THE KHALIFA,s ARSENAL

The arsenal itself consisted of a large
 and strongly built square house stand
 ing in a courtyard surrounded by a
 high stone wall Military material of all kinds and of all periods was haaped
 and filtered about, Calling and Norden-
 feldt guns taken perhaps at the de-
 struction of Hicks Pasha's army. stood
 near suits of chain armor which a Cru
 sader may once have worn. Here were
 heaps of Remington rifles; there were
 battle ayes and iayelins. The Krupp
 and the war drum lay side by side.
 Among al and carelessly scattered
 about, was gunpowder in bags, in bar
 rels, or lying in little black heaps on
 the ground. Six items will illustrate
 how diverse was the collection which
 years of rapine had gathered into this
 curious storehouse. There was fine
 drum majors staff ornamented With
 gold, and surmounted by the lion of
 Abyssina, This was presumably cap-
 tured from King Johns ill-fated army.
 There was a wooden provision box con-
 taining sardines and potted meats
 which were wrapped in a sheet of the
 Etoile Beige newspaper, bearing the
 date March 24, 1894. Perhaps it had belonged to the gay Lothaire. There was an excellent chronometer by a well-known London maker in perfect order probably taken from s0me wrecked ship in the Red Sea. General Gordon's telescope, as bright and as clear as on the day it was purchased stood in one of tbe rooms. On the floor of another lay the bell of the Khar- toum church. Last of all I would mo- tice the Khalifas carriage. The vehi- cle was shaped like victoria with a
 prolonged hood which extended over the box seat, and was there supported by two iron bars. It was by a French
 maker-Erler. Paris-and may or may | not have been present to the Khe- dive Ismail. The hood was red out

MAL.A RIi.

Now that we have tropical posses sions we have a new and deeper inter- est in malaria. European nations are also much interested in malaria, which is the chief obstacle in the way of the rapid colonization and development of much tropical and sub tropical terri tory. A committee to study and inves- tigate this disease has recently been Jointly appointed by the British Colo nial Office and the Royal Society, and includes number of the most eminent members of the medical profession in Great Britain and her colonies. One member of the commission has been as- signed to Calcutta to report on the ex- periments being made there which show the connection of mosquitoes with ma laria, while other members will meet at Rome and study the disease as it is found in Italy, noting the results ob- tained by Italian physicians, who are also carefully Investigating the preven- tion of the malady. Subsequently, the members of the commission will meet at Blantyre, British Central Africa, and in the light of the collected infor- nation proceed to further researches.
 Good. What malaria can do is well known. It will be some satisfaction to know what it is.

You know, he says, what the preachers who draw large Sunday even ing audiences do.

One min ister has a blackboard and sketches as con; another talks on politics, and the crowd flocks to the church with the strongest attraction. l do not believe, says Brother Pease, that this sensa- tionalism is good for the church, nor is it good for the audience.

WHEN TO EAT DINNER,

Expert Discussion of Drowsiness After
 Food and How to Avoid It.
 Hardworking men, especially in the learned professions, are often puzzled as to the right hours for their meals and the right diet to be taken at their meals, The much graver question of stimulants also interests them person. ally. The fear of midday meal is very common among brain-workers. good luncheon Is apt to interfere with inspi- ration, especially if any form of alco-
 hol be taken. Tea, very popular with scholars, is less objectionable as to it's immediate effects, but it is very dan
 gerous to digestion. especially among scholars who, like workwomen, nearly always take too much and prefer their
 tea to be strong, ''red as blood" as Garrick used to say. The chief danger In taking too light midday meal is
 that the student is at his worst, phys'
 caly, just before dinner time Hence
 dinner is rendered fresh source of
 dyspepsia, and if he strolls about be- fore the evening meal he Is apt to take cold.
 The special stimulants of great men
 have been recorded in their memoirs.
 "One of the most remarkable records of
 this kind has come to light in Aubrey's
 Brief Lives,'' founded on notes taken by the author in the middle of the sev-
 enteenth century. Few drinks are
 more distrusted among brain-workers in these days than ale, but Prynne seems to have thought otherwise. He was voluminous writer, and his pam phlets lost him his ears and endangered his head. Aubrey informs us that About every three hours his Prynnesl
 man was to bring him roll and pot of ale to refocillate his wasted spirits; so he studied and drank and munched
 some bread, and this maintained him till night: and then he made good supper. Now he did well not to dine which breaks off ones fancy, which VII not presently be regained."
 The danger of priori reasoning may be seen from the above quotation. Those who hayes forgotten about Prynne would take him from this note of his to be a Bohemian of we'll
 known old-fashioned type; yet he was a stern uncompromising Puritan who suffered mutilatio and the pi lory, and
 had a violent and very un- Bohemian prejudice against the stage. The diet
 does not then proclaim the man We doubt, however if the serious student of the end of the nineteenth century would do well to 'srefocillate his wasted spirits" by drinking a pot of ale every three hours. Prynne was perhaps wise not to dine, which meant to lunch in those days, and implied very heavy meal But the munchng of rolls all day and the good supper were ques- tionab'e. His style was very caustic; perhaps, because of the misrule of Charles l. but possibly also through dyspensia, which also had so disastrous an influence on the literary temper of Thomas Carlyle.-British Medical Jour nal

iron structure, to be erected In the rear of a three-story and basement dwelling on East Eighteenth street. The reason the woman advances for raising this fence is the curiosity of the tenants of five-story apartment house which she ayers is acute and very painful to her She complains that when her husband and herself dined under their own vine and fig tree, as they were wont to do during the hot months, the tenants of the apartment house would congregate at some or all of the sixteen windows and watch the progress of the meal, to their own ap- parent entertainment, but to the great embarrassment of the diners.

 Dance dresses for debutantes are cut away very little at the neck. A pretty rounding allows a considerable sleeve at the shoulders. For plump shoulders the old-fashioned baby cut is revived. It is cut well above the bust line, but extends straight across from shoulder to shoulder This cut suggests nodes ty, yet displays a deal. The belle of some seasons, who is supposed to have gained possession, will wear her gown very low. There is a fancy for a V bodice cut away from below the shoulder round to almost the waist. This is filled in with a chemisette, rounded very low and transparent, for all it's soft folds, still lower. Just where the foundation bodice comes is uncertain, which may be considered one of this cuts attractions. Our dowagers, though, thank goodness, we have very few, are taking to the English fashion of going bare-necked to horrid extent whenever occasion permits. There ought to be a law about it.

LITTLE, BUT RAPID.

Perhaps little Belgium doesn't need prohibition, or if she does need it per- haps she couldn't stand it, but she cer- tainly needs restriction. The popula- ton of Belgium is little under 7,0O0,- 900, but at the present time there are in the country 19S 900 wine and beer shops; that is, there is a place where intoxicating beverages are sold for every thirty-fve persons, including women and children. The total amount spent last year by the people for al- coholic drinks was 00,000, ,000, or about S14 for each man, woman and child. If we in the United States had spent the same amount of money for the same purpose, our drink bill would foot up to $1, ,000, GOO, 000 One-third of the money spent for intoxicating drinks in Bel gium is represented by gin in it's va rious forms, this being the liquor for which there is the most popular de- mand. It is shown that "A per cent of the cases of convictions in criminal courts are due to crimes of which drink is the cause; that 79 per cent of the paupers are drunkards: that 80 per cent. of the suicides are due to the use of liquor, and that 45 per cent. of the inmates of the insane asylums are vic- tirns of tbe alcoholic ba bit

FASHION NOTES.

All Depends on the Application ofIt.
 Trimming with bands of ribbon is still in vogue, but it is accomplished in ways quite different from those with which the fashion began. The quantity of ribbon employed is quite as great as in the original models. The point of diff ference lies in the application of it. For this there is but one fixed rule--don't let it be like the older method. A cor rallary to this, of course, is that it should be tasteful. The trimming of the gown pictured here displays a suc- cessful ribbon treatment. On the skirt were interlacing bands, and it served as edging on the bodice in the manner

Chicago is doing a great and costly work in the abolition of grade cross ings. It was begun in 1892, when the Illinois Central elevated it's ten tracks on the lake front, at cost of $2,0O0, 900. By June of this year nineteen miles of main track had been elevated, at an aggregate cost of s6,OO0,OO0, and eighty nine grade crossings have been there by abolished. There is a good deal to do yet, as within the corporate limits there are 115 linear miles of track, not counting the multiplication of them, sometimes tenfold at terminals, and there are still nearly 200 grade cross- ings some of them at points of crowd ing traffic The aggregate outlay up to the close of the present year is expected to be about $9, 900, OOO By the year 1900 the work bids fair to be substantially completed

It is not yet time to carry coal to Newcastle, but a report furnished by Consul Cooling from Newcastle shows a steady decrease in the amount of export of coal from that port, due it is believed to the increase of the export of Amer
 ican coal. There are many countries, notably in South America, where New castle coal has had hitherto monop- oly, btu where American coal now is an important factor. It has been found to be a difficult matter to convince the peoples of these countries that there is as good coal mined in America as anywhere in the world, and that it can be sold as cheaply, but the efforts of American operators are bearing fruit.
