Egypt, The troops farther up the Nile
towards Khartoum will be withdrawn as
soon as the Nile rises; probably within a
month. This leaves all of Nubia and
Soudan to the Mahdi. Egypt considers
it absolutely necessary to hold Dongola,
halfway between Wady Halfah and Khar

drawal.
Last year India exported nearly twice

AN ASIAN CAMPAIGN.
The Russian« have at tho present mo
ment 120,000 mon between the Caspian
Soa an! Herat. According to the best
military estimate, Russia's position is
practically unassailable, ami it would be
madness for an Anglo-Indian army of
less than 250,000 men to attempt operat
ing in Central Asia against Russia.
The following plan of operations in
Central Asia has been drawn up by Gen.
Gourko, and would have been put into
execution in the event of war:
First. The principles ol the campaign
would bo those of tho Moscow campaign
of 1812 against Napoleon.
Second. The Russian commander
would strictly avoid any genera] engage
ment until the Anglo-Indian army was
drawn into tho interior at least 600 miles
beyond Cundahar.
Third. Three Russian corps d’armee,
each 30,000 strong, would await the An
glo-Indian a Ivaueo in strongly defensive
positions echeloned along the Kushk and
the Murghab rivers.
Fourth. Twenty-five thousand Cos
sacks at the first sign of a British advance
would swarm through Afghanistan,
arouse tho whole country, proclaim Ayoub,
Khan as Ameei, and harass British com
munications, burning supplies, raiding
round tho British army, stampeding eamp
followers, etc., but avoiding any serious
engagement.
Fifth. A corps of observation of 25,000
men and 15,000 Cossacks to bo stationed
at Chickishlar, on the Caspian, ready to
march straight to Teheran the instant
the Shah of Persia should show the
slightest sign of aiding the English.
Sixth. When the Anglo-Indian army
has been drawn far into the interior, worn
out by the difficult country and worried
night and day by tho Cossacks, it would
be attacked simultaneously by the 90,000
men forming tho three Russian corps
d’armee.
Seventh. In case of a British defeat
the Russian advance would bo followed
by the immediate construction of rail
ways, and made very slowly but very
surely.—A’. U. Herald.
A TERRIBLE AIK SHIP. (
Gen. Russell Thayer, of this city, who 1
is the inventor of a war balloon, has re- 1
ceived instructions from th* ordnance
bo»rd of the United States army to begin ’
work at once ou a monster air ship, which 1
is likely to be one of the most destructive '
implements of battle known to modern 1
science. It will have an ascending force '
of seven tons, will cost nearly $ 10,000, 1
will be 165 feet long and 60 feet through.
It is known as the dirigible war balloon, j 1
is cigar-shaped, pointed at both ends, and ; 1
independent of tho wind it will move 30 I
miles in an hour, the motive power being '
compressed air, which is accumulated by ‘
machinery, and discharged at the rear I
end. It can be steered in any direction, ’
and tons of dynamite can be dropped as it '
sails over a fortification or a fleet of ships, I J
Tests will be made as soon as it is com- ‘

COVERED WITH STAR DUST.
Two Russian astronomers have just
made public the results of a series of in
vestigations of the fall of meteoric matter
upon the earth. Nothing could seem
more absolutely clear and free from all
haze or impuiity than the inter-stellar
spaces, yet the studies of these investiga
tors show that the ether of the star
depths, particularly in the neighborhood
of suds, is rather to be compared with the
dusty atmosphere of a hay mow than with
that perfectly transparent medium that
we are wont to picture to ourselves as
forming the pathway of light between the
stars. As the earth pursues its spiral
course around the sun and with the sun
onward through the universe this star
dust continually sattles upon it, sifting
down through the atmosphere in surpris
ing quantities. Part of it comes from
meteoric bodies, many millions of which
plunge into the atmosphere every day
and are consumed with a sudden flash of
light and heat; part is probably mere
dust when it enters the atmosphere, for
these meteoric bodies undoubtedly vary
in size, from huge bodies larger than the
projectile ofsu 80-ton cannon and endow
ed with a hundred times its velocity, to
mere microscopic particles.
There is good reason for calling this
matter star dust, for it partakes of the
nature of the stars in its composition, and
sometimes presents evidence that it has
actually been subjected to the frightful
heat and pressure that prevail in suns.
Some may have come from our own gun,
for masses of incandescent matter aro oc
casionally shot from its tumbling tire
depths with a velocity which we know
must carry them, like solar missiles, out
among the planets and far into the celes
tial spaces until perhaps they fall upon
some distant star. A large part of the
meteoric matter may always have belong
ed to the solar system, representing the
remnant of tho material of the original
nebula winch was not compounded into
the sun or nr,y of the planets, but con
densed into clouds of winutc-particles. It
is not impossible that meteoric matter
may have fallen upon the earth which
was shot from the gigantic volcanoes of
tho moon io the earlier ages of its history,
when, judging from
it must have sailed a veritable spitfire
through the henvens, all of its thousands
of volcanoes hurling their bombs skyward
in every direction.
Fortunately this meteoric dust possesses
characteristics which distinguish it from
dust of terrestrial origin, and so its pres
ence has been traced all over the earth,
it has been found on mountain peaks, in
the cobwebs of unswept cathedral towers,
in the snowfields of the Arctic regions,
and even in the oozi of the ocean’s bot
tom. The earth is slowly growing by
virtue of its constant downfall. The lat
est investigations show that not less than
4.960 pounds of meteoric matter are add
ed to the weight of the earth every hour.
Yet this is a very slow process of growth,
for at the present rate of accretion mil
lions of years would be required to build
up a respectable mountain range from
tho meteoric matter added to the globe.
If all the star dust that falls upon the
earth in the course of twenty months
could be carefully swept together and
heaped upon the Brooklyn Bridge, it
would just about suffice to break the ca
bles, their ultimate strength over what,
is required to support the superstruct
ure being estimated at 36,0‘J0 tons. Yet
this, after all, is no small amount of mat
ter to come drifting in out of the sky.
The fall of meteoric dust is one of the
most ancient phenomena with which we
are acquainted. Before the rains de
scended or the clouds wore formed, be
fore there were any lands or oceans or
rockribbid hills upon this globe, when it
was yet itself a little blazing sun, and
through ail the ages of its development
from a chaotic mass into a beautiful
planet, the steady downfall of meteors
upon it must have been going on In
those earlier ages, there is reason to think,
the matter thus added to it may have
been fur more considerable in quantity
than that which it now sweeps from the
clearer heavens through which its journey
lie*.-AT, K Sun.
THE SMALLEST WATCH ON EARTH.
A small gold penholder, resting in a
rich velvet case, lay on a jeweler’s show
case iu John Street, last week. The end
of the holder was shaped like an elonga
ted club, and was an inch long. A faint
musical ticking that issued from itattract
cd a customer’s attention. The jeweler
lifted the holder from the c*se with a
smile, and exhibited a tiny watch dial 1-16
of an inch in diameter, sat in the side be
tween two other dials almost as small.
One indicated the day, and the other the
month, of the year. The centre dial tick
ed off seconds, minutes, and hours.
"This is much the smallest watch ever
made,” said the jeweler, ‘ and the only
one of its kind in the world. It took a
Geneva watchmaker the better part of
two years to fit the parts together so that
they would work accurately. It has been
exhibited iu London and Paris.”
The works of th* watch fitted length
wise in the holder. The mainspring was
an elongated coil of steel, fitted to ths
wheels by a tiny chain, and worked like
an old-fashioned clock we'gh‘. It was
wound up by turning a little golden screw
on the under side of the handle. A gold
pen was fitted in the holder, and the jew
eler wrote with it without disturbing the
operations of the fairy watch.
"What’s the price?” said the customer, i
"A round $500," replied the jeweler,
laughing.—Aeso York Sun.

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS.
A New York physician, just returned
from a trip through Kansas, says: “At
all times while in Kansas I was surprised
at the large number of drug stores and
doctors’ offices. One night I arrived in
Pittsburg, a little town of about 4,000 in
habitants. Passing up the main street, 1
counted no less than 20 drug stores and
15 doctors’ offices. Turning to a native I
remarked: ‘This most be a very unhealthy
town.' Winking, he replied: ‘Not partic
ularly unhealthy; only people are taken
sick here suddenly. I feel bad myself;
come in and sec the doctor.' I found that
these drug stores and doctors’ offices were
nothing less than unlicensed dram-shops,
where a few samples were kept inorder
to retain the odor of medicine, but where
the real stock in trade was liquor. Physi
cians in town owned these drug stores,
and were quite willing to give a prescrip
tion for a dose of quinine and whisky,
without any other consideration than that
the sick man should get it filled at one of
their stores. The authorities are comnel
led to wink at these transactions, as they
aro not violations of the law, but evasions
only.”— Savannah News.
SENSIBLE GIRLS.
A number of Maine girls have formed
a protective union, and adopted a series
of resolutions for their government. The
following extract from the constitution
and bylaws gives a very high idea of the
nature, aims, and objects, of the society.
"We will not receive the attention ofany
self styled you«g gentleman who has not
learned some business, or engaged in some
steady employment; for it is apprehended
that after the bird is caught it may s'arve
in the cage. We will promise to marry
no young man who is in the habit cf tip
pling; for we are sure that Lis wife will
come to want, and his children go bare
footed. We will marry no young man if
he is not a patron of his neighborhood
newspaper; for it is a strong evidence not
only of his want of intelligence, but that
ho will prove too stingy to provide for a
family, to educate his children, or to en
courage institutions of learning in bis
community. Home Courier.
ROMANCE OF A CONVENT.
A daughter of General Winfield Scott,
who attended the Georgetowu(D. C.)
convent a number of years ago, took the
veil there While a young lady. There i»'
a little romance eonnected with her life,
and her determination to become a nun.
She visited England with friends, aud fell
in love with a young man. The young
man had a similar fall. For some reason
the two were prevented from marrying.
In consequence he determined to become
a priest; aud she, a nun. Neither knew
the other’s intention. A few years after
ward he, as a priest, vi-ited the convent.
She was lying on her deathbed. They
recognized each other; a few words pass
ed between them, and she lay back upon
her pillow and died"— Chicago News.
Destroy That Sign.
One may feci that he's getting old, but
he naturally dislikes that anything about
his appearance should advise others of
the tact. Yet nothing does this so ef
fectually as thin and falling hair. No
woman wants to marry a man, and busi
ness firms hesitate to employ a man, who
shows this fatal sign. Parker’s Hair
Balsam is worth to you, in this regard,
more than its weight in diamonds. Use
it, and have plentiful aud glossy hair.
Many have had every trace of grayness
removed and bald spots covered by using

AN EDITOR'S DESCRIPTION OF A KISS
A kiss is said to be sweet, not because
■t contains saccharine matter, but because
a man does not know what else to cal!it
when he feels the effect traveling through
his system on a lightning express with
no stop-over cheek. It is Bale to assume
that a man who attempts to describe a
kiss never had one; who have had
kisses (not smacks) do not want to talk;
they just want to think, and dream, and
die with their boots on—Dallas Herald.

Diabetes Cared.
New Orleans Picayune, Jan. 20, 18SI.
Mr. Mathias Doll, business place No.
33 North Peters street, residence Royal
street, between Jeanne and Bartholomew,
New Orleans, has been a most intense
sufferer from kidney trouble (diabetes) for
the last six long and weary years. He
said to us: “ Even earlier than that I fre
quently suffered from pain in the back,
and frequent making of water, but gave it
no thought until about the time stated,
when the almost constant desire to make
water became unendurable. The pain in
the back, and sometimes in the legs, made
me so lame at times that I could scarcely
walk. I consulted one of the best doctors
in this city, and was under his constant
treatment for one entire year without de
riving the least benefit. I then consulted
from time to time, during the last five or
six years, six other physicians, each one
standing in the front rank of the medical
profession in New Orleans, and though I
sometimes was a little relieved of some
excruciating suffering, yet upon the whole
I was not only no better, but in tniny re
spects much worse. My limbs became so
swollen and sore that I could not cross
mv legs when sitting on a chair—all of
which, they said, was caused by diabetes.
I then tried some highly lauded patent
medicine. Rut they all turned out to be
humbugs. I had given up all hopes of
ever getting relief, much less being cured,
svhen I noticed in the papers some won
derlul cures that Pkruna had made in
this city, as prescribed by Dr. Hartman,
giving the name and address of each per
son treated. I called to see him; he at
once prescribed his Pekvn a, which is not
over three weeks, ago. I am so much
better that if I would not improve anv
more, I would not for any amount that I
had not placed myself under his treat
ment. AU my pain and lameness is gone.
The swelling and stiffness in mv legs has
disappeared, and instead of making water
every fifteen minutes, I now make it once
in three hours during the day, and only
twice in a whole night I am, indeed,
quite well again. Don’t hesitate, don't j
say humbug, but get the Perun a at once I
and take it as its printed label directs, or, j
if you think this is only an advertisement :
and not strictly true, call and see me and |
see for yourself.”
Mrs. Huldah Riple, Smethport, Me- I.
