Now that the waters OF the Niagara
have been made tributary to human
enterprise. il may be interesting 20 n oto
that a similar undertaking is contem-
plated in Egypt. The general inspector
Of public works. Mr.. Prompt, has just
submitted to the Egyptian government
the results of his Investigations during
the last eight months relative 70 tho
utilization of the cataracts of the Nile
for Agricultural and mechanical pur-
poses. His project includes an i'm
mense reservoir in upper Egypt which
will permit the culture of cane sugar
and cotton in the place Of cereals In
the furtherance Of the realization OF
this project he proposes TO establish an
electric power station near ASsuan,
where a fall Of forty-fve feet will be
utilized This station would furnish
4o, 900 horse power. besides furnishing
900, coo. 600 cubic yards Of wafer for ir-
rigation. A ffteen-foot dam Is 70 be
built across the Nile Just ADORE Cairo,
which would furnish both light and

Nothing IN life Is more interesting
than the evolution and the following
tnvolution Of the summer girl. I have
seen her for two months past at New
port and Narragansett, at Bar Harbor
and Lenox, 1T Saratoga, ON Lake
George and up the wilds of the Adiron-
dacks, and everywhere the process has
been the same. The stage or the steam
er or the railway train deposits at the
inn-to be an inn, instead of merely .
hotel, Is worth at the lowest reckoning
two dollars a day more in the bill-a
quietly-dressed city girl, yelled, gloved,
tailor-made, frigidly reserved. With
the morning after her arrival away
goes the severe frock and togue and
out comes rough straw hat and some
thing fluffy In blue and white lawn.
On tho second day there are bare
hands. On the third day there is no
veil. BY the fourth day the hat is
tilted well back upon the head and by
the fourth evening the girl begins to
sing choruses out Of doors By the fifth
day she gets happy-go-lucky, holiday
swing TO her walk, and before the week
is out she has learned to scramble to
the top Of q rock or to sit On the rail at
the boat landing with her feet swing
ing. With the second week her voice
gets louder, her manner more pro-
nounced and she makes odd little at
teinpts to run. In three weeks she is a
rollicking hoyden, and in four-she is
apt TO go home or to shift her quarters
by that time-she Is so sunbrowned and
rosy that when the toque and the tail
or gown and the gloves and the veil

If the branch that is joined to the root
Is long enough and not too crooked the
cane and handle are of one piece, but,
as is the case in many instances, the
branch has to be severed from the root,

The favorite among Germans Is the
Weischel. It is cut from q wild cherry
that is said to grow only in the Black
forest. Naturally this stick is very
crooked and gnarled. In order to get
straight sticks the German peasants
build frames around the trees and train
the young shoots upon them by fasten-
ing strings to the tip ends, passing
them over pulleya A light weight is
attached to the other end of the string,
and as the branch grows stronger the
weight is increased. The genuine
Welschel is distlnQuishable by it's pun
gent odor which comes from the end Of |

One of the most startling novelties re-

In the natural woods. such as the
Weichscl and Pimento. the ornamental

coils of silver and gold ornaments.
These applied pieces of metal are often
engraved in fanciful designs. but the
plain polished surfaces contrast very
well with the natural wood. A novelty
for Nalacca has snake coiled about
the upper end, and his projecting head
as in the act Of striking at foe serves
as a handle. Some who have their
canes made TO order have added to the
realism Of the snake by having it
