 That these Soudan Negro-Arabs fairly worship this wonderful man Is not sur prising. They regard war as the only busi- ness in life worth considering. For sixteen years they anave been fighting, fighting. In all that time, pitted against men who firm 1y believe if killed in battle tssey go straight to paradise these blacks t2rat Kitchener and his officers have trained have invaria- bly been successful. Then their pay-fourt teen shlHngs monthly and rarfons-to them is almost incredible in its munifcence. No one is ever taken into the black regiments who is not six feet in stature. As they
 stand at present, these black battalions look like statues. The English colonel clicks out a command fin Arabic; with a machine like snap the 749 statues of men now break into column of companies. Southern born and bred before he had seen this, somehow the writer had always asso- ciated the negro with something either ser- vile of funny, but these fearless blacks had never been slaves to any race, and ac- knowledged no superiors but the whites. They honestly believe that to be white is never 10 nave knOWn Iedr. lWey nave seen many English officers die by bullet and by steel. but they have never seen one of the white race show fear, and their proudest boast is: "We are like the Englishmen: we are never afraid"

He is never tired or Surprised; never taken unawares nor show ing hurry he is the ideal man for just the conditions he has to deal with. He came into British affairs in Egypt at the right hour and he was the right man. Today he is absolutely king and ruler over onethird of all Africa, from the Nile valley and It's tributaries to the Cape of Good Hope.

 One hundred thousand francs ($20 ,O00) have just been put up by one of our. young sportsmen, who proposes to cover, in an electric carriage, the distance of 100 kilo- meters Cover 62 miles) in one hour.
 Some French sportsmen, persuaded that such performance is impossible, will take 3up the wager If we are correctly in- formed the course chosen will be the long ribbon of TO kilometers of road, which sep arates Evreux from Lisieux and is broken only half way by the descent and the hill of La Riviere- -Thibouville.

He was wearing the uniform of bey or colonel of Egyptian cavalry As he came forward Challe-Lopg, a lieutenant colonel, and chief of artillery for the Egyptian army, presented us. Kitchener was then about thirty-itwo years old. His face was that of man who neither asks for sym patfiy nor wants it; one who will win to the front, no matter what Is in his way. He has steady, blue gray, passionless eyes. and a heavy musitache covers mouth that shuts close and firm like a wolf trap. He has won over the native fighting man of the Soudan because he shows not the shad- ow of fear; because hand and brain work so perfectly together. He has no age but prime of life. and in the fifteen years he has spent in the Soudan-he has gathered and garnered a ripe harvest of experience that has made Gen. Lord Kitchener of Khartoum one of the most notable men of the century.

WAS A GOOD DRAWING CARD.

"When landed in New York Jumbo repre- scented to Mir. Barnum an outlay of s30,0O0. but So great was the popular curiosity to see him that he is said to have paid for himself In the first three weeks that he was on exhibition in this country.
 Jumbo was a good deal of toper C. ing accustomed to drink a pale of beer each morning and evening. One night his keeper Scott, who always slept near his charge, forgot the customary night-cap and was reused out of sound sleep by be- ing lifted up on the elephants trunk. He was not slow to take the hint, and got the beer at once. Jumbo's regular daily rations consisted of 300 pounds of hay, a barrel of potatoes and a bushel of onions."

London Zoo, where P. T. Barnum bought
 him for $10.000 and brought him to America.
 Jumbo had become attached to his quarters at the Zoo, and this or 1lis loyalty. to the British flag made him object seriously to leaving English soil. After waiting eight days for the big fellow to get over his fit of sulks, Barnum got tired of waiting and carted his bulky acquisition to the steamer

CF pam III the lO1nS ana small or the pack, Is occasioned by congestion of blood in that part, caused by exposure to cold or draft of air, checking the precipitation. The counter irritant and diffusive stimuant properties of Railways Ready Relief ad- mirably adapt 1t for the cure of this dis ease. The Ready Relief should be applied to large surface and we'll rubbed In. It Is quite wonderful how readily 1t relieves the pain of this distressing complaint In some cases the pain is extreme that there Is danger of inflammation setting in and ex- tending to the kidneys Tn that case take at once a dose of the Regulating Pills and at the same time keep up the application of the Ready Relief, and the most obstinate case will yield to this treatment. Plasters fn general do harm in these cases of pain in the side and back-they gum ua the pores and prevent the proper action of the perspiratiory glands and stop the, natural exhalations of the skin.
