THE OLDEST CONTINENT.

A contributor TO the ST. Louis Post

the Oldest land in existence is In Mis-

he continues.

The completion Of the great works IN
the Nile valley at Asouan and Assiout,
by which the waters OF the river may
be confined for purposes OF irrigation
during the dry season, signalizes an
important engineering achievement,
and an epoch In the economic history
of Egypt. 1t is in such performances
that the British administration OF de-
tendencies is seen at its best. The rul-
ers OF Egypt treat the country as If 1t
were a commercial and political asset,
TO be developed financially on the most
modern and scientific principles Yet,
with all this material improvement in
Egyptian investments, II remains true
that the native people OF Egypt have
not gained a particle In the power OF
self-government under this foreign des-
potlsm.

laws will be adopted, and other work
of the organization completed.
The cause for the former association
being discontinued was that it was
so organized that persons other than
firemen could be members, and there
was dssa abstraction relative to the
manner in which benefits were drawn
by such persons. All causes for such
complaints are absent from the pres
ent organization, and its promoters
predict that it will be prosperous and
satisfactory.
The rules require that members pay
81 when admitted, and dues amounting
to 81 annually. They can draw sick
benefits at the rate of So a week, and
$T5 will be allowed for funeral ex-
peDses.
This association is entirely separate
from the Firemen's Pension Fund.

London, June "a Some of the
prncely arrivals from the far East for
the coronation are curious and inter
esting.. There has arrived in London
the envoy from far Corea--that criti-
cal bit of country which lies at the
northeast of Asia, Mt the juncture of
the spheres of influence Of. Russia,
China and Japan.
His highness VI Chat Kak, Prince
Of, the province of Eui Yang, Is Il
cousin of the Emperor of Corea. He
is employed on the civil side of the
government, and is a sort of chamber
lain in the royal household. Young
In years--he is about 30-he has the
traditional wisdom of the Orient, and
he Is utilizing his visit to King Ed
ward for the purpose of seeing as
much as he can of the world.
The Prince left Corea about two
months ago, accompanied by three
native secretaries who speak English,
and by Mr.. GofIe the British Consul
General in the country. He looks like
a Japanese-sh yellow, amiable and
clean shaven.
The party crossed the Pacific to
San Francisco, and went across Can
ado to Quebec, whence they set sail
for Liverpool, Both oceans were
pacific, and his highness, who had
never left his country before, found
ho .,n,. N
thing as it had been described. At
Euston the Prince was met by the
Kings master of ceremonies and
royal carriages drove him and his suite
to the Westminster Palace hotel.
There, an hour or so later, two of
his secretaries sat to receive callers
They were very correctly attired in
European costume, with frock coats
and they behaved as if they had been
receiving Englishmen in English hotels
every day of their lives. Yet this toul
is the first occasion on which they
have left Corea.
Where did learn my EnglishY 2

Prince speak these tongues? No; why
should he? He speaks only Corean
quite enough for u Prince!"
And so the little gentleman ratified
on, speaking immeasurably bette
English that most Englishmen, proud
of their accomplishments, speal
French. He was interested in wha

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
remedies. Deafness Is caused
by an inflamcd condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Bustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
restored TO Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition OF the mucous
