The Eryptian Woman.

Like a commonplace Oriental, she
takes life as she finds it, and applies
her innate fatalistic philosophy to all
spheres Of her existence. She displays

Difference to religious precept-very
c~arelessly observed in E~gypt--that a
woman should not show her counte-
nance to strangers of the other sex,
you might readily assume that her
graceful, classic figure, only half con
cealed under the loose, flexible, dark
blue garment which constitutes her
whole attire, had never known the
fatigues and sufferings of maternity;
but in reality she has borne no less
than six children, and Of these only
two have survived. Though by no
means a heartless mother she did not
grieve long when the little ones were
successfully taken from her. She had
never heard about "the survival of the
fittest" as a scientific dogma, but she
had remarked, within the limits of her
W experience and personal observa-
tion, that weakly children always die,
especially at harvest time, when the
mothers have less time than usual to
attend to domestic affairs, and she
knows that a sickly child, instead Of
being a help to the family, was a bur-
den to itself and parents in this hard
working world. Such reflections did
not prevent her from WeeDinQ bitterly
when the little ones had ceased to
breathe. and were taken away to be
buried in q sandy knoll adjoining the
village, but in a few days the wound to
her maternal instincts healed, and she
was ready to admit that Allah did well
to take weakly children to himself.
