WISE WORDS.

The throne of another is not sta
bic for thee.
The reward of doing one duty is the
power to perform another.
Every one is as God made him, and
sometimes great deal worse !
The history of the world is nothing
but procession of clothed ideas.
Every one has his faults, but we do
not see the wallet on our own backs.
Recreation is only valuable as it un-
ends us; the idle know nothing of it.
Truth, like the sun, submits to be
obscured, but, like the sun, only for q
time.
Do not speak disrespectfully of per-
sonal appearancN,when any one present
may have the same defects.
What the superior man seeks is in
himself; what the small man seeks is
in others.
No one is obliged to think beyond
his lights, and we never leave good
sense behind till we wish to get be-
yond it.
When you give, take to yourself no
credit for generosity, unless you have
denied yourself something, so that you
could bestow the gift.
Whoever makes great fuss about
doing good, does very little; he who
wishes to be seen and noticed when
doing good, will not do it long.

Why Egyptians Lack Patriotism,

During my visit to Egypt--some
seven or eight years ago-there was
certainly no national feeling among
the Egyptians. Neither they nor
their ancestors for nearly two thou
sand years had known native rulers.
During all these long centuries they
had been the spoil of Roman, Arab,
Turk and Mameluke in turn; from
none, since the Roman time, had they
received protection of life and prop
erty or any national benefits, and it
was impossible that patriotism should
exist among them, for there is no
patriotism save in country worth
loving. The conduct of the Egyptian
troops in the late Russian war is
proof Of this. The few battalons
| saw in Egypt were fine
looking troops-wcll armed, instruct
ed and equipped. with intelligent
faces and excellent physique; yet they
proved utterly worthless, as it seems to
me, because they We're destitute of that
pride Which is inspired by patriotism E;
for them their flag had no meaning.
its honor was no concern of theirs.
Their conduct in Abyssinia and the
Soudan was similar. and no doubt from
the same cause. How can valor and
patriotism be expected from men whose
only knowledge of their government is
that derived from the taX-gatherer, the
ba5tinado and forced labor? The
achievements of that great soldier,
Ibrahim Pasha, are not in contradic-
tion with this conclusion, because few
of his troops were Fellaheen. His
conquering armies were mainly COM
posed of Arabs, Syrians, Nubians, Ar
nauts-in fact, Of fighting men from
all the neighboring parts of the East,
who were reduced to discipline by his
stern will and guided to victory by his
great military genius.-Genera1 George

A Type Of Indian Territory Indians.

l trotted my pony along pretty
briskly, and in half hours ride over
took an Indian riding slowly along on
mustang. 1 hailed him. He was a
friendly one. All Indians in the Ter
ritory are friendly. They are warm
friends if you have bottle of whisky
and a little money, and will never
leave you till the money and whisky
are gone. / found that he was going
to the " Big Spring" as he called it, or
Baxter Springs, in the southeastern
part of Kansas, the end Of my journey.
He said the reason I had seen no one
was L had travelled between two
ranges of settlements all the way
Had I gone ten miles to the north I
would have struck one of them. But
I was not sorry had not. My COM
panion could speak English very
plainly, and was very dirty and lazy.
He was a good type Of the in
habitants Of the Territory. He was
clad in gorgeous waistcoat of Dis
raeli pattern, buttoned with brass
army buttons, and had blanket fast
ened at the hips and wrapped around
his legs to the knees, while his feet
were covered with moccasins. He
said we were within two days travel
OF the springs, and that about one
hour before sunset we would strike off
from the trail and seek shelter for the
night among the Indian settlements
So we Travelled along, he being vrey
shy, hardly knowing how to manage
him, till 1 thought of the whisky bot
tie. l presented it to him. There was
change as if by magic. His tongue
was loosened and there was no more
silence. He told me Indian stories and
l was regaled with Indian folklore.
He told me that nine-tenths of the
people were against the opening of the
Territory to settlement, but they did
not feel safe against it on account of
treaties so often broken. He said if it
did happen there was no telling where
it would end, for the people would
surely rise against them, and they
would not rise unarmed or unsIilled in
the use of arms. 1t was now near sun
set, and according to his promise we
branched off toward the settlement.
In the days ride there had been great
change in the country, for it assumed
features more like those Of the State of
Missouri, but the climate was the same.
1t was the mixture of plain, woodland
and bluff thrown together in wonderful
confusion. Now and then an Indian
cabin would peer out between the trees,
and often there would be quite a we'll
kept farm, but it was Indian farming
Ill
top of bluff overlooking pretty lit
tie stream that rippled along toward
the south, and, winding down the bluff
into the valley below, we reached the
settlement, where we were to stop for
the night.-CoaTespoadeaace Of Boston

About Explosives.

Nitro-glycerine looks like oil. Work
men seeing it leaking from box OF
can have sometimes mistaken it for
sweet-oil, and have tried to nail the box
tighter with hammer. This causes a
terrific explosion. The way in which
the blasting powders are made is by
taking some such substances as sand
or sawdust and mixing nitrO-glycerine
with it. The most common of these
powders is dynamite y it looks
much like moist brown sugar. Some
others are called "dualin, "rendrock," I"
"mica-pOwder." The nitro-glycerine
soaked in the sand or sawdust can be
carried about without spilling, and can
be more safely handled. In the same
manner, if nitro-glycerine should be
spilled upon wood or cloth and should
soak into the substance, there might be
an explosion if the thing were after
ward struck or tossed about. When
ever one visits quarry, or new rail-
road, or any other place where blast
ing is going on, or any factory or es-
tablishment where nitro-glycerine or
blasting powder might be made or
kept, it is well to be careful about med
ding with any Notwithstanding oil or
any oily-looking powder.-Christian
