* NILE RIVER MUD. Tb? Salvation of the Country In . That RalnleiN Diatrtct. ^ There is nothing to make one realise the importance of mud indeed like a 1 Journey up the Nile when the inunda-1 tion is just over. You lounge on the j deek of your dahabieh and drink in; geography almost without knowing it. I The voyage forms a perfect iutroduc-j tlon to the study of mudolcgy and sug-1 gests to the observant mind (meaning i a pf.ni of iniid aa I nothing else on earth that I know of can suggest It, for in Egypt you get your phenomenon isolated, as it were, from all disturbing elements. You have no rainfall to bother you, no local streams, no complex denudation. The Nile does it all, and the Nile does everything. On either hand stretches away the bare desert, rising up in gray, rocky hills. Down the midst runs the one long Hue of alluvial soil?in other words, Nile mud? which alone allows cultivation and life In that rainless district. The country bases itself absolutely on mud. The crops are raised on it, the bouses and villages are built of it, the land Is manured with it, the very air is full of it. The crude brick buildings that dlssove in dust are Nile mud solidified, the red pottery of Assiout is Nile mud. linked hard the village mosques and mtaaret8 are Nile mud whitewashed. 1 I have even seen a ship's bulwarks neatly repaired with mud. It pervades the whole land, when wet, as mud undisguised; when dry, as duststorm.? Corn hill Magazine. Arabia* Coffee. The Arabian coffee maker, having prepared his fire of charcoal and placed near It a huge pot containing water, takes a few bandfnls of green coffee ijerries. carefully culls out all imperfect berries and foreign substances and then places the best of the berries in an iron ladle held over the fire. The berries are permitted to roast until they begin to smoke and are then, while still ttncharrod. placed in u small mortar and carefully brayed with a pestle closely fitting the cup of the mortar. The berries are not, however, reduced to a dust. While this process has been going on. a small pot has been half filled with tepid water from the large pot and placed over the fire. When the water in the small pot has begun to boll, the broken coffee berries are thrown in, and the boiling Is permitted to go on for a short time, the decoetJon beiug stirred with a spoon when It ahows signs of boiling over. The coffee Is theu served in small cups without cream or sugar. Applytas Epithets. A Virginia statesman in Washington has two boys, about five and six years old respectively, who are not such "angel children" that they do not scrap occasionally. The family health is discussed a good deal by the parents In the presence of the youngsters, and the two evils held to be the very worst that can be feared are microbes and drafts. The other morning the boys got into a wrangle. "Oh, you're a microbe," hissed the elder in bis anger. That dreadful epithet bad never been applied to the other before,' and for a moment be was stunned by the insult. He tried to come back at his brother, but at first be was at a loss what to say. "You?you?you're anotoer, ne blurted out at last and then caught himself. "No, you ain't, either; you are a draft!" be exclaimed, and the scrap was oo.--Detroit Free Press. Capital and Labor. The trouble between capital and labor Is Just in proportion to the ignorance of the employer and the ignorance of the employed. The more intelligent the employer the better, and the more intelligent the employed the better. It is never education, it is never knowledge, that produces collision. It is always ignorance on the part of one or the other of the two forces. Speaking from an experience Dot InconsiderI m?bo + afifamcnt funltlll ll ignorant of the necessities and the Just dues of labor, and labor it ignorant of the necessities and dangers of capital. That Is the true origin of friction between them.?Carnegie's "Empire of Business.'* Root Before Steals. The value of a slight rest before meals Is. according to a physician, very great Indigestion more often arises from eating when tired or excited than Is understood. In bis dietary for a consumptive patient a very well known specialist insists upon a full twenty minutes' rest before all meals except breakfast Fire minutes' complete rest of mind as weH as body, is none too much for the person of average health, and it should be taken regularly.?New York Tost Kerplag Rli Word.
