A striking indication Of the change OF
heart which France has recently expert
enced in regard to England may be found
In a leading article on the English occupa-
ton of Egypt which appeared the other
day in the Paris Steele. The writer re-
marks that France is entitled to regret
that the English had been alone in Egypt
for twenty years, but had no right to re-
proach them for It.. 1t was only just to
recognize that their administrative work
had been good and beneficial, and this is
England's best justification before the CIV
uized world. Referring to the latest re-
port Of Lord Cromer and Lord Miners
book, England in Egypt" the article
contrasts the present satisfactory condition
of Egypt with the state of the country on
the morrow of the revolt of Aribi Pasha.
The English, it says. face to face with two
methods of procedure, chose the better
course Of building up a sound internal
government, and TO them is due the grow
ing prosperity of Egypt.

The political tangle in the Austro-Hun-
Rariau empire is constantly becoming more
intricate. There Is uneasiness among the
Young Czechs over the growing influence of
the radical element in their party, which
threatens to divide and weaken 1t. The re-
cent defeat of a young Czech candidate by
a Czech radical deputy In Bohemia pre-
voked an earnest appeal from Dr. krar.-rz'
the most able of the young Czech leaders,
who, in a speech TO his constituents In
sisted upon the wisdom OF a moderate pol
lev and the danger Of radical measures. lie
declined to admit any personal responsible
ity for the abandonment Of Czech obstruc-
ton in the Reichsrath, but pointed out that
the young Czechs had only agreed not TO
oppose the first reading OF the Austro-Hun-
garian compact. This would not prevent
them from putting stumbling blocks in the
path OF the government later on Aboy,
All he warned them against any policy
which would disunite them. and thus dimin-
lsh their power OF resistance against the
rising Hood Of pan-Gemanism.

When the bishop of Truro. DR.. Gott
was dean of Worcester his absent
mindedness was so notorious that he
earned for himself the sobriquet Of
Dean ForGott:''
On one occasion he had invited some
friends to dine with him. On their ar
rival. short time before the dinner
hour. he suggested that in the interval
of waiting his friends would perhaps
like to walk through the grounds.
After spending about q quarter of an
hour in admiring the flowers. shrubs
and greenhouses they suddenly came
upon door in the garden wall.
.Ab" said the dean to his astonisled
guests. This will be a much nearer
way for you to so home than By going
back to the 'front.' And. forgetting
his invitation. he opened the door and
bowed them out:

The Grand Canyon.


Once. crossing little tributary OF

splashed on my clothes hardened to a
lump Of mud and that where the wa
fer was but foot deep my horse was
nearly washed away by its force.
That fact. Roger Pocock says in an
article in Pearson's, told me the secret
of the Grand canyon. Like the Nile,
the Colorado flows through a desert.
but the river OF Egypt meanders softly
and muddy over low plains, spread
ing when 1t is full into harmless lakes.
whereas this headlong sluiee Of run

has sawed through the lifting; rocks.
,The conntry has risen to height Of
5000 feet. while still the Colorado
flows at the ancient level, only 1900
feet above the sea. That is the reason
Of this profound abyss for 600 miles
through the very foundations Of the

The meeting of the Retail Merchants
Association was not held last week
for lack of a quorum. At the ap-
pointed hour the president, four other
members and dog we're all that were
present, and no business could be
transacted. The association could be
made an influential agency for the
development of the city commercially
and industrially but if the members
take no more interest in the organiza-
tion than they have eyinced thus far
it will rot only fail to accomplish the
objects for which it was organized
but will soon go the way of the Cham
Der of Commerce, the Board of Trade,
and the Business League, organiza-
tions that have bee. formed here at va
rious times within the past ten or a
dozen years. They were organized with
much enthusiasm, hourished for a
brief period each, and died peaceful
death unnoted and unlamented. 1t is
not that Sumter does not need such an
organization, for no place could need
it more, nor is there a town in the
State that could be more benefited
by having an active and we'll couduct-
ed organization constantly at work to
develop our natural advantages and to
promote trade and manufacturing in
dustries.

even when apparently dead. An old
writer on the subject describes how,
during very wet May, he discovered
a hive which had been working we'll
previously whose tenants seemed TO be
dead. but by putting few Of them
into his hand and breathing upon them
for several minutes he at last observed
some mctoa at the second joint Of
their horns. By persevering he re-
vived them all. and they became the
best hive in his garden. He is. how
ever, careful to remark that those who
use ponnatum. perfume or hair powder
should not make too free with the in.
sects during the process Of restoration.
The secret. of course-though at one
time the thing was regarded as mirac-
ulous-is in the warmth conveyed: but.
besides this. there is no doubt that bees
are reused by human breath. to which
they have such an antipathy that they
are much more easily handled if the
operator draws his breath gently and
takes care not to direct it against them.
