High Life In England.

The Earl of Euston, the future Duke
of Grafton, is about to begin the much
talked of suit for divorce from his wife,
on the plea that the lady's first husband
was living at the time of her second mar
riage. The Countess will submit in de-
fence that when she married her first
husband shc supposed him a widower,
but he proved to have another wife, and
when she learned this she abandoned
him. The case promises to be exceed
ingly interesting.
Thirteen years ago Henry Fitzroy,
eldest son Of Lord Augustus Fitzroy,
fell in love with q woman known as
"Kate Cook" She was handsome and
stylish in person, and her matured
charms We're quite sufficient to captivate
the youth of twenty-three. Unknown
to his father, who was Equerry to the
Queen, he married her. Most chronicles
of the peerage ignored the marriage.
Others described the bride as the daugh-
ter of John Walsh and the widow of
"Mr. Smith," In 1882 the b~ridegroom's
social position changed. Lord Augustus
Fitzroy succeeded his brother as seventh
Duke of Grafton. Henry Fitzroy be.
came Earl of Euston. The widow Of
"Mr. Smith became Countess eEuston
and the future Duchess of Grafton. But
troubles had already come between her
and her husband. They separated by
mutual agreement. No fault being
proved against the Countess since he,
marriage, the Earl in vain sought an ex
use for divorce. The mysterious "Mr,
Smith has now appeared and the ex
cuse is found.

Good Morning..

Don't forget to say good morning /
Say it toyour parents, your brothers and
your sisters, your schoolmates, your
teacher-and say it cheerfully and with
n smile; it will do your friend good.
There's a kind of inspiration in every.
good morning heartily and smilingly
spoken, that helps to make hope fresher
and work lighter. 1t seems really to
make the morning good, and to be Il
prophecy Of a good day to come after it.
And II this be true Of the good morn
ing" it is alsoj true of all kind, heart
some greetings. They cheer the dis.
couraged, rest the tired one, and some
how make the wheels Of life run smooth
~. Let no morning pass that you do
not help to brighten BY your smiles and
cheerful words.

"That Lass o IOwric's."

The Pocahontas mine disaster revealed
a situation which reminds one Of Mrs.
Burnett's novel. The story Is told as
follows
"About snndown a hardy lass. with a
tall and fine physique, sprang upon a
stump and exclaimed: i have a father
in that mine, boys. He Is dead, ard l
know it, but / loved him and | want to
bury his body decently. / will marry any
man in this crowd who will lead 2 party
into the mine, This singular appeal
met with no response, although the
girl. whose name is Mollic MerrIs, is the
object Of admiration among the young
men,
/, would be little becoming to qucs-
ton the courage Of men situated under
such circumstances, or to weigh the IL
fuence Of such q motive for a daring act
az " Is offered by MolIie Mcrrls. There
is oac thing to be said for her, though:
she offered all she had to give. To her
Glial devotion the recovery OF her dead
fathers remains demanded from her that
CDlUiIctt SC.A-ob4CEdtlCA An D c10AA-
fed by such an offer. She seems to
have been a girl above the common Or
der of miners wives and daughters, and
the Offering Of herself, her life and her
~hopes-for competition, would appear q
foolhardy thing, but for one fact. View
ing the question from the standpoint Of
Darvin's theory Of "the survival of the
fttest' the man who would elect to risk
his life in the dangerous pursuit to
which she invited him, would be pre-
ciscly that one of those present who
would probably best deserve and be
most worthy of her. For he must needs
appreciate the. nobility Of the girls self
sacrifice, and her worthy respect for her
dead fathers memory-s we'll as be in
possession Of the merely physical cour-
! age required. None such appeared, and
t is evident the standard Of heroism,
moral or physical, in that locality, was
not equal to Mollie Merris's demand.
This fact does not detract, however,
from the dramatic value of the situation.

It may be remembered that a good
deal OF prominence was given last fall
in the papers to the occurrence Of
diphtheria in n family in Amsterdam, N.
y. Two children died ut intervals of
several months, and a third was taken
sick. The Board of Health appointed q
committee to investigate, which cx.
amined the house and its surroundings
and obtained Il statement from the. at
tending physician. They have recently
made their report, finding that there
were no bad conditions existing in or
ahout the house sufficient to explain the
appearance Of the disease, and they con-
clude that 1t came from n cat which was
fndlcd by the child which first fell i'll.
This cat was found at the time to have
n swollen throat and to bc suffering from
n discharge from mouth and nostrils.
1t died n few days afterward. Three
days after the death Of the cat the child
fell sick with malignant diphtherin and
died i'll about a week. During its illness
il played with n doll, which was after
ward given to a younger child, as it was
supposed to have been properly fumi-
gated with sulphur fumes. This child,
shortly after being allowed to play with
the doll, also fell ill Of d%iphtheria, and
died. The third child also played with
the doll and fell i'll, but recovered. The
Board OF Health. therefore, traces the
temperance Of the disease in the family,

THE EGYPTIAN 4
The Rebel L.eader-The Egyptian Belief
- tho Dahdl.

The London Times correspondent ct
Suakim says: Osman Digna's whole
relation TO the revolt and the amalgama
ton in him OF religious, political and
mercantile aspirations are hard to com.
prehend. A broker and trader, and
principally a slave trader in Suaklm and
Jcddah, he received a severe financial
blow when, some six years ago, a British
cruiser captured two slave dhows full OF
victims on the way to yeddah. Osman
Digna's trade then fell from bad to
worse, his house property in Suakim
was all m~ortgagcd, and he became hope
lessly involved. Being Of no great dis
tinction by birth, his selection by the
Mahdi to lead a religious rebellion in
these parts is not in accordance with
the structure Of Arab society and feel
ing, and is attributed to the accident
that Osman Digna, in one Of his incur
sions far south for slaves, met the
Mahdi, who formed a high estimate Of
his ability and Of his influence, acquired
through successful trading. II this his
tory be trustworthy, passions for other
objects than holiness are the keynote OF
Osman Digna's character and motives,
and it Is against all probability that he
will cast his goods and his position into
the broken balance Of battle. He is no
iguorant fanatic and he cannot himself
believe the myths which he mnltipllcs in
order to control his followers. Still, all
say that how'll fight.
A young prisoner taken on the day
after FL Teb was examined recently at
Suakim. He is, the London Standards
correspondent says, better acquainted
with affairs than most OF the prisoners,
ns his sister is married to the Sheik
Taher, Osman Digna's principal sup
porter. He was one Of the reinforce
ment sent to Teb by Osman. He said
that when he left the camp Osman's fol-
lowers were ready to fight the English,
evcn if they came in numbers like the
sand OF the seashore, SO confident were
they OF victory. In reply to a question
by the Sheik Moghrani, the lad said that
the people believed SO thoroughly in
the Mahdi that they would sooner fight
to the death now than admit their error,
IS they could never submit to the taunts
that they would meet with from the
other Moslom tribes. The balance Of
all the evidence was strongly in favor OF
the theory that Osman Digna will risk
many battles before acknowledging de-
feat. According to the Suakim CORE
spondcnt Of the London Daily Meas,
Osman Digna, in his dispatch to Mogh-
rani, writes that the latter, if he were
loyal and wise, should rather endeavor
to convert his English friends to the
Mohammedan faith; that he and bis fol-
lowers hope to drink the blood of the
Egyptians and their aiders and abettors.
and that the present, being n time OF
great depression in religious faith
throughout Islam, is the very time in
which the Mahdi is destined to appear
