Riding a Camel.

Dr.. Nachrigal, the celebrated Afri-
can explorer, once said to a youth
who expressed desire to cross the
Sahara on camel back: Young man,
I'll tell you how you can get partial
idea of what riding camel In an
African desert Is like. Take an Office
stool, screw it up as high as possible,
and put it, along with a savage dog.
into a wagon without any springs.
Then seat yourself on the stool and
have It driven over uneven and rocky
ground during the hottest parts of
July and August, being careful not to
eat or drink more than once every
two days and letting the dog bite YOU
every four hours. This will give yon
a faint idea Of the exquisite poetry Of

The sandwich man made hiB first
appearance in 1s46 on the streets OF
Florence. The wine merchants there
were in the habit Of hiring indi-
gent individuals to parade the streets
dressed to represent straw-covcred
wine-bottles. Now, the custom has
spread TO all the great cities Of the
globe.
But nowhere. perhaps, is the sand
wich man subject to more stringent
regulation than in London. He must
walk near the curbstone, but not on
the pavement. and not within thirty
yards of his nearest placarded COM

not fulfil these rules he may be ar

Wherever the fame Of the New York

idea Of the enormous capacity Of
these colossal structures must have
been formed, but it is not improbable
that few persons living right in the
metropolis have ever made a CAREFUL
stu1y of the activities Of these COM

the United States. like Houston,

Wherever such a statement may be

point out the fact that an accurate
count was made one day by F. T. H..

most conspicuous Of the New York

Bull fighting Is the national pas
uulo. Boys play at it in the CUTTERS
anG there are bull fights for amateurs
all over the country. at which only
two-year-old bulls are used, and
young and old descend into the arena.
Astounding is the enthusiasm. says
the Nineteenth Century.
Interesting. too. is the psychology
Of bulls. When herded together tLey
are docile enough, and 1t Is pictur-
esque sight to see the bulls brought

through the streets of the city when
ell are sleeping. A cow trained 10
the business, with bell around her
neck, Is all that is necessary, and the
bulls follow quietly behind her.
In the plains where the bulls arc
reared men on horses manage them
quite easily so long as they are
massed together. Three bulls in the
ring together would be useless for a
fight, but each bull separately will
dght to the death.
Bulls literally see red. Were it not
that bull will always dash at any
thing red the men in the ring would
have no chance whatever. OCCASION
ally bulls have what Is called the evil
eye, and remain Indifferent to the rcd
capa extended to them, and then the
list of casualties is generally high.
Sometimes a bull which has shown
proligious power and fight is par
doned by the populace. A COW, kept
for the purpose, Is then sent into the
arena, and at sight of her the bull
forgets men and the fury Of the battle
and gently trots behind to the pad
dCvk, as meek as any heifer.
Many are the curiosities about bulls,
which sometimes refuse to attack a
particular horse, and when man ie
down, motionless, disdain even 10
paw him. Some bulls make instirc-
lively for one man. and will chase
him all around the ring, leaping the
barrier if he vaults over it. and II be

cy in bulls. and none ts shown To

GREECE A ROBBERS RoosT.
Country Promises to Become a Haven
For Rosues.

TUT EtSSuSSS
The waiting game" still is popu-
lar policy with the French police, says
the New York Press. Some months
ago Paris detectives chased a young
French ellbezzier into Greece cnd
found him protected from extradition
by the authorities, whom he paid
well; so they quietly sat down and
waited for the criminal to spend all
his. stolen money. Then, when ne
had to move akay and crossed into
Italy, the detectives arrested him and
brought him back to Paris.
Ferdinand Bolle, "a years old, was o
clerk in the Soeiete Generate Bank.
He was married and had separate
establishment over which q young
TREND presided. He received notices
of discharge Just at the time when
every one was talking Of Jean Gallay,
the bank clerk ''baron," and Mile.
Merelll. Bolle said to himself, why
should I not initiate this GaIiay?" So
he began to fill in checks and forge
sig atures. In few days he cashed
in s25.ooO. Then he left Paris with
his pretty friend. The pair fed TO
Corfu and took a charming and lux
urious villa. They began to have .
gay time.
Bolle foolishly wrote to friends In
Paris detailing the lively life he was
leading. The police were waiting Tor
just such letters. and two detectives
armed with the necessary papers i'm
mediately went to Corfu. When they
called on Bolle he introdaeed them. to
his fair companion and feted them.
But he refused to return to France.
The detectives, when they tried to eX-
tradite him, found that the authort-
ties were protecting Bolle. They ap~
pealed to the Creek minister Of the
interior and to the chief Of police
Of Corfu, but received only promises.
Then the French ambassador took q
hand. That resulted in Rolle and his
companion being expelled from that
particular village, the authorities OF
which we're dismissed. But the fug-
tives merely moved on to the next
village and took another villa. The
French detectives thereupon teie-
graphed that until rnlle had spent all
his money an arrest was Impossible.
They we're ordered to wait like Pa
tience on a monup.c It until the bank
clerk had run through his last dollar.
Bolle was spending money like bill
lionaire, and for five weeks the two
detectives went fishing, smoked and
slept and enjoyed themselves.
When Bolle finally got to the END
of his stolen spoils he and his COM
marion took little coast steamer to
Bri1disi. The detectives awaited them
on arrival arrested Bolle and quickly
got extradition.
ON arrival in Paris Bolle and the
detectives told their sto"ies to the ex-
amining magistrate, Who also quaS-
toned BoIle's friend. She denied
knowing where the mans money came
from and was discharged. Bolle made
. full confessiCn. He declared that
the Greek authorities knew he was a
thief and made him pay heavy sum
each day ior protection from arrest
