Village Lie In Egypt.

Egyptian village life II quaint and
interesting. says the Wide World Mag
azine. The houses arc crude. one-sto'
ried structures of sun-baked mud, with
possibly q couple Of tiny square holes
cut In the wall for ventilation. Each
home consists of 4 single room. abso-
lutely devoid Of furniture. one or two
drinking jars and cooking utensils be-
ing usually the only articles to be
seen. The roofs Of these novels are
matched with cornstalks. and for
some unaccountable reason all the
household rubbish IL dumped on the
roof! For this purpose ladder may
frequently be seen reclining against
tho side of the house. From \ dis.
lance q village II apt to look like All
immense rubbish heap. These primi.
tive erections are inhabitated solely
by the fellaheen, - Egyptian peas
ants are called.
In some Of tho Arab villages the ar
rangements for sleeping are even
more unconventional. Huge cuplike
structures made of mud, are built out
In tho open, away from the houses.
and into these the babies are frequent
ly placed during the day. and often the
entire family sleep In them at plight.
The idea is to escape the numerous
snakes and scorpions which abound
during the great heat Of the summer

For the cream whip which is easily

whipped cream that has been favored
with vanilla or wine, and spread tops
lightly with cocoa, cocoanut or minced

To get better results from a hot

Camp at Bowers Beach made things
quite lively Saturday evening, with
a pajama parade They marched
up the boardwalk singing and shout
ing as they went along. Then they
ran along the sandy bank of Muir
deIldll river and to people Who did
not know of the occasion their forms
appeared as those Of ghosts. After
being greeted by many ha has on
the south side OF the river they con-
tinued their course across the river
TO the most thiokly populated part of
the town, going across in large
row boat loaned by a friend. Upon
landing they started on a run past
the hotel and out the shell road un-
I'll they came to the dancing hall
which was crowded with its usual
Saturday night dancers The bows
stood outside the hall dancing about
the road, being greeted with many
shouts of laughter from the dancers.
After amusing the folk here they
turned their course back to the river
rowed across and marched back to
their cottage to retire for the night
The boys have been enjoying
themselves at Bowers Beach since
Monday July z. and will come home
tomorrow on the steamer Frederica

TO SEE GREAT

Much Interest in Chamber of
Commerce Trip to
Berlin

The Chamber of Commerce has re-
ceived the following letter concern
ing the coming excursion to Berlin
from j. Harrison and Son:
We have your welcome telegram
of July 8 and are glad 10 note that
Wilmington people are taking such
interest in the welfare of the PENN
sula, and we are sure that those at
tending the meeting in question will
have a chance to broaden their
views along agricultural and horti-
cultural lines, also as to the pos
sibilities of the peninsula in general.
Very truly yours,
]. c. Harrison and Sons.
This event which will be partici-
pate in by the Chamber of Commerce
of Delaware is big thing in every
sense of the term. II is not only a
meeting of the Peninsula Horticul-
tural Society but it is also the sum
mer meeting of the Maryland, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey. Virginia and
West Virginia Horticultural Socie-
ties.
The Harrisons deserve to take
rank with the wonder workers of
this age, Their nurseries have done
much already to attract attention to
this peninsula and this is not to
speak of the good work they are
doing in furthering and encouraging
progressive methods in horticulture.
A history of the Harrisons is more
wonderful than a fairy tale and
those who go on the excursion on
July 81 will be we'll repaid for their
time and money by the inspection of
these marvellous farms with their
millions of tres in al stages of de-
velopment.
No future prospect of Wilmington
is as promising as that which must
develop with the coming develop
mont of the Delmarvia peninsula.
No movement which Wilmington can
make at this time appears more
promising than an enlightened CO.
operation with those who are at this
time working to further this devel-
opment
The excursion to Berlin is in line
and in furtherance with the plan in
augErated by the dinner to peninsula
editors given on June %. The plan
is based on the conception thar there
is a mutually Of interest between
tho people of Wilmington and the
inhabitants of al that wonderful re-
gion lying between the Delaware and
Chesapeake bays
The dinner On June % inaugurated
the basis for an understanding.
There will be a reunion Of Pennsyl-
vania editors at Berlin on July 81
along with the meeting Of the Horti-
cultural Societies. The work begun
on June % can be furthered com
mendably on July 81. Let the peo-
pie of the peninsula understand that
