Zone evening when he had been
called to see the Czarevltch the talk
ran to American drinks. The new
doctor carried his own stock OF
American liquors. He spoke OF the
American cocktail. which. at that
time, was the most called for mixed
drink at the bar.
"The Czarevitch was amused at
the name. He thought it was a
Joke. The Yankee doctor assured
him OF the contrary.

like to try the drink. The doctor
brought in his ingredients and pre-
pared a cocktail in the presence of
the Czarevitch, who was lntently
interested. When he had tasted it
he went into ecstasies and called for
more.
"After he had sampled several
cocktails he proposed to make the
mixture himself, and learned with
much more ease than he has learned
some other things since.
"When the American doctor was
leaving St. Petersburg the Care

physician asked leave to pay his
respects and was accorded an audi

"The Emperor reminded him that
he was an expert in mixing the

they repaired to a private room

HIGH SPEED SHIPS WANTED
Popular Demand Of the
Day.

Among the advantages claimed for
he Increasingly popular passenger
ships of large size and moderate
speed should be mentioned the fact
that many of them are showing in
regular service a rate of speed which
Is fully as high as that which they
maintained on their trials In smooth
water, states the Scientific American.
Moreover, because of their great
weight and momentum and their mod
crate speed they are not SO greatly af-
fected by adverse weather conditions
as the faster ships and their coming
and going Is marked by great regulari-
ty and close adherence to the Saline
schedule.
II a 23-knot ship runs into a heavy

more liable to miss tide and suffer

New York, than ship of the slower
type. AS showing how the big yes
sells OF the intermediate type are run
ming well up to their trial speeds, we
may take the case OF the Amerika.
which In recent passage from Cher
hourg to Sandy Hook of 3,14O miles
maintained an average speed of 1874
miles an hour, while on its preceding
easterly passage 1t covered a distance
OF 3,OSS miles in seven days, six hours
and "a minutes, which works out as an
average speed of 17.71 miles an hour.

NOTES ON COTTON GROWING.

About 10000 bales of cotton is this
years crop of the Laguna section of
Mexico. The Mexican mills will also
require an additional $4,000 bales
from the United States during 1906.
The British charge in Guatemala
has forwarded to London a sample OF
weevil-resisting cotton grown in the
Retalhulen district of western Guate'
mala. 1t is called "Pachon," is a
short-season cotton, productive and
with fiber of good length and tex.
ture.
The Turkish minister of agriculture
is about to buy 1900 pounds of Amer
lean and Egyptian cotton seed for the
improvement of the quality of cotton
raised in Turkey. The seed will be
distributed in the provinces of Adana,
Adm and Salonika, according to the
Levant Herald.
The exports of raw cotton from
southern Nigeria in 1905 declined to
$4,000 pounds, having been 285, 639
pounds in 1904. This falling of is ex-
pected to adjust itself during the pres
ent year, when the new plantations
will commence to yield, states the
Government Gazette of the Nigeria
protectorate. 1t has also been re-
ported that there was some cotton
to be shipped from northern Nigeria.

TRADE OF EGYPT.
FOREIGN CAPITAL BUILDING UP
COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES.
American Manufacturers beginning
to Reach Out After This Field
with Good Pros
poets,

Egypt, the ancient land of Biblical
story, is just now offering to the world
OF trade Q field for exploitation which
presents many favorable features for
the exporters of other nations. In
many things she is no less conserva-
tive to-day than she was in the days
when Jacob used to send his sons to
her to buy corn during a famine in
Palestine. III you want my produce"
says the modern Egyptian, come here
and purchase it: If you want me to
buy yours bring 1t to my house and l
will examine It," He buys and sells
on the old conservative lines, but to
the energetic exporter he gives prom
ise Of becoming an important factor
II he is approached In the proper way
and worked" skilfully.
Egypt always has been and still is
purely agricultural country Her
produce Is required by all other coun-
tries and the Egyptian cultivator is
well aware Of that fact. Just as in
the ancient days under the guidance
or Joseph he made the first corner in
the worlds corn, so at the present
time he makes a corner on his own
individual account. At the present
time the Egyptian cotton raiser is lit
orally sitting uron his bales and hold
ing out for high prices. He can afford
to wait, but the intending purchaser
cannot, and the Egyptian knows 1t.
Foreign capital has been slow in
making an invasion of Egypt, but
now 1t Is there in large quantities.
and under it's influence trade is adj
vancing in bounding leaps. Before
the British occupation there were, ex-
elusive Of the Suez Canal company
and two banks not primarily estab-
hshed in Egypt, only II companies in
which foreign capital was invested.
Their combined capital can be ascer-
tained, but it was not extremely large.
From 1882 to 1887 nine commercial
companies, with combined capital
OF $5,000,000, were formed Between
1889 and 1891 three more were fioated,
with a combined capital of $1,000
900, and in the next four years the
number was swelled to 13 new com
panies, with a total capital of $780,
OOO,O0O. After the battle of Atbara in
1898 foreign capital began to see the
advantages of the Egyptian field and
flowed into it with rush. European
manufacturers followed the stream of
| gold, and to-day the trade of Egypt
has become a prize well worthy the
pains necessary to secure its control.
The American manufacturer is just
| beginning to take steps to capture at
least fair share of this trade. Their
| distance from Egypt and the cost of
transportation are. no doubt, serious
handicaps for American exporters, but
with the advantages held by American
manufacturers in the production of
goods and the superior quality of their
products these disadvantages lose half
| their terrors.

QUEER DoINGs OF MEN.

A man will always stir his coffee be-
fore drinking 1t. This is very foolish
he should taste it first to see If it needs
stirring.
A man subjects the point of his pen
to careful scrutiny before commencing
to write letter. A woman starts right
off-jabs her pen in the inkpot and
straightway begins to scribble as If
her life depended on 1t.
Few men open their personal CORE

marks to see the time of posting.
Women on the other hand, tear open

not by telling them, but by ill-timed
silences He does worse-by refusing
to crafty the curiosity of his ques-
TONERS he invariably causes them to
jump to, conclusions much more dam

1t is the man who reads with his
back to the light, holding his book in
one hand. Herein lies wisdom. A

and leans both elbows thereon. But
