J. H. TREASURE or THE DESERT. n the Sahara all Property is Ex pressed by Camels. Primitive people who have no mon y measure all values by that posses ion which is most desired and most asily transferred. Thus among most f the inhabitants of the Sahara the amel is the measure of all values. roperty, riches and camels are syn nymous terms among most of the wellers in the Sahara. Dr. Gold tein of Germany, wrote a while ago hat if a Tuareg were set down in the treets cf Berlin the business blocks nd residences would convey to him to idea ,of property. He would sim ly ask the greatest real estate land ord in the city how many camels he wned. When Richardson met the Tuaregs .nd was entertained by one of their hiefs the traveler was told by his ost that he wished to make Queen ictoria the finest present that any ne could give her, and so he asked is guest to take back to her a mehari ,hich is a camel trained to fleetness nd the most costly of the Saharan amels. While Barth was sojourning in Tim uctoo there was danger for a few ays that the street mob would at aek his house. One of his women Brvants advised him to remove his haivan" to a place of safety. This ord means livestock, such as cattle r camels, and Barth told the woman iat he had only his horse with him. L was some time before he learned iat the servant did not mean to re er particularly to his horse, but to 1 his possessions.4 When the Frenchman Hourst sue seded in navigating the Niger from { s mouth to Timbuctoo, some years4 ~o, a desert dweller, desiring to arn if he came of a family of sub) ;ance, asked him how many camels Ls father owned and when Foureau 4 ossed the desert with the largest 4 eploring party that ever entered the 4 ahara he received from a wealthy 4 ative of Asger a present of a white Lmel and was told that it was the tst expensive present that the resi-4 nts of that region could give any 4 e. 4 As a rule, however, the number of amels in the possession of one indi idual is not large. The average man ynsiders himself well-todo if he owns no or three animals; the important 4 iief whom Nachtigal met in his even'years' wanderings was said to wn about 100 camels. No one will art with his camels excepting at an4 rorbitant price. Foureau found it npossible to buy them in the heart f the desert for less than about 250 rans, which was double their val *e in Algeria. The grazing grounds are common o all and there is no property in and. The richest man lives in his ent and why should he sell camels o acquire the means to build a more ommodous and substantial dwell ag- when he expects to move to some ther place in a few weeks or months? e simply acquires all the camels he an get for the mere fun of hiaving hem. To be sure he buys wives with his amels, just as the negro does with uis attle, and wives come very high n Sahara, the daughter of the ordi uary man being worth as much as Sour camels, while the price of a hief's daughter can be commanded unly by the very wealthy. Some ex lorers believe that very fat young vomen are most popular in desert imply because camel's milk is fat ening, and if a girl i-3 fleshy it hows that her father his given her 1l the camel's milk she can drink. uch, a fath.er must have a number >f ca.mels, is, therefore, a wealthy nan, and it will be a good thing to narry into his family.
