a well dressed man needs to give at
tention to three details of his dress-his
hat, his necktie and his shoes. He ought
to be particular about his gloves too.
The necktie is the all important. A new
philosopher of clothes insists that every
work of art demands point of rest-a
pivotal spot from which all the rest of
the composition derives its significance.
That point of rest he locates in the neck
tie. 1t is poor economy, this philosopher
claims, to wear anything but the best
neckties, no matter how expensive these
may be. If it is cheap and shabby the
entire wardrobe takes on that aspect. If
it is rich and carefully disposed, even if
the other garments are mediocre. it gives
the impression Of care and richness. SO
look to your necktie. Horatio.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

us in the early morning Of our
last cay in Assouan on an eXcur-
sion to the beautiful and sacred
Island OF Philae. 1t is a ride OF
six miles. and we go out through
the granite quarries and among
rocky and sandy desolation, with
out the presence of green thing
all the way, to have the fair
vision of a little Philae. the pearl
of Egypt. as Baedeker calls it,
burst at last upon our vision, after
a gallop Of an hour and quar-
ter. You are surprised at its d.
minutiveness. The island is scarce
ly $50 yards across and only
about three times as long. But
its ancient sacredness as a shrine
for pious pilgrims from all parts
Of Egypt and from lands far be-
You'd her borders was in the in
verse ratio of its size. The island
was dedicated to Isis, and its ruins
embrace three temples, one large
and one small (the small one being
known as "Pharaohs
Bed'). both erected in honor of
Isis. and chapel to Hathor, the
cow-headed goddess, whose wor-
ship was closely associated with
that of Isis. The island is "banded
all around by an artificial wall" and
completely covered with ruins.
We look with rapture upon the
long and imposing colonnade, and

Upper Egypt. 1t seems strange
to say up" when you are travel
ing South; yet that is correct, fol
the Nile flows nearly due North,
and it is at least generally supposed
that water runs down hill. Here
we are at Assouan, the Southern
boundary of Egypt. and the end
of our southwark journey. Our
steamer could not quite make the
city, owing to low water, and hav-
ing run aground in the effort, it
dropped down and landed mile
below. Assouan has mixed pop
ulation of 1000 and some very
interesting bazaars. Being on the
route from Central Africa to
Cairo, you see many things offered
for sale here which are new and
strange, as for example leopard
skins. stuffed crocodiles, spears,
battle axes, swords, daggers, canes
made Of rhinocerous and hippot-
anus hides, ostrich feathers, os.
trich eggs. bead necklaces. bead
aprons and so on. Beyond the
bazaars there is nothing OF
special interest save the quarries;
but they are indeed noteworthy.
From Assouan came all the i'm
mense granite building blocks and
sarcophagi and oblisks and statues
which fill Egypt and which have
gone far beyond into other lands.
