inherited from the ancients. The sea-

the same then as now-high water in
September and the lowest level In

that there has been comparatively lit

ly in the last century, as I wrote you
the other day, introduced cotton and
sugar into the valley Of the Nile. and
both products have proved to be very
profitable. The delta is now a great
cotton field. Its product has doubled
during the last fifty years. There has
been similar increase in the produc-
tion Of sugar. An average crop Of cot
ton is now about 100000 bales Of 500
pounds each, which, having a fibre
nearly an inch and half long, is more
valuable than ordinary cotton and sells
for about two cents pound more than
our staple. 1t is used for the manufac-
ture Of balbriggans, stockings and 9TH
er fine articles and has become ne
cessity not only in Europe, but in the
United States. We consume in the

thousand bales Of Egyptian cotton, and
a line Of ships has been established to
carry 1t from Alexandria to Boston

Later on, but still at a very early

map, still extant, showing the wells
provided for the gold seekers between
the Red sea and the mines.
About 1000 B. C. there seems to have
been another rush of miners In search

St, Petersburg, Nov. 28.-Rassia has
accepted the invitation of the United
States to conclude an arbitration
treaty on the lines OF the American
French treaty
Although it was known that the
American government was desirous of
negotiating arbitration treaties with
all the principal powers the fact that
Russia had been approached with a
direct proposition did not leak out
until Count Lamsdor had accepted it.

My dear Mrs. Hood: How can I
thank you enough for your splendid
gift of s57.s5 collected from friends in

with sense of gratitude greater than
I can describe.
Gods people have been wonderfully
kind and the rebuilding of our dining
hall and kitchen is now assured.
Never since the Orphanage was found
ed has there been such an outpouring
of love and beneicence from our dear
people as there has been since our
fateful fourth of November. We feel
that what we thought was great ca
lgmity has been blessing. The trial
has taught US much; it will surely
improve our methods and help US to q
higher plane and it has discovered
for us multitude of devoted friends.

TIE CLIMAX OF ADSURDlTY.
Secretary to the President, Loeb
Issues an Official Statement
Denying that the Little
RooseyeIts Played
Roughly With a
Turkey.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Wm. Loeb,
Jr, as secretary to the president to-
day issued an official signed statement
denying that President Rooseyelt's
children bad cruelty treated the
Thanksgiving turkey sent to the pre-
sident by Mr.. Vose of Rhode Island.
In the statement Mr.. Loeb says:
"The presidents attention has just
been called to a news item which
contains an account of supposed NAL.
treatment by his children of the
Thanksgiving turkey which Mr.. Vose
kindly sent to the White House in ac-
cordance with his annual custom.
The article states that the children
released the turkey and chased it all
over the White House grounds, pluck
ing at it and teasing and yelling and
laughing until the bird was we'll nigh
exhausted, while the president looked
on and laughed. AS matter Of fact
the turkey was dressed when Mr..
Vose sent it and was used for
Thanksgiving dinner. There was a
bronze live turkey sent from Milwau-
kee. This turkey was never taken
out of its box, but was shipped to
Oyster Bay because of its beauty,
and is living peaceably with the rest
of the inhabitants of the barnyard.
No such incident as that recounted
has ever taken place since the presi-
dent has been in the White House and
nothing in the remotest degree resem-
bling it has ever taken place.
Secretary Loeb, after the statement
had been issued, said: "No atten-
tion would have been paid to Shis at
tack if it had been upon the president
personally, but as it has been extended
to members of his family he feels that
he ought to reply to it,
