HOW EGYPT IS GOVERNED.
The Khedive Is supreme and OBJ
tanned His Power Through
Force of Arms.

The government of Egypt is under
the direction of khedive, the seventh
ruler of the dynasty of Mahomet Ali.
who was appointed governor of Egypt
in 1906 and made himself, in 1911, alb
solute master of the country by force
of arms. The control of the khedive
was gradually increased, and in 1878
he was given the privilege of conclud-
ing commercial treaties with foreign
powers and maintaining armies.
From 1879 to 1853 two comptrollers
general-appointed by France and
England-had considerable power in
directing the affairs of the country,
but in 1882, in consequence OF mill
tary rebellion, England interviewed in
behalf of the khedive, and, as this in
PREVENTION was not Joined by France,
the joint control was abolished and
a decree signed by the khedive giving
to England the right to appoint an
English financial adviser, without
whose concurrence no financial deci-
sion can be taken, and since that time
an English officer has cooperated in
the direction of financial affairs in
Egypt A number of representative
institutions, including a legislative
council and general assembly, were
created by the khedive in 1888, and the
legislative council, which is a consulta-
tive body of 80 members, II of whom
are nominated by the government,
meets once a month to examine the
budget, and may propose laws, but
cannot initiate legislation.

Railroad Killed None.

Statistics recently issued by the
British board of trade show that dur
ing the last year not single passen-
ger has been killed in railroad ac-
ident in Great Britain or Ireland.
This is the first time since railroads
were established in Great Britain
that no fatal accident to passenger
has occurred during a year. More
over, the number Of railroad en-
ployes who were killed and wounded
during the last year was much less
than curing preceding years, the
number of killed being Only II and
of wounded 100. The number of pas
sengers wounded during the same
time was 400.

AN INGENIOUS ARTIFICE.
Clever Scheme of a Bicycle Dealer for
ObtaininE Measurements for
a Saddle.

An elderly bicycle rider went to the
establishment of a cycle dealer one
day and said to the proprietor: Il
have tried all sorts of saddles and
never found one that l could ride on
comfortably. If you can make one
that will fit me i will give you $25
for it,"
"Come again in about an hour" said
the dealer, after moments thought.
At the expiration of that time the
customer came again. "Sit down"
said the dealer, pointing to chair
"and tell me what kind of saddle you
think you would like"
That's for you to devise" replied
the other. 81 have no suggestions to
make"
"Well, I'll do the best can for you,
and take the risk" rejoined the deal
err, and after few moments of desul-
tory conversation the caller took his
leave.
A day or two passed, says Youths
Companion, and new saddle was sent
to his address. About a week later
he came again. "Here's your $25," he
said. "The saddle fits me perfectly.
Would you mind telling me how you
managed it?"
simplest thing in the world" re-
piled the dealer. "Do you remember
my asking you to sit down in that
chair when you were here last"
Eyes"
"Well, on that chair seat were two
sheets of paper, with a sheet of car
bon paper between them. When you
sat down you left the impression of
your ischiatic tuberosities,' as they
are called, or lower-hip-bones, on the
white paper. 1t was easy to make a
saddle to conform to the location Of
those bones, and"

which would undoubtedly be the min

The residents OF Manila, however.
are naturally influenced by the pro-
longed Instruction. and mistrust the
course OF the provinces. They do not
see and therefore do not appreciate
the gradual increase in the efficiency
OF the provincial constabulary. which
now numbers 5000 men. and which Is
steadily relieving the army OF large
amount OF work.
The municipal police are also per-
forming most useful work and the
5000 native troops who are now in the
field are daily becoming more efficient
an their duties.
Furthermore. many OF the natives
fail to appreciate the conditions other
than military.
