and it contains about six aud One-half million
people. or these six millions are peasants who
live in mud huts in little villages which art
scattered mp and down the Valley Of the Nile
They are the poorest of the poor, and they
make their living from the filling OF the soil
For every acre OF land they cultivate they pay
from four topine dollars annually in taxes, aud
in addition TO this they export and import taxes
on everything they buy or sell. On the edge Of
each village aud city there is tax Office, aud

dollars q year. There are taxes on sheep ana
goats, which are paid whether the animals are
sold or not, and there are taxes on wells and
fisheries and the general tariff tax on all i'm

The domestic relations ofthe Khedive and the
khediyieh were much the same as those of any
Christian family, though the manners of the
palace we're of course after those of the Mahome-
tan. The Khedive had his establishment and
she had hers. The two ate separately. When
they wentirom one place tORnother they seldom
travelled in the same car. SStill, their relations
were the most intimate, and the khedive often
counseled with his wife rs TO matters Of State.
They were both very fond Of their family.
The two boys and the two girls who made up
the children Of the establishment were brought
up very much like well-to-do American chill

"There She BlOws!'

CHICAGO, July %. With hundred
flags flying from her stays and topmasts,
the good ship Progress, Capt. James
Dowden, sailed into port yesterday after
noon. Vessels saluted the heroine of the
Arctic seas and torrid zone with scream
ing whistles, and sailing craft fired guns
and dipped their colors in her honor. The
old whaler lies off Harrison street, near
the Government pier. There or there
abouts she will remain until after the
Worlds Fair closes it's gates. 1t is said
that many thousands of persons will tread
her decks and view the novel and interest
ing exhibition her old hulk holds. From
the time she left New Bedford, Mass, on
June last until she left Racine yesterday
morning, the passage Of this remarkable
old barque has been accompanied with
rare enthusiasm from all who sighted her.
The old craft, the last spike was driven
in her oaken sides nearly 80 years ago. is
owned by syndicate headed by Henry E.
Weaver Of Chicago. The purpose of the
gentlemen interested is to give to the peo-
pie of Chicago and her visitors a correct
eXemplitication of the whaling industry.

A Cat that Took to Water.

The most interesting trait in our cat S
character did not appear until he had
been a week OF SO on board. Then he
gave us a surprise. 1t was when we We're
lying in Camden harbor. Everybody was
going ashore to take a tramp among the
hills, and Charlie, the cook, was coming
too, to row the boat back to the yacht.
MILDLY discovered that he was somehow
''getting left. Being prompt and very
decided cat, it did not take him long to
make up his mind what to do. He ran to
the low rail of the yacht. put his forepaws
on it, and gave us a long, anxious look
Then as the boat was showed Off he raised
him a good-by, chatfed him pleasantly
and told him to mind the anchor. and
have dinner ready when we GOT back.
That was too much for his temper AS
quick as a flash he had dived overheard,
and was swimming like waters spaniel
after the dinghy.
That was the strangest thing we had
ever seen in all our lives. We were quite
used to elephants that could play at see
saw, and horses that could fire cannon,
to learned pigs and to educated dogs; but
a cat that of his own accord would take
to the water like a fill blooded Newfound-
land, was a little beyond anything we had
ever heard of. OF course the boat was
stopped, and MILDLY was taken aboard
drenched and shivering, but perfectly
happy to be once more with the crew
He had been ignored and sighted; but he
had insisted on his rights, and as soon as
they We're recognized he was quite con-
tented. August ST. Nicholas.

Fearful Hail Storm.

NoRrHF1ELD, Mimi, July 2s. Yester-
day terrible hail and wind storm swept
over the town of Pennington, II miles
north of here, and an area of country 20
miles east and west by two miles north
and south. Hail stones as large as hick-
DRY nuts and hens eggs fell, covering the
ground six inches deep, tearing awnings
and signs down, Sitting the latter into
small pieces, while plate glass suffered in
proportion. Ten thousand panes of glass
were broken. Trees were stripped of their
foliage, many being totally stripped of
their branches, while roofs of small out
buildings were all battered in. The loss
to crops is absolute, corn, wheat and oats
being cut down. This is so over an area
of Is miles square, covering portions of
Rice, Dakota and Goodhue counties, ex-
tending west to the Mississippi River, 30
miles. A liberal estimate will place the
acreage destroyed at 10000 and the loss
at $500, 900.

H. Nelson, of Waterville, aries here to-
night with a string of II horses, headed
by the famous stallion Nelson, 10. to
train during August and remain through
the fair. Fearing that the present stall
capacity of the park may be overtaxed by
the great rush of horses, three men have
been placed at work building additional
quarters for horses. The outside attrac-
lions this year will be the Mystic Peek
Combination, an English balfoonist and
other features. The general offices of
the fair have already been opened and the
entire month of August is to be devoted
to perfecting the details of the exhibition.
