/ doubt very much whether girls be-
tween IS and Is ever appreciate the
importance of knowing how to sit still
This is one of the lessons we. learn at
school. and il is fully as valuable as
any lesson in science or literature, or
any other department in which we are
instructed Girls are often fidgety.
Jumping up and rushing about when
there is no need for restless activity
and changing their posture until look
ing 1t them is fatiguing to other peo-
pie, Unless we learn how TO sit still
when we are young. we seldom master
the art successfully when we are older.

While the British administration has
undoubtedly benefited Egypt in great
many ways, that fact alone does not
give England the right 10 continue in
permanent occupation of the country.
The EnglislmaD is generally a capable
and honest administrator, but this in
itself does not elect him the guardian
of the universe. His ability to make
bonds pay interest is not sufficient
cause for him to take and hold any
territory that he considers IN need of
his particular skin. Any faiT-minded
observer viii admit that the English
have q genius for converting disturb
ances into dividends. But by what
means? And after that what can be
said?
How the Empire Grows.
When England took possession of
nation that the object of her
majesty's government in sending
troops to the country is to establish
authority of the khedive.
England, by her interference i'm Egypt,
is seeking no territorial advantage nor
the enjoyment of any exclusive privi-
lege." The announcement was also
made that the army of occupation
would be Withdrawn as soon as order
had been restored. and the date set for
its departure within six months. What
hapT~1ed? Instead of restoring the
Khecive to authority the English
brazenly supplanted him, and he is still
fguTehead. The territorial advan-
tage" enjoyed by Great Britain in
valley Of the Nile is obvious. It has
been twenty-five years since the time
appointed for the withdrawal of the
troops. and there is still no sign of
their going. And the methods en-
ployed by this strong nation in impos-
ing itself on helpless one are defined
as craftsmanship. 1t is by such means
of force and misrepresentation sthat
England has acquired her empire upon
which the sun never sets.
What has England done for Egypt?
Her efforts have been directed mainly
toward making ii a good asset for
her bondhoIders. She has widened
the zone of cultivable land along the
Nile because she makes more acres to
levy taxes upon. Instead of reducing
the debt, she has Increased it. She has
done nothing toward training the
Egyptians 10 take over the manage
ment OF their government. In every
responsible position there is an Eng
Hshman drawing pay enough for two
men. The machinery of the admins
tration is so completely in the hands
of Englishmen that the native has no
chance TO qualify. Here. as elsewhere,
it has been the policy Of Great Britain
to leave the masses in ignorance. You
gel your telegram in French, and your
local bill may be made out in Arabic

powers. takiTg their cue from England,
were afraid 10 subscribe to the stock
but all were willing to loan money and
take a mortgage on Egypt. When jhe
sum OF this indebtedness had become
so great that interests could not be
paid, they jointly swooped down upon
the sorely tried country.
Although England bitterly opposed
the idea of the new waterway, and did
everything within her power to pre-
vent it's construction, the final settle
ment revealed that she held fully half
OF the outstanding bonds, as well as Z
voting majority or the canal stock
This latter was secured from IsnaI
at a low price when he was in such
sad straits, and is today worth four
times what its owners paid for it.
Egypts right to receive 10 per cent of
the income was also squeezed away
from her by the creditors, and the
country has no prospects Of ever bene-
fitting from the presence of the canal.
unless il is the remote chance of
owning it at the expiration of ninety
nine years. With England continuing
in possession of the country. and
holding the majority of the canal
stock. does anyone acquainted with
British history believe for a moment
that the pledge made to Egypt will
be kept?
Being Farmed On Shares.
Under its present form of govern
ment Egypt has been aptly compared
to a farm that is being worked on
shares When England forcibly took
possession she agreed to give the other
bOndhOlders look into the national
cash box. and propoTtionate share OF
the receipts. France. Germany, Rus
STA. Austria and Italy all have repre-
sentatives in Cairo to see what is going
on-they go to considerable trouble to
guarantee a square deal among them
selves, but poor Egypt foots the bills.
The total amount of Egypt's indebted
ness, in which they are all interested.
is sos. 600. 600. and the annual interest
on this sum is $4,000, 600. which is di-
vided between them according to their
respective holdings.
The annual cost of conducting the
Egyptian government is S53, 00O. 900. The
annual tribute paid 10 the sultan
amounts to $1,000, 900, while the khedive
draws little over a million dollars to
maintain himself and his family. Be
sides all this there is the cost of sup
porting the army. as well as providing
for civil and military pensions. About
half of this sum is raised from land
tax imposed on farmers who work for
from Is to 20 cents day. The soil is.
very fertile, but extremely limited in
area. so that the people are crowded
onto ii at the rate Of 900 to the square
mile. The per capita debt is about
sixty dollars-a fearful obligation for
a people who are poor.

Where the English Fail.

England's subjects are kept in ig-
norance because they are thus more
amenabie to the arbitrary viii OF
their masters. Our British friends
make one excuse and then another for
not educating the masses. but the real
reason is because they want to- The

while? What show would the AmeFi-
