THEIR FIRST MEETING.

Dasil's eyes opened. The girl flushed crimson, and would have ran from the room, but he caught her hands, and before he was well aware he had told her the story of his love, and she had confessed that she loved him and had loved him for a long time, and that her great fear had been that his pride would prevent him from tell ing her the things that were in his heart.
 So when Basil was able to leave the hospital he and Isabelle were mar ried. Then the problem of the fu- ture had to be faced. He was de- termined not to throw himself upon Isabelle's people. But he could no longer drive a cab. He read the call for volunteers for the imperial yeo- Inanry, and Isabelle smiled through her tears as he left her to go to South Africa with his regiment. For "a Talor at Ladysmith he was pro- noted and received his D. s. O., and later on his commission and a place in the regular service.
 And Isabelle now rejoices that she once nearly murdered cabby.

England Is Constructing the Greatest Irrigation System in the World for Egypt

COME TOO years before the birth of D 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. It is prophecy on which still hinges much of the faith of the Israelites.
 Is England assisting it's fulfillment? :?
 Way up the Nile river at Assouan, where the waters of the Nile pour over the first cataract, England is building 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 illustration accompanying this article, which was made from a photograph, proves this fact. Across the top of this

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- pends upon the Nile river. It can make of the Nile valley the most fer tile spot on earth, or it can leave it 8 scorching desert dried up beneath the rays of 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 a frightful calamity, and guarded against with all the inge- nuity of man, in Egypt such an ot- currence is prayed for, and if it does not come famine and .pestillence spreads it's dread wings over the land.
 The Nile is an cratic stream, and while nature seemingly intended it to overflow its banks and water the lands it does not always do so. To remedy this England is building the great dam at Assouan at cost of more than $2O,- 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- ists living along the banks of the Nile,

flow of the Nile; for it must be recol- lected that this great barrier over the river is being constructed in order to form reservoir from which water cam be doled out in the dry season to low CT and middle Egypt. It will be res ervoir a mile and quarter wide by 1S0 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. It 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 s'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

and who will pay for the service of watering his lands.
 The dam, which, when completed, will assure the people living on some 3,0O0,0oo acres of Egypt's most produc- tive land of bountiful crops, is being built across the river at point where the stream is 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 dam s 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 Sir John Aird and party of ladies and gentlemen crossed the Nile from bank to bank dryshod.

AN ENGLISH ROMANCE.
True story of . London Cabman Who Married n Rich Girl and Won
 Army Commission.

Basil Longwood awoke one morn- ing to find that he was pauper. His elder brother, upon whom the title had descended and who had been named as his guardian to care for his property and give him an income each year, was hopeless bankrupt. Investigation showed that were the estate sold it would pay but a small amount of the debts that the brother had incurred, and that the patrimony which Basirs father had left him had been squandered.
 Not single farthing of the for tune which Basil had once thought his own could he claim. His brother had not only brought ruin upon the family name, but disgrace as well, and to none of his former friends would Basil go for help.
 Basil went to London, and for weeks sought some sort of employ ment. He could find nothing. Final ly, when he was almost starving, he had an opportunity to get situation as driver of hansome cab, and ac- cepted at once.
 For four years he drove the cab. He had become somewhat embittered and he refused to battle with destiny. He said to himself that fate had con- spired to drag him down from his high position, and he would submit.
 One day, while driving in a street running into Hyde Park, phaeton drawn by pair of gray horses and driven by young girl came crashing into his cab, and threw him to the pavement. He was picked up and carried into drug store, where it was found he was badly hurt. The young woman who had driven the phaeton that had caused the aeci- dent, sat by him and expressed her sorrow for the unfortunate cab driver.
 When Basil was taken to the hos pital the young woman called upon him there. Every day she came and brought flowers and fruit and every thing that could add to Basips com fort. She would sit by his bedside by the hour and read to him from the books that he loved.
 It was some time before he found courage to ask her name. When he did it made him the more unhappy. She was Isabelle Varness, the daugh- ter of the baronet. Basil could only think of himself as cabman, and never for a moment would he permit himself ever to speak to Isabelle of love.
 But one day while he was asleep and the girl was sitting by him wait ing for him to awake, she bent down and kissed him on the forehead.

is about a mile wide, though the dam, with it's approaches, is mile and a quarter. The great openings in the masonry are the sluices through which the Nile will rush at flood time in future years. There are 180 of these suices. The dimensions of 140 of them are 24 feet high by 61a 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 leyels-that is to say where the highest parts of the isletS were-are not so large as the great lower sluices. There are 40 of these high-level sluices, and their di- mensions are 12 feet by $. They are placed at a higher level in the dam, chiefly for purposes of regulating the

IN THE WORLD OF LABOR.

The Painters union at atLeayenworth, Kan, and their employers have reached an agreement on a new wage scale of 30 cents an hour for eight hours day.
 The Retail Clerks union of San Francisco has been served with an in- junction restraining it from boycot- ting firms that refuse to accede to the early closing movement.
 The brewery workers in Houston, Tex, have won the eight-hour work day in all branches of their trade. This Is the first union of brewerymen hay won it.
 Broom-makers from the western and central states have formed protec- tive association at Galesburg. Price scales were agreed upon, and steps were taken to prevent competition from the output of penal institutions.
 The state of New York has 21 farm ers' unions, with headquarters at Binghamton. These agriculturists are banded together to protect their own interests. This they hope to do by working in harmony with other unions.
 It is being demonstrated by actual test that a single towboat can trans port at one trip from Pittsburgh to New Orleans 29,0oo tons of coal in barges. The boat and it's tows, worked by few men, thus carry as much freight as 5000 cars and 100 locomo- Sr

Enective Table Deeoration.

An effective table decoration may be made in liberty muslin in pale lemon color or white and gold. Ruck it up into center" and at the end opposite the carver form the initial of the host with slnilax or ivy. Then take some geraniums and pick out the petals, placing them at intervals on the smilax, to mark out the in itial more plainly. Put framework of ivy leaves and geraniums around the muslin center" and vase of geraniums and maiden-hair at each corner. This style can be varied by making the initial of forget-me-notes with lilies of the valley lightly placed among them, and in this case a pale green muslin center, with four vases of lightly arranged forget-me-nots and lilies of the valley, should be used.

TO RULE HUSBANDS.
Startling Development of the 9o8 Called New WomanHioo Among
 the Wives of Berlin.

Germany has of late years been tha stronghold of masculinity. The Gers man women have been held upas paras gons of all domestic virtues and stead- lastly opposed to new womanhood- But even in Germany the throne o1 man is shaking.
 Berlin now has m Association 6f Married Women for the Control o4 Husbands The constitution and byx laws haven't been made public, and the meetings are private, but the naxse alone opens broad vistas of Specula~ tion as to the functions of the associar ton.
 Presumably the women will all read papers and compare experiences, and the discussions will take on remin- iscent and anecdotal character that will make them even ivelier than So- rosis election day.
 Of course, American club women will look pityingly at their Teutonic sfs- ters' effort to throw off the yoke. Or ganized effort toward the control oA husbands isn't necessary over here. As the Wonderland Red Queen would say: "Oh, we passed that long ago.v
 Each American woman controls herr own husband with an ease that leaves her time and energy for problems more vital. Still, the German women huvo made step in the right direction.
 What the feelings of the German husband are when he sees his wife setr' ting forth to meeting of the "A. M. WE K. c. H. is beyond conjecturing.

What Princess Beatrice was for many years to Queen Victoria her closest friend and confidante, the youngest daughter of Edward VII, one of the late queens numerous name esakes, will be to Queen Alex andra. Victoria disliked intensely three things: gas, cats and old maids, and it was source of extreme an noyance that the youngest, cleverest and least plain of the Wales girls in sisted upon remaining unwed. But the father and mother of the willful young woman, whether they abetted her design or not, were at least ac- quiescent, and it is. fact that she had much more generous provision

 made for her than either of her sis ters enjoyed during their girlhood.
 Princess Victoria is 32 years old, and has lost the girlish prettiness which she once owned. She has an aristocratic face, but her features lack animation, and the general effect is rather heavy and dull She is very reserved, prefers books to balls, and quiet country life, with dogs, horses and a few chosen friends, to the gay round of society.
 Ther is fomantic story concern ing Princess Victoria. which purports to account for spinsterhood. It is said that she fell madly in love with a handsome young Indian prince who visited the English court some years age. The dark-skinned Prince Charming was amiable, enlightened, highly educated and fabulously rich, and he returned the princess affec- tion with ardor. He was enter tained at Sandringham, and in the course of a walk in the garden found an opportunity to propose to the young woman. She accepted him, pro- visionally, of course. A princess can do no more. The prince of Wales fa- vored the alliance, but the princess, remarkably proud woman, by the way, opposed it bitterly. The queen was also against the lovers. However, itwasnot deemed wise to refuse point blank so powerful a ruler, even if he were of subject race, so he was ad- vised to return to India and let the matter be discussed by the princess family, He went, and within q very

 Two years more labor will be re- quired before this great irrigat ton sys- tenn is completed, but when it is finally finished it is hoped that the water of the river upon which the hope of Egypt is founded will be so thoroughly un- der control that the land need no longer fear for her crops.
