The throne of the khetlive, yet 1t is no longer considered indispensable, and when at the time of the accession of Abbas II. the sultan purposely delayed it's issue, with the object of forcing him to submit to conditions calculated to im- pair the autonomy of Egypt, Lord Cromer caused the sublime porte to be informed through the British embassy at Constantinople that unless the firman was sent at once Abbas would be estab- lished on his fathers throne without it, which, of course, led to it's prompt dis patch.
 These complicated relations between Egypt and Turkey are rendered still more intricate by the fact that the land of the Nile has been occupied by British troops ever since the bombardment of Alexandria in 1882, and that Egypt though not de jure, is, nevertheless, de facto, subject to the protectorate of Eng land which, among other advantages, possesses this-that it serves to shield Ahbas from the oppression on the part of the sultan and from the badgering and persecution of the foreign powers which constituted so obnoxious a feature of the reign of his grandfather.

 Enforced.

A simple, honest, devout people known as Inspirationists are to be found in Iowa At a most picturesque and productive spot on the Iowa river, not many miles from Iowa City, five villages of these people thrive under the care- ful leadership of the 80 elders of the community, Everything is held in conn mon. There is one store in each village, from which supplies are obtained and everything used in the community is made or raised there. There are conn mon kitchens at which all eat the sim pie but wholesome fare provided, they salute each other as brother and sister and practice the Christian graces. While the home is as private as anywhere in America, there'is com mon interest which draws them together as one great family. They believe that religion should be of the heart and not in the outward show, and wear the sim pie apparel of old Germany, from which country the sect came in 1842.
 Driven out by persecution, theN came to America under the leadership of Christian Metz. George Weber, William Noe and Gottlieb Alderman. They first went to Buffalo and soon secured part of the reservation vacated by the Seneca

Indians, where they built their first vil- lage and called it Ebenezer. More than 800 followers came over in the course of the next year or two. and being an- noyed by the crowding of population all about them, they decided to move. The site of their present location was selected by the sagacious leaders, and the community gradually moved there, and in 1855 the first village was incor- porated and named Amana, which means Remain true"
 But the special matter of interest at this time is not the peculiarities of their belief, or their simple habits, but the fact that the younger generations grow ing up in the community are becoming restive under the restraints thrown around them. They feel the throb of the twentieth century life, and want to mingle with 1t. This is causing the elders great concern, and the older and devout members of the community are expectantly watching for the coming of a prophet who shall reveal to them solution of the problem which con- fronts them
 The last prophet was a woman-and by the way equal rights for women pre- vail, and they exercise the right of suf- frage in the elections for community and church offlcers-by the name of Barbara Heinman, a poor, ignorant girl born in Lower Elsass, in 1795. She was one of the first to be inspired after the death of Jonathan Rock. the founder of the faith. She came to this country with the little flock, and continued to proph- ecy until her death. in 1883. Since then the community has been watching for the coming of another prophet.

OUR ROYAL VISITOR
ABBAs IT., KHEDIvE OF EGYPT,
 COMING TO SEE US.
Something of the History of the Young and Interesting Moslen Ruler of a. Africa-Ascended the Throne
 at Seventeen.

A foreigner of more than passing in- terest who will visit this country this summer is Abbas IT., khedive of Egypt. He has already left Alexandria on his way to America, but is travelling by way of Constantinople, where he will. pay a state visit to the sultan, who claims suz- erinity over Egypt, and who is head of the Moslem religion, of which Abbas IT. is devout follower From Constanti- nople the khedive will journey to Paris and London, spending some little time in each of these capitals, and from Lon don will sail for New York, where he will be welcomed with considerable cere- mony by both government and world s fair officials.
 Of the various crowned heads of the old world but few are of more interest than Abbas II. Ascending the throne at the age of IF, he found waiting for him many difficult problems. His country was looked upon by France, England and Turkey as legitimate prey, and the three powers were quarreling over It's proper division. Under such conditions in the early part of his reign he made some mis- takes, due to the advantage taken of his youth and inexperience by advisers who were eager that he should sacrifice his interests to their personal ends, yet on the whole he has turned cut wonderfully well, and commands 8 greater degree of respect, both at home and abroad, than any other ruler of Egypt since Mehemet Ali, the founder of the dynasty.
 The position of the young khedive, who boasts that he has gazed upon the mid night sun from the north cape, but has never made the ascent of the pyramid, is to say the least peculiar, Theoreti- cally he is subject to the suzerainty of the sublime porte, as far as Egypt proper Is concerned, though sovereign of Nubia and of the Soudan, which, while claimed by the sultan as provinces of his empire, are nevertheless regarded by the great powers as distinct therefrom Abbas, moreover, pays annual tribute to the Ottoman government for Egypt proper, although he bears the title of liking of Egypt, conferred as an heredi- tary dignity upon his grandfather IsmaN by the porte Yet the sultan's authority does not extend over Egypt in reality
