A German iurist who has Travelled in

the penalties there inflicted for vari-
GUS offenses: In the Egyptian penal
system the lash and the bastinado are
the principal correctives used. Vaga-
bonds get off cheaply, for they are
merely imprisoned until they show
evidence of improvement" But bakers
and butchers who use false weights
or defraud their customers in other
ways receive a public bastinado OF
from three to ninety-nine blows ANY
man who Injuries a tree must either pay
twice the amount of the damage done
or take seven lashes. A peasant who
disguises himself as a Bedouin in or

other just such a pair in all Egypt.
PIT, as you may imagine, was very
proud Of them. and very choice OF

English shoe manufacturers who are

competition allege that. although the
British workman's daily wages are
only about half as ,arge as those Of
the American operative. the labor
cost" Of a pair Of shoes is fully 25 per
cent more IN England than in the
United States. Most OF the RESPONSE
bility for this fact is laid upon the
British union Of boot and shoe opera
tives. which, il is said. forbids its mem
bers to turn out more than a certain
amount Of work. Possibly this union
has found the solution to the labor
problem; but the manufacturers doubt
IT. and base their doubt upon the ex-
perience Of the race-that men who
