"Glorious Bandits"

MUST IMPORT LOCAL NEWS.
Egypt Can't Publish Home News Till
Papers Arrive.

Cairo.-Considerable Indignation is
expressed here at the attitude of the
government in not communicating tc
the Egyptian press copy of the i'm
portant speech which Sir Eldon Gorst
made 10 the notables at Khartoum.
Usually communication is made tc
the press by special department, bu,
application to the Sudan and British
agencies here was met by the reply
that nothing was known of such a
speech. A cable from London, how
ever. declares the discourse a most i'm
portant one, containing, as it did e
reference to the continuity of policy
and since it interests Egypt principal
ly, the action of the government is in
comprehensible.
The Indignation has not been al
layed by notice just published by
the Sudan agency that Sir Eldon
Gorst on New Years day caught o
fish weighing % pounds in the Nile
II his exploits in the piscatorial line
are considered worthy Of publication
in Egypt. 1t is argued, surely his po
litical acts deserve the same consider
alton. AS it is, Cairo must wait for
the arrival Of the London papers in or

l;vered In its own country.

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way In Which II May Be Identified
Before Using.

After a building has been painted
long enough for weather test, 1t Is
easy to tell if the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not. But such
telated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is test that will
tell the quality of the paint before 1t
and the labor OF putting 1t on are
paid for.
Nature has provided way in which
genuine White Lead may be positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend .
cent on your painting.
Pure white Lead is made from me-
tallc lead, and, under intense heat,
such as is produced by blow-pipe.
pure White Lead willresolveitself back
into metallic lead. If, however, it is
not genuine White Lead. or il it con-
tains the slightest trace OF adultera-
ton. the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe" test Is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
IT, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the blow
pipe" or any other test. To make it
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re
quest a blow-pipe and everything nee,
essary for you to make the test. to-

Tame pigeons remain all day motion

Chickens remain motionless for hours

New iork-Dr. John d. Quacken-

drug which will make wicked men
good.
Inc doctor is former professor of
psychoIugy at Columbia university,
whose Sycho-therapeutic researches
have put him in the front rank among

Dr. Qnackenbos stated that observa

To restore the normal condition the

prescriboa.
The physician made this statement
while discussing the case OF Capt. Won
Goeben the German army officer, who
slew MAJ. Won Schoenbeck because of
infatuatiOn for the latters wife and
then pleaded that mesmerism and
witchcratt eNerted by the woman had
forced him to commit the murder
Capt Won Goeben was in love with
anotheF mans wife which is an IRA

Love is animal, spiritual and ration

case as We have show that the ration

Duration Of Animal Life.

A great variance as to Ienpth of Ife
appears among different animals.
Some insects live only for few hours,
while fish. elephants and turtles are
frequently centenarians. The average
life of the mosquito is three days.
Toads usually live to the age of about
10 years, while carp have been known
to reach a hundred and fifty. Chickens
live from II to Is years; dogs to the
age of 10 and occasionally Is, and par.
rots to extreme age. These birds have
been known to pass the age of 200
years. Turtles are also frequently cen
tenarians, as are storks, and elephants
are said to reach the age OF 300 years.

vines and wild flowers is difficult to
discern, but after they had gone few

says: Here we must leave our ponies

torrent, dashing through the bottom of

this, the noise of waterfall strikes

Five minutes later, Barnes holds up
his hand cautiously. Marinas glance
