tering Of Mahdist power wherever IT remains;
and all these mighty works are to be wrought
for the welfare and glory OF Egypt which
twelve years ago could not afford to retain her
conouests. but now has a solvent excheQuer and
a powerful army.
This certainly rs the view taken by many Ger
man journals which forecast as the result OF the
Italian reverse an oficious and insncere diver
sion In the interest Of Italy. followed by an ex-
pansson OF the British Empire from the Delta
to the Lakes. 1t seems almost incredible, In
view of the calamitous retirement from the
Soudan twelve years ago, when the kneolve .
vast African empire was virtually surrendered
At the dictation Of Ministry in London. When
the wild tribes OF the desert revolted against
their Egyptian rulers and massacred the gar
rison. very much as the Turks have been slaugh-
terng the Armenians during the last year. there
was no thought Of the future-only nervous
dread of Increasing the burdens OF the respon-
sibiiities OF empire and reluctance to sanction
military expenditures when the finances OF Egypt
were in extreme disorder. The order to scuttle
cut Of the Soudan was issued before the Egyp-
tian soldiers could save themselves and their
families, and then II was rendered unintelligipie
by battles on the coast and the belated expeol-
ton for the relief OF Gordon Yet now II IS con-
adently assumed by the best-informed ieaoer
writer's that the Khedive's Empire Ia to be re-
conquered.
That may be an accurate forecast OF the gen.
erai trend of events after the occupation OF Don
COLA and the seizure OF the granaries upon which
the Mahdists have depended for food supplies;

The divorce laws Of Iceland form
a guarantee for the best protection
of women against the caprices of
"changeful man" If for any reason
husband and wife cannot live har-
moniously together and decide to
separate, they go before clergy
man, who uses every power Of logic
and persuasion to induce them to
reconsider their determination. Fail
ing in this they are granted a letter
of separation, and each goes his or
her own way. If there is but one
child, this goes to the mother, if
more than one, they are equally di-
vided, unless one of the parents is
regarded as unfit to train them, in
which Gaze they are all given to the
other. After they have lived apart
for three years, and are still inclined
to remain separated, the injured
party may apply for divorce, and
if the application is based on scrip
tural grounds, it will be- granted,
leaving each free to marry again.

All records of long. winded litiga-

German litigants. The story is as
follows: On June 81, 1886, the
peasant people Of Burgsinn, small
Frauconian hamlet in Bavaria,
brought suit at the court of Speyer
against the Barons Won Thuegen for
the possession of certain body Of
oak and beech land, which they
claimed as their own. For 300
years generation after generation Of
these poor people have managed to
scrape together enough money to
carry on this suit against the power
full barons, and final decree was
rendered in their favor, which went
into effect June 20, 1896, just 800
years after the suit was begun. The
tract OF land is valued at 100000

feature. The remaining two are fixed
about halfway up the balloon, one on

lions he has taken. The material Of
