A Radical on Egypt.
From London Truth. '

For my part, I have always believed that
we, and we alone, ought to he masters in
Egypt,for, if we are not, we shall not long
be masters in India. Our supremacy on the
Nile is just as geographically hecessary as
that we should be masters of the Irish Chan-
nel. ‘

Our real trouble in regard to Egypt has
been its connection with the Sultan. The
ruling Turks are a despicable gang of knaves, ’
whose main object is to maintain themselves
in palaces and villas on the Bosphorous by
sowing dissensious between European pow-
ers. They are no more fanatics for Moham-
med than the Jewsof England are for Moses.
With them religion is a mere cloak for preda-
tory habits. They want to have money, and
whether they obtain it in the guise of loans
or of blackmail is a matter of absolute indif-
ference .to__ them, for they never repay the
former. » :“Bfefore theOontrolwas established.
Egypt was blackmailed by'the Sultan, the
Pashas, the eunuchs and the Sultana‘s to the
extent of about £1,000,000 sterling per an-
num. Even the Control did not put a stop
to their illicit gains. I am-‘told upon =very
good authority that. during the last‘wtwo
years the Egpytian taxes. have'brought‘in a
good deal more than has been publiclyjstatcd,
and that a considerable portionof-thisssur-
plus has found its way to Constantinople.

the French allowed themselves to be drawn.
When Dervish was sent to Egypt his mission
was, if possible, to patch up some apparent
reconciliation between Arabi and the Khe-
dive, which would have been followed by
the deposition of the latter. The Sultan,
however, when the crisis came, was afraid of
discovery, and in the end Dervish, acting
under his instructions, urged Arabi to act

with moderation. But Arabi knew with ='

whom he had to deal. and he declined to put
himself in Turkish hands; in which, per-
haps, he was wise, for he would have been
strangled or poisoned as an inconvenient and

compromising associate.

The Home of Gold.

a rams areas or up: SIERRA MADRE—A
Lovan's UNSUC nosx.

, A story about which ere-isa fascination
which it is impossible to‘ mm when you
hear men tell it, is that of the “ Home of.
Gold.” Somewhere in Southwestern New
Mexico, says the Las Orucus Republican,- in
the SierraMadre, it is said there is a wonder-
ful valley. Small, enclosed in high rocky
walls, and accessible only by .a secret passage,
which is known to but few, is this extraor-
dinary place. ~ It is about ten acres in extent, -
has running through it a stream, which
waters it thoroughlyand makes it's perfect
Paradise, with its exquisite flowers and
beautiful streets. In it are thousands of
birds of the most beautiful plumage. Rant
niug across it he ledge of pure goldebout!
thirty feet wide, which glistens infill: ,sun-'
light like a great golden belt. Thejutream
crosses this ledge,.and, as it mny'mhrmurs
around blocks of yellow metal~~a§fgotherg
streams do around pebbles. The ledge of?
gold is supposed to be,soiid gold, and to run?
down into- the;.cent_re Sol the. earth’. ' The"
legend is of Indian origin, and- around it clus-
ters a number of Indian stories,irt:;1hhich the
name of the ill-fated Montezumafioccurs fre-
quently; The descendants oft-the Aztecs
believe firmly that the day willcome when
Montezuma will return and free them from
the dominion of the descendants of the Cou-
questodores. They believe that the money
necessary for this work will be taken from
the Madre d’Oro. The secret of the entrance
into the valley is carefully guarded by a
tribe of Indiana living near it, and among
them it is only communicated to the oldest
memamong theisoleuln ceremonies of the
medicine -lodgs'..=.3.~HaVllI'svz out. a story to
work upon, thereis little wonder that the
Vivid imagination of the Mexicans should
have built.._upon it tales of men who have
found this wendesful plscc' 'One is that of
a certain Jose Alvarez, who, while wander.
ing through the mountains in search of
game, saw the valley from the top of the

 

for by climbing down, he took up his abode
with the Indians. who guard the canyon lead-
ing to it. The-daughter of the chief; fell in
love with him and betrayed the secret to
him. Exactly how she found it out they do
not tell. Having been shown the entrance
Jose went in, and wouldpossibly have got-
ten away with some of thegold had he not
weighed himself down to such an extent
that he could not get up the declivity at the
lower end of the passage. He was discover-
ed, and the; Indians. sacrificed him on the
golden ledge,with'all the terrible ceremonies
of the old Aztec religion. She, in despair
at losing him, threw herself from the high
walls into the valley below. Hundreds of
prospectors have spent months of toll trying
to find the Madre d’Oro, but, it is scarcely
necessary to say, without result.

We find this story about Admiral Nichol-
son in the Tribune : At dinner one day on
his flag ship, the Lancaster, judt previous to
ills departure for the Mediterranean last fall,
a waiter, newly shipped, went to uncork a .
champagne bottle. He cut the strings, hold-
ing the head of the bottle toward the admi-
ral. The cork flew out with a “ p011.” and
a fountain of wine spurted over the dignified
commander of the Mediterranean ’fleet. The

-waiter was petrified with dismay, andstood
holding the bottle turned full upon his Vic-
tim till one of the admiral’s stng told the
man- to turn around, which he did, distribu-
ting what was left of the wine impartlelly
over the rest of the company. The.admlrai
did not move a muscle.

The first circus in this country‘started out
tit-“Putnam county, N. Y., in 1827 or 1828.
It had eight or ten performers, as many
horses, neither tents nor seats, and advertised
only by marching through the village visited
with a man ahead calling out the place of
exhibition, etc. The programme included

feats of strength, leaping, etc., and riding
without saddle, and the ring was pitched in

wherever convenient. After a time an
elephant was added, and from this ew the
messgeris addition. In 1832 the t tent

fger and trouble one is exposed to in acquir-

Advice so-Boys.

Every boy should know how to swim, and
it should be a part of every boy’s early edd-
cation. But even good swimmers are ex-
posed to the danger of drowning; and to
show what to do for an apparently drowned
person is the object of this article. When
life is supposed to be extinct, proper exer-
tions will often restore the circulation. and
establish breathing. It is estimated that a
minute and a hall's submersion is sufficient
to cause death by drowning, and hence the
necessity of rescuing a person from the wa-
teras quickly as possible, and using restor-
ative measures promptly, isfve'ry great.

. As soon as the body is taken from the wa‘
ter, the feet and lower part of the body should
heelevatcd, and the head allowed to hang
down, that the water may be ellowed to run
out of the throat and mouth as much as pos-
sible ;-' tbcn the clothing should be removed
from the upper part of the body, exposing
the chest. The person should thenbe placed
upon his back, with a roll of clothing or
something else convenient to form a pillow,
upon which the shoulders should rest. Then
some one present should take hold of the
.arms just below the elbow. and slowly raise
them above the head, so that the elbows may
nearly touch on a line parallel with the body;
then as slowly bring down the arms to the
side of tbe‘chest, pressing the elbows firmly
against the ribs. This movement must be
repeated many times, alternately extending
the arms, and replacing them by the side.
The object is to cause expansion and con-
traction of the chest walls, and thus mechan-
ically causing the entrance of air into and
exit from the lungs.

It is advisable, also, to see that the tongue
has not fallen back into the moutb,__and in
case it has done so, to seize it with the thumb
and finger, and draw it forward. Dashing
cold water in the face may also be tried. The
feet and legs should.be rubbed dry, and kept
warm by wrapping in dry clothing or blank-
cts if they can be obtained. _

' When the least sign of breathing is » seen,
the exertion should be actively continued,
and pressure made upon the chest walls at
short intervals to aid the expulsion of air in
the lungs, and allow fresh air to enter. If
ammonia is available, itshould. be poured on
a handkerchief, and held at a little distance
from the nose at occasional intervals; and
when the breathingjs established, if brandy
or some other stimulant, as whiskey or alco
hol even, can be procured, a small quantity,
say half a tea-spoonful in a teaspoonful or
two of water, should be cautiously given,and
repeated in fifteen minutes.

. After animation is restored, the person
should bewrapped‘ up warmly in blankets,
and seclusion should be observed. ’

g Efforts such as these are often rewarded
with success, and no one recently taken from
the water should ever be given up as drown-
ed until they are faithfully tried. It is never
hate for a boy to go in swimming alone, for
unforeseen accidents may occur, such as
cramps, or entanglement in weeds. Some
other hidden danger may spring up, as un-
expected force of current, or depth of water,
and then it is safer by far to have help with-
in cslling distance. . . .
It cities, swimming schools supply the

country. The feeling of security which' a
knowledge of the art of swimining secures

 

The Deadly Toy lPlstol.
Of the toy pistols which has ,caused so
many deaths among children from. .lockjaw,
the Boston Herald says .
“A thorough investigation of the nature of

The number. and. verietygof ,toy’: pistols ex-
tant are salmon”..innuanersble,tbut" the: one
which hasdone the most- harm basis- 5 bored
barrel and uses ablank 22cartridge, the ex-
plosive power of which is fully equal to that
sized cartridge wherever used. , The lock is
cheap, and constantly getting out or order.
In trying with the right hand to make the
hammer stay. at full cock the boy’s left hand
often inadvcitently slips over the muzzle,
and in fumbling round the weapon is dis-
charged into the palm, imbedding therein the
powder and wads, and producing such a lac-
eration of the nerves and sinews as to pro-
duce lockjsw. The weapon -was invented
some few years ago at Bridgeport, Conn.,and
in using it in its earlier form several accidents
occurred by pieces of the cartridge flying
back and striking the firer on the thumb and
fingers. In order to remedy this evil, what
is known as a ‘safety loop' was attached.
This is a sort of metallic hoop fastened tothe
barrel in such a way that it can be swung}
back sons to lie (between the base of the
cartridge and the hammer of the pistol—it
.must, indeed, be in this position if the cart-
.‘ridge is- to be exploded. Thus all injury to
the thumb and finger that were once in dau-
ger is prevented; but it is in adjusting this
loop that most of the accidents have been
caused. For, if one hand be occupied ~in
holdingthe-toy, it'l's natural that the. other
should be used for. putting the loop in place;
‘and in doing this simple operation, unless
one be exceedinglycareful, he will, before‘
he'is aware of it, catch himself holding this
second-hand for a moment directly over the
muzzle. The mechanism of a twenty-five-

not impair its perfection. Frequent snap-
ping of the hammer is likely to wear of!
enough of the metal to result'in an accident-
ai dropping of the hammer. Some 'of the
most reputable concerns in town‘tnat deal
in these pistols have longrefuwd to sell any
to children unless a written request from
their parents was presented, and go so far as
to say that the manufacture and sale _of the
toy should he stopped.

 

A Bear Shot by a Boy.

Mr. Sampson has a number of sheep graz-
ing on Swift creek, Trinity county, and
knowing the beauties of the climate in sum-
mer, removed his family to that place. One
evening last week his son and daughter, aged
respectively ten and'eight years, went down'
to drive the sheep into. camp, and found
them only a short distance away, homeward
bound, with a lerge bear following closely in
their wake. The boy told his sistertocroucb
down and hide in the bush, and he did'
likewise. .When the .bear. came along the
boy fired several shots at him with a revolver
which he had. Hearing .,the shooting and
not knowing what theymeant, Mr. Sampson
left the camp in a hurry to. see what occas~
ioned the shooting, and soon came in sight
of his children and the dog rushing excitedly

The boy yelled that he had hit him, and to
come quick or they would lose him. Samp-
son joined the chase and followed the trail
by the blood until‘it became too dark to see.
Next morning he went out'again and found
the bear dead only a short distance from
where they gave up the chase the evening-
before. The boy had shot him through the
body,just back of the shoulder.-,— Trinity Cal
Journal.

 

A case of grim justice, tinged also with a
dash of humor, occurred recently at the ses-
sion of the County Court at White Plains,
Westchester county, N. Y.. Judge S. D.
Gifford presiding. An old man of eighty-
two was brought before the court on a war-
rant in favor of the overseers of the poor
for the town of New Rochelle, to compel
him to support his son. a man of thirty-five,
who, on account of his intsmperate habits,
would otherwise become a town pauper.
Judge Gifford, in ' gof the case, said‘:
“The town grants t sse liquor dealers li-
censes to sell liquor; these dealers licensed
by the town create paupsrs, and; the town

Winning the Race With an Infe-
. rior.

The writer met the jockey of Rutherford
while dining at the Winter Palace at St.
Petersburg a short time after that huge
sporting wrangle, and in the course of a con-
versation on turf matters, the astute prod-
der of horsefiesh said, with a childlike and
ingenuous smile: _ _

“Would you like to know the dead inside
facts as to how that race was won 1"

“Why, you rode the best horse, didn't~E
you 1‘" _ .

“Not a bit of it," replied the jockey, with
,a grid. “The fact is that Rutherford was
only about the fourth choice, and was not
rated at more than eighth or ninth in the
pools. True Blue, Katy I’cnse, and Thad
Stevens all had the call over Ruthy. But it
happened that my horse was a ‘bolt'er,’ and
to steady him and prevent his 'flying the
track I put bIInders and goggles on him. You
noticed them, I suppose?”

“There were two horses rigged that way,"
we replied. '

“Exactly; Stevens Was a nervous critter
also, and as soon as his trainer saw how "the
goggles steadied my horse he put 'cm on
Thad too. The day before the race a big
idea occurcd to me. I got a couple‘of pairs
of magnifying lenses and quietly put ’em in
place of the plain glasses in the goggles of
both horses. Catch on to the idea P”

“Well, partly."_

. “The only difference was that in Stevens’;
bridles I faslened the glasses with the bulge"
inside, so as to make them diminishing glass-
es, don’t you see 1" .

“Like looking through the wrong end of
an opera glass, eh I"

“Exactly. The result was that while
Rutherford was encouraged all the way by
the course seeming. only a couple of hundred
yards long, the quarter flags appeared ten
miles apart to Stevens. You see a horse can
be discouraged just as well as a man."

. "Great scheme, that,"

“Well, I should smile. Ruthy thought he
was in for a little quarter race, and it kept up
his heart. so that when he had nearly done
the last mile and swung into the homestretch
and I called on him to let out his last link,
he thought the judges’ stand was right under
his nose, so he came home like an express
train on a down grade, but Stevens, who
thought he had about fifteen miles further to
go, went all to pieces, as you remember, and
almost lay down on the track, he was so
mentally caved in, as it were."—San Fran-
cisco Chroni'ck. .

 

The New Style of Sitting Cross-
Legged.

; "The newest way to modestly display a
fbot," writes Clara Belle, “is to cross the leg
which it belongs to over the other.' This
lifts the foot about six inches from the floor
and lets it hang in easy, graceful suspension.
The lower edge of the skirt should lie across
the instep so that only the front half of the
foot is shown; but that is sufilcient in the
present fragmentary state of slippers and
sandals to show a good bit of the- finely em-
broidered or delicately woven stocking. 'The
position in common one to the most. elegant
and refined girls in the pclitest circles of so—
ciety, not only here, but in London and Paris.
It is not in the least bold or awkward. Still,
my grandmother—dear oidlady—says that it
is vulgar for a woman to cross her knees.
She was taught so when she' was young, and
she stoutly maintains that the law on the sub-
ject has never yet been changed. She well
remembers a week spent in the same house
with Madame Jerome Bonaparte in Balti-
more, than whom sha believes no more lady

inches apart—no more and no less. She de-
clares that no girl with pretensions to delica-
cy should sit cross-legged. I have thus
stated both sides of the subject, leaving my
readers to'decide whethegthey will practice.
a pose that is both comfortable and artful, or
avoid it because-there is a tradition that it is
impolite. Isuppoae that-the sticklers will
pretty soon object to women crossing one
foot over the other. Even that feminine
habit of sitting on one foot to the peril of
getting it caught in the hustle, and making
the owner go hop-scotch on rising, will next
beassail d

 

 

General Grant never swears. In all our
acquaintance with him, we never heard him
utter a profane word. His example in this
respect was as consistent as it was conspicu-
ous. Most army ofi‘icers will swear when
they are excited. Gen. Scott used to swear.
Gen. Sheridan will put in an oath now and
then to give emphasis to his ideas, and Gen.
Sherman can make the air lurid with his
cursing. Not so Gan. Grant. We have been
with him in some of the most trying circum-
stances of his military career, and can tes-
tify that no cause of anxiety or of an er has
ever drawn any sort of an oath from h ‘ lips.

At a socialistic- meeting at Geneva, a
Frenchman was discoursing on the rights; of
mamthe infamy (if-king; and priests,and the
sacred dot of resistance to tyranny, when a
female vorce shrieked out: “Get down and

crator hesitated, and the summons weare-

said the president. “Not interrupt him i"
cried the citoyenne; "He is my husband. I

SCIENTIFIC plenum.

Mr. Bramc has tested the preservative prop-
, crty of hydrocyanic acid, with the result of
I finding the bodies of animals poisoned with
- it to successfuly resist decay for a year, al.
though at times exposed to a heat of one
hundred degrees Fahrenheit.

Observations by Herr Pernter show that
the sun shone at Vienna last year 1676.3
hours out of a possible 4472 hours, or only
thirty-seven per cent. During the winter
the greatest duration of sunshine was at mid-
day, but in the summer it was in the fore-
uoon ; in the winter there was more sunshine
in the afternoon than in the forenoon. The .
clearest month was July and the cloudiest
was October. The observations were made
by means of the Campbell-Stokes sunshine
recorder. _\

Measurements by Herren Hammer and
Holland of the movement of a large glacier
in North Greenland show its progress at the
middle to be about fifty feet in twenty-four
hours, the rate was apparently about the same
in winter as in summer.

The abundance of remains of the mem-
moth iu Siberia is remarkable. From the
fact that at least a hundred pairs of tusks are
annually put upon the market, Nordenskiold
infers that during the time' that has elapsed

more than 20,000 of these animals have been
collected. ‘ I

Recent “finds" are thought to throw a new
light on the history of the Swiss lake-dwellers
Among the objects found are a wheél with
an iron rim, irorl swords and many human
bones.

The inventor of the “fusing disc," Mr.
Jacob Reese, is credited with having ex-
pressed the belief that if it were possible to
produce a flameless combustion the intensity
and quantity of heat obtained from a given
amount of fuel would be very greatly in-
creased thereby. Mr. Thomas Fletcher, of
Warringten, England, has succeeded in pro-
ducing a combustion without flame, and late-
ly gave at Owens College a striking practical
illustration of the new theory. He directed
the flame of a simple gas blowpipe upon a
three-inch ball of iron wire for afew seconds
and then blew out the flame. The heat
rapidly increased and the iron quickly melt-
ed and run into drops. He even succeeded
in fusing refractory fire clay, the intensity
of heat being much greater than ever before
obtained with the fuel used. Even in the
dark the burning of the gas was shown to be
entirely invisible. It appears that flame
really indicates an imperfect combustion.

Three kinds-of light are produced during
thunder storms, and knowu as forked light-
ning, sheet lightning and ball lightning. Mr.
B. G. Jenkins, F. R. A.‘S., contends that
only the first of these is true electricity-
thunder-storms, according to his view, being

since the conquest of Siberia useful tasks from r '

property owners be prepared by the Clerk of this
Court hnd served by the Bailiff of the Borough

of the votes and orders passed at a meeting

mixture of hitrogen and oxygen about us,
the chemical union of the hydrogen and ox-
ygen causing the second form of lightning,
which appears to be almost wholly flame
among the clouds, and is the form most fre-
quently seen. The thunder is not so much
the noise of electric discharge us the report
of gas explosions. Ball lightning is proba-
bly not electricity, but gas in intense igni-'
tion. The harmlessness of the last two seems
to indicate their non-electrical character.

It is stated that in the volcanic districts of _
Italy an unusually high barometer is i'cgard-
ed as an indicationf of the approach of an
earthquake. If this belief is shown by sci-
entific investigation to be well-founded a
new field of usefulness will be opened to the
weather service in countries liable to violent
earthquakes.

The size of the rose-bush at Hildesheim,
Hanover, believed to be more than a thou-
sand years old, was erroneously stated. Its
height is about thirty-eight feet, and ;_its
branches extend to a width of about thirty-
four feet. .

The velocity of the wind is much greater
at high altitudes than on the earth, due prob-
ably to the resistance of the uneven surface
of the earth. Part of a recent balloon trip
across the English Channel by Mr. Simmons
was accomplished at the rate of 130 miles ail
hour,

“Oxygenized water,” or hydrogen dioxide
is attracting attentim in various ways, a
cheap process for manufacturing ‘it having
been announced. This substance is an oily
liquid, having a bitter taste, and differing
from water in composition only in contain-
ing twice as much oxygen. It is a powerful
oxidizing agent, and is the only bleaching
substance known which does not injure tex-
tile fabrics. Attempts have been made to
utilize it one large scale for bleaching pur-
poses, but the difiiculty of preparing isso ex-
pensive that it has been but little known. If
it can be made cheaply it will doubtless be
applied to many purposes. Messrs. Bert and
Regnard have suggested its use in treating
wounds, as it possesses advantages over car-
bolic acid in the absence of danger of poison-
ing and freedom from bad smell.

 

For. every young wife that can not cook
there Is a young husband who will not make
fires, carry ashes, split kindling or shovel
snow, and can not market because he does
not know a hawk from a hem—Illinois
Woman.

“I hope Charley’s doing no harm," cried
an affectionate mother to the nurse, who was
busy sewmg In the garden. “Oh! no mum;
he’s only coolin’ hisself in the shade.” Char-

“The meanest job I ever undertook," said
a Colorado man, "'was that of apologizing to
a widow on behalf of a vigilance committee
which had hanged her husband by mistake.
It was hard to‘ find' just the excuse that
would satisfy her."

The practice of going to England to travel
and restocosts the United States about 8125,-
000,000 annually. But we may as well sup-
port. the folks over. there in that way as by
staying at home and sending them food when
they get to starving—Sommille Journal.

A South end man calls his wife Crystal
because she is always on the watch—Bos-
ton Transcg'ipt. If we were disposed to de-
scend to thle sort of thing we might add that
she calicd'hlm Crystal because She so often
found him broke. There's a chance for a
heap of cheap talk on this subject.—Boeton

Scene-~A syivan retreat. Swell artist—
“I'm going to paint this cottage of yours.”
01d woman—"Aum gled to hear it, for it
hasn't been dune for many a lung day; a'vc
been at the laird ower an ower again, but he
never heeded.” After a brief pause—“But,
losh, man, whaur’s yer pail au’ brush 2” Col-
lapse of artist.

An Arkansas woman who was fined by a

I magistrate $8 for using abusive language to

a neighbor, had no money, but the obliging
justice took twenty-one steel traps in full
payment of fine and costs, and the no less
obhgmg attorney who represented her. in the
trial,.took a spotted dog for his fee.

Mrs. Jones went to a picnic the other day, '
one of those quiet picnics with no fuss, where
you get up at 4 o'clock in the morning, pack
.011” four children and ten lunch baskets, and
58d around in the beat all day—and it made

Ire. Jones so tired that she had to do two
days' washing, before she felt rested.

A suddenly rich and very muscular young
man from the oil regions stopped at a seaside
hotel the other day for. the first time, and had
great dlfiieulty in getting anything to eat. A
sympathlzing stragef at his elbow whispered
“You Will starve; here if you don’t tip the
waiter}: Two minutes afterward the waiter
found himself tip ed over on to the floor.
'lrvhe young man dl not starve—Philadelphia
ewe. ~

Chance for a stake : They were burying a
man who had died in southern Indiana,when
a tramp leaned over the fence and inquired:
‘Was he a statesman i" “No." “Orat'ir ?”
“N0." :“POCIJ” “NO.” "Great invenhol', 0r
anything or that sort?” “No , he was simply
an honest man." “Oh. that's it, chi Wh

don't his widder take the body over to Chl-
cago and put it on' exhibition and make a
stake!" .

A female who may well be described as a

heuomenon is just now being exhibited in
London. She is just 18 years of age, and is
said to be eight feet two inches in height. To
crown the matter she is atingrowing. Her
face is rather preposessing, and her feet are
simply prodigious. .The' only disagreeable
peculiarity of this fair_ giantess is that. she
cannot hold her-self easily erect. ‘She always
appears to be sitting or falling down.
