"A great overgrown baby. This is the
pudding-foOted pride of the desert,
whose silken hair is mans raiment, and
whose milk is meat and drink. While
my camel was still kneeling with his
strap over his leg. | stepped into the
curve of his neck and went up the front
stairs to the top of his hump. His sad
die was Il tree of wood with thick rugs
lashed over it. 1t was little like
swinging in saw-buck, riding that
camel to Sakkarah. He edged his way
over the desert. putting the two legs ON
one side of him forward at the same
time, and then keeling over and push
ing the other side ahead. was con
tinually rocked back and forth until
my head swung loosely on my shoulders
my sides ached and all my spine WAS
sore. Many people are Seasick when
they mount Il camel for the first time
The motion is not unlike that of il small
boat in chop sea. There is certainly
no pleasure and very little elegance in
your rest, as you toss to and fro on the
summit of that animated mountain OF

Camelback- Riding.
PHI. ID. Chemist, 26 Pine St, y.

A traveller in Cairo gives the follow
ing account of the delights of Camel
riding:
My camel was tied down in the sand
patiently awaiting his burden. You tie
IL camel to himself-that is, when he
has shut up his legs under him like
knife blades, you slip leathern brace
let over his knee and there YOU have
him, for it is impossible for him to open
his leg so long us this bracelet is around
it, binding the leg above the knee and
the shin-bone together like Il pair OF
tongs. OF course it is not easy to find
anything in the desert to which YOU
may tie your camel with security: Il
beneticeut Providence has therefore
made every camel his own hitchng-
post, likewise his own cistern and veg
ctable market and step -ladder-in fact
the camel is the most complete machine
on four legs that we have Il knowledge
of. His machinery is clumsy and needs
oiling. His. great joints show through
his sides, and his tail is the barest apol-
ogy and unworthy of notice. You would
think your camel went on stills if You
were to start off suddenly, sitting in :,
nest of luggage on that high back of
his. lOu would think he had his feet
in poultices, if yOu We're to look at the
soft, spongy things as they fall noise
lessly on the earth and spread under
his tottering weight. And that fearful
face of his, with its liquid and pathetic
eyes, and those deep cavities above
them, big enough to hold hens egg !;
his aquiline nose, with its narrow, slant
ing nostrils, that shut tight against the
sand storms and withering kamsin, and
give very scorntul expression to the
face; the whole face looks as if it were
just going to cry. The absurd under
lip is puckering and pouting to the most
charming extent and you are not at all
surprised when the beast finally bursts
into tears and cries long and loud like
