Wild camels In the strict sense Of
tne term, camels whose ancestors
We're never domesticated, are entirely
unknown. Such animals, so far as
naturalists are aware, have not been
10 existence within historic times.
IL appears, however, greatly to the
surprise of the world in general, that
camels have been living and breeding
IN wild state in Southern Spain for
sixty years.
When Mr. Chapman, one Of the
authors Of Wild Spain" was explor.
ing the marismas or marsh lands o.
Andalusia in 1888, he noticed faS
away on the plain two large animals
evidently watching him. He ap-
preached them with all possible eau
zion, but while he was still quartz:
OF a mile away they took alarm.
wheeled about, and made off.
AS they turned, Mr.. Chapman saw
for the first time what they were
camels. He was astonlshed, but there
could be no mistake, for, as he says
"a camel is like nothing else in crea-
tiOn."
In a communication to the Ibis he
mentioned what he had seen, and one
Of the editors of the magazine, Mr..
Howard Saunders, an eminent or
nlthologist, appended a foot note to
the effect that he himself had seen
small herd Of such camels in the same
region in 1868, but had never men.
TONED the circumstance in print on
account of the incredulity with which
the statement was certain to be re-
ceived.
The wonder of the thing is increas.
ed by the nature OF the marismas,
which are subject to inundation for
six months of the year, and would
seem to be as ill-adapted as possible
to the wants of an animal which is
always associated with arid sandy
deserts.
In point of fact Mr.. Chapmau's
statement, supported as it was by the
testimony of Mr.. Saunders, did not
escape disbelief and a measure OF
ridicule. 1t seems to have been
abundantly confirmed, however. Mr..
Chapman himself has seen the camcls
since on several occasions.
In January, 1888, he saw herd OF
nineteen, of various sizes, knee deep

spent at lunch on the edge OF the

and watched them putting their
heads down as though grazing on the

The camels appear to have been
brought from the Canary Island in
1929, and to have run wild not many
years afterwards. Youths Compan.

THE cApUoHIN MONKEY.

The white-throated capuchin, OF sa-
pajou IA monkey named after the
monk), and his near relatives, are
some of the poor little fellows who
find the monkeys purgatory on this
earth. They are les miserables who
go about with the organ-grinder, dance
when the chain is ierked, and pass the
tiny hat for the pennies. Poor little
beggars How much better for a
monkey is the hunters bullet in the
leafy jungle than the deadly hand-or-
gan on the hot pavement, and lifelong
misery
As household pet, or captive in
zoo, the capuchin monkey is the
prince of good fellows. He is of good,
comfortable size, neither too small,
nor too large, fair in proportions. ac-
tive, intelligent and docile, and decid-
eddy affectionate. Many Old World
monkeys are treacherous and danger
GUS brutes but so far as his human
human friends are concerned, the ca
puchin is nearly always to be trusted.
He has countenance like pale, sad :
looking old man, heavily burdened
with care.
Out of large cageful of monkeys
of various kinds that once kept, the
white-throated sapajou was the only
thoroughly satisfactory inmate. He
was sincerely attached to me, and
whenever came near him would purse
out his wrinkled lips and complain to
me about his disagreeable neighbors
at great rate When frightened, his
shrill, rasping shrieks and the express
sion of his mobile face, made rep
resentation of terror SO perfect that q
tragic actor might well have copied it.
When coaxing his keeper for food or
attention, he would thrust out his lips
until they formed funny looking lit
tie tube and say in plaintiff tone,
''Poo-oo-oo-oo!"
These graceful and interesting
monkeys are found in Eastern Hon
duras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Pan
anna, and northern South America.
At home they are not nearly so active
and bold as the spider monkey, doubt
less because they are not all legs and
tail like the spiders. They not only
eat fruit of all kinds, but are also very
fond of beetles and other insects,
eggs, and even young birds. The
tail is prehensile, but not powerfully
SO like that of the spider-monkey. =

CHOICE OF CLOTHING.

The only safety for those who can
not have many changes of raiment is
to buy only inconspicuous clothing
and that which is not any freak of
fashion. Nothing is more deporable
than belated within, worn after its
general departure. Not far less in dis
esteem is the red hat or queer green
coat that tells its wearer as far as she
can be seen upon the street. The eco
nomical must not be led into any such
extravagances, or they will be certain
to regret it later.

Money stringency is not the only cause Of
hard times. and it takes very little money to
make a good deal ofhapplness, as the follow
ing shows Mr.. r. B. Kyle, Tower Hill,
Appomattox County, Va, writes that he was
afflicted with rheumatism for several years,
and physicians gave him no relief. Finally
he was rubbed all over with ST. Jacobs Oil
and it cured. During his illness he had
spasms and was not expected to live. This
points a way to many who think times hard,
but who can find an easy way out of their
troubles.

Old HickOry's WayG,

General Armstrong, assistant com
missioner of Indian affairs, thinks that
Andrew Jackson was one of the great
est men this country ever produced
and has number of stories which
were told him by his uncle, who was
an intimate friend of Old Hickory.
One Of them is very characteristic of
the man.
Lewis Cass, secretary of war, was
aver at the White House one day with
some important papers for the presl-
dent to sign, among them being a
court martial findings.
@Cass, what is this?" inquired jack
son as he was about to write his name
to the documents.

Cass,
~Whst have I to do with itP" asked
the president.

vice, and the president must sign such
orders"
Jackson toyed with the paper and
said musingly: Dismissed him from
the army, Ell? Why"
drunkenness; getting drunk and
falling down on parade or, some
thing Of that kind" answered the
secretary.
"Who ordered the COURT" asked
Jackson.
General Scott" answered Cass.
"Who is jtH" inquired the president
with more interest
Inspector General Kraun," replied
Cass.
"What!" shouted jackson. My old
friend Kraun! Cass, just read what
that paper says"
The secretary read the usual form
OF the court martial sentence in such
cases, The president then took the
paper and wrote across the bottom
where he was about to sign his
name.
~The within findings are disapprov-
ed, and. Colonel Kraun is. restored to
his duty and rank"
He, passed the paper back. to Score
tary Cass and said, with his usual We
hemepce:
"By the Eternal, Cass, when you and
Scott serve your country as we'll as
that man has you can get drunk on
duty every day"
A young man from Tennessee, son
OF friend OF General Jackson g came
to Washington for place. He look
ed about and found what he wanted.
1t was in the war department and fill
ed by very efficient Wing, whom
Secretary Cass would not remove.
The young man told Jackson the sit
uation, and Cass was sent for.
"Csss," said the. president, this
young man, son OF my old friend says
You have got u place in the war de-
partment filled by Wing which you
won't give him."

the Warden is elected by the Board Of
