CAMELS K-THE SOUTHWEST.

NJ. T. Campbell, who recently ar
rived in San Francisco after an extend
ed visit to the famous Gunsight mine,
near the line of Southern Arizona, says
the camels of the desert are increasing
very rapidly, and that there are now
between 800 and 400 of them. This
is surprising, he says, considering the
number that have been killed and
palmed off for beef the last few years,
and the inroads made upon the bands
by passing showmen. Mr.. Campbell
gave some interesting details of these
tawny denizens of the waste places, in
troduced so many years ago by Ben
Butterworth, and now grown wild.

tween the ella and Colorado rivers, in

myself and men were furnished with
camel's meat right along, and thought
it very good We paid % cents a
pound for good deal of it, and We
thought it as good beef as we had us

had turned to peddling meat, never
said word to us, but took their pay

again, At the last we found out it
was nothing but camel's meat which
they were furnishing us. Then we

FRANCES PEASANT POET.
He Was Discovered by Alphonse Daudet
and Is Already Famous.

Alphonse Daudet, the famous French
author, has recently made the unique
discovery of a peasant poet and has
launched him so well that he has al
ready achieved fame and fortune be-
yond his widest dreams, says the n. Y.
World
His name is Baptiste Bonnat and he
is OF Provence, the country of Jasmin,
some of whose verses LongfellOw trans
lated, and of Frederic Mistral. Bonnat
writes only in Provencal, dialect so
difficult that it is almost a separate Ian
guage, but Daudet has translated much
of his work into French.
Bonnat tells the simple story of his
life briefly: Il worked in my fathers
fields until | was 90" he says, land

brothers in toll, | was not blind to the
beauties of nature and sang of them I'M

turn to my native country, however,
but there | found my brothers grown to
manhood and hardly able to wiring a

A BELGIAN LOVE MARKET.
CuriOns and Ancient Custom Observed In
the Town OF Arton.

A singular and ancient custom takes
place the first Thursday in December
every year in the little Belgian CITY of
ArtOn. This is the celebrated St. Mich
CLAUS festival, and its counterpart is
probably impossible to find in any
country.
Peasants, male and female, enter the
city III the early morning. all dressed in
their holiday dress and all bent on be-
ing married. The young men and
women march up and down on the
market place, and as soon as Young
peasant sees the girl for whom he has a
liking he invites her to one Of the many
cabarets or cafes that surround the mar
ket, and here the agreement and con-
ditlons for the marriage are talked
over.
The young peasant is always attend
ed by an important parsonage called
the spokesman" This person PLAYS a
most important part, and without him
no marriage could be arranged. This
man enjoys the confidence of both
parties; he knows the qualification of
every young peasant and how much of
marriage portion each girl is provided
with. 1t Is he who does the talking for
both parties, and, if an agreement is
entered into and a wedding is the re-
suit, he receives certain part OF the
wedding portion, new high hat and
pair of boots. As long as the consul
tation between the two families, COM
menced at the festival, continues the
spokesman has good time. He is en-
titled to the best of food and drink. aud
II he successfully carries out the nego-
tations he is the first one to be invited
t. the wedding.
As soon as a couple are engaged.
which must be done before the festival
Is over, the custom is for the beau TO
purchase some oranges and candy for
his girl and she presents her intended
with pipe and a package of tobacco.
The origin of this marriage festival is
lostin obscurity, but it is faithfully OBJ
served by the people of this province
year after year.

Dishonesty in Money Matters.

Napoleon's resolution was soon taken.
He was either really i'll from privation
and disappointment or soon became SO.
Armed with a medical certificate, he
applied for and received a Through.
This step having been taken, the next,
according to the unchanged and famil-
lar instincts of the man, was To apply
under the law for mileage to pay his
expenses on the journey which he had
taken as far as Paris in pursuance of
the order given him on March % to
proceed to his post in the West. Again.
following the precedents of his life, he
calculated mileage not from Marseilles,
whence he really started but from Nice,
thus largely increasing the amount which
he asked for, and in due time received.

NO CASH Tips FOR WOMEN.
They Get Only Smiles and Smirks from
Men at Restaurants.

In restaurants where women are en-
ployed as walters the average man
seems 10 be Of the opinion that smiles
or smirks are tantamount to tips A.
though they cost the giver nothing and
have no cash value anywhere. except
perhaps as elements to be considered in
estimating damages in breach of prom
ise suits, saws the y. Y. Herald. Why
a man should consider it more or less
obligatory on him to give gratuity to
the man who waits upon him, be ne
white or colored, while MS conscience
relieves him of all such Obligations when
a woman performs a similar service for
him. is one of those mysteries which the
feminine mind is incapable of solving.
| have conversed with several waitress
es" on the subject, and they have al
WAYS told me that they would infinitely
prefer dimes to smiles, more especially
as their pay is so small that the problem
of making both ends meet is for them a
particularly hard one.
1t may be said in defense of mascu-
line custom in this matter that the con-
duct of the recipients of these amatory
demonstrations would justify the opin-
ion that they prefer them to small Pc
cuniary emoluments, but the cruel fact
is that the girl employed in a restaurant
who doesn't act more or less as a tlirt
stands no chance of retaining her posi-
ton. A complaint of customers ia
miliarity, instead of causing him to be
rebuked, would more likely result in
her own dismissal. 1t isn't alone for
waiting that she is paid. She is expect
ed TO make herself attractive"
There are many men of an economical
turn of mind whose patronage of res
taurants where women are employed is
largely due to the fact that at such
places they can refrain from tipping
without being suspected of meanness.
And dime saved is 20 cents earned.
But, all the same, a woman who waits
on a table in a restaurants just as much
entitled to a Tip" as man, and the
fact that she doesn't get it is only an
other link in the chain of evidence which
shows that the average man will always
take advantage of woman in pecuniary
matters if he gets half a chance. That
is to say, fer doing the same thing he
will always pay woman less than he
will man.

ST. LOUIS, April ia special to
The Globe Democrat from Chilpan
sengo, Mexico, says that a sheep herd
er, named Antonio Vincent. has dis
covered horrible charnel cave of hui
man remains near the village of Que
chutenango. Over a hundred skulls
were counted piled with their bones
into one great heap not far from the
highway leading from the CITY of
Mexico to Capulco on the Pacific
coast. Several persons who have Wis
tied the lonely spot, guided by the
sheep herder corroborate the story
OF the find, and some of the bones
have been brought to this place as a
possible help in the identification Of
the victims of what appears to be one
of the greatest crimes ever committed
IN Mexico. 1t is supposed that the
remains are the CHASTITY souvenirs of
one OF the numerous attacks made on
travellers and whole caravans of
freighters. which have been so fire.
Iuent in the state of Guerro in the
past decade. As vet there is no clue
whatever which will throw light upon
the identity of the piles of bones
which almost completely fill the
large chamber of the cave which thew
occupy.
