centuries to centuries, as were the

Gus, indeed, has been this awakening.

long and tedious journey of exile for
ages, recorded only in part in the an

bringing shame upon the nations

To whom is due this mighty mir

Ever since the dispersion of the
Jews from Palestine by the Romans,
il has been their constant wish TO re-
turn to their home. This desire has
been fostered in their hearts from
time immemorial and laily expressed
in their prayers, but history teaches
us that the hope seemed at times
vague and meaningless one. often
were the Jews offered a home else
where. Alexander the Great wanted
to provide sheltering place for them
in Africa. Napoleon Bonaparte afld
the great philosopher Spinoza used
their influence to secure home, but
the Jews, loyal to their heritage, re-
fused to consider any country their
own, but the land given them by their
Creator. Hundreds upon hundreds OF

Oh, what an age is this in which
we live! From the dawn of the TWEEN
tieth century to the present day, the
hand of progress has left it's stamp on
every side. Onward has been the
watchword! In the line of inventions,
discoveries, of art and of science
there has been no parallel in history.
In this period of rush and progress
the weak, the oppressed, the humble,
the poor and the lowly were trampled
under foot, each one eager to keep
apace with the onward strides for
attainment and achievements, the
strong overpowered the weak, the
rich the poor. Few were there to turn

In the middle Of the day the ruler OF
Egypt lunches with the only woman who
has ever sustained to him the relation OF
wife. His highness could. were he SO in
ciined, allow himself the complement of
four wives affected by the pi0us effendi OF
the land. He has none the less remained
strictly homogeneous.
The one wife dweIls In strict seclusion
on the khedivial domain Of Keubbeh ex-
cept for occasional visits to the great Alb
din Palace at Cairo. She Is Greek with
Circassian blood, some five years younger
than the hhedive-he Is nearing forty--and
exquisitely beautiful. 1t does not appear
that any European or American of the
male sex has ever gazed upon the features
of this lady.
She is the mother of six children-fivs
girls and boy. The latter is now about
ten years of age. and unlike the eldest
born Of Mohammedan rulers generally. he
is to inherit his fathers throne. This
young prince heritOr.' as he Is officially
styled. quite overshadows his sisters in

semble his mother in the fairness of his

tallness of his form.

Abbas Hilmi seems to have set his face
firmly against that plurality of wives
which is the vogue among the wealthier
OF his subjects. He will not allow a
daughter Of his to become the inmate OF
what is commonly understood by the term
harem. In all respects but this, he has
long been famed as the most Mohammed-
AMY pious of potentates, for his orisons
are performed with infinite fervor and an
regularity.
The five daughters receive from their
mother training which. from the point
OF view of the Mohammedan faith, is or
thodoX enough; but their father deviates
from Mohammedan ideals In his
relations with his son. The boy Is to b.,
brought up with the dynastic conception
strongly defined in his education. He will
be the first scion of Mohammedan royalty
TO inherit a throne upon the formally rec
ognized principle of primoseniture alone.
