LIFE IN A MINING CAMP.
Vivid Picture of the Ways of the Peo-
pie In Brand-New Western
Towns.

In Harper's Magazine Philip Verri
Mighels gives a vivid picture Of west
ern mining camp as he saw 1t on the
night of his arrival: 1T was twilight
when we came In sight Of the brAnd-nev
mining camp, built in a natural amphi-
lthsater formed by the square-cut table
mountains. 1t wss a thickly studded
constellation Of tents, with struggling
domiciles and dugots scattered about
over space Of ten square miles. In
their Wilderness and sQuarensss the
tents resembled countless dice at rest
where the toss of fate and chance had
left them to grasp at foothold.
The darkness closed In as We drove
into town Our teamster swung his an
imalG at once into large corral, where
hundreds Of mules, dozen covS scores
Of men, great dusty wagons and piles
and heaps of baggage, lumber cases,
rolls Of bedding, gaunt iron boilers and
domestic necessities were mixed In
hopeless confusion.
IT paid him my fare and told him |
would willingly pay him more could he
manage to provide me with 611 &C
commodation In his blankets for the
night. He knew men we're walking the
streets for lack OF beds In the town and,
being a large-hearted teamster, he
agreed to take me In, provided there
was space sufficient under cover.
"T sleep most anywhere in this cor
rail- he said. There's tent over here
that we may get In II there amt too
many beds there now
I'm the semi darkness we stumbled
over to the tent, which we entered. A
second later he let out a horrible whoop.
He had bumped into something alive. It
was merely COW. She had gone inside
in search either for news from home or
hay In the mattresses. She came out
hurriedly, bowling the writer aside In
her haste. Then a match was lighted,
It's wavering Hight revealing nine rough
beds in the tent, all on the ground, In u
space 80 limited that many were, per-
force, rolled up In order to squeeze Into
the space. But could come here and
bunk in with the teanster If nothing
more inviting could be found. He
seemed to believe there was room.
"A final storm Of the day now broke
before could make my way from the
strewn corral In Nevada the rarest
disturbance known Is a storm Of thun-
der and rain. But tonight above the
brow Of the somber mountains ragged
mighty war Of elements, terrific and
ominous, Out Of clouds as black as
felt stabbed three-pronged lightning
strokes, vicious and awful. A sudden
wind hurled dust and rain and hail to-
gether in a tempest on the town. The
street was ablaze with lights from a
score of saloons and gambling halls.
Music arose from these thronged
abodes Of carelessness. 1t swept in in
terrupted gushes on the storm, laugh
ing out its frivolity against the stern,
deep roar of thunder from the hill. To
me 1t was threat and portent, fearful
and majestic, that the gods were sound
ing"

The British Speaker.

Not only does the speaker of the
house of commons enjoy the material
benefits of lordly residence at West
minister palace, salary Of $4,000 a
year, e10O year for stationery, and
two hogsheads Of claret and 1900
ounces of plate on election, but he en-
Joys the less substantial advantage of
taking precedence Of all other COM
moners. BY an act of 1859 it was pro-
vided that the lords commissioners OF
the great seal not being peers shall
have and take place next after the
peers of the realm and the speaker Of
the house of commons.

Gardening Ants.

The ways Of the ants are further
elucidated by E. Uls Of Berlin. who
has visited the flower gardens fash
toned by the marvellous ants Of ANA
Eonia and Peru In the crowns OF the
trees. These gardens, or. perhaps,
baskets, he has studied IN their vari-
GUS stages - growth from the time
when the plants are Just budding until
the long. slender leaves are fully de-
veloped. All the plants cultivated By
the ant gardeners have extremely
minute seeds or spores. which are evil

ists In their nests.

be possible to make approach to the
pole itself, and that the land in that
vicinity may even become inhabited.
