ENGLAND AND EGYPT.
Rritafn's Clear Advantage Is to Main
tain the Status Quo,

Egypt is the chief modal point on
the worlds highway. Its destiny has
always been, and viii continue to be
controlled by the leading maritime
power in the Mediterranean. In the
past its geographical position has con-
demaed it to be a footnote to Euro.
pean history; ard nowadays. from the
same cause. it is but stepping-stone
to European conquests in the far cast,
For the practical purpose of political
iiomipaticn it is an island, surrounded
either by pitiless deserts or by wa
ter-highways, open only to the mis-
tress of the seas; and as an island, po-
litically speaking, it naturally falls q
prey to the dominant maritime power
of the day. Great Britain, therefore,
can never evacuate Egypt except TN
der conditions which, SO far, have been
proved incapable of realization or at
the risk of imperiling her maritime
supremacy. Consequently, the powers
in whose interests il lies to dispute the
command of the sea with Great Britain
I.list necessarily be opposed to British
domination in Egypt. 1t is
obviously in the interest of Great Brit
ain to maintain the status quo. For all
strategic purposes Egypt is fulfilling
the functions of British possession;
and, as regards commerce, Britain al
ready enjoys monopoly resulting
from open competition. But her rivals
III Egypt and the Soudan will not leave
her alone. They foresee the inevitable
destiny marked cut for themselves by
the teaching OF history and experience.
They know thata nation can never stand
still without suffering atroPhy cf its
functions, but must ever press forward
from conquest to conquest.
Russia herself is the most remarkable
example Of this natural law. Franco,
too, recognizes IT in her zeal to regain
colonial empire, and Germany is its
latest exponent. In the hands, there
fore. of the greatest colonial power
OF these or any other time, Egypt must
necessarily tread in the path of prog
ress; she must acquire the territories
which she lost by nismanagement
when left to herself, and must establish
her dominion over the unity of the Nile
basin. If she fails to do this she will
be at the mercy of any European pow
er commanding the Upper Nile val
ley, since Egypt has been created by
the Nile and is fed by it.
II the protectoral power have to
provide men and money for the recon-
quest and pacifcation of the Soudan,
her hold on Egypt will be immeasur-
ably strengthened and the tenure of
her guardianship indefinitely extended.
Can the Egyptian army, without the
the aid of British troops, break up the
Ehalifa's power, reoccupy Khartoum
and pacify the wild tribes of the Sou
dan? Can the Egyptian government,
with the funds at its disposal, pay the
bill? Can Egyptians be trusted to Gre
ate order cut Cf chaos and to administer
the Soudan, when, even in lower Egypt,
European control is necessary? And,
finally, will it pay y?-Forum,

A HOPELESS SITUATION.
The Rcd-WhfslIercd Man Ucs ig-
ANONYMOUSLY and Decidedly
Done Fer.

Among the dozen of us who left the
train at Carter's Junction to catch the
west-bound on the other road was a red
haired, red-whiskered man, who was
very nervous, and who went to the
agent at once and inquired how long
we would have 10 wait. The time was
first put at ten minutes, then at 90,
then at 80, and the agent finally
announced that there had been wreck
on the road, and we might have to wait
for FIVE hours.
"Gocd Ecavens." exclaimed the red
haired man, but I'm expected in Plum
vile at eight o'clocl, tonight"
EYES" calmly replied the agent.
''Is there no possible way for me to
get there?''
Il don't see none, being you can't
fiy."
''It's almost ease of life or death" ;"
continued The passenger, after walking
around for minute and mopping his
perspring brow.
''I'm sorry" replied the agent, with
q yawn.
al couldn't hire lecomotiye?"
"Noap.'
Gracious me, but this breaks me all
up!" sighed the passenger. Il was to
be married this evening at eight
o'clock. 1t puts me in an awful posi-
ton
We'll, dunno. Going to marry some
one in Plumville ?''
Eyes, OF course; and what will she
think of me!2 Heayensl But why can't
Ify?r
perhaps L know the party" sug-
gested the agent, "as Plumville is my
home"
Its the Widow Atkinson. and it has
Just struck me to use the telegraph"
No use, cid man."
"But / can explain the situation
There is no situation, sir The
Widow Atkinson is my sister"
$50! What a coincidence" gasped
the red-haired man.
There is no coincidence, sir"
But must explain things"
'.No explanation are necessary. The
Widow Atkinson passed here on the
east-bound train this afternoon. She
was no longer the Widow Atkinson.
She was married and on her bridal
tour. kansas City Journal.

A mouse.s Century Run.

n wheelman Of Corunna, Mich, has to
thank a mouse for the addition of 9s
miles to his cyclometer record, says the
New York World. he hung his bicycle

supper reached the shelf, and when he
had sampled the viands leaped to the
tire cf the front wheel. That inmedi,
ately began to revolve, and the mouse
naturally ran to the highest part of it,
1t could stay on the top Of the tire and

when You write 70 ,he queen.

The paper on which letters to Queen
Victoria are written must not be folded.
No communication which bears evil
dence of having been creased will ever
fall into her majesty's own hands. The
proper method is to write on thick,
glossy white paper, and to dispatch the
missive in an envelope which fits it.
Any folded communication never
reaches the queen, for the simple rea-
son that she never looks at it. All
such letters are opened by the mistress
of the robes, and, as a rule, their cor
rents never get beyond her, or, if the
letter is of Importance, it is returned
to the writer with the directions how
to forward it.-N. Y. Herald.

WAS NOT AN ETCHER.
How the Very Shy Young Man An
swered the Pretty Girl.

b0cEcu tAC
This is the story of a shy young man,
and for that reason his name shall be
hidden under the mantle of charity. He
is a very shy youth in the presence of
all womankind, and has even been
known to blush when a wee baby girl
smiled at him and gurgled. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that while his
family were more or less immersed in
society, he seldom went forth himself,
says the Kansas City Star.
One day his aunt bade him to dinner
and declared that she would be forever
offended If he did not come. 1t was a
family conspiracy, you see, to intro
duce him to the sweetest girl in the
world, who would undertake to cure
him of his shyness.
The dinner came off and the shy
young man found himself seated by the
sweetest girl. 1t was hard work for the
girl, though. All through dinner she
had made impossible conversation and
had only been rewarded with bushes
and stammering.
At length dessert was served, and
with the finger bowls came doylies, on
each of which was drawn clever little
design with inde1ible ink. Pictures of
this sort are, for some unaccountable
reason, said to be etched. They fur.
.nished the almost exhausted girl with a
new theme, however. Turning to the
shy youth she inquired, brightly:
do you etch?"
'N-no." he replied, but I've been
troubled with prickly heat somewhat
during the last hot spell"
With shrek of insuppressible
laughter the sweetest girl gave him
up. He is still shy.

when Niagara WIN No Longer Flow.

From discoveries in the history OF
Niagara it is found that the land is ris-
ing at the rate of IA to IA feet CEN
tury in that district, more than two
feet northeast of Georgian bay, and
over four feet century at the outlet of
Lake Ontario. This northeastward ele-
vatiop of the land is causing the waters
of the lakes to overflow the low country
about their southwestern extremities.
The inundation continuing. it is esti-
mated that in 600 or 700 years Lake Erie
will be on the same level as Lake Huron;
in 1000 or 1900 years all the upper
lakes will have two outlets, namely, by
way of Niagara river and also by way
of Chicago and the Mississippi. In 2,4O0
years Niagara falls will no longer flow,
as by that time the waters of the upper
lakes will be emptying into the Missis-
sippi and Gulf of Mexico. In 5000 years
the Niagara river and Lake Erie at
Buffalo will be drained. But the Chi
cago canal, which is now being built.
will greatly hasten the change of drain
age, but save the low country about
Chicago from being submerged.-Dr

Bicycle Cnoauet.

Bicycle croquet is the lates< novelty
for cyclists. 1t requires nicely of
balance and a delicacy of touch. The
regulation hoops and balls are used,
but it is preferable that the handles of
the mallets should be a little longer
than those in everyday use, If the ex-
tent of the lawn will permit it, the
distance between the hoops may be in
creased. The rules AS to the progress
of the ball are the same as in the usual
game. 1t is permissible to advance the
balls either by blow of the mallet or by
deft contact with the front wheel.
When the wheel of the cyclist playing
strikes the wrong ball he loses his play.
When a player dismounts before the
cad OF She game he IS compelled to

Just in the nick of time came the

The season was all that could be
desired, for there was steady

ANY grower that failed to finish
