SOUTHERN PLAY PLEASES.

There was only one adverse criti- cism for "The Sweetest Girl in Dixie" and that is that 1t was too slow. In every other respect 1t was truly de- lightful. but after all the fault may lie with us-perhaps we Northerners are so used to going some that we have no patience with a Southern gentleman taking five minutes to place a bouquet of flowers before his wife's picture and order a mint tulip after all life is all in the view point and north of 54.20 we may see things in a different light. The most excel lent acting of Miss Roberts as the nigger nanny and that of Robertson as Uncle George could not help to make a big impression. but If they had been less true to life and more like the vaudeville black face comedians some might have liked them better.

CoNSTANTINOPLE. Oct. 2.-The cabinet has ordered a partial mobili- ration of the army. Until today no steps had been taken to meet the dan ger threatened by the mobilization of the armies of Bulgaria, Greece and Servia. The Turkish government seemed to believe that war would not come or that its enemies were too weak to cause much trouble if 1t did.
 The order of partial mobilization has electrified the Empire once again and scenes similar to those enacted before the Italian war are being wit messed everywhere.

 LONDON. Oct. 2.-It seems alto gether unlikely now that war between the Balkan states and Turkey will be averted. The situation now could not be worse short of actual war.
 The only element now wanted for the beginning of hostilities is the con- sent of Roumania to join Turkeys enemies. The Roumanians. while hat ing Turkey as much as any of the others. are slow to join the alliance and have not taken the slightest step to bring about hostilities.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

When a clock refuses to run 1t is
often because it needs oiling, and an
easy way to oil 1t is to saturate a
piece of absorbent cotton and place It
In the bottom of the clock. The oil
will evaporate and oil the works.
A whisk broom is a great conven-
fence in sprtnkling clothes.
Old bed spreads are useful for many
things. A large part may be used for
silence cloths on card tables, or II
enough is good, one for dining table.
The smaller pieces may be made
double and used as bath mats. The
small pieces make fine wash cloths;
so every bit may be used.
A small-sized baking powder can,
with few holes punched in the bot
tom. makes fine food chopper. and
can be used to chop potatoes while
they are frying.
II coffee or spice mill Is needed
for other grinding, It can be nicely
cleaned by running few dry crack
ers through It or little rice.
If velvet bows get unused on hat or
gown, wrap the heated curling tongs
with a wet cloth and steam them into
shape again.
II sweaters and knitted garments
are dried on coat hangers they will
look much more shapely.
Bake pumpkin pie In small patty
tins and serve with a spoonful Of
whipped cream On each.
Save all fruit juices to use in froz-
en- dishes or for pudding sauces.

cious balls than popcorn, as there

remains in some respects the most
reactionary country on the globe. It
is intensely Moslem, and 1t witnesses
outbreaks of fanaticism which show
that almost anything is possible at
any moment in Egypt. When the
sacred carpet for Mecca left Alexan-

voked and unexpected attack upon in
offensive Europeans, merely because
they were Christians. It is known
that the Sennoussi movement, which
has its headquarters and stores of
arms at Jerabub, an oasis in the des-

HINTS FOR THE HousEkEEPER.

This is the season of the year when
we get our best nuts, and those who
are living without meat find they
prove good substitute
Olive oil, cream and butter are all
valuable foods and should be used
freely.
The plan of keeping a house purse
downstairs near at hand will save
many steps and much time.
Cookies and cakes in stone jars with
pieces of orange or lemon peel will
find them delicately favored.
A child's broom will be found most
useful in sweeping under heavy pieces
of furniture or in small spaces where
it is not easy to use broom.
Keep two calendars at hand; they
will be found most useful. one to tear
OF, the other to keep to refer back to
past dates when necessary.
A dainty little ruching for the house
dress is made of the footing of lace
used good deal a few years ago.
Basic or plat on double to narrow
binding, and put into the necks OF all
the washable morning dresses. These
ruchings launder well.
A very easy way to tint lace any
desired color Is to use oil paints, the
kind which comes in small tubes used
by artists. Thin 1t with gasoline and
dip a small piece Of lace to get the
right shade
To make handkerchiefs look like
new that have been washed, iron when
very damp, or add very little starch
to the rinse water.
Instead of sweeping the carpets 80
much with a broom, cover the broom
with bag, dampen slightly and rub
It over the carpet in the direction of
the pile. 1t will not be necessary to
sweep 1t so often.
Before writing letter, a great help
Is to jot down items which may be
written about; In that way good let
| ter is written and when 1t is sealed
and on it's way one is not so apt to
remember that the most important
thing was left unsaid.

The order of London Is here, but
none of London's somberness. Tho
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

people, to the accompaniment Of q
tom-tom and other primitive musical
instruments. Painted houris sit at
doorways and windows, but there ia
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
surface is party due to the patronage
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-
tons which obtain here. Egypt Is the
meeting place Of Africa and Asia, and
within few hours sail of Europe. 1t
was in the battle ground of all the
world conquerors in the pre- christian
centuries. Egypt itself was once the
most powerful, as well as the most
highly civilized nation on earth. Its
dominion extended clear to the Tigris
river, and the Hebrews were not the
only people who felt its oppressive
power.
Today the greatest waterway that
the hand of man has fashioned or
controlled runs through Egypt, the
Suez canal. So crowded is it with
profitable tonnage that the British are

time its character has changed very
little, though it has grown to such pro-
portions that II it is not the Oldest,
1t is surely the largest university In
the world. with about $4,000 students.
Its recent history quite typifies the
change that has come over Egypt.
The title university Is a misnomer,
for Ell Azhar is really only theolog-
ical school, holding it's sessions on the
floor Of a huge mosque, or group of
mosque buildings. Garfelds defini-
ton of satisfactory college as log
with Mark Hopkins on one end and a
student on the other is nearly realized
at Ell Azhar. for the students simply
sit on the floor, with 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 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 lam
guage; and the students 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 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 30 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 profess
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 1t
began with the demand of two-thirds
Of the teachers, who were receiving
only a pound and a half a month
wages, to be raised nearer the level of
the other third. who were getting
twenty and thirty pounds. The stu
dents thought the time opportunue to
demand an increase In the food which
they got from the state, and also for
a stated payment in cash every month.
They also demanded a modernization
of the institution.
All this means that old Ell Azhar Is

disintegrating. The Khedive Is said
to desire a reduction of the students
to two or three thousand, as the pres
ent lot are 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
history and geography entirely un-
touched by the career and teachings
of the Prophet.
Americas Unique Place In Egypt.
In sharp contrast to>El 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-
tional department they have upwards
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 off,
Gals and travellers, have credited
these schools with being potent fac
tors-perhaps the most potent-in the
real awakening of Egypt.
1t is an open secret that the Brit
ish government in Egypt frequently
consults with the American mission
aries upon governmental policies, for
1t 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 other
nation known to me is the standing of
the missionaries so high as it is here.
1t is a curious instance of the inter.
relationship of nations that the mem
bers of one of the smallest American
religious denominations should be a
potent force in the national affairs OF
one OF the oldest nations. and that
half world away.
Old and New Cairo.
This is a 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 diver.
sion and spectacle for tourists and
globetrotters. And old Cairo is one
of the newest and best governed cities
on earth. Most American municipal.
ties could take lessons from what the
British have done here. 1t is as safe
as New York, or safer; and IS clean,
| or cleaner. 1t is thoroughly well 20.
