FASHIONS FANCIES.

Flash light pictures of dinner parties
are quite in order all along the line.
Up to date the only thing that is not
manufactured in silver for womens
use is corset steels.
The latest fashion in hair dressing
allows for an ornament being placed
vertically, cutting it directly in two.
Over dozen American maidens and
two widows are at present matrimon-

The newest fad is a bright red rain
umbrella. The red is of a bright red
hue, the handle heavy, with gold knob,
and the general effect exceedingly
good.
Some of the cotillion favors distribut-
ed at New York fashionable dances are
thought by experts to be worth as
much as six and ten cents each at
retail.
White satin slippers will be again in
vogue this season. They will be
trimmed with buckles of Rhinestone,
sunk in deep toned bows correspond

In corlxscrews, pair OF miniature

and manicure knives and files are
shown in dozen designs, with sterling
silver handles and equipments of the

There is no telling of the numerous
and fanciful fruit knives, forks and
spoons in silver gilt with Dresden
china handles. Almost all have a
curious bend in the handle, which
seems to be the last struggle for
novelty.

A Position. tho Possessor OF which May
Control Much Territory.
To the trained military eye Egypt
presents itself as the eastern bastion
of the i'll shaped African continent
bastion naturally strong and capa-
BILE OF resisting attack, whose broad
meats are the Mediterranean and the
Red sea, together with the dry moat
of the desert. The bastion at once
commands the narrow strip of coast
extending to Tripoli and the curtain
stretching along the Libyan desert to
the Soudan. 1t sweeps the peninsula
of Sinai and its influence covers the
whole coast of Syria from south to
north. The profile of this Egyptian
bastion is so shaped, according to the
Contemporary Review, that its fortu-
nate possessor either has dom.
mated or will dominate Trip
oil. Syria and Arabia. The
weakest side of the fortress is the
south, where it overlooks Nubia and
Abyssinia, the African Switzerland,
where no laurels are to be won, but
on account of its arid wastes armies
may readily be lost. So it was in
1888, when Hicks Pasha persisted at
the three days fight OF Obeid, and
none of all his troops were saved ex-
cept the reserve commanded by Ala
addin Pasha. Even the Nile expedi-
ton of the victor of Tel-el-Keber,
undertaken to rescue the heroic Cor
don, in spite of the support it OBJ
tanned from advancing alongside the
river, and in spite of the remarkable
gallantry and endurance of the officers
and men, had to exhaust itself against
the same difficulties which the Per-
sian King Cambyses was unable to
overcome 1000 years before.
Cambyses went up the Nile in order
to take possession Of Ethiopia. but
his victuals soon ran down, he could
| get no water to quench the fiery
thirst of the climate, and when the
soldiers began to cast lots which OF
them should be eaten by the rest, the
king returned to Thebes and Memphis.
The traces of both expeditions have
been blown away by the sand of the
Soudan. The difficulties they encoun-
tered were the hostile hot climate,
which parches every living thing and
the wild character and the tough
make of the inhabitants; for if the
desert has a limit it has no obstacles
that are insurmountable to men who
have the camel's power Of living or
little, and can go for months together
on nothing but maize cakes. Then
the elastic method of fighting of the
Soudanese, their cunning tactics, are
all devised for the purpose of exhaust
ing the enemy, first by fatigue, in
order thus to annihilate him, for their
own forces quickly come together
again after they have been scattered
like sand. Nevertheless, history has
shown incontestably that the Soudan,
which has already drunk in so much
blood, is so closely bound up with
Egypt that no complete settlement OF
the Egyptian question is possible with.

Here Is a Real New Kind.

A queer looking specimen of hu.
mainly passed through Portland re.
Gently, bound for Boston. An
old man, well dressed, with long
white hair and flowing beard, entered
the train at Augusta and walked up
and down the aisle with his hat
cooked on the side of his head. His
appearance was ludicrous from the
fact that one side of his head and
face was clean shaver. He was to
go to Boston and stay over night at a
hotel and return the next day with
his hair and beard trimmed in that
way as the result OF an election bet.

These musings occupied him while
he dressed, and accompanied him into
the lobby of the house. The door
stood open on the garden. Doubtless
Alan had stepped forth, and John did
as he supposed his friend had done.
The ground was hard as iron, the
frost still rigorous. AS he brushed
among the hollies, icicles jingled and
glittered in their fall; and wherever
he went volley of eager sparrows
followed him. Here were Christmas
weather and Christmas morning duly
met, to the delight of children. This
was the day of reunited families, the
day to which he had so long looked
forward, thinking to awake in his
own bed in Randolph Crescent recon-
ciled with all men and repeating the
footprints of his youth; and here he
was alone, pacing the alleys of a
wintry garden and filled with pen
itential thoughts.
And that reminded him: Why was
he alone? And where was Alanp The
Thought of the festal morning and
the due salutations reawalened his
desire for his friend, and he began to
call for him by name. AS the sound
of his voice died away, he was aware
of the greatness of the silence that
environed him. But for the twitter-
ing of the sparrows and the crunch
ing Of his own feet upon the frozen
snow, the whole MINDLESS world Of
n n -
stiffness weighed upon his mind with
horror OF solitude.
