Among the most picturesque of
tradespeople in the East are the
turquois merchants of Egypt Scores
of these quaint old characters are to
be found at Cairo. The stock of a
single merchant is frequently of great
value, yet he is content to display it
much the same as an Italian in an
American city displays his fruit. The
stones are laid out in little piles and
parcels on little stand, which may be
carried from place to place.

WAR IN THE FAR EAST.

The. diplomatic tension between Eng
land and Russia has become much greater
through the report of Admiral Rojest-
vensky, which puzzles officials OF both
countries. 1t is believed that only the
failure Of France to indicate its position
in case Of war has prevented an outbreak
of hostilities.
Reports show that the Russian squadron
fired on at least two merchant vessels in
the course of their voyage through the
North Sea and the English Channel. and it
is reported that another steamer was seen
10 sink shortly after they had passed.
British warships at Gibraltar are cleared
as IL for action, and the greatest activity
is observed. A division of the Mediter-
ranean Squadron is expected to arrive
there to-day and others are following.
The armies in Manchuria renew their
activity to limited extent but general
lighting has not yet been resumed.

The younger element composing the In.

feels confident that that body, before its
adjournment, will adopt measures paving
the way for the union with not only the
Dutch Reformed Church, which has its
stronghold In the East, but also with the
Presbyterian Church.
They say that while 1t may not be op-
perfume, It is evident that there is a
strong sentiment in favor of a reunion
Of al the Presbyterian and Reformed de-
nominations and the more observing
among them are of the opinion that this
turn In the religious tide will take place
at no distant date.
The question will be considered in the
nature Of an overture to the General
Synod. which will meet in Allentown. Pa
next May. The General Assembly of the

branches in this country. will meet a,
