WHERE is ENoLAND's FLAOT"

And the winds of the world made answer,
North south and east and west:
wherever there's wealth to covet.
Or land that can be possessed;
Wherever are savage races
To cozen, coerce and scare,
We shall find the Wanted ensign;
For the English flag is there.
AVE. IT waves DER the blazing novels
Whence African victims fly.
To be shot by explosive bullets,
Or to wretchedly starve and die!
And where the beachcomber harries
The isles of the southern sea,
At the peak of his hellish vessel
IT'S the English flag fies free.
1.-THE Maori full oft hath cursed II
With his bitterest dying breath;
And the Arab has Kissed his hatred
AS he splits at it's folds in death.
The hapless fellah has feared 1t
On Tel-el-Kebir's parched plain,
And the Zulu's blood has stained IL
With a deep, indelible stain.
eft has foated DER scenes of pillage,
II has Haunted DER deeds of shame,
IL has waved DER the fell marauder,
AS he ravished with sword and flame.
II has looked upon ruthless slaughter,
And massacres dire and grim;
IT has heard the shrieks of the victims
Drown even the lingo hymn.
.swhere is the flag of England?
seek We the lands where the natives
rot;
Where decay and assured extinction
Must soon be the peoples lot.
Go! search for the once-glad ISLANDS.
Where diseases and death are rife.

Now battens on human life!
"yhere is the flag of England?
Go, sail where rich galleons come

And beer and Bibles and rum;

And hypocrisy makes its lair;

For the flag of England is there!

THE SEA OF SAND.
Marco Polo's Account Of the Great Des-
ert of Gobi

e-t of Cobb,
Lop is large town at the edge of
the desert, which is called the Desert
of Lop, and is situated between east
and northeast. 1t belongs to the Great
Kaan, and the people worship Ma
homet. Now, such persons as propose
to cross the desert take a weeks rest
in this town to refresh themselves and
their cattle; and then they make ready
for the journey, taking with them
months supply for man and beost.
On quitting this city they enter the
desert.
The length of this desert is so great
that it is said it would take year and
more to ride from one end of it to the
other And here, where its breadth is
least, it takes month to cross it. It
is all composed of hills and valleys of
sand, and not thing to cat is to be
found on it. But after riding for a
day and night you find fresh water,
enough mayhap for some so or 100
persons with their beasts, but not for
more. And all across the desert YOU
will find water in like manner, that is
to say, in some 2S places altogether
you will find good water, but in no
great quact.ty; and in four places also
you find trackish water.
Beasts there are none; for there is
naught for them to eat. But there is
marvellous thing related of this desert.
which is that when travellers are on
the move ty night, and one of them
chances to lag behind or to fall asleep
or the like, when he tries to ran h 6
company again he will hear spll.c
talking, and will suppose them to be
his comrades. Sometimes the s1;r.ts
wiHAcall him by name; and thus shall
= Traveller oftt.mes be led astray so that
he never finds his party. And in this
way many have Terished. Sometimes
the stray travellers will hear as Il were
the tramp ard hum of great cavGlcade
of People away from the zeal lire Of
road, and taking this to Lc Their OWE
company they will follow the s,u-L;
and when day breks they find that
cheat has been put on them ard thc
they are in an ill plight Even in Il,
daytime one hears those spirits TALL

caused the overflow of the storm drain

end of the main discharge pipe, thus
causing the water to back up and over
flow. This has now been remedied and

EGYPTIAN COTTON CROP.
Planters Have Increased the Aren of
the Maximum Limit.

Frederic C. Penfield, United States diplo-
matte agent and consul general at Cairo,
sends forecast of the Egyptian cotton
crop for 1S96a7 to the State Department.
BE says that, inspired by the high prices
realized by the cotton crop of 1895 90,
Egyptian planters have increased the area
this spring to the maximum limit permitted
by the country 'sirriga ton facilities. Exact
figures are not procurable, but it is es-
timated that the increase of acrea ge is from
to Fer cent, and that this seasons area
approximates 1,150,0O0 acres.
The greatest percentage of increase is in
the provinces south of Cairo. Conservative
forecasters believe the crop will yield
10000 bales of 750 pounds, being the
equivalent of 1,12o,OOO American bales,
and the largest ever raised in the Nile
valley.
Predicated on the yearly increase of ship
ments to America 1t is probable that the
United States will buy $4,000 bales, equal
to about 1 90 0 bales oil American weight,
of the next Egyptian crop.

Flynn was not in the rebellion, but he has
seen hard service on the frontier, and was
in the flying column that swung after the
Sioux who massacred Custer and his men
at the Little Big Horn. Flynn recounted
Some thrilling adventures in his campaigns
against the Indians, and it pleased Dan to
be skeptical.
