Having obtained the agency OF

ion of some of our best people as
to its merits. We have been
using for the last 3 months the

cleans the clothes more rapidly
and more thoroughly and Is in
the end cheaper than any other

our assertions.

The Women of Egypt.

They are not allowed to go out Of
doors as We are, and many Of them
never get beyond the walls of their
houses. The COWS sleep in the same
huts with the people. These huts are
made Of mud without windows, and
the doors so small that the wonder is
how the people get in. They do not
wash their babies till they are year
old, because it is considered unlucky to
do so. They rarely comb their hair
from month to month. Their chief
meal is at sunset; the rest Of the time
they eat at piece of bread when they
are hungry. They never use plates or
knives or forks. ALI sit around the ia
BILE on the floor. Bread is their daily
food and each family makes for itself,
as it is kind of disgrace to buy "street
bread" The women clean the corn
and carry it on their heads to mill. 1t
is made into thin, small cakes, stuck
against the side of an oven, and baked
in less than a minute. A hundred loaves
are not too many for family of four
in week. Travellers are usually ex-
pected to eat three loaves apiece. They
make butter In a strange way. A goat
skin half filled with milk is hung on a
peg. and then a woman. taking hold of
