 zine.
 I fear geographies and picture books have half-spoiled the pyramids for many of us by making them seem commonplace just as ehildren's readers have7 spoiled some good. English poetry Then Mark Twain has set the kashiOn of being fun ny about these venerable piles, and,- be- tween the. two influences. first impress sions are apt to be disturbed.
 There are tourists who arrive with a hippant Hello, Cheops. old boy!' There are others who give only tolerant inter est. as if they had seen it all before. Yet many of both classes go away finally in reverent silence, wishing people had pyramids. For one thing, take the mat ter of dust and heat, in which the pie ture-book makers have surely misled us, for do they. not represent the pyramids as standing out on burning waste, with only a naked palm tree every mile or SO to keep the glare of, and individuals in queer hats gasping about, half-smoth- cred in the sand-storms?
 As matter of fact, the seven-mile drive from Cairo to CheOps comes on as pleasantly as a carriage ride out Of Long Branch, and is over as good road. The whole avenue furthermore, Is shaded by lines of acalcias not a whit less in- vitIng than those of the famous Bois de Boulogne. and so cool a breeze blows down them that you scarcely feel the sun.

We very much regret the omission of the U. D. c. columns for the two Sab baths past. Unavoidable circumstances with the managers of The Advertiser caused this omission the first week, in the Christmas issue. The editors expect ed this copy to appear the next week. and was unaware of its appearance on the 18th, until too late to send in new material. For the sake of those who take the Sundays Advertiser alone, we promise the U. D. c. columns will appear hereafter only in the Sundays paper.

This tremendous eXpanse of terri

At the increased rate of only five or
