NO HARD PROBLEM TO SOLVE
eellboy's Suggestion Would Seem to
Be Natural Way to Get Around
Situation.

The Englshman who has been
wearing top hat and a irock coat
impressed all who saw him with his
distinguished appearance as he
strolled about with an expansive air
in one of the more expensive hotels.
On Wednesday morning he came up
TO a clerk.
IL would like to have a shirt laun-
dered, he said. IL must have 1t back
by five o'clock"
The clerk told him that the time
was unusually short, but he would do
what he could, and the shirt was de-
livered on time.
He came down Thursday morning
and said he wanted another shirt
Numbered, but that this one must be
back by two o'clock in the afternoon.
The clerk said that would be too
short a time. The Briton grew angry
and demanded to see the proprietor
He got as far as the bell boy captain
to whom he protested that he would
not stand for such treatment. The
bell boy suggested the purchase of a
third shirt.-New York Sun.

a new and exclusively British canal
to compete with it. For this, be it
ever remembered, is the one best
route to India, which is the most pre-
cious and jealousy guarded jewel in
the crown of British empire
Although touched in every way by
the influences of new life-railways,
steamships, literature, newspapers
schools, travel and free speech, Egypt
remains in some respects the most
reactionary country on the globe. 1t
is intensely Moslem, and it witnesses
outbreaks of fanaticism which show
that almost anything is possible at
any moment in Egypt When the
sacred carpet for Mecca left Alexan-
dria last year there was an unpro.
voked and unexpected attack upon in
offensive Europeans, merely because
they were Christians. 1t is known
that the Sennoussi movement, which
has its headquarters and stores of
arms at Jerabub, an oasis in the des-
ert, is powerfully represented in
Cairo, and has its teachers in Ell
Azhar, to infame the fanaticism of the
students against the Christians. For
the old. old Moslem dream of world
conquest has never been given up, and
the signs are that its point of out
break will be this same new-old city
of Cairo.

BURNING ITCH WAS CURED

Il deem it my duty to tell about
cure that the Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment have made on myself. My trou-
Bile began in splotches breaking out
right in the edge of my hair on the
forehead, and spread over the front
part of the top of my head from ear to
ear, and over my ears which caused a
most fearful burning itch, or eczema.
For three years had this terrible
breaking out on my forehead and
scalp. | tried our family doctor and
he failed to cure it. Then | tried the
Cuucura Soap and Ointment and used
them for two months with the result
of a complete cure. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment should have the credit
due, and | have advised lot OF peo-
PIE to use them" (Signed) c. d.

Itching Scalp-Hair Fell Out.
Il will say that | have been suffer-
ing with an itching on my scalp for
the past few years. My hair fell out
in spots all over my head My scalp
started to trouble me with sores, then
the sores healed up, and crusts
formed on the top. Then the hair fell
out and left me three bald spots the
shape Of half dollar. ! went to more
than one doctor. but could not get any
relief, so l started to use the Cuticura
Remedies. ! tried one bar of Cuticura
Soap and some Cuticura Ointment,
and felt relieved right away. Now the
bald spots have disappeared, and my
hair has grown. thanks to the Cuti-

Iced and managed. Traffic is que.-
ly and carefully regulated. All pub
lie servants, of whatever department,
are in uniform. The city has literal
ly all the modern conveniences-sew-
age, water gas, electric light, street
cars, telephones, excellent paving and
street cleaning, and the whole man
a d with British thoroughness and
precision.
The order of London is here, but
none of London's somberness. The
sidewalk cafes seem more numerous
than in Paris, and the streets are full
of all manner of costumes, from the
yelled women of Cairo to the swagger-
ing Macedonian, with his huge sash
and pistol or the white robed Moor
or the globe-trotter in helmet or Tyro-.
lese hat. A veritable panorama of
the nations passes daily in front of
the big hotels. Small wonder that
the tourist, fascinated by the strange
ness and colorfulness of it all, thinks
himself in the veritable east.
The barbarism which underlies NOR
ernized Cairo creeps out after night
fall, and one who strolls up the side
streets and alleys may see the digni-
Ned young Egyptian put aside his col
lege education, and forget his Paris
ian clothes, and do the sinuous ORR
entail dances, common to all barbaric
people, to the accompaniment of a
tom-tom and other primitive musical
instruments. Painted hours sit at
doorways and windows, but there is
less open vice on the streets of Cairo
than on the streets of New York.
That some of the worst phases of the
life of old Cairo persists under the
of the tourists.
At the CROSSROADS of the World.
The meeting and mingling of the
east and the west at Cairo, which
even the most casual tourist observes
is but typical Of the political condi
tions which obtain here. Egypt is the
meeting place of Africa and Asia, and
was in the battle ground of all the
world conquerors in the pre-ChristiaI
centuries. Egypt itself was once the
, most powerful, as we'll as the mos
| highly civilized nation on earth. Its
dominion extended clear to the Tigri!

only people who felt its oppressive

of their own invention. A tube is
procured, made Of tin and funnel
shaped, about three and one-half feet
long and nine inches in diameter at
the broadcast end. 1t is made wide
enough at the top to take in the OBJ
servers eyes. and the inside is painted
black. At the bottom or wide end a
clear. thick piece of glass is inserted
with little lead in the form of a ring
to weight the tube. When the instru-
ment is immersed in clear water it is
said that the observer can see down
an astonishing number of fathoms.-

Turkish Medicines.

Old-fashioned physicians have plenty
of reliable remedies for cholera. An
agate in the pocket and hyacinth on
the neck are much esteemed, but the
bone of a dead child carried in the
pocket is nearly as efficacious. Chol-
era. we learn. is caused by the moon.
Therefore drink decoctions of laurel
while Mars or Mercury is in the as
cendant, since these planets are I'M
friendly to the moon. We are glad to
know this, as we have always had our
doubts about the moon.

time its character has changed very
little, though it has grown to such pro-
portions that if it is not the Oldest,
it is surely the largest university in
the world, with about 10000 students.
It's recent history quite typifies the
change that has come over Egypt.
The title university is a misnomer,
for FL Azhar is really only theolog-
ical school, holding its sessions on the
floor of a huge mosque, or group of
mosque buildings. Garfeld's defini-
ton of a satisfactory college as a log
with Mark Hopkins on one end and a
student on the other is nearly realized
at FL Azhar, for the students simply
sit on the floor, with a teacher in the
center. Any place will do for a
class room, though certain pillars are
associated with certain classes. If a
visitor threads his way among these
groups, as l have done, he is likely to
be Kissed, in token of the students
hatred of all Christians. The books
studied consist almost exclusively of
six works dealing with the Koran and
the life of Mohammed. OF course the
study is entirely in the Arabic Ian
guage; and the studer's come from
all parts of the Moslem world. No
fees are paid by the students, but, on
the contrary, they are paid for attend
ing. OF course, none of the modern
sciences have had a place in the cur
riculum. Twelve years is a common
period for students TO spend at Ell
Azhar, and some have been in at
tendance for 20 and 80 years. All
live in the mosque.
Within the past six months the his
tory of the venerable school has been
stormy. There have been riots, with
violence to the professors and de-
struction of property. The university
has been closed, and the students
have made demonstrations before the
palace of the khedive. Both profes
sors and students have been on strike
and now, after revolutionary over
turns, the whole establishment has
been put on a new basis. The story
of the riots, in their successive
phases, is too long to be told here. Il
began with the demand of two-third:
of the teachers, who were receiving
only a pound and half a month
wages, to be raised nearer the level o.
the other third, who were getting
twenty and thirty pounds. The stu
dents thought the time opportunue t
demand an increase in the food which
they got from the state, and also TO
a stated payment in cash every month
They also demanded a modernizatiol

Was II Coming or Golna2

The train was reported forty min
utes late, and after the time had
elapsed a would-be passenger in
quired: How late is that train?"
"Oh, about an hour late
The hour passed and the query was
repeated.
We'll, they'll be about an hour and
twenty minutes late here"
Patience reigned until the query
was justly renewed. and the railroad
man replied: well. sir, I think that
train will be near two hours late"
Whereupon the passenger said:
Say, mister, will you kindly tell me
which way that train is going?"

Justly Punished.

"Why have you discharged Rich
ards? Do you think because he has
reached the age of forty-five that he
is no longer useful?"
NO, that isn't it. When l was COM
ing into the city on my car the other
morning he got in front of it at a
crossing and was so slow that in or
der to avoid running him down l had
to lose nearly half minute.

disintegrating The Khedive is said
to desire a reduction of the students
to two or three thousand. as the pres
ent lot are a heavy expense to the
state, and are really useless. 1t is
from the village and mission schools
that the new life of Egypt is coming.
So Ell Azhar has been graded and re-
organized from top to bottom, and the
students will henceforth have to learn
such revolutionary teachings as that
the world is round, and that there is
a history and geography entirely I'M
touched by the career and teachings
of the Prophet.
Americas Unique Place in Egypt.
In sharp contrast TO FL Azhar are
the schools, little and big, scattered
over Egypt. which are commonly
known as American schools, or. more
specifically, as American mission
schools. These are a feature of the
work of the United Presbyterian
church's mission in Egypt, which has
almost a monopoly of the mission
work in this country. In the educa-
liOUdl QGtil lllltAlN NAANs nave hlN tAA Ne
of 10000 students, and these are scat
tered through all grades of schools,
from village day schools to the really
remarkable college at Assiut. All
sorts of observers. from Lord Cromer
and Mr.. Roosevelt to everyday eff
cials and travellers, have credited
these schools with being potent fac
/ h, a
real awakening OF Egypt.
II is an open secret that the Brit
ish government in Egypt frequently
consults with the American mission
aries upon governmental policies, for
it is freely admitted that they know
more about the real situation than
anybody else. They are closest to
the people. and the officials really
lean upon them for help. In no oSleI
nation known to me is the standing OF
the missionaries so high as it is here
1t is curious instance of the inter
relationship of nations that the mem
bers of one of the smallest American
religious denominations should be g
potent force in the national affairs Of
one of the oldest nations, and thai
half world away.
Old and New Cairo.
This is land of paradoXes. Here
at the crossroads of the earth, is the
worlds popular playground. The very
greatness and mummies of the an
cient pharaohs. before whom the
whole world trembled, is but a diver
sion and a spectacle for tourists an'
globe-trotters. And old Cairo is one
of the newest and best governed cities
on earth. Most American municipali
ties could take lessons from what thu
British have done here. 1t is as saf'
as New York, or safer; and as clean
or cleaner. 1t is thoroughly well pc
