Prevented q Waste Of Powder.

A good story Of Major Macdonald is
told by the London Chronicle. The
plucky major commanded a battalion of
Sudanese at the battle CT Toski-brave
blacks who We're devoted to him and
loved him like a father. During that
battle they disobeyed him for the first
time. The willy dervishes had lain down
a few hundred yards from the Egyptian
force and were deliberately drawing the
fire of the latter by springing up,
waving their banners and falling prone
again in time to escape the shower of
bullets that followed. The eagerness of
the Sudanese was such that they could
not be made to see that the object of the
dervishes was to cause them to exhaust
their ammunition. Major Macdonald
exhorted, commanded, swore in his
fluent Arabic, and all to no purpose.
The blacks would "loose off, at their
enemies. So ct last, the situation becom-
ing desperate, he ran forward, and
walking down the front of the firing
line he shouted to his men, Now, if
you must fire, fire through me!''

DIR. Peters, tho "Explorer.~

Dr.. Peters once wrote book entitled
New Light Gu Dark Africa, in which
he shows us the sort Of light that his
work has thrown ON that continent In
August, 1889, he started up the Tana
river in Briti-h East Africa at the head
Of an armed force of Somali. Before the
end of that month, by the capsiz;ng OF
a canoe, he lost, among some loads Of
ammunition and brandy, "the only load
of beads possessed" He continued
his journey, as he tells Is, without
any articles of barter
He Of 4ursc had not sufficient food
with him to last fer the whole journey,
and could not have carried it if he had
In consequence, as he explains, 1.-THE
determination to advance without the
requisite articles of barter once for all
decided the character the expedition
was for the future to bear" AS the car
AVIAN was obliged to get food and had
no money with which to buy it, food
had to be stolen.
The subsequent history of the expedi-
ton is therefore one long story of raid,
loot and massacre. No traveller has fol-
lowed in Peters footsteps without feel
ing the i'll effects Of the distrust of Eu-
ropears that has resulted from his &C.
ton. The harm he did cannot be un-
done in less than generation. -Satur.

or and on . Donkey.

When we were boys our first lessons
in riding were taken on land Off the
back Of u donkey. He was a creature of
changcable, but, on the whole, amiable
disposition. When his temper gave way
before the trials to which we subjected
it, we took many lessons in that gentle
art Of falling of which is SO useful q
supplement to the science Of riding as
more generally understood. We can
make this avowal without any sense Of
shame now, for it happened once on q
day forever memorable that our donkey
kicked off our riding master himself in
all his glory Of boots and brooches.
Joe, the coachman's boy, declared all
our theory Of donkey riding to be incor-
rect, and it is significant that, though
the donkey could kick off the riding
master, boots and breeches and all, it
entirely failed to shake Joe from his
seat by any of its antics. But then Joe's
method was entirely different from that
Of the riding masters 1t was, indeed,
SO simple as scarcely to deserve the
name Of method, being contained in the
single precept that you should sit as
near the tail Of the animal as possible.
That was the sum total of his theory of
donkey riding. and it worked to perfec-
ton in practice. Our uncle, who was in
the navy, explained the mechanics Of
Joe's style of riding nautically. Its
as plain as pikestaff, said he, THAT

stern the craft isn't likely to go down

A Patent Flycatcher.

A machine for catching flies off the
backs of cattle, and so affording the ami
mails relief and comfort, has been in
vented by farmer in Madison county,
Ky. The fiycatcher is kind Of covered
pen or passageway through which the
animal must walk to secure relief. A
few feet from the entrance there is q
cupola or dome in the roof of the pas
sageway, made Of glass and arranged
as a fytrap. Beyond this the passage
is darkness. The animal walks through
the machine, and just as it passes under
the dome and enters the darkened part
a set Of brushes sweeps off the flies,
which naturally rise into tho lighted
dome, and the steer passes out at the
other side free of flies. The flies are
retained in the dome trap. The in
ventor has experimental with his ma
chine and finds that the animals soon
learn the value Of the machine and
know enough to walk through it when
the flies begin to bite. The device has
been patented.

And uoW It Might Be Endangered In Ger.
tain War Contingencies.
Strong as the. English war feet is, it
is very far from being strong enough to
successfully engage a possible combina-
tion Of fleets and at the same time pro-
tect our sea torne food supply. IF the
United States and Russia declared war
with England, there would practically
be no food supply left to protect. They
would keep the immense supplies we
now get from them at home, and the
fear of capture or destruction would ef-
fectually prevent Argentina and other
neutrals from sending food to US in any
sufficient quantity.
What is wanted is that, instead of
only o precarious weeks supply, we
should have stored up in this country
enough corn to last for at least IL
months. Experts in the corn trade agree
that there would be no insuperable diff
Guilty in gradually accumulating this
store of corn. 1t would be for experts to
advise as to the best methods and places
Of storage.
Perhaps the best plan would be to dis
tribute it over the country in magazines
at the military depots, giving the mill
tary authorities charge Of it, but if it
was in the country and safe it would
not so much matter where it was. Al
though most of our corn is made into
-four at the great ports, it would not be
wise, seeing that most Of them are so
defenseless, to store it there.
The entire control and management
Of this great national store Of corn
should be under some permanent gov
eminent department. Although its exist
ence could not fail to have steadying
effect on the corn market, it should be
outside all speculative influences, the
price at which it would be sold, when
necessary to sell it, being fixed by law.
It would be no sacrifice, in the long
run, for the country to provide such o
reserve Of food, as it would always DO
worth its cost.
Other nations accumulate gold for
use in wartime. We should have q war
chest of corn. IF we have it, what will
it do?
It will give our navy time to devote
itself to the crushing of the navy or ma
vies opposed to us. twill give us time,
with our great resources, to augment
our fighting feet to almost any extent,
and it will give our farmers time to
grow three or four times as much corn
and breed a much larger quantity of
cattle and sheep than they now do
