Set ting up coolness as their summum bo- mum they encourage dirt, darkness and damp to the uttermost, shutting out the sunlight as far as they can from their streets and dwellings, while in or der to economize space they crowd their houses up one against another until de- cent curtilage becomes an impossibility. In all the large towns, but especially in Cairo, the subsoil, permeated with in- numerable loose -bottomed cesspitS, is super-saturated with putrescent organic matter, and as a necessary conse- quence thick mists frequently rise dur ing the night, enveloping the inhabited area in their noxious folds till several hours after sunrise.
 During the seventeen years we have occupied Egypt much has been done to improve the sanitary condition of the people and to teach them the beauty of cleanliness, but it must be confessed that as yet it has not been found pos sible to embark on sanitary reform, properly so called. At first the most

It is now to be hoped and expected, however, that in the near fu- ture funds will be forthcoming for the long-promised drainage of Cairo, and also for all the other large sanitary schemes that have been duly formula ted, and of which the urgency becomes each year more and more imperative. In the winter of 1S94-'95. nearly seventy five hundred travellers from Europe and America visited Egypt, and judging by the yearly increment up to that date, their numbers during the current sea son will most probably exceed ten thou sand.-London Lancet.

FUNERAL SIMPLICITY.

Some years ago there met in New York city five men, all veterans of the war with Mexico and of the war of se- cession. They were all West Pointers, and while not all classmates, bad spent some time at the academy together. The discussion turned upon ostentation at funerals One of the veterans said that the widow and children were often impoverished in order that the father have a so-called fitting funeral. Col. Turnley, who was one of those pres ent, said:
 Boys, I was carpenter before I was a cadet. If you will agree to use them I will make with 1f1y own hands coffin for each of you, and one for myself I'll use pine bords, nails, and little paint, and some leather for the hinges of that which goes over the face. The cost of each coffin will be well within $5'
 The old soldiers entered into com pact then and there to use the Turnley collins. They were all made by the Colonel's own hands. and shipped to their destinations the maker retaining one for his own use.-Chicago Times Herald.

EGYPT AS A HEALTH RESORT.

The climate of Egypt may, without eXaggeration, be described as magnifi- cent. Taking into account the re- quirements of the vast majority of in valids there are few, if any, winter health resorts that are meteorologically preferable. In respect of the invalid s three chief essentials-air, dryness and sunshine-nature has behaved most generously not to say lavishly; while with regard to temperature. wholesome food and water, and gentle breezes, there is little to be desired. For five months at least out of the twelve-i. e., from November to arch-the Egyptian climate may be said with truth to ap- proach perfection. But to every shield there are two sides, and. unfortunately, in the present case, the legend on the reverse makes less pleasant reading.

4 contest has been filed by
the republicans ofthis county,
on behalf Of Bishop Clark, con
testing the right Of Emmett j.
Howell to hold u seat in the
forthcoming legislature. The
ground set up allege that
judges Of election, in some OF
the precincts, threw out votes
that were intended for Mr..
Clark.
It was at first intended to
contest the seat of Mr. Bren-
nan, too, but later counsels
advised against it. It would
require the counting Of some
6,, votes to defeat Mr.. Bren-
nan, while In Mr.. Howell's
case the changing or counting
of SIX votes will defeat him.
The matter will come up in
the legislature and be settled
there, and until it meets no
one will know what will be
the result.

A LOCK OF HAIR.
And Why the Young Ladies Asked for
the CIergymans.


A venerable, white-haired clergyman
recently preached in the parish of a
friend. He had hardly got back to
the vicarage from the church when
the door bell rang, and a charming
girl of eighteen asked to see him. He
received her. They talked about the
sermon and other things, until finally
she asked, difidently:
"Oh. won't you please give me q
lock of your hair?"
Certainly my child" said the old
gentleman, flattered at the request. 81
scnd it to you tomorrow" And he
did.
On his return to his own home he
had five move requests of the same
kind, and he proudly boosted to his
wife that he was glad to see that he
had not yet lost his power to please.
All went well until his wife received
this note:
Dear Mrs. -: Won't you please
ask your husband to send me just a
little lock of his hair? We have all
been taking lessons in making hair
flowers. So many of the girls have
asked him, and he sent it to them,
that l thought / would rather ask you
to get it for me. Won't you please do
this for me. 1t is so hard to get white
hair for lilies of the valley"

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.
a Practical Way Of Improving Farm
Stock.

The necessity for Improvement in
the type of cattle maintained on the
average farm is apparent, and the
practical way Of bringing about such
improvement is the Introduction and
use of good bulls of various estab-
lished types. Those who are engaged
in feeding for the great beef markets
find increasing difficulty each year in
procuring steers of the requisite quail
ity, and there is an equal necessity
for animals better adapted for the
purpose in districts where diary prod
uctS find ready market. The aver
age butter product of the COWS of this
country does not exceed $50 pounds
per annum; whereas it has been dem
onstrated time and again that it is
possible to increase this output in
large herds to an average of from 300
to 400 pounds per cow yearly.
The beefmaking capacity of the
thriftless. fiat-libbed, unimproved ina
tive" is almost nil No matter what
particular branch of cattle growing
may be followed, the necessity for
breeding to good sires is obvious
Some are deferred from grading up
their cattle by the first cost Of bull
of the right stamp. Indeed, on many
farms the number Of cows kept would
not justify the purchase of high
class sire. AS matter of fact, how
ever, there is no excuse even in these
cases in breeding to scrub" or grade
bulls 1t should be a comparatively
easy matter in any good farming COM
munity for two or three neighbors to
Join in the purchase of a frst-class
pedigreed male in such a way that
the cost to each would be reduced to
a comparatively small sum.
The increased value of the first lot
of calves from such a bull, as COM
pared with a crop from an inferior
sire, would much more than return
the outlay the first year The plan of
forming syndicates or pools" for such
purpose is frequently resorted TO in
the case of stations, and this Sal.r
idea may be satisfactorily apple. 10
the bull problem. The type to be =:
lected must be settled by the pa.;i.:i
lar requirements of different sections.
In some cases it would be best t.
breed for a pronounced beef form; IN
others special dairy sorts may profit;
ably be maintained, and throughout
other portions of the country the dual
purpose kind will be found best of all
In any case it will not be difficult to
find satisfactory bull for the desired
purpose, and those who are unable to
make the investment individually
should take the matter up with their
neighbors and arrange for the owner
ship of first-class bull in common
The idea is, Of course not a new one
1t has been adopted in a great many
instances in different parts Of the
country in the past Nevertheless 1t
is true that there are many places at
the present time where this practice
could be inaugurated with great profit
to all parties concerned.

oleo's Remarkable Position.

The bogus butter factories continue
to turn off enormous quantities Of this
substitute, the output during the win
ter being very large. Some time ago
we reported the total production in
the fiscal year 1899 at SO million
pounds, or the greatest ON record. A
significant thing is the marked
growth of the monthly output in spite
of restrictive state laws. Nearly all
of the oleo is consumed in this coun-
try, exports being comparatively
small, although we send abroad lib
eral quantities of oleo oil.
A great proportion Of the output IL
sold by the manufacturers in defiance
Of state laws. Thirty-two states, with
a population Of approximately 6O,OOO,-
600, have passed laws forbidding the
sale Of cleo colored in semblance of
butter; yet these are largely a dead
letter, as proved by the wide distri-
button Of the fraudulent product. Not
until congressional action shall force
bogus butter to go to the consumer
for exactly what it is will justice be
done to the dairy interests.
