f ■ COULD SHE HAVE GUESSED?
Could sha have guessed my coward carol
I knew her foot upon the stair.
Her figure chained my inmost eye:
I only looked a lover’s lie—
I feigned indifference, felt despair.
My very blood leaped up, aware
Os her free step and morning air;
She raise! her head, she caught my eye—
Could she have guessed ?
I faced her with a chilly stare,
With words so common and so bare!
Her whispering skirts as she went by,
Swept every sense—a thrilling sigh!
|Lh! would her heart have heard my prayer,
Could she have guessed?
EGYPT’S BURDEN OF DEBT.
Half a Billion Dollars —The Terrors of
Taxation —Cruelty and Extravagance.
[St. Louis G'.o >e-Demoerat. ]
During the present century only has
it been possible to borrow from abroad,
and tho modern despots of Egypt have
taken full advantage of their oppor
tunities. At present the foreign debt of
the country exceeds 100,000,000 pounds
sterling, or $500,000,000, without in
cluding the monkobalak of forced in
terior debt, which amounts to many
millions more.
The population of Egypt proper is a
little ptoro than 5,000,000, so that the
national indebtedness exceeds SIOO for
each and every man, woman and child
in the country. The land is wonder
fully fertile, producing ordinarily three
crops a year, but even with this fertil
ity it is impossible to meet the expenses
of a costly government and pay the in
terest on the enormous debt. Taxation
is placed on everything that can bear
it and on many things that are wholly
unable to do so.
In 1864 the revenue of Egypt was a
little less than 5,000,000 pounds ster
ling; in 1873 it was 10,500,000 pounds
sterling, and since that time it has
varied between 8,000,000 and 10,000,-
000 pounds sterling annually. It
is derived from taxes and
tithes on land and its products,
and on tolls and railway and customs
duties. It averages nearly $2 from
each inhabitant, counting all ages and
both sexes, and it is a grievous burden.
The collection is framed out by the
government and the district collectors
take handsome co amissions for them
selves, so that the real taxation is much
greater than the figures given above.
The local collectors are armed with
courbashes (whips made from the hide
of the hippopotamus and beyond excep
tion the most cruel whips in the world >,
and the peasants are Hogged with these
instruments of torture until they pay
what is demanded. The courbash has
been in use from time immemorial,
but its application was prob
ably more universal an 1 liberal under
Ismail Pasha than under any of his pre
decessors. Ismail’s “necessities” for
money were many and great, and he
governed himself (and his people) ac
cordingly. He was constantly building
palaces—he had a superstitious belief
that he would die whenever he did not
have a palace in course of construction;
he gave the sultan 10,000,000 pounds
sterling to have the Mohammedan law
changed so that he could be succeeded
by his son rather than by the eldest
male member of his family, as was
hitherto the custom; he entertained
with a splendor rivaling that of Akbar
or Aureugzebe the Great; and he lav
ished money upon fireworks and other
useless extravagances whenever occa
sion offered.

How Often
Have parents not had good cause to com
plain as to the wear and tear of their chil
dren’s shoes? You are buying shoes for
your children all the time, and the strain
on your pockets must have been quite un
comfortable at times. The fault is not alto
gether with the dealt r, but with the manu
ufacturer in the first place, and with the
purchaser next, who wants to buy usually
cheap, and is attracted by flaming adver
tisements to buy bargains in Shoes at lb or 33
cents a pair. No matter how skillfully the
advertisement may be gotten up, the shoe
is made to sell, and not to wear. Common
sense must teach you that, if not disap
pointment has done it already. We could
say a great deal more to enlighten the
public on cheaply gotten up shoes, but we
hardly can add anything new for which they
have not already dearly paid.
WE PROPOSE A REVOLUTION
in the Shoe trade, more especia ly as regards
Children’s Shoes. We have made special
arrangements with manufacturers to make
us as honest Shoes at can be made, Shoes
that will wear twice as long as Shoes,
sold as the best, now wear. If we under
stand our business, and we claim we do,
then we have succeeded in bringing into
this market such goods as no one ever had
and at prices ranging from 95 cents and up
wards.
We propose to stamp every pair with the
date of purchase, so that parents can tell for
a certainty how long the Shoes lasted, and
thus verify this statement,

DEAF AND BLIND.
How an Atlanta Woman was
Made to See and Hear.
AN INTERESTING STORY.
Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs.
George Fickland, 41 McAfee street, Atlanta,
Ga., and from her own lips a Constitution re
porter learned the following story:
Several months ago she became almost to
tally blind and deaf, and could not tas'e any
thing except so it. Her bones became the seat
ol intense pain, her joints were swollen and
painful, and eventually her whole body and
limbs became covered with splotches and
small sores. Her appetite failed, and she
gradually lost flesh and strength, and had but
little use ol herself, as her limbs and muscles
were paralyzed. She, as well as her friends
and those with whom she lived, despaired of
her recovey. Her sufferings, combined with
loss of hearing and taste, and blindness, were
truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use
of medicines seemed powerless. Her dis
ease was blood poison and rheumatism.
As she now seemed well and hearty the re
porter asked what wrought such a wonderful
change. , , .
“1 used a medicine recommended by a
friend,” she replied, “and before one bottle
had been taken I began to see and hear. The
second bottle relieved all rheumatic pains
and improved my appetite. When I had com
pleted the use of six bottles my eyesight and
heanng were fully restored, sense of taste re
turned, and splotches disappeared, sores all
healed, and my strength and flesh restored.
I now feel as well as I ever did, and my
friends, as well as myself, are astonished.”
“What was the Medicine?” asked the re
porter. , „
“Botanic Blood Balm —B. B. B. was the
great remedy that a'-ted so powerfully on my
disease and cured me. I never experienced
any unpleasant symptoms from its use, and
its action is so quick that it surprises all.”
The reporter then sought a physician who
knew the case, whereupon he handed us the
following lines:
“1 examined the above case of blood poison
and rheumatism, before and after being
cured, and certify to the main facts above
stated, and must acknowledge that the B. B.
B. effected a most wonderful cure in this
well-known case.
