The Funny Things One Sees
Smiling Round the World
By MARSHALL P. WILDER
Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)

A first drive in Cairo is a joy-the objects of interest are so unceasing and so replete with historical meaning. The first thing to stir ones memory is the opera house, built in six weeks, so there might be a fitting home of song for the company of great French sing CTS brought over by the royal spend thrift Ismail to assist in the gorgeous celebration attending the opening of the Suez canal.
 Here was given the first perform ance of Verdi's opera Aida" written expressly for the occasion. The per formance was further unique from the fact that Mariotte Bey, the great Psychologist and discoverer of the Rosetta stone, gave his attention to scenery, costume and plot was histor. ically correct, while the Egyptian museum was ransacked for properties and jewels. It was probably the great est stage production ever seen, or that ever could be given, and was only pos sibe at a time when Ismail spent s21 100000 on the celebration attend ing the opening of the canal that was, first and last, his country's ruin.
 In the Monski, as well as other char acteristically native streets on the way to the bazaars, every phase of life may be seen. Open shops, scarcely six

 II ne selects an article from the stand of the merchant on his right the proprietor of the stand on his left will shriek in his ear No buy of heem! Heem verra bad man! Heem tef! Heem ladder tief, Heem mudder tief! His granfader tief! Heem gran mudder tief! No buy of heem!" While the imperturable proprietor on the right will respond in low guttural like a bass solo following soprano cadenza: "Heem big liar! Heem go jail! Heem got noting, Me got ebbery- ting! Look you! Shmakkin kip (smok ing cap), packet sniff (pocket knife) ooble-booble (hubble- bubble or water pipe), preera-beed (prayer beads. or rosary)." Then, with a shout of tri- umph: Shippers all, Shippers mooch! Beada shippers, Silka shlip- pers! Golda shippers! Me got all! Heem big liar! Heem go jail!" and so on ad infinitum.

 A wedding is quite likely to follow next in the wonderful street process sion. First clown or mountebank dancing, grimacing, rolling in the dirt going through all sorts of antics for the amusement of the people. He is followed by men playing on a collec. tion of shrieking and wailing musical instruments. Then comes the bride, sometimes in closely-shuttered car riage, draped with tinsel-trimmed vel vet, or, what is much more pictur- esque, curtained litter slung between two camels. After her comes the fur niture for her new home, for a bride is expected to provide everything, even to the bridegroom's rousseau This plenishing is all piled on camels, who go swaying along, sneering supercili- ously as if deploring the foolishness of these human customs. A camel's ex- pression of conscious superiority must be rather trying, if one sees much of 1t.
