For the first five or six hundred miles
of its course, from the Victoria Nyanza
to point somewhere north of Lado,
the Nile is known to the Arabs as the
Bahr-el-Gebel, the river of the noun
tains. This is the most beautiful part
of the river. The country is diversified
with mountains and forests; green hill
sides and bright brooks. For stretches
of many miles the river is broad and
slow. In other parts are wooded islands
and foaming rapids. About half way
between the Victoria Nyanza and Lado
the Nile flows through the northern end
of the Albert Nyanza. About twenty
five miles above the Albert Lake are
the MurchisOn Falls. Below the lake,
for more than one hundred miles, the
stream is broad and placid, traversing a
comparatively level country, and always
navigable for vessels drawing four or
five feet. In this part of its course,
about forty miles below the Albert
Lake, it passes Wadelai, the present
headquarters of the Emin's government.

VARIETY IN NEEDLES.
Something About Those Used by Mechanics
of Every Description.


A needle is a little thing, hardly
worth mentioning, in fact, but the daily
consumption of them in the United
States is 100000 About one-sixth of
these are made in Brooklyn, but the
greater part of the needles we use come
from Redditch, England.
There are needles which all wig
makers use. They are as delicate as
hair and shaped like fsh-hook. There
is tambOur needle and the needle for
shirring machines; the great sail needle,
which has to be pushed with steel
palm the knitting machine needle with
its little latchet: the arasene and crewe4
needle. and the long instrument which
the milliners use.
Then there is the surgeons cruel
outfit. the probing needle, made for
hunting after bullets or internal sores;
the post-mortem needles, of various
curves and sizes; the hair-lip needle;
the long accupressure pins, for pinning
gaping wounds in place; all the needles
for eye. head and body, long, short
curved once twice or three times. Then
the veterinary surgeon has his case of
needles. too. The upholsterer is a favored
man. He has needles on half curve and
on the quarter curve round points
and sword points, long eyes round eyes,
- eyes and countersunk eyes. The
cook is not left out of this trade, but has
a curious trusting needle, made for car
hrt
right into the very heart of a fowl or
roast, being hollow and large at the end
where the butter is poured in. There is
also the larding needle, which sews
large pieces of meat together or fastens
bit Of fat deep in lean piece of meat.
One of these was invented by French
chef. The other was made to meet the
demands of butchers who cook large
quantities of meat for the free-lunch
restaurants, and who wish to sew their
meat into good shape, so that it will cut
we'll The collar-maker's needle is not
unlike the upholsterer's. The netting
needle has a little branch at each end,
and with it goes broad mesh Of ivory
or polished wood The knife-point hem
needle. with its broad blade, was in
vented to suit the men at the Chicago
Stock Yards The broom-makers' needle,
like the sailors, has to be pushed with
a steel palm. That which the millers
use has a spring eye which the heavy
thread enters when the side of the eye
is pressed.
4 novice could never guess how to use
the needle made for sewing sOles on
shoes. The glove needles are marvel
ouslv fine affairs, though even the daint-
lest of them have three-cornered points.
The knitting or astrachan needle wants
no mention. Artisan.

While Messrs. Sangers' men were pre-
pairing to leave Accrington one Monday
morning, one of the elephants got away
from the confines of the circus and burst
open the door of a warehouse of a neigh
boring cooperative store, and when an
Accrington policeman entered he found
the truant indulging in biscuits and
jam. A basket of onions stood in the
elephants way, but as these were not to
his taste he hurled them in the road.
The officer did not attempt to seize the
animal, thinking it more prudent to OBJ
tain the assistance of its keeper. The
elephant was on Thursday morning dis
covered in another burglary at Chorley.
While the circus paraphernalia were be-
ing loaded up, he slipped away in the
darkness and forced open locked-up
grocer's shop in the High street. Here
he demolished a whole cheese, two
boxes of biscuits and other groceries,
and altogether did SO worth of damage.

portance Than WeIl-DOing.
Many persons seem to think that
speed in work is a higher accomplish
ment than quality of work. If speed Is
of the first importance, then it may be
an apology for poor quality. If quality
is of the first Importance, then 1t may
be an apology for want of speed One
saws: Il want to learn to write fast.
Another says: Il write this very
burriedly; please excuse erasures.
Would such writers-or workers rather
be thought quick than accurate? DO
they place the writing above the writ
ten? Even shorthand writer ought
not to write faster than he can write
well. Speed follows quality; quality
never follows speed. 1t is good thing
to do good work fast. But it is bad
thing to do fast work badly-and that IS
the way it generally is done when the
fast-doing is held above the well-dolng'

that it never gets done at all. The only
way to attain to high speed is to work for

ries IA Pretty Girl.
An extraordinary story, first published
bv-a Vienna newspaper and then gem
orally disbelieved, has since been con-
tirmed in every particular. "A young
man. calling himself Count Sander Way,
who pretended to have fallen out with
his family in Hungary, married last
August teacher at Klagenfurt, aged
Bwenty-seven. daughter OF an Inspector
of Woods and Forests there. The mar
riage took place on lonely farm in
Hungary. a certain Father Imre officia-
ting at the wedding ceremony
THE newly-married couple lived to-
gether for some time, and afterward
visited the girls parents in Klagenfurt,
where the father-in-law was constantly
fieeced by the alleged Count. Quarrels
arose, and ultimately it turned out that
the young Counts tales of himself were
all inventions The persons he referred
to were imaginary, and the inspector
was convinced he was a Swindler Some
thing still stranger, and indeed unpar-
alleled. soon came to light. Ere long 1t
was found that the sO-called Count was
in reality, woman of thirty-six, the
Countess Sarolta Way, daughter of the
late Colonel of Honveds, Count Lads
laus Way, one of whose daughters, named
Sarolta. had been educated as boy.
'All her life she had worn male attire,
and recently had appeared in the uni
form of the Honveds. She published
collection of poems under the name
Sander, and associated with young men,
who were not in the secret, in manly
amusaments. From Pesth, where eccen-
tricities of that sort are hardly rarity
she disappeared about year ago, after
which she was not again heard of till
her arrest, on the demand of her NOM
inal father-in-law, at Klagenfurt, 1t IS
probable that Father Imre was not
priest and that the girl, in going
through the form of marriage, only
executed another eccentricity in order

Good Work of Examining Boards.
During the past year rifle practice was not
carried on during the summer encampments,
and experience has proved that the company
range is the best place to qualify marksmen.
The examining boards contemplated in Sec
tion 81 of the CODE requiring IAN examination
into the capacity, qualification and efficiency
of every commissioned officer who may here
after be elected" have rendered excellent SER
vice in preventing the issuing of commissions
to incompetent men elected as officers, and is
one of the best pro ective features in the code.
There seems to be a growing disposition on the
part of the members of these examining boards,
as well as officers generally to raise the stand
ard of qualification. and this can be success
fully done by rigid examination of candi-
dates.
In this connection it may be noted that dur
ing the winter the commanding officers OF a
number of the regiments have required the
officers to assemble at stated periods for mill
tary instruction. These officers schools. as well
as the schools for non-commissInned officers in
the companies, have been productive OF n uch
good, and are worthy of encouragement.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4.-The State
Revenue Commission met to-day In parlor
ol'the Lafayette Hotel. Auditor General
McCamant called the meeting to order few
minutes after 10 O'Clock. The reports OF
Prof Bolles, Colonel Wright and General
McCamant were submitted and accepted
without being read. On motion OF Prof.
Bolles, it was decided that in the printed
report of the work OF the commission there
should be embodied the general report OF
the commission, the minority reports Of
Colonel Wright, Prof. Bolles and Auditor
General McCamant and the Victor E.
Piollet bill, prepared by the single tax
advocates. 1t was decided to print ], 900
copies of the majority bill, together with the
majority report for distribution among the
State Grange.
The bill prepared by Auditor General Nc
Camant, which provides for more strict
classification of real estate than now in
vogue, was reported upon unfavorably by
the committee to which it had been referred.
Mr.. Peirce's bill entitled 'an act to regu-
late the assessment of property taxable for
county purposes and the advertisement Of
seated and unseated lands to be sold tor
non-payment of taxes" was also reported
upon unfavorably. The majority report
was considerably modified by number of
corrections, proposed by Messrs. Peirce and
Rhone.
The following paragraph was stricken
out: I'VE have confined our efforts to the
revision of our local tax laws without dis
turbing our present system of State reve-
nues for prudential reasons stated In the
general report of the commission, and in its
place was substituted the following:
1.-THE Commission was authorized to pre-
pare bill covering both State and local
taxation. We think, however, that for
prudential reasons the laws regulating the
assessment and collection of State revenues
ought not TO be disturbed at the present
time. We recommend the conservative
course of introducing innovations only
when necessary to secure the claimed relief.
Nor have we blended the system of local
taxation with the system of State taxation.
They have become separated, and in our
opinion they ought always to remain
divided. A system of taxation which re-
quires each county to contribute to the sup
port of,the State government in the ratio OF
the assessed value of property in each
county, invariably leads to undervaluation
in assessments. This has demoralizing in
fuence on the public service and leads to
irregularities in assessed values. Even
now, without this incentive, the law which
requires that all taxable property shall be
valued and assessed at the price tor which it
would sell at bona fide sale is disregarded
in many counties"

passing a vote of thanks to Adjutant Gen.

JOLIET, Dec. A terrible accident oc-
Cured at the blast furnace department OF

to-day. The furnace, which was blown out
for refining and repairs made necessary by
a recent explosion which was. attended
with loss of life, fell to the
ground without warning. when men were
engaged at work on it. Eleven men were at
work in the inside at the bottom and about
six on top, when the accident occurred.
Masonry work and furnace Innings were
piled up on each other in confused heap,
mingled with the dead and dying.
A band of willing laborers at once
gathered at the scene and began the work OF
recovery and rescue. Gathered about them
and urging them TO renewed efforts, were
the wailing wives and children oil
the unfortunate men. Within half
an hour they had succeeded in taking
out eight bodies. Five of the un ortunates
were dead, crushed almost out Of all
semblance to human shapes, while the other
three were apparently fatally injured. The
killed were Gust Loosa, Nels Larson, John
Peterson, Theodore Larson and StaIs

One man was buried in the water tank
and another cut in two. One of the men on
top of the furnace escaped serious injury.

A TARIFF ON LYMPH.
Is DR.. KOch's Discovery Dutiable
Under the Mckinley Bill?
NEW YORK OFFICIALS PUZZLED.
Collector Erhardt and Postmaster Van Cott
in Quandary.
A CHEMICAL ANALYSIS MAY BE MADE

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The question arose
of tuberculosis, sent by Pro-. Koch, of Ber-
lin, to Dr. Abraham Jacoby, of New York,
was subject to duty under the Mckinley
bill. Section IS of the bill includes the
following:
All medicinal preparations, including medici-
nal proprietary preparations of which alcohol
is not component part and not specially pro-
vided for in this act, % per cent ad yalorem.
1t was understood that no charge was
made to DR.. Jacoby for the lymph, and the
problem was whether it had any value what
ever. Collector Erhardt was considerably
puzzled over the designation that ought to
be applied to lymph.
"What is lymph?" ne asked. Does it
contain alcohol? Is it proprietary
preparation? What is its commercial
value? These are some of the questions to
be answered in connection with an impor-
tation of lymph, and 1 assume that a
chemical analysis by the Appraisers de-
partment is the best means of answering
them. Dutiable goods sent through the
mails are forfeited. The absence of intent
to smuggle does not help the matter. Post
master Van Cott has no discretion in deal
ing with dutiable articles, even if they pass
through the postofice. They are wholly
within the jurisdiction of the Customs
authorities"
'It is" said Deputy Collector Couch, "for
the appraiser to report to the collector the
composition and general character of lymph,
which may be determined by chemical an
alysis. Section IS, of the Mckinley bill,
seems to provide for lymph"
DIR. jacob said last night that he knew
nothing about the whereabouts of the phial
containing the lymph said to have been sent
to him. He received advices from a friend
in Berlin several days ago asking if he had
received the lymph, from which it would
appear that it was due here by this time. and
the doctor is at loss to account Tor It's nom
appearance. The lymph will be used at the
Mt. Sinai Hospital in various experiments
by DIR. jacob.
