OLD NEW ENGLAND TAVERNS. society for the season, George Leslie Nichols read paper on "Old Taverns," which, 1t appears, had an important ef- feet on the development of New Eng land. In te-Revolutionary days the tavern was "the center of events and the center of alarm" John Adams writes somewhere of putting up for a night in a tavern at Shrewsbury, where the political discussion of the farmers over their pipes and bowls amazed him in it's penetratio and comprehensive ness. American independence is close at hand" was the great patriots con- clusion after pondering over tavern dis courses.
 In old tavern days rum, or "killdev- H." as it was known at the time was the almost universal New England drink. One old New Englander, how ever, wrote from Philadelphia: 'Whis- key is used here instead of rum, but I can't see but 1t is just as good" An ancient Massachusetts statute forbade the selling of rum to drunkards, and an official was in attendance at the tavern to determine when a man had drunk enough. AS early as 1922 two gallons were contiscated from g Boston tavern keeper for a violation of this law and sold by the deacons for the benefit of the poor. In the early colonial days the sale of strong water was forbid den to the Indians, but later genera tion decided that it was not fitting to deprive the Indians of any lawful com fort' and repealed the statute.--Bos- ton Transcript.

great dam is being builded highway
that also conforms to the prophecy
of Isaiah.
The prosperity of practically the
whole agricultural region of Egypt de-
ponds upon the Nile river. 1t can
make of the Nile valley the most fer
tile spot on earth, or 1t can leave ii q
scorching desert dried up beneath the
rays of a tropical sun. Nature seem
ingly intended that the Nile should
overflow it's banks, and while in most
instances the overflow of great river
is looked upon as frightful calamity,
and guarded against with all the inge-
nuity of man, in Egypt such an oc-
currence is prayed for, and if 1t does
not come famine and pestillence
spreads it's dread wings over the land.
The Nile is an erratic stream, and
while nature seemingly intended it TO
overflow it's banks and water the lands
it does not always do so. To remedy
this England is building the great dam
at Assouan at n cost of more than $780,
100000. All of this amount, with in
terest, will be returned TO England by
the Egyptian government, who will in
turn recover it from the agricultural
lists living along the banks of the Nile,

and who will pay for the service of
watering his lands.
The dam, which, when completed,
will assure the people living on some
5000, 700 acres of Egypt's most produc-
tive land of bountiful crops. is being
built across the river at point where
the stream is a mile wide, and
stretches from bank TO bank over a
series of rocky islets, which are sepa-
rated by channels of varying width.
The shallower and narrower channels
are-or, rather, were-situated to-
wards the eastern bank, and. conse-
quently, though work has proceeded
over the whole course of the dams
path and neighborhood. the chief prog
ress with the actual dam has been
made on the eastern side of the river.
The work of closing up one by one the
channels has been taken In order from
that side, and the extreme western
channel, which was the largest and
most difficult of all the channels, has
been left until last. Some three weeks
ago this channel was finally closed, and

Bonling up the Wafers
of the NILE RIVER
England Is Constructing the Greatest Irrigation
System in the World for Egypt


GONE 700 years before the birth of
y Christ the old Israelite prophet
Isaiah prophesied that men would
in time to come cross the bed of the
Nile river dry shod. That there would
be constructed across that stream a
highway for the remnant of his chosen
people, and that then they would be
recovered from the four corners of the
earth and again gathered together. 1t
is a prophecy on which still hinges
much of the faith of the Israelites.
is England assisting its fulfillment?
Way up the Nile river at Assouan,
where the waters of the Nile pour over
the first cataract, England is building
a mighty dam. and inaugurating one of
the greatest irrigation plants known
in the world. So far has the work
progressed that men have already
walked across the bed of the river dry
shod. as Isaiah said they would. The

which was made from a photograph,
proves this fact. Across the top of this

flow of the Nile; for it must be recol-
lected that this great barrier over the
river is being constructed in order to
form "A reservoir from which water can
be doled out in the dry season to low
er and middle Egypt. 1t will be res
ervoir mile and quarter wide by
$50 miles long, and it will hold up a
thousand million gallons of water.
If, however, the works at the eastern
end of the dam are more advanced,
those at the western are more inter-
esting 1t is on this side that the great
lock channel, which will allow steam
boats to pass the first cataract, is be-
ing made; and it is here that the diff
cult task of closing up the great west
ern channel has been overcome.
Briefly described, the task of closing
up the channel is as follows: First, a
"sudd" or bank of heavy stones is con-
structed across the channel, wagons
of stones, wagons and all, being shot
into the stream for the purpose. When
this has been completed with back
ing of silt, another "sudd" of sandbags
is constructed little higher up the
stream. When this is completed and
the flow stopped, the water is pumped
out from between these two walls, and

is about mile wide, though the dam,
with its approaches, is mile and
quarter. The great openings in the
masonry are the sluices through
which the Nile will rush at flood time
in future years. There are $50 OF
these suices. The dimensions of lao
of them are "a feet high by 6ls wide.
Work has progressed more rapidly
at the eastern than at the western end
of the great dam. At the eastern end
all the foundations are in; all the
channels were long ago closed; and,
except in depth of foundation, there
is little difference between the dam
construction over channel or over islet.
There is one difference, however. The
sluices over the higher levels-that is
TO say where the highest parts of the
islets were-are not so large as the
great lower sluices. There are 10 of
these high-level sluices, and their di-
mansions are 10 feet by 6. They are
placed at higher level in the dam,
chiefly for purposes of regulating the

In the main, consumption

Low vital force is hereditary
