large tract without exciting attention
and competition.
During the last year 1884 acres were
sold in 161 transactions. The largest lot
was 200 acres. The remainder averaged
less than 30 acres. The unsold available
government land now amounts to 15S, AGA
acres, and is valued at 1855 900, which
indicates the extraordinary effect of the
introduction of irrigation. The proceeds
of the 1854 acres sold during the year
1902 amounted to $1,116,000, which is an
average of S1f5 an acre.
Poor men who want to buy land can
borrow money for that purpose from the
National Bank of Egypt at a low rate
of interest upon a government guaran-
tee This benevolent feature of a pa
ternal government has done a great deal
of good, although it was adopted only
three years ago, in October, 1900. More
than $4,000 fellaheens, as the peasant
farmers are called, have taken advant-
age of it and have borrowed more than
$4,000, coo at 3 per cent interest. The
bank makes the advances, but the gov
eminent through the agency of its tax
gatherers collects the interest and prin-
cipal when due at the same time as a
part of the land tax. Thus the bank,
being relieved of the necessity of main.
tanning an expensive staff OF subordin-
ates, is able to advance small sums at a
relatively low rate of interest. The in
significant amount loaned to each enables
it to distribute a comparatively small
sum among a great many people. More
than one-half of the loans thus far made
have been far less than $3.50, and most
of them were payable in five years.
The Bank of Egypt having declined to
invest more than the s2,000,000 already
loaned, the government advanced it ST.

mer says, and he has taken a great in

that Russian revolutionists in the

charge that the Empress of Russia

the story from a perfectly reliable

They say peasant about to become

say, was born the night before the
peasant woman was delivered, but
the accouchement was kept a secret
until the peasant child was born. The
