PEACEFUL BY NATURE.
The Egyptian Abhors Warfare. as Die
His Fathers Before Him.

His Fathers Before Him.
The ordinary Egyptian is by instinct
utterly opposed to military life. The
last thing be wants 20 do in the world il
10 fight. He hates the pomp and DIR
cuustance Of glorious war, and nothing
in his nature is appealed to by the ides
of strife and combat.
! He is good-temrered, pleasurelov-
ing man, and for 1900 years his apces
tors before him have loathed the clast
of steel. Go back as far as you like IL
Egyptian history and you will neves
find a trace of the Viking spirit In ths
inhabitants of this Nile valley. The sue
eessful wars of the Pha-aohs wen
waged by merceparies, and the pspyr
show that the. military calling wa,
always described as pure evil. The rec
ords show little delights in battle, but
plenty Of picturesque contrasts between
the horrible miseries endured by the
soldier in the field and the pleasant,
snug life of the civilian tribe.
The spirit of the old Dane who when
he felt death approaching put on his
armor, because he would not die like q
cow in his house, has no echo in the
past or in the present of the true
Egyptian.

Topeka, June 1.-The Kansas weekly
crop report for the past week says:
In the eastern and middle divisions,
the week has in general been a grow
ing one and favorable TO handling
crops. Harvesting has begun in the
southern counties, but the wheat does
not give as good promise in the west
ern counties as heretofore. Corn is in
good shape and being worked. Fruit
appears all the better for the previous
thinning out. IN the western division
the condition of the wheat has gone
backward, as have small grains, owing
to continued dry weather. Corn is hold
ing its own in this division. The week
closes with promise Of more rain.
NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, Neb, June 2-The Nebra ska
weekly crop bulletin for the past week
says: The rainfall was heavy in near
ly all parts Of the state. Farm work
has progressed rapidly and corn is
nearly all planted. Small grain has
grown very rank and in some cases is
beginning to lodge. Rye is in blossom
generally and wheat headed Consider
able damage has been done by cut
worms in the southeast part OF the
state. Potatoes are growing fast, but
suffering considerably from bugs.
Fruit is not as promising as when it was
in blossom.
MISSOURI.
Columbia, Mo, June 2-The Missouri
weekly bulletin for the past week says:
Much further loss has been caused by
the washing of rolling land, and by
floods to crops and fruit in many
places. In few central western coun-
ties where the rainfall was light, corn
blowing has been rapidly pushed.
Wheat generally is doing very well.
Harvesting has commenced in the south
ern part. Oats, as a rule, are doing
well, as are also fax, grasses and pota-
toes. Army worms are still doing some
damage. Cotton IS doing well.
