The sollum Anchorage.

The Gulf of Sollum is misnomer,
as a glance at any good map will
show. At Ras ell Mihr the coast takes
a sudden trend south for 20 miles,
then turns as abruptly in an easterIy
direction. Near the angle the high
coast drops suddenly in cliffy point,
nearly half mile south Of which Is
the anchorage on weedy bottom.
Twelve miles north Is Bardieh, bet
ter shelter, which would be made into
I, tolerable harbor by breakwater.
II the frontier line of Egypt were
carried about four miles to the west
Bardieh would be included in Egyp-
tian territory. The Sollum anchorage
derives its principal value from the
fact that 1t is the nearest point on the
Mediterranean to the Siwah oasis, and
Is thus the sea end of the most direct
route through string Of oases to the
Sudan. But to describe this uninvit.
ing corner of an inhospitable coast as
''the finest harbor in these parts"
in the words of a contemporary, is al
together misleading.

PRESERVED THE OLD STYLE
How One Young Bride Brought At
Inosphere Of the Past Into Her
New Home.

A young bride who went 70 house
keeping in her husband's old home
was very much disappointed to find
that his mother, with the very best
Intentions In the world had bought a
lot OF modern furniture and~put away
some really antique pieces. because
she thought they were too out of date
to please her boys city wife,
The wife, however, in a quiet way
found out that the new furniture had
been purchased with the understand
Ing that the bill be settled within six
months. She talked the matter over
with her husband and his mother and
then with the proprietor Of the store
and, in the end. all the modern" fur.
niture was taken back and the same
amount traded out for several beauti
tul rugs and the curtains for all the
rooms on the first floor Of the old
house.
Then the bride went to work and
fixed up all the "old fashioned" ,surni
ture WHICH had been stored In the 1T.
tio A dining table was found and
four chairs to match. These she had
scraped and sandpapered, then filler
applied, and, lastly, good quality var.
nish. This. when thoroughly dry was
again rubbed down until the nnal nn,
ish was dull, and the eject was splen;
did. It suggested age, but good CON.
dition.
The young wife also removed the
screens from the bid fireplace and
they laid down new hearth-stopes Of
cream brick. And the most delighted
inmate Of the home WAS the mother,
who saw In 1t all vision of bysone
days.

The latter lifted the future painter

OF going down by water to Marseilles,
