SEASON" IN EGYPT.
A Land of Romance and Sunny Skies
Historical Associations.

This is the season in Egypt, and
to Marseilles and take a boat across
the blue Mediterranean into the per-
feet sunshine which that country en-
joys through months that in England
are full of fog. There you have the
glorious blue skies and a temperature
which although warm is never in the
winter uncomfortable. and you are
face to face with three wonderful civ
ilizations. There is the land of the
Caliphs, a land rich in romance, en-
deared to every English boy and girl
and man and woman by THE Ara
bian Nights Entertainments
Yet fascinating as are the bazaars
and the tombs which ring with Ara
bic civilization, they are nothing COM
parable with the civilization of today,
with the watermills, the pilgrims
starting for Mecca, and other aspects
of life as it is lived by natives, Egyp-
tians and Bedouins, in the Egypt of
the twentieth century. But neither
of these two Egypts is the Egypt that
the traveller will most love. The
Egypt that is richest in attraction is
Sphinx and of the tombs of the kings
Happy are they who, leaving Cairo
behind them, find themselves at the
Mena House looking down upon the
Pyramids, who visit the Sphinx by
moonlight. and above all who, riding
on camels across the desert to SAX
kara, enter the tombs of the sacred
bulls-a magnificent structure under
the earth, where these much worship
ped animals were put to rest in the
long ago--and who see also at the
Sakkara the palaces that abound.
Still happier perhaps are they who
sail up the Nile under the comfort
;tbie auspices of the dahabeeahs pro-
vided by Thomas Cook & Son, who
land at Luxor, who visit karnac, who
row across the Nile, and riding on
donkeys visit the tomhs of the kings
with their wonderful decorations, and
now and again with a king actually
enthroned as he was buried centuries
before the Christian era. One must

MEMORY OF HALLOWELL GIRL.
Organ Dedicated in Brooklyn, Gift of
Daughters of Mrs. Abbie A. Merrill.

The Brooklyn Eagle publishes the fol-
lowing, which will be read with inter-
est by Hallowell readers because Mrs.
Abbie A. Merrill was born in Hallowell:
Far, far away, like bells at evening
peaiing," were the sweet tones of the set
of chimes in the new grand organ which
was dedicated yesterday morning in the
Church of Our Father First Universal
isD. Grand avenue and Fefferts place.
The dedication formed an impressive part
of the elaborate Easter service which the
Rev. DIR. Potterton conducted. At the
conclusion of the sermon the pastor feel
ingly spoke of the gift of the superb in
strument, and then. turning toward the
organ. said:
In the memory of Mrs Abbie A. Mer-
rill, member of the Church of Our
Father-a noble home-maker and a ben
efactor of humanity-we dedicate this or
gan in the name of the Father and the
Son and the Holy Ghost. and consecrate
it to the worship of God and the service
of humanity. This organ is the gift of
Mrs. Antonio Fanoni and Miss Edith j.
Merrill in memory of their beloved moth
err"
DR. Potterton then repeated the beau
tiful lines of Dr. Alexander Lyons:
Peal forth, sweet organ, full and strong,
Unto this list ming, eager throng;
Uplift US on devotions wing
With thee our Fathers praise to sing.
For duty's conflict give us might,
With soothing note make sorrow light;
Attune our lives to heavens WILL
The earth with greater joy to fill.
Most appropriately the choir then sang
Dudley Bucks superb Festival TIE
Deum" in E fiat, and the glorious Hal
lelujah Chorus" of Handel formed a fit
ting postlude on the splendid new instru-
nlent.
In the evening DIR. Potterton gave an
illustrated lecture on Ben Hur; Tale
of the Christ and the musical service
included Williams quartet Christ Is
Risen," and baritone solo, 1.-The Holy
City by j. H. Campbell.
The new organ, built by the Brooklyn
firm of Reuben Midmer & Son, is a fine
two-manual and pedal instrument, with
% stops and seven couplers. 1t is oper-
ated by an electric blower, with tubular
pneumatic action, and its tones are won
derfully sweet and clear, even when OPP

opinion that this portion of the report
should be eliminated from the district
report as a whole, those declaring for
this affirming their belief in DIR. Berry.
and likewise in his work for the strict
enforcement of the law, but believing
that it should not be Incorporated in
a report of this kind. Bishop Hamil-
ton was of the opinion that there was
nc occasion for eliminating the por-
ton referred to, and the report finally
went on record as presented by DR..
Frost.
While the portion of the report bear
ing special reference to Dr. Berry was
being read there was an evident ques-
ton in the minds of some of the min
listers within the voting bar of the
conference as to whether the report
would pass without comment, and no
sooner had the district superintend-
ent closed his peroration than Rev
II. A. Clifford of Winthrop was on his
feet.
This is splendid report" said
Mr.. Clifford, but there are some things
which l question passing in the re-
port Relative to the matter of refer
ring to DIR. Berry, think it is unwise
to overhaul the matter again, as it
has been well covered by the con-
ference"
Arthur A. Callaghan of Dridgton
quickly followed supporting the asser-
tons of the previous speaker.
Bishop Hamilton, who has shown
himself especially interested in the
advance of the temperance question,
and who has taken especial interest
in the sustaining of the temperance
movement in Maine, was a thoughtful
listener to all this conversation.
1.-THE whole matter is one of inter-
est and discussion in this State and

Porcelain Houses Next.

Util comparatively recent times,
houses were built either of wood or
brick Buildings in the suburbs and
rural districts were of frame and
those in the city brick. Stucco was
introduced a few years ago and on
the heels of that came concrete. re-
inforced concrete, hollow tile and con-
crete blocks. If a scheme that has had
the attention of man for many
years materializes, and he says it
will, houses built of porcelain will be
the next seen in the suburbs of New
York. This man is in the porcelain
business and is of a family of porce-
lain makers and has had such a build
ing in mind for 40 years
After years of experimenting he
succeeded in making a porcelain tile,
strong enough for building purposes
and soon will erect a house of porce-
lain. The tile will be built around the
skeleton frame of skyscraper. In
other words, the house will have a
skeleton frame of steel and the tile
will be nothing more than a finish
The tile will be an inch thick and of
strength not expected of such brittle
material as porcelain. 1t is a COM
position which has taken years to
find and the maker proposes to guard
HIS secret. Besides strength and re-
markable wearing qualities, the por-
celain house will be waterproof and
steam proof Except for the steel
frame it will be porcelain. The walls,
floors, ceilings, halls, stairs and ev-
erything else found in a well-con-
structed dwelling will be porcelain.
In such a house germs could not live.
There will be no corners nor angles
a hose every day if necessary. Not
only will it be the most perfect house
from a sanitary standpoint, but it can
be built cheaper and quicker than
any type of house erected at the
present time.-New York Sun.
