 Matters.

Northern Africa is country which is not ali unknown to the traveller; it is land of remarkable interest. There is found there some of the most ancient history of the world. In the Valley of the Nile civilization sprang forth and reached mark which in some features has hardly been surpassed. Yet man has just returned to the United States who is probably the nrst to thoroughly explore tbat country along certain lines. He is the Botanical Explorer of the Agri- cultural Department, Mir. W. r. Swingle has beek travelling about the Mediterranean countries look- ing for plants and trees and for the products of the agriculturist and the horticulturiet which might be of value to t.ie farmers and fruit growers of the United States,
 "Especially interesting, said Mir. Swingle, in talking of his work, "did I find the north African coun. tries. They greatly resemble our own Southwest, and like a great portion of it, they are arid. Car rving the parallel still farther, they were, like it, once through irriga- ton. This great area was once part of the Roman Empire and the Romans seem to have known how 10 irrfgate to perfection. For there is evidence that all of north Africa was as fertile as is the pres ent valley of the Nile. The waters of the rivers seemed to have been stored for irrigation in series of reservoirs, one above the other. The ruins of Algeria indicate a wealthy and populous community. But long since, the land has revert. ed to it's natural ariditv, dams have disappeared. and irrigation has ceased yet the ruins of great cities rise from out of the hot, sandy wastes. we'll preserved monuments, in the dry atmosphere, to the for mer grandeur nf the Romans, Many of the buildings in those cities are almost entire, showing clearly the style of architecture, the triumphal arches. and other types of Roman work, until one gets into their midst, 1t seems hard 1 ly possible that they have stood uninhabited for long centuries.

The French Government is now making some interesting ex- cavations in Algeria, but otherwise no desecrations of the wonderful ruins is allowed.
 One of the most interesting bits of information which I picked up was that we as nation are being delightfully."- imposed upon in our use of Egyptian tobhcco. Since the Exposition and its Midway Plaisance, which brought with it many eastern customs ard an American demand for Eastern pro ducts, we have been using Egyptian tobacco and especially Egyptian cigarettes in this cnuntry to q cor siderable extent.

A LETTER
From Geo. w. Lewis, and Ben
 F. LeBaFOns
Mesa, Sept. 15, 1899

Mesa, Sept. 15, 1899.
 To our friends in the St. Johns Stake:
 Through the kindness of the editor of the St, Johns Herald, we are given an opportunity to address a few lines to you. During the three months we spent travelling a. mong you last. we grew to think most kindly of all. For the kind ness we received was all that could be desired. From the little chil- dren to those whose locks are white, came the kindest of treat ment, and this like those who stand upon the same religious platform as ourselves, and those who believe different to what we do. There Is nothing in our hearts but the best of wishes for all we met. Pleasant memories cling around the various incidents of our mission. from our visits to the comfortable homes of the people to that pleasant visit with the boys in the logging camp on the Blue. Our desires are that the peace of heaven may attend all.
 To the NJ. I. Workers of St. Johns Stake.
