Effects of the Suez Canal.

Some years ago it was proposed to ex,
pedite the opening up Of the interior OF
Africa by letting in the waters Of the ocean
to the Great Sahara, which would thus
become an immense inland lake, to the
shores of which ready access could be
gained by ships. One of the obJectlonss
raised to the scheme was that it would
seriously affect the climate not only OF the
adjacent countries, but of the whole OF
Europe, which would be turned into an II,
Arctic region. It is interesting to recsll
this circumstance in view of one OF the
unforeseen consequences of the opening OF
the Suez canal which is now reported.
The climate of lower Egypt has been
markedly modified, and rain, which was
previously almost unknown there, has be-
come relatively frequent. Another slngu-
lar result is not so satisfactory; the sharks
of the Indian ocean have found their wa!
through the canal into the eastern part OF
the Mediterranean and the Adriatic, and
sea bathing at the ports of Fiume and
Pola is rendered impracticabic.

pig is so self-assertive, so strong, or so
hairy as he. We have seen one of them,
while driving along by the side of his
master, insist on alighting where he

could induce him to alter his mind, and
it was not till he had tripped up the pony

what ingenuity the beasts were ever in

we remember that King Alexander's

The Oneida Community.

The famous Oneida Community, estab-
Gshed in 1884 by John Humphrey Noyes
at Oneida, N. Y, has been in litigation
for some time, and a motion forlts disso-
luton was made recently before Recorder
Waters, of St. Charles, N. Y. The mo-
ton has been brought by Charles A.
Burt, one of the members of the COM
munity. In his complaint he sets forth
that in 1884 the plan of the community
was changed, and that iron an assocla-
ton in which each member had et. lal
share and lived together under one roof,
it has become, under the new manage
ment, cooperation in which member
ship is simply represented by a certain
number of shares of stock. This trans
formation, Mr.. Burt argues, is contrary
to the intention of the founder, John
Humphrey Noyes, and as a consequence
of the departure from the old method OF
living this stock has passed into the
hands of trust and the interest of indl-
vidual members has been gobbled up by
certain capitalists. He, therefore, asks
for an accounting, receivershlp and q
dissolution of the corporation. This
singular community has been in existence
since 1884. John Humphrey Noyes, the
founder, was ordained to the ministry
after collegiate course at Dartmouth
College. In 1888 he founded a sect
called the Perfectionists and drew up the
first plan of the society which afterward
became the Oneida Community. He and
his followers claimed to possess a peculiar
phase of religious experience, having tor
its basis spiritual intercourse with God,
which Noycs taught may proceed so far,
even in this life, as to destroy all selfish
ness and so make an end of SIN. Two
communities were founded, one at Oneida
and the other at Wallingport, Conn. A
home was established at Oneida, the
members engaged in agricultural pur-
suits and manufactures. In 1884 the
community owned property to the value
of over 100000. The practice OF free
love has been abolished and married
couples now form part of the society. 1t
was in this community that Guiteau, the
assassin of Garfield, and his father lived
for a time.-Neao Orleans 1snaes' Democrat.

One of the most curious practices OF
the natives is their method Of disposins
of the dead. The bodies of the dc.
parted are crcmated and deposited in log
houses, which are surmounted by some
carved object in wood, which is sup
posed to guard the ashes of the deceased
whose bones lie beneath. One might
mistake the creature to be On alligator,
but it is howling wolf singing his re.
QUEEN over the charred remains of some
departed chieftain. Its companion lying
on the ground by its side is a wooden
whale, whose sepulchre has collapsed
under it. These figures are the totem'
of the families whose bones repose in the
houses beneath. Cremation has been
generally abandoned since the arrival oi
the missionaries. Totems OF a different
type are represented in another view.

These poles are very tall, and are elabo'
rately carved with stone hatchets, and
are considered great works of art by the
natives. The carvings are emblematio
of important events in the history of tho
chief, in whose honor the totem has beer
raised. Each family or subdivision of q
tribe has its own totem, and these monu.
nents serve to distinguish between
families much as armorial bearings did
in the middle ages. Each child belongs
to the tribe and family of its mother, as
the father is not considered in the light

memoirs. He has an immense fund OF
anecdote, however, which is at the SER

at Barcs. The children of the town have
heard from him every week for many
years the stories of the famous charges,i
retreats, seiges and campaigns in whichi
he has participated. The great event Of
his life, he thinks, was his attendance of,
the funeral of his dead Queen, Maria:
Theresa, 1O9 years ago. Although but!
twelve years old then, he has treasured,
up for more than century every detail!
of the procession and burial.
Macy Ference is pcnniless, but he u.s.
not a beggar nor a public charge. Al
score or more of families in Barcs arei
ready to give him food, clothing and;
shelter. He takes all his meals with
seven families, whom he has known for!
fifty years. Each one entertains him onel
day in the week. Between meals heI
walks from house to house, chatting with
all men and children whom he meets.i
He rarely talks with women, for he has

and very few realize how the waters OF
Alaska abound in salmon. They are
much more numerous than they are in
the prolific waters of California, Oregon
and Washington Territory. Thousands
have been taken, so we are informed in a
recent Government report, by single
haul of the seine.
The salmon fisheries have increased
very rapidly. In 1887 eighteen vessels
were engaged in the traffic and 100, 900
cases of salmon were exported. In 1883
the number of vessels had increased to
twenty-eight and between 100000 and
$50, 900 cases were exported.

savage. The Indian school is well at

The Greek church is the most foreign

CHAPTER Y.
A MAD PASSION,

aAdele! Listen to mel I must
speak! For the love Of pity, give me
little hope to cling to; hope for the
futusel I cannot live without you,
Adele! And you have led me on with
your sweet smiles and tender words
until my heart lies under your feetl T
am desperate, maddened with the love
I bear you-Adele st. Cyr!"
She drew back with gesture of dis
dain.
"Adele Lawrence!" she corrected,
softly. "You forget, Mark, that I have
claim. though as yet unacknowledged
to that name! lou forget that the
poor ballet-dancer will be lady some
day, and will hold her own with the
best! That wealth will some day be
mine, and with it social position, and
the proud ladies who to-day pass me
by, as though to touch me were con-
tamination, will some day be proud to
claim my friendship, will sue for my
favor! it is with this hope that I live
yet you forget!"
An inarticulate cry rushed to his
lips; his dusky face was working with
passion; he drew nearer her side, his
