" TREASURE OF THE DESERT.
* In the Sahara all Property ia Ex^
pressed by Camels.
Primitive people who have no mon11
ey measure all values by that posses1
sion which is most desired and most
easily transferred. Thus among most
of the inhabitants of the Sahara the
| c-:itm>| ||l(. mea-mre <>l' all values.
Property, riches and camels are svuonvmoiis
terms among most of tho
j1 dwellers in the Sahara. Dr. (Jold'
stein (it Germany, wrote a while ago
that it a I'uareg were set down in tho
streets of P>crlin the business blocks
and residences would convey to him
no idea of properly, lie would simj
ply ask the greatest real estate landlord
iu the city how many camels ho
owned.
\\ lieu liichardsou met the Tuaregs
I | and was entertained by one of their
( hi.-Is (lie traveler was tuld by his
1 host that lie wished to make Queen
! Victoria the finest present that any
,1 one ciuild give her, and so he asked
i Ins guest to take back to her a meliari J
I j which is a camel trained to floe"
and the most costly of the oaliaran
camels. ,
jj While llarlh was sojourning in Tini>
| buctoo there was danger for a few
* days that the street mob would at.
tack his house. One of his women
servant-: advised liiu to remove his |
'' haivan to a pla?'e of safety. This
word means livestock, such as cattle 1
or camels, and liarth told the woman ^
that he had only his horse with him. i
It was some Jiine before he learned |
that the servant did not mean to reler
particularly to his horse, but to ^
all his possessions. ^
When the Frenchman llourst sue- ^
ceded in navigating the Niger from i
its mouth to I imbuctoo, some years ^
ago. a desert dweller, desiring to g
learn it lie came of a family of substance,
asked him how manv camels ^
his father owned and when Fourean $
crossed the desert with the largest 4
exploring party that ever entered the i
Sahara he received from a wealthy 4
native of Asger a present of a white
camel and was told that it was tho ^
most expensive present thai the resi- i
dents of that region could give any i
: one. ^
As a rule, however, the number of ^
camels in the possession of one indi- a
1 vidua! is not large. The average man
considers himsell wcll-fodo if he owns ^
^ two or three animals; the important {
chief whom Naehtigal met in his <
> seven years' wanderings was sa>id to
own about 100 camels. No one will
part with his camels excepting at an (
exorbitant price. Fourean found it <
< impossible to buy them in the heart
of the desert for less than about 250 !
^ I rancs, which was double their valj
ue in Algeria. (
I 1 he trrazing grounds are common '
'I I" all and there is no proper! v in (
' b'nd. I lie richest man lives in his ,

() 1? be sure he buys wives with his '
camels, just as the negro does with 1
^ his cattle, and wives come very high |
3 in Sahara, the daughter of the ordinary
man being worth as much as
9 four camels, while the price of a '
3 chief's daughter can be commanded '
only by the very wealthy. Some ex- I
0 plorers believe that very fat young
6 women are most popular in desert
simply because camel's milk is fat- '
2 toning, and if a girl is fleshy it
^ shows that her father his given her I
" all the camel's milk she can drink.
1 Such, a father must have a number
of camels, is, therefore, a wealthy
man, and it will be a good thing to '
a marry into his family.
