Modern Egypt.

NAO0OAh ASJPes
Thoughts In striking contrast with
those evoked by the warning to the
English nation by speaker IN parlia-
ment a few weeks ago follow the read
Ing of United States Special Agent G.
NJ. Peppers recent report on trade
conditions and development in the land
of the pharaohs Taking his text from
a local outbreak of violence against the
British ruler. n conservative member OF
the cabinet appealed to the patriots not
to side with the malcontents in Egypt,
as that country was ready to plunge
into holy war and attempt to over
throw British domination. Mr.. Pepper
sees the commercial side only. but his
picture of industrial progress In the
most promising territory bordering the
Mediterranean anywhere from Glbral-
tar to the Red sea" is far removed from
any suggestion of widespread discon-
tent or of evils of British admlnistra
ton which would invite an uprising.
70 quote
The policy of the khedive's govern
ment. which is only another name for
English authority, Is paternal. 1t recog-
nizes the lack of initiative in the native
character and also the limitations on
private enterprise and the necessity OF
the state undertaking projects of public
works on a large scale. The railways
that form the real commercial arteries
for the whole country are owned ana
operated by the government which I'M
dertakes the construction of new lines
somewhat In advance Of the traffic that
is in sight. The waters OF the Nile and
its tributaries are controlled by the state.
which not only constructs the dams and
the irrigation works, but regulates the
use of the waters in the most minute
particulars. Many land and irrigation
projects have been entered upon by prl-
vate capital and they are playing an i'm
portant part in the development OF the
country. but they are incidental and an
cillary to the government works. The
policy of the state, as related to rail-
ways irrigation and other public works.
is somewhat similar to that of the United
States with reference to river and harbor
improvements
Land values have doubled within ten
years. owing to increased productivity,
due to irrigation and improved trans
portation. Extensive tracts which
few years ago were valued at $50 to
SO an acre are now. owing to lrriga-
ton. worth $40 to $3.50 an acre. 1t Is
possible by irrigation to add 100000
900 to the value of the irrigable land OF
Egypt. Generally speaking. the coun-
try is undergoing a remarkalAe process
of development, and 1t will be years
before the end of the boom is reached.

As rule our red checked American
girls are not the kind to carry Ameri-
can dollars abroad for the purpose OF
supporting titled husbands. If the
faded eyes of Europe's effete connois-
seurs want to see the bloom where ma
lures alchemy paints 1t they have tc
come to headquarters-the hills and
prairies Of America.
But with rosy checked apples 1t Is
different" We grow them In an abun-
dance so great that we can afford to
pass them around with the old time
generosity of grandpa on a winter
night. For some time England, Ire
land and Scotland have been sampling
our fruit and calling for more. Recent
ly train load of the Ben Davis va
rlety raised in the Mississippi valley
was dispatched to Scotland. No dis
putting that pure American air painted
their cheeks. The Atlantic and Pa
clfic are thousands Of miles away from
the Ben Davis orchards. 1t Is not prob
able that Scotland will monopolize this
special variety of American product.
England, Ireland and the continent
may ask to share close contact with
those same enchanting red cheeks and
the exhilarating juices they conceal
Fortunately we have barrels and bar
rels of them to spare, but as for girls
of the same rosy brand, we don't raise
them to "sell' nor to swap" for any
thing creation has to offer.

LETTER TO ROBERT BURGESS,
BELFAST, MAINE.

Dear Sir: A pound of good meat and no
bone is worth more than half-pound OF
meat and half-pound of bone; but there
are, as you say, a great many people who
won't pay more than certain price by the
pound Give 'em bone; that's right; give
'em plenty of bone!
There are people who won't pay more
than $3.50 a gallon for paint; give 'em
plenty of bone!
There's no better school than experience
cost is high but the lesson is never forgot
ten.
Let a man paint two houses alike, same
size: one Dev0e, the other that 81. so paint
He buys 10 gallons of each, and pays S3 a
day for labor-$3 day is S3a gallon, easier
reckoning.
He has to buy two gallons more of the
81 80 paint and has two gallons left OF De
voc; i gallons $3.50. SIS; 8 gallons $175;
$14 81 more for ''cheap" paint.
He pays So gallon for painting 8 gallons
S24; IL gallons $50; S12 more for painting
''cheap" paint.
He'll buy the less gallons paint after that.
If people are slow to learn tits because they
keep-on buying bone-meat. Give 'em plenty
of bone.
Yours truly,

days was completely cured, and
think permanently, as it was about five
years ago.
"The psoriasis first made it's appear
ance in red spots, generally forming
circle, leaving in the center aspot about
the size of silver dollar of sound flesh.
In short time the affected circle
would form a heavy dry scale of white
silvery appearance and would gradually
drop off. To remove the entire scales
by bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
Light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust would
form again in twenty-four hours. 1t
was worse on my arms and limbs, al
though it was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. If l let the
scales remain too long without remov-
ing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. l suffered
intense itching, worse at nights after
getting warm in bed, or blood warm
by exercise, when it would be almost
unbearable.
"To sum it all up, would not go
through such another ordeal of affection
for thirty-fve years for the State of
Kansas. (signeO W. M. Chichester,

Tie Lewiston correspondent of the
Boston Herald reports a large increase
the past year in the deposits in the two
Lewiston savings banks, and says that
some attribute this to the enforcement
of the prolibitory law. The Herald
correspondent says further:
1t would be quite difficult matter
TO trace Just what effect this enforce
ment has had, but no doubt it has had
something to do with the increase of
savings among the poorer classes. For
some time this law has been enforced
in this city as it never was before, and
the practical application of the law has
caused some men to believe in enforc-
ed prohibition who hitherto were in
clined to look with favor toward a local
option plan.
