PASSING of Papyrus.

One Of the modern mysteries Of
Egypt is the disappearance Of the
papyrus plant that once fringed the
lower Nile.and made desirable haunt
for water fowl. A botanist, recently
from Cairo, declares that in all lower
Egypt the only papyri now growing in
a natural state are in the Esbekieh
Gardens fountain at Cairo, the botan-
ical gardens and at the Barrage. Per-
haps Isaiah may have thrown the evil
eye on the plant, for among his prophe-
cies is the destruction Of the paper
reeds by the brooks" If we did not
have ancient illustrations to guide us
it would be impossible from the pres
ent scanty remains to reconstruct the
amazing fields of papyri that indirect
ly helped to civilize us.-London Tat

A FAVORED REGION

The manifold advantages of Central
Minnesota and especially Western
Central Minnesota as an ideal agri-
cultural region were never so mani
festly apparent as they are under the
peculiar climatic conditions that have
existed during this remarkable sea-
son. May and the early part OF June
have broken all previous records for
the amount of rainfall and the chilli
ness of the atmosphere. This con-
dition has not only prevailed in this
state but has extended from coast to
coast. Everywhere the season has
been excessively backward and frosts
have continued to fall later than has
been the case for many years. AS
result those crops that are susceptible
to chill and frost and are dependent
on heat and warmth for growth and
maturity are in a state of backward
ness seldom existant at this season OF
the year, and in those localities where
such crops form the principal source
of revenue the farmers and business
men are correspondingly respondent.
There are large stretches of country
where to use the vernacular Of the To-
cality "Corn is King" and any all to
the King is a public calamity. There
are other localities where fruits are
the main dependence of the husband
man and a frost falling on bud and
blossom means blight and failure and
serious depletion Of the main source
of revenue, and it is in these regions
gloom and depression prevail In
every "one-crop" country, whenever
conditions unfavorable to that crop
exist, business stagnates and times
are hard. 1t cannot be otherwise.
Here is where our locality shines
and satellites. It is the land Of di-
versifcation. If the weather man
hands a jolt to some one production
that jolt becomes a boost for some
other crop. We raise as fine corn as
can be found anywhere and corn is
an important item of our agricultural
revenue, but failure of the corn crop
would only be an incident not a dis
aster. Much fruit is produced but
complete destruction of the same
would only be an inconvenience, not a
financial calamity.
Our splendid opportunities for di-
versifcation practically render US i'm
mune from any assault of the weather
man.

A Town Of Distinction.

where can one find a more filthy,
hot, sweltering. odorous town than Ho-
deidah?" asks a recent traveller regard
ing that Arabian port. A filthier town
it would indeed be difficult to discover,
even in Asiatic Turkey, and the char
acter Of its inhabitants may be judged
from the fact that the Akhdam Arabs,
who are treated as outcasts by all the
other tribes, have been allowed to es-
tablish themselves In Hodeidah. New.
ertheless the port is the gateway to
one Of the most beautiful. fertile and
populous regions of Arabia and had a
fourishing trade in days prior to Turk
ish misrule.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Small AnviIs.

The anvil that rings to the sturdy

or 400 pounds, but there are anvils
whose weight Is counted In ounces.
These are used by jewellers, silver
smiths and various other workers.
Counting shapes. sizes. styles of finish.
and so on. these little anvils are made
in scores Of varieties. ranging In weight
from fifteen ounces up to a number Of
pounds each. All the little anyils are
Of the finest steel. They are all trinity
finished. often nickel plated. and those
surfaces that are brought into use are
made as smooth as glass.

THE OLD SYSTEM AND THE NEW

In the years past it was always
considered a good policy after state
officials had held an office two or
three terms to make a change and
give it to another. 1t was almost an
unwritten law that a Governor should
not serve more than two terms and
the minor officials not more than
three, an official was considered "a
Their presumptious if he asked for
longer service. In this way it was pos
sible for the different parts Of the
state to be represented at the capitol
and there was constant infusion OF
new blood in state officialdom. At
local caucuses and county conventions
candidates were discussed and dele
gates instructed, and in this way the
people had some voice in the selection
of candidates and man outside OF
the regular occupant Of the office
stood some show of securing a nomi-
nation and an election.
Under our present system all this is
changed. When a man is elected to a
state or national office, if he makes
fairly good, he might as well be given
the position for life, and the farce of
holding and elections done away with
for the result is always the same. A
man holding an office under our pres
ent system has at least thirty per cent
advantage over any outside Compel
itor for the same place. 1t would take
an outside man six months time and
cost him at least $4,000 to put him on
an equality in a primary competition
with any of our present officials as
far as publicity is concerned and then
the chances would be largely in favor
of his loosing even if he were the bet
ter man.
This may be as we'll for the country
at large but it is not American and it
is not democratic as is condition for
eign to the ideas of the founders of
the government who never contem-
plated the creation of a perpetual Of
flee holding oligarchy.
