"The City of the SUM-"

The ruins of Heliopolls, THE City
of the Sum-" which adjoin the present
village of Metarijeh. is about five
miles distant from Cairo. This fam
Gus place is identified as the On of tha
bible. where Joseph took the ds.1ohter
OF the priest Potipherab 20 wife. The
site OF the once Important city is ap-
propriately marked now by the oldest
obeilsk that has yet been discovered,
Win the exception of a small one in
the metropolis of Memphis. The COM
panion to this existing obelisk (for
obelisks are always erected in pairs)
passed away over twelve hundred
years ago. The two were erected four
or five thousand years ago. The re-
manning one is a shaft sixty-six feet
high, of red granite, covered with
hieroglyphics. The metal on the
pyramidium at the top has passed
away, and the successive inundations
OF the Nile have piled a good many
feet OF mud about the monument.

Walking for q Fortune.

John Henzel, son Of a wealthy North
Bergen farmer, quarreled with his
father because he desired to marry q
pretty young lady who had the disad-
vantage of being poor, and went west
to seek wealth four years ago. The
old gentleman relented of his hardness
to the boy after his departure, and
when he died few weeks ago left his
estate. valued at 100000 to the son.
Young Henzel, while in Milwaukee,
saw an advertisement asking for infor-
nation about him, and he decided to
start for the east. He had money
enough to defray his expenses. but he
was robbed in cheap clearinghouse
and left penniless. There was nothing
for him to do but make his way back
afoot. He arrived in Jersey City day
or two ago, footsore and weary. and
has claimed his Inheritance. 1t is said
he will seek out the lady on account of
whom he was forced to leave his
home, and who is said to reside in

The Destruction of Fores,S.

The effect that the disappearance of
forests has upon climate has new IL
lustration every day. In Italy the
clearing of the Apprentices is believed to
have seriously changed the climate of
Po valley, and now the African sirocco,
never known to the armies of ancient
Rome, breathes its hot blighting breath
over the right bank of the river in the
neighborhood of Parma. The same
desolating wind; the same destruction
of the old forests of Vosges and of the
Cevennes has had its like deteriorating
influence upon the climate. In Egypt,
where during the French occupation of
1898 not drop of rain fell for sixteen
months, and where from time immemo-
rial the country has been rainless bed
of sand, Mohammet Ali, by planting
his millions of fig and orange trees, has
seen his country blessed with an annu-
al rainfall of several inches. Brooklyn

Governor Curtin's Friend Buckley.

One of the best old time unpublish-
ed stories on Ex-Governor and Con-
gresham Curtin, of Pennsylvania, oc-
Cured during the war. Governor Cur
tin was designated in convention to
make a speech, and desired to make a
strong, hot and pertinent attack On the
Cameron faction. What bothered him
was how to make the assault the most
positive. Aleck Mcclure, who was in
with Curtin. suggested that the best
plan would be to have some represent
ative man in the audience ask gues-
tion and thus afford an opportunity for
an answer covering the project. Nc
Clure selected we'll known sporting
man and .'rounder" of Philadelphia,
Buckley Neale by name. Buckley"
was very much elated by the honor and
prospective Importance of the position,
and prior to the calling of the conven-
ton attired himself in his best suit of
clothes, bought tall silk hat and To-
Gated himself in the most prominent
portion of the hall. The signal for him
to mako the inquiry was preconcerted; /;
it was when Aleck Mcclure would wipe
his face with his handkerchief. Gov
ernor Curtin commenced his speech,
continued and was frequently warmly
applauded, the audience being enthusi-
astically his friends. Buckley" was
buried in oblivion to all things except
Alex Mcclure. upon whom he had his
eyes fixed rs intently as those of the
Ancient Mariner. At the fitting time
the handkerchief came out and Aleck
mopped his face. Up jumped Buck
ey," and, pointing his finger Burke
like at Curtin, in ringing tones cried
out:
Governor Curtin, may I ask you a
question?'
Certainly, sir" was the gratifying
reply. Certainly, sir; as many as you
like, and"
You blank, blank, blankr howled
dozen voices. "Wacher mean by
trying to break up this meetin'?''
And before "Buckey" could explain,
mob was upon him. He was knock
ed down. the floor swept up with him,
and despite his prayers and protesta-
tions that "Aleck Mcclure told me to
do i" he was slugged, kicked and
fired out of the hall amidst q most tu-
multuous uproar.
Several hours later "Buckey," hat
less, coatless, and covered with blood,
mud and rags, was seen skirmishing
around the Continental hotel 'lookin'
for that sucker of an Aleck MikeLure,
which put up a bloody snide job on
me. - Washington Hatchet

Sometimes accompanied him to an
afternoon concert at St James Hall
or a matinee at the LYceum, and he
was always very kind and attentive;
but never could get over the fact that
he had laughed at my poetry Had he
laughed only at myself l should have
forgiven and forgotten it
One evening he called after having
absented himself for fortnight, and I
was wondering in spite of myself what
could have happened to him. l was
about to call Mrs. Kent to light the
gas, though it was really quite bright
when he stopped me.
Don't ring for lights" he said. in
his lazy way; Il want to talk to you.

you alone. Madeline" somehow
he got possession of both my hands

will let me-"

and vaguely.
you to. Darling, you must have seen
that l love you, and you must you
surely must care for me little in re-
turnr'
Il don't know" l said, more feebly
still; and the golden opportunity for
revenge and retaliation was gone by
forever. l might have been cool and
proud, naughty and defiant, laughed
in his face and told him scorned his
love as he had scorned my poetry; in
stead of which l stood trembling and
flushing in his arms. while he kissed
my face and called me all sorts of pref
ty names; and in spite of myself, l
confess liked it. 1t is humiliating, it
is horrid. but it is true-I did love the
handsome, hateful editor.
Darling" he cried, holding me
from him at arms length, you're
vixen-you're too fond of that vagrant
poet-you detest me cordially, still,
Madeline, l love you, and believe l
have loved you from that day when
your presence made spot of sunshine
in my very shady editorial den. Some
day perhaps you will learn to care a
little about me-"
Six months afterward we were mar
ried at st. Georges Bloomsbury; and,
when jeff came home and heard all
about it, thought he would have gone
out of his mind with Joy. Now l write
what l please for the arlington: and,
though the editor goes over it, he does
not dare to alter syllable, SO that in
that respect have gained my point. l
have conquered my first editor.

Ancient Warfare.
The formation of the battalion for
combat was as follows:

The formation of the battalion fol
combat was as follows:
The one hundred captains formed
the front rank of the battalion. and
each captain had his one hundred men
In HE behind him, corporal at the
head of each nine men. The chief OF
each thousand men was in front of the
center of his two companies, while the
colonel commanding the grand battal-
ion was in front of the center.
The leaders were not mounted on
horseback, but were mounted in two
wheeled chariots, drawn, usually, by
two horses. In the chariots were car
ried supply of javelins and arrows
for the use of the chief, who usually
had in the chariot with him a soldier,
who held buckler to cover him from
the arrows of the enemy, while he dealt
about him with his bows and spears.
In the early days and down to the
time of Sesostris. the officers and nom
commissioned officers carried bucklers
and swords, while the private soldiers
OF infantry carried each a buckler and
a battle-ax. Sometimes the battle-ax
was accompanied by, and sometimes
replaced by, a spear.
1t is easy to see that Moses drew
from the military organization of Egypt
that which he adopted for the Israel
ties, and later on the Greeks their
formations. Both these nations took
their first lessons in civilization and
organization from Egypt
In the earliest monuments and rec
ords of the Egyptian army there is no
sign OF the existence OF the horse as s
military animal, while in the monu-
ments of the eighteenth dynasty the
war-horse is everywhere indicated. 1t
is probable that the war-horse was first
introduced by the shepherd kings, who
came in from Syria about 400 years
ago. 1t is certain that the horse formed
an important agent in the military es-
tablishment of Egypt, under the lie giti-
mate kings of the country, LOO years
before the Christian era, and the lack
of monuments erected during the five
hundred years of struggle betwaen
the shepherd kings and the T"nebsns
