stretch is a mystery. They generally end
up into the same position when lying down.
Passing through the streets of Cairo, either
at night or day, one sees bundles slowed
away in convenient corners. Perhaps there
is nothing to indicate human being, but
you soon learn they are merely natives en-
joying nap. A great portion of the
poorest class live thus entirely in the streets.
The Arab gets along with very little food.
He never uses knife or fork, but scoops out
with his hands from the common dish.
Sugar cane comprises large element of his
diet
He is a Mohammedan in his religion.
and is frequently seen at his devotions sit
ting with face to the East and bowing his
head to the ground at frequent intervals
As an individual he is dirty, harmless (you
may, without fear of the slightest molesta-
ton, parade the thickest of his bazaars and
slums), peaceful, contented good-natured,
lazy, with a large vein of humor. He is
considerable of thief and liar, and an
inveterate beggar. He is, of course, from
his religion teetotaler. He makes poor
soldier and a worse officer, which facts his
continued subjugation through thousands
of years may explain. The English are
turning their attention to this feature with
great success.) He seldom strikes, but
takes his quasrels out in loud talks. He
has great respect for police or military au-
thority. In trade he, after lengthy hag-
Cling, will generally accept from half to
! n nuorter of his fret ,or;no
The worst physical fault of the Arab is
poor eyes brought on by the flies. Super
stitioD prohibits their being brushed from
the face during childhood. Thus a great
portion of the people soon become partially
or totally blind. Glasses are practically
never worn. The native singing and dane
ing is peculiar to itself The music is COM
posed of an odd combination of minor notes
which when sung are generally pitched in
high key. The dancing consists in con-
tortion of the body; very little movement
being given to the feet.
Such is short description of the Egyp-
tian and his native home Even though
the country is now pretty well opened up
1t will take long time to modernize it and
utilize its resources. A civilization that
has maintained its identity through thous-
ands of years, surviving the encroach-
ments of Babylonians, Hykses, Philippians.
Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, Romans,
Arabs and Turks, and still hanging with
dogged persistence to the past, is not to
have its conservatism broken through in a
decade, But when, through the English
administration, perfect irrigation and
government is given to the country, then
it is to be hoped foreign capital will see fit
to utilize the productive soil and cheap
labor here offered.

1t is an undisputable fact that the Home
Manufacture of Fertilizer in this county has
reduced the cost of it to the farmer from
three to five dollars per ton and saved to
them Thousands of Dollars. Therefore, is
it not wisdom on your part to encourage us
while we are trying to save you money, and
bring you nearer to the manufacturer? We
desire to deal directly with you as possible,
thereby saving to you all extra commissions.
We therefore invite all farmers, farmers

before purchasing elsewhere. We manufac-

guarantee them as represented. They are
drer, have less acid and moisture than the
usual city mixture and will drill perfectly. We

A Mothers and Sisters love.
Long lost for aye TO me,
Attuned the key note in my soul
Ofloves that were TO be,
To sweet immortal murmur-strains
oftrue affinity.
But wistful, waiting, watching, /,
The wide world wandering then,
Mid needless, heartless, heagenless herds
OF women and of men,
Was wondering would the current change
AS well was wondering when.
So few are spirits fifty strung,
ITO echo back the tones,''
ofthoSe which for the heart of hearts,
All else beside disowns,
Nor Loves responses would exchange
For Kingdoms and for thrones
Though fitrul natures be sincere.
Less changeful, if they must,
With listening hearts sensorium
Up-turning from the dust
Await the rarer eadencies
OF deathIess love and trust.
The spirit-ear will catch those tones
In their spontaneous flow,
Like to its own intensified
Mysterious and low,
And knows not why their accents chord,
But feels that it is so.
oh, truthful throbbing, painting souls
OF sensibility,
In whose up-heaying bosom's swell
A world ofsympathy,
ImpaSsioned feelings like thine own,
May be to live for thee.
There must be scenes of heart repose
For every trusting lamb,
For every noble, constant heart,
Blest hours of holy calm,
Where tremble sweeter joys than rest
For all the past balm.
Heart wealth cast in the balances,
Awaiting like to bless,
'Gainst heart impulses weighing-weighs
Them oft to find them less
Till meeting its preponderant
In beautiful excess.
Twas so emotions floodtide rose
Where all had stole been
Ties intisued stronger than
The world had scarcely seen;
But pillowing bosom-pillowed brow,
The grave divides between.

the millions of reform workers OF the
country. This is important. The en-
emy is shrewd, cunning and sly. His
underground work must be promptly ex-
posed. We need not fear him in fair
fight, but his underhanded, secret work
must not be allowed to go undiscovered.
One Of the best ideas of the Alliance
campaign thus far, and one which has
most Of all lSdiscomfted the enemy, is the
plan OF sending the western leaders of
the order to speak in the south and the
southerntlead to address the Alliance
men of the west. In no other way could
the downfall OF sectionalism be so COM
pletely demonstrated and assured. The
situation moved that excellent sheet, the
Topeka Advocate, to remark:
"Our Republican friends are weeping
and wailipg because Colonel Polk, presi-
dent Of the National Farmers Alliance
and Industrial union, is spending so
much OF 5his time and energy in the
northern states, instead of going south
and laboring for the conversion of the
Democracy. It is a fact that Colonel
Polk is doing good deal of work in the
north, while Willitts, PETER, Jerry Si1np-
son, Mrs Lease, Mrs. Diggs and many
other northern people have extensive en-
gagements in the south. In fact there
seems to be a disposition for general
mixing upof the people of these two long
estranged sections, and it is not pre-
dicted that the mixture will be health
full to either Of the old parties that have
heretofore done SO much to perpetuate
the estrangement. This is what causes
the many tears to flow because Of Colo
mel Polk's labors in the north"
The national committee appointed by
the Cincinnati conference is hard at
work, and the results Of their labors
will, some of them, soon be apparent.
They have naturally first turned their
attention to states which hold the earli-
fst elections. Kentucky is first on the
list, and Chairman Fl. E. Tanbrueck
is personally conducting the Peoples
party campaign. He speaks most en-
couragingly Of the situation in the fol-
lowing letter from Frankfort:
AAS SuVASOh ACAO 40 CAUA lAJ
good. The central committee met yes
terday and every one is enthusiastic.
also met our candidate for governor-he
is practical farmer and was president
Of the state Farmers Alliance for five
years. He is acquainted in every county
Of the state, and has splendid abilities as
an organizer. About one-third Of the
state is already organized on the Kansas
plan and all the state will be organized
by July 10. A man who has not been
here can form no opinion as to the ex-
tent Of the firm foothold our party has
in tEis state. The Democrats are en-
trely unorganized. Urge every one that
possibly can to help us at once, either
with money or by sending speakers. If
our friends knew the true state of affairs
here, they would crowd into the state so
as to have a share in the victory. Two
thousand dollars to enable us to pay
speakers expenses will enable us to carry
this state in August"
