Forced Labor In Egypt.

The conditions of forced labor do not
seem to differ much in the different parts
of the country. Nowhere do the labor
ers receive any pay or food or shelter,
while their treatment by their task
masters would seem to be simply
brutal. Mr.. Stuard describes the sys-
tenn as he saw it III operation in the
province of Keneh, in Upper Egypt. A
cut of about eighteen feet in depth had
to be made through conglomerate of
sand and gravel; this was fianked right
and left by high entertainments con-
structed of the material taken from the
trench, and along the bottom and on
the slopes "men swarmed thickly, like
bees on honeycomb, for a distance of
about mile in length. The entire
strength of the impressable labor in the
province, amounting TO about 10000
men, was concentrated on this work.
The men toiled from sunrise to sun
set, with the thermometer at 80 degrees
in the shade, having only brief inter
val ut midday for meal of bread
soaked in unfiltered Nile water. This,
with similar meal before beginning
and after leaving off, constituted the
days dietary. The laborers provided
their own baskets for carrying the exs
cavated soil, and their own tools, when
they used any, but most employed their
fingers. Overseers walked about
among them armed with sticks, with
which they struck the men while they
were carrying loads upon their heads,
often without any apparent reason. At
night they slept upon the ground al
most without clothing, and quite with
out shelter, though the air was often
very cold Mr.. Stuart has often seen
negro slaves at work in the cotton
plantations of Cuba, and the convicts
at Portland, and both were to be en-
We'd, in his opinion, by the side of
these fellahs.-LOndOn Globe.

neck and ears, trims his hnir-and pulls
il too, if he is at all refractory-who
contradicts him before their children,
not allowing him to express an opinion
without Immediately volunteering ono
in an opposite direction.
The woman who always demands the
money on "pay day." and if her husband
ventures to ask for dollar looks at
him sharply and asks what he wants it
for: says there is no need for man to
have money when his wife needs it all
to clothe and feed her family
The woman who wears the "breeches'
is almost sure to lay by something for
rainy day" as she never allows her
husband day of recreation, although
on holidays she usually takes him out
with the other children for a little en-
joyment.
Her husband always has quiet, sub
dued air, and speaks in a very nervous,
hasty manner, and looks around quiet
ly from under his eyebrows, as if ex-
pecting to hear some voice in con-
tradiction.
He has the habit of smoothing the
top of his head gently and soothingly,
as If his hair had been recently pulled.
The woman who wears the breeches
Is usually called smart" by the men,
and a "tyrant" by the women. She
speaks of the homestead az "my place,
or "my farm" and considers her hus-
band of no account in the buying or
selling of cattle.
She knows just how much the pigs
will weigh, and the market value OF
everything the farm produces for sale.
She Is close at bargain, and has been
known to go so far as to drive the team
and help to load the wood. She al
ways manages the children, and if one
of them should turn out poorly, she
says:
"That child is more like his father
than all the rest"
Nobody has much love for her, and
as she has proved eminently able to
take care of herself by taking care OF
the whole family, no one cares much
for her.
The woman who wears the breaches
always puts her husband to bed first,
that he may warm the front side, and
then rolls him over to the wall when
she gets in, and would make him get
up and kindle the fire of morning
only she thinks he does not know
enough.
She understands politics, and hel
husband votes for the man she tells
him to vote for.-BOStOn Transcript

The Lime-Kiln Club.

The lecturer who, it was hoped,
would show up at this meeting having
failed again, Judge Chewso arose and
suggested that it would be a good idea
TO give members of the club chance
to make few remarks on pertinent sub
jects. There were many orators in the
club, many pertinent subjects, and such
q programme as he had suggested
would tend to increase confidence, save
fuel, cure bad breath and rescue or
atory from the swamp into which the
State Legislature had consigned it.
Very well" said the President as
the Judge sat down; 1--WE will now lis
ten to some oratory from Brudder
Chewso on Gle pertinent subjeck of di-
vorce."
The Judge arose, removed his coat,
pushed up his sleeves, cleared his throat
with sound like a tin-pan rolling
along gravelled roof, and began.

The Judge sat down, and it is under
stood that he will resign from the club.

A NEAT statement of the case was
that made by Western farmer who
had tried to make a living on some of
the arid Government grants of the far
West. Some one said to him: "That's
a pretty good law giving man 100
acres if he will live on it five years. :"
NO such thing" said the other.
~This is all there is of it: The Govern
ment gets man there, and then bets
him a quarter section agin nothing that
he'll starve to death if he tries to live
there five years. And Uncle Sam wins
nine times in ten"

Twpnty.FOur O'Clock.

The RdiLcdy Reporter says that the
Cleveland, Akron and Columbus Rail
road Company have recently issued a
new time-card, based on the twenty-four-
hour system-that of numbering the
hours of the day from one to twenty
four, instead of making two divisions of
twelve hours each, designated or dis
tinguished as ante-meridian and post
meridian-a. IN. and p. m. At present
still another designation is used, that
of m. when II midnight is to be distin-
gnished from II p. M. The Reporter
says that this company is the first to
employ this continuous system, but in
reality the method is very old one,
coeval with the history of clocks, and
is still in use in some parts of South
eastern Europe. The Reporter adds
that "the day beginning at midnight, as
under the common system, but there Is
no possibility of confusion between fore
noon and afternoon hours. The great
est advantage of this scheme in rail
way time table will be seen at once: z
a. m. and p. m. are frequently mis-
printed and misunderstood, while no
one will confound o'clock with 10
o'clock. Any watch or clock can be
adapted to the system by simply put
ting the extension of the hours in a cir
Gle just inside of those already on the
face. The exterior numbers will then
be consulted up to II o'clock (noon),
and the interior ones for the remainder
of the day.-Scientigc american.

Arabs of the SOudan.

The Arabs of the desert are of dark
bronze shade, some almost approach
ing to black, but there is nothing of
the negro type in their sharply-cut
features, and many of our guides and
camel men were strikingly handsome.
With scant drapery about their loins
they march or ride, proud and erect.
each man being armed with lance and
shield, or long two-edged sword. The
hair is worn in most peculiar fashion,
with a crown tuft on the top of the
head, and then left to fall on either
side of the shoulders at the back The
head-dress and features of the Bisha-
reen Arabs reminded me greatly of the
profile paintings on the walls of the
ancient tombs of Sahara, Luxor and
Thebes. Some recent travellers have
fancied they have found an affinity in
their language to that of the ancient
Egyptians, and it has been suggested
that this now half-savage race may,
thousands of years ago, have sent their
pioneers by the bed of the Nile to
people and settle in Upper and Lower
Egypt

The Etiquette of Marriage.

According to Honore de BalZac, only
two kinds of women are permitted to
make advances to men-to take that
first step" which, after all, costs very
little. The women specially excepted
from the general rule are Queens and
actresses; and, with all due respect for
the throne and for the stage, it. must be
admitted that members of these two
privileged classes have, in many cases,
profted largely by the permission ac-
corded to them. Queens and actresses
meaning, in the latter case, queens of
the theater, and not the whole crowd of
women and girls who have entered upon
the dramatic career-are surrounded by
homage; so that what on the part of
other women would be active selection
is but passive selection on theirs. They
are in no way exposed to the ignominy
of a rebuff A Queen, moreover, is
strictly forbidden by etiquette to re-
ceive an unbidden declaration of love,
or a spontaneous invitation of any kind.
From dancing partner to a partner for
life she must signify her choice. AS
much cannot be said of the prima donna
or the great tragic or comic actress.
But, whether it should be so or not,
the queens of the stage, while exposed
to at least as fierce a light as that which
"beats upon a throne" stand equally
with the enthroned ones above the
reach of conventional etiquette.

1t is now craven on the tablet Of hi

1t is now craven on the tablet of his
tory that though Columbus was the
first discoverer of our Western Cont
nent, from which the practical beneiits
of occupation and settlement were re-
ceived, he was not the first European
to plant footsteps on it's soil, that hay
ing been accomplished further beyond
his time than the present Is removed
from his great discovery. Erik, bold
Norseman, colonized Greenland from
Iceland, and Lief, his holder son, and
other Greenland Morse, discovered
America, probably as far south rs
Massachusetts,, or even the Chesapeake,
certainly as far as Labrador and the
Island of Newfoundland No results,
however, followed from these discov-
cries, and the hardy Norsemen seemed
content to live in desolate Greenland,
although we might add that many phys
ical appearances and more definite ac-
counts all seem to show that Green
land, about A. ID. 1000-around which
these events were clustered-was n
much warmer and more temperate
country than it now is.
| How long the Greenland Morse ex-
listed we know not exactly. They finally
broke off communication with mother
Iceland, lived and intermarried among
the Skrallings, as they called the Es-
quimaux, but were extinct in 1879 and
1851, when the first expeditions were
dispatched from Denmark for the re-
discovery of Greenland, and it's ancient
colonizers, if they still existed, and the
resumption of the trade with its inhab-
itants. The last definitely known of
these Greenland Morse is that they paid
their tribute to the Crusades in the
shape of walrus tusks, delivered at
Bergen, in 1927, and their weight is
noted on a receipt, which is still in ex-
istence.
Only eight years before Columbus
discovered America, according to an old
historical notice reputed to have been
found, there still lived forty men in
Bergen who were acquainted with the
Greeland navigation, and used annually
to bring home precious cargoes from
that country. On returning in that
year, they were asked, by certain Ger
man merchants who staid at Bergen, to
sell some of their wares, but they de.
clined to let them have any of them.
The Germans then took revenge by
numbering them, in an assault commit
ted during banquet to which they had
invited them. From this time, it is
said, it became impossible to sail for
Greenland, because no one knew the
road to it's shores. This is the last we
know indefinitely of the Morse Green
landers, the receipt for the Crusade tax
at Bergen being the last we know def

Took the Risk.

When Brigham Young was alive he
collected his tenth of the farmer with a
persistency that baked at nothing. On
one occasion he called before him sub
ject who has since removed to this
State, and said:
Brother Blank, you have not
brought in my wheat this year"
II didn't raise single bushel, was
the reply.
"Then I'll take it i'll oats"
Il have none"
well, hay viii do
Il have no hay"
"Then bring in potatoes or corn
"Both crops were failure, oh, wise
Prophet. All / have off my farm are
ten bushels of onions, and of course
the Lord doesn't eat onions"
Maybe not" growled the old man,
"but you bring me in bushel and we'll
take the risk of il"
Mr.. Blank said it was that bushel of
onions which convinced him that there
was something suspicious about old
Brigham's inspirations. 1t was too
strong religion.-IVdU Street Ne,oS.

Must Make Her own Standard.

This is the opinion of Mrs. ID. H. b.
Goodale III an article in "EdlLcation' on
Mothers as Educators. "If God
and man made women unlike, for diff
ferent work-and this we believe--then
no man can teach woman what she
most needs to know. In the field of
life there is great realm of common
riches, common pursuits, which may be
shared or divided in thousand vary
ing proportions to mutual advantage
and delight; but for her most specific
and individual work she can take her
orders from that power alone which
rules all. She must see clearer, deter
mine more firmly, act more enthusiasts
cally and devoutly on her own true
lines, than man can do or can suggest.
She must make her own standards, her
own methods"

PROF. PHILIP ScHAFF says that the
Old Testament is still in the hands of
the American revisers, who are prepar-
ing the American appendix; that is,
selecting from all their readings and
renderings which the British revisers
have rejected those which they deem
worth laying before the public for final
decision. The revised Old Testament
will probably be published before next
spring. Then the Convocation of Can
terbury, which originated the move
ment, will subject it to official judgment.
The adoption without any qualification
Will meet with strong opposition, DR..
Schaff thinks, from those who were
always opposed to any revision, who
had no share in the present work and
are dissatisfied with the results for some
reason or other.
