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.
