,hs Way It Was Described by an
 Educated Native.
 (. j. Phillips. business agent in Uganda of the Church Missionary so- clety. throws light upon the workings or the native mind by quoting re- markable letter in which native member of the katikiro's brine minis ter'sb party gives description of the Uganda railway
 My friend, can tell you the Euro peans have done marvellous thing tc make the railway and the trains. They tasten ten or fifteen houses together and attach them to d fireplace which Is as big as an elephant. and the road 1t goes on is as smooth as the stem of a plantain. It goes as fast as a swal- low flying. and everything you see out side fits past you like spark from a hre. If 1t were to drop off one of the bridges not one in it would be saved Tor it goes dreadfully quick. The hills It passes are as high as those of Koki, and they have bridged over great val leys which are as deep as that you see when you look from the top of Nami rembo, so deep that you cannot see the bottom when you are going over them"
 Later there follows description of a ship: Ut is as deep as our two sto. ried house and as wide as the kings road in Mengo. and it is as long as from the katikiro's fence to the gate of the kings inclosure. It has three tall poles in it and big throat. out of which smoke comes, which is as wide as the new drum in the church at Ma mirembo. The rooms in it go down three stories, and the boards of these cannot describe to you. for such have not been seen before. There is lot of metal work about them, too. but these also cannot describe, for it is so fine. There are children on board and flock of sheep and places to wash in attached to every place where a chief sleeps. such as even our king has never ssessed."-London Strand Magazine.

A QUEER UNIVERSITY.
Cairo Has the Worlds Oldest Edue,.
 t;onaI institution

t;onaI Institution.
 "When We think of Harvard or yolo tn" former dating from l63S and the latter from 17O1, we think of them as old universities" says d writer in tho American Educational Review: but when we pass to the other side of tbe world we discover that even the oldest American Universities are in reality very young institutions.
 Ihe oldest educational institution in the world is the University of Fl Ashar, Cairo, fonndss, n the year 9SS by the graas Saia,!ii,. It is the central seat of learning for the whole Mo- nammedan world. as we'll as a foun- tain of spiritual life. It occupies an ancient mosque In the Arab quarter of Cairo. surrounded by confusing maze Of narrow streets where the population is made up of representatives of every race that follows the prophet.
 "The old mosque covers several acres and consists of series of courts sur rounded by long cloisters with low roofs supported by forests of columns. The floors of red tiles are covered daily by a multitude of men and boys, squat ting in semicircles around their teach CTS, who sit with their backs to the columns featuring in monotones.
 "The chancellor of the university is always a descendant of the prophet and is usually man of ability and learning. He occupies apartments in Ell Ashar and is not only the supreme educational but the ecclesiastical head of the church of Egypt.
 "There is no organization similar to that in modern universities Any rep utable man who desires to teach can obtain the privilege by application and Is assigned column where he may sit and impart the truth as he thinks proper. His fame or ability will at- tract more or less students and dis ciples, who pay him fees according to their means"

Keeping Time in Holland,

THE sC0LD's BRIDLE.
Brutal Punishment to Which Women

Brutal Punishment to Which Women
 Were Once Subjected.
 The prank, or scold's bridle. or gos- sips bridle, was neither pore nor less than a muzzle. It was in general use in Great Britain from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, and fin Scot land as we'll women were muzzled for certain Offenses, some at least of them more imaginary than real. The instru- muzzle, is uncomfortable How much more the scold's muzzle! It consisted according to high authority, Mir. w. levitt, of kind of crown or frame work of iron. which was locked upon the head. and it was armed in front with gag, plate or sharp cutting knife or point, which was placed in the poor woman's mouth so as to prevent her moving her tongue. or it was so placed that if she did move 1t or at- tempt to speak it was cut in a most frightful manner With this cage up. on her head and with the gag firmly pressed and locked against her tongue the miserable creature, whose sole of lending perhaps was that she raised her voice in defense of her social rights against a brutal and besotted husband or had spoken honest truth of some one high in office in her town, was paraded through the streets. led by chain by the hand of bellman. the beadle or the constable or chained to the pillory, the whipping post or market cross. to be subjected to every conceivable insult and degradation, without even the power left her of asking for mercy or of promising amendment for the future, and when the punishment was over she was turned out from the town hall or the place where the brutal punishment had been inflicted, maimed. disfgured, bleeding, faint and degraded. to be the subject of comment and jeering among her neighbors.-London Family Her. aid.

Coiors of the Stars.

Although there is no relation ap- parent betwen the two phenomena. yet 1t is interesting to recall the fact that among the stars certain cOlors ap- pear to characterize different stages Of change. or evolution. Red stars. ac- cording to the testimony of the spec troscope, differ widely in their consti- tuition from white or yellow ones. and it has been thought that varying col ors may give a clew to progressive changes in the heavenly bodies. Sirius. for instance. is said to have changed from red to white. and some have sus- pected that Arcturus Is fading from red toward yellow.

MANY STREETS
NAY Be PAVED

j. C.. Scott, who acted as chairman
of the weekly luncheon of the Com
mercial club today noon, sprung
something of a surprise along the line
of good road talk, when he. read a
petition, to be presented TO the city
council this evening, asking for the
paving of Birch street from Second
to Park street; Poplar street from First
to Palouse street, and East street from
Alder to Birch street. The speaker
said he desired to see at least two
other petitions presented the council
asking for like mprovements-one for
Fast Alder street from Clinton 10
Roosevelt. and another asking for
boulevard to the penitentiary.
Warden Reed has generously con-
sented to build the road as far as the
city limits, without expense to the city
or county, and good roads advocates
desire property owners to fall in line
with the move which would eliminate
the muddy street now In use between
the city and the prison.

That the state has decided to pur-

the sum Of $4,000, and secure therefrom
the material for the state crushing
plant was the statement made at the

the club appointed to secure the crush
er for this county. Mr. Morrow, in max

plant said he desired to square" the

missioners. the promise having been
made some time ago that, if the coun-

the club would see that state crusher
would be established there.
The land was bought, but through
unfavorable reports by State Geologist
H. B. Landis, together with other un-
favorable occurrences, no action has
been taken for the location there of the
plant. An appropriation of $4,000
was made by the state for the install
lation of five rock crushers, but after
the first was installed in the northern
part of the. state, a check-up of the
funds showed $21, 900 of the $4,000 to

"to use the present quarters until such
