OYSTERS LIVE AND DEAD.
And the Big Difference II Makes When
They Are Eaten Raw.

And the Big Difference It Makes When
They Are Eaten Raw.
Speaking about keeping hotels, Sim
con Ford, who won fame and fortune
IN that profession, had this 20 say
about the succulent oyster:
People have come and sworn to
me that we had the finest oysters in
the world. Now that was all tommy
rot. We had the same oysters any one
else could buy, although we always
bought the best We could. But there Is
this about the oyster: When he is good
he is very, very good; when he is bad
he is very, very bad
There is a whole lot of difference
between a dead oyster and a live one.
When an experienced opener puts his
knife into an oyster he can tell in a
second il the oyster is really alive
He can even tell by the resistance
whether the oyster is in prime condi-
ton or only fair. II the oyster was

away, and they used to throw away

! London, England, June 22.-Events
of the gravest importance in Egypt, in
volving the Incorporation of that coun-
try and of the Soudan into the British
Empire, are impending According to
the best opinion in the official, political
and financial circles OF London and
Paris. these events will not be long
delayed.
In the opinion of Lord Kitchener
and of his government, the time for
the coup has arrived. Thus is ex-
planned the recent visit OF Earl Grey,
the secretary OF state for foreign af-
fairs to Paris. Kitchener is reported
as aleady on his way TO London to
confer with the Asquith administra-
ton in connection with the matter.
II Is regarded as not merely prob
able, but rather as well-nigh certain,
that before tn end of the year the
Turkish. as we'll as the Khedivial
flag. will have disappeared from the
entire valley Of the Nile. leaving the
Union Jack to fly in sole and undis-
puted sovereignty.
When four years ago Lord Kitch-
ener. admittedly England's greatest
soldier and most able administrator,
on his return from India and his
completion OF the radical reorganiza-
ton OF its military defenses, consent
ed to accept the relatively subordi-
nate Office OF British minister pleni-
potentiary at Cairo. it was said that
it was because he knew that there |
was work of a very important nature !
for him in Egypt. II was a task of
a character to induce him to forego ]
any ambition that he might have en-
tertained, either for the viceroyalty /
OF India or for the chieftaincy of the I
imperial stan of the army, that is
to say. for the post of principal mill
tary member of the administration.
That task was the paving OF the way
TO the definite addition of Egypt and
OF the Soudan to the vast dominions
Of the British crown. which embrace
at Che present momen. more than a
fifth of the entire globe.
Four years ago English power and
prestige were at their very lowest
ebb in the Land OF the Nile, owing
to the lamentable weakness and in
OF Sir Eldon Gorst- Mat
ters had reached such a pass that
authority derided. and any express
sion OF the views OF King Georges
government treated with contempt
Lord Kitchener realized at the
time OF his appointment, in the sum- I
ner of 1910. what any immediate
10 incorporate Egypt and I
the Soudan into the British empire I
would involve. He appreciated the :

necessity OF quality paving the way
toward any such coup by the re-
sumption of England's grasp upon
all branches of the Egyptian admin
istration, by the revival of the for
mer loyalty of the Egyptian troops
to their English instructors and Off
GERS, and, above all, by the restora-
ton OF British prestige throughout
the entire Land of the Nile.
This he set to work to accomplish
with that same methodical, system
attic, carefully calculated. and de-
liberate manner by means of which
he prepared the way to his recon
quest of the Soudan from the Derv-
ishes in 1898. And he has accom-
plished the first part of his task, that
is 10 say, the preparation for the
annexation of Egypt, wonderfully
we'll
Even the German press. which
formerly was so full of abuse of
British methods in Egypt, is enthu-
siastic in its praise of Kitchener, de-
claring that he has once more proved
the old-established axiom of those
who possess real experience, and not
mere superficial acquaintance, with
the east, to the effect that the ORR
ment, and that the only successful
ment, and thta the only successful
method of administering his des-
TIMES is by a benevolent despotism.
The incorporation of the Valley of
the Nile in the British empire is the
natural and inevitable consequence
of Frances acquisition of the En-
pire of Morocco, and of Italy's con-
quest of Tripoli. and that Kitchener
should have become the chief execu-
i've of this process of annexation, |
which will have the effect of adding |
400. 900 square miles and 100000 !
II population in Egypt alone to he
British empire. and near a million /
square miles, with population rough |
Y estimated at 100000. in the Sou
ian, is calculated TO enshrine his name !

hose of the other great builders of
hat vast British empire on which the

New York, June 22.-There is ne
happier man in America today thar
Lord Wimborne, the sponsor for the
English polo team which won the sec
ond consecutive victory June 16 from
the American team, and took from ii
the International polo cup.
1t cost Lord Wimborne round
half million dollars to bring his team
and ponies to this country, but the
victory which his team has won is
valued by him at higher price than
the sum expended.
The photograph shows Lord VIM
borne being carried on the shoulders
of happy Britons to the club house at
Meadow Brook where the games were
played. The ovation which he receiv.
ed was probably the greatest ever &C
corded any man at the end of a sport
ing event like that of the International
polo match.
The international games were a
source of great revenue to the Polo
association. 1t is learned on good
authority that after all debts have
been paid, the treasury of the Polo as
sociation will be close to $4,000 bet
ter off. This will be spent for ponies
and to help pay the expenses of an
American team when it goes to Eng
land after the cup. The receipts from
all sources-gate, moving picture and
restaurant-were nearly 100000.
1t is almost certain the Americans
will challenge for the trophy. 1t is
too early yet for any definite action,
but just as soon as H. L. Herbert,
chairman of the committee of the
Polo association, can leave his room.
where he is confined by an attack of
ptomaine poisoning, there will be
and the subject of chal-
lenge discussed.
1t is probable that Harry Payne
will captain the team which
will go TO England after the cup. His
friends will ask him to do this. With
out a dissenting voice, the poloists of
the Meadow Brook club declare that
il he had been in his old position at
No. the Englishmen would not have
won the first game by such an over
score and the Big Four
would have had a much better chance
TO win than the American team as 1t
was made up in the first game. g.,
