at Kenyon and Harvard. Garfield was
born in poverty and worked his way
through Williams college. Arthur

gave him an education at Union COL

country minister and his educational
advantages did not extend beyond
those affored by rural academy. Ben

sTuPENDous PROBLEM.
English Government Sets Our People
a Good Example.


The advocates of liberal appropria-
tons by the federal government for
the redemption of arid lands of the
west are drawing inspiration from the
example set by the British govern
ment in its extensive reservoir work
in Egypt, BY the erection OF series
of dams along the Nile it is estimated
that 100000 acres of land will be
added to the arabic surface of Egypt,
and that this land, when al the i'm
provements are made, will be worth
$500, 100000, while the cost of the
dams is only about $25,000,000

deemed has been going into eclipse.

such Improvements when he first in

other things to occupy his mind The
plan now adopted and in process o
completion embraces the construction
of two huge dams across the Nile at
Assouan and at Assiout, creating two
great reservoirs, by means of which

above indicated. The dam at Assouan
stretches from the right to the left

of the low Nile, and is about 60 feet in
width at the summit Before COM

The dam is pierced by $50 sluices; Il
is calculated that it will impound q
billion tons of water, which will form
a huge lake of lao miles in length. The

Lessons From Gu. of Doors.

During the outdoor life of children
the same method of education should
be pursued. There are plants and in
sects and animals to talk about. Bot
any, the early principles of natural
history, and humanitarianism are all
to be learned from the woods. fields or
parks Instead of poking an ant-hiil
with stick, to see the ants run, a
great deal more valuable interest can
be aroused by telling true tales OF
these wonderful little animals; OF
their home-life, their industry, their
skill in construction: OF the amt

RoosEvELT's PREDECESSORS.
Many of Them sprang From the Plain
People.

Theodore Roosevelt is not only the
youngest man who ever held the office
of president of the United States. but
in some other respects his career has
been strikingly different from that of
any of his predecessors. Until Frank
lin Pierce's time all of the presidents
were over so years of age and four of
them had passed 60 when inaugurated.
Pierce was 40, Grant was AZ and Cleve-
land was As when they came into of
fee. Mr.. Roosevelt will not be AZ I'M
til the Sth of next month.
Unlike every other president of the
United States, Mr.. Roosevelt has had
no trade, profession or occupation.
Born wealthy and inheriting from his
father an ample fortune, he has not
been forced by circumstances to enter
any gainful pursuit. The presidents
who preceded him followed in youth
all sorts of occupations from tailor
ing and store keeping to surveying
and fighting and from planting and
farming TO the practice of law and
preaching the gospel.
Mr. Roosevelt had the advantage In
youth rot only Of wealth but of high
social position. plenty OF leisure, ex.
tenslve travel and a university educa-
ton at Harvard In some of these re.
speets he resembles the two Adamses,
but more particularly John Quincy
Adams. for John Adams parents were
plain-living and hard-working farmers.
Both Of the Adamses were graduated
at Harvard. where John. az a time

Actresses Make the Fashions.

are all important epochs for the

season, and the world Of strife waits
with breathless interest TO learn
what the great people are seen In on
these occasions. What actresses
