Sanded Up in Egypt.

An inconvenience to travelers on Egyptian railways is being “sanded up,”. The sirocco piles the fine sand on the tracks in mounds, and no amount of energy or engineering will relieve the train until the wind dies away. “Sanded up” is about the same as being snowed up in America, with the exception that the temperature is much more satisfactory and the delay much longer. The Council of Public Health, Paris, after studying into the question of digestive powers of children, report that cod liver oil and other such fatty preparations are of disadvantage to, young children; that they impair the digestive functions and, being of no nse, are in the way. 2 The sausage is the only species of ground-hog that does not hibernate in the winter.
