His exercise-book had originally been designed for accounts, and he now filled the money colomn with an Atmbic phrase, translating It into Eoglish on the border line. Ashe opened the book he disclosed a conple of cheap New- Year cards, the remembrance of unknown ad- mirers in England. The literatnre was execrable; but the gay colors seemed to please the Egyptian, and he evidently treasured them. Two or three men in native dress were standing about the stables which flanked one side of the honse. A gentleman whom we subsequently knew as the in- terpreter advanced to receive as as tiie carriage entered the groonds. Arabl silently bowed a welcome, bat did not s( em inclined for conversation with casual strangers. Many passers-by odl in, and he is not quite sure that all are friendly. We had an introduction from a trusted personal friend, which smoothed matters, and presently the cold suspicions manner was altered, and the silent man became loquacious. He has so far profited by his studies in English as to be able to carry forward simple conversation. He will soon pass by his interpreter, whose com- mand of English is not extensive, the effort of translation causing him pite- ously to perspire. Arabi had no objection whatever to discuss political affairs; he even ostenta- tiously persisted in doing so from tbe standpoint of a permanent exile. Dke Victor Hugo after the covp d'etat, he has taken a solemn oath (perhaps superfluous in the existing circumstances) never to let his foot press Uie soil of Egypt while Tewfik reigns. Qui. tant qu'il sera la qu'oR cede oa qu'on persiste, O France France aimee, et qu'on pleur et tonjoura Je ne reverrai pas to terre douce et triste Tombeau de mes aieux nid de mes amours I Thus speaks Victor Hugo, in ' Lea Chati- ments." " I will never go back to Egypt aslong as it is enslaved by Tewfik," Arabi says, with unwonted excess of animation. ' I have no desire to see Ectypt whila it is a land of slaves. Once it was a country that smelled sweet to the nostrils; now it stinkL Its wells are covered witA earth; there ii no refreshment in it.

Tewfik is not clever enough to be a rogue; he is simply foolish. I do not think he knows the difference between right and wrong." Of England, whose arms chased lum from Alexandria and routed him at Tel-el- Kebir, Arabi speaks with unfeigned re- spect, and with an sffactionate regard which, if not real, Is well assumed.

Then he bronght out his lesson-book, and gazed with a pleased, fond smile upon his tremendous and painful feats of cali- graphy. â-  ».» â-  The Green Cbicken. A short time back a snreen parrot who was allowed the run of a London garden had taken it hito his head to climb a tree, to get on the dividing- wall of that and other gardens, and to make voyages of ezploraiiun. He had arrived at a place where the brick wall was surmonnted by a green treUis, and he perohed himself on this, occasionaUy exclaiming, **Mother 1" in a heartrending tonis. The garden which he tiius dominated was inubited by a red tom-cat of decided character, who app«rently took this as a challenge. He quickly mounted the wall and the trellis, and began hostile approaches in form. The scene was too interesting to be in- terrupted prematurely; but the household of the red cat prompUy armed themselves with weapona, and attained a point of vanc^e whence they could protect the bird, who, though a stranger, was known and appreciated. Bat the parrot hadjiaf- ficient resoaroe. For a time it pad no apparent attention to the cat, bat gas d into vaamoy, ejaculating "Mother!" Exactly as me cat crouched for a spring at a footer two distance, and as tiie spec- tators Wire wondering whMher brooms ought to jome into play, the pairot made a half fac9 with the speed of lightning, rose on its heeb like a oook, flapped Its wings, also ohantideer fashion, ana poono- ed on the cat with wings and beak. It did it no harm beyond a decided boffetd but the oat was so completely bewOdere that it nMriy fell off the trellis and shof fled back seyeral feet, while the paxtot contemplated it with the air of a nrtnml philowpher, and again cried 'Motharl' At this pdnt the eat, completely beatem, was picked off the wall by a benevolait cook, and retlxed to mmioate on the im- sportsmanlike oddities of **green ohisk- ens."

The ahmpers axe Annoar, PlanUngton A Co., McKdl A Libby, and Fairbanks Oo. Recently Arawar, Plankington Oo. recetred an order for 400,000 ponnda of beef, maUng altogether 3,000,000 poands which they have thoa far sold to the English Govern- ment. Most of the canned goods consist of corned and roast beef, ready cooked and pat op with spedal reference to use in hot climates. It Is packed in dx-ponnd cans by instraction. Mr. Armour said, ** We skughter between 600,000 and 700,- 000 cattle every year. Only about 160 pounds of each animid are fit for canning, as the fattyparts cannot boused. To provide 3,000,000 pounds of canned beef, or 600,000 cans, would require 20,000 cattle. The parts not used in canning are sold as fresh meat. Our business with the English Ghvemment has been be- tween 1300,000 and 1400,000. We un- derstand that the meat is for the Egyp- tian army, and Is sent from London to Alexandru and Suakim. It is bought in this country because there are no other dealers who cotUd fill the orders. A western cattle dealer was asked whether the demand for cattle, caused by the order received by Armour Co. from the British Government for 6,0(H),000 cans of meat for the army in Egypt, would put up the price of cattle on tiie ranches. '^Texai." he said, "furnishes the can- ners. Tfaelr meat doesn't come from the fattening ranges of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. The demand for Ttrxans may be increased a little, and it will be a godsend to some of the cattle men down there. This Texas trade de- pends on the demand for canned, beet, and for heifers and stock cattle for thg northern ranges. Seventy thousand cat- tle, however, can be itont on for cannine purposes ail d not be miued even after this hard winter. No, we won't calcu- late on that demand, but it ought to please the Texas cowmen after their hard luck." A New Kind of Cruiser for the British Nari. Tde new belted cruisers, or, as they have been called in Parliament, the '*new Merseys,' for which ceitain shipbuilders have been invited to tender, diff.r from, their more recent predecessors in bavins 10 feet more beam, being 300 feet by b% feat, and in having an increase of 1 300 tons in the displaccmert, making them up to 5.000 tonv The protective decV bus been replaced by an armor belt 2'0 f ^et long, fcrmed of 10 inch steol-fikcea armor of 6-inch cf backing. The ends are pro- tected by an underwater belt similar to the Merseys. As the ends of the belted cruisers are very fire, the part of the water-line not actually protected by arm- or is proportionately very small. The engines of these vessels are to be 7,500 horse power, to be obtained by the use of forced draught in a closed stokehole. There are four boilers, donble-ended, hav- ing a total grate surface of about 500 square feet, and working a pressure of 120 pounds. Their total weight is not to exceed 720 tons. They are of a similar type to those supplied to the Leander class by Messrs. Robert Nailer Sons, having cast steel framing and hollow steel shafting throughout. The armament consists of two 18-ton guns, arrang id â€" one forward, to fire all round the Iraw to about fifty degrees abaft the beam, and one aft, to fire through a similar sweep round the stom. In addi- tion to these, there are tn elve 4 ton guns and six machine guns. A torpedo arma- ment will also be provided, Doth above and under water. The construc'-ion of the hulls does not materially differ from that of tbe smaller and earlier ironclads of Her Majesty's navy, such as the Hy- dra, fkelson, and Cot qieror, but they are of steel thzbughout. These belted cruisers will each be manned by a crew of from 330 to 350 officers and men, for whom very good ac- comodation is found on the second deck above the water Ube. All the usual re- finements of a cruiser have to be pmvid' ed in their most modem form. When oomple*^ these vesseb will be works of modem engineering second to none. As vessels of war|they cannot fail to be for- midable. Their weak point appears tO be their speed, which is not to be more than eighteen knots. A Man Not Apt to be Discharsed. Jobbins observed a man going about in a country village hanging up street lamps in a primitive way. He remarked to a Mend that the Illuminator was quite sure of holding his situation as lung as he oared to. "Wlqrt" Inquired the friend. «« Behauae a man that hangs fire Isnt apt to be discharged," was the reply.

The bloodvessels of these odd feet become narrowed by tha lack oi flow of the vital fluid to them, thus perpetuating and in- creasing the difficult. Those who are trouUMl in this way should take plenty of exereise in the open air and soak tkefar feet in warm water every idght. This oountersots the tendcn«7 to congestion, enlarges the vessels, and hdps perman- ently to relieve tlie feet of their special tendenqr to oddness. 'Feet that perspire and emit a bad odor should be washed every night, too. After the;^ have been bathed a two per cent, solution of carbolic add should be applied, nie stockings, too, should be changed dafly and the boots should have inner soles that can be taken out each day and likewise dipped in a two per cent, solution of carbouc add. The rea- son that this process is necessary is that the bad odor is due to microscopic organ- isms and the add kills them. The sol- diers of the Bavarian army are required to bathe their feet every day, anid rab them with a pomade composed of two parts of ssliqriic add in 100 parts mutton tallow, to prevent perspiration. Each soldier is provided with twen^-nine grammes of this pomade. 'Most feet can be kept soft and healthy by soaking tbem in water m hot as can be borne before retiring, usiiu; ammonia and soap freely. Thoy shomd then be rabbed briskly with a rough bath towel, and glycerine, mixed with an equal part of carbolic acid two per cent, strong, ap- plied to them. Mutton or beef tallow will d J instead of (he glycerine. Another thing that helps keep the feet cold is Uie conventional shoe. Even if the Bhoes yon wear are large enough, which they very seldom are, they would puU the muscles of the feet awry, pinch up the bones in one place and let them spread out in another until they could have no natural action, and, consequently, the circulation is interfered with. Yes, y 'B, 1 know," thephysician added, testily, as the young lady opened her month in a uild prote t, "that a loose shoe could be quite as uc comfortable as a tight one. I kuow the shoe ought to fit as closely as the stocking, and wat a loose-fitting shoe is quite as productive of corns and dis- comfort as one that pinches. But where it should be tight, young lady. Is around the ankle, across the instep, around the arch of the foot and the heel. But the front half shoidd have a large sole and a loose upper. Then the bones in. that part of your foot will have plenty of room for movement. With the kind of shoes you are now wearing these bones are all squeezed together and the joints almost telescoped. Of course your feet can't help being cold. No I can't give you any medicine for it. Get yourself a sen- sible pair of b )Ots, take care of your feet as I have advised you, and you'll have no morctrouble." •vitcr. Truth Stranger than Fiction. Moret, the French colonel, afterwards geneVal of brij^e, passed through a series of most remarkable, yet perfectly au- thenticated, adventures during Napoleon's SpaniisJi campaign. On one occasion he was taken prisoner by the guerillas, and sentenced to be shot along with twelve of his comrades. The prisoners were placed aeainst a wall and fire opened on them. Moret was not hit, but dropped to the ground and pretended to be dMd. When die coast was clear he arose and rejoined his comrades in safety. Four weeks later he was taken again. This time he was hanged, but owing to some defect in the slip knot, he was found to bi alive when cut down by a troop of Uhlans, who came upon the scene In the nick of time. At the end of six months he was a third time captured by the enemy, who bound him hand and foot and threw him into the Gaudlana. They saw him sink, and marched off in triumph. 'BntJ Moret was an expert swimmer. Diving and swimming under the water, he reached the opposite wooded shore. Where he got rid of his bonds. After that the cohinel became an object of sup- o'stition. The guerillas fled whenever they saw him. Ballads were composed on him, in which he was described as the incarnate prince of the lower regions. He was thought to be bullet-proof, and that deatJi had no power over him. To this superstition he owed his safety when the Spaniards attacked him at Lbngrons, and were idready on the point of victory. Springing up out of his sleep, he rushed into Uie street, with Ids swmd, drawn, and in vary primitive costume. At his appearanoe^he Spaniards ware naralysad. They fled crying, "The fiend! the in- destxoctlUe fiend i" and the French previondy beaten now xamaincd mastaia of Longrona.

Oi^ BabMt Baaham waa oaa of a party of seventy who, inl77 ware asoendingiha Ohio under the com* mand of Major Rog«n. At the mouth of the Lickuig River, they saw a few Indians at tha and of a saod-har, and thoufi^tto capture them 1^ eattingoff their retreat. But they fell faito a trap. When thay landed, several hundred savages in am- bush, «tarted up aad fired upon them. Rogers and forty-five othera were killed on the spot. The remainder saw with dismay Uie men who had been left in charge of the boats put offinone.of Uiem, and Uie remaining boats were in tJie handa of the enemiea. There was nethhag hdi to do but to turn furiously upon their foes and force their way through them undercover of the approaching darknesa. Many more men were cut down In thia attempt, and a miserable remnant escaped to Hurodsburgh. Caps. Benham was shot through both hips in this sortie. Noticing a Urge f aUen tree near by, he dragged himself to its with great oaln, and escaped discovery. He did not dare to stir until the evening of the second day, for fear of being seen and heard by some wandering savage. He could not have stirred if he would, and began to fear that he should die of starvation, when he was so fortunate as to shoot a racoon, though he saw no way by which he could reach and cook it. To his surprise and terror, the report of his gun was followed by a human cry not more than fifty yards off. Sup- posing it to be an Indian, ha re- loaded his gun and lay ready to defend himself. The cry was soon repeated, nearer by. But Benham remained quiet tUl he heard it a third time, saying In un- mistakable English, â€" ** Whoever you are, in meroy answ^ me 1" On replying, the two men were Suon face to face. What was their mutual amaaement when they discovered that while Ben- ham's hips were both shattered, the new- comer's arms were both broken The poor fellows made up one complete man between them, supplemeuticg each othera defidencies of limb and of the means oi self-preservation.. Benham could use his gun and shoot game, and his ally could go after it and kick it to him to be couked, gathering brushwood also in this way. Bdnbam had to feed his friend, and dress his wounds as well as his own, tearing up both their shirts for the purpose. The^ way they obtained watar was f jr the arm- less man to take one of their bats between his teeth, and wading into the river up to his neck to fill the hat by ducking hia head. When all the birds and squirrels with- in reach had been killed, the man who had legs would take a wide drcuit and drive the game, especially wild turkeys, within gunshot of the man who had arms. Tbu4 they preserved their lives for several weeks, until their wounds were sufficiently healed for the one to hobble oi| cmtohes, and the other to feed him- self with one of lit hands. Then trans- ferring themselves t9 the river-side, they waited for some boat to carry tbem to the Falls of the Ohio. They were finally rescued, and both iU' time were restored to health. Benham served through the whole Indian war In the North- West, and finally ended his days in peace on the very spot whera this accident took place, having purchased the land. Coloring a Meerschaum. The most common complaint is that their meerschaums will nut turn from their natu-al yellowish-white color to a rich brown, even after the smokers have smoked themselves into the color of a dried mummy in the effort. After the artist has finished cutting the design and has shaped the bowl, the finished bowl is boiled in wax. Wny in wax Because the wax penetrates the pores for a short distance beneath the suriace and serves to keep the cdorlng matter in the pipe. The coloring matter is the oil of tobacco, not nicatine, as mary erroneoudy sup- pose, and it sinks into the meerschaum, which is dmply a very fine porous clsy, and la stopped by the wax l)efore it ia driven out at the outer surface by the heat indde. if it were not for the wax the coloring matter would pass out and get rabbed off and the pipe would never be colored. A glaring of glass would do as well as wax, but wax is the cheapest material that has been found for the pur- pose. Now when over-anxious smokers try to hurry the process aof eoloring the pipe, by smoJdng pipeful after pipeful of tobacco, the wax is driven out, leaving the pipe raw and dry. The nearer to the top of the bowl the wax is kept the finer it will look whea colored. Tlie smoker should take long, dow pulls at the pipe, and after one jupeful u exhausted the pipe should be liud down to cool iff before it u filled again.
