a CHARGE OF WILD WARRIORS.
The Alarming Spectacle Recently Witnessed
by English Ladies in Suakin.

ny kngllSh LADIES IN Suakln.
New York Sun
On lovely spring Sunday, just before
the blizzard buried US, some English
ladies in Suakin mounted to the house
tops and witnessed thrilling spectacle.
In the clear atmosphere every movement
was visible on the sandy plain behind
the town, across which Osman Digna's
horsemer, poising their long spears and
with terrific yells, charged furiously,
while the Egyptian troops drawn up in
battle array poured volley after into the
turbaned hosts. Shells from the gun
boats in the harbor hissed over the hea6s
of the ladies and plunged into the mass
of advancing Arabs. The charge was as
desp perate as the furious rushes at Abu
klea, and the tremendous fire that
emptied many a saddle did not daunt
the fanatical courage of the desert war
rioTs. Then the ladies saw on the yellow
sand fierce hapd-to-hand fight, soldiers
who defending themselves pierced with
spears, q waveriDg of the charging line,
finally the slow retreat of the enemy, who
carried theic dead and wounded from the
field as they suilenly retired.
There was not q tree or house to hide
a single detail or to pair the vividness
OF that SUNDAY morning spectacle. 1t
| cost over two hundred lives, and it was
one of those rare occasions when non
combatants are able 10 see, spread out
before them as on stage, the carnage
and all the reeli les of battle
Only one thing could nerve these bar
baric nomads, seldom having in their
hands other weapons than their frail
spears, to face with such reckless daring
the cleaning bayonets and the terrible
artillery and small arms of modern war
| fare. 1t is their sublime, unquestiening
! faith that if they fall in the impetuous
| onslaught upon the hated unbeIievers
| they will enter at once upon the
| felIcities of paradise promised BY the
| prophet.

TnE value of navigabIe rivers as rcgu-
latOrs of commerce and as bulwarks
against oppressive railroad charges, could
not be better illustrated than by the show
ing made in the latest report or Commits
sionoI Switzler of tie Bureau of Statistics.
The Importance of the Mississippi in that
respect is especially shown. The report
indicates that of the 3,O25 ,5O2 square
miles of the United States, the Mississippi
river system embraces ,23S 642, or IL per
cent. of the total. In this area are in
cluded, wholly or in part, Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Dakota, Illinois, Indiana, Indian Ter
ritory, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Mon
tana, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ten
nesee, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin,
eighteen states ana three territories. The
commercial value of the Mississippi and
its navigable tributaries is put at $1,000
100000, the calculation being made by
estimating what it cost the United States
to build lines of railroad Of equal length
aud tonnage with the river and its tribu-
taries. Surely the sum annually appro-
priated by Congreus for repairs to this
great artery of commerce need not be
com planned of.
Western Farmers scheme,
THE Memphis Avalanch says: The
Farmers Trust as the latest grange
movement is called, has never been fully
understood. The average farmer is shy
] of trusts of any kind, and is not likely to
! Jump TO the embrace of this one simply
The plan, as explained by one OF its pro
moters, is to appoint agents to sell the
produce of the members, and local agen, :
to gether and forward the crops to mar
ket, to create bureau of statistics, and
to guard in that way against over pro
| duction. The idea is TO incorporate the
trust with q capital stock of S2O,OOO,OOO,
to be issued in $40 shares. $4,000, 900, of
the stock to be held in reserve, aud TO-
| 100000 10 be sold to actual farmers and
stock raisevs at 50 cents or less or the
dollar. The stock is to be Proportioned
to the respective states and territories
according to thsir farming population
and productive power. and equally dis
trIbuted in counties townships and dig
tricts. The annual production of wheat
corn, oats, rye, fax and barley, in the
Mississippi Valley'is estimated al SO0O,,
100000 bushels. II is safe TO say that
three fifths of this amount is sold in the
public markets, on which the commits
sioners are paid by the producer, amount
ing to about $4,000 600, making a grand
total of commissions paid on live stock
and cereals SlO,OoO,OOo annually. 1t i.
estimated by the promoters of the trust
that under the proposed system the cos
of marketing would not exceed ope-tentt
of that sum. The castle Is raised ever
higher in the air by the calculation, put or
as sort of marsard roof, that the saw
ings iu two years would thus be $4,000,
600, which would be placed to the credi
of the stockholders, aud could be psil
out in dividends or appropriated In tht
purchase of stcckyards aud grain ell
evators, ss,d thus another great savin;
, would be accomplished by reducing stock
yard and elevator charges. 1t looks yer.
pretty on paper.

The oil report for April SHOWS that the
shut down movement has shut down, so
far as the great majority of oil producers
are concerned. Forty nine new wells
were com pleted during the month, with a
total production of only 46l barrels
against IS w9ils completed and 3,701 bar
rels of new production during March. As
the decrease in the production of old wells
was undoubtedly several times the 461
barrels of new production added during
April, thesteady decline in the stocks in
tank, which was inaugurated by the shut
down in November, is still progressing.
This makes the outlook for higher prices
very favorable, and the producers profess
to be very confident that dollar oil will
soon be among the good things for which
they will be called upon TO give thanks.

BURN YOUR NAIL PARINGS.

For the Devil Wants Them to Make Armor Of
A curious Jewish tradition reports that
Adam was entirely clothed in a hard
horny skin, and only lost it and became
subject to evil spirits on losing Paradise,
says writer in the st. Lodis Globe. The
nails are the remnants of this dress; they
are not sacred, and whoever cuts them
off, and throws the cuttings away, does
himself an injury. An old Persian chron
icle says that Eve also possessed this
dress, and the nails were left to remind
them of the loss of Paradise.
The tradition that it is wrong to throw
the nail parings or cuttings away is
ancient and widespread. The old Per-
sian Vendidad asserts that the power of
the wicked Devas is increased when they
| are cast away, and prescribes their burn
ing with certain rites and ceremonies.
Another old work says that they must
not be cut off without a prayer, or else
they become part of the DEVILS armor.
The ancient Edda of the Scar diravians
tells of a great ship, Naglfar, which
will appear at the last day. 1t is
made of dead mems nails, and parings
should not be thrown away, nor should
any one die WITT impaired nails, "for he
building of that vessel, which gods and
men will wish were finished as late as
possible"
1t is still point OF belief in Iceland
that the nails must be cut in three pieces
or the devil will make shipof them. A
legend reports that his satanic majesty,
in order to injure man, obtained permis-
sion to use the cuttings from the mains
when thew wprp left uhOla
The Jewish Talmud of Babylon forbids
the Jews to leave nail parings on the
ground. They should be burned or hid
den away. Another old work says: HE
who burns the parings of the nails is a
piOus man; he who buries them is equally
so; but he who casts them on the ground
is an impiOus man" Many Jews still
carefully burn or bury these cuttings.
These are taken, inclosed between two
small bits of wood, and consumed. The
reason alleged is that the body should
be burned or buried, and that nail par
ings. being left above ground, the soul
of the possessor will wander abroad
after his death. In Norway they are
burned, or else one will have to gather
the pieces on the last day.

THE prudence and conservatism of Mr..
Parnell wsre never more onspicuously
illustrated than by his views regarding
the recent Papal rescript. He believes
that the agrarian movement in Ireland
may be effectively conducted without
conflict with the religious feeling and
ties of the great body of the Irish people.
As Mr.. Parnell is not Catholic, his
broad and patient view of this subject is
all the more remarkable and commend
able
