On the River OF Egypt.

"Assouan is the southern frontier
of Egypt, the terminus of the lower
Nile And it looks like terminus.
We came to it on a lazy afternoon, P"
writes &. w. Stevens, the well-known
African explorer, ''too late for coffee,
too early for tea. The Nile, which
had been lazy, too, began to show
signs of a current. We tied up by q
bank of yellow sand; in front of us, to
the left, was long line of palms with
white houses peeping from behind
them-Assouan. Beyond it lofty
rise of rock-at least, it looks lofty in
Egypt-met the elevation of rocky,
ee-grown island-Elephantine. Be-
tween the two came down the river,
still fretting from the Cataract. 1t
narrowed between the two elbows of
rock, and turned a corner, so that it
looked as if Assouan were not only the
end of Egypt, but the end of the Nile.

A Ruined Philippine Industry.

An ancient industry in the Philip
pine Islands which, by the way, has
been nearly destroyed by Spanish
tyranny and greed, is the gathering of
various kinds of mother of pearl. In
the warm waters of those seas animal
life is very prolific and many kinds OF
shells grow to great size. Some oys-
ters, for example, are as large as punch
bowls, and scollops grow two OF three
feet in diameter. Natives catch the
animals when they are alive and throw
them into pots of boiling water. They
then extract the feshy part of the
body, of which some varieties they use
as food, and others as provenders for
their domestic animals. The live
shell, as il is called, is stronger, hand
somer and more durable than the dead
shell; that is, the shell of an animal
which has died a natural death.
The rough mother -of-pearl is sent
to China, chiefly to Canton, where
there is a famous artistic guild which
employs it in many ways. One variety,
which is flat, half inch thick and
several inches in diameter, is carved
in intaglio and in relief and makes
very beautiful ornament for the wall or
the window or for insetting in the
panels Of door or a cabinet. When
hung in the window the light pene-
trates it and gives prismatic tints to
all the figures of the carver. Small
pieces are split into layers and con-
verted into inlaid work, for chairs,
tables, picture frames, altars and the
decoration of wealthy homes.
The way they killed this industry il
lustrates their theories of government.
They sell to the highest bidder what
they call the piscary concessions. No
one can take any fish from the water
without license from the concession.
aire. The poor natives, who make
but ten or eleven cents day, are un.
able to obtain a license and can only
pursue their calling underhandedly.
If caught they are treated as common
thieves, and if found in the overt act
they may be and often are shot by the
armed police. In this manner the
fishing industries of the Philippines
have steadily diminished wherever
there are Spanish settlements, so that
the people of the large cities import
quantities of sea food from other and
freer countries. New York Mail and

Your Chair and Your Desk.

Some curious experiments have
been made by Harvard professor to
prove what is really the best height
for the chair you sit ON and the desk
you write at. Every person, it appears,
ought to have chair specially made
to suit his or her height, and the seat
of the chair should be exactly one
quarter of your height flom the -four.
Thus, if you are six feet high, the
chair seat should be eighteen inches.
The width of the seat should exactly
equal its height, and it should slope
backward quarters of an inch to
the foot. The back should be trife
higher than the seat and sloped slight
ly, not too much. Finally, your desk
should be two-thirds as high again as
the seat of your chair. Thus, if your
chair seat is twentyfour inches, the
desk should be forty inches in height.
When you have attended to all these
little details you can sit and write all
day without feeling that backache
that comes from chairs and desks that
don't fit you, u,-Harttord Conn Post.

President Eliot on Happy Marriages.

President Eliot, in recent address
before the Dorchester Mass. Wom-
ans Club, discussed the happy mar
riage, and gave it what free and easy
writer's call frst-class notice. A
very brief extract from his address
credits him with saying that the ideal
izing devotion with which the happy
marriage begins is the most admirable
thing in human nature. He does not
seem to favor the idea that the cor
ner-stone of happiness in marriage is
sufficient income secured against
the chances of fortune. On the con
trary, he declares the young woman
who marries for money or position is
sacrificing the best of life which mar
riage affords. The chief conditions
of q happy marriage, as he finds them,
are health, common intellectual inter
ests, and n religious belief held in
common between husband and wife.
No doubt he enlarged upon these con-
ditions, and qualified the idea of the
superlative Importance of the latter
two by taking large views of them.
We often see, for example, people
very happily married whose minds are
so differently constituted that it
seems impossible that they should
have more than a limited number of
intellectual interests in common. But
there are different kinds of good
minds. and minds that supplement
one another seem quite as well suited
to harmonious associations as those
that run in parallel grooves. .-Har-
