The British Forces on the Nile.

Tie Egyptian army is small, but the
men comprising it are brave and trust
worthy. English officers learned
much in the terrible mnssacres that
the triumph of Ell Mahdi, and
TINS time only soldiers of proved yalor
were sent up the Nile. General Kit
chener has camel corps of over l, 900
men, a cavalry force OF 900 men, and
an infantry force of $4,000. With
these are several thousand friendly
Arabs, as wild as the dervishes to
whom they will be opposed, armed
with the best weapons that England
could supply, and animated by pro-
found hatred of the present tyrant OF
the Soudan. The troops are all armed
with the best modern weapons. The
force is provided with terrible Maxim
rapid-tire guns, which were recently
used with great effect against the Mata-
belle warriors in South Africa. These
are for close range work. For long
range the army has a number of heavy
Krupp siege guns. The transports
have been armed and are really gun
boats, carrying heavy guns, that have
proved useful in Smelling villages and
towns when the enemies were enscon-
sed. Almost three-tourths OF the
troops are Egyptians, differed by
EagIishmen, generally young men anx-
ious to gain a reputation. The rest
SIRE SUudanese, determined and fierce
lighters in close quarters and capable
marksmen. The Egyptian troops have
far better discipline than. those that
were slaughtered in 1896 Letter

DR. Tanners famous fast of forty
DAYS j, thrown into the background
as IA starvation feat by tue perform
ance of the big anaconda at the Phil
adelphia geological Gardens, which
was only recently tempted to eat a
nice lat rabbit after going hungry for
twenty-five months. 1t may have
been longer, but the keepers have no
record of the creatures doings
previous to its captivity, and
so cant tell. 1t Is not
very unusu al for snake to abstain
from food for several months, at the
end Of which time death generally re-
suits; but the anaconda case Is dis
tinctly different from any other. It's
fast lasted more than twice Ms long rs
any IN the history OF the Zoo and
during the whole of Its continuance
there was no evidence of i'll health.
The spell now seems to be entirely
broken, and the anaconda calls regu-
larly for its meals.

In Camden County, \. j., just back
of Blackwood, there Is probably the
largest single cultivated chestnut grove
in this country, and from It's $50 acres
of woodland several thousand bushels
of large chestuuts are harvested every
tall aud shipped to New York City
About ten years ago it dswned upon
farmers aud business men that money
could be made by raising chestnuts for
the market, and about that time the
trees were planted extensively through
out tue country, the fruits of which
are Just now made apparent in the de-
creased cost of chestnuts and the
heavy supply that comes to the large
cities. The grove III Camden County
was planted about five years ago
by a company which called itself
the Mammoth Chestnut Company, and
they selected fine natural grove Of
chestnut trees and then started in to
graft Gu these trees the mammoth I'M
ported chestnuts. At first the French
and Italian chestnuts, the largest kinds
that reached our markets then, were
grated upon the native trees, but
later the improved Japanese varieties
were substituted. These are the larg-
est Of all chestuuts, and they have at
tanned their present size and quality
through years OF cultivation and selec
lion. Many of the japanese chestnut
trees have been transplanted to this
country, aud they have been found
hardy enough for the New-Jersey
climate, yielding large crops of nuts
much earlier in the season than the
native chesmuts. New York Tribune.

Neither modern nor ancient history has
any counterpart of this organization. The
spirit which animates 1t, however, is the
same as that which has moved the mem
bers of the various orders of the Sisters
of Mere to follow in the wake of armies
and proffer their services on battlefields
and in army hospitals; but as complete,
thoroughly equippedinstitution whose place
of action is the Inhabited countries of
the globe, the Red Cross Society has no
parallel but itself
RED CROSS IN HISTORY
The appearance Of the Red Cross in his
tory is a n interesting consideration in view
OF the recent and former work of this phil
anthrophic society. The story OF the ap-
partition OF flaming red cross in the sky
as sign to Constantine, then emperor
at Byzantium, now Constantinople, or the
city OF Consta ntine, is at best medieval
legend The Red Cross, however, be-
comes historical at the time OF the first
crusade. which was led by Godfrey, of
Boulogne, and who was crowned the first
e Christian king OF Jerusalem. In Tassos
unrjyalled poem, Jerusalem Delivered"
the crusaders are spoken OF in the first
canto as Red Cross knights" In subse-
uueut crusades the battle cry was 'Dens
yult.- or '.God wills it." and the banners
and breastplates OF the knights were mark
ed with the sign OF the red cross.
KNIGHTS AND NURSES.
The objects OF the Crusaders and the Red
Cross Society were both being prosecuted
in the name of the Christian religion and OF
humanity.
Armenia has been for SO many years un-
der the dominion Of the Turks that its an
cient glory has almost been forgotten. NO
place. however, can be ina gined where the
mission of the Red Cross or any other mis-
sion to mankind could have been more Mp
propriately offered or exercised. Armenia

enough. has been its devotion to thetross.
Since the time of Tamerlane and Baja-

Miss Barton was the youngest of the
family. and was not only taught house
hold duties, but was given a general
business education. She taught school
In Massachusetts, and New Jersey.
In 1854 she came to this city and got a
position in the Patent Office, where she
remained until the beginning Of Presi
dent Buchanan's term, when her anti
slavery sentiments caused her dismissal,
and in 1857 she returned to New Eng
land. At the commencement of the war
she came hack to Washington When

and were quartered in the Capitol. their
sick were placed in the Was hington in
firmary in judiciary Square
Miss Barton was among the sick, and
then went up to the Senate Chamber.
where she read alou1 a paper to an inter
esting audience of soldier boys Most OF
them came from the neighborhood of her
own home. and the news she was able
to give them was the first they heard
OF what was going on at the front
HER WORK IN THE FIELD.
That year she spent in the hospitals in
this city and distributed supplies which
she herself collected for that purpose.
but In 1862 she loaded a wagon and started
to following the march of Gen Mcclellan.
She was probably the first in the field an
an army nurse, and continued SO through
out the war, and was in the vicinity of
the decisive conflicts
Later she established in this city the
Bureau Of Records of Men of the Armies
OF the United States" She collected all
the rolls OF prisoners, hospital records,
burial records OF rebel prisons, and pub
ished from time to time rolls Of missing men.
which were sent to all parts OF the country.
BY means Of these, thousands OF families
heard again OF their loved ones, or atleast
knew whether they died In actionor h os-
pital or prison. AtAndersonville she super
intended the burial of many who would
otherwise have gone to swell the list Of the
unknown dead.
These services were SO highly estemeed
that atterward Congress appropriated $15,-
900 to reimburse her for her expenses to
establish the bureau OF records. As presi-
dent Of Red Cross this generation has placed
its estimate on Miss Barton's services by the
fullest encouragement and cordial helping.
Many foreign governments have present.

Flags in profusion were flying from the
residences OF the ambassadors at Tie

and the numerous launches, steamers and
other craft saluted the steamer as she
passed. United States Ambassador Terrell
and the staff OF the American foreign lega-
ton accompanied Miss Barton and her
party as far as Therapia, where they were
taken off by the American legation launch
Wherever Miss Barton visited on the con-
tinent OF Europe she was treated with the
greatest consideration and applauded for
the noble work she had performed, and it
may be safely stated that her reception in
this country will be warm and hearty.
ORIGIN OF THE RED CROSS.
The Red Cross Of which Mss Barton is
the head In this country, had It's origin
In q conference that was held In Geneva,
Switzerland, in 1853. and was formally
