Thousands Wend Their Way Over the
Rough Trails Of the Tartar Steppes.
The popular idea regarding ''the
ship Of the desert" is completely at
fault II applied to the camels Of Mon
golia and Peehili. according to the Cen
fury. Juvenile natural histories talk Of
the soft padded foot for which the an
imal is so distinguished, as If SANDY
bottom" were the only surface upon
which he could walk with comfort. But
the greater part of all mercantile
transport in North China is performed
by camels, and, except in the immediate
neighborhood of Pekin, sand is an un-
known luxury 10 this much-enduring
beast.
How vast is the number Of camels
thus employed may be guessed from the
fact that during one days journey we
passed more than eight hundred wend-
ing their dilatory way FROM the Tartar
steppes to the plains of Chilli They
chiefly carried soda-sdap, kind Of an
imal allsali or I've found on tho borders
Of Mongolia, and cut into blocks, each
weighing about two hundred and sixty
pounds
At no time is the camel aprepossessing
object. But here nature provides him
with so shaggy a covering that his UNI
calmly form becomes even more hid
eous. Camers wool, by the way, used
for padding clothes, is an article of con-
siderable traffic hereabouts, and when
spring zephyrs take the place of winter
blasts, the herdsmen of the plateau
shear their camels by a process which
preserves the merit Of extreme sim
plicity, pulling out by hand whatever
has not been shed naturally. Many an
iInals are kept for the sole purpose of
yielding wool, but the amount obtain
able from each is singularly dispropor-
toned to the huge bulk Of its producer.
A heavy fleece taken from full-grown
camel will seldom average over seven
pounds, while eight dollars is a high
price for the picul Of one hundred and
thirty-three pounds.

ALFRED De RoTHscHlLD.

England's Spokesman at the Brussels
Monetary Conference.
1t has been said that the most inn
portant result accomplished by the in
ternational monetary conference at
Brussels has been the practical admis-
sion by monometallic countries that
there is something in the silver ques-
ton. Some extreme advocates of sim
gle standard have urged that the
finances of gold countries were secure
so long as their system was adhered to.
The Brussels conference, says the Illus
trated American, has made converts to
the belief that the accumulation Of
silver in the United States, for instance,
under the present law is like storing
water behind dam; should the accum-
ulation of silver become too great and
the United States be obliged TO put
their stock upon the market the result
might be like the breaking Of the dam,
and the flood might hurt other coun-
tries besides the one concerned most d.
rectly. This is taken as one meaning

Sullivan county, where wild land may
be bought at less than five dollars an
acre and where many trout streams are
unpreserved, has an extraordinary
story of Brooklyn sportsman who found
himself at the edge Of trout hole lit
orally swarming with fish when he was
unprovided with tackle He gave a de-
spairinR glance at the fish and was
about 10 pass on when a most unsports-
manlile idea came into his head, and
the next moment ne yielded to the
temptation. The stream was narrow
and the sportsman was broad, 50 talk
ing off his trousers he tied the legs into
sacks, and going to the narrowest part
of the trout hole down stream he
weighed down the waistband with
stones aud propped wide the natural
entrance TO the trousers with stout
sticks. Then wading into the stream
above the fish, he had the satisfaction
Of driving the whole shoal into the
gaping mouth of his netted garments.
Approaching cautiously he snatched
the trousers from the water and laid
their writing limbs upon the bank
His conduct was most unsportsmanlilye,
but those who ate the trout overlooked
