King Edward has developed of late q very
pronounced liking for young Winston Churchill. He
kept him in his immediate encourage throughout
the greater part of his stay At Barritz. and
ChurchilVs to England has been followed by
the announcement OF his elevation 10 membership in
the Privv Council, which is regarded in London as
a token Of royal favor rather than political
promotion. The honor does not give him any in
OF his pay which Under Secretary Of State
for the Colonies amounts to $3.50 year; but 1t adds
enormously 10 his official status and political pres

played in his biography Of his father in dealing

as the roses de Provins. which easily

however, she known the Rose of Ian

roses. His descendants naturally retained both
his badge and his armOrial bearings; and thus II
was that the rose became identified with the royal
house Of Lancaster, from which the present reign

that the ruins of the Castle of Provins still exist
and that its gardens this day crowded with
crimson roses. descended from that single plant

 l spent some time in this university, going from hall to hall and making notes. In one section I found a class of blind boys who were reading the Koran, and ] am told that they are more fanaticaI than any of the others. In another place I saw forty Persans listening to a pro- lessor. They were sitting on the ground and the professor himself sat flat on the floor with his bare feet doubled up under him. l could see his yellow toes stick ing out of his back gown. He was lec- turing on theology and the students were attentive.

Every Moham- medan has his head shaved several times a week, and in this college there are 9OOO bald headed students. The scholar who would appear here with our ordinary col leee football cut would not be admitted. The students wear turbans Of white, black or green, and there is not a hair under them except on the top of the crown, where a little tuft may be left that the owner may be the more easily pulled into heaven.
 My way led through the street of the barbers. There were a number of them working on the heads of the students. The harbers made them l<neel down to be shaved, and l saw one or two lying with their heads in the laps of the men who were shaving them, The barbers use no paper, wiping the shavings on the faces of their victims instead. At the end they gave the head. face and ears q good washing.
 As I approached the entrance of the university l saw many young, long gowned turbaned men, with their books under their arms standing about and some carrying manuscripts in and out.

 Sleep In the School Rooms.
 There is no charge for tuition and the poor and the rich are on much the same level Many of the undergraduates are partially supported by the university, and 1t is no disgrace to be without money. Some of the students and professors live in the university They sleep in the school rooms, where they study or teach, lying down upon the mats and covering them selves with their blankets They eat thSfe, and there are peddlers who bring in food and sell it for them. The diet is plain, a bowl of bean soup and a cake of pounded grain, together with little garlic or dates, forming the most common meal Such food costs but little, but to those who are unable to buy the uni Versty gives food, 900 loaves of bread being supplied without charge to needy students every day.

 The girls of Egypt are beginning to go to school. For long time it was hard to persuade their parents to send them either to the government schools or pri- vate schools but of Hate some of the native educated wonien have been given places as teachers and many girls ars now preparing themselves for school work. Oother parents are sending their daughters to school to give them a good general education as the educated boys want educated women for wives There are at present something like 2000 girls schools. X movement is now going on to establish village schools for girls. and the tune will come when there will be girls schools all over Egypt and the Mo- hammedan women may become educated
 We are apt to think that the only charity is Christian charity. l find that there is Mohammedan charity as well and that many of the richer Moslems give money toward education and other such things. I have spoken of the endowment of the El-Azhar university, which is al-
