WOMEN IN EGYPT.
Their Condition Is Being Improved
Through the Education Of
the Girls.

Woman's position in the Egyptian
capital is materially benefited by the
movement looking toward the educa-
ton of native girls. Twenty years ago
native ladies regarded education as the
learning of sufficient French or Italian
10 read novels or follow the plot of the
opera. The last few years has devel-
oped a desire among the upper-class
women to have their dau. hters educat-
ed with as much care az boys are, and
an important adjunct to the household,
consequently, is the European gov
ernesss, most often English. A sister of
the khedive, Princess K1adija,. is an
active agent in improving the educa'
tional status of poor girls
Most women visitors - Cairo are
curious to see the interior of a harem.
But this, as Europeans understand it,
no longer exists in Egypt. Every native
house, however, has it's harem division,
set apart for women, as the salamlk
is for men-nothing more. In this de-
partment reside the wife or wives and
children of the master, with the addi-
ton, perhaps, of his mother. In this
case, her rule is probably absolute. 1t
is she who chooses instructresses for the
children, orders the affairs of the
household, and even pregcribes the fab
RIGS, fashions and ornaments of the
women, who are simply the wives Of
his eXcellency the pasha. 1t is moth
er-in-law rule, literally. The windows
of the harem usually overlook a court
yard or rear street, and are screened
with mushrabeah lattiCes, pene!rable
only by the gaze of person within.
To minister to the wants of the wom-
ems division, a small army of serv-
ants-shiny black SLAVES" from Nubia
and Berber, and possibly a fair Circas-
sian or two, imported from Constan-
tinOple-is essential. SLAVERY" of this
sort is scarcely bondage. 1t is the law
of Egypt thaE manumission can be had
for the asking, with little circunlocu-
ton or delay. These servitors are
kindly treated, value their home, and
shrink from any movement toward le-
gal freedom. Except to the master aud
sons of the house, the harem is closed
to all men, but women friends come and
go freely. The tall, high-cheek-boned
black men guarding the entrance to the
harem, in these progressive days in
Egypt possessing no suggestion of the
houri scene of the stage, are trained
from childhood to keep unauthorized
persons from intruding and have high
ly developed aversion to sight-seers.--

The Church Bells In n Tree.

Rather more than 20 years ago the
church in Therfeld, Herts, was re-
built; altogether including the re-
building of the chancel, for which the
rector was responsible, a sum of $27, 425
was spent Oh the work. There were
not, however, sufficient funds to COM
plete the rebuilding, and the upper
portion of the tower and the porch re-
main unfinished to the present time,
about $4,000 being required for COM
pletion. As there was no belfry in
which to place the bells, one was hung
on the brancn of a large walnut tree
in the rectory. close, adjoining the
churhcyard. There it does it's duty,
calling the people of Therfeld to
church, and patiently waiting for the
time when, through the iberality of
friends, it may be removed to belfry
where it will join with five old COM
panions (now stored away in the
church) in a merry peal on their restor-
alton to their proper home.-London

Hints for MarriagenbIe Girls.

Do not choose an opposite" You will
be opposite enough in time.
Either put down your foot on his
cigar before marriage or make up your
mind to keep quiet about it afterward.
Learn to cook and sew, and above
all things, to learn to look sweet and
keep still when you feel mad enough
to take the roof off.
See and hear all the plays, operas and
concerts you can during the engage
ment; bad weather is apt to interfere
after marriage.
Take your mothers advice on the
question OF a husband, provided she
took her mothers.
Don't ask your brother about the per-
sonal habits OF a sutton; he can't tell
you enough to matter without giving
himself away, and he won't do that.
Do not be CTended when his sister
wonders what any woman of taste can
see in him to admire. just remember

One of the closest friends of Baron
Rothschild of Paris was Carolus Du-
ran, the artist. During the entire course
of a certain large dinner party the great
fnancier noted that the painter kept
looking at him with a most intent and
peculiar expression. After the coffee
and cigars the baron drew his friend
aside and said: my dear fellow, pray
tell me why you have stared at me so
peculiarly this EVENING""
"I'Il tell you with pleasure an
swered Duran; 81 am painting beggar
for the salon, and have looked all over
Paris for a suitable head to draw from,
I've finally found it. Yours is the ideal"
Rothschild laughed heartily and
promised to sit for his friend in suit
able attire on the following day.
During the progress of the sitting a
young artist, one Of Duran's pupils,
came into the room. Naturally he had

Some six months after this occurrence

came . muffied cry, followed by &n
oath and the sound of a struggle.
Tom cast one quick look about him.
No one was in sight and the next in
slant he had pulled off his gloves and
darted up the passageway at full speed.
The darkness was intense for short
distance, but after a few yards he
emerged into a small open space in the
midst of which the three men were
writing and twisting in desperate
struggles. Tom was unable to distin-
guish one from another, but as he
reached the spot one man tore himself
free and shouted:
Help! Policel Stand back or I'll
shoot"
The rest Of his threat was drowned
by heavy blow from O blackjack,
which knocked the weapon from his
hand.
"Stop!" cried Tom, springing to-
ward the assailant.
He was too late, for a second blow
stretched the stranger senseless and
bleeding on the snow, and with an angry
snarl the robber turned just as Toms
right fist shot out with tremendous
force.
Down went the man like a stricken
OK and Tom grappled with the other
with a shout of triumph. His blood was
up, and, lifting his smaller opponent
bodily from the ground. he shock him
as mastiff would terrier.
Hands off" painted the helpless
man, fercely. Course you, what are
you trying to do?'
He was not long in doubt, for Tom
hurled him against the side of stone
| building with such force that he fell in
an inert heap and lay motionless.
Tom turned to see what had become
of the taller man, but at that instant he
felt a sharp pain in his side and, strong
hand seized him by the throat and bent
him backwards, while q hoarse voice
Kissed in his ear:
Take that FOR your pains, you med
ding fool"
With a desperate effort he twisted
| himself free from his assailant. spring
ing aside barely IN time TO escape an
| other lunge of the murderous knife he
had just felt.
Again the fellow Iunged viciously at
him, but Tom caught his wrist, and a
desperate struggle ensued. Although
much the stronger man, Tom found it
no easy task to avoid the blade, and the
| two swayed back and forth over the
snow, the man trying to free his hand
for decisive stroke, and Tom bending
all his efforts to prevent it. Soon, how
ever, his iron grip began TO tell, and be
felt his enemy's muscles relax. Putting
all his strength into a supreme effort,
he wrenched the knife free, eXclaim-
ing:
I've got you now, you murderer, and
I don't leave you till you are behind the
| bars!"
But ever in the moment of his victory
he felt cold ring of steel pressed
against his ear. and these ominous
words sounded behind him:
Hold up your hands, mister, OF
you're dead man! Quick, say, or I'll
shoot"
1t was a moment of fearful peril.
There was murder in the mans tones,
and Tom felt it. He released his grasp
slowly. and the larger man pushed him
suddenly backward, crying:
'Shoot him, you idiot"
His action saved Toms life, for the
other man pressed the trigger at the
