A REAL RULER.
IshmaH Pasha, the Former Khedive of
ERDyt.

IahmaH Pasha- the Former khedive of
Egypt.
The extravaganza of Ismail Pasha,
the former khedive of Egypt, provoked
English and French holders of Egyptian
bonds to ask him to abdicate Their
governments pressed the request, and
the khedive, deposed in 1879 by the sui
tan, left Egypt and now lives in exile.
But although Ismairs faults were yery
great, he was real ruler
While NJ. de Lesseps was building the
Suez canal, the public opinion of Europe
was against the enterprise, and money
was hard to get. The khedive sent for
Mr.. Hawkshaw. an eminent English
engineer, and said to him.
Examine the ground, study the plans
and report to me confidentially. If you
report the work to be impracticable,
the works will be brought to an end"
Mr.. Hawkshaw reported not only that
the canal was practicable, but that it
could be made and maintained at a rea.
sonable expense. He was among the
guests invited by the khedive to attend
the opening of the canal. On his land
ing at Port Said, NJ. Lesseps presented
him to the engineers about him, saving:
This is the gentleman to whom / owe
the canal"
The khedive was anxious that the
Aigle, the steamer on which was the
empress of France, should have free
course through the canal. But the
Latiff, which he sent to clear the wav.
stuck, and blocked the canal. Word
was brought to the khedive at Port Said
between eleven and twelve o'clock al
night.
He got into his own vessel, took
three hundred men with him, and by
six o'clock in the morning had got the
Latiff off. and saw her shunted at one
of the stations, and went on through
the canal in his own yacht, so as to
have the course clear for theAigle, which
was to start at seven in the morning.

off, l should have blown her up, so that

quite as bad for the teeth as indigesti-
BILE food, the delicate enamel being ODE
dent, as every other substance is, to
the laws of contraction and expansion,
crushing and splitting under the proc
ess, and affording opportunity for the
beginning of decay by lodgment of food,
or even by the entrance of the common
air. Thus it is hardly matter of doubt
whether ice-water and ice-cream are
not of great detriment to the teeth,
whether good or bad for the stomach,
and if hot tea and coffee, or even plain
hot water, are not equally potent for
harm.
Nor must the mother, if it can be
helped, allow the first teeth to be
drawn. Real pain that can not be al
layed-for there was never yet philosO-
pher that could endure the toothache
patiently, says Leonata-is the only
thing that should make her yield on
this point; as it is right that the fangs of
the first milk-teeth should be absorbed
in their place, and not extracted, after
which absorption the little crowns will
drop away of themselves.
Food Astounding with lime, phospho-
rus, and other bone-making material,
and care to take it always at the same
temperature, and that moderate one,
together with complete cleanliness and
effort to leave no obstruction of any
sort in the interstices-clear water with
little soap being as good dentritice
as any-can not but make and preserve
perfect teeth and cause professional
dentistry to be almost unneeded, wheth-
er of the pristine sort, where clamps
and wires of gold, for centuries before
our own era, secured false teeth in the
place of those that were gone, or of that
vigorous sort in use when John Gerard
carved an entire set out of ivory for the
Father of his Country, or of that which
to-day defies the gossip and the Paul
Pry, and makes and sets pearls so that
nature, that beauty-lover, seems to be
their sole sponsor,
Yet dentistry has its place, and that
even when the teeth come and remain
strong and sound. For there is a posi-
bility of their crowding and slanting,
whose slightest symptom no mother
can allow herself to overlook, and at
the first sign of which the art of den
tistry is to be invoked, and little clasps
and bands of metal are set at once to
hold the growing tooth in the right
position, and hold 1t there till all is Sc
cure and shapely. There is no beauty
superior to that of mouthful of clean,
white, well-made, and well-set teeth;
they give an idea of health and whole
someness, of sweet breath, and even OF
sweet temper, since they are Usually
accompanied by the red lips of good di-
gestion, the parent of sweet temper;
and they are quite as attractive as rosy
cheeks and sparkling eyes and ambros-
ial locks. And whatever may be said
of their beauty, their comfort is some
thing not easily to be exaggerated,
hardly, indeed, to be felt, till the want
of it brings about such discomfort as
occasions the necessity of making not
two, but twenty bites at a cherry, and
causes us to recognize the blessing we
have, only, like most other blessings,
after we have lost it.-Harper's Bazaar.

Valuable Suggestions Concerning the Food

1t becomes mothers, from the moment
that their children begin to eat solid

vegetables and milk, eggs, fruit, bread
and porridges of the unbolted grains,

that they may at once begin seereting

necessary TO see that the food agrees
with the child; for if it is not of kind

IRONING IN SUMNER.
Hints to the Housewife for Making TIN
Work Cool and Pleasant.

Hints to the Housewife for Making the
Work Cool and Pleasant.
Ironing at best is hard work and hot
work, and yet, with the exercise of a
little judicious planning and purpose to
make it as easy as possible, even this
work can be done with degree of COM
mother who gets blind and faint over
her ironing table. There is an oil stove
whose crucial top has places for three
irons at once. 1t costs two dollars and
a half and burns half gallon of oil in
ten hours.
1t takes up only about a square foot
of space and can be set on a bare table
without danger of fire. 1t is wise,
though, to put bit of tin or sheet iron
under it. Establish your table in the
incest place possible; between door and
window of hall room if you can. Set
the little stove just outside, where the
heat will not strike you. Put thick
rug or carpet under your feet and wear
loose, low shoes-not slippers.
1t is not necessary to stand through
out the ironing, though. You may sit
on high stool and do the small pieces
without the least trouble. Have the
clothes-basket within reach of your
right hand, the clothes-horse on your
left, and you need not move, save to
change irons.
Keep three or four holders, and as
one gets hot lay it aside and take a
fresh one. And do not persuade your
self that good housewifery will be out

napkins and so on in double fold II
