Some Blunders About Breakfast.

From the Philadelphia Tims'.
To q large proportion Of the civilized human
family brcakfas, Is anything bu, a success. There
are millions Of people who. instead Of enjoying
hearty meal a, the beginning Of the day. make
martyrs Of Themselves on little toast and some
coffee or pick at chicken bone and y morsel Of
steak. They do this with q languid air Of dissat-
isfaction, generally accompanied with the lamen.
tation that they do not enjoy their breakfast and
that |, does them no good. Much Of this unsatis-
factory way Of eating arises from habit. and most
Of the habit proceeds from dyspepsia. which IL

Dyspepsia Is commonly supposed TO have its
origin in physical arrangements. This supposi-

The seasons husband fishery at the summer re-
sorts Is generally reported failure. One reason
why the fishery failed was that the bait was too
gorgeous. While Il compelled admiration u daE-
slod thoss who admired Il. Its glitter was beau
tiful, but glance at Il was enough 10 drive the
poor fellows away with feelings Of thankfulness

Every summer there Is . complaint Of the lack
Of young men at the watering.plaees. This year
tho complaint is louder than ever. Ono Of the
reasons is that the extrayagant display made by

SILK IN THE SOUTH.

A silk company has been incorporated
at Aberdeea, Miss. Its general manager
who, as the agent of the Agricultural
Society of France, has visited China,
Japan, and all countries where silk is
cultivated, in oider to learn the best va
rieties of mulberry and the best stock
of silk worms, and who has devoted
the last ten years TO the establishment
OF silk culture in this country says:
From my long experience of silk
culture believe the Southern states
possess better climate for the success
full, profitable cultivation of silk than
any country in which the business
is carried on to day. The climate
is most like that of Japan, but is
even better. Il is infinitely superior
to that Of France, because of tine
wonderful eyenness of temperature.
There are no sudden cold snaps, such
as they have in France. Silk.culture
can be carried on, / am satisfied,
as cheaply in this country as IN France.
The land here Is cheaper, provisions are
cheaper, the working season is longer,
and negro labor in the south is not dear
er than labor in France. When the
industry shall have spread, too. through
out the south. as we expect il to do, il
will furnish employment to thousands
of women of all classes, and TO old people
and children. It is Il moderate estimate
that four or i've years after the planting
of mullbery-plantation, with ordinary
care and labor, a net profit of $3.50 to
$500 can be made per acre in silk-cul-
ture" The general southern agent of
the company says: "The plan of the
company Is, in addition 10 the culture
of silk. to raise mullberry-trees, eggs
and silk worms. and to sell and purchase
the cocOnns. The. company has at
present the only cOcoOnerY in the United

THE CROPS.

In the returns up To July l, received
by the department of agriculture at
Washington from all the states and ter
ritories Of the United States, an excep-
tionally fine showing is made as to all
the leading cereals except corn. Hill
nois, the stale of largest acreage, stands
lowest of all sIn the condition of corn,
and the general average of the whole
country is 50, against 90 in July last
year. A medium yield for the whole
country. which would be 1900, 100000
bushels, is now virtually out of the
question, and about the best that can be
hoped for is that the yield will aggregate
1900, 600, 900 bushels. 1t may fall short
of that amount with unfavorabIe
weather during the next eight or ten
weeks AS regards winter and spring
wheat, oats rye and barley, the returns
are remarkably favorable. The average
for winter wheat stands at 1O4, against
SO year ago, and all promise an IN
usually large yield.

CAUSES OF THE WAR.

We have been asked several times for
the causes of the war now going on in
Egypt, and publish the following from
the Kansas City Journal, as a plain and
comprehensive statement of the causes
which led to the trouble:
up to 1872 Egypt was virtually a
Turkish province, the ruler being q
viceroy of Turkey, but in that year the
powers of the head ofSthe Egyptian ma
ton were enlarged, and Ismail Pasha
was given the title of khedive, with the
right of succession from father to son.
The khedive of Egypt then became vir-
tnally an independent sovereign, on the
condition of paying tribute and giving
military aid to Turkey IN case Of war,
Under such conditions Ismail Pasha was
ruling at the beginning of Lord BeacOns-
fields last administration In England. As
we have stated before, Ismail Pasha at
tempted to mOdernize Egypt. He called
in foreign engineers and constructed
railways, telegraph lines, opera houses
and expensive palaces. He built docks
and forts. He leYied war against the
king of Abyssinia and had his troops
drilled and led by some of the bravesi
American ami French officers. His
rule was of the most extravaganza and
reckless character. He was attempting
TO ape European nations, and lacked the
Judgment and experience to do so sue
cessfully.
There could be but one result FROM
| this procedure, and rs we have stated
before he finally succeeded in fastening g
debt of $4Ol, 005 600 on the Egyptian
people. This debt had been borrowed
of French, English aud German banker,
at rates of interest ranging from 12 to q
per cent. Now AS there are only 5000
600 acres of tillable land in Egypt anC
as 9 Ich acre has TO support one person
and pay SO taxes year. the debt becam

laheen as they are called.
In 1876 the khedive was no longe
