 Halloween, which o,curs on the evening of October 3Is,, is an Oo,asslOn of popular superstiuons and obssrvanees ln many Christian l-nds. The Scotch arc sspeeIal- lv lntei ested ln the occasion.

 ln Scotland the day Is won't to be esls brated by gatherings of young people Of both sexes, when various mystical or play ful ceremonies are peri Jrmed, with the view of revealing future husbands or wives, as the superstition of the diy Is that the fairies are especially concerned with hvmen's altar, and that thsv are exceedingly anxious to set the passions cf the young ueopls to moving ln the right direction.

A woman in prison, accused of the highest crime, is pretty certain to receive great deal of masculine sympathy which doesn t express itself in flowers and cake. but is often enough manifested in a more effective way in the jury's verdict. A man. if his crimes exhibit personal bravery, stirs up what the men call 'maudlin sympathy in impressionable feminine hearts, but which seems to be no more perennial and irrepressible than the mems compassion for wo- man in distress. though she may be undoubtedly guilty. But criminal who is not honorable with his own kind is generally eXccrated.

A Fine Object Lesson.

While the people of the Salt River valley have been talking about under taking the greatest storage enterprise in the United States. the British gov ernment has gone ahead and completed the largest reservoir in the world, and it is an interesting object lesson as to what can be accomplished in storing water when engineering skill and capi- tai are combined. On Wednesday, July 30, the last stone was placed in the great dam across the Nile at Assouan. One of the most remarka ble feat of this vast work is the brief time which has elapsed since the construc- tion started. All told the time con- stunned has been little more than three years.
 The dam is designed to form an enor- nous storage basin for the waters of the Nile to be used during the EGyp- tian dry season for irriga tion. The quantity Of water which will be inn pounded is so great that the mind can hardly comprehenPit-une billion tons. The Assou"n dam will raise the wate, 66 feet abive the level of the river; the Tolto Basin dam will raise the water 1S0 feet. The area submerged hy the Assouan reservoir will be l II miles long and mile wide, on the average: the Tonto reservoir will cover about 2j square miles. The total cost of the As f1r hoe q, the Tonto will cost two millions. It is estimated that the Nile dam will fur nish water for the reclamation of 6UG, eco to 10000 acres of desert, and ir addition supply fully the 5000, ,Oe0 acres now under partial irrigation. and it Is

The First Trusts.

The New York Commercial inquiries: Who organized the first trust in the history of the world Who is the man or woman that could rightfully claim the distinction of having projected and promoted the very first 'capitalistic combination?
 An industrious octopus hunter has been good enough to go back and SCOUT up the records. He finds that the earl jest form of a trust" that ever existed was undoubtedly the ccrncring of food siuffs by monarchs and their agents. Accounts of such transactions are to be found in Assyrian records dating back 1000 to 5000 years.
 1 The Romans, too, were not such bad 'monopolists' in their way, considering their lights. They did the same thing through their tax farmers who laid cmbargoes on their food supplies of the provinces against arrears Of taxes; and the probability is that similar opera ticns were also conducted with regard to manufactures.
 Another form of monopolies, known as trade guilds, has existed from the very early times, and these, in the middle ages, amounted practically tO the corneling of certain arts and in dustries as well as means of distribu- ton. The greatest of them was the famous League of the Hanse Towns. So close a combine was this that it possessed it's own fleets of armed mcI- chantmen and even armies of merce- naiics. in order tu guard is monopoly "a length to which no modern capi- t;llists have yet Venturcd to pro cced. As q matter of fact, the British
 Indian empire grew out c1 q conflict between trading monopolies of thi. kind. and India is Great Britain: territory today because the British mo- nopOlists won out.
