Real Dangers in Egypt.

| Speech of Colonel BurnaLy, at Bradford. England
| There is no immediate danger to Egypt on ac-
| count Of the Dlahdis success. 1t would be i'm
| possible for him to the KOrosko desert with
| regular troops, if he has any which very much
doubt. To cross the KOrosko desert is march
| of two hundred miles, with only one well of
brackish water. The road is lined with skeletons
| OF cames that have persisted in the journey. To
reach Cairo the Mahdi must march along the
| banks of the Nile, and twelve months under
favorable circumstances, that is, with no resist
ance, would elapse before he could arrive at his
goal.
Tho danger does not consist in the Mahdi's
forces it consists in the Pan-Islamic movement,
in the feeling of the Egyptians, of the Moham-
medan world, OF men ground down by European
usurers i'll Egypt, ground down by taxes on salt
in Hindostan and who catch at the False
Prophet even as a drowning man catches at "a
straw. Each day this movement is growing
throughouh the East. We have vast number
of Mohammedans and idolaters beneath our rule
in India They have seen lis unfriendly to the
Sultan; they have seen us strange in Egypt the
| aspirations of the national, party; they know
that the Sultan is powerless they look upon the
Ilbert bill and the Bengal tenancy bill as signs
of the weakness of our government. With an
other they will regard the Mahdi as a
deliverer. He has already allied himself with
the slave-dealers.
1t is our duty to put down that traffic, and
until he is effectually suppressed there will be
no lasting peace throughout our Eastern domin-
| ions former British officer is now on the
march to strike Il bOw-one in which we are
deeply nterested-against the False Prophet.
Gen. Baker, who was hardly treated in England,
has sought employment beneath the Khedive.
Only lei him be supported by British influence
and money, and danger, which, although not
imminent is one that must be faced, win be
averted from Cairo and from the whole of our
oriental possessions. With Gen. Baker acting
on flank of the Mahdi's line of march with
negro troops-for European Indian would be
i useless in that country-and diversion which
might be easily made by some Abyssnan forces
against Khartoum in exchange for IA seaport for
themselves the False Prophet would soon find
himself in an exceedingly uncomfortable posi-

THE HOUSEHOLD.

A great deal of poor food, especially cakes and
other recipe preparations, is due to inaceuracy
in measuring "A pinch of salt or pepper. OF
other condimcnt, may mean four times as much
in one hand as i'll another quite enough to en-
tirely change the quality and flavor. Teaspoons,
teacups and coffeecups now vary greatly. The
old standard teacup held just half a pint OF four
to the quart, and the cofeecup three-quarters of
a pint, or two and twothird cups to Il quart; but,
on testing several cups in use we find that
Of one pattern of teaeups three fill quart; of
anotherit takes five and of another six, while of
cofeecups, two of one set fill quart, and Of an
other it takes nearly four.
1t would be n simple matter and great con
venience for any housekeeper to keep always at
hand accurate measuring cups of earthenware or
tin. Let teacupfu or a tumbler full always
mean exactly half pint and keep cup Of that
size Or use a small tin cup-one with "a side

Spoon measuring is more important especially
in giving medicines. The top is 50 broad, and it
is so difficult to know when Il spoon is evenly
full, that ''teaspoonful dose Of any medicine,
or of Il tlavoring extract in cooking may be
double what is prescribed. The standard tea
spoon, evenly full holds one eighth of a

tho number Of bushels they get per
acre. 1t Is supposed by many that whether we
have a good wheat season or Il bad one depends
more ON the quantity of grain get at various
seasons, or of the condition of the ground or Of
the plants at the time the rain falls. If it goes
away through the ground rapidly it is good for
the plant, though in large quantities; but if it
lies long it is an injury. Thus, if piece Of land
is rather fiat and the ground is frozen deep and
stays frozen after the upper has thawed, and
rain or melted snow is let in, the frozen bottom
keeps the water from passing away, and so in
jury results to the roots On sloping ground the
water passes out on the lower position, and in
these cases not so much injury results There
are, no doubt, many causes which conspire TO in
jure crops; but this overdose Of water is very
likely to be one of them. and it will be wise for
all those who are interested in wheat culture to
take every precautiou TO carry off water which
may fall on the land. Open bitches or plow fur
rows, as many do they are very useful TO this
end. Attend to this carefully, and it will be
found that wheat cnlture in Pennsylvania will
be as productive as it ever was, and will con-
tnue to be so.
