The college orchestra seems to
promise excellent work this year. It
has now the full number of strings;
there are eight violins, six second v'o-
Inns, two violas, two 'cellos, one double
bass, two flutes, one clarinet. One or
two other wind instruments may be
added, and since the interest in the
orchestra seems to be great, Prof.
Cow hopes in time to obtain the full
complement of instruments for
small orchestra. The orchestra is
now studying Mozart's G. minor SYM

In Egypt.
Mrs. Leland Stanford, who returned
the first of September from over a
years travel in Europe, Egypt and
Palestine, was much and sadly inn
pressed by the low state, mentally,
morally and physically, in which she
found the Egyptian women. The filth
in which they lived, apparently know
ing no better, the slavish subsection
of their daily life, embittered the time
spent in Egypt, and from having had
but little interest in foreign missions,
Mrs. Stanford now feels that mission
aries alone can help these women to
raise themselves, and she has returned
converted to foreign missions, hav-
ing viewed the work done for the ma
tives. She also much admired the
work done by the government schools,
and the interest felt in America on the
part of the pupils, and was astonished
to find how much they knew about it.
