An Egyptian Breakfast.

LADY Brassey. In Good Nords.l
We went TO breakfast with the Princess
Mansour, the Khedlye's sister. The meal
was OF most elaborate description, con-
sistipg OF many courses, and, partaklng
more Of the character OF dinner than OF q
breakfast, or rather, dtje,ner. The dining
room was luxuriously furnished. In the
centre was large circular velvet carpet,
embroidered with gold, on which stood
an octangular table, covered with an
embroidered velvet clota, on which
the breakfast service, including uap-
kins worked with gold thread, was ar
ranged In The European fashion, a vacant
space being left In the middle for the
silver pidtecux containing the success
siye courses. As affording some idea OF
the resources OF Cairepe culinary art, it
may perhaps be mentioned that we were
offered In the following order. soup, roast
turkey, calves head stuffed with force
meat, pillan OF rice and ralsins, micaroni
cheese, kabobs OF mutton on skewers, as
paragus dPhuils, pancakes, cream rice tart,
pastry and Jam, milk Of almonds In bowl,
with pistschio nuts, eaten with tortoise
shell spoons, and cheese. followed by des-
sert, with fees and little cakes, and ending
with coffee. which was served In another
room. On the liable itself were several va.

Money Pound by y Mississippian.
Memphis (Tenn.) Avalanche.l

The people down In Pamela county,
Miss, are considerably exercised over the
story OF remarkable " find" Of money.
Common report Is that Il. d. Durrett, an
old-time resident in that section, while out
on coon-huntlng expedition, found
large sum OF gold in a hollow tree. The
amount, according to one report, was $780,
600, and according TO another $4,000. tits
said that the lucky finder has not made pub
lie admission OF the fact, but the rumor
has gained general credeDce, and some say
that he has acknowledged TO his intimate
friends that he found considerable sum
in gold coin. Some ten or twelve years ago
Mir. F. NJ. Gilchrist, It Is said, found quite
a sum OF money while tearing down an old
building near the place where Durrett fell
into his fortune. The money, IL is thought.
was bid away many years ago, either by an
old man named Sattenwhite, who was re-
garded as miser by his neighbors, or else
by man named Hunt, who some years ago
moved from Pamela county TO Southern
Mississippi, and who is still living, although
in demented state. Whatever may be
the facts in regard TO the matter, the report
causes no end Of gossip in all circles OF
Pamela county.

EAST GREENLAND.
An Important Exploration TO be Made This
simmer

summer.
Lieutenant Holm. of the Danish navy,
who has for some years been surveying the
West Greenland coast, will endeavor this
summer to extend the exploration Of the
eastern shore. He intends TO take party
north from Cape Farewell in boats, and
will try to connect the northern limit OF
Graah's discoveries with the most southern
point reached by Scoresby.
While West Greenland is better known
TO us than any other Arctic coast-line, the
great part OF the east shore Is entirely un-
known. An impenetrable ice-barrier from
the Siberian sea, often one hundred miles
wide, piles up against the eastern shores
Of Spitzbergen and Greenland. The out
line OF East Spitzbergen has only recently
been satisfactorily determined, though
every cape and ford Of the west coast was
known TO geograpbers and whslers over
two hundred years ago.
Among all the expensive expeditions to
East Greenland only two ever reached the
coast. Danish kings have sent out eight
parties, in the belief that one oi the Nor
man colonies settled on the east coast eight
hundred years ago, and that evidences Of
their occupancy might be discovered.
These expeditions were bafiled by the ice.
But Scoresbv. in 1922, and Holloway, In
1869, pushed through the ice-floes and out
lined the coast for over four hundred miles
north Of latitude 10 degrees, and Captain
Graah, in 1929, skirted the shOre-ice In a
small boat, travelling over three hundred
miles north Of Cape Farewell.
One OF the chief aims OF Lieutenant Holm
will be TO add TO our scanty knowledge OF
the seacoast Inhabitants, whom the iee-bar-
rier has until recently isolated. Scoresby
and Holloway saw no human beings, but
Graah found 500 Esquimsux scattered along
200 miles south OF latitude So. Lieutenant
Holm, in his preliminary expedition last
year, met sixty natives on their way to The
west coast TO sell bear and sealskins ut
Julianshaab. Among them were men who
said they lived five days beyond the most
nolthern settlement found by Graah, and
that IN their winter journeys they often
met people who lived still farther north.
These natives were making their first trip
TO Danish Greenland.
II is believed that their settlement, kela'
lulalik, Is north OF latitude 90, and geo.
graphers infer from their statements that
the whole line of coast from latitude $40 to
100 is to some extent inhabited. All re-
ports agree that the East Greenlanders dif-
fer much from the west-coast Esqu,maux.
Many OF them are taller, wear black boards,
and have Caucasian cast OF features.
These peculiarities are most noteworthy IN
those who live farthest north.-Neu York

FAST TRAVEL.
What Will BE the Ultimate Speed !-1he
Old Way and the New.

What VIII BE the Ultimate Speed ?-1he
Old Way and the New.
The modern traveller has no time To- tar
~ by the way. He would be no more con-
tented with the average ocean or IA ilrJad
speed OF twenty. no, OF only ten years ECO.
than the traveller OF that earlier period
would have been with the numbering old
mail coach OF his not remote predecessor.
The old Cunarders were the fast ocean lly-
ers OF only ten years ago, and nine days
was then accounted a remarkably rapid
voyage, but while ten days between sight
OF land was the usual passage, twelve and
even fourteen days was not uncommon for
a passenger TO be at sea even though he
sailed in one Of the Cunard racers. The
racers Of that line OF the present time are
getting up speed until before the present
summer shall be over the time will pos
sibly be reduced to six days. As ii Is, one
may row breakfast In Queenstown on one
sunday and in New York, or rice uCrSd,
the next. But while time and space are
being thus annihilated on the water, even
greater results In the same direction are
being accomplished on the land. There
are few Pbiladelphians OF the pres.
ent generation who do not still look
back with amazed regret at the
time they lost, only q few yeirs ago,
in making the short journey between the
two principal cities OF the Union ria the
old Camden and Amboy route. The near
est station was at Kensington, the other
