COMMERCE or EGYPT.
Purchasing Power Of Native Guilt
vator Now Being Increased
Squalor Eliminated.

In closing a comprehensive re-
port in regard to the commerce of
Egypt and the share therein of
the United States, Vice Consul
General +. q. Morgan, at Cairo,
draws the following pen picture of
trade conditions in ancient Egypt:
Il have already mentioned that
the purchasing power of the coun-
try is increasing year by year, but
| should 90 further and say that
the purchasing power Of the fel-
lah native cultivator) may now
be exhibited, and he takes care
that it is. 1t is but a few years
since any display, not of wealth,
but of being one degree above the
limit of abject poverty, would
have brought round the govern
ment tax gatherer with his per
suasive kourbash to wiring out the
last coin for the benefit of a de-
pleted treasury. The fellah's crav-
ing for modern comfort, not to
mention Injuries, increases with
his growing prosperity and feeling
of absolute security. Iron bed
steads and woven iron mattresses
have replaced the old 'angareebs'
"a sort of cOuch); wooden floors
have made their appearance in up
per rooms; cheap European car
pets with gaudy colors take the
place of reed mats; bent wood
chairs and substantial tables pro
vided with crockery and cutlery,
and a tablecloth, replace the old
mat and brass tray which former
ly represented the furniture of the
dining apartment-and so on
through a whole chapter.
"The picturesque squalor and
poverty, once the delight of the
artist, must be looked for now on
the limits of cultivation, not near
the Nile or in the neighbOrhOOd OF
the larger towns. Indeed, one
often hears the complaint made
that the oriental characteristics
Of Egypt are rapidly disappear
ing, whether it may be in connec-
ton with the handsome blocks OF
buildings being constructed all
over the country or in the clothing
and domestic life of the inhabit-
ants. And it is to this new peo'
pie and this new cOuntry-foI II
is a new country in spite of the
hoary antiquity of its monuments
and histOry-that | recommend
American manufacturers to turf
their serious attention"

A GREAT VOLCANIC Dixie.
California's Natural Curiosity Has
the Appearances Of a Wel-Built
wan Of Punaiee Stone.

Nature is full Of strange freaks,
and her agents - rains, storms,
winds and even dust-produce re-
suits that might often be mistaken
for the work of human hands,
though frequently on a colossal
scale.
Volcanic activities are mighty
factors, and through them some
wonderful phenomena are
wrought. One of these may be
seen along the course of Fall river
In northern California. This
stream is of considerable size, and
the work of natures gigantic
forces may be seen between the up
per and lower cascades of the
river.
1t is what might properly be
called a volcanic dixie" This dixie
extends for some distance along
Fall river, near its banks and
nearly parallel to the course II
bears close resemblance to a
roughly-constructed wall. The
top Of this dixie is very ragged and
the height of varying attitudes.
In some places it is 20 feet high
and several feet in thickness, and
again may be easily clambered
over. The rock of which this wall
of nature is composed is of a very
porous character, bearing some re-
semblance to pumice stone,
though much more solid and of
greater specific gravity.
Tie entire region is of volcanic
origin and evidently was once the
scene of great eruptive activity.
Scoria and lava abound, though
the face of the country is now
thickly clad with timber and
brush. The dixie begins and ends
abruptly.
The wall of the dixie Is evidently
the result of volcanic forces, and
has no doubt stood for many cen.
turtles. 1t stands clear from the
clinging rocks, has a narrow foun
dation, with vertical walls, and is
very straight. The mystery is
what forces of nature could have
piled up or left standing this rock
formation so uniform. This dixie
has puzzled not a few geolOgist;
who have visited and examined it

Chinese Women Firhters.

Women in China have the priv
ilege of fighting in the wars. In
the rebellion of 1850 women did as
much fighting as men. At Nan
kin, in 1863, 100000 women from
various parts Of the country we're
formed into brigades of $4,000
each, under female officers. OF
these soldiers 10000 were picked
women drilled and garrisoned in
the city.

Japanese Sailors.

A Japanese marine officer has
explained why Japan has such
good sailors. Most of her coast
vessels are small, but there are
a great manyof them, and almost
any man taken from u fishing vii
lage has had enough experience
to enable him to become an eff
Gent sailor in a short time.
