Pharaoh.


Engineering skill is TO rearrange ma
lures surface on the Egyptian frontier,
and pond back into Nubia body OF
water lao miles long, crossing the tro-
pic Of Cancer and extending southwark
nearly to Korosko--a goodly step on
the journey to Abu-Simbel and Wady-
Haifa-by means OF great dam across
the Nile at Assuan, says the Century.
The pyramids and the Sphinx have
born testimony through the centuries
to the grandeur and power OF execution
which dwelt within the Nile valley;
and what more fitting now that the
same valley be the theater OF a glgan-
tic exploit. audacious perhaps, but GER
tain of success. and ministering to
mans necessities. rather than to his
vanity? AS building achievement
the scheme is on a scale worthy OF q
Rameses or a Pharaoh. To create in
the heart OF the African desert lake
having from two to three times the SUI
perfcial area OF Lake Geneva, in Swift
zerland, and control it with scientific
precision, so that the impounded flood
may be turned into distant channels
at Will. is stupendous undertaking.
But the engineers claim that their
plans can be carried out to the letter;
they have estimated the exact cost OF
the dam, computed almost to the gal
Ion the volume OF water that will be
imprisoned, and figured the necessary
resistance to be provided at every point
of the masonry. In Cairo, the experts
OF the ministries OF public works and
finance, likewise. have calculated to
nicely the sum from taxation that will
come into the public treasury through
the country's augmented productive
ness. Subordinate to the great dam, a
smaller one. not unlike the barrage at
the apex of the delta, ten miles north
OF Cairo, Is to be made at Assiut. It's
functions will be to give a sufficient
head to the river to force the water
into the system of irrigation canals

acres between Assiut and Cairo. The

FRoLrc OF THE TORPEDO BOAT.

| In the earlier days OF the war, while
the excitement OF the new condition OF
affairs was still at It's height, the COM
manders OF the different craft engaged
In the blockade of Havana were rest
less under the monotony of their du-
ties, and sometimes did things that
we're not ordered by the commander
!n-chief. SO writes a naval corre-
spondent OF the Companion, and he
proceeds to narrate pretty lively ad-
venture as a case In point.
One particularly dark night the cap
tain of torpedo-boat decided to take
advantage OF the darkness and run
well in toward the MORO. With all
lights doused, the boat steamed slowly
toward the entrance of the harbor until
her crew could hear plainly the surf
breaking on the rocks under the cas-
tle." While the boat rolled lazily in
the swell, the officers tried to make out
the guns and the Notifications at the
harbor mouth.
Suddenly, as the boat gave a heavy
roll. the switch which turned on the
private night signal was moved, and
blaze OF red and white lights illumi-
mated the entire boat. Every one made
a dash to break the connection. In the
rush the colored cook managed to roll
overheard, and as he went over the
side he grabbed at everything handy.
Among the things he took hold OF, I'M
fortunately, was the whistle rope.
II the boat had been laundering,
nothing more could have been done to
attract attention. The big search-light
on the MORO twitched around In an
uncertain manner, and turned slowly
toward the boat Before 1t reached
them the people on the torpedo-boat
managed to turn on the signal: the
spasmodic shrieking OF the whistle
stopped when the cook was hauled
aboard. and the boat escaped in the
darkness without shot being fred at
her.
The next time his boat went In. the
captain took In his private night sig
nal and the cook had orders to stay In
the galley.

SELECTED STORY.
lNDlRECTlON.

Fair are the flowers and the children,
but their subtle suggestion Is fairer;
Rare is the rosc-burst of dawn, but the
secret that clasps it is rarer;
Sweet the eXultance of song, but the
STRAIN thai precedes it is sweeter,
And never was poem yet writ, but the
meaning administered the meter,
Never a daisy that grows, but a mys-
terry guideth the growing;
Never river that flows, but majesty
sceptcrs the flowing;
Never II Shakespeare that scared, but
a stronger than he did enfold him.
Nor ever a prophet foretells, but
mghtler seer hath foretold him.
Back of Tie canvas that throbs the
painter is limited and hidden:
Into the statue that breathcs the soul
of the sculptor is hidden;
Under the joy that is felt lie the in
finite issues of feeling;
Growing the glory revealed is the
glory that crowns the revealing.
Great are the symbols of being, but
that which is symboled is greater;
Vast the create and hcheld, but vaster
the inward CREATOR
Back of the sound broods the silence,
back of the gift stands the giving:
Back of the hand that receives thrill
the sensitive nerves of receiving.
Space is as nothing to spirit, the deed
is cutdone by the doing:
The heart OF the Wouer is warm, but
warmer the heart Of the wooing;
And up from the pit where these
shiver. and mp from the heights
where those shine,
Twin voices and shadows swim star
ward, and the essence of life is di-
vine

American Horses for Europe.

The splendid growth in our export
trade in horses, recently dwelt upon in
these columns, has increased until it
now represents a business of 5000, 600
annually. As recently as 1893 total ex.
ports were less that 81 100000. gain
ing steadily until they were 81 700, 900
in 1897 and S6,177 900 in 1898. In
number the increase has been from
1867 head in 1893 to SO, 532 in 1897 and
81, $50 in 1898. The United Kingdom
takes about as per cent of all horses
exported from this country, Canada,
p, Germany IL, the West Indies 6,
France l per cent, and others scat.
tering.
According to special report on the
market for American horses in foreign
countries, recently published by the
department of agriculture, the larger
part of our export trade consists of
draught and road horses, the former
weighing over sixteen hundred pounds
and being either pure blood or half
bred Clydesdale, Percheron, Shire or
Belgian, and the latter mostly standard
bred trotting stock weighing from
1000 to l 200 pounds and being assign
ed according to their fitness to coaches,
cabs, trans, light wagons, etc. As to
the character of horses desired by lead
ing importing countries, the following
will afford much light: Ninety per
cent of all horses shipped to Great
Britain are draught horses, Z per cent
high-class coachers; to Germany, 95
per cent draught horses weighing
800 pounds or upward; France, about
50 per cent of the horses are what are
known as "cabbers," the remainder
about equally divided between draught
horses and trotters; to Belgium, 70 per
cent draught horses and 23 per cent
street car horses weighing 1900
pounds.-American Agricultural.
