ENGLAND'S RULE IN EGYPT.
Public Revenue Twenty Times as
Great as When British Controlled.

Public Revenue Twenty Times as
Great as When British Controlled.
When England assumed sole con
troll in 1882, Egypt was still bank
rupt, with a public debt of more
than $5O0,0OO,OOO and an income in
sufficient to pay the interest and
carry on the government.
The public revenue in 1882
amounted to $4,5OO,0OO; in 1907 to
$S1 100000, more than $10,0O0,000 IN
excess of the expenditures. On Jan.
1, 1908, the sum of $45, 100000 was
in the general reserve fund and the
public debt was reduced in 1908 by
81, 100000; it now is $479,00O,O0O
The cities and towns were with
out any drainage or sewerage. Only
within ten years even Cairo itself,
with death rate of forty-six per
1000, has undertaken any such pub
lie work. In the country every ca
nal was polluted and stagnant pools
of filth were near every village.
The annual pilgrimages to Mecca
were likewise the means of intro
ducing many diseases. Cholera and
other epidemics were of frequent
occurrence, and their ravages car.
ried off thousands and thousands of
the population.
Little by little the various diff
culties of the situation have been
studied and solved by the admins
tration, until now Egypt may be con-
sidered a reasonably healthy coun-
try. Of course vast sums of money
have been required to effect such a
result.
At first enormous difficulty was en-
countered by the English in making
changes in the system of taxation,
because the people, so long accus-
toned to the betrayal of their in
terests, thought the plans proposed
were simply for the purpose of in
creasing their burdens. Little by
little, however, they learned that an.
other era had opened, and finally
their suspicious were Gained They
then began to work with renewed
energy, and now, secure in the fruits
of their labor, they are not merely
their own conditions, but
are building up the reputation OF
their country.-World Today.

SWEETEST SOON
IN FULL SWING
EASTERN kE-CHEWERS HE
AWAY INTO NEW HAMP-
SHIRE.
BUT NEW-FANGLED SERUM GIVES
GREAT HOPE TO STERNU-
TATIONISTS.

The great sneeze-fest of this coun-
try, the annual convention OF the
United States Hay Fever association
UP in New Hampshire, will be held
beginning Friday, August &c.
Hay fever is not pleasant disease,
and it makes its victims suffer and
destroys their good temper. But it is
by far the best organized disease in
the country. So far as is known the
iaundice sufferers have never held a
convention, and no one has called a
meeting of those afflicted with in
growing toenails.
Not alone do the hay fever victims
get together and commisserate with
each other, but they get out a booklet
each year which contains all the in
formation that can be obtained about
the disease, it's remedies, and the
places where the sufferers are ex-
empt for some, partly exempt for
others, ard not at all for others. So
in classifying the places the numbers
of those who have reported exempt,
not exempt and partly so are given.
The selection of New Hampshire
place was really made on merit, for it
has the largest number of exempt re-
ports from that place of all those
where the hay fever persons go for
relief. Ninety-three persons have re-
ported that they are totally exempt
while there, twenty-three that they
are not exempt, and sixty-four that
they get partial relief According to
the statistics prepared, New Hamp-
shire leads all places as a haven for
the persistent sneezers. But this is
an eastern view which takes no cog
nlzance of north Wisconsin.
The booklet of the association is
made UP largely this year from the
twelfth annual report of the Heufie-
ber-Bund Won Helgoland, which is the
Hay Fever association of Germany.
There is a description of an operation
which is being used, and so far with
success, in bringing about not relief
but a cure Germany is also using an
as a cure
france has serum which is being
used, but there is no report concern
ing it's effectiveness. The results of
new discoveries for the disease in
this country are reported, including
everything from electric drugs to the
breathing of air heated by electric
lamps. Another plan is to insert LIQUID
paratfine in the nose, so that it may
shelter the membrane and prevent
contact with the pollen.
This is the thlrty-seventh annual
convention of the association, which
shows that it is no fy-by-night organ
ization, but has permanency. 1t was
organized to relieve hay fever suf-
ferers wherever found, and the mem,
bers are not bit discouraged over
the fact that no panacea has been dis
covered in the thirty-seven years of
its existence

Just as in Europe, our American
tourist is a mark for everybody over

most considerably if he is allowed
to pay for a thing only three times

when stranger lands in a place he
can be kept there long enough for
the town to get a big whack at his

You can land in Toronto from New
York city early in the morning. You
want to go north, but before there
is a train to take you in the after
noon you can spend some of your
money on hotel or restaurant lux

cabs to see the sights and anything
else that will help to kill the drag

CLASSICS woRsrEp IN KANSAS


Then came the contest of solos.
Miss Bessie Farrier, of Plainville. rem
dered in most beautiful manner
that classical solo, Sing On" She
displayed remarkable power and
training, and she is possessed of a
wonderful voice, which will some
day make her famous. One of the
judges, specialist in music, ranked
ner first. The decision of a special
list in music counts far, far more
than the decision of a judge who
knows nothing about music. She was
followed by Miss Ruth Kackly, of
Hill City, who sang a little senti-
mental love song, "All That ! Want
in This Wide, Wide World is You.
You, YOU This song is old and
by no means classical Two of the
judges, moved by this love song,
ranked her first. Apparently they
could not appreciate really good mu-
sic. We deem their decision of lit
tie value, for they are very ignor-
ant of music. Plainville is ready at
any time to meet Hill City again in
vocal music providing we can have
competent judges AS it was, many
people of Hill City said that Miss
Farrier should have had all frsts.

GOOD RECORDS IN
DAIRY COMPETITION

The dairy COW competition, which
culture at the university last fall, is
proving extremely popular among the
dairymen and farmers of the state.
The competition was started with the
idea Of stimulating an interest in the
testing of dairy herds and it is ex-
pected to do much in the way of rails
ing the standard of dairy cattle in
Wisconsin Some very remarkable
records have been made so far and
the publication of the monthly re-
suits is looked for With keen interest
by breeders of dairy cattle and farm
ers in all parts of the state.
The number Of cows entered in the
competition for the entire month of
June was 264, their average produc-
tion being 10609 and 45.4 lbs. but
ter fat One hundred and two COWS
produced over so lbs. of butter fat or
more, or were credited with this pro-
duction, and 10 cows produced over
So lbs. of butter fat, equivalent to over
21a lbs. commercial butter for every
day of the month. The record COW
for the month was Dipah Johanna
Abbekerk End, 64128, owned by B. F.
Winckler of Chiffon. This COW pro-
duced 2610.1 Lbs. milk, 3109 lbs
total solids and 83523 lbs. butter fat
average per cent solids, 11.91, fat,
800 per cent?. The production of
this eight-year old COW wins for the
owner the Hoard's Dairyman special
prize fon June.
The number of cows entered in the
competition at this time is 1856 En-
tries will be received during the next
three months. The award of prizes
offered, the value of which will ag-
gregate nearly $4,000 in cash and
special prizes, will be made on basis
OF yearly records completed prior to

STORY.

Madison, July 22.-Fines amounting
to $4S5 with costs of $247.86, making
total of s732S6, are reported by
Game Warden George w. Rickeman
for the week ending yesterday.
Most of the prosecutions and con-
victions were for illegal fishing, either
as to methods or for taking of under
sized fish. Two, however, were for
violation of the state law relating to
setting of fins. These offenders were
10. G. Bendieux and M Miller OF
Price county. They were convicted
and fined, the former $40 and the lat
ter $25.
One 3. F. Chittenberg, a resident
of Chicago, alderman of that city and
a candidate for sheriff of Cook county,
Illinois, was arrested by Warden Bur-
get in Walworth county ard the case
WAS adjourned to July q. The offense
for which Gutenberg was arrested
was that of making false statement
regarding his residence. The offense,
it is alleged, was committed last year
and upon his return this week the
warden nabbed him.
Mayor Bert" Rynden of Amigo
and Frank Hoffman, hotel keeper of
that city, are among the victims Of
the wardens. They are charged with
illegal netting in Langlade county
and the cases Were Oh trial before
Justice Fuller at Amigo yesterday.
Although Warden Rickeman is busy
he finds time occasionally to listen
to tales of fish as recorded in the an
mails of jewellers upon the lake shores
or along the river banks. One of the
latest comes from Trempeleau county
and is Of a monster that has terror
lied jewellers upon the classic shores
of the father of waters. Fishermen
and launch parties at Trempealeau
and up and down the river near there
have reportd visions of this monster
and many and varied are the tales
that have been told during the past
two months. The monster has been
described as from the size of the reg
ulation sea-serpent to that of the lar
gest whale that spouts upon the bosom
Of old ocean. But at last the mys-
terry has been solved and the peace
of mind of superstitiolts habitants re-
stored
High and dry on a sandbar in Trem-
pealeau, the carcass of a huge gar,
five feet long, lies bleaching in the
SIM WardpO Piokopnop Couc +bo+
fishermen residing in the village de-
clare it is a baby whale or alligator
which has been frightening people
along the river during the past two
months. The appearance of the big
fish indicates it was either washed up
on the bar by the waves of passing
steamboat or was left in a shallow
pool by the fall of the water and was
unable to get back to the main river.
However it met it's fate, the death
of the big fish has caused rejoicing in
Irempealeau and vicinity, for since
the news spread that some mammoth
denizen of the deep was lurking in
the Mississippi in this vicinity many
tlinid persons have not dared to go
out III small boats for fear the whale
or alliga or would capsize the skiff or
poke its big head into the boat and
make = lunch out of two or three of
the occupants.
The dead gar is said to be the
largest fish ever seen in that section
of the upper river.
