QUEER SIGHTS IN EGYPT.
The Spectacle That Greets the Eye mt
the Assuan Dam.

The Spectacle That Greets the Eye mt
the Assuan Dam.
Boats are making fast along tie
river bank, some coming down the
Nile from Khartum, some coming up
the Nile from Cairo" writes Jerome
Hart in a description Of the queer
sights of the great Assuan dam in
Egypt. "The quay along the river Is
semi European, or rather Levantine,
its buildings, with arcaded fronts, like
those one sees in Algiers and other
Mediterranean cities. Tourists In the
latest fashion pass along this bouie-
ward, on foot, on horseback, on dom
key back and in carriages. Every
combination of costume may be seen.
Here comes an old man "a Europeam
In a high silk hat and white KID
gloves. Behind him skips a Bisha-
reen boy of fifteen, his shiny black
skin exposed to the cool breeze, his
curly hair lustrous with grease. Next
comes an American girl In thin mus
lin gown, a chip straw hat, mounted
on a donkey. Behind her rides an ell
derly Egyptian official, sour faced and
fezzed. all crouched up and apparent
ly shivering. on his donkey, with
.;ery heavy cloak gathered about his
shoulders.
Next comes a squad Of Soudanese
soldiers in khaki uniforms and khaki
colored fezzes, with riding breeches
and puttees on their powerful bit
lanky legs. They carry little 'swag-
ger Switches like those Of Tommy
Atkins, and are modelled on him In
other respects, but have faces 80 hid
eously ugly and incredibly black that
they make you fairly stare. Behind
them again Is another native group,
this time of Bishareens. They differ
from the Egyptian Arabs and the Su-
danese. There is nothing Of the Ethi-
opian about their faces except their
skins, for they have the same rich,
glossy, stove polish black that the SD
danese have. In other respects they
are utterly dissimilar, for they have
straight noses, fine features, oval
faces, kind eyes and are often very
handsome, except for their color.
They usually wear but one garment,
dirty cotton shirt.
Here comes a Mohammedan lady

lips at the bidding of that picture In

THE CALIFORNIA KING SNAKE.
The Mortal Enemy Of the peadI,
Rather.

The Mortal Enemy Of the Deadly
Rather.
That a small, harmless little snake.
scarcely larger round than ones fin
ger and only fifteen to twenty inches
long. should be called the king
snake" seems rather odd. but the lit
tie fellow has certainly earned the
name. A pet king-snake in a mining
camp out on the desert mountains
east Of San Bernardino. Cal. was
name, and when called would come
crawling rapidly out from various
hiding places, such as crevices In the
stone walls of the cabin. under the
bed, among clothes. and from his
favorite place in the coat pocket Of
Jim, one of the miners.
One day Jim was going down an
abandoned shaft. When he had
nearly reached the foot Of the lad
der he heard a slight rustic, and
quick as a flash King jumped out Of
his pocket and dropped to the bot
tom. There was a thrashing sound
and also the noise Of a rattle snakes
rattle; then all was quiet Jim
waited a moment or two before
going further down, and as 1t was
too dark to see well, he struck a
match and lighted his candle and
held 1t cautiously down. There lay
dead rattle-snake, and King coiled
beside him, watching.
Another day, as the boys were
talking In the cabin. Jim looked out
through the door and saw a very
large rattle-snake slowly crawling up
the sandy arroyo about thirty or forty
feet from the cabin door. King was
called Immediately. and quickly
came out from under the bed. Jim
and stepped to the door to show the
rattler to him, but King saw him, and
sprang from Jim's hand quick as
flash. Then ensued one Of the oldest
battles, which showed how King
earned his name, and why rattle
snakes are so terrified when they see
| king-snake.
King sped like an arrow after the
rattler The rattler saw King and al
once put all the energy he had into
his speed. He saw King coming, and
knew that he would soon overtake
him. His only safety lay in coiling
and If possible striking King.
| The rattle snake had just time 10
raise his head about six inches when
King overlook him. 1t looked as II
King was going on by the rattle
snake. But when the middle OF
Kings body was opposite the head OF
the rattler, with a motion too quick
to be seen, King wrapped his entire
length round the rattle snake. King
head was next to the rattlers, but
so tightly was King coiled rouno
that the rattler could scarcely move
even his Jaws. His tongue ran out
and death came almost Immediately.
| King hung on until the snake was
dead, and then slowly uncoiled ana
came back to the cabin.-Youfh

A roar of laughter greeted the first

player released became at once the
enemy of the survivors. until silence
seemed the only refuge from the fatal
utterances. Croydon protected Miss

signal for rising, no one but Leslie

st. Paul Farmer: The flax
crop has been one of the most
important Of the cash crops
grown in the northwest. Where
it was formerly grown success
fully it's growth has been ser.
lously abandoned in some local
tiles for the reason that disease
has been introduced in the form
of fax wilt which greatly reduc.
ed the yield. The methods OF
culture have also been careless
in many instances and this has
made it impossible to secure
anything like the return that
would be obtained under other
conditions.
Farmers will find that fax can
lbe grown indefinitely and with
out reduction in the crop if the
following suggestions are given
due attention. First, it should
not be grown more frequently
probably than from three to five

Experience. has shown that es-
pecially on worn land it is better
to have an interval of the dura-
ton referred to between the
crops. Second, the aim should
be to sow it il possible on over
turned sod. This, however. is
not a necessity providing the
land is kept in good condition
and clean. Third, it is very i'm
portant indeed that The seed
should be thoroughly clean. All
the light seed being rejected and
if there is the slightest danger
of flax wilt the seed should be
treated with the formalin treat
ment. We have no sympathy
with the view chat crops must
necessarily deteriorate in any
country. The history of Great
Britain and some of the older
countries Of Europe show that
all kinds of crops may be inreas-
ed notwithstanding that the land
has been titled for hundreds of
years.
The experiment station is
doing some good work in the in
