in 1856. when he commanded the Santo
Domingo army. After the cessation of
hostilities he became very prominent in
politics. He held several positions Of trust
and honor, and finally, in 1882, he was elect

1887 he again was placed in the presidential

VIEWS IN KHEDIVE'S LAND.

No region in the world presents a clearer and more distinct individual character than Egypt. Each village is a special world, each valley a universe that has developed its own life, and man has felt the special local impress sions, and even in modern times, while all the Egyptian villages present a similar aspect and although the fellah appears to be the same sort of a man everywhere, each locality has its spe- cial individual characteristics
 One who knows how to observe men and things critically will find consid- erable difference. These dissimilari- ties are as cid as Egypt itself They have always existed and are as much more intense as the communications between district and district were for- merly more difficult. They are due to physical conditions special to each will lage, to the prevailing winds, the form and character of the mountains, the extent of cultivable lands and the SUD- ply of water
 A study of the detail of the country is very important preliminary to the examination of Egyptian history. Every village and every home had for merly Its special divinity and it's par ticular uSageS. Are we sure that the gods and customs were not imposed by local conditions? At Ombos two hos tile gods were adored in the same tenn pie. May we net see in this fact a rec election of the hostility which has all ways prevailed between the inhabi- tants of the two banks of the river and still continues? - Popular Science Monthly.

ANTITRUST LEGISLATION.
Sweeping Bill Proposed to Make Trust
 Contracts Invalid.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 3.-A bill intend ed to be a tail-twister for all kinds ot trusts was introduced in the legisla- ture today. 1t is far more sweeping than the present Farrelly trust law, which provides for the criminal prose cution of agents of trusts. The pro- posed law makes invalid contracts to which a trust or it's agent is party and prevents the collection of debt by a trust in the courts.
 The principal section of the bill provides:
 "In all actions commenced in any of the counts of this state upon any ac- count promissory note, bill of eX- change, or any other instrument or contract, written or verbal, that ap- pears upon it's face, or when undenied, to evidence indebtedness; said courts shall hold such account, promissory nCte, bill of exchange, or other instru- ment or contract, written or verbal, void and non-enforceable in the hands of any person or persons, company or companies, corporation or corporations whatsoever, when it shall be made to appear upon the trial of said action that such account, promissory note bill of exchange, or other instrument, written or verbal contract was made, entered into or given, in whole or in part, for any commodity or commodi ties produced or manufactured by any trust.
