THE "BILLI THE KID" TYPE.

-. H. w. II. " i'm Boston Herald.
Let me assure my younger readers
that there is nothing heroic in the
BILLY the Kid type on the frontier.
The desperate is too lazy to work for a
living. He is thief and cut-throat
whenever he can cut throat without
fear. There are some brave men among
them, to he sure, but their bravery
arises from a consciousness of their
matchlcss command of their weapons.
They know perfectly well that they can
shoot an ordinary man dead before his
hand reaches his pistol. Often they
have the triggers of their Colts As fled
off. and fire by swapping the hammer
with the thumb. whirling the pistols in
their hands and shooting as the weapon
comes to level. And they are dead
shots, as they need to be. Yet the dad
men" who haunt the groggeries with
their weapons ostentatiously displayed,
who are given to shooting right and
left when drunk. and, indeed, to dis
charging their gums" at all times
these fellows will rarely take the
chances in fair, stand-up fight. They
wait until they can get the drop" ON a
man. or shoot him from behind on a
dark night. Don't look for any signs
Of chivalry among them. Theytare the
meanest of all mean brutes. It is we'll
that the changes wrought in the west
by the completion of the various rail
roads announce that their race is nearly
run. But this is an unpleasant sub
ject. ! have known SO much of this
sort of thing, however, that could not
forbear a word to offset the curious be-
lief among some young people in the
east that the western dad man" is a
more noble figure than the Boston
burglar or wife beater. He isn't.

Egypt's Gigantic Task.
Pail Mall GiaZ tie

There is something unspeakably gro
tesque in the attempt made by tho
pigmy state at the mouth of tho Nile to
establish a gigantic empire in the heart
of central Africa. The restored govern
ment of the khedive is about the weak
est power in existence. Yet it is bent
upon attempting task from which
England herself would rccoil.
The Soudan, it should never be for
gotten, is as large as India. 1t stretches
l,600 miles in one direction and 300 in
another. Unlike India, it is lnaccessi-
BILE by the sea. 1t is inhabited by war
like tribes of the same faith; it has
neither railways, canals, nor navigable
rivers, excepting the Nile ut some
periods of the year; and its only roads
are camel tracks. From first to last it
has never paid its expenses. The at
tempt to hold it has cost $4,000 lives at
least, and the net result is that we are
waiting anxiously to know whether or
not Col. Hicks has shared the fate that
has already overtaken Capt. Moncr;eff.
To re-establish the authority of the
Egyptian government if Egypt were cut
off by ring fence from the rest of the
world would be difficult enough, but
what chance is there of success when
the dwarf at Cairo insists on carrying
on his shoulders the burden of foreign
empire?

He was kicked by colored majors

which was about half an inch

men appeared he was beside himself
with enthusiasm. His wet clothes were
rs tight on him as his own skin. He
jumped down from his perch and ran
into the street. He caught hold of the
rear part of Big Six fire elgine, just
behird the tiger, and marched, thrilled
with happiness at touching the engine
with his hands, all the way to the Bat

We visited o college fer young boys.
The class-rooms were small, without
windows, and lighted from the
entrance door only. Little benches a
foot high were used for desks, the
scholars and teachers sitting on the
floor. They all studied aloud. Each
scholar in reciting took his seat directly
in front of the teacher, and within easy
reach of his rod. both continually sway
ing their bodies back and forth. Most
of the professors were quite young men,
with very intelligent faces. French is
considered very essential in the educa-
ton of boys. The poor girls are not
educated at all, very few being able to
read. We only heard Of three who had
this accomplishment, and these were the
daughters of the secretary of the hey.
The women spend their time in making
their clothes, dressing and sleeping.
