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.?

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.'*

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
