Shooting the Cataracts.

There is nothing like emphasizing
the difficulty of an undertaking for the
purpose of calling attention to ones
own prowess in graphing with it. A
party of travellers in Egypt, whose adj
ventures arc narrated in From Pha-
raoh TO Fellah," were on the route to
Philae, and expected to shoot the cata-
racts by the way. As they approached
the more dangerous part of the river,
a boat was pulled to the shore, where
a group of donkey-boys were waiting
with their animals, and the guide de-
clared the project to be too dangerous
to attempt at that season of the year.
Tell him to go on at once" cried
one of the party.
Then the two Egyptian boatmen fell
on their knees, and begged the travel
ers to abandon such a wild attempt.
They were poor men; they were the
slaves of his excellency, the pasha, who
accompanied the party; they would die
for him, but would not 60 down the
cataract with him.
This is all rubbish" cried the pasha,
exasperated; hundreds do it every
year, and we must do it."
Another agonized conversation fol-
lowed, and then the interpreter re-
ported, We'll, your excellency, he say
not mind Kill other gentlemen, if they
give him certificate they don't mind,
but he say if he kill your excellency he
be hanged.
Tell him we have decided TO die to-
gether." said one.
Tell him he shall have four napOle-
ons," said another
The Egyptians eyes twinkled.
"Make it five" he said
you go at once, or you shall be
hanged whether am drowned or not,
announced the pasha, and finding that
he meant business, the guide accepted
the situation.
Up the stream goes the boat, eau
tiously approaching the midcurrent a
few inches at stroke.
Hold tight" and suddenly, with a
swing, the boats bow wheels round
twice, and we are In full stream. Very
gently move the oars now, for they are
not needed, and only kept near the
water to steady her. Quick flies the
boat, and the whirl OF the water flashes
angrily against the black powders on
either side
"Bab "a Abu Bah" cry the sailors
in monotoDous chant, and the old guide
sits grim and black in the stern, with
watehful eye on his men and grin out
look ahead.
Great Ammon Took at that rock
ahead!" whispers the pasha.
1t grew nearer, and the guide APP
parently frantic wit& anxiety, screamed
his directions at the top of his voice.
Back screamed the sailors angrily, as
if in mutiny.
Allah helP-us. Great Bah help us :"
rise in aConimng cries.
We're In it !" said the pasha.
Don't waste your strength fighting
with the stream, sad another, quietly,
as he slipped his arm out of his coat
A big wave seemed TO lift the boat IN
air. and to be about to dash it on the
black rock. A look of horror came over
the guides face, and he uttered one
despairing shrek, as Swimming the
crest of the breaker, the boat gave q
turn at right angles, passed the rock at
a Yards distance, turned completely
Mound twice, and was riding placidly in
open current.
All finishl" cried an Egyptian. and
the guide added solemnly, very
clever! Plenty baksheesh!'
His fear aud horror had merely been
the proper dramatic accompaniment to
the situation.

Curious Actions and Treatment OF Vic

There are various species of the in

are most liable to be bitten, because
they wear SO little clothing on account
of the intense heat A violent fever
Is the beginning of the disease; the
person bitten sways backward and for

are called, and if the tune does not

bitten-she Cor hey means louder. cry

up, begins to dance frantically. II she

color. she is decked with streamers OF

as she dances and losses her arms in the
air. They generally begin the cere-
mony indoors, but it often ends in the
street ON account of the heat and the
concourse of people. When the sta

into a warm bed, and sleeps sometimes
for eighteen hours at a stretch. Ii 1t

BUTCHERING STOCK.
Some Common Methods on the Farm

Some Common Methods on the Farm
That Are to he Avoided.
Butchering time on the farm con-
tinues on various farms all winter.
Many farmers kill at several differ
emit times, that much of the meat may
be eaten. How often barbarous and
disgraceful scene is witnessed when the
hog, after being let out, is chased per-
haps all over the garden, or some
field, or up and down the road, and
then staggers squealing. while he
pours out his lifes blood after being
''stuck" until SO weak that he falls.
Such things ought never to be seen or
heard in a civilized age, and particu-
larly by children. The Mortified sem

in the case of beeves, this produces a
stupor. and death is painless. The
blow can be administered directly by

be placed upon the skull and then
strike one firm blow. The latter Is
found to be preferable where the box
is used. The pork will be in no

ophy and kindly knowledge of the heart
which are Scott's, he is far more swift,
more witty, more diverting. He Is not pro-
hx, his style is not involved, his dialogue is
as rapid and keen as an assault at arms
His favorfte virtues and graces, we repeat
