All that covers Egypt with fertile
fields, hemmed in everywhere by sterile
wastes, is the sediment which the Athara
River, the Niles great tributary, brings
from rich Kassala and the mountains of
Abyssinia aud spreads over the Nile
Valley. 1t has been maintained by
Sir Samuel Baker that il the Soudanese
only knew their power it would not be
difficult to divert the Athara from its
channel and dry up its waters in the
Nubian desert, turning Egypt into a
barren wilderness like the surrounding

How Pepsin is Procured.

"While | have always had vague idea
as to the nature and properties of pep
sin, said a gentleman to the Man About
Town, 81 never fully realized that it is
the veritable product of the animal
stomach until recently. During visit
to New York saw the process of manu-
featuring in factory that has the oldest
method of preparing the article that
ever entered the human mind. By' fly
stated, number of perfectly healthy
hogs are fattened for market, and for
thirty-six hours before killing time arc
deprided of all food, not even allowed
drop of water. Then the trough from
which they are accustomed to cat is COW
cred with strong wire netting and the
most appetizing slops and hog delica-
cies, smoking hot, are poured into the
trough. The fumes ascend with CRATE
ful fragrance to the porcine nostrils, the
hogs all run to the trough and stand over
it, ravenous with hunger, squealing and
fighting with each other for a chance to
get at the food. The iron netting pre-
vents them tasting the food, and while
they are still thinking about the matter
they are killed, and their stomachs being
taken out are found perfectly full of gas
tric juice, from which pepsin is pre-
pared. The process was quite a revela'
tion to me. st. Louis Republic.

According TO a St. Louis decision,
quoted by the Boston Transcript, the
stealing of electricity is u misdemeanor
in the eyes of the law. A hardware
dealer with some knowledge of electri-
city placed fine wire across the connec-
tions to his meter, and caused 1t to
register in a certain time about $50 am
peres less than was actually used. When
brought to trial his lawyer interposed the
ingenious defence that, as at common
law electricity was unknown, and could
not under the code be made a subject of
larceny, and as no statutory law had been
passed making it a felony or misdemean-
or to steal electricity, for the reason that
its character was not known, and that it
was not subject to asportation as person.
al property, his client could not be con-
victed of larceny. 1t was, however,
shown by the prosecution tnat gas, also
unknown at common law, was neyerthe-
less something whose larceny was recog-
nized by the law as a misdemeanor.
When the attorney for the defence inter
posed the plea that the act in question
was fraud or deception instead of
larceny, the judge took advantage of the
Missouri statute which m axes fraud per.
petrated with a view to theft felony,
and set the defendants bail at $4,000.

1t seems that in Corsica you secure
your personal safety by keeping bandit.
In an article in the National Review
Basil Thompson explains that the tax of
supporting bandit is not without its
compensations. Bandits are hidden
power in the country. They control the
petty elections; they menace those who
are hostile to their own friends. Thus,
while the existence of 600 of them is
real danger to public security, it is no
small advantage to Corsican to be re-
lated to bandit. You support, you
pay, protect the bandit; and in return
he places his gun at your disposal. 1t is
an exchange of services. "He has ban
dit in his service" is a common express
sion. Are you in debt2 The bandit
will gain you time. Are you disputiug
the ownership of propertyl The bandit
will show your opponent he is wrong.

COInmbus's Idea of the World.

Columbus believed the solid part of
the sphere to be larger than the liquid
part, and the distance by the sunset road
between the East Indies and western
Europe to be less than it is.
But in those two capital errors lay the
great incentive to the execution and suc-
cess of his purpose. Had he known the
vast planetary spaces covered by the
waters; the continent interposed between
his own Europe and the land of dIa-
monds, gold, and spices; the difficulty
and peril of the passage yet to be brayed
in the far regions of the antarctic pole
in order to sail from our continental
Europe to the oriental Indies by the
western way, he would perhaps have
shrunk back in alarm aud dread. Gen

and worst behaved boy in school, had
been let off from his diurnal half hours
detention, under solemn bonds of never
offending again IN the bentpin and spit
ball question, and Miss Merritt was
drawing long sigh of relief, when the
door flew open with jerk, and Irene
Evans came in, carrying bundle of
books.
Miss Merritt opened her eyes.
"Why, Irene, thought you must be
sick, " said she. "You have not been in
school for two days.
Irene was tall and shapely, with large
blue eyes, black hair growing;low on her
brows, and very red cheeks. Her calico
gown fitted her badly, and the ribbons
on her coarse straw hat were faded inithe
sun, and spotted by mauy,a shower.
"No," said she, jerking out the
words somewhat as she had jerked open
the door, 'I amt sick. But l amt

THE MARCHING OF THE GRASS.
o the marching of the Grassi

o the marching of the Grassi
o the Joy that comes TO pass
When the mighty silent army with green
banners overblown
Drags the winter from his thronel
Conquers all his shining valleys, climbs the
rampant of the hill
Steals by lonely wayside hedges, fords the
river broad and still,
Undermines the fortress forest, overtops the
castle wall,
Swift invading wins the cities. and the
hamlet brown and small,
Till the whole wide world is captured,
And the soul Of man enraptured,
Thrills With passion Of delight
Sunny morn and dewy night;
And the joyous rhythmic pulsing marketh
time in lad and lass
TO the marching,
Marching,
Marching,
or the Grass.
o the marching Of the Grassl
Fairer things may come to pass
In the golden days of summer; roses drunk
with wine of June;
Fitting wild birds all atune
With the odorous breathed dawning; won
drous tapestry Of flowers;
Balm of incense; rest of shadow; tangled
veil of jeweled showers;
Hymning choirs of happy music backward
tossed from earth to sky;
The full beauty of completeness in rich
chorus lifted Hight
But what means its regal splendor
To the love beat shy and tender
With which Hope, the Blest, doth chime;
In mans pulses marking time
To the haunting spell Of gladness that doth
come--and go, alasi
With the marching.
Marching,

tons harder to understand than in any previous
campaign in the history Of the state. Recently
the picturesque has been added by the advent

ing now TO complete the list Of inharmonious,
incongruous elements which are warning one
upon the other in Kansas.
To rightly appreciate the significance Of the
several movements Of the different factions in
the sunhower state il must be understood that
the Kansas Of eight years ago is not the Kansas
Of today. Then its proud boast was that il
cast 50 900 majority for the republican ticket.
