THE UPPER NILE.
European Nations for This
Territory.


Many will ash: Why this feverish
haste to occupy this wretched country
in the heart Of Africa?
Reasons are many, and most OF them
are sound. First and foremost, the pow
er which holds the southern countiies
through which the Upper Nile and its
tributaries flow has the fate OF lower
Egypt In her hands. 1t has been stated
many times that It would be quite feas-
ible 70 divert the course Of some OF these
rivers, thus decreasing the annual rise,
which means everything to the agrlcul-
turist Of lower Egypt. without her ag-
riculture there would be no future of
the countryi and unless the river over
flowed its banks annually, and made
its deposit of rich soil from hundreds
of miles south, the situation would be
absolutely desperate.
Secondly, the districts of Darfur and
Bahrel-Ghazal are rich in gum-rnbbeP
and ostrich feathers, and certain
amount of gold has been found.
The Bahr-el-Ghazel abounds in ele-
plants, and great stores Of ivory nre
said to be held by native chiefs, only
waiting for traders who will deal hon
estly with them. The two districts of
Dar-Senaar and Dar-el-Fungi are more
or less agricultural countries, and be-
fore the fall of Khartum Greek planters
had been successht there, Therefore,
from an agricultural point Of view. the
country is valuable.
Thirdly, the finest soldiers In the
Egyptian army, commonly called the
Sudanese, come from these southern
provinces. These men are in demand us
soldiers, not only in Egypt. but on the
east and west coasts of Africa The
black battalions Of the Egyptian army
are composed of Sudanese, and are reck-
oned among the best soldiers to be
found anywhere.
Who will be successful In this scram-
bic for the upper Nile? say, most en-
phatically, England; although France
seems to have q temporary advantage
in the occupation of Fashoda This &C.
cupation England cannot and will not,
permit to remain permanent; and, foi-
lowing up the numerous protects made
by Lord Rosebery's government, the
present government must, in orderthat
;he prestige of England may be
undimmed, give notice to France to
leave Fashoda and return to her Eest-
coast hinterland.
From the point Of view Of commerce
and progress, IL would be preferable
for this vast territory TO be under the
Indirect control OF England. Her pos
sessions are never encumbered with
large numbers of military aud civil Of
hcials, and she does everything in her
power to foster and develop trade
on strict lines of partiality TO
none. With England at the head
of affairs In this benighted coun-
try, there can be no doubt bot it
will develop its resources in coompar-
atively short time. although there has
been no semblanee of authority of gov
ernment there for 10 years.-R. Dorsey
Mohun. in Century.

On the platform in front OF store
in a Nebraska town was a kerosene
barrel with one OF the heads knocked
out, and the big grease spot on the plat

that the contents of the barrel had been

merchant at his door.
. "No, not exactly ON accident" he
slowly replied.
Then the head of the barrel fell
out?"
t "No, it didn't exactly fall out"
Down at the far end Of the piatfornl
a woman sat on a salt barrel, smoking
a pipe and trotting her foot. As I

GEN. LEES RECORD.
The sturdy American's Military An
cestry and his Career I'm the
Confederate Army.

Fitzhugh Lee, as is we'll known, was
an officer in the confederate army dur
ing the civil war, and in case Of his ap-
pointment as major general OF yolun-
teers ne would enter on his duties as an
experienced military man. Gen. Lees
record and ancestry are both military.
He is a nephew of Gen. Robert E. Lee
and a grandson of Col. Henry Lee, the
revolutionary commander. He was
born at Clermont, Fairfax county, Va,
OH November 10, 1885. and was gradu-
ated at West Point in 1856. He was Sc
verely wounded in a fight with Indians,
and in May, 1860, he was ordered to re-
port at West Point as instructor Of cav
airy. At the beginning Of the civil war,
in 1861, he resigned his commission in
the United States army and entered the
confederate service. At first he was
placed on staff duty, and was adjuiant
general of Ewell's brigade until Sep
tenber, 1861, when he was made lieu
tenant colonel of the First Virginia cav
airy, and later was promoted TO the
rank of colonel. In all of the cam
paigns Of northern Virginia he took a
prominent part, On July 2s, 1862, he
was made brigadier general, and on
September 3, 1868, he was appointed
major general. In the battle Of Win
chester, on September 10, 1864, three
horses were shot under him and he was
disabled by severe wound which Kept
him from duty for several months.
In March, 1865, he was placed in com
mand of the whole cavalry corps OF the
army northern Virginia, and n month
later he surrendered to Gen. Meade nj
Farmville, after which he retired to his
home in Stafford county. In 1874 he
made n speech at Bunker Hill, which at
t1acted wide attention. In the winter
and spring of 1ss2-s3 he made d tour
through the southern states in the In
terest of the Southern Historical So
ciety. In 1885, after a spirited cam
paign, he defeated John s. Wise, read
juster, for governor of Virginla.--N. Y.

OF the metal is not confined TO guns,
however. The same thing occurs in the
journals or axels used on the railroad

railroads put on new aXies every five
or six years. In Europe there are laws
upon the subject, though It is custom
with us. In Germany ii is unlawful to
use an axle on passenger cars more than
four years, though the limitation on
freight cars is not so rigid. AS With the

DRESS IN MISS AUSTEN'S TIME.
In point OF comfortable warmth we
have advanced greatly since the aays
when my mother wore white muslihi
dresses indoors and out, as the women
do in Miss Austen's novels, The alter
native was a riding habit in Winter
and Summer. MY mother was married
in blue riding habit and a white
beaver hat and feathers. Even halt
a century ago the poor little tender
babies displayed their dear little dim
pied necks and arms in all weathers.
Sweet little cherubs they looked In
their white frocks. Now they are well
wrapped up in woolen, and gain In
health what they lose in beauty We
little girls we're not much better on.
Our frocks were made with short
sleeves and half low hodices, tied round
with string. They were most miser-
able-always slipping OF ones shoul-
der, unless the string were drawn so
tight as to cut into the flesh. Ions
sleeves were tied on with~tapes TO ths
short one, and a cape-pelerine, as II
was called+-or a spencer, a hideous
garment-added out of doors.
It was the height OF my ambition e

A story is being told among some OF
Loulsvllle's lawyers to illustrate the
point that Kentucky's rural attorneys
never overlook chance to turn rail
road accidents into coin Of the realm.
Not long ago Thomas II. johnson, OF
New Albany, an employe OF the 1lli-
nois Central railroad, running on a
freight train between Louisville and
Central City. was killed while leaning
out from the top Of car. Before the
widow even knew all the particulars
OF his death letters were showered in
upon her by lawyers along the line OF
the road. In due time the coffin bear
Ing the remains OF the unfortunate man
reached the mourning widow. It was
opened, and to the coat sleeve OF the
dead mans grave clothes was pinned
note, written by a lawyer near the
scene OF the accident, offerlng 20 prose
CUE the road for a percentage Of the
damages.
Another story is told illustrating the
avidty with which the Illinois
Central is sued. Emory A. storrs, the
famous Chicago lawyer, was approach
ed by an old man with a note one day
The note had been found among the
effects OF a deceased relative.
''What's the nature OF the mote?'
asked Mr.. storrs.
Il don't know sir" answered the old
fellow.
"Have you any idea who wrote ft?'
asked Mr.. Storrs. s.
'No. sir" answered the note bearer
"Weli, do you know anything about
tho note at all?" asked Ait. Storrs.
Nothing at all, sir" answered the
old man.
