develop from the nucleus. Although a man
may never see his way clear to building a
house, !: Is always step in advance to have
the ground all ready. The ground in the case
of Egypt consists OF a legislative council and
general assembly. Neither of these bodies
possesses enough power to dazzle the members
but still some duties pertain to the positions.
The council consists of thirty members. four

examine the budget and laws affecting the adj
ministration of the country and to make amend

merely advisory, and the government is not
bound to accept the advice. The general
assembly consists of the members of the coun-
ell, with the six governmental ministers and
forty-six additional members popularity elected.
This body also is limited to suggestions
although no new taxes can be levied without its
consent. The assembly meets every two years.
ENGLISH INTERFERENCE.
But to return to England and the constant
friction existing between her representatives
and the native officials. There have been SO
many incidents attending the possession and
non-possession of Egypt by England. which
have increased the quasi-opposltlon to English
rule among native leaders. that it is impossible
to go into detail. The custom of England in
standing aloof for q time on question and
then making demands has been the cause OF
the fall of nearly every minister since the oc-
cupation of the country. 1t began even with
the first minister sheriff Pasha. At the begin
ming the English government announced that
they would have nothing to do with the Soudan,
that it was an entirely Egyptian affair and
Egypt would have to take care OF the mahdi

changed her tone on this important question.

How the Thief Must Kick Himself.

From the ST Paul Daily Giobe.
Herman Stone, the pawnbroker and jevelse.
who has place on jackson street near the cor-
ner of 4th street, was looking over . quantity
OF unredeemed pledges yesterday, when he
found something which made his hair fairly
stand on end. About year ago young man
called at the store of Mr.. Stone and said he do
sired to borrow some money from the Office on
some personal property. The property COM
sisted OF valise. an oyercoat, q suit Of cloth
ing and a gold watch. The amount loaned on
the goods was S45, and the man who secured
the loan said he would call in the course Of .
Few DAYS and redeem the property. The goods
were placed IN the vault and have remained
there undisturbed ever since.
When the musty old satchel was taken out Of
the vault Yesterday il was found to be in the
same condition as il was at the time Is wss
placed In the room for safe keeping. The
clothing had been made into a separate pack
age. The valise was broken open and inside
was found a red leather belt, considerably the
worse Tor wear. The belt was taken out, and,
IN handling, it was noticed that il was very
heavy and had little pockets along the side.
Mr. Stone took the belt out into the front
room OF the store and opened the pockets Out
rolled gold pieces, double eagles to the num-
Der OF thirtv-four. They were bright and
shiny as the day they were taken from the
mint, and they looked though they had Just
been taken from the bank. The coins were al
OF the same date. 1880. The money legally be-
longs to the finder unless some person from
whom it was taken. as it was apparently stolen,
proves his property.

ARBOR DAY THE WORLD ovEK.
A Custom That Has Resulted in Planting
Millions of Trees.

N Sustom Inat mas Resulted In Planting
Millions of Trees.
The forthcoming annual report OF the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture contains an interesting &C.
count OF the progress of the Arbor day move
ment in this country. Arbor day was instituted
and first observed in April, 1872, in accordance
with resolution Of the Nebraska board of
agriculture, formulated and introduced by Mr..
Morton, now Secretary Of Agriculture. Its
observance was quickly followed by other
states, especially those deficient IN trees and
it has extended TO every state except Delaware
and Arkansas and every territory except the
Indian territory and Alaska. 1t has also passed
the Atlantic and gained q foothold in Great
Britain. France and in other portions Of the
old world and lodgment upon the islands of the
seas.
The day is established by law in thirty states.
or by boards of education and village improve
ment societies. In several states il has been
made legal holiday. while in nearly all il has
become a holiday for schools.
In 1882 the public schools were invited to
participate in the observance of the day. and
thus II has come TO have an important educa-
tional influence. cultivating a tree sentiment,
as 1t may be called. which promises to raise up
soon generation that will be lovers and pro-
tectors rather than destroyers of the forests.
reports OF the number of trees planted are
very incomplete. but it is known that il reaches
INTO billions. Several millions of trees were
planted April %. 1898, in Nebraska alone. April
" is Secretary Morton 8 birthday. In Texas. Ala
bama and Oklahoma, February % has been
adopted as Arbor day. The observance occurs
most frequently in April, though in many of
the states the date is variable. depending gen.
orally upon the action of the governor or the
legislature. and sometimes OF the superintend-
ent Of public instruction.

THE KHEpIyE OF EGYPT.

speedily found that the simple. plain advice
Did not go very far with n monarch and peo-
pie who had foolishly imbibcd the idea that the
country belonged TO them. and as early as
January, 81. Earl Granville was obliged to
give his definition of advice" to the English
minister at Cairo. This time he said: Il
hardly need point out that on important dues-
Cons. where the administration and safety of
Egypt are at stake, it is indispensable that her
majesty's government should. so long as the
provisional occupation OF the country by
English troops continues, be assured that the
advice which after full consideration of the
views OF the Egyptian government. they may
feel 1t their duty to tender to the khedive
shall be followed" &C.
Here was a new kind OF advice with a
vengeance. All We going to give you is
advice. 1lr. khedive. but If You don't follow
our advice-well, you see these troops and YOU
know what they can do"
IL must be said that the English occupation
OF Egypt has done wonders for the country In
The way OF developing resources. increasing
the water supply. which is the breath of life TO
the land, making native army and stopping
abuses.
THE CIVILIZATIONS.
There are other things that prick Egypt
deeper than the presence of a few thousand
relocated soldiers. As has tbeen said, Egypt

snitan an annual tribute of about 80. 400. 0OO.

foreigners living in the empire. but which
have grown 10 mighty size and the small
affairs which at one time were given BIZ the
sultans az a favor are now vigorously de-
nanded as right by the great powers.
By these capitulations all sorts of privileges
are granted foreigners in Egypt which are de-
MED natives. For instance foreigners are
practically free from taxation the inviolability
OF their domicile Is almost absolute. and they
are exempt from the Jurisdiction of the local
courts. The state of affairs that such condi-
tons bring about in a country where. in COM
parison. the foreign population is immense,
can only be compared with chaos. For in
stance. In order to enter the house OF for
eigner, for his arrest or other purpose, the
consul of the country to which the foreigner
belongs must be present Again, foreigners
charged with a criminal offense must be tried
by their consuls or by some competent court
OF their own country. Such restrictions as
these result in multiplying to a large extent,
and for considerable portion of the popula-
ton, the municipal laws of the land. In too
many cases when an arrest Is to be made
the consul whose presence is necessary to
effect an entrance has disappeared, and where
consuls have authority to try cases they
only too apt to be found partial to their own
countrymen. The foreign offenders. it must be
understood. are tried by the laws of their own
country, and further complication arises
from the fact that often an offense against
Egyptian law has no penalty attached in the
laws of the offenders country.
Up to 1876 like complicated and anomalous
condition existed in regard to civil law. but in
that year through the consent of all the powers
the mixed tribunals we're constituted which
consist Of natives and foreigners the former
always predominating. which are authorized
to try civil suits arising with foreigners.
CURIOUS TAXATION.
From an Egyptian standpoint the immunity
OF foreigners from nearly all taxation is an
evil of great extent and means n larger loss
each year to the treasury. Up - short time
ago the ONLY tax to which foreigners were sab
ject vas the land tax Lately, after years
spent IN securing the consent OF the powers
tie house tax WAS extended TO ALL Afterws-d
an effort was made 20 extend the license tax to
foreigners. but such loud cutlery arose from
the foreign population that tie government
began TO draw back, but found they had
already gone too far. The native Egyptians
had been awakened by the stir and hustle to

good story related by an English bishop il
going the rounds. He says that at one time
he entertained to dinner party Of American
bishops. Before retiring to rest he visited
their bed rooms, and found all the bishops in
the same misunderstanding on the hearth rug
and smoking up the chimney.
Apropos Of this tale, an Edinburgh contenn-
porary declares that any one visiting the smoke
room of the assemblies of Scotch churches
would be surprised TO find how many ministers
smoke. DIR. Norman Macleod, who is fond OF
his cigarette. has been heard to observe that il
smoking were allowed in the assembly there
would be much less talking and business would
be greatly facilitated.

Where the Telegraph 10 Least Used.

FROM the Hartford Conrsnt.
The four countries in the world which pos
sess the smallest telegraph facilities are Peru,
Paraguay, Uruguay and Persia. In the frss
named there are only thirty-six telegraph Offices
in the whole country and but LOCO miles OF
wire In the territory of Paraguay there are
only $40 miles of wire in operation and the en-
tire Geographic service of that country requires
the services of but twenty-eIght persons. One
line of $50 miles, owned and operated by the
government runs from Asuncion TO Paso DE
Patria. the limit of Paraguayan territory, and
the other $50 miles by the railroad from Asun-
cion to Pirapo. Owing to high water and
csmpfres in that country the line is often IN
terrupted for DAVIS at a time. At paso de Patris
the line breaks, there being cable over the
Alto parana river. which is three miles wide.
Communication is therefore by canoe, which
takes messages over in the morning 10 the
Argentine side and returns to the Paraguayaa
side at night. An important telegram is ofbsa

What Are Household Dutsese

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher in Godey,s
A thorough knowledge OF all that is Thought
necessary to good housekeeping, ard the manual
labor included, are too often accepted - the
sum total of all that is called household duties
This is, unquestionably. very important, and
demands a clear and definite knowledge Of every
important item. But it Is a great mistake to
rest satisfied that this is all II is but . very
small part of the duties which we think eyerv
good housekeeper should feel must be accepted
by her.
To keep every part of the house spotlessly
clean. or to direct servants so as 70 secure such
results-to have the whitest and most delicious
bread-ths tenderest pastry-the sweetest but
ter-to knit and sew-to wash and iron-are
not the easiest things to accomplish. She who
Is capable of doing, or securing this done, has
begun we'll II is Of great importance, and
quiet indispensable, yet il is but rudimentary,
laying oniv a small portion of the foundation.
IL, stopping here, the housekeeper is satisfied
that il is enough to have proved herself capa-
BILE of performing this part of her duties in
an unexceptionable manner. let her remember
that a hireling might be found who-not for
plish all this equally well Butthere are higher
duties belonging TO her portion. the perform
ance OF which no money can secure.
To build a house-there is much more to be
done than to dig the cellar-It must be walled
up, and TO do this the stone or brick and the
mortar to hold all together securely, must DO
provided. Is that all? No. The foundations
are to be laid, and whatever the material. all
must be held fast by some strong, adhesive
power. On this foundation the walls gradually
ascend. But can they stand unaidcd? The
beams, the ioists, the laths, the nails and
plaster. are all indispensable.
IL, then, all this fitness aud adhesion are
absolutely necessary when one builds q house
of inanimate substances. how much more so
when one attempts TO construct q household Of
sentient. living materials, in which, more than
in any other structure, every part has its own
individual importance, and to be perfect, every
part must be hsrmoniously blended, for on this
harmony the whole depends for beauty, sym-
metry ard strength-almost for existence.
As this building rises in fair proportions, you
will soon learn that its safety must depend on
the strength and durability of the adhesive
properties of each individual part, for thai
alone can bind il indissolubly together.
