The Western StayePrlTr. It m wortk a day's journey to get swqwamted with the average western off driver, to listen to hi stories and abserve bis ways. "Ha k only a anger," i a slang wxpr-jio which I sawistimMS hear used in the East to de mtMm a person who think he Manage . mm important enterprise which i reafly controlled bjr other and more Iwperuat men; but I never appreciated hw forcible it was until I took my seat cut the box by the side of a Western stnge-drivar. 11m conductor of a railway train i the inaa who comes along tkrowg h the ear at intervals and punches . a peeottarlv shaped hole iu your ticket, r tears off a ooojkw as you approach th end of a division, lie waves his hand or swings his lantern for the train to Mart, but the fact that he is the man. fete whose hands we commit oar lives, the autocrat of the train, never occurs to ate unless some accident happens through his neglig enee. The stage-driver is the conductor, engineer, fireman and brakemaa; he is 'the captain of the ship, it complement of oUScersi and the crew, and when he gathers up his lime, nn winds his whiplash from its stock and "pull out," he is the " boss" until he reaches the end of his route. His coach is not ma by telegraph; ha does not wait at stations for orders to "20 ahead;" he goes fast or slow as he pleases. And the stagedriver generally knows his own importance ami makes his passenger: feel it. If you gat on the right side of him he will crowd the journey full of interest and pleasure, but if he conceives a dislike or contempt for you; the sooner you get a seat inside the coach the better it will be for you. A majority of the Western 9taedrivers are middle-aged men (less than lifty), but they have lived a hundred years if time was only measured by the experience they have had. It is rare to meet one nowadays who did not drive :

on the old overland route, and many of them served their apprenticeships in the States east of the Missouri River before that route was established. To hear a man whose hair has not legun to turn gray tell of his adventures on the plains and in the mountains before there was a Pacific Railroad is to mo almost like Ketoatar to a soldier of the Revolution describing the battle of Bunker Hill. One period seems little more remote than the other to one who never saw this country until he could oome here by rail, and to our children they will be equally remote periods of the romantic I think I would know a Western, stage-driver wherever I might see him on the box. Though not uniformed, there are certain peculiarities in the wav they wear their clothos that, though difficult to describe, are unmistakable. But there is more in the manner than in the drees. They sit upon the bos as though they were part of it. they hold the reins in a certain way, and the butt end of the long whip, when not in ne, lies loosely between the thumb and forefinger of the right band, while the top rest across the Knee. If I saw a man who was driving ia this way take all the reins and the whip ia his left hand when he came toa level piece of road or a slight ascent, draw the end of his whip-lash tenderlv through his right hand, and then, by a . continuation of the same motion, raise ; his hand very slowly as he let the snapper drop, and taking his hat by the rim j behind push it forward over his eyes, I j should be disappointed if, when I asked him if he did not drive for Wells, Fargo & Co. or Ben HoJlidav in olden times, he did not reply: 4 -You bet," or "I should remark." These fellows are generally rough and profane, but they are men of undoubted nerve, brave as a lion and full of resources when in danger or difficulty. Toward ladies they are, almost without exception, I believe, polite and gallant. To their friends they are as true as steal, and there is aaense of honor prevalent among them that makes them remark sbly trustworthy. "1 treat every man white who treats me white, and don't yon forget it," said "Frank" the driver with whom I rode to Silver Cliff the other day, ia speaking of his relation with his employers. "Thecal ways done what's right by me aad'l eaa'tkick," he added. And this was said ia a way which showed that he meant it. Cor. N. Y. Tribune Lovely Wemaa Her Rights Her Wrongs.

Take the whole pair; there is nothing mean about us. Seriously, we believe in your emaaoipaiioH. We know you do more work for less money than your brother can be hired to do. We know that you are underpaid, as a rule, for most that you do. We know how you have been elbowed and crowded out of the professional world so long as men could keep you out. We know that your rights have been disregarded alike by the hostility of your enemies and the careless thouehtlessnees of your friends. We know how your courage, fidelity ami ability have Wen underrated. And if we could we woukl overturn all this in a minute. Personally, we would like to jwt the ballot in your hands this fall, knowing as we do that your hands would honor it. But, with all this, we fear that man is not your worst enemy.

No man with, whom ycu deal is so pitiles as women. Your wont tyrants are thons of your own ev. Only a few days ago wts heard Mrs. Uvermora lecture on ' Super Huous Women." She tW us all about the bf-autifnl thrums she saw at the Centennial, all made by women. We enjoved her lecture. applauded and indorsed it, but we felt .d when she told about the beautiful things she aw at the Cectcnnial that women made. Here, to our way of thinking is the wct imperfect lhae of woman's education. We don t know what she can make, but we do know what she can't make. Site can't make her own Now, how can women expect to go out into the great world and compete with her brother until she can make her owb clothes as well as her brother makes his? Don't tell us you can, becattle we know better. You can't.

If we are a tbouaad miles from home we have just to write and the suit is made, sent by express and fits just as well as though we run in to fuss over it six times a minute. Now, on the other hand, our wife wants a drew. After two or three or i half a doen stores hare been ransacked ' for the goods, the dressmaker is sought ' out. The matter of measurement U 1

Or suppose there were no suspender ' buttons aft, and we had to use pins mere.' suppose he matte our shirts so t that we woukl have to pia on the collar. how- long woukl such a shirt or suit of clothes stay in the house? Who woukl be responsible for the language used by the man vho had to pin on his coat? No tailor would dare to tempt the wrath of independent man. But woman alas! she patiently pins on the dress that she paid some one thirty or forty dollars to make, and doesn't think anything about it We will not pursue this painful subject. Let the women of America take it up and think about it, and learn, in the noble independence of womanhood, to make their clothes before they put them on. Bob BvnleUc, in BwHngUm llamkeyc.

THE SHIP OF THE DESERT, Unlike other shins, this one begins by being a very feeble and helpless little craft, indeed. For the first week er lts btttnch on the great sen of life 11 squires much careful watching on th Prt of the owners, Strange as it may sound, in verv uKsccating it. Those who have closely observe! camel nature tell us it is never known to play or frolic like lambs or colts, or like most young creatures of tho earth, in fact; I Hit that, ia its babyhood, it is as grave and melancholy as in its old age, bora apparently with a deep sense of its owa ugliness, and a mournful resignation to a long awl joyless career. When it has reached its third year, the hump-backed animal is counted old enough to begin its life of labor. The trainers then take it in hand. Thev teack it to kneel and bear barwau guuuy uic hhku whioh gradually thev make neavmraau neavmr, uniu meir cnarge supposed to have to come to tne fu,! strength of oamel maturity.

If the camel can rise with the load on its back, this is proof positive that he can curry it throughout the journey, al though it sometimes happens, ii the journey be only a very short one. the Ptient beast is loaded so heavily that ll be helped onto its feet by means w u revere, in some piaces oanieiscry out against this excessive loading in a most piteous and distressing manner the cry resembling; that of a very young child in pain, antl being a most dismal sound to hear; but in other Krts of the world they will bear their rden, however heavy, without complaining. An ordinary camel's load is from seven to eight hundred pounds. With 1 this weight on their backs, a train of ) camels will cross thirty miles of desert ! during a day. Those used to carry dis- i patches, having only the light weight 1 01 ute uispaicn-oearcr, 01 course are expected to travel much faster, however, and will easily accomplish two hundred and forty miles in the same length of time. Ungainly, awkward, repulsive-looking as these creatures are, with their great projecting harelips and their hairy humps, they have the compensation of being most priceless treasures to all those who "dwell ia tents" in IS t1 P Egypt. Arabm Their stomachs are so formed bv Na ture that they are capable of being con- ' verted into a set of water tanks, a mini-1 berof small cells tilled with the purest water being fastened to the sides of' each, and when all food faib. it makes ' little difference to a camel or dromedary 1 at least for a time. I Ther humps are composed of a fatty suWtnnce. Day by day the humpdi-j miBulllu. Mill the fai in akmrluul ' the animal's svstem, furnishinr nourish ment until food is forthcoming. Titus, with these stores of water and fuel on board, the "ship" can go on ,,tr witl. it nr .ir;v-;., .i.:i !j !i 'JfSnJ t! K; J1 "M-"9 perhaps, it be some bird of the ostrich tribe would never dream of touching, will furnish forth a suniptuou racal for a camel. Off a handful of thorns and briers he can make an excellent breakfast, and I believe he will not disdain anything apparently so untempting as a bit of dry wood. Provided that at certain periods of, the year a short holiday w allowed the i camel for pasturing, quite at its leisure, 1 to recruit its strength and till that store-house on its back with fuel, it will serve its master, on such meagerfare a i nnve meniioneii, lor tun tllty yean. .Still, all work and no play is as bad for , camels as it is for Iwys. Kven with identyo! fuelonlKtanl, the lesert-ship owners are wiie vnotigh not

to impose too long journeys upon their heavilv-hulen fleets. A camel's foot is of a jwculiar formation. It is wide-spreading, ami is provided with fleshy pads or cushions; and, if after a certain nuich rest were not given, the skin would wear off these mU, the Mesh become bare, bringing couse)uences direful, indeed. Probably the ullrittg creature would kneel down, fold its long legs under its body, ami, stretching out its long neck on tho ground, calmly announce hi camel language that it would go no further. It is no use whatever to try to make a camel go against his will. If it once refuses, you have but two ways open to you: you may quietly He down beside it until it is ready to move, or you may abandon it forever. Other course there is none. It is a curious fact that, notwithstanding the softness of the earners foot, it

can walk over the sharpest .stones, or thorns, or roots of trees, without the least danger of wounding itself, and that what this st ran Intast most dreads 1 is wet ami marshy ground. We read that "the instant it places its feet tiK)n anything like mud, it slip ami suites, anil generally, alter stagf Bering about like a drunken man, falls lenvily oh its side." The use of the camel to the various i peoples of tho East is almost incalculable. Many au Arab t'nids his chief .sustenance in the cheese, butter and milk nf thi nuvfh.-r iin,l. Tlti Hili nf young camels is ato often eaten. j J.he Konian r.uipcror lietiogabaun is ' said to have reckoned camel's feet one ' of tho daintiest dainties of his suniptu- " ous banquets, and he considered a oor- ' tton of tender camel roast a thins; to bo bv no means despised. To this dav, in deed, camel's hump cut into slices and dissolved in tea is counted a relish bv the Tartar tribes. Camel's skin is made into strans and sandals, while brushes and ropes, cloth antl tents, sacks ami carpets, arc made entirely from camel's hair. Even year toward the beginning of summer the camel sheds its hair, every bristle of which vanishes before the new hair begins to grow. For three weeks this bare condition lasts. His camelship looks as if he had been shaved without mercy from the tip of his tail to the top of his head, and during this shaven season he is extremely sensitive to the cold or wet, shaking in every limb if a drop of rain falls, shivering painfully in the chilliness of the night air. Iiy-and-by the new hair begins to grow fine, soft, curly wool that gradually becomes long, thick, soft fur; and after this, the ram may rain as much as it likes, the night air "may be as chilly as it will, the camel will not care a grain. In that armor of .Nature's providing he will not shiver or shake any more. The hair of a camel, on an average, will weigh about ten pounds. It is said to be sometimes finer than silk and longer than the wool of a sheen. In the course of my reading, a short time ago, I met with an account of a camel mar- ! ket ia a town of Tartary especially noted for its trade in that species of live stock. In the center of Rluo Town, it seems there is a large square, where the animals are ranged in long rows together, their front feet raised upon mud elevations constructed expressly for the purpose, the object of which is to show off the size and height of the ungainly creatures. The confusion and noise of this mar ket are described as something frightful and indescribable," with the conttn- ' ual chattering of the buyers and sellers ' disputing noisily over their bargains, I in addition to the wild shrieking of tho camels, whose noses are pulled roughly to make them show off their agility in rising and kneeling. Nature has given the camel, you must remember, no means of defense except its prloned piercing cry, and a horrible'sneese of its own, whereby the object of its hatred is sometimes" covered with a mass of tilth from its mouth. It cannot bite its tormentor, and at told ymi already. Can you wonder, then, that the air of Blue Town is made hideous with the shrieking of the camels as, to test their strength, they are made to kneel while one thing after another is piled on their backs, and made to rise under each new burden, until they can rise no longer? ''Sometimes while the camel Is kneeling a man gets upon its hindheels, and holds on by the long hair of its hump: if the camel can rise then it is considered an animal of superior power" according to the writer above quoted. The trade in camels is entirely conducted by proxy; the seller and the buyer never settle the matter between themselves. They select diflercnt jiersons to sell their goods, who propose, discuss and fix the price, the one looking to the interests of the seller, the other to those of the purchaser. These sale-speakers1 exercise no tit her trade. They go from market to market, to promote business, as they say. They have generally a great knowleilgo of cattle, have much iluency of tongue, and arc, above all, endowed with a knavery beyond all slintnc. They dispute by turns furiously and argunientatively as to the merits and defects of the animal, but as soon as it comes to be n question of price, the tongue is laid aside as a medium, and the conversation proceeds altogether in signs." rKr's Young Veepk.
