SYHPTOMS OF A DISEASED LITER.
Bad Breath ; Pain in the Side, sometimes the
pain is felt under the Shoulder-blade, mistaken for
Rheumatism; general loss of appetite; Bowels
generally costive, sometimes alternating with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, is dull and heavy,
with considerable loss of memory, accompanied
with a painful sensation of leaving undone something
which ought to have been done; a slight, dry cough
and flushed face is sometimes an attendant, often
mistaken for consumption; the patient complains
of weariness and debility; nervous, easily startled:
feet cold or burning, sometimes a prickly sensation
of the skin exists; spirits are low and despondent,
and, although satisfied that exercise would be bene
ficial, yet one can hardly summon up fortitude t
try it —in fact, distrusts every remedy. Sever*,
of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurrea when but few of them existed, yet
examination after death has shown the Liver to
have been extensively deranged.
It should be used by all persons, old and
young, whenever any of the above
symptoms appear.
Persons Traveling or Living in Un
healthy Localities, by taking a dose occasion
ally to keep the Liver in healthy action, will avoid
all Malaria, Bilious attacks. Dizziness, Nau
sea, Drowsiness, Depression of Spirits, etc. It
will invigorate like a glass of wine, but is no in
toxicating beverage.
If Tou have eaten anything hard ot
digestion, or feel heavy after meals, or sleep
less at night, take a dose and you will be relieved.
Time and Doctors' Bills will be saved
by always keeping the Regulator
/ in the House!
For, whatever the ailment may be, a thoroughly
safe purgative, alterative and tonic can
never be out of place. The remedy is harmless
and does not interfere with business or
pleasure.
IT IS PURELY VEGETABLE,
And has alj the power and efficacy of Calomel,or
Quinine, without any of the injurious after effects.
A Governor's Testimony.
Simmons Liver Regulator has been in use in my
fantily for some time, and I am satisfied it is a
valuable addition to the medical science.
J. Gill Shorter, Governor of Ala.
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of Ga.,
says; Have derived some benefit from the use of
Simmons Liver Regulator, and wish to give it a
further trial.
"The only Thing that never fails to
Relieve." —l have used many remedies for Dys
pepsia, Liver Affection and Debility, but never
have found anything to benefit me to the extent
Simmons Liver Regulator has. I sent from Min
nesota to Grecrgia for it, and would send further for
such a medicine, and would advise all who are sim
ilarly affected to give it a trial as it seems the only
thing that never fails to relieve.
P. M. Janney, Minneapolis, Minn.
Dr. T. W. Mason says: From actual ex
perience in the use of Simmons Liver Regulator in
my practice I have been and am satisfied to use
and prescribe it as a purgative medicine.

lSulile at Tel-el-Kebir—Egyp
tiau Army (touted.
KASSASSIN, September 13.—A dis
patch from the front oft he British head
quarters here states that the attack on
Tel-el-Kebir commenced at 4:30 this
morning. The Arab works were car
ried and forty guns and a large number
of prisoners were captured. The de
moralization of Arabi's army is com
plete, his infrantry flyiDg toward the
desert.
The Egyptians opened fire when
the British were within about one
mile of Tel-el-Kebir. The place ap
pears to have been taken by a rush.
The enemy were surprised by the
night march, and were soon in full re
treat. The Indian calvary are hotly
pressing the fugatives on the south
and the British calvary on the north of
the canal. The enemy's killed alone
amounted to 2,000 The retreat of the
enemy on the north is cut off.
THE OFFICIAL REPORT.
The following is the official dis
patch of General Wolseley giving his
report of the battle at Tel-el-Kebir :
We struck camp at Kassassin lock
last evening and bivouacked on the
high ridge above camp until 1:30 this
morning. We then advanced upon
the very extensive and very strongly
fortified position held by Arabi Pasha
with twenty thousand regulars, of
whom twenty-five hundred were
cavalry, with seventy guns and six
thousand Bedouins and irregulars. My
force was about eleven thousand bayo
netts, two thousand sabres and sixty
guns. To have attacked so strong a posi
tion by daylight with the troops I could
place in the field would have entailed
very great loss. I resolved, therefore,
to attack before daybreak, marching
the six miles that intervened between
my camp and the enemy's position in
the darkness. The cavalry and two
batteries of horse artillery on the right
had orders to sweep round the enemy
at daybreak. The first division was
the Second brigade, under General
Graham, supported by the Foot Guards
under the Duke of Connaught, and
seven batteries of artillery, number
ing forty-two guns, with a supporting
brigade; then the second division, the
Higland Brigade leading the Indian
contingent; these on the south side
of the canal, with the naval brigade on
the railway, had in the interval ad
vanced. Great emulation was evinced
by the regiments to be first in the
enemy's works. All went at them
straight, the Royal Irish particularly
distinguished itself by its dash and
the manner in which it closed with
the enemy. All the enemy's works
and camps are now in our possession.
I do not yet know exactly the number
of guns captured, but it is considera
ble; several trains witb immense quan
tities of supplies were captured. The
enemy ran away in thonsands, throw
ing away their arms when overtaken
by our cavalry. Their loss was very
great. General Willis was very
slightly and Colonel Richardson
severely wounded. Majors Colv'lie,
Underwood and Somerville, of the
Highland Light Infantry, were killed
Of the Black Watch, Lieutenant Mac-
Niel was killed. Captains Fox and
Cumberland were wounded. Gener
al Allison's Aide-de-camp, Captain
Hutton, was wounded. Col. Sterling
and the surgeon of the Coldstream
Guards were wounded. Col- Balfour,
of the Grenadier Guards, was wound
ed in the leg, and the color sergeant
killed. The cavalry is now on its
march to Belbees and the Indian con
tingent on its way to Zagazig, to be
followed this evening by the Highland
brigade. Three lieutenants of the
Cameron Highlanders were wounded.
The canal is cut in some places, but
the railway is intact. It has been dis
covered that Racheb Pasha and Ali
Fehmi Pasha were wounded in the en
gagement last Saturday.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
Long continued cheers went up
when the enemy's works were seized.
The 3ight below was a gastly one,
hundreds of dying Egyptians, camels
and horses lying mingled on the ground.
The English dead and wounded were
mixed with those of the enemy. The
English troops were splendidly handled
and marched over ramparts, leaving be
hind them traces in blood of the work
which thsy had accomplished. The
Egyptians were taken by surprise in
almost every direction. The negro
troops and Arab artillery fought well.
General Wolseley watched the fight in
the thickest of danger, and the Duke of
Connaught exhibited extreme calmness
General Wolseley ordered his soldiers
to march with unloaded rifles, and, if
possible, storm the enemy's entrench
ments without firing a shot. The
Highland Brigade on the left carried
the first line of entrenchments at the
point of the bayonet. The guards fol
lowed, behaving splendidly. Half of
the Egyptians opposed to us in the
attack were rebels. We will push on
to Cairo without delay. Arabi Pasha's
troops are evidently delighted at the
prospect of an end. Immense stores
of ammunition and 12,000 tents were
captured. There is no doubt Arabi
Pasha was completely surprised. The
disposition of the English forces during
the darkness of the night is really be
vond praise. Colonel Harrison with
great difficulty saved llagheb Bey's
life, as the English soldiers were ex
cited aud in uo mood to give quarter.
Detachments of troops from Kafr-el-
Dwar are reported fleeing towards
Cairo.
Another dispatch says: The enemy's
earth-works were quite insufficient to
check the advance of our good troops.
The works were certainly of immense
extent, and surrounded by a ditch four
feet deep and four feet wide. The
parapet was about four feet and eight
inches. But the works put out so
abruptly into the plateau surrounding
that almost at any poiut it was possible
tu enfilade the enemy. As soon us the
English troops reached the enemy's
entrenchments Arabi Pasha got oil
j bard a train and ordered it to -'.team
off the scene.
ANOTHER EYE WITNESS.
Gives the following account of the
buttle of Tel-el-Kebir: Never did a
body of lourteen thousand men get
uDder arms more quietly. The very
orders appeared to be given in lowered
tones. The silence was broken only by
an occasional clash of steel. There
w€re frequent halts to enable regiments
to maintain the touch. When the
troops arrived within a thousand yards
of the enemy's line they halted to al
low the fighting line to be formed.
| The Egyptians fled in a confused rab
ble. Two traius filled with fugitives
| managed to get away before the En
glish came up. The engine of another
train just about starting was blown up
!by one of our shells. Lieutenant
j Gordon Cary, who had been wounded,
killed with his claymore three Egyp
tian officers who set upon him.
ZAGAZIG TAKEN.
Major General McPherson telegraphs
from Zagazig that he made a forced
march after the capture of Tel-el-Kebir
and occupied Zagazig at 4:14 this
afternoon. He seized five trains with
their engines. The Governor came in
and surrendered to the British. The
people are submissive.
THE NEWS AT ALEXANDRIA.
ALEXANDRIA, September 13.—The
taking of Tel-el-Kebir causes great joy
here, and an extensive demonstration
is> organizing for to-night. Italians
and Greeks have taken no action, but
persons of all nations will participate.
General Wood has received a dispatch
from General Wolseley stating that
Tel-el-Kebir was captured after twenty
minutes' assault. Three thousand
prisoners were taken. The enemy is
flying and the cavalry pursuing them.
The cut, letting the sea into Mareatis,
has been completed and the water is
spreading rapidly.
The cut connecting the sea with
Lake Mareatis is not considered quite
successful, but the sea has entered the
fosse to the height of three and one
half feet. The excitement and en
thusiasm here over the English victory
at Tel-el-Kebir to-day culminated in a
grand demonstration to-night. A pro
cession headed by a band and bearing
devices 'Bravo Wolseley,' 'Tel-el-
Keber,' and 'Angleterre' paraded the
town. The Khedive's band marched
to the different tribunals, before which
they stopped and played English and
Egyptian anthems, amid the applause
of the Europeans A few Arabs ap
peared on the streets.
The demonstration ia celebration of
the British victory at Tel-el-Kebir will
not readily be forgotten. Englishmen
were treated as heroes by residents
here of other nationalities, while the
very popular officers of the United
States steamer Nipsic expressed their
pride in the Anglo-Saxon race.
The Outbreak in Allegheny.
From Philadelphia P'-ess of Sept. 7.
It is very evident from the proceed
ings of the Conventions in Allegheny
that there is a great deal of restive
ness and resolution in that staunch old
Republican county. The machine Ins
usually been well-oiled, easily handled
and smoothly run. It has seldom
failed to grind out just such grist as
the managers wanted. But at last the
people seem to have taken matters into
their own hauds, and the signs are
such as portend a revolution.
The overwhelming triumph of Mr:
Bayue was itself significant. He was
the avowed and uncompromising op
ponent of Mr. Cameron; he had de
fiantly, almost recklessly, made a di
rect and unequivocal assault on the ad
ministration ; all the bosses, big and
little, had marked him for destruction ;
he had even declined to pronounce for
the candidate for Governor,
under the ordinary couditious in an
ordinary time it would be supposed
that the machine could completely
crush him. Yet he swept the district
high and dry, and the feeble resist
ance of the impotent managers snap
ped before the popular tidal wave as a
house of cards tumbles in the storm.
It was plain that the people were
deeply stirred, and their demonstra
tion was unmistakable. The issue was
distinct because Mr. Bayne had been so
emphatic, and because the lines were
so sharply drawn that everybody
could understand it ; the expression
was clear and decisive.
The same question entered into the
Senatorial nominations. In the Forty
fourth district the Independent candi
date went through on the first ballot.
In the Forty-second the contest was
close and doubtful, and it is charged
that Mr. McNeill succeeded by fraud.
His competitor, Mr. Shafer, declared
that sufficient delegates had been cho
sen in his interest to nominate him,
but that they had been counted out,
and on this ground he withdrew. At
this distance it is difficult to see why
he abandoned the contest. Irrespect
ive of this question, Mr. McNeill had
little warrant for pressing his claims,
and the party little reason for nomina
ting him. Four years ago he barely
squeezed in by the beggarly majority
of 165 in a district where a Repub
lican candidate ought to have nearly
or quite two thousand. Such an evi
dence of weakness in himself or in his
associations should have been a con
clusive argument against trying an
other experiment with him. The
election of this year, both as to the
State ticket and the Legislature, is
too important to run any needless
risks.
All in all the Convention in Alle
gheny proved that the people are
moved this year by some deep and
prevading feeling. Hitherto that
county, even with its great Republi
can majority, has been one of the most
reliable machine dependencies. But it
is plain now that the machine has lost
its grip, and such a manifestation can
not be safely disregarded.

We were swinging idly at anchor off
j Mahnkona, Island of Hawaii. Swing
, | ing idly at anchor in the South Sea oti
' a summer's day is emiueutly poetical,
but one may get too much of poetry.
Suddenly there were wild exclamations
I of delight and excitement by some na
tive passengers, who pointed a little
, way off, whore at Grst we could sic
only occasional foamy spurts of water.
The Captain, who had just come on
deck, looked with increasing interest at
; the commotion in the water, and finally
j said, decidedly : 'lt's a thrasher an 1
1 sword-fish attacking a whale, and if
they only conre this way you'll sec
some fuu that laud lubbers seldom see
—meaning no disrespect for the ladies.'
It was seldom that our Captain dis
played as much interest as hi did then,
j so we all the more eagerly watched
the nearing fight. lie gave no further
explanation then.
For some time longer we saw no
bodies, but the disturbance in the
water steadily grew pi liner as it came
nearer. The water would be upheaved
and then lashed into foam ; there
would be flurry, and then the water
would subside into a bubbling wake.
Finally, so near to us to be almost
startling, the ponderous body of the
whale plunged through the water al
most beneath us, and with a swiftness
that in so huge a thinjf was frightful,
rose to the surface, dashing the waves
with its great blunt head afar on either
side. Almost before the sparkling
showers had fallen the steam-like
breath of the monster shot up in a jet,
but only for an instaut. A great ugly
fish, flat like a floundt r, but larger than
a shark, darted through the water and
almost leaped upon the whale, cover
ing with its great flat body the whale's
blow hole. The jet was as completely
and instantly cut off by this astonish
ing operation as is a faucet stream of
water by a reversed spigot. The
great clumsy monster struggled as if
for life. Its tail dashed the smooth
summer sea into a fury of foam, and
the whole great length of its body
seemed shaken by a tempest of rage
and agony. The whale sank slowly,
and as the troubled water became clear
we saw it dart off again, but pursued
and attacked by a sword-fish that with
lightning like strokes would plunge its
weapon into the whale's body, draw
back for a fresh start, and shoot ahead
again, inflicting wound after wound
upon the tortured monster. Stabbed
from below, deprived of its breath from
above, the whale wildly plunged ahead
silently, followed closely by the thrash
er, waiting for its turn to attack. Soon
they came again ; not quite so close to
us as before. Again the vast body up
haaved the waters; again the thrasher
cut off the persecuted whale's desper
ate struggle for air; again the great
thiug lunged and lurched about in
awful, frantic efforts to free itself of the
merciless enemy ; again it slowly sank
to be attacked from below. This most
Strang battle raged about us for fuliy
half an hour, the intervals between the
surface attacks becoming shorter as the
whale's increasing exhaustion prompt
ed it to rise more frequently. The
attacks of both its enemies gave the
impression of utmost* ferocity. The
perfect silence ofthe terrific warfare, too,
added to its terrible aspect.
I have spoken of it as a battle ; such
it was, although the small, savage
attackers were, of course, never injured
in the tremendous plunges the mad
dened whale would sometimes direct
toward them. Gradually the scene of
action drifted further from us, and sud
denly ceased, the whale sinking out of
sight. Then we turned to the Captain
and asked that worthy individual for
an explanation. Of course he had one
ready, and it was this: There was
another fish highly interested in the
battle, that we had not seen. This
was the fish that came in at the death.
'l'm sorry,' the Captain said, that the
whale was not finished near enough
for you to see, for then you would
have been astonished. Now what do
you suppose that thrasher, and like
wise that sword fish, was giving that
kind of battle to that whale for? Now,
none of you know, yet some people
think they do. That sword fish sticks
the whale from below to make it rise,
and the thrasher calks up his spout-hole
to make it open its mouth. Why don't
he open his mouth the first time the
thrasher covers his spout-hole ? Be
cause it knows by instinct that the mo
ment its mouth is opened its tongue is
bit out. I spoke of a little fish that
you didn't see. Well, he follows close
along, and whenever the whale becomes
so used up for want of breath that it
must open its mouth then this little
fish darts in, bites off the big fellow's
tongue, and is away with it in a jifly.
The little fish, the sword fish and the
thrasher divide the tongue, and it's that
morsel the battle is for.' Since the
Captain told us the story I have heard
the same thing asserted by land author
ity.
The common mistake in sowing
wheat is in putting in the seed too
deeply. If the ground has been tilled
so as to make a mellow seed bed, there
is danger of burying the seed too deep
ly if a drill is used, unless the roller
precedes the drill, and the drill-teeth
are set back so as not to dig too deeply.
Rolling after drilling or sowing is a
mistake. The compactness of the soil
needed for wheat is beneath, and not
on the surface. Wheat is usually
sown more thickly than is advantage
ous or profitable. Much depends on
the richness of the soil, the more fertile
requiring not exceeding one bushel to
five pecks per acre. The time of sow
ing is much less important than the
condition of the soil as to compactuess
and fertility. It may sometimes be
good policy to sow land of only moder
ate fertility early, in order to secure a
good fail growth ; but it is much better
to manure more heavily and sow later.
On the very dryest and richest soils
very late sowing is the best for secur
ing heavy yields of wheat. So—in
substance—says 'W. F. J.' in The
American Cultivator.
A good medicinal tonic, with real
merit, is Brown's Iron Bitters, so all
ggists bay.

With the preseut high prices ol
beef, and the cow literally jumping
over the moon, Wyoming cattle men
are reaping a rich harvest, and many
of them will almost make inde
pendent fortunes this summer.
The rise has been so rapid, and trans
fers are made so easily, that large
transactions are made every dny in
which the buyer docs uot see a hoof
of his purchase, and very likely does
not use more than one half the pur
chase money in the trade before he has
sold and made auormous margin in the
deal. A year ago a Laramie plains
cattle dealer was offered a large Utah
herd and a ranch for §70,000, which
offer was accepted at the moment, but
later rejected. Since that the Utah
man sold S4(i,COO woith <>f the herd,
then sold the ranch lor $4,500, after
ward
and last week sold it for $140,000.
In other words the Ut.;h man is to
day ahead over SIIO,OOO because his
last year's offer <vas uot accepted.
Several years ago one ol the most
prominent cattle men in Wyomiug
who can to-day easily command
$1,000,000 for a cattle trade without
impairing his business, came to Bos
ton to negotiate a lone with Massachu
setts capitalists. He met an old man
who knew more about per cent, thau
he did about Wyoming and Colorado
cattle, and began to talk business.
He said he was making large profits
on his present investmeLts, and,
therefore, he wanted to put more capi
tal iuto the business, very naturally to
increase his income. Mr. Moneybag
asked what security would be given.
"I would secure the loan by a mort
gage on my herd, sir."
' Where are your cattle ?"
"Some in Wyoming, some in Ne
braska nad some iu Colorado."
"How much land have you under
fence ?"
"Noue."'
"How much land do you own
"Not a foot."
"Whose land does your stock graze
on ?"
"Government land."
"How often do you see your cattle?"
"Once a year."
"Do you have a herder with them ?"
"No, sir."
"Well, young man, I would as soon
loan you money on the herring in
Boston harbor."
A Cheyenne man who don't pretend
to know a maverick from a mandamus,
has made a neat little margin of $15,-
000 this summer in small transactions
and hasn't seen a cow yet that he has
bought or sold. Cheyenne is wild
over the market, and Sixteenth street
is a young Wall street. Millions are
talked of as lightly as nickels, and all
kinds of people in all professions are
dabbling in steers. The Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court has recently
succumbed to the contagious excite
ment and gone to purchase a $40,000
herd. Everywhere the excitement is
as bad as it ever was in mining
stocks in the old palmy days at (Jom
stock. How long this thing will con
tinue is a matter of pure speculation.
Whether the laboring classes of the
"States" will eat porter house steaks
when they taste like a government
bond, or quit all at once and knock
the bottom out of the Chicago market,
no man knows to a dead moral cer
tainty.

The Burlington Hawkeye is respon

page from th 3 history of George
Washington. The scene is laid on the
Potomac, and it is the merry summer
time. To him the mother of the
father of his country said :
"George, dear, where have jou beea
since school was dismissed ?"
"Hain't been nowhere, ma."
"Did you come straight home from
school, George ?"
"Yes, ma'am!''
"But school is dismissed at 3 o'clock,
and it is now half past 6. How does
that come ?"
"Got kep' in."
"What for ?"
"Missed m'joggrafy less'n."
"But your teacher was here only an
hour ago, and said you hadn't been at
school all day."
"Got kept in yestidday, then."
"George, why were you not at
school to-day ?"
"Forgot. Thought all the time it
was Saturday."
"Don't stand on the one side of your
foot in that manner. Come here to
me. George, you have been swim
ming."
"No'me."
"Yes, you have, George. Haven't
you ?"
"No a p."
"Tell your mother, George ?"
"N u c k."
"Then what makes your hair so
wet, my son ?"
"Sweat. I run so fast comin' from
school."
"But your shirt is wrong side out."
' Put it on that way when I got up
this morning for luck. Always win
when you play for keeps if your shirt's
on wrong side out."
"And yon havn't the right sleeve of
your shirt ou your arm at all, George,
and there is a hard knot tied in it.
How did that come there?"
"Bill Fairfax tied it when I wasn't
lookiu'."
"But what were you doing with
your shirt off?"
"Didn't haye it off. He jes took'n
tied that knot there when it was on
me."
"George!"
"That's honest truth, he did."
About that time the noble Bushrod

Curious Habits ot Ants.
Sir John Lubbock's extraordinary
[ book on 'Ants, Bees and Wasps' will
amaze readers. Fancy auts baring
slaves! Fancy these proverbial ex
amples to the sluggard keeping certain
j insects as we keep cows, and building
i sheds over tbem, and keeping others
as pets! The aristocracy of ants seem
to haye all the vices which brought
antique monarchies to destruction.
Sir.John writes soberly, as a philoso
pher should, and weighs bis words no
doubt, which mukes his conclusions the
more astonishing. The author quotes
some of Ifuber's experiments, the value
of which he has himself tested. The
bloated ant aristocrats, it is said, 'have
lost the greater part of their instincts;
their art, that is, the power of building;
their domestic habits, for they show no
care for their 3-oung, all this teisg
done by Ihe :■ laves; their iudustry, for
they taki no p,.rtia prov : din>fthe daily
supplies; ii the colony changes the
situation of us ite.-r, the masters are all
carried by the slaves on their backs to
the new one; nay, they have even lost
the Imhit of feeding. Huber placed
thirty oft hem with some larvae and
pupa? and a supply of honej in a box.
'At first,' he 'tbey appeared to
pay some little attention to the larvae;
the} earru d them here and there, but
presently replaced them. More than
one-hnlf of the A mazons died of hunger
in less than two days. They bad not
even traced out a dwelling; and the
few anM still in existence were languid
and wiibdut strength. I commiserated
their couditiou, and gave them one of
their black companions. This indi
vidual, unassisted, established order,
formed a chamber in the earth, gather
ed together 1 he IN rva?, extricated several
}oung ants thht were ready to quit the
rendition of pupte, and preserved the
life of the remaining Amazons.' This
observation has IN en fully confirmed
by our naturalists. However small
the prison, however large the quantity
of food, these stupid creatures will
starve in the midst of plenty rather
than feed themselves. . . . I have,
however, kept isolated specimens for
three months by giving them a slave
for an hour or two a day to clean and
feed them ; under these circumstances
they remained in perfect health, while,
but for the slaves, they would have
perished in two or three days.'
England's "Bight" lu Egypt.
From the Buffalo Express.
There is but au indistinct under
standing as to what those rights of
England in Egypt are, by virtue of
which she undertakes to prevent
Arabi from overturning the Khedive's
Government and making himself
master of the country.
The London People essays the
task of defining the English right.
It is analogaous to the legal
"easement," under which, if A pos
sesses property to which access is only
possible over the property of B, B is
bound to grant to A a right of way
across bis land adequate to allow A
the enjoyment and benefit of his prop
erty. Mo doubt it is possible for
England to reach her property which
lies beyond Egypt by other, although
far more circuitous routes. "But the
fact remains," says the People, "that
as long as India and Australasia con
tinue to be integral portions of the
British Empire, so long the British
Empire must continue to possess the
right of way to them through Egypt,
if the route through Egvpt is the one
which best enables the Empire to reap
the advantages of those portions of it
which lie beyond.
It is no answer to say that we can
reach India by the Cape. The route
by the Cape is some five thousand
miles longer than by the Suez canal,
and the delay of a journey five thou
sand miles might oniy too readily
mean at a critical moment a loss to
the Empire which no international law
compels us to risk. It is a danger,
in fact, of sufficient importance to give
us before any competent tribunal of
international law a distinct right of
easement to pass over Egypt by the
shorter route."
The Rag-Pickers* Harvest.
As many as 2,000 rag-pickers find *
employment about the streets of New
York. They are almost exclusively
Italians, who have displaced the Irish
and Germans who used to do the work.
Their gatherings of rags are valued at
$750,000 a year. The hand-enrt dealers
do a business of $3,000,000 a year.
The aggregate rag trade of the city
amounts to $30,000,000 a year. A
prominent dealer estimates the number
of rag dealers in the city at 800, about
a fifth of them doing a large business.
The general trade is controlled by a
few extensive dealers. Last year the
cotton rag importations reached $lO,-
000,000 in value, the home gatherings
being worth $12,000,000; the paper
mills taking the whole supply. The
cotton rags are worth from to 6
cents a pound ; the woolen rags from
3to 35 cents a pound. The latter are
used in making shoddy goods. The
rags are sorted by women, who earn
$5 a week, and packed by men, whose
wages range from sl2 to sl4 a week.
Some of the large dealers have accumu
lated large fortunes.

commendation honestly. All who use
them confer upon them the highest
eucomiums, and give them credit for
making cures—all the proprietors
claim for them. I haye kept them
since they were first offered to the pub
lic. They took high rank from the

called for than nil others combined.
So long as they keep up their hiSh

shall continue to recommend them—
something I have never before done
with any other patent medicine.
