The Famous Mamelukes.

The mamelukes were body of SOL
diers who ruled Egypt for several hun.
dred years. Their name is derived
from an Arab word which means slave,
and they were originally captives from
Caucasian countries. In the middle Of
the thirteenth century they were intro.
duced into Egypt as the sultan's body
guard, but upon the accession Of Turan
Shah, whom they hated, they over.
threw him and elected one of them
selves In his place. For nearly 300
years they held the power thus usurp.
ed, and even when compelled to resign
it they had much influence in Egypt.
In 1911 nearly all the mamelukes were
massacred by Mohammed Ali, and
those who then escaped to Nubia were
destroyed in 1920.

much more beautiful than / am. Go
and make love to herr On hearing
this, the man went to see the sister, but
found she was very ugly, so he came
back in an angry mood and asked the
lady why she had told him a falsehood.
She then answered, "Why did you tell
me a falsehoodT The man was sur

when he had done SO. Her answer
was: "You said you loved me. If that

The Wind Sail.

It frequently happens that after dis
charging a cargo of particularly
malodorous nature it is necessary to
let the air reach certain parts of the
hold of vessel not served by the fixed
regulation ventilators. To effect this
purpose a portable canvas ventilator,
called a "wind SAIL" Is employed. 1t is
cylindrical in shape and is kept in po-
sition by means Of stays. When it is
erected the air blows down it, and the
hold is soon pure once more.

known by the name of the Charlotte

time thrown open to the public at sale

moment you will see that thi, sale was
quite an undertaking tor seven girls ano
one teacher. The girls fully realize how

helping them. Financially the sale wa.
very successful, $50 or more being cleared
