EducatlOn ila Egypt.

Education is making great strides in
Egypt and the natives are beginning
to show appreciation Of the advantages
of the reorganized government schools.
In 1887 there were only twelve
schools under the minister Of public
instruction. with an attendance OF
1919 pupils, of whom only so per cent
paid fees. and the total receipts were
$50 Last year the number of
these schools throughout the country,
as far south rs Assuan. open to all
races and creeds. was forty-seven; the
attendance was 1907, OF whom 50 per
cent were paying pupils. and the re-
ceipts reached nearly eco, 900. The
increase is significant as education is
not compulsory. 1t is a rule, however.
that all pupils must learn either Eng
lish or French, and it is significant that
whereas in 1899 only IA per cent of
them selected English, in 1890 the
proportion rose to % per cent.

TACKLED BY A CAT.
An Old York State Hunter Meets With
Surprise.

An Old York State Hunter Meets with
q Surprise.
George Maben, of Big Indian in the
Catskills. had a rough experience with
a wildcat In the mountains recently.
writes a Kingston correspondent Of
the New York Sun. Maben for several
years has tracked bears. wildcats. and
other animals. One day he started
out for hunt with William Hall. an
old-time hunter OF Potter county,
Pennsylvania, who had been trying his
luck in the Catskills. They were &C.
companied by hound owned by Hall.
After a tramp through the snow of
several hours the dog indicated that
he had discovered some animal in Il
hole in ledge Of rocks. Maben who
was some distance ahead Of Hall. hur-
ried to the dog and, dropping on his
knees, peered into the hole. In an
instant something fell upon his back
with heavy thud. A terrific howl
soon convinced him that he was in the
clutches OF a wildcat. With the ami
mails claws firmly imbedded in his
clothes Maben rolled over and over in
the snow, guarding his face with his
arms as much as possible. In the
meantime the dog began a series OF
attacks upon the cat, and in his rage
frequently seized upon the limbs OF
Maben instead of the animal. The
fight between the dog and cat was a
savage one, but the former managed
to pull the cat off OF Maben, and his
companion who had fastened to assist,
speedily laid the animal low with a
we'll directed shot Maoen, who was
found to be badly hurt, was assisted to
tho nearest residence and 3 physician
summoned. There were two ugly
wounds in Mabcn's shoulder and neck,
and his side was badly lacerated. The
injured hunter is now confined to his
bed. The cat weighed thirty-sev er
pounds, and it's hide is now on e&hibi.

making no attempt to awake him.
When his benefactOr's footsteps died
away the urchin started up to examine
the coin, spat upon it for luck and
stored it away.
The rumble OF a downcoming train
caused him to prick up his ears and
fall back again into his somnolent atti-
tude. A certain infantile grace peeped
forth from his smudgy face rs it lay
upturned, partially revealed by the
Pickering glare of the gas. His papers
dangled carelessly under his left arm
that hung Imply and detected like by
his side.
1t was an effective pose in its pathos.

He gallantly arose at once to the

transferred therefrom quite a little

Sympathy seemed contagious.
