The Nile valley is now receiving a good deal of attention from geologists At q recent meeting of the London Geological society. Captain H. G. Lyons, of the Royal Engineers. read a paper in which he maintained that it was carved out by the river in the miocene period. The course of the river above Cairo seems to have been de- termined by 8 great fault, which fol- lows the valley for many miles 'up- ward. Captain Lyons regards all the sandstone of the Nubian region as an estuarine deposit, formed on an area hfterward gradually invaded by the cretaceous sea. A series of folds runs through this bed of sandstone, and along them occur many springs of the bases, the water-bearing beds being brought by them nearer to the sur face.

1t is both amusing and alarming
to hear some deluded Republican
brother, who has wandered, for the
half of forty years, in the wilder
Dess of contraction, falling prices,
debt, mortgage and consequent
woe, take JUNCTION unto himself and
ridicule what he is pleased to call
good Democratic times. If such a
one were cOnversant with the facts,
he would know that, although the
Democrats hold the rcins, with
Grover Cleveland as driver, the Re-
publicans are in the band wagon,
with John Sherman and Tom Reed
as whippers. 1t is only a change
of occupation for the leaders; the
results are the same. Peoples Adj

audience at the Fifth Street opera
house in Kansas City, few nights
ago, on the subject of "Give us
Bread or Give us Work or, the
Causes OF Hard Times" She spoke
under the auspices of the local
equal suffrage association, and the
opera house was profusely deco
rated with equal rights colors. One
lace sunfvwer graced the centre OF
a large rosette made of yellow bunt-
ing. The lecture lasted over two
hours, and the speaker endeavored
to show her audience "the way
out" Mrs. Cougar said, among
other things:
1--WE Americans are so fortunate
ly situated that we may have luxu-
ries and perfect freedom. We now
have freedom for one half the peo-
ple at the ballot box, and will have
for the other half before we get
through with this trouble. We
don't have to compete with over
population. | don't think that
God made mistake by putting one
human more in this country than
could be sustained but, notvith-
standing this, to-day there are
1000, 900 homes IN suffering and
5000, 900 men in enforced idleness. "
The speaker at this point devoted
some time in detailing her expert
ence in the past winter among the
idle in several large cities.
The increasing poverty and deg
radiation in our great cities will
prove dynamite soon under our pub
lie institutions. When wealth is
concentrated in the hands OF few,
it produces suffering, degradation,
and increases the national debt.
This was not done during Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration. The laws
governing the distribution of pub
lie lands arc unjust and dangerous.
They give the private spectators,
foreign corporations. railroads and
syndicates too much advantage
over the American people, to whom
it rightly belongs, and especially
the idle men of to-day. If it were
in the power of these schemers to
get possession of the sunshine and
the fresh air, they would bottle it
and then give the common people
the privilege of purchasing it or
dying"
The speaker spoke very strongly
in favor of fiat money, and declared
the repeal of the Sherman silver law
was infamous legislation"
On the tariff she considered both
old parties as high protectionists.

all to live to the ripe old age of $50, he

Methods of Sea Doctors.

1t is related that a lieutenant in COM
mand of one of her majesty's gunboats
deemed the responsibility of the charge
of a medicine chest too much for him.
Immediately she was off soundings the
gallant officer mustered all hands and
divided the contents of the chest equally,
SO that each had "his whack and ma
mair." There are two other naval yarns
in this connection well worth mention
ing.
A man-of-war doctor whose name is
unfortunately lost to posterity had a
simple method of locating a mans all
ment and alternating it (save the markD
by drastic and infalhble remedies. He
would tie a piece Of tape around the
waist of the complaining mariner, and
command him to declare whether his
pain existed above or below the tape. If
above an ernetic, if below a dose of salts
followed as a matter of course.-Pall

How the Tea Plant Started.

AS you drink a cup of tea do you ever
think how tea came to grow? Tell your
next visitor the story. A Persian prince,
on his way to meet his betrothed, vowed
that he would not sleep until he saw
her. After travelling seven days, he
stopped to rest under a shade tree, and
there, being no longer able to resist the
temptation, he fell into a sound sleep.
When he awakened he was so sorry
that he cut off his eyelids and threw
them on the ground. From them grew
the tea plant. It is rather unfortunate
that the story stops here, because it
would be interesting to know what the
lady thought of a sweetheart without
eyelids, and whether it would be posi-
BILE for them to grow again.-New York

n UNKISSED KISS.

Ihave kissed the girls a-plenty.
Aged from one year old to twenty,
Kisses better far than honey, I can taste thea
sweetness yet;
But far dearer than the kisses
Given me by kindly misses
L. the ever veTdant mem'ryo Of o kiss / did not
get.
For one winsome little fairy,
With a grace so light and airy,
Kept me ever fondly saying, I'll achieve my
purpose yet"
But at length she shyly vanished
With the gift for which l famished,
And she left me sadly signing for the kiss l dc
not get.
Reader, pardon this depression,
Does pursuit or does possession
The greater pleasure bring? l really cannot
say, and yet
I've forgotten many misses
Who bestowed on me their kisses,
But I'll always recollect the girl whose kiss !
did not get.
Now, of course, there is a moral
In this simple story for all
indiscreet young ladies, who will some
times much regret
That they gave their kisses freely,
For they'll find a lover really
May remember more than all the rest the
kiss he did not get.

Sat Upon by an Ostrich.

A gentleman had a theory that any
creature, however savage, could be sub
dued-''quelled," as he said, by the hui
man eye. One day he tried to quell one
of his own ostriches, with the result that
he was presently found in a very pitia-
bic predicament, lying fat on the
ground, while the subject Of his ex-
pertinent jumped up and down on him,
occasionally varying the treatment by
sitting upon him. Doubtless it was
safer to lie down than to stand up to be
kicked, but to be sat upon as if one
were an egg must have been indeed hu-
miliating.-London Spectator.
