QUESTIONABLE VALUE OF THE
SOUDAN.

How soon can the Soudan be made
to meet Its own share of expense and
relieve the Egyptian exchequer? 1t
must prove, at first, a costly acquisi-
ton. For the reasons already given
a numerous local force must be main
tanned, and although the Egyptian
army estimates may be relieved by a
certain reduction of the native Egyp-
tan troops, the military establish
ment in the Soudan will still con-
stitute a severe tax, to which the
province can contribute little. Even
in more flourishing days, before it was
wasted and depopulated by the pitiless
dervish rule, the Soudan was not par
ticularly productive; Its export trade
did not exceed e1,000,000, and its
chief product was gum arabic. There
is some accumulation OF this, 1t is
said, awaiting more peaceful times to
come down the country, and the indus
try will no doubt revive and develop.
Agricultural enterprise will probably
extend, especially in the lands longest
recovered; the fertile province OF Dom
COLA, for example, which, according to
all accounts, has made rapid progress
under the active steps taken to recol-
onize Nineteenth of the old popula-
ton has returned, many from the low
er province, and grants OF land have
been freely given to all. The same
good results may be seen higher up
the river, at Abu Hamed and Berber,
and all trade will be stimulated by the
facilities offered by several routes
the new railway, back to Wady Halfa,
and the now reopened desert road to
Suakin.
AS for the heart OF the Soudan,
Khartoum and beyond, 1t is not yet IN
the Egyptian possession, and 1t is still
an unknown quantity, Its resources
hardly explored. Many think that 1t
is rich in mineral wealth, and the ex-
istence OF a great gold-bearing field in
this southeastern extremity has long
been known, the country of the Benz

SOME NEW TIMBER RESOURCES.

II Is reported that the demand for
hardwood lumber. hemlock and cedar
is giving new life to the almost aban-
doned pine lands of the lake region.
But short time since the great opera
tors of Michigan and Wisconsin
thought little or nothing OF their hem
lock, cedar and hardwood timber, and
expressed grave doubts as to whether
they should ever attempt to do any
thing with 1t in the way OF cutting and
converting II into marketable pro-
duct Within recent time they have
changed their views In this particular
and now some of the large concerns
that have grown wealthy In the pine
business have begun to develop their
timber resources other than pine.
Many have nearly reached the end OF
their pine operations. but yet have
vast amount OF timber of various
sorts which can be worked up at .
profit. BY thus doing they can
utilize their mills, their logging rail-
ways and camp outfits for several
years longer. Preparations are being
of timber products. Hemfock opera
lions will be carried on in connection
with hardwood numbering and cedar
cutting. all working together to main
tain the general industry. In the Ella
boration of the hemlock business tam
nerles are being erected so az to use
up the bark and thus enhance the
proftableness of the timber. Alto
gether it Is probable that during the
next 10 years there will be an enlarge
ment of the lumber business on the
lines named that will go far toward
compensatlng for the decline OF the
pine Industry. Our timber barons
will not suffer even II they do not get
what they want in the treaty with
Canada. Indianapolis Sentinel.

SOME SMART CAPES.
Some Dainty Wraps That are Worn
by Modish Women.

Capes lose none of their favor as the
season advances, In spite of the ag-
gressive sway of smart coats and
jackets at cut rate prices.
Capes are so very adaptable to all
sorts of gowns and are the kindest
things in the world to the big sleeves,
whose beauty is entirely ruined by
one crushing into the coat sleeve.
To undertake to describe the sorts
of materials in vogue for capes would
be too great for the space allotted me,
so will only tell of one or two capes
in particular, which are especially
chic.
The new plaid velvets are employed
in the making Of some of the smart
new capes, and as a result some strik-
ing rich garments are turned out. A
charming little affair, scarcely reach
ing to the waist, and as fiaring as an
umbrella, is made of plaid velvet in
small checks, showing tints OF dull
old blue, gold and tobacco brown.
1t is softly lined with rich brocade.

CURED OF FALLING OVERHEARD
Skipper of the Pirate Changed the en-
tidote on Jack.

Jack loved the sea like a Nor
wegian," said the skipper, land like
most Norwegians he does not know
how to swim. He had been sailing
with me in Jamaica Bay and in the
sound for more than three years, and
yet he hardly knew the difference
between the anchor and the mains.-..
If told him to haul on the throat
halyards, he would like as not let
everything go by the run and set the
ships company swearing. We could
not keep him off the Pirate with a
cannon. We did not object to him
because of his lack of knowledge
about boat, but because he had the
falling-overboard habit. Whenever he
went aboard Jack was almost sure to
be sitting on the top of the cabin.
Sometimes he lodged the boom when
it swung over, and sometimes the
boys grabbed him by the legs anu
hauled him out of danger, but most
times the boom knocked Jack over
board.
Then we had to bring the Pirate
around before the wind and put after
him. He usually was nearly half
drowned before we reached him, and,
after fishing him out and rolling him
on a beer keg (which Is a good Ing
to take as ballast when you have a
man along with the falling-overboard
habit, we dosed him with whisky,
which we always carried for medici-
nal use. Jack would never revive
thoroughly until he had at least a
half dozen pulls at the bottle. We
noticed as the falling-overboard habit
grew on him, it required more and
more whisky to bring him to. He
got to be very expensive. Often there
was no liquor for medicinal purposes
after Jacks cruise. The last time he
disappeared under Jamaica Bay he
stayed down so long that we thought
he had dropped through into the
China Sea. When he came up he
seemed to be pretty badly tagged out.
We were tied up at the wharf and
Jack had stepped into the air instead
of into the Pirate.

I whisky, but there was a bottle OF
sarsaparilla in the cabin left over
from a former cruise, and we poured
some of that down Jacks throat. To
