No More Than Grist,

When the Trustees of Delaware
College in 1867 offered the present
building 30 the Legislature for the
purpose of enabling the State to
avail itselfof the Congressional Land
Grant, four years had then passed
and no movement whatever had
been made to take advantage of
that grant. The necessary buildings
and grounds would have cost the
State at least $4,000 Many of the
other States spent much large sums
than $4,000 to found their colleges,
and have since contributed very lib
orally to keep them and make them
useful. IN addition IL the gift Of
the buildings. grounds, library and
apparatus the Trustees spent over
$1,000 in putting the building III
order, so that the State has never
been called upon for cent on this
account. Therefore, we think our
Legislature can very well afford ut

Land Of the Khedlve.

The natives are very industrious,
and on either side of the river bank
for mile back have cultivated every
inch Of the soil and planted their crops
down to the very edge of the water,
so as to have the benefit of the annual
foundations. The sight is indeed a
beautiful one. Sloping backward as
far as the rocky heights are beautiful
fields of.grain, dotted here and there
with the rude hpts of the owners Of
the land. There is no regular harvest
season, so far as know, but crops are
cut at all times of the year. The
principal cropis Egyptian corn, which
is made to answer almost every pur-
pose These people cling to the print
time harvest tools used by the first in
habitants of the country. Instead of
reapors and mowers the diminutive
sickle is used. and the manner in
which they use 1t created mech merri-
ment among the voyageurs. wit
messed a couple Of women grinding
wheat with the same old hand mill
mentioned in the scriptures. They
squatted tailor fashion on the ground
on either side of the mill stones, and
dropping the wheat in the cavity in
the center Of the wheel, turned It
slowly, accompanying the proceeding
with peculiar motion of the body and
at the same time humming a weird
tune. The sight was an unusual one
to me who had spent most of my life in
the Michigan woods. but had no de-
sire to remain there any length OF
time. The natives are very similar to
our negroes, except that they have the
prominent cheek bones of the Indian
and not the fat features of the descend.
ants of Ham. Ihave in my time seen
slovenly people. but the natives Of
Egypt are, in my opinion, the dirtiest
people in the world, Digger Indians
not excepted. To look at them is as
good as a dose of medicine. Their
only article of wearing apparel consists
of . garment shaped like Mother
Hrbbard dress. Males and females
dress alike. and the only way to listin.
guish them is that the women are al.
ways engaged in the hardest kind Of
work, while their liege lords do the

as q means to that end he proposed

tive range indefinitely extended. The
term eair t1rpedoes." did not quite de-
scribe his system. and he had used
rather the term s'air battery" to de-
scribe the force he proposed should be
used in aerial warfare He suggested
that by the means Of aerostats explo-
sions Of 100 pound shells of gun cot
ton might be arranged over the enemy's
position. Summarizing his proposals,
the lecturer said: I'm brief, l propose
to you a warfare by gun cotton and
hydrogen, to makethe loss of an army
a result Of its meeting an opposing
wind. to destroy the security of forth
fled positions, and finally to show,upon
the simplest principles of self-preser-
walton. that nations must keep peace
and great armies be disbanded.''

Many men who drink regularly

says the editor, 'that alcohol, like
bromide, may remain in the system
to some extent without producing any
marked action, and then suddenly,
from some unknown cause. burst into

not seem to be definitely understood,
though they are thought to be of a
combined physiological and psyche

"Why Not Eat InsectsP" is the title
of recent English book. The writer
thinks that such diet would have
certain advantages for poor people,
and he insists that an "appetlzing rel
ish" is TO be found in ''boiled caterpil-
lars, fried grasshoppers and grilled
cock-chafers." His argument rests
mainly on the descriptions Of half
starved travellers concerning their
personal enjoyment of cooked insects,
and the fact thatcertain savages thrive
on such diet.
