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 a 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. IF you want my produce"
says the modern Egyptian, come here
and purchase it; if you want me to
buy yours bring it to my house and 1
will examine it, He buys and sells
on the old conservative lines, but to
the energetic exporter he gives prom
Use of becoming an important factor
if 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
Of 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 upon his bales and hold
ing out for high prices. He can afford
to wait, but the intending purchaser
cannot, and the Egyptian knows it.
Foreign capital has been slow in
making an invasion of Egypt, but
now it is there in large quantities,
and under its influence trade is adj
vancing in bounding leaps. Before
the British occupation there were, ex-
elusive of the Suez Canal company
lished in Egypt, only IL companies in
which foreign capital was invested.
Their combined capital can be ascer-
tanned, but it was not extremely large.
From 1882 to 1887 nine commercial
companies, with a combined capital
of 100000, were formed. Between
1889 and 1891 three more were fioated,
with a combined capital of $3000,-
600, and in the next four years the
number was swelled to 13 new COM
panies, with a total capital of $780,
100000. 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 it's control.
The American manufacturer is just
beginning to take steps to capture at
least a 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.

"Be Pleasant Every Morning Until

"Be Pleasant Every Morning Until
Ten O'clock; the Rest of the Day
Will Take Care of ITSELF"
This is one of the best little SER
mons we know. Have you ever
stopped to think that the morning
is the time when your temper is usu-
ally ruf1ed, and have you ever
stopped to think that the cause OF
bad temper in the mOrnin-s is nearly
always because your stomach has not
been working properly during the
night? 1t has contained lot of indi-
gestible substances that form gas
and makes you have dreams. 1t
breaks up your rest and you wake up
in the morning tired, instead of re-
freshed, as nature intended you
should.
Our grand sires required no adj
monition to BE pleasant every morn
ing until 10 o'clock; the rest of the
day will take care of ITSELF for they
digested their food and woke up fun
of life and energy ready for the days
duties, and this was because they
lived on simple foods instead of high
ly seasoned palatable connections,
which contain no nOuriShment. Ma
ture gave us milk, wheat and eggs,
and on these foods a person can
live Indefinitely, but If the milk is
skinned, and if the outside of the
the lime, the salt, and the iron, which
is in the outer part of the wheat
berry, if these are all removed, you
have simply starch alone; the starch
goes into the stomach and becomes
sugar.
Do you know that a person would
starve to death on plain white bread
and water? Do you know that he
could live indefinitely on whole wheat
bread or on whole wheat food ana
water? These interesting facts are
all set forth in a book called Back
to Nature" which tells about proper
living and gives recipes for meals Of
the simple kind-the kind that makes
you strong and well; the kind that
makes you Pleasant every morning
until 10 o'clock" This book is pub
Ished at a great expense, but it is

BIRDS SHUN THE DEEP SEA
They Seldom Cross Waters Of Great
Depth in Their. Flight from
One Land to Another.

Frank Chapman, of the New York
museum of natural history, has been
writing about the birds of England,
which he finds more numerous but
of fewer species than those of this
country. Curiously enough only one
of hundreds of varieties is common to
both countries.
A writer in the London Outlook
points out that no birds cross deep,
even if narrow, seas. The Madagascar
straits are impossible to birds, though
the north seas are a highway for them.
Godwits pass from the Nile to the
shores of Norfolk, though neighbor-
ing islands in an archipelago may
show no common stock.
All birds, with the possible excep-
ton of the sparrow, are stirred to
movement by different causes-wind,
weather, food, the bullying of parent
and other birds Birds of prey drive
off their young Martins love famil-
lar caves; successive ravens have built
on the same ledge for centuries.
The longer passages are only made
over shallow seas that once were
land, and when once a journey is made
the memory is strong enough to urge
a repetition. The change of home
then becomes not fashion but an in
herited habit.

"HE RAN FOR LAWYER"
But There Was Doubt as to Whether
He Had Ever Caught

A man from Pennsylvania went to
vineland on a business errand. The
town was strange to him, and he was
unacquainted with the man Ga lawyer
he had gone to see. The directions he
received were so indefinite that he
found himself on the elge of the town
without having come to the house he
sought. Then he met an old negro
and asked the way of him and learned
that the house lay about a quarter of
6 mile farther down the road.

weighing nearly $50 pounds. had made
her his slave for six years during which

her upon the streets to earn a living for
him.
