RUMORs that Tewfilz Pasha, late khe-
dive of Egypt, came to his death by
foul means became so prevalent in Cairo
that an investigation was ordered, and
resulted in declaration by DR.. Coma
nos, who had charge of the investiga-
ton, that while death was caused by
blood poisoning due to uremia, the lat
ter was undoubtedly accelerated by an
overdose of morphine administered to
the sick man by DR.. Salem Pasha, who,
with DR.. Issa Bey, were the personal
and private native physicians of the
khedive.

The house committees are so consti-

Speaker Crisp believes in the policy of
rewarding his friends and Furnishing
his enemies There is not the least
sign Of magnanimity on his part where
that virtue was demanded for personal
as well as political reasons He has
chosen to manifest spirit of partially
and resentment that is decidedly un-
worthy Of man occupying such an
exalted position. Instead of applying
reasonable and practical tests of fit
ness and placing men where they log
ically belong by reason Of their ability
and experience, he has made his se-
lections solely with reference to the
way in which the different members
voted for speaker He had the oppor-
tunity to remove all the bad feeling
that was engendered during that con-
test and to restore harmony in the
democratic tanks, but he was not
equal to the occasion The idea Of
conciliating his opponents by giving
them fair share of the favors at his
disposal did not enter into his calcula-
tions, it is easy to see. He was urged
by the leaders of his party to recognize
the claims Of certain prominent mem
bers, and he absolutely refused to do
so. Those who contribut to his cleo
ton get all of the choice places, and
those who antagonized his interests
are snubbed and humiliated.

SINGING BY THE WAY.

He sang as the blithe- hearted robin
Sings In summer day,
Unmindful that nny listened
To the music OF his 10y.
The Joy OF life and OF living
Seemed voiced in the simple strain
That filed the dir with such sweetness
As tho fields hive after rain
His weary and toil-worn neighbor
Heard, and was glad TO hear,
For into his life of labor
1t threw o thrill of cheer.
1t lifted his thoughts from sadness,
1t charmed nwny his care,
And the music and It's gladness
Brought q blessing, unaware.
We may oil be singers. my brothers
OF songs to help and cheer.
The strain may not be lofty;
There may be few TO hear,
But into some life the music
OF tho song We sing may foil,
Bravo with Its faith In the goodness
OF the God who is over oil
Let the Joy OF our lives run over
Our lips In o cheerful song,
And tho world may have moro OF sunshine.
And the faint Of heart grow strong
Sing, for the Joy OF singing,
And sing your cares away,
And share with others the gladness
That comes to you, day by day.
