These and similar qa^- tious are being asked by,?uiiny correspoudents. The reason wliy iijugla.nil cas aofe oulv iuterfere.l in tbe afiEairs of E^ypt, but liiis for iieveral years practically assumed control over them, are two Oue is a political, the other a financial, reason. ... The political reason arose when the Suez Canal was completed, rauniui; through the territory of Egypt, and connecting by a water-way the Mediterranean and the Red Seas. Tiiis great canal was opened in tho iiutumn of 38G9. England found that it shortened the voyage from her own shores to her great Indian Empire bv more than one- third. Inasmuch as that Empire has long been threatened by Russia, it became necesi-ary thatEiigland Ehould see that tbe Suez Gaiial was so guarded as to cual)le her to command and use it in time of need and tbe only way for England to d'j this was to acquire a uomuiancling inlluence over the Egyp- tian CTOvernmoiit. The financial reason why England is ui control of Egyptian affairs is tbe fact that Egypt is a debtor to a large body of English holders of her bonds and other securities and it became uecessary that the finances of Egypt sboulil be managed so as to pay her creditors their interest, and at tns same time, if possible, preserve the Egyptian traasury from hopeless ban- kruptcy. The late ruler of Egypt, Ismail Pasha, spent tnormous sums of money on public works and improvements. He simk large sums in'tho Suez Canal, and thereby at la,st reduced his treasury to the verge of bankruptcy. He was dethroned by English influence, and his son, Tewfik, was made Khedive in his place. Then England united with France in the effort to adjust the Egyptian tiuauccs. A system called the "dual control" was established by which an English and a French commiHsioner took charge of the collection find ex- jwnditure of tbe Egyptian revenues. After a time France withdrew from this arrangement, and England was left to tbe sole control of the Egypt- ian Admiuistraticn. The Government under Tewfik was feeble and inefficient. Mild it soon appeared that English influence had become paramount, and ^vas really the ruling power. But now a revolt against ihis stole of tilings took place in Egypt. Arab! Paslia, Minister ot War,, headed a 'arpe native party, and the greater part of the Egyptian army, is resisting a foreign interference with Egyptian atiairs. He took possession of Alex- aiuh-ia. the chief port, and seemed on tlie point of overthrowing the feeble Khedi"e. Tiien the English, resolved to keep ihcu- hold on Egypt, and to maintain tht Khediva they had set on his t'arone, bombarded Alexandria, drove Arain PasLa from it, followed him up ith an army, and overwhelming de- feated him, scattered his forces, and to k lii in prisoner, at the battle of Til-ei-Kebir. Scaieely had Arabi's overthrow jaini aehiLved, when a fresh reyolt bloke out far to the southward, in the vague deserL region called "the Soudan.' This region was conquered In- the Eg}-ptians sixty years ago and us chief towns, scattered far apart ironi each other along the Nile aud in tbe deserts, were garrisoned «7 Egyptian troops. Tiie people of Soudan had always been oppressed and ill-treated by their Lgyptip.u conquerors, and were ripe hv revolt. A n Arab named Achmet ilohair.iiied. had already made his appearauce iu the Soudan, proclaiming biiaself the prophet of Islam, the successor of Mohammed commissioned "^y Gcd to restore Mohammedan rower ihroiighout the world. This ^as the man now so well-known as tbe"Mahdi.' or "TheFalse Prophet." The revolt of the' Mahdi in the ^ondan was thus of a two-fold nature. At bad tbe double aim of throwing off tbe Egyptiau yoke, and of beginning new Moslem crusade.

DRIVE IT AWAY. Drive away all poisonous humor from the blood before it develops in scrofula or some chronic form of disease. Burdock Blood Bitters will do it. ^I'toutof the So England, to iie^p TTiae Advice to Toung Men. What are you shooting at â€" some- thmg or nothing Are you wasting powder as well as time for naught, or are you aiming at a target with a will and purpose to hit it? See the marks- man as with steady poise he holds the rifle, and with keen glance sights the centre of the target. That shot pierc- mg the very centre, is the result ot skill acquired through long and patient practice. He aimed straight for the mark with a purpose to hit it full and square. Rifle shots in basiaess, aiming at something and hitting it. are the only effective work in this age of keen, close competition. Too many men scatter powder and shot in trade, with but little purpose. They want a wide mark to aim at, and if they can corner the entire business ol a community or neighborhood, are seemingly happy. Their motto is, for all the grist to go to their mill and to take liberal toll. They aim at almost everything in the way of business, and would monopolize it if they could. They become merchant, manufac- turer, farmer, speculator, money lend- er, but usually are greater bonowers than lenders. They do nothing tho- roughly and systematically, but gradu- ally allow their affairs to go at loose ends until at last come failure aud bankruptcy. Double-barreled shot-guns may do effective work in duck shooting, but this sort of scattering fire in business has caused too many lame ducks in all the martof trade. Successful to8iness,omen have a keen eye. for the o^e pursuit in which they are engaged. The target is ever be- fore them and they aim straight at it. That mark is their chief object in life, and with strenuous effort thev seek to win the prh$e. Rifled cannon are move effective than smooth bores, the ball goes truer and pierces deeper. The shot hits hard and with penetrating power. The powder is^ not wasted. Just so with business-nven that haye a distinct pur- pose in view they aim to accomphsh something and they ck it. Many a merchant.has been success- ful up to the point where he engaged in outside speculations. As long as he coocsntrated his aims on liis bnsi- nesis it prospered, but as soon as he attempted to cover too much ground his profits lessened. Outside qeca- latioua have proved the sluioteways of disaster to many a hitherto well-to-do merchant, who, in the eagerness to grasp moio, lost all. « A man who dabbles in evffthii^ never amounts to much in business or professional pursuits, inventors whose heads are ihll of all sorts of appliances and devices never make any headway. They give thnr time and mind np to trifles instead of incarnating some grand idea in solid, Bubstantial form that wonid benefit the world.

HoMT to live ITell. To live well, economy is necessaty. No matter if persons are rich or have large incomes, they should be eco- nomical for to waste is wicked. Many people would be economical if they knew how^ but the practice.of eoonomy is an art. Many people use expensive articles of food and dress when cheap- en ones would be in every way better and more serviceable. Especially in regulating table-expenses is there jp-eat want of economy. A little useful in- formation concerning the quahties of food, the amount of nutritive matter they contain, the wants of the human system, and the best way of cooking, would often save fully one-third, and, i^ many instances, half the expenpe. A wise economy m table- expenses is favorable to health, and thus prevents doctor's bills and conduces to strength and happiness, IJIPORTAIVT.
