The Sudan l-J xpedltlon.
In ordering the military movement
into the Nubian Sudan, Lord Salisbury
has given asnflicicnt answer to France’s
oft repeated question when England
means toclear out of Egypt. The un-
Inver is practically. Not Ihis year any-
how.
Wally-Haifa. the first objective poitt
of the new expedition to the Sudan, is
all the Nile, and the southernmost
Egyptian outpost. The Nubian Sudan
lies along both sides of the Nile south
of Egypt. The British soldiers will pro-
ceed from Cairo south lilomiles by rail.
Thence to Wady~Hulfa. 250 miles fur-
ther. they will go up the Nile by steamer.
..To New' Dongolu the distance by river
is 250 miles more. From the scant in-
formation given out by the British cab-
inet, however, the plan seems to be that
the troops shall go up the Nile about
“it! miles above \Vady-Halfa and stop at
Akasheb, to which poim it is intended
to build a railway from Wady Haifa.
From New Dougola to Massnua, the
capital of the Italian colony, the dis-
tance is about 700 miles. so that the
British will not be very near the Ital-
ians, even ”they go all the way to
Dougola. The reason given out for this
advance is that since the fanatical der-
riihos are said to be massing against the
Italians in Africa the British force will
he on'thof ground, either to aid Italy or
toilrotect British interests if they, too,
should be threatened by .tbe dervishes.
But the government's Liberal, enemies,
dad chief among them Sir Charles
Dilke, think they see in the Sudan
expedition 9. deep and dark plot to ex-
tend ,British territory from Egypt to
Uganda and unite the twa widely sep-
arated regions into one vast British col-
ony. '
Meantime this new British advance
up the Nile through Egypt into the
Sudan is not of such thrilling interest
to anybody alive as it is to the enter-
prising firm of Thomas Cook & Son,
who have the entire contract for trans-
porting the troops. bag and baggage, up
the Nile. It will put. much money in
their purse.
Goldfields of the Yukon.
The gold mines in Alaska are some-
times claimed to be the richest on the
globe. They ought to be. They are the
hardest to reach of any, and the country
after it is reached is the toughest to live
in of any known region where white
men live and have their being.
I
Awriter in the Washington Post says,
“Alaska is easily entitled to the blue
ribbon for having the meanest climate
in creation. ” In winter the thermometer
sinks to 60 below zero. In summer it is
as hotastbe equator. the mercury climb-
ing to 100. The journey from Sitka is
made by wagon or on foot, 100 miles. to
tho Yukon region. Here the travelers are
still 25 miles from the gold mines. They
must cut down trees and build rude rafts
fo' dost them down the river- to the dig-
gings. The gold is found in creeks and
streams.
The tripcan scarcely be made at all in
winter by white men. But so soon as
the sun rays melt the snow and ice in
spring there come millions upon mil-
lions of mosquitoes, midges and the
worst insect pests known to man. The
writer in The Post says they sometimes
drive men insane. All the same, we
shall subdue these obstacles. We shall
,build a railvmy which will do away
with the terrible wagon journey over
the divide. As to mosrjuitocs, it has
banninnud that n plentiful sprinkling

to Keep People of On. It...
Were old Peter Stuyvesant now the ruler
of New York. and the conditions the same
as they were “0 years ago. novelists. or a
great many of them, who tall tales of New
York would have to go out of business for
lack of tutorial on which to build the
plots of their stories. " l-‘lckle and change

that statement the average story tolleI
builds his tale, and never is he better
pleased than when his heroine breaks her
engagement just before the marriage, and
gives him the joy of bringing them to-
gether again and of making the wedding
bells ring merrily at the and of the last
chapter.
Not that the maidens of New Muster.
dam were less tickle and oliangefui than
are the maidens of New York. Possibly
they wore more so, lmcnusu old Peter was
at one time grievously worried about it.
There had appeared in the colony II spirit
of frivollty that did not at all accord with
the staid Dutch character. Emu the
phlogmutlc young burgbcra woroul‘fected
by it, and soon it came to be u mutter ol
scandal that young meunnIl young women
become engaged to he married. and after
the bonus bud boon published calmly do
otded that they didn't want to marry and
announced that fact to the people. Some-
times the engagements were broken by
common consent. sometimes the bonus re-
peated of their rushuess, and again the
belles exorcism! their time honored prorog
utlvo to change their minds. At any rut.
whoever was at fault, the scarcity of mar
rlugos began to worry the old lauuls of the
colony, and tho lightness With which eu-
gagcmeuts Were broken made people talk
of tho degeneracy of their children.
This had gone on for some time, and no
remedy had been found. l’ersuaslons and
mitt-cuties by the parents were of no avail.
The young folks laughed at them. and.
with the carelessness of youth, continued
to make and break engagement-I at will.

IIInny sore hearts in New Amsterdam
Something had to be done and done
quickly. New Allister-dam fill a man
equal to this emergency. us for all others.
One day Director (iotlorul Stuyvesant
stumped down to the fort, accompanied by
their high Inlnhtiuosses, the honorable
coIIIIcilors. and in the council chamber be
said that the young folks of the city must.
be cured of their light disregard of be-
trotlinl vows. The council agreed with
him, and so, on that afternoon, Jan. 15,
1653, a brand new proclamation was posted
about the city, and the town crler Iveut
around calling out to all youths and mold-
ens to listen to the decree of the direct
general of New \‘etheiiund. ”oi-o is the
text of it as found in tho old‘dlty records:
“ Whereas the director general and coun-
oll of New Sutherland are not only in-
formed, but have sulllcluntiy ascertained
that some individuals, after their marriage
bonus have been three times proclaimed,
do not proceed with tho solomuizntiou of
their marriages as they ought. to do, but
postpone it from time to time, not only
weeks, but months. which is directly cui-
trury to the good order and customs of the
fatherlnud:
“lining desirous to provide therefor and
to prevent irregularities and disorders
which may arise from that. source, the di-
rector general and the council Ilo com.
IIIIIIId that all persons who have been pub.

show cause for such doluy, under tliu pou-
alty of 10 gl. for the first week after the
said month shall have elapsed, and for
(Inch following week ll. :20, until they shall
have explained their noncompliance."
That is the way the director general
sought. to curb the tlcklenoss of the youths
. and maidens of New Amsterdam, and as

to display to the World the utter insignifi-
cnuco of human rcsolvo, being recorded by
the whole province in which be lived as a
model for the rest of mankind, according
to the view of human virtue taken at. lio-

man, on being told that a heavy reward
had been Offered for the capture or “de-
struction" of tbe‘bundlt Cnppu, who bud

A Fake Death.
An extraordinary case was reported by a
Dr. (llonuo toward the close of the last
century—that of It Colonel ’l'ownsheud.
This gentleman vlsltod Bath to drink the
waters and informed Dr. Chcynuund other
physicians that he could counterfeit (loath
at will. The colonel readily consented to
make the experiment, and so, with three
doctors in attendance, he laid himself on
a couch. His pulse grow threudy and
small and finally stopped; his breathing
ceased, and when the trpotliceury, one Mr.
Skrlne, hold a glass to his mouth the sur-
face was not dimmed. Tho wortliypbysl-
clan who tolls the story says that lIlInself
and his colleagues thought the colonel had
really given up the ghost. But the pulse
began to revive, the breathing became es-
tabilshod, and soon the colonel sat. up and
rouvcrsed. The sequel to this narration is
curious enough in its way. Colonel
Townsheud died shortly afterward at
Bath, but his body was found to be free
from any trams of disease or other condi-
tion such :3 might explain the power he
possessed over his heart and lungs.
