Ell Mahdi Advancing into Egypt.

LONDON, December 3l.-Recent re
ports from Egypt leave no doubt that
the mystery surrounding the move
ments of the False Prophet has been
dis,ipated, and that he is now on the
march from KOrdofan into Egypt
proper with a large army. A Suakim
correspondent of the Daily NeUS gives
an alarming account of the situation.
He says that the insurrecti0nary
movement is spreading along the
coast of the Red Sea, and Baker Pasha
is convinced that it is of most for
midable religio political character.
AbySSinian demonstrations on the
Kassala road render the situation still
more critical. Nothing can be done
at present, as an immediate advance
would mean disaster. The British
gunboats haye gone to MaSsOWah.
One thousand women and children,
together with four hundred soldiers,
arc bravely holding out at Sincat.
Even with the prOmptest action on
the part of England there will be
barely time to same those people from
a terrible fate. 1t is believed that
there are twenty thousand rebels be-
tween Suakim and Sincat.
Should the Egyptians attempt tC
march to Berber. it is believed that
one hundred thousand rebels would
oppose them. A general order was
issued on Monday announcing the

who is engaged in manufacturing
pursuits, "it will be found that not
only Pennsylvania and New Eng
land favor a protective policy, but
that the South is rapidly following in
their wake. All over the South the
effects of the war are rapidly becom-
ing eradicated. With the improved
financial condition of our people and
the enlightment which has followed
the severe lesson taught us in those
terrible years, we are beginning to
learn that money can be made out

sugar and rice. We have learned in
fact that we have all the advantages
enjoyed by the Northern and Middle
States to make manufacturing indus

deal of that feeling which is so COM
mon among the aristocratic classes OF

this feeling still exists among the
Older element but among the rising
generation feeling is gaining ground
that the forge and tie factory are ex

1.-THE result is readily seen. In my
State we have cotton factories, blast
furnaces and manufactures ofall sorts
springing up. We haye coal and
minerals in abundance, labor is cheap

we do not want free trade just yet

The small seeded fruits. such as
blackberries, figs, raspberries, and
strawberries, may he classed among
the best foods and medicines. The
sugar in them is nutritious, the acid
is cooling and purifying, and the
seeds are laxative. We would be-
much the gamers if we would look
more to our gardens and orchards for
our medicines, and less to our drug
stores. To cure fever or act on the
kidneys, no febrifuge or diuretic is
superior to watermelons, which may,
with very few exceptions, be taken in
sickness and in health, in almost un"
limited quantities, not only without
injury, but with positive benefit.
But in using them, the water, or
juice should be taken, excluding the
pulp and the melon should be fresh
and ripe, but not over ripe and stale.

and the confession of a number of
them has resulted in the conviction
of three of the band, and they will be
sent to the State Reform School until
they are twenty-one years of age. 1t
may well be doubted. however. if
seven years. imprisonment among
youths more depraved than they, is
a wise measure of reform. And in
view of the fact that those who are
morally responsible for their crime
will go scot free, their sentence seems
unnecessarily severe. They go into
the Reform School the victims of
their youthful ignorance. but with no
criminal instincts. They may come
out hardened criminals.
The lesson which all this teaches is
so timeworn that it seems hardly me-
cessary to repeat it. The evil of per-
nicious literature for boys and girls
is rapidly attaining gigantic proper
tons. Some one in speaking of the
good literature now provided for the
young, has happily called this age the
''children's paradise" But we must
remember that vast numbers of chill
dren not only never read this good
literature, but are, on the other hand,
! daily drinking in stories reeking with
filth, and red handed with every spe-
les of crime. That such literature
should exist and flourish is mon
strous offence against good morals.

No man understands The Indian
Question better than Gen. Crook
fights the Italian with more skill, or
pleaGs FOR him with more wisdom or
sagacity. On this account his words

consideration. The following eX-

beg leave to say that in my opinion
there is great need for changes in our

haps as good time to make them as
we will be likely to have for many
years to come. If our intellectual,
moral and social condition is to he
judged by our constitution and our
code of law as compared with those
of other and newer sister States, we
would find the decision largelyagainst
us, while in truth we are fully equal
if not superior to them in those DUAL
tiles which indicate social advance
ment. The difference between us and
our younger sisters is this: They
have prOfited by the experience of
the older States, and have adopted all
the new and improved machinery of
self. government, and are reaping the
benefits of them, while we are content
TO let The old and worn. ont machinery
get on best it can, with little patch

to throw it aside till it is entirely
worn out. There are many things in

system and the board of public works.

The Milwaukee Cowboys.

Milwaukee furnishes the most re-
cent example of the perniciouS effects
of much of the current hoys' litera-
ture. The arrest of four boys, sons of
respectable parents, on numerous
charges of incendiarism, has been the
means of laying bare shocking story
ofyouthful dPpravity and crime. Fas-
cinated by the criminal and Vicious
literature which for many years past
has been teeming from hundreds of
presses, these four boys planned and
organized a miniature cowboy so.

Milwaukee was tia trysting place !;
and under the pretence of reading the
papers there, they met daily to read
the pernicious books and serials which
they brought with them and placed
between the pages of.the papers.
Later they improvised a "pirate
den" out of an old barn, which they
decorated with rusty swords, old
knives and ancient pistols. In this
"den" they were in the habit of meet
ing nightly with large stock of flash
literature. They elected as their cap

sisted In smoking an unlimited num-
Der of cigarettes and chewing brand

oaths were taken, binding the MEM
bers to commit deeds of unheard of
villiany; and an atmosphere ofcrime
soon became natural to these mis-
guided lads, whose average age was
no more than fourteen years.
From the conception of crime 10 its
execution is only a step: The men,
berS soon began to sally forth in
search of plumber. and numerous
thrifty housewives began to bewail
the loss of sundry articles which were
incautiously left exposed. But the
filching of occasional preserve Jars
soon became uninteresting, and some
thing more blo0d-curdling was de-
manded. The limitations of urban
life rendered impossible most of the
diversions of the noble cowboy and
degenerate civilization stood ready
to prevent any too open imitation of
that latest development of manly
proves. But setting fire to buildings
was always an easy possibility. And

Fruits as Food and Medicine.
