Oddities About tho River Nile.

The Nile has fall OF but six inches
to the thousand miles The overflow
commences in June every year and con-
tinues until August, attaining an eleva-
ton of from twenty-fo ur to twenty-six
feet above low water mark; and flowing
through the s'valley of Egypt in d
turbulent body twelve miles wide.
During the last thousand years there
has been but one sudden rise Of the
Nile, that of 1929, when $4,000 people
were drowned. After the waters recede
each year the exhalations from the mud
are simply intolerable to all except
natives. This mud deposit adds about
eight inches to the soil every century
and throws a muddy embankment from
twelve to sixteen feet into the sea every
year. This being the case it is plain
that the mouth Of the river is thous-
ands of feet further north than it was
in the time of the Ptolemies. and it is
only question of time when the sedi-
ment will make dam entirely across
the Mediterranean sea.-St. Louis Re-
nnblic,

Poison in Candy,

Don't give the wee ones all the candy
they desire, through mistaken idea Of
kindness. Poisonous materials are
used in the compositions of all confec-
tons. Gamboge, a powerful poison, is
used for coloring them yellow; Bruns-
wick green, emerald green or the ar.
semitic of copper are used for coloring
green; Prussian blue, smalts and ultra
marine are used for the different shades
Of blue; red lead for the red, and burnt
umber, an earth containing oxide of
iron, forms the coloring matter of the
innocent brown candies; while s'daff,"
chalk, marble, plaster of Paris and
white clay are extensively employed in
the adulteration Of the sugar of which
all candies are made. In view of all
these facts, it is no wonder that the
constant use of such poisons produce
arrangements and disease, particularly
of the stomach and alimentary canal.
Hence my text: Don't allow the children
to eat much candy.-Farm and Fireside.

Tho rattlesnake's rattle Is like tho
sonnd which would be produced by the
rafting of number Of peas in a paper
bag. This represents the slightness Of
the sound. We are accustomed to pic
torial representations in which the rep
tile is made to look very angry and en-
ergetic, the tail erect in manner to
suggest a loud alarm. Accordingly.
when one hears it for the first time one
is surprised TO find the noise SO slight.
The sound, instead of being a rattle, is
rather a tinkle, and perhaps it has a
rather more metallic character than the
notion of the shaking of peas in a paper
bag would represent But, slight as
The sound is, the person who has never
met one of these reptiles before and
who, without seeing the snake, hears
for the first time among mountain rocks
or prairie grass its delicate yet wonder
fully distinct warning, knows instantly

"She does look so in the face, and her

1t was a scrap Of conversation over

the fact that the speaker was neither
kind nor refined. as the other woman's
shoulder blades betrayed her age; but it
limited at one of the secrets Of q youth
full looking figure.
The back should be straight; don't
mean the spine-that contains curve in
the most erect figure: but the line across
the back from shoulder to shoulder. A
stick laid across here should touch all
the way along. The limo Of beauty is
straight here, for change.
The muscles of the back are like elias
tics; they should spring back into place,
but they grow weak from age, the
shoulder blades fall away from the spine
aud throw the shoulders forward, and
the edges Of the blades stick out, max
ing the beck round in fat person and
angular in thin one, and always broad

The comparison to elastic is not per-
haps the best one, since elastic wears
out from use. while muscle becomes
stronger and tauter by use.
What backboards did for q past gen.
Grafton was TO keep the back fiat, but
there are better ways now. The point
is to exercise the muscles and not let

The Fighting Mole.

A writer in the ''Zool ogist" gives us
a new idea of the characteristics of the
mole:
People ordinarily look upon the mole
as a sluggish and harmless creature,
spending its life in cropping blindly
under ground As usual, the popular
idea is mistaken one The mole is in
reality the most ferocious and most
active of animals. Imagine it magni-
fed to the size of tiger. and you would
have more terrible beast than the
world has yet seen. Though with de-
fective powers of vision and therefore
incapable of following its prey by sight,
it would be agile beyond conception,
springing this way and that as it went
along, leaping with lightning quickness
upon any creature which it met, rend-
ing it to pieces in moment, devouring
the yet warm and bleeding flesh and in-
stantly seeking with hunger Unsuitable

The Kansas Crop of '02.

Never in the history of Kansas has
that state had spch bountiful crops as
this year. The farmers cannot get
enough hands to harvest the great
crop, ana the Santa Fee Railroad has
made special rates from Kansas City
and other Missouri River towns, to in
duce harvest hands TO go Into the
state. The wheat crop of the state
will be from sixty TO sixty-five mill on
bushels, and the quality is high. The
grass crop is made, ana is a very large
one; the early potatoes, rye, barley
and Oat crops are made, and are all
large. The weather has been propi.
tious for corn, and it Is the cleanest,
best looking corn to be found in the
country today. Cheap rates will be
made from Chicago, st. Louis and all
points on the Santa Fe east of the Miss
our River. to all Kansas points, on
August 80 and September q, and these
excursions will give chance for east
