A rumor has reached Cairo that General
Gordon has escaped from Khartoum and Is
on his way up the Nile. The rumOr lacks
confirmation. The fall Of DarfOur is con-
firmed. The, principal importance attached
to the event is that IL gives 10000 Remlng-
ton rifles to the enemy.
The London Times, referring TO the visit
of the Czarina to Berlin and Ter warm re-

that of Damon and Pythias., Geamrnys
position may be considered as impregnable.
The world knows it, and Germany fears no

Not weighing So Much.

"You are looking remarkably well, Mr..
Litewait," said Crimsonbeak to the young
man who he used to see behind the coun-
ter in the village grocery before his ac-
count rendered it imperative for him to
change his provision man.
''Do you think so 2" replied the young
man with bland smile, "Im not weigh
ing as much as l was"
'Why, really" came from Crimson
beak, in surprise; "You are looking
heavier"
81 am heavier" replied the puzzle.
"You're heavier, but you don't weigh
so muchm exclaimed the astonished
man "Have you gone crazy, Lite
waitp
"No; not exactly, Mr.. Crimsonbeak; !;
but I've gone to work in a carpet
store where we don't have any of that to
do"
"Any of what to doG" shouted the
beacon light.
"Weighing"
"Oh" was all that Crimsonbeak re-
marked as he went out to look for deep
well.-StateSman.

uRothered the Doctor.

DIR. McCosh is celebrated for his ego
tism, and the best of it is he is never
conscious of it.
He has broad Scotch accent, and the
habit of gnawing at the joint of his
thumb when busily thinking.
Some years ago he was lecturing before
the senior class in Princeton college. He
had been discussing Leibnitz's view of
the reason of evil. to the effect that man
kind was put upon the earth because
there was less evil here than elsewhere.
One of the seniors inquired, ''Well,
doctor why was evil introduced into the
world2"
"Ah" said the DOCTOR holdingup both
hands, 'ye have asked the hardest ques
tion in all feelosephy. Suckkrates tried
to answer it and failed; Plato tried it.
and failed; Kahnt attempted it and
made bad work of it; Leibnitz tried it,
and he begged the whole question as I've
been tellin'ye and confess" (gnawing
at his thumb knuckle) 81 confess l don't
know-what-to make of it myself. -

Olives in Greece.

Our host took us to inspect an olive-oil
factory, of which there are several in
Pyrghi, so that the stream which waters
the village is brown with olive Juice,
like water tinged by peat in an Irish bog.
Here they use no machinery or modern
appliances in pressing the oil; merely
the old primitive wooden press. Women,
or sometimes mules, walk round and
round revolving wheel which crushe.
the olives; in this condition they put
them into sacks, and then into that
"black-faced heifer which devours oak
wood, - as the Chiotes in their figurative
way are wont to describe their ovens.
The sacks are then placed one over the
other in the press, and two men turn a
post, which pulls a rope, which drags a
stick, which tightens the press, and the
oil oOzes into the receptacle prepared for
it, with water inside. The oil and water
of course do not amalgamate, the dregs
sink to the bottom, and the pure oil
flows into jars prepared for it.
1t is impossible to realize the affection
people have for olives in a purely olive
growing country. "An olive with a
kernal gives a boot to a man, is true
adage with them. 1t is he principal
fattening and sustaining food in a coun-
try where hardly any meat is eaten. 1t
takes the place of the potato in ireland,
and on the olive crop depends the welfare
of many An olive yard is presented to
the church by way of glebe, and the
pesants collect on stated day to gather
these sacred olives, which they buy from
the church, and always at the highest
u.arket value. .-Bazar.
