Military Despotism That Grew Up In
Egypt Undor Turkey.

Military Despotism Thab Grew Up IN
Egypt Undor Turkey.
The condition of Egypt at the time seeks
in vain a parallel in history. Saladln had
followed tradition of eastern despotism
in the formation of bodyguard destitute
of all tics except those which bound them
to his person. Purchased as infants in
Georgia or Circassa, they were, like the
janizaries at Constantinople, trained to
arms as an exclusive profession, and
mounted on the finest steeds of Arabia be-
camo the elito of his army. In time this
body of acute and powerful men trans
formed itself into warrior caste, was d.
vided into "a companies and obeyed no
authority except that of its captains. These
were known in oriental phrase as beys,
tho subordinates were themselves what we
call tho Mameluzcs, and the whole formed
kind of chivalry which governed the
land with despotic power, and caring moth
ing for the nominal suzerainty of the sui
tan babe defiance to his shaky authority
The first portion of Bonapartes procla-
nation sketched the evils of Mameluke
tyranny; the second called on the populace
to aid thoir lberators 1--WE, too are true
Mussulmans. Is 1t not we who have de-
stroyed the pope that said war must be
made on the Mussulmansg Is it not we
who havo destroyed the knights of Malta
because those insensate chevalicrs believed
God wanted them to make war on Mus
sulmans? Thrice happy they who are on
our sidel They shall prosper in their for
tune and in their place. Happy those who
arc neutral They shall have time to I'M
dcrstand us and shall array themselves
with us. But woc-thrico woe-to those
who shall take up arms forlhe Mamclukes
and fight against usl There shall be no
hope left for them. They shall perish.
The contrast between this language and
that which it's author had used in Italy

sincerity there was in either.-Profe

How Do You Write Ono nillion?

There is one sum expressed by the A arabic
numerals upon which the American and
the English matheniaticians have never
been able to agree-thc exact number Of
naughts to be used in expressing the sum
of 1,O00 900, 600. In this country as well
as in France and several other European
nations one billion is thousand millions
and is expressed with figure and nine
naughts, thus, 100000, 900. In England,
however, they speak of a billion as being
ga million millions" and in writing it
with Arabic characters always use n figure
and ~ naughts, thus, 1000, 600, 900, 900.
Webster appears to take the English view
of the matter, and very plainly says that IA

BOLD BURGLARS
Loot a Bank in Daylight and Get Away.
The Cashier and Teller We're
Roughly Handled. -

Duluth, Mimi, June 21.-A messenger
came in from Rainy Lake city tonight
and reported the robbery of the bank
of Rainy Lake, on the Canadian border,
by two masked men, who, after holding
up and knocking senseless the cashier
and binding the teller, robbed the bank
of some $50 900 and made their escape.
Just before the hour for closing last
night Cashier Johnson was standing
within the bank railing when suddenly
two masked men appeared and rushed
behind the counter with drawn reVolv-
ers The cashier made jump for his
gun. but before he could move foot he
was felled to the floor with club by one
of the robbers while the other burglar
lassoed the teller with a rope and threw
him to the floor, where he was bound
and gagged.
Cashier Johnson after falling to the
floor made desperate struggle and was
shot al twice by his assailant, both balls
going wild. The second robber, after
disposing of the teller, came to the as
sistanee of his companion and struck
the cashier several heavy blows on the
head with the butt of his revolver One
of the blows rendered Johnson uncon-
scious and when he regained his senses
he found himself bound, hand and root
and lying under the counter.
Several people outside the bank had
been attracted by the shots fired, but this

vault. The inside door OF the vault was
locked The robbers demanded the key
from the cashier, and as he refused gave
him several kicks in the side. By TINS
time a crowd had collected outside. The
mem hurriedly filled the front part of the
vault door with powder and touched II
off blowing the doors off and throwing
things promiscuously to the floor. The
rest was easy work. In the open safe
within the vault were packages OF pllls
and a quantity of silver amounting in all
to over $4,000. The burglars stuffed
their booty in bags brought for the pur-
| pose, and, opening the front door,
charged through the crowd assembled
The boldness and suddenness of the
deed staggered the onlookers, and the
fleeing men were a block away before
any one seemed to realize what had hap
pened They turned corner and sud
denly seemed swallowed up. BY the
time the crowd had gathered its senses
and started in pursuit the burglars were
nowhere to be seen.
A posse was at once formed and is

A WoMAN'S TEMPLE.

Unconsciously woman builds
A temple in this world below,
And day by day stone is laid
or little things that come and go.
So it doth slowly rise above
The tide Of years until its dome
Has reached the glory clouds OF heaven,
world within itself, home
She wisely builds upon the rocks
Far more eternal tlian the years,
The pavement is of solid truth,
Untouched, unworn by falling tears.
The walls are innocence and grace;
Fair virtue makes them high and strongi
Within they shine with purity,
Resound with muse and sacred song.
The gates are pearls Of truth and love,
Whence issue forth bright CLEANS of light,
Each stone little sacrifice,
And kept in place by truth and right.
The pillars are of gentle acts,
That bear the weight Of golden beams
OF life, and bound by cords of love,
And braced by faiths undying streams
Each nail heartbeat set in place;
Each Low her very center shook;
The steps are trials, stepping stones -
Where patience climbs with upward look
Tho throne, her grand eternal soul,
Her king, the one she loves, loves best;
Her altar, where sweet incense rise,
Does hold her greatest and her best.
So day by day q stone is laid.
Until the white capped dome
Is hid among the shining clouds
And she has reached her heavenly home.

A Big Kick Made.

Liverpool, June 21.-The cotton asso-
citation of this city protested to the Mer-
sey dock board against excluding cotton
from the reduction in changes recently
made on the pretext of risks and excess
sive expenses. The board replied that
Surat cotton did not involve the bill or
risk. but American cotton. besides its
liability to fire, was badly packed The
bales were needlessly bulky, occupying
large space compared with other pro-
duce. This was discreditable and dis
graceful. Nevertheless, the finance COM
mitee of the board would consider
whether reductions in the charges on
cotton were possible

that did the work are a part of an Or
ganized gang, as all. suddenly disap-
peared. At a small boarding house on
the outskirts of the town, it is learned,
shortly after the hour at which the
bank was robbed a wagon was seen go

tanning five rough looking men. This
robbery is the first of the kind that the
city ever experienced, and the excite
ment is intense. More searching parties
are being formed.
The bank is the only one in Rainy
