- ?- I ! Illl | Adelina l*att;'s Bravery. When quite a little girl Madame Adelina Patti once saved a companion's life. She was living in New York at the time, and when out on a country excursion with some young friends, one of the party, slipping ou the edge of a river, fell into a deep pool. The future queen of song ut once sprang in after her, succeeded in reaching the drowning girl and clung with her to a floating log. Buoyed up in this way, the two girls floated down stream, and were saved. Reservoirs on the Nile. Reservoirs upon the Nile, for the storage and control of the waters of that river, upon which the prosjierity of Egypt largely depends, are to be secured by the construction of great datr.s at Assuan anil Assiut The Khedive has made a contract with engineers, who agree to have the entire work done within five years, at a cost of about I J2i.000.000. The principal dam will be 0.0<X' feet long, and live reservoir which it creates will hold more than 1,400,000,000 cubic yards of water. This system of storage is expected to provide against seasons of low Nile floods, to i mitigate the violence of except ion.a! floods, and to extend greatly tue area of cultivable land. A Strange Czar. From ail accounts Czar Nicholas II. is really very fond of his wife, much to the Dowager Czarina's disgust, asshetinds she is not the power behind the throne that she expected to be. The eaBy ceremony of the Russian court gives great displeasure to sticklers for timeworn forms. Their imperial majesties actually exchange endearing phrases in public, a thing previously unheard of in Russia. Will Be Disappointed.

Colcmbia, S. C.. Juno 14, 1898. There was an entire absence of rain during the week over the greater portion of the State. On the 12th and 13th thunder showers occurred over the cen- j tral aud western counties, but at a few places only was the rainfall copious enough to be oi material reuei irom me prevailing severe anil distressing drought Some additional measurements were ' received of the rainfall of June 4. on which date Walhalla had 1.00 inch, j Uarksdale 1.25, Longshore 1.20, and a number of other places had amounts i either too small to measure or less than one-tenth oi' an inch. The normal rain- | fall for the current week is 1.04 inch, i the State average is about .01. The deficiency in rainfall since January 1st, amounts to somewhat over 50 per cent, of the normal lor the State. In i harleston the actual deficiency for the above period is 15.50 inches. In the former locality the drought has about reached too stage 01 a waxer iuiume; cuttle are dying for waut of water, as springs, brooks unci streams ure dry, while the tides have suited the rivers for miles inland. Streams all over the Siate are either dry or their water gathered iu staguaut poolsi Few ponds in the lower counties but what huve dried up and lish are dviug by thousands. The drought is. however, not confined to the lower counties but includes the entire State, and is especially severe in Anderson, Abbeville x-? _r ?4 ? I aDU portions OI CUUtlguuus VI uwiur counties where correspondents report either no rain or less than benolicial amounts for periods of from 20 to CO days, while during this time the temperature has been abnormally high, with but little cloudiness. While most of the staple crops have as yet suffered no irreparable injury, a coutinuation of the dry weather lor a week or two longer would indict severe damage to all crops and especially on corn. Tho sunshine was practically uninterrupted during the week at many places, with an average estimated percentage of 37 of tho possible, for the j T-tate. j The winds were light easterly during j the first of the week, changing to light : ! 1 ?n n?,l c/inMiorl i- /111 rinr?

Tne continued drought has aiTeeted | all crops adversely aud injured some | seriously, especially early, or March planted corn which is now in silk and j tassels but putting on very small immature, scrubby ears. Many places continue to repoit bad stands of corn due partly to the ravages of worms and partly to poor germination owing to lack of moisture. The condition of corn in general, is variable; it is green and halthy in places while elsewhere it is yellow and sickly, but small everywhere. There remains considerable land, intended for corn, yet to plant, estimated at 20 per cent, in Saluda county, and consisting generally of bottom land that early became too drv and * j a._ -i juaru IU piuw. l .m l \ tviu 10 u>iu^ iu places for want of moisture. Corn wilts badly during the daytime and is firing. Corn is being slowly laid by. Cotton has apparently not been injured by the dry weather, except that replanted cottou died for want of moisture, and that late planted and replanted cotton was slow to germinate aod came up to irregular stands. Cotlon made very slow growth, but otherwise is in a vigorous, healthy coadition. It is infested with lice m Orangeburg, Sumter, Clarendon, Bamberg, Barnwell where in spots it is dying, Itichlanu where lice are more numerous than ever before observed, and in ix>rtions of several other counties. Cotton fields are generally well cultivated, except that clay soils are too dry and hard to work, and that iu upper Berkeley and portions of Williamsburg couuties it was too wet during May, but is all right now. Cotton is patting on squares rapidly in Chesterfield and Darlington, but slowly elsewhere. Cut worms still damaging the stand in places. wFir6t blooms" have been noted in various sections during the week. Sea island cotton i6 not thriving. Tobacco failed during the week except in portions of Florence where it grew vigorously. Tobacco needs rain urgently. Worms not unusually numerous and are easily kept from indicting serious damage. Wheat harvest is about completed, and threshiug is weil under way. Yields at threshing are very satisfactory although Oconee and .Spartanburg report yields below last year. liarly oats are harvested and housed. Ill norrv Hie crop was imuor iikui i?i;' elsewhere from fair to very good. Spring; own oats are a failure iu most places, and at best u poor crop. It Las been too dry to sow peas and where previously sown they have not come up to stands. Few pointo slips sverc set during the week and tlus draws are dying in the Lcils. Irish potatoes are vory poor, yielding le?s than a inir<l of the usual returns, v hue the individual potatoes are smaii and geuerail v inferior. Melon* about holding their condition, but are late and irregular, thereby reducing the commercial value of the crop. In the Charleston truck-raising districts, musk melons and cucumbers are vieldiug about one-fifth of a crop. Peaches are ripening and shipments will begin this week. There are numerous reports of inferior fruit, but in the prinoipal peach district the fruit is of good quality. Apples and other deciduous fruits are dropping freely and are not promising. Blackberries are drying up on the Tines, although there is any quantity of them to piok. Apple and pear trees are dying from blight. Cane doing well on moist land but on other lauds is making no growth while in liampton itris dying. Chufas are doing well in Williamsburg. The weather has been excellent for cutting and curing hay, although the stand of grass is light. Pastures and gardens are sear; in a few places it has become necessary to feed all farm stock dry fodder. Cver the western sections of the i j State the conditions are now more tol! erable?due to the showers of the li'th I and loth, but nowhero has sufficient rain fallen to relieve the drought.

The immense territory of Thibet is almost completely surrounded by mountain ranges of appalling maguiture, which, especially along the southern, western and northern frontiers, constitute formidable barriers against ingress. From the Pamir Plateau, in the extreme west "the world's backbone" radiate the great natural ramparts which shut out India on the one hand aim (lit* iai tin nmiiiin-> wi im'uji?u ?i * :tik1 Turkestan on the other. No Asiatic or Western conqueror has ever dared to penetrate this mountain world; and even (ienghls Khan, the scourge of Asia, whose ravages extended from Pekin in the East to Moscow in the West, was obliged, when invading Northern India, to take the circuitous route, via Kashgliar and Afghanistan, instead of crossing Thibet. Secure on their lofty plateau, and practically isolated from the rest of the world, the people of Thibet have remained undisturbed for ages, and have developed eharaeteristicsfor which we might vainly search in any other race on the globe. The Chinese "conquest" has not produced the slightest change in their mode of life, or exorcised any appreciable influence upon their peculiar culture. Saw a Charming: Snake. \Y. It. Mason of Iiakorslield, Kern County. Cal., ti lls the following story of snake-charming to the Scientific American: "I was riding in California and had off-saddled to cat some lunch, when I saw a gopher snake stretched along the limb of a tree in which was a dock of excited small birds. About eighteen inches distant from the snake's head was a bird whose com pauions were making the noise. The bird was perfectly motionless, and, to all appearance, looked straight at the suake, which was gradually creeping toward it. When about eight inches away the snake struck and caught the bird by the breast. The captured bird and its companions struggled w ith the snake, but it lowered itself to the ground, carrying the bird in its mouth." Have you ever seen anything like j this? KXPKNSKS OF THE WAR.
