the TACT that the original Mary was
her ancestor.
Mary was Mary Elizabeth Sawyer,

Eqypt a Land of Paradox.

Egypt, according to Lord Miner, Is
the land of paradox. You appreciate
points, but, perhaps, most Of all when
you endeavor to come to close quar-
ters," writes Sidney Low in his inter
esting book, Egypt in Transition
with the political system. which is
full of the strangest contradictions,
the oldest contrasts between form and
fact, the reality and the conventional"
There are many people," he goes on,
who imagine that the lower Nile val
ley is a dependency of Great Britain.
1t may be-more or less-in fact; in
theory it is nothing Of the kind. Egypt
England, nor is it an independent
state. 1t is still nominally a province
of the Ottoman empire. When an
Egyptian regiment Is at drill, you will
hear it's English officers give the word
of command to the fellah conscripts
and the negro soldiers IN Turkish; for
this army Is theoretically a part of the
armed force of tho sultan of Turkey.
The officers wear the Turkish badge
on their helmets; the color party car
ries a Turkish ensign; the generals
actually receive their commissions
countersigned from Constantinople.
The theory does not bear much rela-
ton to the facts. nor is the adminis-
trative or political life OF Egypt af-

The Problem of Unemployment.
From Collier's

Men out OF work drift into OUT big cities
rs casually and normally as water drains
downhill. It's the last place they ought
to come, but that is what they do. Prob
ably they think, somewhat bltndly, that
it's the best place to hide during a period
OF hard luck. The problem then becomes
visible and organiza tons are formed to
solve it. The situation does not call for
this sort OF special effort. nor charity or
relief Of any sort. but for certain changes
in the way in which the work of modern
communities Is carried on.
Our industries are very largely run in
close connection with the markets which
they supply. The output is adjusted as
market conditions change; the ablest and
shrewdest men try to see into the future
and to anticipate It. with the result that
given town at any time fuctuates enor-
mously. Along with this has grown up
the notion that labor Is an article to be
bought or not bought as needed. The
problem OF unemployment means that men
have come to look at the work OF q COM
munity as a matter Of making salable
goods rather than as a matter OF serving
the ~community's life.
The way out is to get the men In i'm
mediate economic authority to plan for
spreading work through the entire year.

and for distributing slack time instead Of
Jumping it, SO that our industries will be
more nearly continuous. II this can be
done, a vast deal of unemployment will
disappear for good. New York city has
made a start on this through the appoint
ment of the mayors committee on employ
ment. headed by the chairman of the
United States Steel corporation. The men
composing it are mostly officials in large
companies, and any action which they
may take can be put into effect by means
of the regular operations of industry in
stead Of by temporary and artificial make
shifts.
AS Mr.. Henry Bruere, the originator of
the plan, has pointed out, 1t may be neces-
sary to supplement this with some form
of labor insurance, but the first step in
preventing unemployment is to regularize
industry. New York's experience will be
watched with interest.

Some of the remarks of Irwin S. Cobb

A perusal, however, of that entertain
Ing work, fails to reveal these lines. and
one can only come to the conclusion that
Mr.. Chamberlain occasionally supplied
himself with his own poetical quotations..
Stuck to His Favorites.
For ~ years James Russell Lowell, the
famous American poet and essayist, who
wrote The Biglow Papers," was Mr..
Chamberlain's favorite poet. but appar-
emily he did not make very extensive in
cursions into owelIs humorous master
piece. When he found a quotation that
suited his purpose he stuck to it, judging
by the fact that the first lines quoted IN
this article served him in six separate
speeches.
On one occasion Mr.. Chamberlain made
use of "Pinafore" in the following stanza;
IT'S greatly to his credit.
Although he himself has said it.
He is an Englishman.
And in spite Of all temptations
TO belong to other nations,
He remains an Englishnan.
And In 1885 at Glasgow Mr.. Chamber
lain, having jotted down these lines from
Burns, used them with effect in his speech
in that city:
It's hardly in a body's power
TO Keep at times from being sour
10 see how things are shared.

was:

ENGLISH STATESMAN
WAS FOND OF LOWELL
From London Tit-Rits.

a =
NO politician ever had a greater belief
IN the oratorical virtues of poetry than
MI. Joseph Chamberlain, whose final re-
tlrernent from the political arena, on ac-
count of his prolonged i'll health, is re-
GREETED by men of all shades of opinion.
AS a boy Mr.. Chamberlain had a passion
Tor poetry, and 1t was his favorite study
even when, as a small boy. he attended
the little preparatory school in Gambler
Wen which was Kept by the Misses Pace.
Inc famous statesman once confessed to
a friend that at the beginning of his
political career he made a practice of jot,
ting down in g. memorandum book any
little verses he came across which he
thought might be useful to quote in his
speeches. Whether this little memoran.
dunn book Is still in existence, it is diff
cult to say; but a perusal of Mr.. Cham.
berlain's speeches during his strenuous
career reveals many interesting facts con.
corning his fayorite poets.
Not Frivolous.
Unlike the late Sir William Harcourt,
a postmaster in the art of classical quo
ming. and Peel, who were fond of airira
their knowledge of Homer, Virgil and
Horace in public, Mr.. Chamberlain found
inspiration in more popular verse, al.
though he was never SO frivolous as Sir
ELLIS Ashmead-Bartlett, who once re-
marked, "The complaint, Mr.. Speaker, Of
the opposition concerning this measure
may be expressed in the language of the
Horettist-that although full expenditure
on necessities has been made,
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow."
At the same time, Mr.. Chamberlain was
not averse to humorous quotations. and
THE Biglow Papers" furnished him with
many apt lines. One of his favorite quo
tations in his early days was the fol-
lowing:
The worlds a dreffle bad place for our
sins,
Where there allus is critters about with
long pins,
