The War on the Dervfshes.

The Egyptian government is forming grain
depots along the Nile for the purpose of sup
porting fugitives who are fleeing before the
advance of the dervishes. Many tribal sheiks are
rendering their services to the government.
The dervish prisoners arriving at Assouan are
terribly emaciated, having suffered greatly
from hunger and thirst. Among them are
many women and boys. An Italian woman,
named Marietta Cavacalo, says she was brought
from kardofan by Mad ell Jumi There were
five nuns and two priests still alive at Khar-
toum. The dervishes left Dongola with 5000
men and six guns. Mad Ell Jumi hoped to reach
Bimbau without fighting. On the march many
died and deserted. while many others were
killed. Col Wodehouse estimates the dervish
killed and wounded at 2,500 Nine hundred
and fifty members Of the Connaught Rangers
have been sent to Malta to replace troops who
have been dispatched TO Egypt -Four regi-
ments stationed at Aldershot have been ordered
to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to

He Was BOW.Legged.

From the Chicago Tribune.
He had taken vacant seat in the car by the
side Of lovely young girl with whom he had
some acquaintance already, and whom he was
ardently desirious of impressing favorably.
Under the spell of his brilliant conversational
powers and the glance of his dark hazel eye the
tell-tale blush had risen to her cheek and bore
mute yet eloquent testimony to the progress
the presumpruous youth was making in her
good graces- Carelessly handing the train-boy
quarter of dollar and requesting the worth
OF 1t in caramels he was about to resume the
conversation that had been interrupted for the
moment, when he saw the flush die out of the
young lady's face and a cold, indifferent,
wearied look take its place, and he knew a
blight had fallen forever on his budding hopes.
On what tribes hangs the destinies of two
human lives. As the boxes of caramels were
thrown by the train-boy ON the young mans
lap they fell to the floor, and his fair COM
panion had seen them fall and noted the
reason.

herself, ''as bow-legged as he is"

is very large for city home, and in addition
has fine lawn on the south side which is an
attractive feature of the neighborhood Before
removing his family here for the winter, he is
making some improvements and alterations to
the house. Under the supervision Of Mr..
Charles Edmonston, the well-known builder of
this city, an addition is being made ON the
south side of the house in the shape of bay
window which will overlook the beautiful
lawn. The kitchen, which is on level with
the first floor. is also being enlarged, and an
addition will be built to the stable, which is on
the rear portion OF the lot. The house is one
of the largest private residences in the city
and is well adapted for large social gatherings

A Senatorial Poker Game.

Years ago Senators Jones, Vest,
Stewart, and Cameron were playing "A
game of poker one evening. says the
San Francisco Examiner, and although
the stakes were not high the company
was good and it ran until long after
midnight. A few days afterward Vest
remarked to Jones: Il say, Jones,
wasn't that a nice game the other even
ing? Everything went along so well
and no one at the game had to watch
the other three. like gentleman S
game like that, where you don't even
have to cut the cards for square
deal"
Jones, who is an incorrigible wag,
suddenly conceived the idea of having
some fun with Vest, SO he manufac-
tured story to fit the occasion.
"rm glad you think So" he said,
"but Bill Stewart doesn't have that
idea of it."
WHAT" said Vest, quite seriously,
"do you mean to tell me that Stewart
thinks there was cheating in that
game?"
That's the idea he conveyed to his
wife when be reached home. She

Four Old Churches.

Lincoln county, Maine, famous for
Indian relics and other antiquities, has
three churches that were built before
the Revolution, and one whose doors
were opened at the very dawn OF the
present century. The German Luth-
eran Church at Waldoboro was erected
in 177l, and is still in good state of
preservation. 1t Is IL queer old wooden
structure, with pews like boxes, and an
elevated pulpit and galleries around
three sides. It's interior finish is
quite elaborate, but implanted, and its
windows are set with odd little panes
OF glass, which admit very doubtful
light It's Bible and other books are
as old as the building, and the sexton,
Miles w. Standish, is lineal descend
ant OF the Puritan Captain. Waldo
boro was settled by Germans, and up
TO the year 1880 services in the old
church were connected in the German
language. At that time, however, the
congregation had become Angticized
to such degree that they preferred
their sermons in bad English. Regu-
lar services were discontinued fifty
years ago, but the society keeps up its
organization, and once a year the
whole countryside flocks TO the quaint
old church to attend the anniversary
services, which prevents it from fall
ing into complete disuse. "Walpole
Church" in Bristol closely resembles
the Waldoboro edifce, and is still in
good condition after III years OF
almost continuous use. 10 Alma, near
Wiscasset, there is church which is

LUNA AND LUN ACYs
The Influences of Vari Gus Seasons
on Minds Disc ased.

The old idea that luna and lunacy
have an intimate relation appears To
be not wholly without foundation, says
the Pail Mall Gazette. This, at any
rate, is dem onstrated by the commits
sioners in lunacy for Scotland: That
the seasons have distinct inaue nee on
asylum statistics. The tables OF ad-
missions during the years 1897 show
that there are two well-marked periods
one in which the nu mber rises con-
siderably above the average. and the
other in which it falls considerably be-
low. The average monthly number
for the eight years was /, 500. During
the three months of May. June, and
July the number was 628 above what
it would have been il the average
number had been admitted. On the
other hand. during the months of
October, November, December and
January the number was 462 below
what it would have been il the average
number had been admitted. The table
shows further that this rise and this
fall are preceded by gradual fall, the
rise taking place during February,
March, and April, and the fall taking
place during July, August and Septem-
ber
The special frequency" the COM
missioners say, with which asylum
treatment is resorted TO during the
period from the middle OF April TO the
middle OF July corresponds with what
has been observed by asylum physicians
that there is tendency to an exacer-
baton of the mental disorder OF patients
in asylums during the early part of
summer; and it is interesting to notice
also that the statistics OF suicide in the
general population show that this oc-
ours most frequently during the same
period"
The greatest number OF recoveries
take place during June, July, and
August, and they are fewest during the
months OF November, January, and
February The regularity in the rise
and fall of the mum Ders is twice inter
rupted by fall in April, and the fall
is Interrupted by a rise ia December.
at is considered probable that these
interruptions are due to some causes
which recur regularly at these periods,
because they are we'll marked in
character; and it is suggested that the
December rise is occasioned, in part at
least, by the annual statutory revision
of the condition OF patients in asylums
during that month. This revision is
made by medical officers OF asylums
with a view TO determine whether they
can properly give the certificate of the
necessity for further detention in the
asylum, which is annually required to
legalze the continued residence of all
patients who have been three years in
an asylum. The occurrence OF the
large number Of recoveries during the
months OF June, July. and August is
probably due to the large number OF
admissions during May, June, and
July, as more than As per cent OF all
the recoveries which take place during
the first year of residence occur within
three months OF the date of ad-
mission"

The Oldest OddfelloU.

Peter LANG, who has probably only
one senior in years in this country, and
who is certainly the most remarkable
centenarian in Great Britain, was the
other day admitted in his native town
of Elgin IA member of the local lodge OF
Oddfellows. At the conclusion OF the
initiation ceremony the centenarian
sang. with marvellous clearness and
strength of voice, his favorite song
"Gilderoy," and, in replying to the
toast OF his health, gave evidence that
the great weight of years he carried
had not completely crushed out OF him
the rugged humor for which he was
wont TO be noted amongst his fellows
1t having been remarked that it was
not likely the Order could boast, during
the forty years since its institution, OF
member who had life record OF 100
years, Peter wished that all the com
pany would live another forty years,
concluding his brief speech with the
quaint phrase. "An' by that time We
may riddle my ashes through mill
