De Lesseps on the Soudan.
N an Interview in the Paris Matin

From an Interview in the Paris Natin
I have repeatedly warned the Eng
lish that to send an. expedition to the
Soudan was TO send soldiers to certain
death. As for ancient Nubia or Ethiopia
it is a country in which, as if in q sea,
whole armies of conquerors have been
engulplled. Cambyses left 100000 men
on the deserts, and he was only too glad
to return home with q handful of follow
CTS. The son of Mehen1et Ali was burn
ed in his camp with his army. To at
tempt to conquer the Soudan by force
is dream. 1t is quite possible to give
laws to and to govern tl1ese intelligent,
heroically brave races. Iniorder to reach
Khartou1n, whatever the route taken,
one must cross deserts in which there
is absolutely no water An army wheth-
er going or returning viii always be an
easy prey to the warlike population of
Nubia. These can turn OIL the enemy
100000 fighting men for whom death is
only a secondary considerations and who
would be scofFed at by the women if
they returned to their villages without
having avenged the deaths of their COM
panions. The longer the struggle is
continued against the Soudan the more
difficult will be the effect,ng of settle
ment. Two years ago it would have
been easy.to negotiate now it is difficult,
the luminosity Of these fanatical soldiers
having been reused. :.t,..

An Undress Suit,

A singular suit--a kind OF undress
suit, as it were--has been brought
against one of the managers of Phila-
delphia masquerade ball by young Ia
dy who feels herself much aggrieved.
On account Of her low stage Of dress in
the region Of her neck and shoulders he
refused to allow her to go on the floor
with her escort, and by noise and vio-
lence called public attention to her, and
to the alleged defects in her toilette
to wit, "that she had not enough clothes
on" He also injured her feelings and
her shoulders by thrusting her off and
calling policeman. Her defense is
that her dress, or lack of it, did not
fairly come under the ban which he
placed upon it--but she rather gives
away her case by saying that it was "cut
after the style Of the court of London"
Had she also admitted that it was no
worse than the dresses at fashionable
parties in Washington this winter, her
suit--that is her. suit against the mana
ger-would have been hopeless. Her
lawyer was too shrewea for that.

Potato Improvement.

Director Sturtevant, in bulletin 100
of the State Station at Geneva, reports
i'll detail results of an experiment which
so far as one test can prove, shows that
better potato crops may follow the use
for seed of tubers from only the more
productive hills, as possessing the m ost
inherent vigor:
"The smallest tubers from the most
productive hills yielded more crop than
the largest tubers from the least produc-
tive hills. These tables seem to Indicate
very clearly that in order to increase q
yield Of potatoes, it is only necessary in
digging to expose the hills separately,
and then go through and select seed
from those hills which show the most
abundant crop. The experiment also
seems to indicate that detioration,
whereby a good variety tends to become
less and less profitable to grow arises
from an entire lack Of selection from the
point Of view of the prolific plant, and
that to obviate this detioration ii may
only be necessary to select yearly our
seed from the more prolific hills, IN
stead of haphazard from the harvested

Ex ample of Ohio Farming.

An Ohio correspondent of the West
ern Rural, who says he owes his success
largely. to practical hints read from
time to time in agricultural literature"
probably manages to make as much
from his 100 acres as some farmers Of
times as large a surface to the neglect
of the minor but hardly less important
details:
81 have fenced in four equal tracts
nearly as possible. For convenience,
at the corner where they all join, I have
a good WELL arranged to furnish stock
water for each field. / manage to keep
fifty acres in cultivation, fifty in clover,
each year, as follows: Twenty-Five
acres in corn, twenty five in wheat.
When the corn is cut off ] seed this field
to wheat, then back to clover in two
years; and I find this is as long as clo-
YER should stand to be profitable.
II raise stock enough to eat up all the
surplus corn, hay, etc. I stack the
straw, and feed around the stack. To-
ward spring I throw it down, so the
stock can tramp it. In this condition it
rots much faster, and is ready to haul
out sooner. This manure I spread on
the poorest places, when I have leisure
and it is good hauling. BY doing this,
I keep nearly everything on the farm,
except the surplus wheat, which I mar
ket as soon as threshed, while it is in the
sacks. This saves large per cent on
shrinkage, besides extra handling, and
you have the use of your money
By this system he keeps the soil Of
which he is steward in high state of
cultivation without use OF commercial
fertilizer it takes no longer to till such
land than that d epleted by imnrovidence;
he has tho satisfaction Of seeing crops
always in thriving condition, and the
substantial reward of a profitable har-
vest.

Durham and Shorthorns are syno-
nymes--two names meaning the same
thing. These cattle originally were
more cultivated in the county Of Dur
ham than in any other of England. AS
the breed spread to adjoining counties,
and had very short horns, they were
gradually given this name in order to
distinguish them from another celebra-
ted breed called Longhorns, Or Lam
cashire cattle. The unimproved Short
horns, that is, such as are not admitted
to be recorded in the herdbook, are still
called Durham by many, or Yorkshire.
AS the latter is much larger county
than the former, and adjoining it, many
more of this breed are to be found there.

Budding Instinct.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

II is curious to see how girl children
all cling to dolls. I was at a Christmas
tree on Wednesday evening. The
child, a girl 8 years old, had dozen or
fifteen little presents. She had nothing
to say: she looked kind Of helplessly
around as il the rapid rush Of heauti-
full things dazed her. She took each
new one and grasped it closely for q
minute, but laid it aside carelessly as
the next came About the third ching
she got, however, was doll, female
doll, with bright eyes, a profusion of
blonde hair, blue silk dress and pair
of blue stockings. That she never
released for rings, or pictures, or any
thing. And she went to bed with the
doll in ner arms. It was the only
thing, her mother said, she seemed to
remember next morning, for she came
across her in the nursery with the doll
entirely stripped OF the dress, which
she had carefully put into BASIN to be
washed, and on Christmas night she
was combing the dolls hair, explaining
that she could not put on the dress un-
til it had dried. I suppose it was the
budding Of that woman's instinct which
makes all women so much dearer to the
world than men.

elsethat well meant words Of counsel
seem grotesque mockery when issued
from such lips. I heard the other day
of one Of these self satisfied mothers OF
2 very disagreeable family grayely lay
ing down the law about governing
children. Her didactic remarks were
sadly ludicrous, in view of the we'll
known facts, and her serene uncon-
seriousness of self-accusations were sub
lime. This very woman had petsed and
coddled her children until selfishness
and love of personal ease had become
the predominating traits in their dis
positions. ~

Doing up Curtains,

I have just given a set of white lace
curtains light coffee tint, which is now
so fashionable. The curtains were
soiled, so I washed them with "Iyory"
soap, rinsed them, then put them
through rinse water prepared as fol-
lows: A small quantity of yellow ochre
powder was mixed with a little water
and strained through thin muslin bag.
This dye was added to the rinse water
until the desired shade was obtained.
The curtains must not be wrung from
this, but be simply pressed with the
hands and either hung up to dry or
pinned to the carpet on sheets.

limit of the Functions Of Govern
meut.

We have, however, with our present
idea of the functions Of government,
just the two evils to choose between
the Scylla Of the spoils system and the
Charybdis of bureaucracy. OF course
we may try to combine the two, so as
to have some experience Of the evils Of
both; but the probability is, that sooner
or later one or other will decisively
carry the day.
Now, Mr.. Spencer says: The whole
trouble arises from your having so
many Offices to dispose Of, and that
comes of your having crowded so many
functions upon tho Government. You
have brought on condition of things
dangerous to the peace and stability
Of the state. Had you left to private
initiative aud responsibility a very
large part Of what you now place on
the shoulders Of the Government, the
office-seeking nuisance could never
have grown to it's present dimensions,
nor could bureaucracy ever have been

can pay enormous rents for fine houses,
or buy lots and build palaces for them
