The Magic Wheel.

Persons interested in the occult will find
entertainment in the latest book by John
Strange Winter, entitled The Magic
Wheel" The plot of the story is a some
what frail thread upon which are strung
various experiences with London palmists
and clairvoyants. The heroine, the young
wife of a naval officer in the British serv-
ice having a strong leaning towards the
supernatural, a tendency increased by
great bereavement, turns towards the
apostles of the unreal in the hope OF COM
fort with more success than usually fol-
lows such experiments. The scenes at the
different seances are we'll told and seem 10
bear the hall mark of actual experience.

Margaret Vincent.

This story, by Mrs. w. K. Clifford, author
of 1.-The Love Letters Of a Worldly Wom-
an" Mrs. Kleth's Crime" and other
tales, is less intense" and tragic than
some of the earlier productions, and there
fore likely to be more pleasing to the av-
erage reader. 1t is a story Of rural Eng
land for the most part. though the scene
changes to London and the LONDON stage
during one interval. Mr. Vincent, a gen.
tleman in the best sense and brother 10
lord, marries rather late in life the widow
of a farmer beneath him in social station.
The life OF the pair is for many years quite
an idyllic one, and though the tale is de-
voted mainly to the love AFFAIRS or their
daughter the affection Of the girls simple
minded mother for her husband is one OF
the most pleasing and artistic portrayals in
the book. Margaret Vincent is a good

1t is TO be hoped State Superintendent
Jones may succeed in discovering who gave
out the teachers examination questions in
advance of the examinations. 1t is not
pleasant to think that any person connected
with the public school service would be
guilty Of so fragrant fraud. and still less
pleasant to know that some candidates for
teachers certificates were willing TO profit
by it. A person who would be a party TO
such a transaction is manifestly unfit to
have anything to do with the education of
children.

them. "A Story Of Life as 1t Is in Town

populated and unsatisfactory tale. The au-

good material, but seems unable to handle

Mayor Bookwalter is clearly right in his
main contention that the interurban rail-

tabiish terminal facilities for freight bust
ness. THIS is equivalent TO saying that

adding materially to the congestion which
already exists and creating a situation
which. in a few years. would become intoi-

ton for all time. and to settle it right The
city needs the interurban lines. but pri-
marily as means of passenger traffic. In the

afternoon. The crowd Of several hun
dred listened attentively to all the
speakers. It would be hard to say
which of the candidates for the senate
made the most favorable impression.
It was evident that each one had
friends In the audience and not one
will fail to get votes here. During
an electric storm in the Heath Springs
vicinity Friday night, lightning struck
the dwelling of Mr.. w. T. Mobley,
knocking off a good many Of the shin
giles and injuring the corners Of the
building except one where the light
ming rod was grounded. The light
ming entered every room in the house
doing some damage. In Mr.. Mobley's
bedroom the facings Of window were
knocked out and fell across the bed
where his children were sleeping.
Scarcely a minute before the bolt came
Mr.. Mobley had gone to this window
and lowered it. 1t Is marvellous that
none Of the family were injured. The
same night lightning struck a tenant
house on Mr.. w. C. Mobley's place, oc-
cupied by Alex Walker, colored. 1t
ran down the chimney, knocked clock
and other articles from the mantel
board, but did no material damage.
Mr.. L. r. Rollings' ginhouse was struck
the same night and one portion Of the
roof torn off and corner Of the build
ing knocked out. The same night the
houses Of Mr.. James Magill, Mr.. Lucius
Bell and Mr.. James Broughton, few
miles west of Heath Springs, and
within a few miles Of each other, were
also struck by lightning; but we have
been unable to learn the amount OF
damage done to them. Mr.. Bells is
the house which was partially wrecked
by a cyclone several weeks ago.

IGNORANCE OF GEOGRAPHY.
A Failing That IL Quite Common tt
Otherwise Informed People.

"A thing about Americans which has
surprised me more than anything else,
said a German artist, who has been
visiting in this e.. Or six months past
according to the New York Tribune
"is that with all your patriotism you
know so little about the geography OF
your own country, to say nothing of the
rest of the world" ;;
There were several Americans In the
circle and they looked rather surprised:
None of the men spoke. They knew
that they were weak in geography and
that here was a challenge which would
have to pass. !:
Not so a bright young woman OF ~:
who rushed into the breach with her
head in the air.
I'VE do know the geography OF our
country" she said, decidedly. "Of
course we do. Every child learns 1t In
school,
might ask you question or two?
the foreigner said quietly. 1.-THE names
of the capitals Of some of your states,
for instance?"
Certainly, I'll be glad to answer
and she nodded confidently at the
young American man who was already
beginning to fear for her.
What is the capital Of Massachu-
setts?" was his first question.
Boston" was the prompt answer
from the girl.
"And of North Carolina?"
That seemed to puzzle her little, and
it was a full minute before she an
swered "Charleston!"
The foreigner smiled, but made no
effort to correct her. What Is the
highest mountain in the United
States?" he asked.
1T Is not fair to ask about noun
tains," she protested. "You said did
not know the capitals"
1.-THE capital Of Illinois is?'
"Chi-Springfield, I mean.''
"Of Montana"
For the life Of her she could not
think of a town in Montana. Its been
an age since studied geography she
explained.
"Your answers were better than the
average" said the man. "You got one
right out Of four. AS said. American
geography surprises me-"

AN ABLE YOUNG RULER.


Khedive of Egypt Has a Most DIM
cult Position to FIJI.
"The most difficult position on earth
is held by a very young man, not over
30 years DID," said the Baron Max OPP
penheim, German diplomatic agent at
Cairo, Egypt, who spent the past two
weeks in Washington, and who Is now
on his way to California. 1.-THE person
to whom I refer Is the Khedive Abbas
who, as the ruler Of Egypt, has about
as hard a time to please all parties as
one could we'll imagine. His position is
the most difficult in the world, for the
reason that on the one hand he must
please his Mahometan subjects and on
the other must so conduct himself as
not to give offence to the English, who
are the real masters of Egypt.
However, the young khedive Is an
exceedingly clever person and has thus
far succeeded in keeping all hands con-
tented. He Is a devout Mahometan,
and goes to mosque on Friday as reg
ularly as the day arrives. Yet, while
this Is true, he does not carry his Ma
hometanism to the extent of maintain
ing a big harem and a large number OF
wives. He has only one wife, to whom
he is perfectly devoted, although under
the Mahometan law he Is entitled to
four, with as many slaves as he can af-
ford. Thus, while satisfying his sub
jects on the score Of religion, he at the
same time does not make 1t offensive In
the eyes Of Europeans.
"Abbas comes of a wonderful family,
of which Mehemet Ali was the founder.
and under whose sway Egypt has made
wonderful progress. Mehemet Ali the
Great was born in the little town Of Ca
valla: in Roumelia, and got into the
Turkish army by reason Of an act of
bravery which a Turkish general hap
pened to witness. He was appointed
Pasha Of Egypt just after the French,
under Napoleon, left it, and out of the
worst chaos imaginable he evolved Or
der. His descendants have followed In
his footsteps, so that today Egypt is
one of the finest regions under the sun.
The Khedive Abbas and his younger
brother, Prince Mehemet Ali, are both
very much interested In the army, in
railroads and in agriculture. Last year
when the railroad from Alexandria was
completed to Khartoum the khedive
was present at the later point to drive
the golden spike. One OF the things
in which he takes the most Joy and
pride in his model farm, not far from
Cairo. and lying in the Nile valley
