The Modern Fiat Bui1dine.

"You know, it's old enough and fa-
miliar enough said a fiat dweIler,
''but it's striking all the same, to hear
the whistle blow in the kitchen, from
somebody in the cellar at the elevator
and may be at the same time to hear
the bell ring from somebody at the
front door. The servant throws up the
door to the elevator shaft, to be ready
to receive the things that the man is
sending up from below. and she swings
around and presses the button and
opens a door far away and in still an
other part of the house. All simple
enough, but it interests me all the
same. 1t seems sort of like running
the steamer from the bridge; or like
throwing the levers in the switch house
and controlling switches far away; it
seems like business; it's modern and up
to date"

south Africa,s Joan of Arc.

Cecil Armitage, a young English
man in Ashantee, tells of a strange
West African "Joan of Arc" who is
equipping an army for King Prempeh.
Her appearance is more impressive than
beautiful, and, unlike the famous
French Joan, whose features we know,
this dusky amazon is said to have only
one eye, one ear and one arm and to
wear her hair hanging long. With one
touch of her magic wand she can bring
armies together, and in an engagement
q brass pan is placed before her, into
which all the bullets of the enemy can
conveniently fall without hurting her

to the front at once. By reason of my
knowledge of the forces in the field aud
to be brought into it, and my ability to
speak the dialect of the Soudan residents,
1 ought to be able to render good service.
I really speak Soudanese better than my
native German. I think we shall have
fighting inside of week. Our troops
todays made the first advance beyond
Egyptian territory. They are certain to
to meet opposition. I think we shall
find the enemy at least 400, 900 strong in
rifles with 5000 spearmen, and with an
irregular cavalry of about 1000. The
best arms they have are the Remington
rifles, and they are out of date now.
sThe talk about the dervishes being
able to put 100000 fighters in the field is
absurd. Not half that number of fight
ing men can be mustered in the whole re-
glen. They have some regimental and
brigade organization, but discipline is
lax and inadequate, Osman D:gna will
probably be our chief opponent. The
dervishes will not in this encounter have
the fanaticism which the mahdi inspired
in the Gordon campaign.
Besides, the people are much dissat-
isfied on account of the oppression and
misrule of their government of late.
am familiar with all the tribes that can
be brought against us, and we need have
no fear as to the result of this expedition.
A number of European military officers
are applying for permission to accom-
pany US. Sirdar, who is the nominal
commander of the Egyptian army, will
go to the front Tuesday. Much is ex-
pected of the trained Soudanese regi-
ments officers by the British, but
would not care to depend much upon
Egyptian troops such as have seen.

NEW York. March 2O.-The young
lady members of Ballington Booths new
army have been greatly excited over the
announcement that the uniforms for
Gods American Volunteers would be of
seal brown color. When the samples of
cloth were first brought to the room in
the Bible house devoted to the trade de-
partment of the new army they were
sharply examined by the women. Then
there we're whispering, which grew
louder and louder until finally it broke
out into open revolt. The fair soldiers
admitted they had one worldly weak
ness left, and that was touched when
they were asked to don a color so unbe-
coming. They were joined by the men,
who said brown trousers would be more
quickly ruined by kneeling in the streets
than those of blue. After much deliber-
alton Commander Booth resclnded the
order for the brown clothes, and is now
looking for suitable cloth of cadet-blue
color.

WHEN REPTILES RULED.
There Was a Time When the Globe was

There Was Time When the Globe Was
in Their Possession.
There was time ''in the wide revolv-
ing shades of centuries past when the
globe was wholly in the possession of
walking, swimming and flying rep
tiles" says an exchange. Being the
dominant type, they divided naturally
into three great classes. 81
In the oceans they became gigantic,
padding enaliosaurians; on dry land
or, rather, wet land, for the whole sur
face of the globe was doubtless a quag-
mire at that time-they became mon
strous, erect dinosaurians, some of
which had legs Is feet or more in
length.
Those which inhabited the regions of
the air were the terrible flying ptero-
dactyls. For a vast but unknown
length of time these awful creatures
literally ruled the earth. Then one by
one they died out in the face of the
younger and more vigorous fauna until
at the present time only a few miniature
alligators and crocodiles, a few toy
snakes and skulking lizards and geckos
remain as reminders of the enormous
reptilian types that once crowded land
and sea-

TALKED OF AT CAIRO.

British Campaign viii Probably Not
Begin Before September.
New York, March 2O.-A special to
the Herald from Cairo says:
Your correspondent called upon Lord
Cromer, but he declined to express any
opinion as to the situation. The as
sumption is that he knows very little of
the scope of the movement. It is known
the order for the advance was a sur
prise to him. With the experience
gained through Wolseley's dilatory and
vacilating tactics in the Khartoum cam
paign before the British war Office, it is
practically certain that this expedition
will be pushed forward with sharpness
and precision, but it is not at all proba-
BILE that serious advance will be made
upon the very threshold of summer.
The Soudan and Egyptian troops at
Wady Halfa may be pushed on to
Akasher, while the English contingent
will concentrate at Wady Halfa and or
ganize for effective work. When cooler
weather sets in, early in September, the
columns from the Nile aud Suakin can
make combined advance on Ondurman,
but the guardians of the Khalifa Abdul
lah know something of British tactics
and may not wait for the cooler weather
programme. Fully $4,000 dervishes are
reported ready to fight. The massacre
of the Italians at Adowa filed them with
warlike zeal, and the fall of Cas-
sala will infame them with fanat-
icism. They may take the initiative and
fall upon the advance column of the
support can reach Massun.
While the natives are all disconsolate
at the prospect of war the English in
Cairo are elated. Scores of young men
in civil places are striving for permits
sion to join the forces, and even the,
English women have volunteered for
hospital service. The prospect of fight
ing creates much enthusiasm among the
British.
Many serious minded observers pre-
dict that the attempt to carry out Eng
lands long matured policy in the Sou
dan will provoke European war, in
ssmuch as it win afford Russia and

The war correspondents of the London

The troops in Cairo are taken by rail

AN INTERNATIONAL QUESTION.
Treasury Department. Overwhelmed
With Currency xnauires.

w NASH1NGTON, Aug. 10. 1S96.--When
officials OF the Treasury Department pre-
pared circular l2s they were cf the cpin-
ion that every conceivable question con-
corning the finance and coinage Of the
United States had been answered They
find they are mistaken. Hardly a day
passes but that questions are asked snas
circular 12s does not even refer to. These
concerning dfle ownership Of geld and sill
Yer mines in the United States are the
most numerous.
Director OF the Mint Preston says il is
almost impossible to give the satisfactory
reply TO these inquiries. the gold and
silver mines OF the United States, he says,
are largely stock effairs and il is very
difficult to trace OUT the ownership Of
stock. Great blocks CT European capital
ne says, are always IN the United States
awaiting paying Investments. and when
gold and silver mines pres ent themselves
they are readily taken up.
II Is well known. he says, thai the
Rothscnilds and ether foreign capitalists
are large owners OF stock in dividend
paving gold and silver mines of the United
States. What percentage Of such s.oek
foreign capitalists own cannot re de-
termined. No Official statistics on this
subject have ever been gathered BY the
United States government Mr. Preston
says he Will make an effort to gather
such information for the present calendar
year
