Birds in EgYpt.


1t is delightful to note the taNeness OF
the birds of Egypt. They enter rooms
and houses through windows or crew
ices left for ventilation, and, once in.
side, hop fearlessly about the floor
picking up stray crumbs. 1 have seen
and the sight was a pretty one-a
sparrow perched on the corner Of O
table during the progress of a crowded
hotel repast; and it is not uncommon tc
see them fitting across the ceilings OF
drawing-rooms at Luxor.
All birds, from largest to the small
est, 60 unmolested, unless they are
definitely useful for food. The great
brown kite sits fearlessly on the roofs
of Cairo, hard by his cousin, the crow
which is not black, like our crow, but
is black and gray, and might easily be
mistaken for pigeon. Every garden
at any rate, in Upper Egypt--has its owI

ing or whistling as Nature guides 1t.

How High Can Wall Be Built?

The material of the brick enters into
the calculation Of the crushing weight
of the wall If the wall Is wholly Of
brick, its height must be less than II
stone ties are introduced occasionally
to distribute the weight. We do not
believe that any definite height OF
brick wall has yet been found to cause
a crushing weight For all ordinary
purposes brick wall can be raised to
any desired height. In the modern OF
flee buildings, where space is valuable,
brick can not be used, because a wall
Of brick must be made very thick IL 1t
is to be very high, and the thickness Of
the walls reduces office space and rent
ais. In such buildings the partition
walls and floors are of hollow fire brick,
which is light, but which will be ex-
posed to no especial strain. The weight
Of the building is carried by the steel
frame, and the walls are simply skins
to protect the rooms from the weather.
Each floor is complete in itself, its walls
being carried not on the walls below,
but on its own Orders.

The graves Of Walker Blaine and his

there is neither monument nor inscrip-

mans wish, his only monument. The
tree was a magnificent hickory, one of
the many of its kind that divide the
honors of the hillside with the magnifi-
cent oaks that give the cemetery its
name.
The absence of monument is not a
sign of neglect, but was his own re-
quest. Upon the death of his favorite
son, Walker Blaine, the then Secretary
of State selected lot in Oak Hill Gene

Nexada,s Musical Mountain.

In the old Truckee mining district,
down the Truckee River, near Pyramid
Lake, is situated Nevada's musical
mountain. This mountain was first
discovered by the white settlers in
1863, at which time there was some ex-
element in regard to the mines found
in the neighborhood. The discoveries
were party Of prospectors from Com
stock. They had pitched their tent ut
the foot of the mountain, and for few
evenings thought themselves be-
witched, says the Virginia City Enter
prise. Each evening little after dark,
when the air was calm and all was
quiet, a mysterious concert began. Out
from the face of the big mountain We're
waited soft strains that seemed to
cause the whole atmosphere to culver
as they floated over the camp. The mu-
sic then appeared to pass over until it
was far, far away, and almost lost in
the distance, when, beginning with n
twinkling as Of many little silver bells,
there would be fresh gust Of sweet
notes from the mountain.

Rismarck,s Retort.

Berlin newspapers publish an anec.
dote of the late Duke Ernst Of Saxe-Co-
burg Gotha and Prince Bismarck. One
evening when the German troops were
before Paris the Duke began grumbling
in Bismarck's presence because the
iron cross of the first class, given for
bravery on the field of battle, had been
distributed too Unfortunately. Bis
marck replied that the distribution OF
such decorations was always delicate
and difficult task, 'for," said he, "con-
spicuous merit has to be rewarded, bnt
in some cases, conspicuous position,
with or without merit, cannot well be
overlooked. See, now" he added,
"Moltke has it, Room has it, Blumen-
thai has 1t. Excellent! But then-your
Highness and have 1t, too, and surely
1t is not for us to grumble."

philadelphia Complacency

Philadelphia is a good place to oh
serve the oblivion of the rest Of the hui
man race by the select few. At the time
of the willing Astor wedding Walnut
street was filled by the curious, vulgar
crowd that q much-talked-of function
brings together. The long line Of car.
riages filed the street, and to reach
them young girls in their sumptuous
costumes walked bareheaded down the
street, talking and laughing loudly and
apparently unconscious that there was

themselves. To mention Philadelphia
is to recall the late George HI. Boxer.

marked his middle years. Save for his
rather unimportant connections with
the diplomatic service. his whole lifoi

terprises involving not merely wealth
and aggrandizement, but empire and
the destinies of nations. The first of
these plans, the construction of the
Suez canal, was conceived In 1854, and
met with the skeptical disapproval of
nearly every agency necessary to the
success Of the enterprise. Not discour-
aged by reverses or obstacles, De Les
seps persisted In his plan with extra
ordinary firmness and courage. When
at last the canal was completed and
the first great feet sailed through In
the presence of the kings and princes
of Europe the honors showered upon
the daring engineer were without limit.

the disclosures of the Panama scan

Of Panama De Lesscps saw an oppor-

The attempt was doomed to failure,
but the public still retained its conf

SPOKE AFTER FIVE YEARS.
Young Woman Regains Her Speech
After Long Illness.

After Long Illness.
For five years Miss Nellie Fuller, a
young woman living in Plainville,
X. l., could not articulate single word.
She was teacher I'm a primary school
and one Friday night in September,
1889, on reaching home she lay down
on the sofa and said: Mother, I'm GO

Friday night has not been able to speak

she spoke aloud

suited. None of them could account
for her peculiar malady. All of them
agreed that some day she would talk |;
when, they did not know, and what
would bring about cure they were
at a loss to say.
"You do not know how strange 1t
seemed to be not to be able to talk"
said Miss Fuller. '.Try as hard as
might l couldn't make sound above

Miss Fuller said her latest medical
advisers advanced as reason for the
loss Of voice the superstition that the
arteries around the vocal cord were
compressed. The blood in these ar
teries got start and this enabled the
invalid to speak aloud.

Down at Logan County Court-House,
taineers had novel banquet. A few
days ago they voted upon the question
of dividing Logan County, and there
was an overwhelming vote in favor of
division. Thereupon a grand barbecue
was arranged to come off ut the court
house. The tables were spread in the
street and all traffic was suspended.
Hundreds of stalwart mountaineers
came in with their wives and children
from the region roundabout. Eight biz
black bears had been shot within mile
or two of the town, and their carcasses
served in barbecue style, were the piece
de resistance of the feast. The bears
were fianked and surrounded with
roasted and baked 'posum, wild tur-
keys, pheasants. quail, rabbits, and all
sorts of domestic fowls. Potatoes by
the barrel were roasted and pumpkin
pies by the hundred lined the tables.
Hard cider was the beverage. "Devil
Anse" Hatfield, the noted leader of the
Hatfield-McCoyv vendetta, was master of
ceremonies. He stood at the head of
the table with half-open valise, from
which the butts of three big revolvers
protruded. Though there is generous
price set upon Devil Anse's" head, it
is said there was not disturbing word
spoken, and that the barbecue was q
great success. The popular satisfac-
ton with the presiding officer largely
grew out of the fact there are over a
score Of graves on the adjacent hillsides
testifying to his deadly skill with those
pistols
