SUICIDE OF A ROGUE CAMEL.
railing to Kill a Cruel Master, the
Vicious Beast Takes Its
Own Life.

A valuable camel working in an oil
mill in Africa, was beaten by it's driver.
Seeing that the camel had treasured up
the injury and was only waiting a favor
able chance for revenge, the driver kept
a strict watch upon the animal Time
passed away; the camel, knowing that
ii was watched, was quiet and obedient,
and the driver began to think that the
beating was forgotten, when one night
after several months had gone by, the
man was sleeping on raised platform
in the mill, whilst, as is customary, the
camel was stabbed in corner, says an
exchange.
Happening to awake, the driver saw
by the bright moonlight that, when
all was quiet, the animal looked eau
tiously around, rose softly, and, steal
ing toward spot where bundle of
clothes and a burnOus, thrown careless
ly on the ground, resembled a sleeping
figure, cast itself with violence upon
them, rolling with all its weight, and
tearing them viciously with it's teeth
Satisfied that its revenge was complete,
the camel was returning to it's corner
when the driver sat up and spoke. At
the sound of his voice, and realizing
the mistake it had made, the animal was
so mortified at the failure and discovery
of it's scheme that it dashed it's head
against the wall and died on the spot.

THE INDIAN GAME OF GOLF.
Twenty Redmen VIII Play TIL cir Elk
citing Game at the Paris
Fair Next Year.

Arrangements have just been COM
pleted with band of 40 Greek Indians,
says a Wichita (Kan) correspond
ent of the Chicago Inter Ocean,
to go to Paris in 1860 and give the Wis
itors there an exhibition of the toll
game, which is the most exciting and
rude game among the Indian tribes.
The Indians are now engaged in prac-
tice on their reservation, near Eufau-
Ia, and reports from there say that
number have been fatally wounded
while going through the game. Only
about 20 Indians are required to play
the game, but the redskins are going to
take along enough extra players to
complete the series of so games for
which they have been engaged. The
game is similar to golf, excepting that
it is much ruder The Indians are di-
vided on sides, and the scramble COM
mences when the leader throws a
wooden ball into the air and the PLAYERS
start after it with their sticks. on the
end Of which there is a little basket.
They are supposed to catch this bali
with their sticks before it reaches the
ground and carry it about 900 yards to
the goal; then with one mighty throw
land 1t over high pole, and the game is
won. This trick is not easily accom-
plished, when the fact is brought to
mind that 20 other Indians, with heavy
clubs, are pursuing him and attempt
ing to beat him to earth, which is often
er done than he escapes. The swiftest
runners are chosen for this game, so
that when they once get the ball it can
be carried to the goal and the game

THE COOKS.

1t IS time that the riot act be read
20 the cooks OF this town. There are
many excellent, skilful and faithful
cooks, but the number of worthless
lgnorant and incompetent ones has in
creased enormously, together with
lion should be taken 10 get rid of them
Even those who are able and willing
TO pay the highest wages are annoyed
by these incompetent cooks. Those
who cannot afford to pay large wages
are at the mercy of these worthless
Chinese and Japanese servants.
The women should meet and or
ganize some scheme for putting a stop
1t is simply intolerable. 1t ran. how
ever, be stopped by intelligent work
What woman will take the lead in the
matter?
There are several remedies. A cook
ing school might be established, at the
expense of the organization, and every
Chinese or Japanese who is willing to
be taught, should have instruction free
or at a small expense. The result
would be, in time, surplus of good
cooks. The cost of such a cooking
school is small, and the benefits would
be enormous.
Moreover, no woman in this place
should accept any cook, unless he
brought certificate from the head of
the school that he was competent and
reliable There should be grades of
cooks and wages should be adjusted
to the different grades. If the en-
ployers of cooks stood by each other,
there would soon be such a condition
of affairs that competent cooks would
homes be secured.
Another suggestion has been made
by '.one who knows
In the city of Bombay there are
They are known as "Canarines" from
Soa, and have excellent regulations for
skill in cookery. The wages they re-
ceive are small. about one fourth of the
amount of wages paid in this place.
It is believed that enough of them can
be obtained from Bombay to end this
wide spread domestic misery, arising
from unreliable service
The scheme of a cooking school, or
the importation of these "Canarinas,'
would bring the results desired
But these results must be secured
by womans work. Men will not under
