RELY ABSOLUTELY ON NILE
Without the Rivers Annual Inundation
Egypt Would Be Literally
Barren Waste.

Usually on June Is the foundation
of the Nile commences, the greatest
height being at the autumnal equinox,
after which the waters subside until
the following April. The great adj
vantages which Egypt derives from the
annual rise of the river and saving of
the country from barrenness, has
caused the Nile to be known by the
inhabitants as the most holy river,
they believing that 1t draws its source
from Paradise.
In former days 1t had its appointed
priests, festivals and sacrifices, and If
its rising were delayed by single day
they took the most beautiful maiden
they could find and dressing her rich
ly, drowned her In the waters as vie
tim to turn away the gods anger and
merit his favars. The caliphs abolished
this cruel sacrifice. Substituting one
less barbarous, they threw into the riv-
er letter in which 1t was commanded
that the waters rise IL 1t we're the will
of God.
1t has been stated that tie quality Of
the Nile water is such that 1t is highly
extolled for drinking purposes and no
matter how long kept It does not be-
come impure. HtfH s

Blessing the Alpine Ropes.

Every summer, at the beginning of
the climbing season in the Swiss poun-
tains, a solemn service Is held among
the guides, many of whom are cody
men who know they take their lives
IN their hands when they ascend the
Alps. So they bring their ropes with
them and lay them at the foot of one
Of the mountains. Old and new ropes
are piled in heap, and then they are
blessed by the pastor. Prayer is Of
fered that the old ropes may still bear
the strain safely and that the new
ropes may prove equalto all the stress
placed upon them. The guides are
commended to the mercy of God that
in their daily ascents they may be kept
safe and that tfley may succor the
travellers who trust in them--r. H.
