Louis, says the Post Dispatch.
He receives daily one Of the most
interesting end curious newspa-
pers that is published anywhere
in the world. 1t is the Alexan.
drian daily paper called Al.Ahran
or the Pyramid.
1t is q strange looking paper Of
four pages, filed with characters
which remind one Of the short:
hand hieroglyhpics, but they are
more compact and smaller. You
read from right to left, and begin
at what would be the back of an
American newspaper.
The character Of the paper is
very surprising to one unacquaint
ed with the people of the country
where it is printed. 1t is not at
all the foolish, stupid sheet that
one would suspect TO find the easy
going sons of Egypt publishing;
but a live, wldeawake paper that
manlfests good deal of enterprise.
Mr.. Hamul went over one copy
OF it and told the substance of the
different articles that were PRINT.

dispatches from Austria, Tun;s,
Servia: Turkey and Vienna on the
state OF politics in those places,
then there were telegraphic re-
ports from the different states of
Egypt, just as American papers
get them from the states Of the
Union.
There was a letter from "our
special correspondent" at Cairo
about the news there, and then
came q column Of editorial COM
ment on the subjects of interest in
Egypt, but it was evident that the
deadly paragrapher had not made
his way into the land of the Nile.
Then there were two columns
of"local news about Alexandria;

The True Doctrine.

BY land"-as used by Henry George
and political economists generally-is
meant unimproved land, the
unimproved resources of nature which
were created by noman, but which are Of
right the common heritage of the race.
This is the LAND in which Henry
George, Herbert Spencer, and others
deny the right of private property. The
value to land which is added by labor is
of right the private property of him who
creates it, and of this right Henry
George is one of the strongest defenders
and this improved value created by
labor he would exempt from taxation
wholly. putting the whole burden on the
unimproved or ground rent values. In
other words, he who holds special
privilege in tho resources of nature,
should pay in taxes to the government,
rs the trustees of the community, a fair
price for this special privilege. Grand

Weak Men and weak women.

Men and women both suffer from weak
ness and loss Of strength. Women, how
ever, suffer more than men. Men don't
have those bearing down pains, the bane of
weak woman's existence. Both, however,
have their dizzy spells, both bemoan their
loss of appetite, their lack of energy, that
feeling of WEAKNESS and constant fatigue.
Both become languid, insipid, and life to
either hardly seems worth living. Their
kidneys are weak and seem wasting away
Their lvers are inactive, their stomachs dis.
ordered, their bowels irregular. Oh! fool
ish, foolish men and women! why will you
not seek the way to health and strength.
Others as miserable as yourselves are now
in the full enjoyment of happy, joyous life
simply because they put prejudices aside and
began use of that excellent Alternative
known as Dr. John Bull S Sarsaparilla Ask

think about it. Ask your druggist for a
