LIGHT DRAMA COCK.

Brahma hen is an idler and Is unpro.
ductive. As soft roasters no other
breed or variety can equal the Brahma

1t can be stated as fact that the
latter day Cochinizing Of the Light
Brahma by many breeders has Inn
paired the laying power of the breed,
where so bred. Mr.. Felch and Mr..
Williams and number OF other
friends of the breed have strongly op-
posed this action and have retained the
Brahma in its true form. This Cochin
izing of the breed has, too. affected II
as an exhibition bird. The west will

CAIRO, June 1S-In a speech delivered
at Victoria College. Alexandria, on the oc-
casion of laying the foundation stone of the
new and more complete institution, Lord
Cromer. after referring 10 the success of
the public school system here applied ex-
pressed the hope that all people OF influence
IN Egypt would do their utmost to prevent
the evil spirit of religious dissension from
blocking the path of educational progress
Though frequently urged to move the
Egyptian government to place their edu-
cational policy in the matter of religious
teaching on different basis, he held that
the proverb Leave well alone was espe-
cially applicable to Egypt.
Referring to the number of races and
CT eeds represented at the college. he hoped
for the steady improvement OF the reia-
lions between Europeans and natives and
between Europeans of different nationals
ties. He had noticed during the last two or
three years a distinct dimfnution in pettey
International riyairies. and he hoped that
educated Europeans would realize that it
was necessary to stand together as the
representatives and champions of western
civilization. The furtherance of the fusion
OF the different elements of Egyptian secie-
ty, and their guidance by harmonious CO.
operation In the direction OF the country's
welfare. was the noblest task for an
Egyptian reformer.

Designs Against the Chamber.
The members OF tho first named section
make no secret of their designs against the
chamber. and according to conservative
organ. they allude to the possibility of po-
iitical assassination. which may be indis-
pensable to the realization Of this aim. THIS
alarming statement has been published in
the journal called the Duma, and has been
republfshed In most of the newspapers.
Another idea floating In the court atnos-
phere now Is to invite moderate liberals
like Count Heyden and NJ. Stakhovfch to
enter the cabinet. Democrats will not re-
ceive portfolios because. according to the
journal Slovo, the court hates them, the
bureaucrats hate them, the reactionaries
hate them, the radicals censure them and
the peasants disapproye of their modera-

journal compares their position with that

which Russians had best be left to settle

However, considerable opposition to the
parliamentary majority Is arising among
the extremists and the peasants. Thus the

other statements:
