had
been huddled upon the deck of their dis
abled ship, and they were being
washed off by one. The captain had
just been carried away. Says the mar
rator:
About an hour afterward another wave
carried overheard the ships steward,
who was a ParSee and like fish in the
water.
His greed of lucre had well nigh done
for him, for he had tied around his neck in
a towel bundle of silver plate worth a
few pounds. He CHANGED to come to the
surface just in front of me, and l could see
him plainly. First he endeavored to tread
water with a view, imagine, to gauging
his position and swimming back to the
ship, but the weight of the silver carried
him down.
Then he tried TO swim toward the wreck,
but he could not keep his face above water.
So he began TO tumble at the knot behind
his neck TO unite it, and his head kept
slowly sinking lower and lower until his
feet were kicking in the air.
With a great effort he righted himself,
his hands now wildly clutching and tug
ging at the knot. But to no purpose: the
cloth was wet and would not yield. 1t had
become IA desperate fight with death. l
caught Il glimpse of his face, and it was so
TRANSPORTED with fright and agony that l
hardly recognized him.
With couvulsive efforts he kept coming
TO the surface for a second, or perhaps two,
during which he breathed in great yasps
of air. and then the weight of the silver
dragged him below again. At last he de-
liberately dived head foremost, and l be-
Iieved him gone forever, when in about
half a minute he came up again, having
by this expedient slipped the moose over
his head.
Being now relieved from the weight, he
struck out swimming and regained the
wreck, where he Immediately began blub-
bering for his lost silver plate, as if it had
been wantonly sacrificed at the value of
his life!-Youth's Companion.

Mans Position Against Crime.

In combating crime the line of effort
should be along those paths indicated by
nature 1t is a curious commentary on
mans intelligence that while exercising the
selective function on his domestic stock by
careful feeding, proper housing and judi
cious crossing, and for his plants selecting
the best seed etc, while ruthlessly destroy
ing the noxious weeds, yet when he comes
to his own kind he fancies that different
laws operate with him, or, swayed by SEN
timent, looks for different methods to cope
with crime.
He exterminates the noXious weed, kills
his vicious dog, puts under restraint the
maniac until cured; no definite terms of
Punishment will do in these cases, yet he
formulates laws in which there is appor-
toned definite number of days or years
for definite offenses against society!-Pro-
fessor Z. S. Morse in Popular Science
