Alaska has been a part of the United States since lHoT, and of late has been rapidly growing in commerciul im portance, enforcing the need of tho statuteb and the enactment of a sys tematic code for the regulation of its concerns.

Its fisheries stand in tie first' rank, its production of K in Teasels year by year, and may some time be as abundant as that of California or Middle Africa, aud it piMs.-ssr-s many other productive capabilities likely to be rapidly, developed.- Immigration there shows a steady increasing volume, as do its tile of xport and Import, and alto iT"t!ier it is entitled to the most seri u. r..i.i attentive legislative Considera tion.

HE tenU of the Egyptian army arose, whit aa snow, against a nky of ultramarine below spread the white sand. Heat more intense could not bo imagined. The air fairly quiv ered with it, and it had upon the eves the blinding effect of tne flashing of a mirror in the sun. It was not a time of battle. The little army composed the. mili tary cordon with which Ismail Pacha protected the recently established ag ricultural districts on the borders of Abyssinia, and the roads for traffic, which iu 18(10 had not lon:j been Opened. The dearth of cotton, caused by tho Civil War of the United States, had given Ismail the idea of making Egypt a rcat cotton growing country, and since then, railways, telegraphs aud all manner of improvements have been introduced. , At the date of the story, great cara vans of camels bore the products ol iua fields to their various markets, and no roaring, red-eyed steam mon ster had yet invaded the land of mys tery, silence, and the sphinx. Every ono was languid. Tho offi cers resting in their tents, thj com mon Joldiers squatting about at ease. A caravan on its way south had paused to eat and rest until night fell, and that great, golden thing, tho moon of Egypt, should rise to light the on their way. Each man had said his prayers, and before praying, feiuce water was not plentiful, had rubbed his hands with dust which was counted to his credit just the same- by the recording angel of bis paradise, who always makes allowance for cir-oimstances- Now peace Jiad fallen Lion tho hot world, where almost averybodv slumbered. in his tent Capttaia IUn El-Warn- kah was dreaming. His dreams carried him away from th-. tout, the soldiers aud all his present surroundings. He was once rn ce m the home of his Uuele Iii.k entcrtaiuel as a beloved kjuext. He had m"mi his aunt, who was his mother.- sister, even without the lace-veil. II it she, having sent kind -messages t his in other, and given him a present, ha I retired to th private roo ns of the women, from which, now an 1 then, cam a silvery -ripple of laughter, aud words spoken in a voice that was the sweetest he had ever heard. He knew it was that of his Cousin Fat-Meh. Fat-Meh h i 1 been a beau tiful hub girl. H hal a! way .re membered Fat-Meh affectionately. But uow he could not ask to her, any more than u she ha 1 been the daughter of some stranger. He might not look uuon a woman" fa?e, even if she were his cousin. He bo we 1 to custom, a the young nun of th;a country doA. But it came into his miud, now that little Fat-Meh. who had been a.s dear as a sister t him in those babyycars, was veiled and h: Idea from Lira from a stranger, tait .-vea .si i estab lished Egyptian customs might bo carried too far. He sat and ate r. ; various dibhes .vhich the bl.tc,i siavo offered to th quests. But all the while he thought A little Fat-Meh. and lai i a plan by which at least to see her. 5 Ia Egypt, one ia not obliged to sit it table until all tho company have finished their meal. Each may rise when he is satisne 1, saying, "Praise be to fiod," wash his hands in the ewer which the servant holds for him before and after meals, dry them on the embroidered towol aadreiire from the company. And so, a on a ht dared, Ibin lid thi. and fsayin? that he wiahel once more to pee the garden and pom egranate trMi under which he had played inehildhool, left the room. Out into the garden he went and standing where ho coild see the lat ticed windows above, began to aing a little rhyme that children sing when tkey play together, beatiug time with hispalms. What more naturally, when memories of youth returned with tne sight of the garden where before Fat Meh had been able to walk alone, he had led her by her tiny hand what more natural than tkat he should r member tne rhyme and iing it again And while he sang another voice, soft and low. took up the strain. Some one was singing behind the lattice of the window. He knew it was Fut Meh. A little later and he saw that the lattice was pushed noftly open. A veiled face peeped forth, a hand was extended for a moment and a rose dropped. Above the veil he saw great eyes, like stars, bordered with kohl. TheD, as if by accident, the veil dropped, and he baw his cousin Fat Meh'a face the baby face become a woman's, and beautiful exceedingly. It vanished. The window was closed. He. picked np the rose au 1 hid it in his bosom and returned to the house. Before he left his uncle's abode, however, he had asked some questions and learned that Fat-Meh was already promised in marriage and that the meeting of relatives, to settle the question of dowry, would occur very soon. It is not often that k young Egyp tian sees a. girl's face, and this one glimpse of his cousin's face rem line I in Ibin' heart as a kiss might in tht of an Englishman. Ho was dreaming of her as a man entered the tent in haste and a voice called: Captain my captain!" and he looked up an 1 saw a soldier beside him. ''Captain," this man said, saluting him, "a boy, who appears to bo dying, asked to be brought to you. Will you see him?" Ibin sprang to his feet and followed the man 4to tho open tJk. There, supported by two other men. to. I n beautiful, beardless boy, who lifte 1 his eyes and looked into Ibin s fact imploringly. "Captain," he s4d, I have Forn thing to tell you something whi -'n no one must hear. Tako me to you: tent take me quickly. Without a word, the captain op vi"-1 his arms to receive the fainting form, and, lifting it, bore it into his ten:. The soldiers did not daro to folio .v, and, seeing they were not wao.t.'d, re tired. Softlv as a mother b--rs her chil 1, Ibin laid his burden down upon tii i rugs spread in it.s shalo v an! ka ! down beside it. His heart "wa,s beating wilily. He trembled from head to fo t- His eyes the eyes of a lover, against wn: .i no woman ever yet disguised h-reL" had recognized his cousin Fat-Mr-h on the instant. Why she thus mas pa raded he did not know? but sq3 hi I asked for him, and wild fancies title I his mind. Now, as he 'knelt ther, a--whispered i "I know you! I knew you, Fat Meh! Tell me quickly what it is thai ails you !' "Oh, Cousin Ibin, t i a muni," the girl gaspel ere in my arm i 1 came with the new soldiers wn cn to-day. Two of them quarreled. Ua ? struck at the oth-r. He snran be hind me, and the blai entare I my arm. I am dyiug.- And, oh. i was so horrible to think "J dying si a"ng-t strange men. an i that th-y ' sail know! And I knew that you w -.j x .1 keep my secret. Hide x ! L.: 20 one knx even after I ax deal!' Lve no fear. I Will sa:eld 1 Slid I : 1 with mv life if nec?5arv , ' "Here on your sleeve I see blool it h... re; "Yes'." whisnere I the gr!. On the instant' Ibin rinoil an tbj aeevoe , and to his joy foaai yet daageronsiy. When he had banal it up an 1 reassured her. he covered her face and left her to rest, ani want out to tell his tale. The little soldier, he said, not mu?u hurt. He wti a mere boy, an b. lancie I hitnelf dy ing, and had asked for him tnat ha might send a message to his parent. For the present he wonld care for' him. Then he returned to hu tent. Fat-Meh was awake. Her great eyes turned upon him. "Ibin," she said, "do I eem boll to you? I suppose so. But littea. I laavo been learning legions, Ia Egypt women are slaves. They sell oa a it we were birds. I, for inttanee, have a heart; I wish to marry one I lor. And there came to our house an old woman, who told my parents that a rich man wished to marry me ; and they said I must marry him. I prayoJ them not to give me to him. They laughed. The preparation were com plete. The. time ha l come. l)o roa blame me for running away? A few jewels bought tho help of an old wo man. While they war looking for a lost girl, a boy maxehed away with the soldiers. "Oh, I would have done, anything to escape that frightful man ! See, I have even cut my long hair ! Does it-T make mo ugly? Do you think me bold and bad very, very bad? I saw that you loved mo when yu looked up atme from the garden. . But, if I have made you despise me, at least letc me stay and be a little soldier, anises you now and then, and perhap wait on you sometimes. And when there is a battle, fight beside yoa. Only d3 not send me back to marry somebody I hate. Pity ma, even if you eorn me." On this, Captain Ibin El-Warrakah quite forgot Egyptian good maimers, and took Fat-Meh's haul in his an ! held it against- his heart, and told her that she was a rose, a uightingale and a dve, and he recited this Terse to her : v- Ya mllan knafoo mm Allah. Wa shamai astiik 11-ah Hobukkum mek tooh mla Allah, Kaddarn I mowla alelrjla." Which might be very freely trans lated thus : Oh, beloved one Since Allah has given us to each other,1 the lore we feel is ordained by him. Therefore, let no one blame us for what fU , de creed in paradise." But in spite of this bold speech, and their brave hearts, matters might have ended badly for both had it not hap pened that the khedive elected to viait i his soldiers that morning. Mounted on a pr.in?iug hors, fol lowed by other high-miiotiaeases mounted on oth-r prancing horses, with music and clash and jingle ani floating bami -ri an 1 great pomo and ceremony. Ani it so happened that Capt ain 1 1 i 1 Ei-'(Vurrakah had of late accomw'ii-ue I eeitaii: doughty deeds, and been reported favorably for them, so that nfcdien . he begged for mercy, mercy was granted. Like all the vizier and sultans in the Hr.abifti, Night Tales," the khedive was sentimental. He felt for true lover. Therefore, having a right t do as he pleased, he declared that these iov.-ra .should bi married, had the ceremony p-rformel as soon as possi ble, b-?stowel his blessing an I a dowry up,,n hjf br.de, made th captain a Colon"!, ani ent a message to the parent to tii e erTert that they hal b tier not 1: him hear thm mate any objections. n i this wa sH veryl.iiky lo:. little Fat-Meh, for Evynt.an fathers make n . thing of putting a daughter who has disgraced her family as completely n1- thi-htiie r 'h dhal certainly don i:.to a lag.- along with a few lumps o hue, ah 1 h'lv.ng her quietly toased iu 'o t:i nearest river.

A firm of Eondon fashionable den tisti has introduced 'the occupation of "denticure," which, in plain English, i "the art of cleansing the teeth." Young women are sent out from the office to riait customers daily, like aaiire, and properly an i person ally, as it would aeera from the reading of tbe ajooount, perform the office of brushing the teeth.

New York Journal. yOVEhTIES IN VEILIN1. The shops that develop one or more novelties every week are now offering some rather fresh ideas in value. Tho newest is of fine silk tulle cut to lit a medium-sized hat and sparsely sprinkled with black moire spots that shine when the sun strikes them. A narrow moire ribbon borders tho veil that as a whole is smart and extremely trying to the ees. Oilier recent styles are of chiffon in tau, blue an I black, with a deep selvedge an I -plain sur face. For driving and visiting in the country fashionable women are rath-r fond of cream tulles and nets that are bo odious when worn on tho streets. Some of these light veils are really very charming, having tno tine hilk surface overlaid with delicately wrought lace figures aula deep bor der of rich needlework. Blak chifloa has now almost displace 1 the poplar nun's veiling for mourning use. Chi cago Record. FASHION NOTES. Sterling gold and silver slipper tips are made to fit any ordinary slipper." Their only recommendation is novelty. The use of laces this season is un limited. A silk dust cloak importe I from Paris has a full collar jtte of de:p lace. Ivy ismuch in vogue tins year. Bon nets are made entirely of ivy, with lit tle tnfta of rose-pink roses, in front and back. Yokes ofV-shaped pieces of moire ribbon and insertion aro finisbed around with a ruflle of t-moroidcred chiffon. Pinhead dotted Swiss in pure white shades is trimmed with dep yelbw lace and is quit effective as well as distinctly modish. 4 Thore ia a return to tho obi fashioned bridal wrtath of orang blossom. Several fashionable brides across the water and in NV Yor have lately worn them. Fashion dictates that silver sleeve links and studs should be w.,rn with colored and gold with linen shirt waist. Also, that the belt buckle, b it jeweled, silver, or gold, ah o 11 1 be of oval sbaje. A pretty ides for a gray crpoa ?os is a cape of primrov? moire, cut s j lare across the back, elongate 1 in fr t, and turned down the sho id ler after tite fashion of Mary Ht ur:, a- 1 trimmed on the e ie w;th U?-.

Haberlandt has calculated that a field of rye, during its growth aud de. velopment, absorbs 3J4 tons of water per acre ; oats repiir I70 ton", aud wheat The water, sucked or pumped up by the root from tha soil, traverses the tissues of the plant, depositing nutriment therein, iand finally is evaporated by tho leaves. This process is called transpiration. As the soil furnishes tin supply tf water, that supply, in order that tho plant ran develop itself normally, ought) to equal at least the volume' of waiter, given off by tho leaves. Should this equilibrium b broken, the leaves droop, become dried aud fall. Not only does the plant languish from an insufficient supply of water, but the energy of its green matter cells decreases. The assimilation of carbon ceases, and the growth of tha plant is stopped. It is the same thing in rearing stock. If badly fed the animal will bo stunted. The transpiration. of tho plant is ten times greater in presenco of full light than in obscurity, und during cloudy weather tho transpira tion is less by one-half than under the direct action of tho solar rays. Judge, then, of the buffering of vege tation when rain is absent, and tho 6ky clear and the Muulightutinuous. The only resource's the plant ha, in the absence of an artificial supply - of water by irrigation, is to send its roots tapering deep into Cfi: aoil. Deherain has traced the, rootlets of wheat t a depth of eighty inches in the noil. The botanist Wolkeus corroborated these views still more forcibly 111 tho course of his voyag in Egypt and Arabia. One of the silent character, ieticK of the roots of plants iu tho desert js their enormous length. Plants whose height above the sur-' face of the, soil never exeels Uu length of tho hand have the root at the neck as thick as the thumb, taj erin? to the volume of the little fin gcr at the depth of two yards. It is to their vast descending root lets that the plants of the desert owe their exigence, and are able to fight the burning heat, which would cause a branch of the ame plant, if de tached, to wither away iti the cotus of five minutes. .
