Kalnfall for the Week.
The temperature of the past week has
averaged nearly two degrees above the
normal.
The rainfall has been light over the
greater portion of the state. It has ex
ceeded a half an inch only along the
southern and eastern borders of the state;
over most of the remainder of the state
less than a quarter of an inch fell. In the
southern counties heavy local showers
occurred with high winds.some hail, and
with from one to nearly four inches of
water.
The past week has been about an av
erage one for the growth of crops in
Nebraska at this time of the year but
has been somewhat less favorable than
the immediately preceding weeks.
Oats are ripening rapidly and are be
ing harvested in the southern counties.
Complaints of injury to oata by lodging
and rust are increasing and the crop is
in a much less promising condition than
it was a few weeks ago. Itye and winter
wheat harvest is not yet completed but
has made fair progress.
Corn has grown well and continues in
excellent condition. Most of the crop is
now laid by, the tassels are quite gener
ally appearing and the earlier fields in
the southern counties are silking.
Grass and pasturage continue in excep

GILBERT WHITE.
A Poor Memorial to Him "G. TV." and
1793."
If Gilbert White had never lived or
had never corresponded with Pennant
and Dalnes Barrington Selborne would
have Impressed me as a very pleasant
village set amid diversified and beauti
ful scenery and I should have long re
membered It as one of the most charm
ing spots which I bad found in my ram
bles In Southern England, says the Con
temporary Review. But I thought of
White continually. The village itself,
every feature in the surrounding land
scape and every object, living or inani
mate, and every sound became associ
ated in my mind with the thought of
the obscure country curate, who was
without ambition, and was "a still,
quiet man, with no harm in him no,
not a bit," as was once said by one of
his parishioners. There, at Selborne
to give an altered meaning to a verse
of quaint old Nicholas Culpepper
His Image stamped is on every grass."
With a new intense, interest I watched
the swifts careering through the air
and listened to their shrill screams. It
was the same with all the birds, even
the commonest the robin, bluetit,
martin and sparrow. In the evening
I stood motionless a long while intently
watching a small flock of goldfinches
settling to roost in a hazel hedge. From
time to time they became disturbed at
my presence, and, fluttering up to the
topmost twiga, where their forms
looked almost black against the pale
amber sky, they uttered their long
drawn delicate notes of alarm. At all
times a sweet and tender note, now it
had something more in it, something
from the far past, the thought of one
whose memory was interwoven with
living forms and sounds.
The strength and persistence of these
thoughts had a curious effect. It began
to seem to me that he who had ceased
to live over a century ago, whose let
ters had been the favorite book of sev
eral generations of naturalists, was, al
beit dead and gone, in some mysterious
way still living. I spent hours groping
about In the long rank grass of the
churchyard in search of a memorial;
and this, when found, turned out to be a
diminutive headstone, in size and
shape like a small oval dinner dish,
half buried in the earth. I had to go
down on my knees and put aside the
rank grass that covered it, just as when
we look into a child's face we push back
the unkempt hair from its forehead,
and on the small stone were graven the
two capitals "G. W." and beneath
"1793," the year of his death.
CONSTANTINE'S NEW ROME.
Built Theater, Churches, Baths, Forimi
and Palaces at a Stroke.
Constantine created his New Rome
in 330 as never ruler before or since
created a city, says the Fortnightly Re
view. It was made a mighty and res
plendent capital within a single decade.
Italy, Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, Egypt,
Mauritania were despoiled of their
treasures to adorn the new metropolis.
Constantine built churches, theaters,
forums, baths, porticos, palaces, monu
ments and aqueducts. He built,
adorned and peopled a great capital all
at a stroke, and made it, after Rome
and Athens, the most splendid city of
the ancient world. Two centuries later
Justinian became the second founder of
the city. And from Constantine down
to the capture by the crusaders for
nearly nine centuries a succession of
emperors continued to raise great
sacred and lay buildings. Of the city
before Constantine little remains above
the ground except some sculptures in
the museum and foundations of some
walls which Dr. Paspates believes he
can trace. Of Constantine and his im
mediate successors there remain parts
of the hippodrome, of walls, aqueducts,
cisterns and forums, some columns and
monuments. Of the emperors from
Theodosius to the crusades we still
have, little injured, the grand Church
of Sophia, some twenty churches much
altered and mostly late in date, the
foundations of palaces and one still
standing in ruins, and lastly the twelve
miles of walls with their gates and
towers. The museums contain sarcoph
agi, statues, inscriptions of the Roman
age. But we can hardly doubt that an
Immense body of Byzantine relics and
buildings still lie burled some ten or
twenty feet below the ground whereon
stand today the serails, khans, mosques
and houses of Stamboul, a soil which
the Ottoman is loath to disturb. When
the day comes that such scientific ex
cavations are possible as have been
made in the Forum and the Palatine at
Rome we may yet look to unveil many
monuments of rare historical interest
and, it might be, a few of high artistic
value. As yet the cuttings for the rail
way have given almost the only oppor
tunity that antiquarians have had of in
vestigating below the surface of the
actual city, which stands upon a deep
stratum of debris.

HAD THE WAITER'S SYMPATHY
Man Who Suffered from More Thug's
Than Dyspepsia.
They came Into the breakfast room
of an uptown hotel, says the New York
Journal. It was as evident that the
hollow-eyed, thin-faced, yellow man
was a dyspeptic as It was that both
were from he country and that she
was boss. She was tall and spare and
resembled an animated vinegar cruet
in more ways than one. They seated
themselves at a table and consulted a
bill of fare.
"What are you going to have ?" asked
she, with just a suspicion of a sneer.
"Well, I'm feelin' pretty good today
and I guess I'll take two boiled eggs
and a cup of coffee."
"I thought so. Well, I guess you'll
have one poached egg and a cup of hot
water."
The dyspeptic sank into himself and
said mildly: "I feel considerably bet
ter today and two boiled eggs would
taste good."
"But one egg poached, Is all you get.
If I didn't look after your stummick
you wouldn't have any," said she, with
a baleful glare.
"But I'm hungry. Can't I have two
poached?"
"What's the use of arguing, Henry?
I try to speak plain, and one poached
egg and a cup of hot water is what I
said."
Here a light came into the eye of
the unfortunate, like the last glimmer
of the spark in a dying match, and he
turned to the waiter. . In a voice
trembling with moral courage the
dyspeptic said: "Two boiled eggs and
a cup of coffee for me."
Ills better half looked at him dumb
founded for a moment, and then she
said decisively: "Waiter, you bring
him one poached egg and a cup of hot
water, and I'll have a steak with fried
potatoes and two boiled eggs and a side
dish of hash and a plate of corn bread
oh, and some oranges to start with."
The waiter walked toward the kitch
en in deep abstraction, while the lady
glanced triumphantly at her lord and
master, who fell to reading a newspa
per with much attention. When the
waiter came back with the order there
was a look of grim determination on
his face. He first put the beefsteak,
fried potatoes, the oranges, the corned
beef hash and eggs and corn bread be
fore madam. Then he defiantly placed
at the dyspeptic's place the forbidden
boiled eggs and the coffee.
"Didn't I tell you to bring him one
poached egg and a cup of hot water?"
demanded the lady, with austerity.
"You take them things back and bring
what I told you to."
"Beg pardon, mum! What did yo'u
say? Wheat cakes? Certainly, mum,"
and the waiter fled toward the kitchen.
The dyspeptic ate the two boiled eggs
and drank his cup of coffee triumph
antly; but he did not look, when he left
the table, as if he expected a pleasant
fifteen minutes immediately following.
IRRIGATION AND THE NILE.
A Plan That, It Is Estimated, Will Cost
5,O6O,O0O.
Additional sources of supply to be
used during the summer season, when
the Nile is low, are most urgently re
quired, says the National Review. Sev
eral schemes have been proposed for
this purpose and have during the last
few years been carefully examined and
weighed, and there is now a general
agreement among experts in favor of
a reservoir above Assouan, at the first
cataract, with a dam or barrage at As
eiout, and various subsidiary works in
the form of canals and drains. It is not
proposed to store the Nile water at full
flood, since to do this would be to ar
rest the useful flow of fertilizing mud
to which the present Irrigation owes
so much of its value and at the same
time to silt up the reservoirs with it.
What is proposed is to store water
when the Nile, no longer charged with
mud, begins to fall in the late autumn
and winter, and to let it out during the
summer, thus maintaining a fairly av
erage level of water in the Nile and
in the irrigating canals during the
summer as well as the winter months.
This would give an ample supply dur
ing the summer in lower Egypt and
will In other parts of the country in
troduce perennial in place of annual ir
rigation. It will then be possible to
grow several successive crops in one
year and to substitute for the present
single crop of corn, beans cr clover the
much more profitable crops of sugar
and cotton. One objectionable feature
which for a long time delayed the
scheme namely, the submersion of the
temples of Philae has been modified,
and the archaeologists are now assent
ing parties to the modified scheme.
The one difficulty which remains is to
raise the requisite money. The whole
cost is estimated at 5,000,000. Possi
bly it might be done for a million less
and subsidiary works might be exe
cuted out of revenues. But it is as well
to contemplate the larger sum.
Drinks Were on Cuba.
There was fire In the insurgent's eye.
"We Cubans can never be trampeled
inder foot," he said. "Even if, by wan
on butchery, this insurrection be put

lympathizer, cynically. "But there
vould have to be wheels within wheels

The rebel was puzzled, but patriotic.
"I do not understand you," he said,
totly.
"Two revolutions in rotation," mur

, Hunting the Wild Goat-
The white goat, or Rocky Mountain
goat, as it is indiscriminately culled, is
a species of big game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not so much because
of the difficulty of killing the animal, nor
because of its actual rarity. It is a stu
pid animal, easily shot when once found.
It is not, however, found in the usual
hunting grounds, as are bear, deer, elk,
etc. It is remote from the common lo
calities, but where found is in goodly
numbers. It ranges very high up in the
mountains, above timber line usually,
among rocks and cliffs. This requires
great labor to get at it, but once there,
the hunter will get bis game nine times
out of ten.
If you care to read of a goat hunt
made in the Bitter Root range in Mon
tana, in the fall of 1895, send six cents
to Charles S. Fee, General passenger
agent, Northern Pacific railroad, St.
Paul, Minn., for Wonderlaid '96, which
recounts such a hunting expedition.
