Why England Believes In a KIna.

The great majority of EngIishmen
Of ali grades and opinions do undoubt-
edly believe in a king, and think they
have some fairly good reasons for do
ing so.
The great reason, of course, is that
on the whole the system works, or
seems to work, fairly well. It is very
costly. Everything included, it prob
ably costs ten times as much as the
average man thinks; and If a rate
were levied for the purpose on him,
he might feel it and begin to grumble.
But the money is derived from the
duchies, or voted from the taxes, and
nobody feels the pinch or even knows
the difference. 1t is a rallying point
for all kinds Of senseless anachro-
nisms and abuses. But in an old coun-
try many things have a better chance
of continued existence by being old
than by being good, and an abuse
comes to be esteemed almost when
it's hairs are gray and its years many.
It promotes snObbery and creates
snobs, though it will not be supposed
to be unpopular on that account

Be Cheerful.

Engraved faces are more often the
result of habit than the marks of
Time, that professional etcher, who
usually receives all the credit for
feminine ugliness. Woman is not con-
tent with expressing herself in words; !;
she must needs make little noses and
funny faces to give completion to her
ideas. If you wall about your lack of
beauty, watch yourself for one short
day. You will be surprised to find
what wonderful things you will 10

were not so substantially built they
would sooner show the wear and tear
imposed upon them.
Wrinkles and lines are indexes to

signboard on her forehead and she ad-
vertises her profession of official wor-
rier by growing box plaits between
her eyes, by allowing her mouth to
droop at the corners and by taking on
the plaintive portrait of misery in
which she really rejoices.
But the optimist, the individual of
good cheer and laughter, sails Sc
renely along the high seas of exist
ence with a smooth, nicely ironed
face, which makes her remain so
young that she never really outgrows

About Egypt.

The total area of Egypt proper is
about 100000 square miles, Of which
however, only some $4,000 square
miles are arabic. The population ex-
.ceeds 100000, the density of the
settled part thus surprising that of
any other land on earth, Belgium not
excepted. This superiority of Egypt
as an agricultural country is owing to
the eQuable climate; the possibility Of
carrying on farming all the year
round, a constant supply of water
and, as a consequence of the Nile over
flow, natural and perpetual richness
of the soil, which does away with the
great cost of fertilization.
