THE lsRAELiTE IN EGYPT.


doced in the bible.
A correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian writes: Perhaps hardly any
tale of ancient times has come down
to US SO well accredited as to Its main
facts as the story of the sojourn Of the
fsraelites in Egypt, their wanlerinrs
in the desert, and the slow and painful
evolution among them of q higher forsc
of religious faith, and yet, if we are to
believe Profs. D. Stade ("Geschichte
dess Vollzes Israel') and f. Meyer

the Israelites never were in Egypt ut
all. "All that we road of their history

however, has arisen for She old stofy
in far Japan, whence Prof. L. Riess
sends paper to the Preussishe Jahr-
bucher (December) discussing at some
length Profs Stade and Meyers ;ls.rt-
ments, ana giving his own attempt at
rationalistic version of the Bible
story. He dismissed as untenable their
argument from the silence of the
Egyptian records why, he pertinent

LARGE SAILING SHIPS.


Receut Buiid.
The largest sailing ship ahoat is the
French fivc-master La France, launched
in 1890 on the Clyde, and owned by
Messrs. Ant Dom Bordes ct Ellis, who
possess large feet of sailing vessels.
In 1891 she came from Iquique to Dun
kirk in los days, with 5000 tons of
nitrate, yet she was stopped on the
Tyne when proceeding to sea with $500
tons of coal and compelled to take out
500 tons on the ground that she was

ABOUT WILD BoARs.

as Inspected Ia a Geological Garden tns
Animals Show Good Points.
: A wild boar is always pictured as a
ferocious beast, and hunters aarec tina
they would as soon meet a lion. Blu.
young wild boars are far pretticr tina,
anyone would suspect, says Golden
Days.
In their wild state, however, no one
has had an opportunity to inspect
them closely, and it is only in a zoo
lNrical ~arSlen that their good points
can be appreciated.
Their bodies are slim and elegant.
their snonts fire, their ears short and
their legs and feet almost as finely
shaped as those of young antelope.
Their color is a bright fawn or a
rich tan, with longitudinal stripes like
those of a tabby kitten; and, in place
of the thick bristles Of the other pigs.
their bodies are covered with long
and thick coat of rough hair.
Family life in the wild boars' quar-
ters is harmonious and alausing. For
the flrstmonth the little orange-striped
pigs depend on their mother for 1ool. /
and take no notice either of visitors or
of each other.
Each roams about by itself in 4 most
independent fashion, or drops down to
sleep on its stomach, with its legs
straight out before and be-
hind like lfneeling elephant in min
iature.
Later, when they have to be sntis-
fed with the food provided IN the
tronghs, they become the most anus
ing and iinportunate beggai,s in the
zoo, the old COW and boar s2ttine the
sxsnple, well supported by the little
pigs.
The whole family stand upright on
heir hind legs in Il row, with their
ore feet against the rails, and squeak,
'runt and even climb the wire netting
or contributions.
Even If the door is littcrel with de-
lcious hog-wash, they prefer to be fed

Close Conlncmsnt.
When Prince George of Wa les was a
midshipman on the Canada, one of his
old shipfnates writes to the Youths
Companion, he delighted in escaping
from the supervision of the captain
and physician. This was not because
the boy was a bad boy, or one who re-
belled against the rigid discipline TO
which he was held like any other mid
dy, but because the captain and doctor
watched over him with the solicitule
of grandmother. The prince could
not act freely like any other MILDLY
without exciting their anxiety lest he
should fall overheard or make himself
sick
One day, off the lonely coast of New
foundland, part of the ships company
got leave to go seine-fshing and, for q
wonder, the captain permitted the
prince to go, too. We pulled q long

of Eushel of Corn.
Illinois is the great corn state and
Peoria is the center of its most prolific
belt Peoria is great grain market
and especially for corn. Vast quanti-
ties of the golden grain are shipped
into that city for general distribution
and loaded into it's mammoth eleva-
tors by the hundreds of thousands of
bushels. A great deal of corn is shipped
from Peoria, but vast quantity is
used there. There is more corn used
IN Peoria than in any three cities in
the union, even though these cities be
New York, Philadelphia and Chicago.
The reason is obvious, says the Peoria
Herald. Peoria is not only the center
of the great distilling interests, But
there are located two of the greatest
sugar houses in the country. Down
the capaclous maws of the great dis I
tiileries are poured every day 1000
bushels of corn. The sugar houses

use from 5000 to 10000 bushels more
each day in the year To supply the
constant demand the product OF 1000
acres of rich corn la nds is daily shipped
into Peoria for home consumption.
Aside from these there are fully 5000
bushels used daily for other purposes.
SO that it is safe to estimate that fully
9,o0O,o 900 bushels of corn are used in
that city annually for manufacturing
and other purposes, The greater part
! of this is manufactured into spirits.

y'hey are other than financial. But
consider simply the mere element of
vaiue. Corn was sold the other day in
Peoria for IS cents per busnel. 1t came
all the way from Nebraska, perhaps,
where it brought but 25 cents In
transit two dealers received commits
sion of cent each. The railroad com
pany received cents for its freight
and other charges. The distiiler paid
SO cents. He took and converted it
into four and a half gallons of finished
spirits and fed one of his steers on the |
refuse. The distiiler sold the spirits to
local dealer for 50, II, of which Uncle |
Sam received 81. Us as tax on the spr- |

Tailless Cats Which Founded Community

Long Beach, the narrow strip of sand
seven miles from the mainland on
which the village of Beach Haven,
N. j., stands, contains the only tribe
of tailless cats in the United States.
These cats were not detailed, says a
correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. They were born without
tails. Early in this century a large
English brig was wrecked on that
part of the Jersey coast. She became
total wreck, but the sailors lives
were saved, and so were the lives of
lot of cats. These felines came from
the Isle of Man and belonged to a
curious breed found only on that
island known as Manx cats. At first
the animals were quite tame, and fire.

where they nightly held open-air con

to merit the appreciation of the

in their being driven away. The
felines took to the woods and managed
to subsist during the first winter on
birds, thousands of which lived in the |
swamps. The cats increased rap

few years small packs of them [

the same order of things will be con-

The weather here to-day was delight

did not leave any mark on the track.
IT was dry and fast. This being an ex-

promised to be interesting.
The rule compelling owners to pay 10
