AMERICANS LIKE THE KHEDIVE.
The Khedive is now thirty-one
years old. He is short and thickset,
with an evident tendency toward fat
ness as his age increases. He speaks
six languages and is an accomplished
musician. His visitors find him re-
markedly well posted on all the issues
of the hour and interested in what
ever makes for the betterment of the
conditions of mankind. Instead of
lending himself to the silly vanities
with which so many monarchs fritter
away their time, we find him an en-
thusiastic poultry raiser and a scien
tific breeder of fine stock.
Americans like the khedive be-
cause he has common sense to take
his position so sensibly. He INDUCES
in no more display than is necessary
to maintain the dignity of his posi-
ton. His cavalry escort is small; his
dress is rnodesty itself; and although
his one annual entertainment is an
elaborate and expensive affair, it is
not more costly than he can afford
He has large holdings of city real
estate and farm lands, and is said to
be rapidly increasing his fortune by
personally supervising his invest
ments. We read in the paper that
His Highness is quite we'll satisfied
with the demonstration of what a
certain kind of American farm ma
chinery can do. and that he has pur-
chased several carloads of the same
for use on his estates. 1t is a proud
tenant who can show a personal re-
ceipt in the Khedive's handwriting,
and yet there are many such, for he
negotiates even the smallest of his
affairs

Egypt receive a good impression Of
the squat little man who hurries
back and forth between his farm
and the palace that is controlled by
foreigners. Most strangers, in driving
across the Nile bridge, notice the
bronze lions that typify England in
her attitude of waiting; not only wait
ing for the interest on IsmaiPs bonds,
but watching for the chance to perfect
a title to this fruitful land. All who
believe in liberty hope that the bonds

of the Nile, who are the oldest and
hardest working huIbandmen in the
world, may eventually come into their

Well, l never!"
At the word treasure" Sir Godfrey had van
ished like ghost. No respectable spirit ever allows
a buried treasure to pass out of the family. He
caught shooting-star express and arrived at the
castle in a few hours. He spent the night looking
round the picture gallery The portraits had been
restored and the old furniture renovated by appre-
catve hands and he felt entirely at home there 1t
was several hours after daybreak and he was still
looking the old faces when he heard the rustic of
a Dress and stood still in front of his portrait. He
was of course, invisible.

Won't YOU show your treasure to me?
| shouldn't be frightened of you, Sir
Godfrey, because l like you. That is true,
you know" She touched the picture
lightly. Her hand went through the
ghost of Sir Godfrey.
He took it in his invisible fingers and
lowered his invisible lips to it, and sighed
an invisible sigh. No one else in the fam
lily had spoken affectionately to him in
hundreds of years. No one else had
seemed to prize the family name and ira
ditions. He cursed the foolish vow that
prevented his appearance to this charm
ing descendant-in-law, and tried to ex-
plain that she must advise her husband
to summon him. but he could make no
sound louder than the buzzing of a fly
She waved her handkerchief to drive it
away. Then she heard a mans step and
turned toward the door; and Sir Charles,
eighth of the name, appeared big,
well-featured, heavy-looking man of about
thirty-fve.
Saying good-by to your ancestors,
mother?" he asked in careless voice.
Sir Godfrey noted the testimonial of the
name.
Your ancestors, she corrected. How
you must feel about it!'
Sir Charles laughed and shrugged his
broad shoulders. I'D sell the lot of my
worthy ancestors for a sovereign" he
declared. The ghost of Sir Godfrey shook
his fist at him It's my descendants
that l don't like selling little beg
gars! never thought things would turn
out like this when l married you"
She gave a sharp cry and sank on an
old settle, with her face in her hands The
ghost laid an invisible hand on hers, and
hot tear dropped through his fingers.
You needn't have said it.! F." she sobbed.
Sir Charles looked at her in surprise
and pulled his heavy mustache. 1 never

THE ghost of Sir Godfrey Mallnson had his fail
i ings, but he was the ghost of gentleman, and
he had not the slightest intention of annoying
anyone. When he found that the female portion of
the family shreked and tainted at his appearance he
decided not to walk when women were present.
When Sir Charles, fourth of that name shut up the
picture gallery, after he had frightened a footman
into fit, he inferred that his presence was not
wanted and ceased to walk at all He was both hurt
and annoyed by the GOODNESS of his family, and he
soemnly vowed that he would never appear again
until he was invited by male representative of the
family. The ghosts of gentlemen keep their word.
For some generations Sir Godfrey took periodical
trips lin invisible form to the ancestral halls, to
see if his company desired. After sfew hun
bred years had passed without any of his descendants
passing him the compliment of invitation, he
ceased to visit the foolish little place that the foolish

was about eight and twenty, and was more Pinkish
than white, because she had been crying. She
walked up to Sir Geoffreys picture and nodded
through him, as if they were old friends He bowed
invisible bow. If this a syndcate's daughter,
he thought, syndicate must be an extremely supe-
rior sort of tradesman
The intruder in your noble family is going, Sir
Godfrey" she said-she had a singularly sweet
voice, though her modern accent sounded foreign to
him. If you walk as they say, suppose you are
glad; but l think l should have made you like me
if you had been alive"
She smiled. Sir Godfrey thought for a moment

of your house; and teach them to my little sons.

What did the fool do it for, if the-the

snapped.
He had; but he's lost it at one of their
newfangled gaming clubs-the Stock-Ex-
change, they call it. The old man lent
your fellow money on the castle, so they're
going to take it"
Take it," roared Sir Godfrey. Why
doesn't he call out the men-at-arms?
You can't nowadays" Sir Anthony
explained. The County Council won't
let you fight. It's a sort of king, and it
has lot of soldiers in blue uniforms and
enormous boots. They call them police

Why don't you go and see him?" Sir
Anthony suggested. They're rather
nervous about apparitions in these days,
and if you startled them perhaps they
wouldn't do it."

A Deserted British Island.

From the London Tribune.
A few years ago Walasea Island, on the
coast of Essex, which comprises about
5000 acres Of particularly rich land, had
population of over 200, with one or two
prosperous-looking farms and a school.
Gradually, however, the laborers have been
tempted to abandon the necessarily dull
life of the island in favor of a more ex-
citing, though probably unemployed, exist
ence in London and elsewhere, with the re-
suit that Wallasea Is today a dreay, unpro-
ductive desert, witness the following
pithy extract from the diary of a lady who
recently visited the island during a yachting
cruise:
The school and school house have not
been used for some years. The windows
are broken. Upstairs we found birds which
had got in by the windows and could not
get out, dead, and papers dated Augut.
1898, lying about Cottages were near and
farm buildings, but all uninhabited except
by owls and rabbits We saw rabbit run
ming on the roof of cottage and heard
rats and rabbits scuttling about upstairs.
Altogether it was enough to give any one
the creeps in the dark, the place is abso-
lutely deserted and the floors of the rooms
are little rabbit warrens.

on which horses and cattle roam about free.

of which the school was built still having

"Sir" and "Ma'am."

From the San Francisco Argonaut.
question has arisen in Los Angeles
concerning the proper form of address
inculcated in the public schools. 1t seems
that the children there are taught to say
sir and ma am" Some of the parents
consider this provincial" and think that
they should be taught to add the name of
the person addressed But the Los Anse-
les school teachers say that children can
not remember the names of many people,
and it would be impossible SO to burden
their memories.
Is the contention correct of those pa
rents who think that sir and ma a M
thus used is provincial usage? There
can be no doubt that this usage is found
much more frequently in rural districts
than in cities. 1t is certainly a very old
usage. 1t is etiquette thus to address the
King and Queen of England. 1t is not
etiquette to address him as "your
majesty but simply sir" Among we'll
bred American men the habit of usin z
sir is not common except in addressing
strangers, or possibly men of advanced
age, or men for whom great generation is
entertained. Among equals the custom.
in ordinary conversation, does not exist.
We speak more particularly of city DWELL
ers There can be no question that the
use of yes and no without any sup
Elementary title Is somewhat curt, but
there can be no question also that among
the educated city jewellers of the United
States the custom of using sir and
ma am has fallen into desuetude
