NEVER COUNTED THE GIRLS
Princes Answer to Question Typical
of Life in the Countries
of the Orient.

The big punkah Topped and tagged
between the columns, as we sat and
talked. Mem-Sahib, who was born in
the Caucasus amid Georgian and Cir
cassian dignitaries, and so had a hap
by way with Oriental princes, took us
all aback by suddenly asking the good
gray prince how many brothers he
had. His highness looked at her with
a queer little smile, half tolerant,
half amused, and began, with great
show of seriousness, to count them on
his fingers, first of the right hand
then of the left; after going once or
twice round, he halted, started again.
then stopped and said:
81 am afraid / must ask my secre-
tary!"
The secretary replied, with dignity.
Your highness had hundred and
nineteen brothers,"
Mem-Sahib, not whit abashed, then
asked this good Oriental nobleman
concerning his sisters.
He smiled very charmingly, saying:
Il am afraid l do not know; we
never counted them! "-Charles John.

MAKE BREAD WITHOUT FLOUR
French Machine Transforms the
Wheat Directly Into Dough-
Loaves Are Filled With Holes.

In France bread has been made
without flour in machine that trans
forms the wheat directly into dough.
This machine shows large screw
turning loosely in a case on the inner
surface of which is a screw thr I'd
running in an opposite direction.
Between the main threads on the
cylinder are smaller threads and the
depths of the groove becomes progress
sively smaller from one end to the
other, SO that it will hold the entire
wheat grain as it enters the machine,
at the same time accommodating only
the pulverized wheat at the exit.
The wheat is prepared by thor
ough washing, after which operation,
says Harper's Weekly, about a pint Of
tepid water to pound of grain Is
added, the whole mixture being al
lowed to stand some six hours. Then
the grains of wheat have swollen to
twice their ordinary size.
The mixture is then treated with
yeast and salt and is poured into the
machine. 1t falls between the threads
OF the moving screw and of the fixed
contrary screw, which simultaneously
crush the envelope and body of the
grain, making of them a homogeneous
mixture that forms smooth paste.
Bread made by this process con-
tains succession of holes whose size
increases as they approach the crust,
which is thin The 06Or given off IL

the ruler of Turkey. No Moslem Is
counted foreigner; no Christian is
counted a brother The pertinent
point is made-I have it from Cairo
editor-that if the nationalists sin
cerely stood for Egypt for the Egyp-
tians" they would give the Copt
show, for he is the simon-pure Egyp-
tan
As matter of fact, the Copts are
soldly opposed to the, plans and
methods of the nationalists. They say
that it is merely a subtle form of the
old pan-Islamic propaganda, and that
what is really intended is to restore
the temporal power of the religion Of
the Prophet; when it would be good
bye to the liberty and equality which
the oft-persecuted Copts now enjoy
under British rule. A rather sinister
fact is pointed out in this correction.
The prime minister who was assassi-
mated by thesnationalists was Copt-
that is, an Egyptian OF the ancient lin
eage-but the present prime minister
is perfectly acceptable because he is
a Moslem, though he is Turk and a
foreigner.
Despite the dreams and ceaseless
plottings of the pan-Isldmists, the new
movement in Egypt will fail. Only
fixe or six per cent. of the people can
be said 70 be at all affected by it, the
nationalist leaders themselves told
me; and in the face Of the spirit of

ceding many really trivial demands of

others, the ominous nationalist move

The bull-doggy attitude of the admin

The Donkeys Favor British Rule.
The substantial and manifest advan-
tages of British rule are better illus
trated than explained at length. The
donkeys of Egypt, for instance, would
vote unanimously for the present re
CINE if the suffrage were extended to
them. The simple reason is that it is
now against the law for man to use
a beast with sore back. The police
man may stop any donkey, camel or
horse on the highway, remove it's load,
and il it's back is raw arrest the
driver. There are even policemen
for this special purpose. The great
significance of this instance lies in the
fact that the Moslem seems to delight
in ill-treating and half-starving his
animals, and any European or Ameri-
can travellers through Islamic coun-
tries is in constant state of indig-
nation over the sore backs of most of
the beasts. Now in Egypt the Brit.
ish have replaced these usages with
the standards of civilization.

The Mos!em Menace.

A diligent study of conditions in
Egypt leads me to the conviction that
the real root of the whole unrest lies
in the seemingly ineradicable antipa-
thy between Moslems and Christians.
1t is less because Great Britain is a
foreign power in Egypt than that it is
Christian power which makes it OBJ
jectionable. For thirteen centuries
Egypt has been under Moslem gov
ernment; now to find herself under
Christian rule is CALLING to the faith.
full. Such men as Sheikh Shawfish,
the nationalist leader recently out of
prison with the halo of martyrdom on
his brow, frankly avowed to me that
the nationalist look forward to Turk
ish sovereignty. He said that it was
because Great Britain was scared by
the success of constitutional govern
ment in Turkey, and the knowledge
that Turkey would never be content
to let Egypt remain out of her hands,
that the British stirred up this buga-
boo of sedition. He says that, in ter
ror of consequences, the British have
strengthened their forces at the Gulf
of Akbar, putting only Englishmen in
command, and are preparing to resist

Some British BIunders.

In all the accusations that were
made against the British by the ma
tionalist leaders whom l interviewed l
detected a note of personal resent
ment, of offended sensibilities. Appar
emily the most fundamental of the
British mistakes-aIfd / count it really
serious-is that the dominant power
has not been considerate of the feel
ines Of the natives of the land. With
characteristic British tactlessness, the
authorities have sought to help the
people, without at all trying TO please
them When measure was deemed
for the nations welfare, it was adopt
ed, often in way that ran roughshod
over the peoples sensibilities In
word, the British have very often dis
played bad manners in dealing with
the. Egyptians. As one adviser, or
assistant to a minister, put it to me,
MY minister upstairs is quite a de-
cent fellow''-no attempt being made
to conceal the fact that the Britisher
was the real power behind the throne,
and that his superior officer was only
my minister"
There is a great deal of the public

official in colonial service, and small
attention is paid to explaining
